Relative TO the reported interview
OF a female reporter for a Boston pa.

 New York, July 24.-District Attorney Jerome returned from his summer home at Lakeville to-day and immediately began his promised investigation of the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society.

The syndicate agreement was one the terms of which would have at any time been produced for the inspection of the superintendent of insurance. The Equitable Life Assurance society was not a party to the said agreement, and had not been at any time.

MAYOR OF NEW ORLEANS
 ISSUES A PROCLAMATION
PEOPLE URGED TO HEED AD-
 VICE OF HEALTH OFFICIALS.

Necessity of Screening Houses and
 Placing Nets Over All Water Likely
 to Breed Mosquitoes Which Carry
 Yellow Fever Germs-Seventeen Cases
 Thus Far, Six of Which Have Preved
 FataI-Mississippi PrOclaims Quaran-
 tine Against Whole State of Louisi-
 ana--Detention Camps.
 New Orleans, July 24.-Mayor Behr- man, in view of the presence of yellow fever in New Orleans, issued a procla- nation tonight to the people of New Orleans urging them to heed the advice of the health authorities relative to the sanitation of their premises, and call ing special attention to the necessity of screening houses and placing nets over all water which might breed mos quitoes. This proclamation was also signed by the president of the state board of health, by the president of the 
 the marine hospital service, and by the advisory committee of the New Orleans Parish Medical society. ., .... ..s At a meeting of the state board of health to-day 1t was decided, in re- sponse to the numerous requests for information from the parish health off, cers, to prepare and send out a detailed statement of the situation. This will include an official statement that up to date there have been seventeen cases of fever in New Orleans and six deaths from yellow fever. The quarantine reg ulations suggested by the meeting of citizens, requiring six days detention for all vessels from ports subject to yell low fever, were adopted after a heated discussion. Notification was received at noon from Dr. Hunter, of the Mississippi
 board that he had proclaimed quaran- | tine against the whole state of Louisi- ana, because Louisiana had not quar- antined against New Orleans. This question was discussed and it was de- cided not to quarantine the state against the city.
 Surgeon White is perfecting arrange nents for tfie establishment of deten- ltion camps for the different railroads. Lieutenant- Colonel Maus, U. $. A., came to-day to investigate the situa- ttion at Jackson barracks. He found no leases of illness and recommended lagainst removing the troops at the present time. H urged, however, that
 the men be kept within the grounds.

Has Twin Centerboards.

Manchester, Mass, July 24.-The yacht Manchester was designed by E. A. Boardman of Boston, who sailed her in the races against the Alexandra. She was built this season by David Fenton of this town for A. Henry Higginson of Boston, and summer resident here. MT, Higgtnson sold the craft to Dr. J. L. Bremen of Boston, after the latter's Tunipoo, another aspirant for chalIeng- ing honors had been defeated in the trial races.
 The Manchester is a modification of the scow type, with a square stern, but pointed bow. The yacht, however, has an innovation, being equipped with twin centerboards, and much of her success is attributed to sliding keels, by local yachtsmen.
 The Manchester is 40 feet over all, 26 feet on the water line and 8 feet 4 inches in beam. She draws but ten inches of water, but her centerboards drop to depth of four feet inches. The yacht has also twin rudders. Her sail area is 800 feet, her main mast from reck to truck being 27 feet 6 inches, the main boom 26 feet 2 inches, and the gaff 12 feet inches. The yacht is constructed of half inch cedar on an oak frame.
 The Manchester Yacht club has made several previous attempts to capture the Seawanhaka cup.

CARTER NOT TO RESIGN.
Will Remain Governor of Hawaii on
 Advice of Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 24.-A consid- eration of Hawaiian affairs occupied President Roosevelt's attention for sev- eral hours to-day. He had as guest at luncheon and during the greater part of the afternoon George R. Carter, the governor of Hawaii. Governor Garter came to Oyster Bay determined to resign his official position to escape the annoyance to which he has been subjected since he succeeded Sanford B. Dole as governor. The president not only declined to accept his resigna- tion, but told him to go back to Hono- lulu and he should have the full SUD- port and sympathy of the national ad- ministration.
 Governor Carter was in a much hap pier frame of mind after his interview with the president than he had been before. He will take a needed vacation before returning to Hawaii, probably remaining in this country for several weeks. When he returns to Honolulu it will be to resume his official duties with new confidence and vigor.

SHIPPERS DARING TINS RACE.
Finish of the Power Boat Contest With
 TaIisnlan in Lend.

Marblehead, Mass, July 24.-After a daring run along 2SS miles of the New England coast, in unusually tempestl- ous conditions for midsummer, the 2S- foot motor launch Talisman, owned by William Saville of Boston, and built in that city, won to-day the Knickerbock- CT Yacht clubs long distance power boat race from New York to this port. Battered by heavy seats for nearly twenty-four hours with her seams started and her wet and hungry crew pumping vigorously the Talisman, the smallest of the fleet of twelve, which started in the contest at noon Saturday, struggled into this harbor shortly after ! g o'clock this morning and crossed the finish line off the Eastern Yacht club at i9:24:56, the winner of the $250 silver cup.
 l Later this afternoon another Boston boat, the Blink, owned by c. w. Easter brook and the largest boat of the fleet, came into the harbor, finishing at 15:27:10. |.","ar ..-
 About two hours later the Aquilla, owned by A. H. Chase of Providence, and the Glissando, owned by F. L. An drews of Fall River, finished, the former being four seconds in the lead.
 As both the Blink and the Aquilla allowed the Glissando considerable time, the last named yacht won the second prize for the contest, a bronze cup.
 The victory of the Talisman was un-
 doubtedly due to the fearlessness of her skipper, who did not hesitate to send his boat through terrific seas all the
 way from Point Judith to this port,

CHINA NOT PROMPTED.
Her Attitude Regarding Peace Confer

Amherst, Mass, July 24,-That China, in communicating to the powers her un- willingness to recognize any arrange ment regarding Manchuria about which she had not previously been consulted, acted entirely on her own initiative, is the emphatic statement of Sir Chen tung Liang Cheng,. the Chinese minis ter who is spending the summer here where he went to school twenty-five years ago. .. -
 The note just made public by the Washington government . declared the minister, twas addressed by my gov ernment first to the belligerents and later to the neutral powers. Previous to this my government had sounded it's governors and viceroys and ministers abroad regarding various phases of the Manchurian question and the notifica- tion to the powers that we would not recognize any arrangement. regarding the Chinese province of Manchuria about which we had not been consulted before hand, was not prompted or even suggested, so far as I am aware by any other government, but emanated directly from the Pekin government, which acted in this matter entirely on its own initiative

BODY OF PAUL JONES LANDED.
Temporarily Placed in m Unpreten- tious Vault.

Annapolis, July 24. The body Of John Paul Jones is now in the posses sion of the United States To-day 1t rests on American soil housed tempora- rily in an unpretentious vault in the center of the grounds of the Naval academy and near the unfinished chapel in whose crypt later it is to find repose.
 In contrast to the days of the Bon honlme Richard, a fleet of modern war ships stood guard to-day as the last sea voyage of the century dead fighter came to an end. He was put ashore with the honors of an admiral and entombed with that simplicity in which a respetbt- ing republic shows it's deepest feeling. To-day the memory of his deeds found voice in the boom of the minute guns. The lavish of oratory and the splsn-. dor of ponp are reserved for the time when his dust is to make sacred the. splendid naval abbey now being erected.
