 Makes Tour of City.
 Dr. White made an automobile tour of the city today. He found the work of his force thoroughly systematized and gener- ally efficient. Here and there undesirable people secure employment and complaints follow rapidly, but these men are con stantly being weeded out.

 Dr. Chassaignac returned today rom Talluah He considers that the crisis has passed there and that the fever will now rapidly disappear.
 News from Port Gibson, Miss, today was to the effect that discovery of two genuine cases there had resulted in something of a panic. many people hur- rying into the country and others going north. Port Gibson Is on the Mississippi Valley road and has had most rigid quarantine against infected places.
