were made on ten members OF the Sc
guranica crew immured at the pest house
last Saturday
one Thomas McGill. a ships steward,
was declared free from taint Of yellow
fever at the expiration at the time limit

FOUR CHILDREN TRANSFERRED.
Symptoms OF fever. the nature of which
has not been determined, were discovered
today on the steamer Proteus, direct from
New Orleans. Even while the health
officials at quarantine were announcing
that this steamer. from fever infected
New Orleans, was free from fever
symptoms, a record which few vessels
even from ports where there Is no plague
have made, the fever symptoms were de-
veloping in four children.
The five-day limit. I'm which yellow cases
develop, was within three hours Of its end
when Health officer Doty announced that
the Proteus had no abnormally high
temperatures on board. At the end OF the
time limit another test caused four chill
dren 10 be transferred TO Hoffmans ISL
and for inspection for the cause OF fever
which had just appeared Three adults
accompanied them 10 the detention hos
pital.
The Proteus then proceeded to her dock
with the remaining passengers and mem
bers Of the crew. Great care was exer-
cised when the steamer sailed from New
Orleans. Four passengers were rejected
because they came from Italian quarters
OF the city and no steerage passengers
were allowed on the ship. The crew did
not go ashore at all in New Orleans.

LARGEST CITY IN THE WORLD.
Claim Made ny OniciaIs ~ New york
city.

New York. May 3i.--Taklng OF
the state census Is to begin Thurs
day. Experts believe that the results
will show that Greater New York Is
rapidly becoming the largest city In
the world and that In actual figures
III Is not far behind London which
now holds the pre-emlnence. Lon
don's 100000 and odd inhabitants
are distributed over an enormous
area which Is largely what might be
called suburban.
Considering New York as that
community which radlates about 20
miles from the city hall. includes q
600 square miles OF ground and Is
populated almost altogether by per-
sons who came to Manhattan every
day and In everything except nomina
residence spend their lives here. the
Bgurs. Il has been estimated. will
reach 5.i56,o91.
Based upon the results of the last
census, the enumerators expect to
find S.9iS,191 persons in what Is
called Greater New York" 10000
In the buster parts Of Westchester
county. 81 900 in Nassau county and
.t1,f00 In Rockland county In New
Jersey. which rapid communications
and business interests have virtually
annexed to the city, the population
is estimated at $4,000 in Hundson
county. $4,000 in Bergen county,
$4,000 In Passaic county, 3SA,Ooo
in Essex county, 1000 in Morris
county. $500 in part of Somerset
and $4,000 In part OF Union, $4,000
in part of Mlddlesex and 5l,ooo IN
part of Monmouth.
One curious feature OF the enum-
Grafton will be that II a person dies
on June the day the work begins
he Is included in the count, even
though the enumerators may NOT
reach that particular house until
week afterward, but II a person Is
born on June he or she will not be
counted until ten years from now,
under the provisions of the state con
stitution.
