Deaths, 5.
Total, 423.
New foci, Z.
Cases under treatment. 156.
Cases discharged, 2.721.
The remarkable feature of the Sat
urday report is that only seven of the
new cases are below Canal street, and
eight above, which is the first tine
since the fever started that the pc
ponderance has been uptown. There
have been three cases in Algiers and
one in West End. There are now only
156 cases under treatment and the
number is being rapidly reduced. The
emergency hospital discharges daily
more patients than it receives, the ad
missions being only one or two day.
Following the suggestions of DR..
Souchon and DR. White many of the
parishes have agreed to raise the quar-
antine on October Is. Ten positive
answers have been received and sey-
eral tentative ones, stating that such
action would probably be taken in the
next few days. The opening of Bat,n
Rouge, the state capital, has resulted
in a rush to that town. Hundreds OF
commercial traelers, who have been in
the city for two months, will get out

Waxahachie merchants now frequent
ly in the early fall season go form
Galveston to New York to buy their
goods. The Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company many years ago, fore
seeing the great port Galveston was
destined to make, began buying up
lots fronting on the Galveston bay
and now they own nearly or quite
a mile of this bay front. They have
immense warehouses and machinery
for loading and unloading vessels
and cars. One English vessel recent
ly loaded on 23,050 bales of cotton
and steamed out with it for Manches-
ter, England. These vessels have
screws so arranged that when they
get a layer of compressed cotton on
one of the decks of the boat they can
press it down so closely there will
not be an inch of vacant space. The
marks on the outside of the vessels
insurance companies who take the
risk on these vessels make chain
and when they are loaded till they
sink down in the water with their
burdens TO these marks they must
stop loading or else their insurance
is no good. When these vessels go
out Or come in heavily loaded there
is as much of them under the water
as there is above Some of them
draw and sink into the water with
Their loads as much as thirty feet.
An immense big vessel came in from
Bremen, Germany, while was there.
She was loaded with COO immigrants
consisting of Bohemians. Germans
and Russians, and il was a sight
indeed to see them march off the
boat in their native clothes and their
beds and baggage done up in pecu-
liar looking boxes and bundles. as
only these strange people know how
10 do il. Then some of them hardly
looked like human beings. and one
rasCallE fellow from Houston played
Ia mean trick on quite number OF
them He agreed if they would go
with him to Houston to give them
employment at $500 per day, and
when he got them up there persuad-
ed most of them to give him 50 90
each and then abandoned them. They
were then brought back to Galveston
and homes will be found for them
somewhere in Southwest Texas. !
