CHINESE BOYCOTT
 IS HERE TO STAY
SENATOR M'LAURlN THINKS IT IS NOW UP TO THE COMMERCIAL BODIES OF THE COUNTRY TO ACT.

Washington. August (Special)-The state department has abandoned all nope of bringing about through governmental agencies a satisfactory conclusion to the Chinese boycott of American goods. For mer Senator McLaurin of South Carolina saw Assistant Secretary Loomis today and bears from him letter virtually an- nouncing that the government has done everything in it's power to arrange mat ters but without success.
 The assistant secretary suggests that one or two Americans be appointed to go to China and personally lay the matter before the Chinese business men.
 .sThe government has done all it can in that matter" said MT. McLaurin to- day, "and the President has also done everything in his power. We cannot make Chinese buy goods. It Is up to the com mercial bodies of the United States to appear directly to the commercial bodies of China. Really about the only course left seems the modification of the laws regarding Chinese immigration. The pres ent situation is not at all surprising. MT. Wu, when minister to the United States, told me that just such a condition would exist within few years, and upon the strength of his statement I made a speech in the Senate against the Chinese exclusion law"
 MT McLaurin has been mentioned as a member of the commission to visit China and look into the situation.

 Dr. Whites appeals to the physicians had a marked effect today. The num- Der of doctors who visited the marine hospital offices to make reports of cases was larger than at any time since the fever has made It's appearance. Hereto fore there has been among many fami- lies dread of reporting cases because of fear of resulting inconvenience and damage. There was lack of confidence in some of the men who had managed to gain employment with the health au- thorities and householders have feared that their efforts might suffer serious fm- pairment from reckless disnfection.
 Among the ignorant there has been notion also at law existed making q fixed fee for doctors in the treatment or yellow fever cases. The marine hospital service, however has made so good an impression with the manner in which 1t is doing it's work of disinfection that confidence is being invited and the false impressions among the uneducated classes as to the expense and risk of reporting cases is being entirely removed.

NO BANANAS CAN BE
 SHIPPED FROM NEW ORLEANS

Surgeon White has received instruc- tions from Surgeon General Wyman not to allow any bananas to be shipped out of New Orleans to any point. It was believed yesterday that the restriction applied only to localities in the south, but positive information was had today that 1t means an absolute stifling of the New Orleans fruit trade. The ground for this order Is that mosquitoes may get into the banana cars which cannot be fum- gated There were several conferences on this subject today between Dr. White. pr. Souchon and agents of fruit vessels. but they did not result in any modification of the order.

NEW CASES UNEARTHED
 BY RENEWED ExERTIoNs.

New Orleans, August 12.-The exertions of the inspectors of the marine hospital service in conjunction with the volun- tary reports of physicians produced an- other large aggregation of new cases all classed yellow fever. today.
 The public however, having reconciled itself to the expectation of heavy list for some days to come was undismayed by the report and the health authorities saw no occasion for concern over the showing Both lay and scientific opinion still considers the situation hopeful. It Is admitted that not all the cases em- braced in the daily totals of the authori- ties are actually yellow fever. Even at the emergency hospital to which the worst cases go, numbers of them have been finally diagnosed as malaria or q form of typhoid.
 In various parts of the city cases de- scribed in the first reports as yellow fever have been thoroughly screened and otherwise prevented from spreading in- lection only to resolve themselves into some other type of fever. All suspicious cases. whatever their nature. are turned in by inspectors and doctors and go at once into the yellow fever list and there is no correction of the total If careful diagnosis subsequently, shows to be oth- CT than the prevailing fever.

A Monster Dam In Wyominu.

Guy Mitchell in his last letter on irri-
cation matters speaks as follows Of the
big dam proposition now being under
taken by the government in Wyoming.
IA quarter Of a century ago the home
OF the buffalo, and later a cattle and
sheep pasture, with an occasional ranch
house, the Big Horn Basin in Wyoming
is now the scene Of a great activity in
cident to the building of one OF the
largest Of the government irrigation
works. Some Years ago Colonel Cody,
better known as Buffalo Bill, made a
survey OF the Shoshine CANYON and in
connection with General Miles projec-
ted a company to construct a dam and
irrigate some 10000 acres. The neces-
sary capital, however, was not torthcom-
ing and when the national irrigation law
was passed, the government took up the
proposition and a large party OF engi-
neers has since been employed on the
preliminaries of Il great work of desert
reclamation.
The Shoshine river dashes down a
narrow canyon. with Jagged and perpen-
dicular walls, and at its narrowest point
the government has begun the. construc-
ton Of the highest dam ever built. 1t
will cement together the two canyon
walls for $40 feet above the stream bed
,o1 tic foun1.t;op will on below tho
water line SO feet additional, down to
the solid bed rock. The stream, where
it passes between these granite canyon
walls. is but 65 feet wide and the dam
will form a great lake Of 5000 acres,
with a water shed Of 1880 square miles,
and storing enough water to irrigate
10000 acres through seven miles of ID
foot tunnels bored in solid rock"
