New Orleans July 31 The most dls
quletlnlg news In the yellow fever sit-
uation Saturday was evidence of the
panic increasing in smaller towns ol
Louisiana and Mississippi and that a
disposition was growing to revive dis-
astrous commercial quarantines of 1897
when some country towns even re-
fused to receive Ice or hardware from
New Orleans Columbia La bars all
kinds of merchandise except hardware
Utlca Miss will not receive freight of
any kind Osyka Miss will take no
fruit or vegetables Jackson La
wants no household articles from New
Orleans Several towns In Tennessee
and along the Mississippi Valley road
In Mississippi refuse to allow express
tnntter of any lilnd to be put off Fort
Gibson Miss will not take bread nor
anything wrapped In burlap that may-
be shipped from this city Some Texas
towns are asking that the malls be
fumigated If movement of the quar
antlne of freight spreads New Orleans
will suffer more seriously than from
the fever Itself Up to Saturday there
had been no local apprehension of a
dangerous epidemic and it Is believed
that if the boards of health In other
states lived up rigidly to the agree-
ment not to place any restrictions upon
transportation of freight there would
bo only a slight reduction in business
and the chief Inconvenience would be
in the inability of country people to
come here and of New Orleans people
to go Into southern towns and cities
Anticipating quarantines most of the
business houses with the discovery of
the fever wired their drummers not to
come to town but remain In their ter-
ritory so they might travel freely and
tend In orders as usual during the
prevalence of sickness but If an em-
bargo Is put on freight now New Or-
leans drummers will find their useful-
ness at an end and New Orleans nat-
ural business will be diverted to other
points
The history of the case of yellow fe-
ver reported at Lumberton Miss the
first In that state had not been traced
Up to Saturday night but it was not

Obably casesfcwlil develop at other
points though the danger Is constant-
ly lessening because so tight Is the
cordon drawn around New Orleans
now at lenst so far as emergency of
Italians is concerned that It Is doubt-
ful If any more will be able to leave the
city Lumberton is on the ShlpTsland
road and It would not have been diffi-
cult for Italian from here to have gone
that point Dr Wasdln or the marine
hospital service Is In charge of the
Lumberton case which has been
screened and isolated and is being
scientifically treated It Is not consid-
ered probable there be any spread
there and Ship Island trains will con-
tinue to run to Gulfport
Cleaning campaign continues to be
carried on with great energy and everj
carj to hire In the city have been re-
quisitioned by the public works de-
partment and citizens committees
Tons of street cleanings are being
transported to the rear and hundreds
of barrels of lime arc being used In an
effort to purify the streets gutters and
back yards The masses of the people
think disinfectants serve a double pur-
pose that of killing germs and that of
putting fever bearing mosquitoes out
of the way
The Era club one of the chief wo
mens organizations of the city have
volunteered Its services to Dr Deverly
Warner proposing to hold parlor meet-
ing dally In order that the women of
the city may bo Instructed In the cru-
sade against the mosquitoes and best
methods of ridding In the city of them
Much sympathy Is felt here for Mem-
phis which has been compelled tc
quarantine New Orleans against her
will On the first report of fever that
clt tent a representative here who put
himself close touch with the situation
anil saw no necessity for quarantine
and the health nuthoiitles would doubt-
less have kept their promise not to bai
New Orleans refugees If Imposition ol
quarantines by other cities ugainsl
Memphis bad not forced them to act
in selfdefense

MORE WARLIKE
As Peace Conference Draws Near
Press Becomes Belligerent
St Petersburg July 31 Tone of tht
Russian press grows more warlike as
peace conference draws nigh and the
government on all sides is urged to re-
sist humiliating demands even at the
Cost of continuing the war Peace on
Japanese terms as outlined by Mr
Sato says the Russ which Is the first
paper to comment serlousl yon the Sate
Interview can only be an armistice
The Russ which has now the largest
Liberal following finds the Japanese
demanads far from moderate and seef
little chance of the conference ending
successfully if Mr Sato correctly
stated the Japanese position but ap-
pears to believe Baron Komurai
spokesman Is acting on his own re-
sponsibility or scents a itossllile blufl
to pave the way for acceptance of act-
ual and more moderate terms by Japan
The Svlet continues Its fault finding
with tactlessness of the visit of Sec-
retary Taft and Miss Alice Roosevelt
to Japan while the United States is the
host of the peace envoys
