Alter 11 naa oecome Known that an ap
peal had been sent to the President to
take charge of the situation. -J. H. White
of the Marine Hospital Service, was asked
wnat cnange would result from his as
sumption of control. He said:
"I will give an enlarged application of
the system at present in force, take the
usual precautions to prevent people from
leaving while fn the possible incubative
stages -and infecting new districts'; a rigid
application of measures destructive to
mosquitos in the whole of any infected
vicinity: dally inspection of every portion
In every house where there has been
case, and a duplication in such houses of
destructive measures for mosquitos. W
want the citizens, one and all, to mako a
concerted and simultaneous effort along
the lines suggested today by Mr. Parrar
and ,Rev. Warner to kill all the mos
ouitos in the city. and. If the. household
era., one and aft, .will .do -this, it will . be

beyond question not only ther destructioa-
oxfectedmoegurtoe, jaut,-" far as -
man agency may attain that end. the
destruction of all mosquitos' in all places
where a case of fever nas been. The
prime necessity of this is that doctors
shall report all cases of fever. They must
not stand on their dignity, when the Issue
Is-the well-being of over a. quarter of a
million -people In 'the city and 20,000,030 in
the South at large.
"There Is one way, and only one. In
which yellow fever is transmitted, viz.,
by the bite of a mosquito of a variety
known as stegomla fasclata. So sure am
I of this that I would let my Innocent

know not think that this Is the oaiy
method by which the 'disease is trans

;that the destruction of yellows-fever mos
quitos Is The only method, of eliminating
the fever, and that the elimination of the
mosquitos by thc.resldents of your city is
the only method of preventing any fur

PROTEST TO SECRETARY SHAW
Blanchard Says Mississippi Invaded
Louisiana Waters.
WASHINGTON, 'Aug. 5. Secretary
Shaw this afternoon received a tele-
pram from Governor Blanchard, of
Louisiana, protesting that Mississippi
patrol-boats for 10 days have been ln-
adlng Louisiana waters and jurisdic
tion, molesting fishermen, stopping.
driving in and chasing the fishing-
boats. Particular complaint Is made
against the Mississippi boat Grace,
which. Governor Blanchard says, -would
have been seized by Louisiana authori
ties but that she claimed to b.e. in the
United States Marine Service. The
Governor says it looks like Mississippi
has been using -the authority of the
Federal Government for depredations
on Louisiana. 'I protest against all
this," he concludes.
The Secretary sent the following
reply:
I have ordered Captain Ross, of tho
revenue cutter service there, under gen
eral direction of the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service. Officials of both
branches or tne service deny any viola
tions of law. Now that the whole subject
of quarantine has been, by authority of
the Governors of each state, turned over
to the Federal Government, there need be
no fear of future complications. Mean
time, I will have all charges Investigated.
Mr. Shaw has wired Captain Ross
to proceed at once to New Orleans,
principally to superintend the .revenue-
cutter service at that point and with a
view oi strictly maintaining: quaran

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. E. At the end
of the fourth, day .of the telegraphers
strike on the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, the officials of the roads de
clare that the strike is. practically a
closed incident. According to Information
given out at the general offices, more than
SO per cent of the strikers on the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern are now
supplanted with agents, a number claimed
to be sufficient to tide over traffic until
the remaining places can be filled.
Tralrwj reached -the Union Station In
St Paul today with greater regularity and
promptness than during tho previous 24
hours. The bulletin office at the Ration
reports all Great Northern trains prac
tically on time. The North Coast Limited
on the Northern Pacific was five hours
late, and the Twin City Express, on tho
same road, six and a half hours behind
time.
Superintendent Beamer. at Spokane, to
day wired to General Manager Horn of
V.I V-l Knn T! r. (hat StHVA Phfilr-

miles of line, to report for re-employment
at once. The action Is said to have had a
significant effect on applications for rein
statement coming in from the Idaho
division.
President Perham, of the Telegraphers,
now In St. Paul, admitted the defection;
and said he had discharged Haney from
the union.
Mr. Perham. in referring to the pro
posed action of the Government in inves
tigating interruption in Interstate tele
graph service, said that his brotherhood
would welcome the move.
"I hope the action will result In taking
the matter into court. I want a better
opportunity to get a fair hearing and to
make known to the public the real Issuo
In this controversy."
The announcement that J. J. Hill' would
return to St. Paul August 10 was -welcomed
by the telegraphers, who will ask him
to Intervene. It Is believed by the union
men that the cost of maintaining tho
struggle and the prospects of loss from
stock and grain movements will result in
Mr. Hill's taking a hand In bringing about
a settlement. Both railroads are giving
the strikers to understand that their
places will not be available to them after
they Are once filled.
General Manager Horn, of tho Northern
Pacific, says he Is having no, difficulty In
securing .strike-breakers, ISO applications
for work being on filo at his office tonight.
Applicants are being examined as rapidly
as possible, and sent West to man the
wires.. It.Is understood that a large num
ber of the. applications being made to
both roads are from women.

