Immigrants Are Admitted.
Members of the Chicago Press Club
visited Ellis Island New York, on
Thursday, where they were given a
realistic demonstration of how immi¬
grants are inspected before being al¬
lowed to enter this country. Each
guest was labeled with a tag like a
real immigrant just arrived from Eu¬
rope and was subjected to the regular
examination for admission. Two <?f
the newspaper men were declared in¬
eligible to land and become American
citizens. They did not have enough
mony to assure the tnspectors that
they would not become public
charges.

Itinerary 11 Jfii Changed.
There was genuine pleasure at a
meeting of the Georgia state fair man-
agers in Atlanta Thursday morning
when Secretary Weldon read a tele-
gram from Secretary Loeb stating
that Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt would
reconsider her plans to return t 0
Washington from Roswell and would
accompany President Roosevelt to At-
lanta. This reply was received to an
Invitation sent to Mrs. Roosevelt and
signed by President Dudley Hughes
of the state agricultural society, and
W. R. Joyner, president of the Atlanta
fair association.
On two previous occasions Atlanta
lias enjoyed the distinction of enter¬
taining the president of the country
and his wife. The first occasion was
during the memorable visit of Presi¬
dent Cleveland to the Piedmont ex¬
position, at which time ho was also
accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland. The
other occasion was during the visit of
President McKinley, who also had
with him his wife, who received and
met many of the ladies of Atlanta.
The military feature of President
Roosevelt’s visit to Atlanta will be
imposing.
The elaborate Plans necessary for
the precise handling of the large
number of troops that will participate
have been practically completed and
Colonel Van Orsdale of the seven-
teenth infantry, TJ. S. A. who will
be grand marshal of the parade, will
issue his general order in regard to
the assembling and moving of the
troops within the next day or two.
It is not known definitely how many-
out of town militia companies will
take part but quite a number have
written to Colonel Clifford L. Ander-
son that they will endeavor to bo in
Atlanta on October 20, prepared to
appear in the parade and review. Co!-
Anderson, who commands the fifth
regiment cf infantry, Gecjrge state
troops, is a committee of votjo to
represent the fair directors in ail\nil-
itary matters.
The troops taking part in the pa¬
rade will be:
o seventeenth infantry, IT. S.
A., wmch is stationed at Fort McPher-
Fon- son, the tne fifth nttti re-imf regiment, nl G g. .->. ", T r„ such ,-neh
out of town militia companies as ato
in the city for the day, and at least
a battalion of school cadets from the
neighboring military academies; two
troops from the twelfth caval¬
ry, U. S. A., stationed at Fort Ogle¬
thorpe, and the Governor’s Horse
Guards.

■f'<.nTY“TW0 NEW CASES
Yellow Fever is Having Full Sway
at Pensacola—British Vice Consul
Among Tuesday's Victims.
The fever summary at Pensacola
Tuesday night showed a big Increase
in the number of new cases. It was
as follows: New cases 32, total cases
3U7, deaths 3, total deaths 45, under
treatment 149, discharged 113.
The large increase in the number
of new cases was expected, owing to
the very inclement weather, and the
previous spread of the disease to all
sections of the city. The number for
Tuesday was much larger than any
date since the outbreak of the fever,
in addition there was reported a large
number in the suspicious class.
One of the deaths during the day
was British Vice Consul Frederick
Bonar, who wail taken ill during the
latter portion of last week. He had
been in Pensacola lor five years, com¬
ing from Brest, France, where ho was
vice consul. His family is very prom¬
inent, his father being in the consular
service in Paris, while his brother is
consul general in .Tapwi.
At a meeting of tho city council
appropriations were made for the em¬
ployment of more physicians (o assist
in stopping the rapid spread of the
disease.

Tuesday to 6 p. m. was as follows:
New cases 18, total cases to date
3,230, deaths 4, total deaths to date
415, new foci 9, cases under treat¬
ment 171, cases discharged 2,634.
For the first time in a week a new
point of infection was reported from
the state. Two cases wore reported
from New Iberia, which up to now
has apparently been free from infec¬
tion.
The reports from Mississippi were
as follows: Vicksburg, four new
cases; Natchez, six new cases; Port
Gibson, two new cases; Gulfport, five
new cases.
