The rapid progress which is being
made in completing the expulsion OF
yellow fever from New Orleans Is shown
by the fact that the few cases now re-
naming are scattered over small areas
in the lower section OF the city. all the
upper districts and Algiers being prac-
ticalIy clear.
Another exceptionally good report
was made today and SO scant has be-
come the work left to be done by those
In the service OF the Federal authortY
ties that by the end of the present
week almost all Of the employees Will
be dispensed with.
Eleven commissioned officers stiil re-
main here, including DR.. White and the
pharmacists, and at least half OF them
are now simply awaiting orders to re-
turn to their posts.
Frost was reported today in the in
terror of the State and in Arkansas and
Mississippi but the weather at New
Orleans was a great deal warmer with
the prediction of showers tomorrow.
However, II is considered probable that
another and a severer cold wave will
come soon over the South, and this Is
expected to completely open the States
of Alabama and Texas. which still
maintain their guarantees. DR.. Tabor
has promised that with a heavy frost
at Houston all restrictions will be re-
moved and a similar visitation in South
Alabama is counted on to cause the re-
moval of the embargo still maintained
by that section of Alabama. Meantime
travelling theatrical companies here and
coming are suffering because of the ne
cessity of making long jumps to escape
the quarantines of the two States men,
toned.
The lifting of the Calcasieu quaran-
tines has made 1t possible for the South
ern Pacific Railroad to open its line
practically to the Texas border. but ex-
cept with through trains 1t can go no
further. The Texas Pacific Railroad is
in the same plight beyond Shreveport.
Orders today announced the resumption
of the service of the Mobile and Ohio
between New Orleans and st. Louis.
Prof. Rupert Boyce, of the Liverpool
School OF Tropical Medicine, who re-
turned here last night. spent the day in
an automobile ride over New Orleans
with DIR. White and DR.. Warner. Pro-
fessor Boyce repeated the praise of the
Federal authorities and citizens which
he had spoken before his trip to Hon
duras and expressed the belief that II
was entirely with the people or the
South to settle whether they would
have another visitation of the fever.
Dr. Boyce said he hoped that one of the
results of the epidemic would be the
establishment. of a school of tropical
medicine In connection with the Tulane
University along the lines of the Liv-
erpool institution. He said such an in
stitution would be of inestimable value
to New Orleans and the South. DR..
Boyce goes to Washington tomorrow
and thence to Baltimore and New York
before sailing for home.
Tulane University opened today. a
month late owing to the quarantine,
with larger registration than last
year and with many of the States of the
South represented. Newcomb College,
the girls adjunct of Tulane, opens to-
morrow and the Tulane Medical College
on Monday.
1t has been week since the State
Board of Health has been informed of
the appearance of new cases of yellow
fever outside of New Orleans. At al
most every point where the fever here
tofore existed 1t has either entirely
dis appeared or the remaining cases are
rapidly convalescinR.