which he declares that the telegraphers
strike is already a failure. Chairman
Haney advises the men on the division
he represents, which includes 800 miles
of line, to report at- once for re-employment.
His action has had an important
effect and applications are coming in from
the Idaho division strikers.
"Superintendents on nearly every divi
sion reported this afternoon that men
are applying for reinstatement. This
matter has not been considered In detail
by the management.
"Trains are moving on time over the en
tire system, except in a few. Instances.
Conditions have improved very greatly.
More than S5 per cent of the Northern
Pacific stations are now supplied with
agents. Competent operators are going
West at the -rate of 60 a day to take
vacancies. The reports from the divisions
are encouraging."
"Superintendent Albee of the Pacific
division reports that S0CO people are be
ing handled dally between Tacoma and
Portland without delay.' This is Exposi
tion travel. He has reduced the num
ber of loads waiting movement today
from COO to 300.

3IAKE CONFLICTING CLAIMS.
Railroad Offlclnls Minimize nnd
Strikers 3Iagnlfy Their Troubles.
SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 5. The tele
graphers' strike situation at Spokane is
about the same as yesterday. All trains
are moving, those of the Great Northern
more nearly on time than thoso ot the
Northern Pacific The smaller stations
east and west of both main line roads are
still without operators.
The telegraphers' strike chiefs, while
admitting trains are running, say the
sire of trains has been greatly reduced
and they believe the companies are ex
ceedingly fortunate in so far escaping
wrecks. Additions are being made slowly
to the working telegraph force of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern, but
the block system on the former road is
still disqualified.
Strikers claim next week will see such
a congestion of freight as to seriously
hamper the companies', but the district
superintendents say there is little doubt
of their ability, to move promptly all
freight offered.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 5. (SpeclaJ.) There

telegraphers on the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads today. Both sides
claimed to be encouraged, but conserva
tive opinion is that the men lost some-
wnar, inasmuch as some sinkers re
turned to work.
Passenger traffic is being handled with
delays of less than an hour in nearly
every Instance, the perishable freight be
ing moved with considerable regularity.
The time card Is being strictly adhered

PREPARING FOR THE SIEGE
Garrison Commander Issues Signifi

Mountains Whilo Sakhalin
Army Approaches.
LONDON, Aug. 5. (Special.) The news
that the commander ot the garrison of
Vladivostok has Issued to the inhabitants
of tho city the stringent orders that are
given out only In case -of a threatened
siege has created uneasiness but no sur
prise In St, Petersburg. There seems to
be a constant' fear in the Russian capital
that communication with Vladivostok may
any moment be severed, and the recent
engagements along the shore of the River
Jugcn give grounds for the supposition
that the expected may happen at any
moment.
It was not necessary that Baron Ha.se-
gawa's detachment should cover all the
distance to Ninguta before making the
detour that would bring It out near the
Russian lines of railway. On the con
trary, the chances are that it left the
high road when It reached Kalho, a ham
let on the banks of the river of that name,
and thence crossed the gap in tho Llao
yehllng range to the headwaters o the
Suizfong, which flows Into the Avar Bay
at Vladivostok, passing by Nikolska,
and, as there Is a mountain road
for the greater part of the Jour
ney, entering the maritime province
at the village of Poltavska. it Is not Im
possible that this flanking force belong
ing to Baron Hasegawa's army may make
its appearance before many days elapse
to the north and rear ot the Russian sea
port.
General Andricff has abandoned any in
tention that he may have had ot creating
a diversion by marching a Russian column
into Corea, and he has withdrawn his
forces, it would seem, to the Kovoklevak
depot. There Is no Russian army, as far
as can bo ascertained, east of KIrin, save
the Vladivostok garrison, and the pros
pects of that becoming isolated are un
deniable. It is probable that operations
will be conducted from the direction of
Sakhalin and this applies with greater
force to the situation today In that the
Russian railway headquarters has shifted
to Hawbaravka.
An expedition may perhaps ascend the
Amur and co-operate with the land forces
against tho Russian position as soon as
minor matters of administration have
been finally settled In the Island of Sah-
halln, and at the present rate of prog
ress this would not take very long. The
latest reports from Japan show that the
army pursuing the Russians through tho
Island Is steadily successful in Its endeav
ors to clear the soli of Intruders.
