Gov. McLaurin Gets Shut Oat of the Capi
tol—No Fever In Kansas City—A
Action of Arkansas.
New Orleans, Sept. 18.—A visit to
’the board of health at 1 p. m. disclosed
the fact that three new cases of yellow
fever had been declared up to that hour.
One new case is on Hospital street, a
Sather dangerous quarter. Information
concerning it was received at 10 o’clock.
The other two cases are Marie Dubois,
-.a child, and O. H. Gorman.
The Hospital street case is Santo
Graffato.
None of the cases under treatment
have terminated fatally during the day,
and the sick, except in two or three
instances, are doing well.
Marion Dowden, member of Ouachita
guards, doing quarantine duty, was fa
tally shot by Henry McCormick. It
was an accident.
The bofiPS of health urges that meet
ings. whether social, fraternal, or other
wise, be avoided or postponed as much
as possible, that remaining in the night
air be avoided as much as possible and
enjoining the public to use filtered, dis
tilled or boiled water. No steps have as
yet been taken to close the theatres,
which are nightly thronged with peo
ple, but if the fever should spread it is
anticipated that the management of the
playhouses will be asked to suspend
temporarily.
The old marine hospital, which has '
been selected as a hospital for ye’.low
fever patients, is in a comparatively
isolated locality in the rear of the city,
and the city, which owns it, has ten
dered its use to the board of health. No
patients have yet been received, but the
place will be rapidly gotten in readiness
for the reception of the sick.
A close watch is being kept by the
authorities at West End and other
points to prevent schooners from the
infected points on the gulf coast from
slipping in. Charcoal, oyster, lumber
and other trades on the coast has been
seriously interfered with.
Many cirizeus have volunteered as
sanitary officers. The board of health
is, however, exercising much oare in
making selections of these officers, since
upon their efficiency the efforts of the
board to stamp out the disease largely
depends. It was decided by the board
that only trained and acclimated nurses
should be allowed to attend yellow fe
ver patients, in order that infection
■light be prevented from spreading.
Kailroad traffic here has dropped to
little or nothing.
CANNOT ENTER THE CITY.
Oor.rHor McLaurin Denied A.lnil—lon tu

• Jackson, Mias.. Sept. 18 —The gov
■eruor of a sovereign state denied admis
sion to his capital city. This is the
moot unique condition of affairs that
exists in Mississippi as a result of the
troublegmie times in which the people
now find themselves.
Governor McLaurin, at the outbreak
. of the yellow fever wave, was in the in
terior of Simpson county, from which
place he proceeded to bis old home in
Brandon. Being anxious to return to
the state capital he made application to |
the city board of health for permission
to enter the city, which wm promptly
declined by that board. There is a gen
eral quarantine rule against persons en
tering the city and these public officials
had no respect of persons in enforcing
the rule.
Governor McLaurin has ordered out
the Capital Light guards of this city in
order to protect the property of the rail
roads in this county.

BLACKS GOING BACKWARD?
Mr. Atk hut on Declares the Negro Race Is
Deteriorating lit Morals.
Atlanta, Sept. 18—Governor Atkin
son believes that the negro, as a race, is
going backward in point of morality,
since emancipation from slavery. The
numerous lynchings and other criminal
records, the governor believes, demon
strates this fact.
During slavery the negro had the sal
ula.influence of-the master to guide
ills moral footsteps, bnt since that pe
r’tfii fee has fallowed bis own bent, und
th*B, Governor Atkiuscn is convinced,
has been one of retrogression.
He has hud complied by the principal
keeper of the penitentiary a series of
figures which he says goes to estubish
iXs theory. Willie the general ten iency
ortho law and the law’s admunstru.
tion has been to be miwe lenient to tin
negro, ehe record.* show that there bus
been a steady increase in crime among
the race.
The governor will incorporate these
figures in Ins message to the next gen
eral assumb y, with comments along the
lino here indicated, which will undoubt
edly attract wide attention.
LUETGERT’S TRIAL LIVELY.
One of the Witnesses. In the Case Causes a
Mthi '"eiiM.ation.
Chicago, Sept. 18. —Witnesses 'fol
lowed each other on the witness stand
in the trial of Adolph L. Luetgert with
unusual rapidity. They were called tu
straighten out the tangled ends bf
former testimony preliminary to the
prosecution’s announcement that it war
closed.
Abraham Seeley, a butcher at 759
Monroe street, caused a mild sensation
when he announced that at the public
sale at Luetgert’s factory some weeks
ago, he purchased some 39 bottles of
mineral water.
It has been the contention of the de
fense that on the night of May 1, when
Mrs. Luetgert is said to have been mur
dered, Luetgert, not feeling well, sent
Frank Bialk to a drug store for medi
cine. ' Biaik himself confirms this and
declares Luetgert told him to get a bot
tle of mineral water. Subsequent de
velopments have shown that rhe sau
sagemaker had at least 38 bottles of
this water on hand when he sent Bialk
away after more that night.
Sergeant Spangler of the police de
partment, Professor Delafontaue and a
number of .olicemen wore culled to the
witness sti-nd to identify the various
exhibits of tones and other articles, mid
to tell where they got them and where
these exhibits had been kept during the
progress of the trial.

In Private Conversation,

in Four Month?—Passing Around
Presidential Pie.
Washington, Sept 18. —Generel Fitz
hugh Lee, consul general to Cuba, bad
a long consultation with the president
at the White House. It is the first time
General Lee had seen Mr. McKinley
Since the former’s return to this country,
about a fortnight ago. He saw the
president by special appointment and
all visitors were excluded during the
progress of the conference, except Sec
retary Alger, who Came over from the
war i department and remained until
after General Lee’s departure.
The conference was a long one, last
ing almost two hours. General Lee
carefully reviewed the situation in
Cuba and explained at length all paints
on which either the president or Seore
tary Alger asked for information. Gen
eral Lee gave his own views very freely
to rhe president, but after the interview
was very reticent as to the nature of
the report he 1. : made. He said the
president had given him an outline of
ins policy.
It is evident, however, that the presi
de!, is deeply impressed with the criti
cal '.-haractar o? the situation in Cuba
as described by General Lee, and it is
understood that in the conference he
strongly nr~e.t Consul General Lee to
retain his office, at least for the present-,
and to return to Havana at his earliest
convenience. As it been strongly
intimated for several months that ex-
Congressman Aldrich would succeed
General Lee in Havana and that the
latter would probably not return, the
president’s action was construed that
he thinks it inadvisable to make a
change at this juncture.
General Lee left hero for Oovington,
Va., but before his departure admitted
that he would return toCuba as soon as
he arranged his private affairs,
probably about the middle of October.
In private conversation with close per
sonal friends General Lee has expressed
himself vigorously as to the situation in
Cuba and has been very emphatic in his
condemnation of some of General Wey
ler’s actions.
