 What Physicians Say.
 Dr. Charles Whelan: T see no need for Birmingham to quarantine. From what I know of the disease 1t could not live in Birmingham"
 Dr. Cunningham Wilson: q do not think that the city need be quarantined against New Orleans. Should a case hap pen to slip into Birmingham it could easily be controlled. The disease can be controlled now without trouble. When they broke up the epidemic in Havana It proved conclusively that the disease was under the control of the medical profess sion and is no longer to be feared as it used to be-"
 Dr. James McLester: T think there is very lltle danger of the disease here. I don't believe 1t could spread here. as 1t Is carried from patient to patient by no other means than the mosquito" pr. Mack Rogers: q do not think there Is any danger here. Yellow fever could not live In Birmingham and that is the reason I do not think the quarantine necessary"
 Dr. Wyatt Hefin: Yellow fever could not live here, and therefore l do not be- liieve that the quarantine is necessary. If a case were to get to Birmingham it would run its course. but I do not think that 1t would spread. It is easily controlled now"
 pr. c. H. Jerngan q do not deem the quarantine necessary. However, I think that the city council should watch the matter carefully and if necessary have an officer keep special watch, but hardly think the quarantine necessary" F. R. Harty, a representative of the Rumsey Manufacturing company of New York, arrived in Birmingham yesterday morning from New Orleans and talked in- terestngly last night at the Morris of the yellow fever situation in the Crescent i City.
 "There can be no doubt" said MT. Har- ty, that yellow fever has broken out in New Orleans and that the people there are alarmed l think the authorities l there are making a mistake in attempting to keep the thing quiet was in the city two days, and left there at o'clock yesterday afternoon. So far as I could judge a systematic effort is being made there to repress all reports concerning actual conditions in the city. In spite of this, however, 1t has leaked out that vel low fever has broken out in several DOT tions of the town.
 "The first case was reported from the Italian and Greek colony, which lies about three or four blocks south of Jackson square, the Cabildo and St. Louis cathe- dral. This section used to be the aris- tocratic portion of the town, but Is now inhabited for the most part by immi- grants from southern Europe. It is near the old French market and about a mile south of Canal street.
 "A number of cases have been reported from that quarter of the city by the med teal authorities. l also heard that the disease had broken out in what Is known as the red light district, and that a woman resident there had died. It was also reported that the disease had cross ed Canal street and claimed victims in what is the Second ward, or that section of the city near the Union passenger station on Howard avenue
 Many persons are leaving New Orleans, When our train left last night the station was thronged and it required several po- licemen to keep the crowds quiet.
 New Orleans keenly resents the action taken by Mississippi and Alabama in is- suing quarantine instructions against her.
 At Mobile, the quarantine is being rig orously enforced. They would permit no one to leave the train. noticed, however. that many persons got aboard at Mobile.
 New Orleans just now" said MT. Barty, lis exceedingly dirty. and 1 would not be surprised to learn that conditions there grew steadily worse"
 Immune as Ashevlle.
 Rev. J. w. Stagg, D. D.: q don't see any need of a quarantine as far as Bir- mingham is concerned The disease can not live here We are up in the noun tains and as immune from yellow fever as Asheville It will be a bad thing for Birmingham to close out the refugees. It is also hard on New Orleans not to have any outlet for its people in time like this"
 The Rev. Quincy Ewing: "l am heart fly in favor of the stand taken by The | Age-Herald in regard to the matter of quarantine against New Orleans. l do not think that it is necessary to exclude passengers from New Orleans. when there Is no possible danger of the disease break ing out in Birmingham. l believe Bir- mingham should be excluded from the general order for the state, as there is positively no need for quarantine here"
 The Rev. Dr. Sterling J. Foster: Il am opposed to a quarantine being put on New Orleans, for the reason that there is no danger of yellow fever fin this city. it's location rendering 1t free from pos siblity of the disease It would only work harm and could do no good
 The Rev. J. H. Mccoy: T believe that the governor was right in putting the state under quarantine. and l do not think Birmingham should be excepted from the order for the state. It is well n talr
