FIGHT AGAINST FEVER. Marine Hospital Service In Complete Control. Evidence of Panicky Feeling In Coun try Parishes Five Italians Who Fleo From New Orleans All Died of Yel low Fever In Jefferson Archbishop Chapelle's Crisis Today. New Orleans, Aug. 8. Official yel low fever report to C p. m.: New cases, 32; total to date, 5C5; deaths for the day, 8; total deaths to date, 113; new sub-foclftyl ; total sub-foci to date, 97. With the marine hospital service act ing under the authority of President Roosevelt placed In complete control at noon of the scientific fight to eradi cate yellow fever from New Orleans before frost, the campaign against the scourge assumed fresh life. With ample funds, the'best available medic al talent and an army of willing work ers Dr. J. H. White, Burgeon in charge, hopes for success. The city and the state boards ot health have pledged all assistance pos sible to Dr. White. It was announced that the marine hospital Bervlce would soon take up the work of receiving and compiling daily reports, There was a prompt response to the appeal of Chairman Janvier of the citizens' committee for additional sub scriptions to the citizens' fund to raise the $250,000 desired by the govern ment. In addition, Mr. Janvier tele graphed to Governor Blanchard asking the state's assistance In securing the money desired to fight the fever. Un solicited checks have been sent from other parts of the country. An evidence of the panicky feeling In the country parishes is shown in the experience of the Cumberland Tel ephone company. At Arcadia, La., the man In charge of the 'phone office fled when the fever began to spread. The telephone company tried to fill the position but Arcadia refused to permit a man to come to work, and the service has been suspended. A similar situation prevails at Baton Rouge. The Baton Rouge telephone exchange serves much of the surround ing country and all that region Is with out telephonic communication. The death reported on the Bell plan tation In Jefferson parish, across the Mississippi river from New Orleans, Is the fifth that has occurred there, showing the heavy mortality from the fever where adequate attention Is not given. Five Italians fled from New Orleans thither and all have died of yellow fever. One Incident out of the ordinary Is the death of Emtle M. Lopez, a boy. After his death had been reported the board of health gave permission to hold the body 24 hours before burial. While the boy lay In a coffin the mother embraced her dead son and thought she detected signs of life. Physicians disproved her suspicions. Archbishop Chapelle was reported as doing well last night. He will pass the crisis today. The following cable gram was received by him: "The holy father deplores your sick ness. In wishing you a speedy recov ery he sends you his apostolic bless ing. Cardinal Merry Del Val, "Papal Secretary of State."

Tho answer came back: "Soon." Coleman, with unsteady hand, took the key and said: "Give It to me now; I'm dying." He was taken home and lived but a short time. Mr. Morgan Sees President. OyBter Bay, Aug. 8. J. Plerpout Morgan of New York had a confer ence with President Roosevelt lasting an hour and a half. The president himself Is authority for the statement that It related practically entirely to the affairs of the Hankow railroad In China, a controlling interest In which Is owned by J. P. Morgan & Co. Inci dentally, and as relating in a measure to the railroad interests held by Amer icans in China, the pending pence ne gotiations formed a topic of'consider Itlon by the president and Mr. Morgan. New Equitable Directors. New York, Aug. 8. Regarding tho conference with President Morton Mr. Cleveland said: "We have arranged for a regular meeting of tho trustees to take place In September. At this meeting tho stock will be volcd on. In addition 13 new directors will be chosen, and at the same time such other vacancies as may occur In the directorate of the society will be filled." Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland loft for New Hampshire at night. HOPE FOR PEACEFUL RESULT. Liberal Zemstvoista No Longer Desire a Continuance of the War. St. Petersburg, Aug. 8. The eve ol the opening of the all-Important nego tiations at Portsmouth sees a belief In the possibility of peace. Even the hope that the negotiators will reach a peaceful understanding is more prev alent than it was a week ago, and the country and the government are wait ing anxiously for a message from the United States. The last efforts to Influence Japan and the Japanese plenipotentiaries through the medium of press expres sion have been made, the denouement being now too close to make furthet efforts to sway public opinion at home or abroad. Many zemstvolsts until recently fa vored a continuance of the war solely because they considered that some outside impelling power Buch as wat was necessary to force the govern ment to grant the country the demand ed reforms. As the result of the con ferences at Peterhof they have now become convinced that the granting ol a popular assembly on a comparatively liberal basis Is assured and hence they no longer desire a continuance of the war and desire peace on humane grounds. As this conviction gains ground the ranks of those reformers who desire peace swells, and the emperor is daily receiving communications from zem stvolsts and others setting forth the country's growing desire for peace. The question of the retention of the island of Sakhalin has dropped out ot discussion and the question of an in demnity has become the paramount one. Imprisoned Sailors Released. Toklo, Aug. 8. A vessel of the Jap anese navy has rescued survivors oi the prize crew of the British Bteamei Oldhamia, who were imprisoned on Urupp island.

The Poltava nnd Peresvlet will leave lu a week under their own steam. HEBREW BAKERS' STRIKE. Police Kept Busy Price of Twtf-Poune Loaf Doubled. New York, Aug. 8. Rioting among the striking Hebrew bakers on the lower East side kept the police busy and compelled them to use their clubs freely. Most of the trouble grew out of efforts on the part of the latter tc induce non-union men to Join them None was seriously hurt and there were but few arrests.

Pennsylvania Men Get Gold Watchei For Putting Out Powder Train Fire. Pittsburg, Aug. 7. Corporations may sometimes be Eoulless, but E. J. Lath am, a freight conductor on the Penn sylvania, and L. B. Holdren, a tele graph operator, don't think so. Tc each of the men has been presented the best standard watch the Pennsyl vania could buy.

The cars were together at the rear of the train, as the rules pro vide, aud Conductor Latham discov ered that the roof was afire.

A fire extinguisher falling to put out the blaze, Latham and Holdren climb ed to the top of tho car and applied bucketful after bucketful of water un til the roof fire was extinguished. They then took wet rags and entered the car to dampen the then smoldering beams of the roof. The train was connected and proceeded on Its way. The Pennsylvania lines' officers rec ognized the heroism of the men and took action to reward it. On the back of each of the watch cases was placed the name of the owner and the follow ing Inscription: "Presented as a token of recognition on the part of Its officers for bravery and presence of mind In protecting the company's property on June 19, 1905."
