Fifty-four Deaths and Over One Hun
dred Cases at New Orleans.

New Orleans. July 26.-Last night,
in response to the request of the State
Board of Health, the City Board of
Health compiled the figures of suspi-
cious and actual cases Of yellow fever
and deaths and the figures as issued
by the state board show between July
18th and July 21st there were about
100 cases suspicious and positive and
twenty deaths.
Since then there have been fifty-four
cases and twelve deaths up to the
oath, making, all told, 154 cases and
thirty-two deaths.
Yesterday there were two deaths,
making thirty-four to date. There are
about fifty cases under treatment. DR..
George B. Young. United States ma
rine hospital service, has been as
signed to take charge of the inspection
of trains, to cooperate with the states
and localities which have instituted
Quarantines, and he will make his
headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi.
Prompt daily reports hereafter will
enable the health authorities to keep
an accurate record.
In yesterdays mail was sent out a
circular to every physician in the city
urging the prompt report of all cases
Of fever, typhoid, malarial. yellow and
otherwise, so that the appearance of
new foci may be Immediately establ-
lished, screened and watched.
The doctors are also asked to sur.
-ender any individual opinions they
may have and to cooperate with the
state and federal authorities in as
rigid an application as possible of the
mosquito theory.
Subscriptions are being taken to a
fund of 100000 for the maintenance
of a detention hospital. Sanitation in
the French market quarter. where the
disease incubated, continues. That
section is now probably in more
cleanly condition than it has been at
any time since the war.

Supreme Court has issued, on motion
of the town of Lander, permanent in
junction restraining w. C. Irvine, state
treasurer from paying to the trustees
of the State University the annual agri-
cultural college allowance of $4,000.
The injunction was granted too late to
prevent the payment of the 1905 ap-
preparation, as the money already is
in the hands of the trustees, but the
town of Lander may take steps to pre-
vent the trustees from making use of
il.
The injunction was granted on the
ground that the removal of the State
Agricultural College from Lander to
Laramie by the last Legislature was
unconstitutional. such action being pos
sible only by two-thirGs vote OF the
qualified electors of the state.

UINTAH RESERVE REDUCED.

Generally Good.

Denver, Colo. July 22.-The Repub-
lican this morning prints the following
Washington special: 1t is probable
that within few days the President
will set aside from the unreserved
lands of the Uintat Indian reservation
something like $4,000 acres along the
Duchesne river, Lake creek and Dry
creek, in order that the reclamation
service may develop projects for their
irrigation.
A request was today made that
these lands be withdrawn and as soon
as a detailed statement giving list
of the lands is submitted. the applica-
ton will be approved and the lands
designated will be withheld from en-
try.
Mr.. Richards was to-day shown a
copy of the resolutions adopted by the
chamber of commerce of Grand juno
tion last Saturday night. denouncing
statements that the Uintah lands are
not attractive and declaring them to
be as valuable as any lands in Utah.

INSURANCE LICENSES.
Colorado Commissioner Reaches Out
for Amounts Uncollected.

Denver, July 26.-The state insur-
ance commissioner reports that his
Investigations indicate that the insur-
nance companies operating in Colorado
have managed to evade taxation to an
amount approXimating $4,000. He is
reaching out to collect unpaid license
fees that have become due during the
past six years and expects to gather
in from $4,000 to $4,000 within the
next few weeks from this source.
The law provides that insurance
companies (not the solicitors) shall
take out yearly license for each and
every solicitor and pay the sum of 81
therefor. But all this time the com
panies have been sending in lists of
agents each year and at the same time
receiving business from agents for
whom they have paid no license, al
though possibly these agents may have
been licensed for other companies,
which by no means fultills the require
ments of the law.
When he began to check up, the
present commissioner found that ten
agencies were owing the state for the
six years past for which the statute of
limitations will permit him to collect)
as follows: $40, $64, $114, $126, $240,
1928, $424, $49S, $500, $S0S. There are
over 200 insurance companies doing
business in the state so it can be seen
what the outlook is for replenishing
the treasury from this source.
When Commissioner Rittenhouse be-
gan this work the agents of some of the
companies refused to permit him to ex-
p16mine their books, but soon discovered
that the law authorizes him to do so.
Although 1t has been seldom enforced,
the law empowers the auditor of state,
who is ex-officio superintendent of in
surance, to administer oaths, subpoena
witnesses and punish fot contempt by
fine or Imprisonment any company or
agent refusing to permit an examina-
\ ton of it's or his books.
But. while there has been some op-
position, many agents are said to be
anxious to see the law rigidly enforced.
as it promises to weed out a consid-
cradle number of worthless and ire
sponsible agents.
Altogether the insurance department
has already collected S169,000 in fees,
etc, this year and expects to bring
the sum up to 100000 before the year
closes

CONFIDENT OF PEACE
DIPLOMATS VIEWS
Japan Will Demand an Indemnity to
Cover Cost of the War-Wants
Negotiations to Be in Eng
Iish anouaue


New York, July 26.-That Japan will
demand an indemnity OF Russia in the
negotiations for peace and that the
war will be declared at an end at the
conclusion of the negotiations at
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, next
month, is the belief of Baron Komura,
head of the Japanese peace delegation,
who arrived here yesterday, as voiced
by Aimar Sato, who is the official
spokesman for the baron on this mis-
sion.
Mr.. Sato, in an interview last night,
said:
Il am confident that peace will be
successfully negotiated by the ap-
pointed delegations The Japanese will
be guided by moderation, and no eX-
cessive demands will be made, but the
sentiment in Japan and Russia is for
peace, and in the interests of humanity
and property there must be peace.
THE cost to Japan has been very
great. On both sides the loss in men
has been $4,000, Russia losing 100000
of these. The was is costing Japan ST.
100000 day, and there is a feeling
that there ought to be an indemnity.
THE Japanese are not so gentle as
to abide by any decision we may make,
pul lHey pay Sledl leSpeCl W lne VI
fees of President Roosevelt and his
acts have done great deal to empha-
size the need of peace"
Mr.. Sato further said that the Jap
anese would p&fe to have the nego-
tiations in the English language, as
neither Baron Komura nor himself
speaks French. The matter, however,
would be settled after President Roose-
welt had met the two representatives
AS to the attitude of the Japanese men,
bers toward the Russian delegates, Mr.
Sato said:
I'VE admire NJ. Witte and Baron
Rosen. The announcement of NJ.
Whites appointment to the peace party
was more welcome to us than that of
any other person could have been. We
recognize him as a great statesman"
Japan's attitude toward China was
most friendly, said Mr.. Sato, and while
maintaining no moral Monroe doctrine
over the empire, she felt that it was
more or less under Japan's protection.
This protection, by way of illustration
Mr.. Sato said, was mot so strong over
China as that of the United States over
South America"
Mr.. Sato emphasized the announce
ment made frequently before, that ia
pan does not seek territorial aggran-
dizement, and on this point the speaker
said:
I'VE want in Manchuria equal op-
4 portunity, or what Mr.. Hay called the
open door,"
