NEW CASES CONSTANTLY REPORTED SITUATION IN TRICT NOT REGARDED AS VERY FAVORABLE. New Orleans, Aug. 10.—The report of sixty wew cases of yellow fever in New Orleans Tuesday ' and of twelve up to noon shows how com- plete the infection is in the district below Canal street, very few affiicted being found outside of this locality, where the disease was first discov- iered, and shows oniy too plainly the ltask which the federal authorities jhave before them in their efiorts to stamp out the pest. The situation in Mis; so favorable, as suspi was reported#at Yazoo Springs. Within an . report had been received Miss., quarantined againzt ¥ Though the large n cases announced C twenty-four hou elfect t}w T re for et 1L many of the ca: | ported are of the violent L)pt, which has played havoc in the ranks of the ignorant Italian population. MENACE TO DOMESTIC LIFE. Many Cases of Wife Desertion in New York Cl{y New York, Aug. 10.—Stirred by the presence in his courtroom of 100 wo- men, followed by a mob of children, each woman demanding a warrant for Ithe husband whom she charged with desertion and non-support, Magistrate Pool declared that wife desertion is one of the most serious menaces to { domestic life that now confronts New | York. After hearing the charges the magistrate iscued ‘twenty warrants and turned the remaining cases over to the court officers for immediate in- vestigation. A probation officer in Magistrate Pool's court said he had given the question of wife abandonment careful study and that such cases are con- stantly increasing in number in this 'chy. He asserted that family inter- ference and troublesome relatives were the two causes largely responsi- ble. BODY PLACED ON TRACKS. Watchman Murdered and Effort Made to Hide Crime. Butte, Mont., Aug. 10.—A coroner’s inquest and an autopsy over the re- mains of Joseph Whitford, who was struck by a street car, disclosed the !fact that Whitford had been Kkilled and his body placed upon the tracks in an effort to cover up the crime. Whitford was a special watchman on the Northern Pacific road and it is the theory of the police that he was attacked and killed by either coal | thieves or tramps and his body placed | upon the tr: s to be struck by a jtrain. Wkitford had been active in ;lhe pursuit of coal thieves and it is | the theory of the police that they as- sassinated him.

REVIEWED BY KING EDWARD. Combined French and British Efeets at Portsmouth. ‘-'onsmouth Eng.,, Aug. 10.—King Edward celebrated the anniversary of s¥3 cordnation by reviewing the com- bined French and British fleets, ag- gregating some seventy ships. As a spectacle the event was somewhat marred by gloomy and showery weather, but the enthusiasm of the crowds was ‘undiminished. Enormous masses ofs people thronged both shores and there was a fleet of excursion boats filled to their capacity. The royal vacht Victoria and Albert weighed anchor at 10:30 o'clock and foHowed by a few privileged yachts tslowly passed down the lines of the ‘ficets. As King Edward approached the French and- British flagships the firing of the royal saMde commenced and th'e entire combined fleels jeined in a salvo of 101 guns. The review lasted an heur and then the Victoria and Albert returned to her moorings. Later the Kking pro- ceeded to the battlerhip Massena, the French flagship, where he was the guest of Vice Admiral Caillard at luncheon. The Prince of Wales'and the Duke of Connaught accompanied his majesty. The French fleet then weighed an- chor and entered Po)tsmouth harbor. NUMBER OF DEAD THIRTEEN FEW MORE BODIES BELIEVED TO BE IN WRECK OF ALBANY New Orleans, Aug. 10.—Archbishop Chapelle of the Catholic diocese of New Orleans died during the after- noon of yellow fever. Archbishop Chapelle had spent some time in the infected district and had been of inestimable service in ad- vising the Italians, who are all Cath- olics, to heed the instructions of the authorities. He was a fluent linguist and could mingle with them. He was stricken Friday last, but the diagnosis of the case was not confirmed until Saturday. Archbishop . Chapelle recently re- turned from Havana. He was for- merly apostolic delegate to the Phil- ippines, where he was located shortly after the Am -an occupation of Ma- nila. He was one of the most famous Catholic prelates in the United States, as he was a personal friend of the iate pope, and his associations with Pius X. were said to be of the most friendly character. STREET CLEANING CAMPAIGN. Thousands of Men Put to Work New Orleans. New Orleans, Aug. 10.—A great street cleaning campaign was inau- gurated here during the day. Be- sides the paid laborers of the city and the prisoners from the jails and house$ of detention thousands of vol- unteers went to work to give New Ortleans a thorough scrubbing. Hun- dreds of carts and wagons were em- ployed in carrying off the refuse. The state board of health was in receipt of advices from a number of parishes notifying it of their disposition to mod- ify quarantine regulations. All foreign immigration into New Orleans is to be stopped until after the fever is stamped out. Targe num- bers of Italian immigrants were ex- ;por-le(l here in September and Octo- { ber, but as the bringing in of thou- sands of unacclimated persons would: be simply to add fresh material for the fever the immigration bureau wiil arrange for the diversion of the ships to other ports unless by that time there is no longer a trace of the dis- ease here. in ENGINE BADLY WRECKED. i { Milwaukee Passenger and Frelght in Mason City, Ia., Aug. 10.—No. 8 pas- seng: and No. 718 freight, on the !

Y., Aug. 10—A thor- ough search carried on since early morning has revealed the fact that all the men and all hut one of the wo- men employed in the department store of the John F. Meyers com- pany, which collapsed Tuesday, are accounted for. About thirty cash bovs out of seventy-five have not yet re- ported, but it is thought scarcely pos- sible that many of them are in the ruins, for the proportion of boys thus [far known to be killed and injured is small. These facts lead to the hellef that the number of deaths will prove con- siderably less than was feared. The dead found thus far number thirteen and there is hope that not mere than half a dozen bodies are still in the wreck. Now that the first shock of the hor- ror is past the people of Albany have begun to ask who is responsible. Mayor Gaus. Chief Higgins of the fire department and Commissioner Cantine of the department of public safety be- lieve that the accident was caused directly by workmen excavating un- derneath the basement floor, who un- dermined one of the key brick piers m the center of the building, and this belief is generally shared. An inves- tigation will be begun as-soon as the work of rescue is over. BASEBALL SCORES. National League. At Cincinnati,-2; Philadelphia, 1. At Chicago, 3; New York, 4.
