DIR. White today. Their object was to
ask his intercession in the matter Of an
amelioration of the restrictions imposed
| against freight by towns like Lake
Charues, which desires no intercourse with
| New Orleans. Dr. White had just re-
| turned from Mobile, where he laid fully
before the officials there the measures of
! precaution that have been taken to pre-
vent the transmission of mosquitoes in
| freight cars The Alabama officials ex-
pressed themselves as entirely satisfied
with DR.. Whites report and as indisposed
to place any restriction against freight.
The local merchants believe that DIR.

I the smaller communities to a recognition
| of the harmlessness of receiving mer-
chandise from infected points.
