 submit to regulations which Will make impossible the introduction or ieVer' IL Is almost universally the opinion that im- nortant as this trade has developed to he if is not sufficiently profitable for the city to run again the risk of recurrence of the present experience which, viewed from the most optimistic side, Will ulu- mately cost many times the value or one seasons fruit business. It is also consld- cred probable that public sentiment m Alabama and Mississippi will require MO bil to take such precautions in the mat ter of detention that the trult cohipaIies will eventually find themselves forced to submit to the same regulations in all the southern ports. The fact that the regula- tions here have not been sufficiently se- were is shown by the fact that among the cases now under treatment is that or the engineer of the steamer Orlgen, who was i'll with the fever when his ship landed last week. He had contracted the dls- ease in Central America but it did not be- come fully developed ease of yellow fever until after he had been removed to his residence.
 Will Stop Track Work.
 The appearance of the present sickness is expected to retard the elaborate plans in process of formulation by the Crescent City Jocl<ney club for the reconstruction of its track. The plans contemplated a thoroughly modern grand stand and all the other accessories of a perfect plant, but architects and others who were due here to take up the work are reluctant to come at this time. It Is not anticipated that the fever will cause any postpone ment of the opening of the regular winter racing season.
 f,, lat of t1C- ing flags have decided to post small cards on houses where fever exists. The cards bear the information This house has yel- low fever" The authorities, while giv- ing daily the humber of cases and deaths and keeping record of names and loca- tions accessible to the public, have not decided to publish these reports. However there has been some public demand for designation of each focus so that the peo- ple generally might be warned and take the usual precaution against exposing themselves unnecessarily to the infection.
 Exclude All New Orleans Freight.
 That sanity in the country districts with respect to quarantines is not increasing is evidenced today by dispatch from Port Gibson, Miss on the Mississippi Valley road which announces that the town council there today met in special session and passed a resolution excluding all freight from New Orleans. Other towns have taken similar action and bus mess men here are apprehensive that the quarantine infection will spread and that there will be continued contraction of the districts into which New Orleans may sell its goods. Meanwhile the declaration of quarantine by the state of Louisiana against the city of New Orleans has open ed practically the whole of the state to the commercial enterprise of Texas and other states which are expected to in- wade territory heretofore exclusively con- trolled by New Orleans merchants.
 The marine hospita. authorities have not yet been able to arrafNe for de- tention camp on the Louisville and Nash vile at the Mississippi state line. Since they were driven away from Waveland, the federal surgeons have been trying to locate a camp at Dunbar station. but efforts in that direction have not been successful. In the meantime, 1t is not at all certain that Louisanians caught by the quarantine, and who went into the detention camps in order to get to their homes in the country will be out of trou- ble when their period of detention is up. Some of the parishes are reluctant to receive people from New Orleans even after they have undergone five days
