News Generally Favorable.

NEWS 0cncTdiiy FdNoTdpic.
 Quarantine news today was generally of favorable character, more communi- ties showing a disposition to abolish or modify their regulations within the next ten days or two weeks. Dr. White be- lieves that if spell of cold weather comes soon, which Is not altogether inn probable, the sentiment in favor of re- storing intercourse will grow rapidly. Plaquemines parish, below the city, which has passed irksome quarantine, has prac- tically re-opened communication, and re- moved the bars against the extensive oys- ter traffic between that parish and New Orleans. It was announced today that oyster luggers with the privilege of car rying passengers who are citizens of Plaquemines could come and go Into port daily. On his recent trip, Dr. White look ed into the situation at Patterson, which is perhaps the principal district in the state, outside of New Orleans, that Is worst infected. He considers conditions there to be still unfavorable, due to the fact that there has not yet been hearty cooperation with the authorities on the basis of the mosquito theory, and has about decided to offer to the state board one of his surgeons to go to that town and take full charge.
 Interest In Presidents Visit.
 Interest is growing in the visit of the I1tSlutlil anu tIt dlttIludfct llouH OlntI parts of the state promises to be large. Even if quarantines are not lifted plant CTS, merchants and professional men who have been kept away from the city will take advantage of the opportunity to come here and participate in the recep- ton, and at the same time transact busi- ness which they have had to postpone, expecting that practically all the quaran- tines will be raised early in November, and that they then will be able to return to their homes. In the event that the Presidents mind Is changed in his visit for o'clock on the evening of the 26th. an afternoon lunch is to be substituted for the banquet which was being planned.
 Cases Above Canal Street.
 Only four of the cases reported above Canal street thus keeping up the propor- ton that has been noted for the past month. Of the 193 cases now under treatment. less than twenty-five are above Canal street That means that the upper part of the city is practically clea of fever. Of the other cases. thirty-six are in the Emergency hospital which had only one admission today, and that case was not sufficiently pronounced to be declared yellow fever. Every one of the three deaths was an Italian. and two of them were down town. One of the we'll known practitioners in the lower part of the city. Dr. L. Szabary. was arrested on a charge of failing to report a case of yellow fever which was found by the Eighth ward commander, Dr. Eustis
 Dr. White is figuring on sending ma rine hospital officer to Patterson. as well as the lower Lafourche country, for the purpose of cleaning mp the infection there, but desires first to be assured of the hearty cooperation of the people in those localities. This is not always forth coming asS was evidenced in the case of the marine hospital officers sent to Scran- ton, on the Mississippi coast, who re- turned to headquarters Acting Assistant Brehet, who was sent to Hamburg Miss. also returned to the city as a result of lack of cooperation on the part of the people of that afflicted community. He established an emergency hospital there, but could get no one to enter 1t, nor
