The record shows the smallest num-
ber Of new cases since August;s and the
largest number of deaths on any day
since the fever. made its appear rance.
The UNUSUAL number of deaths Is at
Lributed IN a~measure to the change in

weather OF the preceding week Three
nell-knoWn merchants are among the
new cases. : Only two names that can
be traced to Italian origin are among

The principal news from outside ter
ritory was the announcement from
NatcLez' of the discovery of six cases
there and of the attempt to blame New
Orleans for them 90 tsfr
This is regarded as rather strange in
view of the fact that of. all the tight
duarartines against New Orleans, Nat
chez has maintained the tightest, not
even allowing it's own people to return
there if they had been near New Or
leans.
Other reports from the country are
as follows:

GOOD LAND is SAID
TO BE VERY SCARCE
Prospective Settlers ON Uin-
tah Reservation Returning
Without Making Filings.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. 2.-Many
prospective settlers on Government lands
in the Uintah reservation are reported TO
be returning, having become discouraged
by the scarcity Of good lands available.
William s. Gray of Lehigh, Utah, Is
one of these. Gray drew No. Is IN the
allotment and expected to secure a good
farm. After looking carefully over the
land he has returned, determined not to
file upon any land. Gray says all that is
left for settlement after the Indians have
taken their allotment Is precipitous hills
and alkali fats. He reports that men
with low numbers who went out to get
farms are returning by the hundreds
Similar conditions are reported by Daniel
S. Burch of Ogden. who drew No. 10. and
who has returned without making fling
after inspecting the lands on the reserva-
ton.

PLENTY .OF MEN !.
FOR THE CANAL
Chairman Shonts Says the
Dirt Will Soon Be Flying
Oh Isthmus of Panama

Contractor Offers to Supply
One Hundred Thousand
Laborerss els for the Work

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug. 27.-Theo-
dore Shonts. chairman OF the Isthmian
Canal Commission. was a diner with
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt tiliss evening.
He came to talk ever with the Presi-
dent some matters in connection with
the canal work
Chairman Shents said, in response to
inquiries about the resignation of SUI
perintenaent Prescott of. the Panama
Railway, that. Prescott, had resigned
presumably because OF structures made
upon his conduct OF tie road He said
Prescott had been succeeded by Baird
OF the Rock Island system, who is now
en- route to Panama to assume his new
duties.
Il have laid off all steam shovels,"
said Shonts. until the railroad tracks
have been put into proper condition
for their use. found when was on
the isthmus at least six steam shovels
out of which the operators were not
getting TO exceed TWEEN five per cent
Of efficiency. That condition could not
be allowed TO go on, so we have or
dered all steam shovel work discontin-
ued for the present.
We shall have no difficulty in get
ting all the labor we may want. The
superintendent, who has charge of that
branch of the work has worked $4,000
men on a single contract, and he says
he could get 100000 blacks for work
on the canal If so many were needed
The principal idea at present is to pro-
vide quarters for the employees, to es
Ia-.ish good sanitary conditions and
to arrange for the prompt payment of
the men. Once these preliminaries are
arranged. we will begin to make the
dirt fly

gives ground for fear that violence will
follow such an attempt on the company 5

Mrs. Taggart is very hopeful and con-

this evening said:
"It does not seem possible that Judge
Eason could take my boys from me. I
have felt from the start OF the case that
