ferryboat and. swept by northerly
breeze, communicated with the ferry
house. spread to the main building Of
the Lackawanna and then to the
Dukes House. famous Hoboken hos
telry. The hotel was a frame struc-
ture and was ready prey for the
flames.
Assistance was sent from Jersey
City and New York, the former city
sending all available engines and
equipment and the latter dispatching
two fireboats. With this extra force
the Hoboken firemen were able to pre-
vent the fire from spreading through

OF NEW ORLEANS.
SITUATION SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE
LARGE NUMBER or SUSPICIOUS
CASES OF SICKNESS UNDER
INVESTIGATION.

New Orleans. Aug. 9.-The number
Of new cases and deaths from yellow
fever reported up to noon was small,
but considerable suspicious sickness
was reported. There are now thirty
two cases of this nature under inves-
tigation by the Marine hospital sery-
ice. The campaign In the Crescent
City is progressing favorably under
the federal authorities, the taking
over of control being accomplished
without friction. The weather is clear
and warm.
Two deaths from the fever have
been reported at Shreveport. They
are cases which tried to enter the
city from other points, but were
stopped and sent to the detention hos
pital. There Is no yellow fever In the
city OF Shreveport.
There have been twenty-five new
cases reported In parishes outside of
New Orleans during the past twenty
four hours. Nineteen of these are In
the town of Patterson and are mostly
Italians The three other cases re-
ported are in st. Charles parish, one
Of them being a negro.
The two cases of suspicious sick
ness reported at Bon Ami, La, have
diagnosed as yellow fever. One ter
fatally. On hearing Of these
cases Texas people living along the
Louisiana border requested the gov
ernor of Texas to send militia to the
state line for guard duty, but the gov
ernor declined to comply.
The total number of cases in New
Orleans to date is $50 and total deaths

GENERAL STRIKE limited At
oAlD EMPLOYEES OF HILL ROADS
ARE DISSATISFIED WITH
PRESENT CONDITIONS.

st. Paul, Aug. 81 Suspension of all
traffic operations, in a general strike
of train operators, may result from
conditions which have sprung into ex-
istence from the telegraphers strike
on the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific.
Head officials of the telegraphers'
organization believe that such gen.
eral strike of railway men is In pros
pect and believe that, II 1t comes, the
roads will Immediately agree to terms
asked by the telegraphers in prefer
ence to having general tieup Of their
lines just when the fall crop Is ready
to move The present arrangement
of dispatching trains by telephone
messages, compelling experienced
trainmen to work on orders of ineffi-
cient and inexperienced station agents
and operators and like dangerous
things now existing, are said to be the
reasons for the dissatisfaction among
trainmen.
Despite the above statement of the
strike leader the officials of the roads
insist that the situation is satisfac-
tory. General Manager Porn Of the
Northern Pacific declares traffic con.
ditions on his road are about normal.
1t is reported that the strike has
thus far cost the railroads 3l.000,000.
This is In reduced earnings, as. from
a freight point of view, the movement
has been comparatively small since
the inauguration of the strike.
