LITTLE CHANGE APPARENT IN
YELLOW. FEVER SITUATION
AT NEW ORLEANS.
MUCH DISTRESS AMONG ITALIANS
SUSPENSION OF FRUIT TRAFFIC
CAUSES LOSS OF EMPLOY
MENT FOR MANY.

New Orleans, Aug Little change
Is apparent in the Yellow fever situa-
tion here. A number of new cases
were unofficially reported to the board
of health. The campaign in the inter-
est of cistern screening continues and
hundreds Of gallons of Oil are being
placed in cutters and water recep-
tacles. The large majority of new
cases and deaths continues to be in the
old infected area below Canal street,
only four of the twenty-seven new
cases being above Canal street. The
health authorities, while freely admit
ting the situation to be serious, be-
.lieve that the disease can be con
trolled, the opportunities for new in
fection growing fewer as the area Of
screened cisterns increases.

Much Distress Among italian Resi-
dents of New Orleans.
New Orleans, Aug. 1.-Much dis
tress is beginning to appear among the
Italian population growing out of the
practical expulsion of the fruit busi-
ness from Louisiana on account Of
quarantines and relief work is one of
the tasks which the Italian societies
and citizens committees will now have
to address themselves to. While the
six-day detention order of the board
of health lasts it is expected that all
the lines which have been operating
fruit steamers into New Orleans will
will have the effect of throwing sew
eral thousand laborers, many of them
Italians, out of employment A
A meeting of representative Italians
has been held and permanent organ
ization formed. A campaign Of relief
and of education into the hygienic re-
quirements of the situation has been
decided on. It was also resolved to
follow the advice telegraphed by Am
bassador Mayor des Planches and to
address all Italians in the city verbally
and by circular asking them to pay
ready obedience to the regulations inn
posed by the health authorities.
While the feeling here is constantly
growing more hopeful there is ap-
parently no abatemen9 of the excite
ment and panicky feeling in the coun-
try districts of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi. Local business houses are be-
ginning to feel the effects of the scare.
Quarantines everywhere are being
drawn tighter. Even gasoline is barred
from Vicksburg. A number of the
towns in Louisiana and Mississippi are
cutting themselves off from the world
and the shotgun quarantines are being
extended. Guards and inspectors are
multiplying and making travel increas-
ingly difficult,

SOME DETAILS NOT FULLY SETTLED

PREHENslVE THAN EXIST
i ING CONVENTION.

London, Aug. 1.-Considerable prog
ress is being made with the new An
glo-Japanese treaty of alliance, which
the foreign Office hopes will be con-
cluded at an early date. Some of the
details have not been fully. settled, but
it can definitely be stated that the
terms will be decidedly more compre-
hensive than those governing the
present alliance. The treaty will be
promulgated as soon as completed,
there being a desire on the part Of the
British government to make it's pub
ication dependent on the conclusion
of peace.
AS to the suggestions that Great
Britain should advise Japan to be
lenient the Associated Press learns
that the, British governments pre-
sumption is that it's advice will be
asked by Japan in the course of the
peace negotiations and that it will
then gladly offer what counsel may
seem to it best calculated to assure a
permanent Ieace.

Property.


Kansas City, Aug. IA meeting of
the creditors of Charles J. Devlin, the
former millionaire coal operator, was
held here during the day. There was
no action that the creditors could take
except to hear a report, in part, from
the receivers and to discuss possible
methods of realizing rapidly on the
property.
About the time the receivers were
appointed call for this meeting was
proposed by some of the men who
were anxious to save the property
from being scattered. All three of the
receivers were present at the meet
ing. The three receivers have their
appointments in such shape that the
Kansas receivers are recognized in
Illinois and the Illinois receivers in
Kansas, and, while appointed sep
arately, they really form one board of
receivers.
Most of those attending the meeting
are lawyers, attorneys for banks, trust
companies, brokers or others from
whom Mr.. Devlin borrowed money.

New York, Aug. 1.-The reported
interview with M. Witte, the Russian
peace plenipotentiary, on board the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, published
here during the day, was read at the
headquarters Of the Japanese peace
commission, but no comment or state
ment was made. Mr.. Sato of the COM
mission, who has met all inquiries for
statements during the visit Of the com
mission, said that he did not care to
discuss the matter. He said, however,
that he thought M. Witte was vested
with power equal to that Of Baron Ko-
mura in the matter Of negotiating
treaty of peace.
Mr.. Sato did not understand what
was meant by M. Witte when he said
that it would have been much better
had common basis been agreed on
by Japan and Russia before appoint
ing peace plenipotentiaries He said
that no request was presented by Rus
sia, but that had she asked such a
thing Japan would probably have en-
tertained the question.

Commission Sent Out to Investigate
AlIeqed Frauds.

Washington, Aug. IA picked COM
been sent West by Secretary Hitch
cock to aid in exposing new lines of
graft in three important branches of
the government service. The investi-
gators will examine into certain al
legged frauds in the general land offices
of several states, in the forestry serv-
ice and in the reclamation service.
The commission will go first to
DeadWood, S. D. 1t will spend two or
three weeks in that state and will then
move to other sections where allega-
tions of irregularities have been made.
The commission will inquire into cer-
tain alleged frauds in connection with
the irrigation service. It has been
charged that advance information has
been given to persons concerning areas
to be irrigated by the government,
thus enabling them to take out land
claims within the region to be wa
tered.
Many complaints have lately been
made to Secretary Hitchcock regard
ing trespassing on government forest
reserves. Bold thieves have invaded
the federal forests and cut timber
therefrom.
The commission will also look into
the charge that frauds existing in the
public land service in number Of
states have been overlooked in the
general investigation that has been
made OF these matters in the past
three years.

in the World.
Kenosha, Wis, Aug. Articles Of
incorporation were filed at Madison
during the day for the N. R. Allen Sons
'Tannery company of KenOsha. The
capital stock is $S0O,OOO and the in
corporators are Charles w. Allen, Ma
than R. Allen, Jr., and Edward G..
Theirs.
| It is generally believed that this is
the first step in turning over the big
kenosha tannery, the largest independ-
$ent tannery in the world, to the allied
leather interests.
Ia speaking of the organization of
the new company Nathan Allen stated
tll at the stock in the company would
fer the present be held by G.. w. Allen
ant himself, but that the Central
Leather company would later .(have an
interest in the company He declined
TO state the nature of this interest.
In qualifying his remarks Mr.. Allen
stated that the Central Leather COM
pany, which is a new organization,
now held more than 80 per cent of the
stock of the American Hide and
Leather company and that within the
last few weeks the company has pur-
chased six plants which had formerly
been independent. He did not give a
list of the plants purchased by the
new company.
It's generally believed here that the
deal is a reorganization of the Amer
ican Hyde and Leather company by
which the company will secure control
Of all of the larger independent plants
in the country.
