THE DEAD ARCHBISHOP.
The Funeral Will Take Place tomorrow
 Privately.

New Orleans, Aug. 10.-In order that no unnecessary risks might be taken it was announced today by Surgeon White and by Father Scotti in charge of the arrangements, that the funeral of the late Archbishop Chapene on Saturday. at o'clock in the morning. will be private. pr. White said it was a fact accepted by the scientists that yellow fever could not be transmitted by a corpse, but it is considered that there would be some element of danger in attracting to the cathedral an inn mense assemblage of people from all sections of the city
 The cathedral is located within the originally infected district within a stones throw of the French market and there has been fever on all sides of it. Today solemn requiem mass was said in honor of the dead archbishop. The services lasted for two hours with a large attendance. of people residing on the lower side of the Canal street. Thirty priests participated and the church was profuseIy decorated in white, black and purple The body rested on a bier in the main aisle and it was found that the remains were sufficiently preserved to permit the re- noval of the metallic covering. Many
  After the services were ended and the congregation was dismissed, further visits to the church were discouraged. During the day, Cardinal Gibbons tele- graphed his cOndolence. Many mes sagess came from all parts of the Unit ed States and from all parts of the world.
 With the death rate remaining lower thar. in previous visitations of the fe- yer, the feeling here both among the health authorities and laity continues hopeful. The fever has been prevail ent long enough to have assumed quite virulent type, but instead it is apparently less so, than it was when it first appeared. Many of the cases which are now being reported except among Italians are mild in character and readily respond to the treatment given them.
 pr, White said today that while the work of a thorough organization of his forces is rapidly crystallizing he will not be able to make an announcement of the details of the campaign until Sunday. One of the details of the plan will, it is understood be an inspection, not only of every house, but of every room in the city. In connection with his work Dr. White took the occasion to- day to say that he had had less inter ference from politicians in New Or leans than he had ever met with before. He had talked over the situation with Mayor Behrman and the mayor had as sured him that he could count on hav- ing a perfectly free hand while he was here.
 One of the curious incidents of the day was a strike of the employees of the citizens sanitary department. It occurred in the thirteenth ward. Here tofore, there have been as many men applying for jobs as could be taken care of. They were glad to work for $15O per day. The thirteenth ward force, however, believed it saw an op- portunity to obtain a raise" They struck for $2.OO. The citizens com mittee refused to pay more and new force was engaged. The city council at it's meeting today authorized Mayor Behrman to borrow $6O,0OO from fiscal agents to assist in meeting the present emergency Ten thousand dollars is to be used in carrying on the street clean ing work, in which the city is engaged and the other S50,000 is to go to the fund asked by the government Though not quite $25O0OO has been raised, all money is available that can be used by pr. White and his force for six weeks.
