THEY'RE STILL CHEERFUL.
Those Optimistic Health Officers of
New Orleans.

New Orleans, Aug. 2.-Today's re-
port of the fever situation showed a
gain in the number of deaths, but the
health authorities confessed to no
alarm for from the fact that in the
past three or four days there has been
sufficient increase in the number of
cases to warrant the expectation of
heavier mortality. High temperatures
succeeded by heavy precipitation and
cooler weather produced climatic con-
ditions also favorable to fatalities.
Practically all of the deaths We're of
Italians and nearly all of them were
either in the emergency hospital or in
the district adjacent thereto. Some of
the victims were unfOrtunates whose
cases were only reported in the last
two days indicating that they were in
q practically moribund condition when
, their illness was discovered.
1t is confidently believed that once
the infection begins to decline in the
section below Canal street, where con-
ditions sanitary and other are more
favorable for the spread of the disease
there will be little difficulty in stamp
ing out the malady which may be un-
der treatment elsewhere. There is no
attempt to conceal the fact that the
extent of the fever shows serious
state of affairs, but there is believed
not to be any justification for the ter
ror which seems to have spread over
the country outside of New Orleans
That the fever continues. as an Ital-
ian infection is shown by the fact that
in the list of forty-two, the Italian
victims number thirty-five. The six
dead were all Italians. In spite of all
that has been done to reassure them,
many of the Italians continue to make
efforts to conceal their cases. They
are still panic stricken and turn in fear
from the doctors and health officers. 1t
was due largely to the energy with
which the marine hospital forces set
about the work of discovering the hid
den cases that Tuesdays record was
made so large. With local inspectors
they ignored former customs and in

report issued by the board of health
tonight on the case of yellow fever at
the detention camp on the outskirts

day because of criticisms in permit
ting the Kansas City Southern to
bring the man suffering with fever

A DESPERATE PRISONER
He Dynamites His Cell and Then
Shoots Himself.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 2.-After dyna-
hitting the county Jail and entirely
wrecking his cell in the hope of being
a BILE TO effect his escape. Jack Ches-
terfield fired six shots at a jailer, who
attempted to restore order in the cell
today and then sent a bullet crashing
into his own brain. The wound it IS
thought will prove fatal
Chesterfield was to have been taken
to the penitentiary this morning to
serve a three years sentence for Grim
inally assaulting a young girl. He
had two revolvers in his hands and
fired at everyone who approached him.
He was completely barricaded and was
able to keep his jailers at bay until
the fire department was called out and
his cell flooded. 1t was not until the
man was standing in two feet Of water
that he gave up and shO. himself.
Game to the last breath, he never left
his feet and was taken leaning against
his cell. though n leaden bah had torn
a hole through his head.
Chesterfield was secretly married in
the Jail three weeks ago. Since then
his wife has been given unboUnded
freedom and It is thought she may
have supplied her husband with what
she thought would be his means of es-
cape. but which has proved to be i'm
plements of self destruction.
Late yesterday the Yale lock on the
mans cell vas found to be so worn
that the door could be swung open
with little more than ordinary pressure.
This was remedied, and ii was not

cape had been planned. Two saws

A CRIPPLED SERVICE
On Some Divisions it Amounts TO a
Tie up-The Railway Officials Say
That the Situation Will be Relieved
in Ten Days.

way officials making every effort to
maintain traffic the telegraphers'
strike on the trans-continental sys-
TENS of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific roads has taken on the as
pect of a war to the finish.
Hundreds of men have gone out on
both lines necesSitating the closing of
scores of stations and an immense
hindrance has been caused in moving
OF trains. Through limited trains and
time freights by great effort have been
kept almost on schedule time, but at
tempts have principally been abandon
ed to main line local freight and pas
senger service. The greatest interfer-
once in schedules had been on the Idaho
division. some of the fast trains being
delayed five hours where the striking
operators had turned the signal boards
or opened the circuits.
Freight matter in less than carload
lost for intermediate points was re
fused at the freight receiving Offices
in St. Paul and Minneapolis during the
day. Large quantities of perishable
freigfj were handled by the express
companies. Payment of express traffic
was almost invariably demanded, ard
toward evening guarantees of delivery
were refused, signed releases being re-
quired.
The railway officials say tonight that
they are we'll satisfied with the situa
tion and that inside of ten days they
will have enough men to fill the places
of the strikers and maintain a normal
service. Bureaus have been establish
ed in the principal cities in the west
where men are hired. Officials say that
the greatest care is being taken in the
selection of men. and that only thor
Oughly competent operators viii be en-
ployed Meanwhile trains are run on

this manner satisfactory time is made
No accidents have occurred so far

been one or two collisions in points in
North Dakota, but these are said al
the railroad offices TO be absolutely
false and spread with malicious intent

piers union, declares that ninety-sev-
out and that they will stay out until
they receive what the union officials
have decided would be a square deal
Mr.. Perham says that ninety per cent
of the men were both station agents
and telegraphers, and where these
went out the stations ore closed in
almost every instance. He states that
a number of train dispatchers. while
not members of the union, went out in
sympathy.

Pardon Unconditional.

An examination Of the records in the
secretary of states Office shows that
VIM. F. Beckman, the aged veteran of
the civil war, who was recently arrest
ed for the alleged breaking of his pa
role, was Internationally pardoned by
Governor Geer, and not upon the condi-
tion that he should leave the state, as
has been alleged. Beckman is an old
man nearly so years of age, and was
sentenced to life imprisonment in the
the penitentiary a number of years ago
for the murder of his wife and step
son near Oakland, Oregon. He alleged
that he did the killing in self.defense.
After he had served seven years of
his term he was pardoned by Governor
Geer and went TO Minnesota, where he
entered the soldiers home. The eli
mate there did not agree with him, so
he was given permission to be transfer
red TO the soldiers home in California.
On his way there he stopped Off in
Portland to visit an old friend for a
short time, and had his ticket for Cal
ifornia in his pocket when arrested.
