CAUSES NO
 UNEASINESS New Orleans Fever Takes
 a Jump. THING TO BE EXPECTED Pest is Unquestionably Under Control. Only Two Suspicious Cases in Last Re- port and Today's Record Will
 Probably Be Very
 Low One.


 cored to 6 p. m.. Friday was as fol- lows: N
 New cases 25; total cases to date, 3.2s6; deaths, 4; total deaths to date, 423: new foci, 6; cases under treat ment. 1S7: cases discharged, 2,s6s6.
 The jump to twenty-five new cases was something of surprise, but It has caused no uneasiness, because the experience of all past visitation of the fever is that towards the end there is always a radical variation in the reports from day to day. The report for Saturday is just as likely as not to be extremely low. The indications point that way, as there were only two cases of suspicious fever reported to- day.
 Of the new cases, six were above Ca- nal street. Algiers reported one case and one death. The other three deaths were down town also. Of the deaths two were girls of fifteen: one boy of eleven and one young woman of twenty-one.
 T. K. Trigg. the marine hospital fu- migator, who was sent to Rosetta and contracted the fever there, was admit ted to the Emergency Hospital here today in conyalescing condition. The two other people from Rosetta who were in detention in the hospital were discharged today.
 Surgeon Corput, who went to Pat terson to look into conditions there. returned today and reports that there is little hope of stamping out the fever there, because of the lack of co-opcra- ton on the part of the people, He says the true conditions there have never been made known.
 The country reports were as follows: Lake Providence. and vicinity, , new case: Patterson, new cases, deaths; Donaidsonville 1 new case; Amelia and Bayou LOurse, new cases; Union Plantation. Iberville Parish, case; Kenner, 4 new cases.
 The reports from Mississippi were as follows: vicksburg, new cases; Natchez, new cases; Gulfport. new cases; Port Gibson, 2 new cases.
 Increase Not Alarming.
 The fact that today presented the largest number of new cases and deaths of the week for New Orleans was dis missed by the federal authorities as without any special significance the possibility of fuctuation from the steady decline of the fever having been duly discounted when 1t was decided to suspend further disinfection by the marine hospital service. Dr. White considers the fever to be absolutely in hand and points to the weekly lists as the surest indication of the progress That is being made. The current week will make the finest showing since the lever started As to deaths. it has always been be- lieved, based on the experience of previ- ous epidemics. that violent changes in she temperature, such as have come this week, would be followed by some in crease in the death rate and today's deaths are attributed to the sudden alteration from an exceedingly high to low temperature. The federal au- :horities see no reason for changing their opinion that the fever is disap. bearing and that there will be none or if loft by 10 end Of the month,
 The weather grew somewhat warmer today, the mercury recording rise of about 12 degrees over the temperatures of yesterday morning and the weather forecast is for cloudiness and the probability of showers tomorrow. The rise has beenl general over the State. Nevertheless the frost distribution was so widespread that sentiment is con stantly growing in favor of a general lifting of ouarantines, many parishes being willing to be guided by what their neighbors will do. From Missis- sippi comes the news that If conditions continue to improve and there Is a further promise of cooler weather prac- tically all the bars will be removed by the 2Oth In the rural districts of that State, as in the towns. people are anxious to have all obstacles to the marketing of the crops removed and to the resumption of business in general,

 pr. White returned today from Mobile, where he talked over conditions with the health officers there As q result of the conference all south bound trains will now be permitted to pass through Mobile without relay.
 Taking no Chances.
 The arrangements as to northbound trains were not completed, but pr. White thinks that all restrictions will be taken off by the middle of next week. so that passengers will be able to enter the cars here and go to their destinations without interruption. Dr White said he found the Alabama of- f1cials anxious to do all in their power to relieve the existing situation, but unwilling to take any chances until all danger was passed. Dr. White has decided to go to Jackson to talk over the Mississippi situation with Dr Hunter and Governor Vardaman.

Shuckers are arriving also or the gulf coast and with restrictions be ing daily frightened the oyster factorie. in both Louisiana and Mississippi vii soon be running at their full capacity
 Sugar grinding in Louisiana started yesterday in East Baton Rouge Parish From now on the sugar mills will be gin work throughout the sugar district There are still slight Instructions |, the movement of labor into the sugal fields and hundreds have gone into them during the past few days. 4 shortage still exists in practically every parish but with the forces being con stantly added to it is expected that nc injury to the crops will result from tn, want of labor to handle 1t.
