FEVER STILL SPREADS

New Orleans, Aug. 11.-New cases Of
yellow fever in this city since s p. m.
Thursday, 12. Deaths, 8; total cases to
date, 759; total deaths to date, 127.
There is practically no change in the
fever situation in New Orleans today.
While reports of new cases continue
and the records show the disease is
spreading, the death rate continues to
decrease. There is no fever in Ala
bama or Mississippi.
The fever situation shows no ma
terial change, tho the record of new
cases in the preceding twenty-four
hours is the high water mark during
the present visitation. Federal sur
geons are not in the least surprised at
the number. DR.. White expects large

Robert McAdam, government in
spector Of renovated butter factories,
and connected with the agriculture de-
partment at Washington, paid visit
to the Office of Dairy Commissioner
Wright yesterday. Mr. McAdam
states that Des Moines is one of the
greatest centers of renovated butter
there is in the west. There are three
factories here and there is nothing to
prevent them from sending out reno
waited butter to be sold to the people
as the genuine first class article. He
says it is a favorite trick Of many
merchants to keep behind their counter
in the winter or in the refrigerator
in the summer the kegs or tubs of but
ter. When a customer comes to the
store for butter they take 1t from the
renovated tub, and the customer not
seeing the tub doesn't know the differ
ence till he detects it in it's use, and
some of them are not able to do that.
1t is Mr. McAdam's duty to inspect the
butter that is sold to the government
for use in the navy This has to be
of the best brand as some Of it is kept
in storage for as much as three years
II i
Discussing the pure food laws and
the need Of them Mr.. McAdam says
that in New York where he was con-
nected with the pure food department
for some years the milk dealers are
forced by law to reduce the tempera-
ture Of the milk to SO degrees as soon
as it is milked. Tlsen it is shipped to
the city in refrigerator cars and must
be delivered at a temperature of so
degrees there. If the temperature is
above that the milk is confiscated and
dumped into the river forthwith and no
ceremony, the inspector being an auto
crat in that respect. The chemical de-
partment Of the New York pure food
inspection costs the state 100000 year
and Iowa refused to enact bill at the
last session because the entire pure
food department would cost the state
something less than $4,000.
An Improvement over the Iowa law
in New York as respects milk is that
it must have 3 per cent fat and 12A
per cent solid as minimum. Iowa re-
ouires only the 8 per cent fat. This
frequently allows milk man to skim
his milk and still have per cent fat in
it. The purpose Of the law there is to
sell the milk as it comes from the
COW. If the milk is below the standard
the inspectors must visit the milk
mans farm at once and inspect the
milk as it comes from the COW. If 1t is
found that this is below standard the
man is exempt from punishment under
the law as the COW alone is RESPONSE
hle.

CREDENTIALS STILL AN ISSUE.
komura's Credentials Being In Japan
ese, Raises Difficulties Not Yet Set
tied.
Portsmouth, Aug. IA very re-
marka BILE state of affairs exists regard
ing the credentials of the Japanese
plenipotentiries, and the end is not
yet. Notwithstanding yesterdays Of
fetal statement, that with the ex-
change of credentials all difficulties
upon that point had been removed,
the Associated Press learns authors
lively that the matter still is an issue.
This is in consequence of k-omura's s
credentials being in Japanese, which
of course the Russians couldn't read,
and no attested copy of the transla-
ton being received by Witte.
The difference in the powers con-
ferred upon the two sets of plenipo-
tentiaries raises a very delicate point
and one of the greatest moment Ko-
mura's credentials provide that any
treaty negotiated must receive the
ratification Of the emperor Of Japan,
while the powers conferred upon Witte
to conclude treaty are absolute. I'm
less the powers of Baron Kolnura are
increased to make them co-equal with
those conferred upon Witte. Emperor
Nicholas will have the right to ratify
or reject any treaty that is negotiated
or reject any treaty that is negotiated.
Witte communicated to Japan a note
to this effect.
