The Patrol Fleet.

Captain Ross, chief of the revenue cutter
service, now at Gulfport, Miss. in COM
mand of the cutters and other vessels
charged with maintaining quarantine
against the districts in Louisiana infected
with yellow fever. has reported to the
Treasury Department as to the disposition
OF the patrol fleet, expressing the belief
that this disposition will make the patrol
effective
The launches and other boats will cruise
anywhere in American waters where their
services may be needed and will cause all
vessels coming from Louisiana TO be noti-
ned that they Will not be permitted to land
anywhere on the gulf coast without their
personnel undergoing the period of deten-
ton after fumigation. All fishing vessels
from Louisiana Will be Inspected and note
made OF the persons on board. If there ap-
pears to be no good reason for OBTAINING
them they will be permitted to fish with the
understanding that they are to report to
one OF the patrol boats upon their return to
LOUISIANA. Fishermen from Mississippf GO
ing mo Louisiana waters will be allowed
10 return to gulf ports if upon examina ton
there appears to be no good reason for de-
tanning them. II addition to the work be-
ing performed py the patrol boats the cut
ter Wlnona visits all stations daily and ac-
lively cruises on the sound on the lookout
for vessels.

CLIMBS TWO DEGREES.
Mercury Indicates Greater Heat Today
Than Prevailed Yesterday.

Although the temperature in Washington
this afternoon only two degrees higher
than 1t was yesterday, according to the
readings of the weather bureau thermome-
tiers, the conditions today could be described
as "sweltering.' This was due TO the con-
tinued high percentage of humidity. In the
forenoon the breezes from the ocean were
humid and warm, and humanity suffered
more than If there had been dry-heat
temperature high up in the nineties.
The weather will continue damp and
showery,' was the prophecy of Prof Henry
this afternoon. The temperature at this
hour Q:%o o'clock is 81 degree, and no
change is Indicated"
Prof enry agreed that when the rain
clouds clear away and the water-soaked
earth is subjected to the direct rays of the
sun, there Is liable to be some overpower-
Ing weather" as the Charles County farmer
expressed 1t.
The downtown temperature at 2 O'Clock
TINS afternoon, as registered at Afiieck's
was given as 81 degrees and slewIy climb
ing.

More Air Brakes Needed.

The interstate commerce commission Is
about to take steps to require all railroads
engaged in interstate commerce to increase
the minimum percentage of air brakes used
on freight trains to as great an extent as
cor ditions of equipment will permit.
The commission has become impressed
with the danger attending the operation Of
freight trains in which insufficient num-
Der of cars are equipped with air brakes
operated by the engineer.
Recent accidents involving loss of life
and property, caused by the ''bucklng" of
freight trains-the rear cars crowdng for
ward upon those in front-when emergency
applications of air have been made on
trains partially air-braked, have demon
strated that such trains are not actually
under the control of the engineer as re-
quired by law. AS the impact which causes
"buckling" Is due to the presence of I'M
braked cars in the rear of the train, it ap-
pears to the commission that such acct
dents may be obviated by requiring a num-
Der of cars in trains greater than the 80
per cent now required by law to have their
brakes operated by the engineer. Increase
in the minimum percentage is authorized by
law. 1t is added that the evident purpose
of the law is to ultimately require the use
of air brakes on all cars Of all freight
trains
