RADICAL QUARAHTINF,_ REGULATIONS RAILROAD TRAFFIC SERIOUSLY INTERRUPTED BY MEAS- URES IN FORCE, New Orleans, Aug. 5—The report to the board of health of four deaths and seventeen new cases of yellow fever in this city up to noon seemed to presage a considerable increase over the previous day’s fport, which stands as the record mark for twenty- four hours during the present invasion of the plague. In the natural order of things the deaths must increase with such a large number of new cases and a large death list is therefore but a seguence, the reports of new cases being the indicator of the progress of the disease. No reports of new cases or deaths anywhere in the South outside of New Orleans have been received and the assertion seems warranted that the authorities in these widely scattered localities outside of New Orleans which have found sporadic cases have the situation well in hand. Qutside of the fever itself the con- ditions brought about by the strict quarantines are serious and are felt in every line of commercial life. The railrcads are badly handicapped and in many instances are.unable to move passengers, the mails or freight. The Southern Pacific railroad has its en- tire service on the main line digcon- tinued because one parish in Louis- iana refused to permit trains of any kind to pass through, night or day. Train service on the Louisville and Nashville and other railroads is also disturbed. Though the armed forces of Missis- sippi and Louisiana have been in sanguinary collision have reached here from the Rigolets. The situa- tion is not regarded as acute. RAILROAD TRAFFIC STOPPED. Extreme Measures Taken to Guard Against Yellow Fever. New Orleans, Aug. \5.—Exu'eme measures which some of the country districts are taking to guard them- gelves from yellow fever threatens to put a stop to train service and may bring the federal government into the fever situation in the South. The ('most radical action thus far taken is that of the police jury of Calcasieu, the second largest parish in the state. It has passed resolutions ordering that all traffic, travel and intercourse between Calcasieu and points east, north and west shall cease at once and that no one shall be permitted to enter the limits of the parish until further orders. In consequence of this resolution the Southern Pacific has been ordered to run no’ more trains through Calcasieu, which means an abandonment of the through serv- ice of the line to the West. The Wat- kins trains and the Kansas City Southern trains have also been stopped. It is understood that the quarantine in a day or two will be,ex- tended to all freight trains. fect of the orders is to stop all mail service into or through Calcasieu. Radical Precautions General. Rapidas has shut her doors to everything except mail and fuel oil. At Mermenteau, La., shots were ex- changed between guards and a mnegro who was trying to run the quarantine. Grant parish has instituted a shotgun quarantine, stopped all trains and shut herself off completely from mail service. Lafiyette, La., has issued or- {ders that only mail and disinfected freight shall come into that parish. Tensas parish has guaramined all i passengefs, baggage, household goods, | fruit and fabrics. Precautions as rad- jical as these have been taken in nany j other sections of the South and there is apparently as great a panic now the bulk of the country laymen refts- | ing to put their faith in the mosguito theory. Although the report of fifty-four new cases in the preceding twenty- four hours would ordinarily have a { tendency to cause alarm here people find assurance in the analysis of the detailed report made by the board of health. It is shown that of the fifty- ‘four new cases twenty-nine were root- ed out of conccalment by Surgeon Richardson of the Marine hospital service and his assistants. The area of infection is increasing below Canal street, but the disease is making fee- ble progress above. touch for twelve hours no reports of a. ALLEGED SWINDLER CAUGHT. 3 Larger Cities, Chicago, Aug. 5.—Charged with swindling merchants in twenty-one of the larger cities of the country out of thousands of dollars Norman E. Rob- erts, alleged money order raiser and forger, has been arrested at a sub- postal station. Roberts said he was a salesman un- til a few months ago. He is twenty- seven years old and comes from New York, but has a wife living in Balti- more. Roberts’ method has not differed from that of several other swindlers, in¢luding one woman, who have been sent to the penitentiary from Chicago within the last three years. The forger buys a money order at a sub-station, usually for 25 cents and payable to some other person. Then all the writing is erased with chem- icals and the blanks are filled out for any dmount under $100. In Chicago the signature of Postmaster Coyne was forged. The raised ordér then is offez~d by the swindler to some busines®ouse in exchange for a small purchase and the remainder, which the forger re- ceives, represents the amount of his | dishonest gain, Thugs Rob Des Moines Man. Des Moines, Aug. 5—Two negroes walked into the office of S. T. Rob- erts, a prominent contractor, in the heart of the business district, pound- ed Roberts into insensibility and then made their escape with $500 in cash and $300 worth of valuable notes. There is no clew to the robbers. Land Offices Discontinued. Washington, Aug. 5—By executive order the president has discontinued the land offices at Mau Claire and Ashland, Wis. The business of the two offices will be transferred to the land office at Wausau, Wis. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT OF VICTORY 5\ RAILROAD OFFICIALS DECLARE| I PORTED IN TOUCH. CONDITIONS ARE STEAD- ILY IMPROVING. St. Paul, Aug. 5—Thé fourth day of the strike of telegraphers on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads opened with hoth sides claiming victory. Traffic, however, showed the effects of the strike more than on previous days and some advantage seems to lie with the strikers. The Northern Pacific coast train No. 4, due ‘at 7:40 a. m, was annulled and is being run as No. 2, the coast train due in the afternoon. This train is the first to show the effects of the slow hand car piloting through the Montana mountains. The telegraphers also claim freight traffic is at a stand- still. President Perham of the Order of Railway Telegraphers says the out- look is improving every hour. His reports show that passenger trains on the lines are generally from seven to fourteen hours late and that freight traffic is practically paralyzed. The strike is also beginning to ham- per business along the lines of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern. ‘Word has been received that the plan- ing mill of the Pine Tree Lumber company at Little Falls, Minn., had shut down because the railroads could not furnish cars for shipments. Says Operators Stand Firm. President Perham of -the teleg- raphers said during the morning: “Our latest advices indicate that all our men are staying out. The passen- ger trains are from seven to fourteen hours late on the Middle and Western divisions of both roads; that freight and stock trains are at-a standstill. I want to point out that most of the passenger trains which arrive at the Union depot apparently on time are not through trains from the coast. They are stub tirains made up at Jamestown, N. D, and at other sta- tions a few hundred miles west.” A representative of the Great North- ern road announced that on the three eastern divisions of the road 80 per cent of the stations are supplied with agents and operators. It is reported from all points that many strikers are asking to be relnstated. . For the Northern Pacific it is stated that conditions are steadily and rap- idly improving; that on the Idaho division, for example, where the be- ginning of the strike closed all the stations, twenty-two stations are now open. Perishable freight for certain towns is being accepted by the railroad com- panies, but commission men say condi- tions remain nearly as bad as during the first days of the strike. EDITOR IS A SUICIDE.

The ene emy halted at Onol, twenty-five miles south of Tailan, and at &' o’clock om the morning of July 30 sent a letter under a flag of truce to the Japaneseé commanding officer from General Liapnoff, the Russian governor, say- ing that the lack of .bandage material and medicines and the consequent ine ability to succor the wounded eom- pelled him from a sense of humanity to terminate hostilities. “The commander of the Japanese force replied, demanding the delivery of all war supplies and property of the Russian government, the unine jured and the delivery of all maps, records and. papers relating to the" Russian civil and military administra- tion and requiring their delivery in reply at*10 o’clock on'the morning of July 31, otherwise an attacking moves mént would immediately be started.
