People Are Exuberant Over
 Progress of Week.
No Startling Increase of Cases in Prov inces, and It. Is Believed that yt pr. White Has Fever I'm
 Check.

New Orleans. Aug. 1s.-Followins is the official record up to p. m. Satur- day: New cases. 5S; total cases to date. 1.34o: deaths. 4; total deaths to date 192; new foci IT: total foci to date. 295; cases under treatment. 401.
 This Saturdays record presents quite contract when compared with that of a week ago, when 1o5 cases were re- ported.
 It has never since reached that figure and 1t is believed now that that record will stand. The deaths continue smal. which indicates that the patients un- der treatment are recovering more nu- merously than heretofore.
 There was no news of special import ance from outside the city today. only two new points of infection being re- ported, one case at Madsonville, in St. Tammany Parish. and the other at Ken ner, in Jefferson Parish. The case at Madisonville is traced directly to New Orleans, the young woman having wis. ited here prior to last Sunday and hay ing been taken i'll Monday.
 Patterson reports seven new cases and no deaths
 No new cases developed at Sarpy fTerre Haute). nor have any new cases been heard from at the other points In St. Charles Parish.
 Dr. Gustin, health officer of Kenner.
 
 nine positive cases at Hanson City, which is three miles above Kenner. They are all Italians but one.
 Dr. Wasdin reports that there have been no new cases at Mississippi City.
 pr. Felix La Rue. who attended the late Archbishop Chapeile, has traced the infection of the Archbishop's residence to gardner, who was sick in the house on July 9, 10 and il, and an investi- gation of his illness leads to the con- clusion that it was yellow fever The man had frequent communication with the originally infected district and went to a house there during his illness.
 Beyond the statement that the dsi&r figures continue to present solid evi- dence that the modern scientific cam paign in progress Is controlling the fever, the authorities in charge of the work here had little comment to make today They find justification for their optimism in the fact that the number of deaths remain low, far below what they had reason to expect a month ago, that there Is no increase of conse- quence in the number of new cases and that the progress of infection Is feeble in the districts above Canal Street where there was opportunity to forti- fly against 1t before 1t could take hold.
 Today's report was gratifying and every subsequent day that is no worse will spell headwayS beyond the most sanguine expectations of the health authorities a few days ago.
 Ten days earlier than this in 1898 the death list had taken its leap and grew rapidly larger until 1t reached climax of ninety fatalities a day in the second half of September. On August IS in that year the number who suc- cumbed in a single day was AT. This year there were only eight on the same day So thoroughly is the disease be- {n the results of prompt and scientific at tention, that there Is supreme conf- dence that September will see the worst over. -~
 Today the suns rays beat fercely. the mercury rose high and there was little breeze stirring. It was hot day following an intensely warm night. But while the weather conditions had tendency to add to the discomfort of patients they had no effect in adding to the list of fatalities. The deaths continue to be largely confined to low CT sections of the city, only three hay ing come from the section above Ca nal within the past fifteen days. Dr. Berry Has Recovered.
 Warm congratulations awaited Dr. T. D. Berry of the Marine Hospital Service when he appeared today at the St. Charles Hotel fully recovered after a siege of about ten days Dr. Berry was stricken while hard at work In the originally infected district. He was taken to the Touro Inflrmary and successfully passed through the three stages of the sickness. He looked somewhat pale today but said that he would probably be able to resume hs duties at the beginning of next week
 Among the cases reported to the State Board of Health today was one near Madisonville. That Is a summer resort of St, Tammany Parish on the other side of Lake Pontchartrain No alarm is felt concerning the case which is expected to terminate fatally or re- cover without spreading the infection. A positive case and a suspicious case were reported at Kenner, ten miles from New Orleans in Jefferson Parish. The Illinois Central and the Missis- sippi Valley trains diverge here in go- ing North. A total of eighteen cases have appeared in Jefferson Parish to date with five deaths.
 Dorraace In New Orleans.
 James French Dorrance, represent ing one of the principal New York newspapers, reached here today with letters to Dr. White and other promi- nent people. He comes to watch the fight as 1t is being conducted by the Marine Hospital Service Mir, Dor rance, after a tour of the city, said he saw no signs of panic here and found the same opinlop prevailing To-
 
 leans people he met before coming here. that the Federal light would be sue cessful
 pr. Corput, who went to sarpy. re- ported today that he had made a house to house inspection of the quarters of the plantation, but so great did he find the secretiveness of the Italians that he was doubtful if he had been able to To- cate all the eases. It was decided to build a small hospital on the plantation and screen it so that all the sick may be treated Dr. Corput Is also to make an investigation of the conditions at La Place and that vicinity.
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad today announced that the new quaran- tine order issued by Dr. Sanders of Ala bama would not fin any wise interfere with through travel over that road. un- der the regulations people can leave New Orleans and pass through the State without molestation provided they make no attempt to leave the cars. The Alabama authorities found that they had been made. the victims of de-
