 cally' all arrangements have been com

 the Southern Immigration and Quaran
 tine Conference which will be held Tn
 this city November 9 and f0 From
 comparison of the list of delegates ap-
 pointed and the assurance of those who
 will be present, 1t was found that the
 attendance will be at least 300. Word
 has been received from all of the Gov ernors who signed tne call and with one. exception they have pledged tnem- selves to be present. The delegates also will include the almost entire Southern Senatorial and Congressman membership. lt.r The proposition for private control of quarantine has made it particularly im- portant to, the members of the National Legislature to participate In the pro- l ceedings of the conference. I A number of Commissioners of Agri- culture have likewise signified their I intention of being present while more than 100 representatives of Board of Healtbs throughout the South will at | tend to listen to the address of Sur geon General Wyman, on the origin and 1 prevention of yellow fever. | Hon. F. P. Sergeant. Commissioner General of Immigration. will be pres ent as the personal representative Of Secretary Metcalfe, of the Department of Commerce and Labor. to discuss the ! question of the operation of present immigra tion laws.
 The official announcement was also made that both the Southeastern and Southwestern Passenger Associations had granted rate of one fare for the round trip.
 The immigration agents of practically all the railroads will be present so that the outlook Is all that the Commission could desire at this time as to the suc- cess of the conference. A number of requests have been pre- sented to the committee for the pur- pose of sending representatives, but as these were outside those named in the call as being entitled to send delegates. it was beyond the province of the local committees to pass on them. The program committee has reported the following as the official program and the same will go out at once. The conference will be held in the Chatta- nooga Auditorium which will be hand somely decorated for the occasion. It has been further decided that one of the most appropriate souvenirs that could be presented to the guests and delegates would be the recently pub lished album of views of the historical and scenic attractions of Chattanooga and a special committee was appointed with instructions, to procure suffi- cient number of these from the pub fishers to distribute to the delegates of this conference. .Er.
