Action was taken to-day at a meet
ing OF the State Board of Health to
enable the Federal authorities TO put a
stop 10 indiscriminate travel between
infected points and New Orleans. The
resolution adopted is general in char
acter and authorizes any local health
officers of infected localities to prohibit
the introduction into their communities
or persons acclimated, unacclimated or
said to be immune, when in their judg-
ment such introduction would add TO
or increase the prevalence OF the dlS-
ease. Persons known to reside reg
ularly in an infected locality in Louis
lana are to be admitted into their
homes when they furnish satisfactory
proof of residence.
The yellow fever situation to-day
was regarded as having undergone no
change. DR.. Whites announcement
that If the people will faithfully screen
and disinfect and obey the regulations
which have been made and If all efforts
continued as at present 10 remove cases
promptly it is possible that there Will
be an entire cessation of the Infection

power Mr.. Witte at least tenta-
lively to proceed with the negotiations

word to himself. Should such author

said when he returned to Russia that he
had made bad peace" He might pre-
fer the Emperor to shoulder that re-
sponsibility. But shortly before mid
night Mr.. Witte gave absolutely no en-
coura cement TO the idea that there
would be a change of heart at ST
Petersburg. Unless Toxic was ready
to recede further he expressed the opin-
ion that all was over. He said:
NO MESSAGE RECEIVED.
81 have received no telegram from
ST. Petersburg which changes the sit
uation. Indeed. 1 do not expect any.
have not asked Instructions. so that
cannot receive any. If tomorrow
there is TO be change 1t must come
from the Japanese side"
This would seem to indicate that the
Presidents second effort had failed at
ST. Petersburg. What, III anything, he
has been able to do at Toxic through
his Interview with Baron Kaneko this
afternoon still remains a mystery.
That the last word has not come from
Toxic and that Raron Komura may still
appear in a conciliatory role tomorrow
may possibly be inferred from the fol-
lowing fact:
The time for the sitting of the con-
ference tomorrow was not set when
the adjournment was taken on Wednes-
day This evening Mr.. Witte noti-
fed the japanese mission that he was
ready to meet 1t in the morn
ing at ESQ o'clock. The Jap
anese, after consultation. demurred,
on the ground that the minutes of the
last meeting would not be ready in time.
Therefore, at their request. the meet
ing was set for 8 o'clock in the after
noon Information received at late
hour indicates that President Roose-
veIt's efforts are not exhausted: that he
is still in communication with Toxic
and st. Petersburg. To-morrow's meet
ing consequently is likely not to prove
decisive.
At midnight no message mad reached
Mr. Witte from the President. and
it was regarded as practically certain
that an adjournment would be taken to-
morrow until Monday.
