YELLOW FEVER
NO FEAR THAT IT WILL INVADE
WASHINGTON.

No fears are entertained that yellow fever
will invade Washington. This statement
was voiced both by Commissioner Fl. b. r.
Macfarland and by Health Officer Wood
ward this morning
Both officials said. however, that the
health Office is in state of prepa redness
and ready at a moments notice to isolate
and quarantine any case suspected to be
yellow fever which might reach the city.
and the epidemic in New Orleans has
caused the authorities to exercise redoubled
vigilance. In Philadelphia principally on
account of the large number of fruit carry
ing steamers reaching the port daily from
the south. the health department has erect
ed specially screened tents in the grounds
or the Municipal Hospital, but such pre-
caution here is deemed Unnecessary. In all
the history of Washington there has been
only one case of yellow fever. and that
was of a man who was bitten by mos
quitoes in Nicaragua. passed through the
New York quarantine. and died the day
after his arrival In the capital
With this case as an illustration. Health
Officer Woodward this morning declared
that yellow fever could be carried from
greater distance than New Orleans but be-
cause it has been thoroughly demonstrated
that the disease Is not contagious In the
accepted sense of that term he anticipates
Washington should be stricken with yell
low fever
DR.. Woodward's View.
Commissioner Macfarland declared that it
had been conclusive!y demonstrated that
the so-called yellow fever mosquito had
never been found north of the Seth parallel
OF latitude. This statement was reiterated
by DR.. Woodward, but he qualified 1t to
some extent by stating that the greatest
danger to Washington and other northern
cities lay in the fact that no exhaustive
search had ever been made to determine
whether the dangerous breed OF mosquitoes
were among the number which eke out an
existence in and about the capital
At the same time it is positively known
that yellow fever cannot originate by Itself
and that the only consequent danger to
Washington lies in its being brought here
by refugees. Even then one or more cases
might be brought here, and still the com
munity would be safe. because the disease
cannot be spread unless carried by GER
tain breed of mosquito. 1t has been con-
clusively demonstrated that the mosquitoes
OF commoner clay cannot bear the yellow
fever germ.
Prompt measures would be taken by the
health office to place any yellow fever sus-
pect far from the reach of any pryfng mos
quito's bill DIR. Woodward stating that if a
thoroughly screened inclosure was not i'm
mediately available he would place man
on constant guard by patients side to fan
away all mosquitoes until a screen could
be thrown up.
For the handling of any suspected yellow
fever case, the appropriation for caring for
contagious diseases can be drawn upon at
once, and after that there is an emergency
fund which could be applied to fight the
disease.

Gregory Wiienkn. the financial agent Of

The statement In this mornings papers
to the effect that Mr. Witte is sounding
American fnanciers with a view to the
placing of a new Russian loan In the United
States is wholly without foundation. Mr..
Whites visit to Wall street yesterday was
one of curiosity simply. 1t is quite true
that he had interviews with some leading
fnanciers. and no doubt he will have inter
views with many more
But all of these gentlemen are personal
friends and acquaintance Of Mr.. Witte,
who knew him during his term of Office as
Russian minister of finance, and the calls
were of purely social character and had
no relation whatever to a Russian loan.
Naturally as Mr.. Witte has long made
study of economic questions, it gives him
great pleasure to discuss with the men of
affairs of this country these important
questions with view to learning of the
methods adopted in the United States"

Beveridge's Presidential Aspirations.

There is no sort of question that the Bev-
eridge adherents in Indiana, a potent force
Of enthusiastic. personal followers, are
somewhat cold to the Fairbanks presiden-
tial prospects, and do not care whether he
gets the nomination or not. Privately they
would a little rather see him fall down hard
they believe that would give the control
of the state to Beveridge and insure him
the republican nomination in 1912 or 1916.
They say he is young now. but that he is
gaining ground in the country every day
and will be ripe for his party's nomination
in the course of few years.
There is a feeling that the Root hackers
are perfectly willing for Mr. Fairbanks
support to grow cold. inasmuch as they feel
that If Mr.. Fairbanks cannot hold his own
state the Beveridge people may join them
in supporting the nomination Of the New
York man.
