New Orleans, Oct 22--Oficial report to 6 ?. m., Sunday:
 New cases. :. ...... .... ... 2 Total cases to date.... .... ....3,3si Deatns. .... ... .... % Total deaths to date.... .... .... 435 rVw ioct....t. .... .... .... .... Cases under treatment. .... ... T3 Cases discharged. ...... ....a,ss3
 While this was the fifth consecutive day on which no deaths were reported, which In itself was a cause for much general satisfaction, the most gratify- ing information came in the shape of telegram from the State Health Offi- cer of Mississippi that at D. m., Mon day all Mississippi quarantines would be raised.
 Another source of congratulation was a telegram from pr. Tabor, of Texas. to Dr. White to the effect that Texas would admit people from Louisiana who would make an affidavit that they had not been near the infected point for six days previously. It is believed that the Texas restrictions will be en- tirely removed in a short time and that Alabama will also remove all re- strictions in a short time.
 The removal of the Mississippi quar- antine is the cause of the greatest satisfaction because of the close re- lations between this city and the gulf coast. which is regarded as practical ly a suburb of New Orleans.
 There were no reports of new cases or deaths from the country parishes today. Those places which did report had no new cases.
 The Mississippi reports were:
 Vicksburg, new cases, one death; Natchez. ! new cases; Port Gibson. one new case.

MONTGOMERY FARMERS
 TO MARCH WITH ROOSEVELT I

His passage through the city will Y marked by the screaming of whfstX i. but there will be no formalities. fs doubtful if curious persons who s " go to the station win even gfS' a glimpse of the President.
 The train of the President willS rob ably lie in the car shed tonighS ghen it returns to Montgomery an3 every safeguard will be thrown aro,s 1t.
 The especially low ticket tes to Montgomery from points in MA 4le Ala bama will be put on sale thi- torning. and the visitors will begin to arrive in Montgomery this afternoon and to- night. 1t is expected that when the President comes into Montgomery to- morrow at noon that fully 10000 vis- itors will be on hand to join the people of Montgomery in welcoming him.
 The route of the parade In honor of the President will be through Com merce Street and Dexter Avenue to the State Capitol. where the exercises will take place. Returning to the station. the parade will move through Bain- bridge. Washington, Perry. South. Court and Commerce Streets.
 Senator Pettus Coming.
 Senator Pettus has accepted the in- vitation of the Montgomery Committee to participate in the welcome to the President. and he will, of course. be given a place of honor. He will prob ably come to Montgomery from his home in Selma tonight
 The committee has been disappointed in securing low rates from the rail- roads for the military companies of Middle Alabama, which desired to come to Montgomery to march in the parade. It is thought, however, that several of the companies will come anyhow. At all events, the two infantry companies of Montgomery, the troop of cavalry and the Montgomery Field Artillery, will be in the parade.
 The platform at the State Capitol. where the exercises are to take place. will be cleared of all persons except those who have been designated to have seats on 1t, and a platoon of po- lice will be present to execute the or ders of the committee.
 The north half of the Capitol lawn has been reserved for white people, and the south half of the lawn for negroes. The division will be plainly marked and the committee hopes that every one in the vast throng of people will be able. by following the regulations laid down. to sec and hear the Presi- dent.
 Everything in connection with the Presidents visit Is now complete ex- cept the decorations. and they will be pushed today. By nightfall 1t Is ex- pected that every business house and residence on the line of march Will pc buried in flags and bunting.

 preGnable to Naval Attack.
 Brussels, Oct. 22.--The autumn ses- sion of Parliament, which opened Wed- nesday last, promises to be an event. fui one.
 The question of fortifying Antwerp and making that city practically im- pregnabie against a naval attack iE the first important matter to be con- sidered. The plan of the Government for a new advanced line of fortifca- tions will entail an expenditure of 32f,- 6O0,000, and in conjunction with the building of these Notifications, 1t is proposed to enlarge the Antwerp docks to about twice their present size. The Government bill probably will pass. notwithstanding the opposition to the heavy expense involved.
 The question of the definite status of the Congo independent State also will be considered The impression prevails in diplomatic circles that the of Great Britain and Ger many wish to terminate the reign of King Leopold as absolute sovereign of the Congo Independent State and to oblise Belgium to definitely annex the State. It Is probable that if asked to take final action. both Houses of Par liament will give substantial majorf- ties to the annexation to the Congo aB an integral part of the Kingdom of Belgium.

 Washington, Oct. 22.---In his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, the superintendent of the Arkansas Hot Springs reservation recommends direct government control Of the springs there. He says:
 'Experience has demonstrated that the present system of operating the baths through the medium of private lessees is in conflict with public opinion and incompatible with local conditions. and the government should as soon as practicable. consistent with legisiative conditions. assume absolute and com plste control of this reservation, and operate the bathing interests under government supervision and control. thereby eliminating the spirit of com merciaiisn. which is manifest under present conditions, and thfough scten- tific equipment. perfection of system. order. discipline and intelligent direc- tion. extend the benefits to be derived from the healing waters. with rates adjusted to cover prudent operating ex- penses and necessary improvements.
 The present system. If 1t ever had any meritorious features worthy of consideration, has outlived it's useful- ness. and should be supplanted by full government control in the management, operation and supervision of the baths"
