Yellow Fever Worse Outside Than in
New Orleans.
New Orleans, Aug. 23.— With the
fever checked in the city, and provision
under way to prevent further reinfec
tion, from the country, the local situa
tion is still encouraging. Of the new
foci, three are above Canal street. At
Rosa park, a fashionable residence park
opening into St. Charles avenue, a well
known citizen and member of Governor
Blanchard’s staff, is the victim. An
other case is at a boys’ college far
down town, one of the employes being
stricken. Rev. Father Aveilhe, pastor
of St. Maurice’s church, is another pa
tient reported today.
Of the deaths,
only one occurred uptown, that of a
clerk who had been living here nine
months.
The news from outside the city shows
the continued seriousness of the situa
tion. Definite information was received
from Dr. J. A. Devron, the state board
of health physician sent to Leevilie, at
the mouth of Bayou la Eourche, a few
days ago. His reports show that the
first news received from there was not
exaggerated. During two days of work
there he found 69 cases at yellow fever,
53 suspected cases and about 145 cases
of dengue. He adds:
“ There are about 300 houses and
families here, and I do not think there
is a single house which has not one or
more cases of sickness. The people
are completely distracted.
All seem
to have lost ambition to work. They
are completely demoralized.” He asks
for more doctors and nurses, as the sit
uation is beyond the capacity of one
man.
He reports one or two deaths
since his arrival.
St. Tammany parish reports a case
on the road between Mandeville and
Lewisburg, which came from New Or
leans.
Hanson City reports six new cases,
Kenner one and Sarpy plantation two.
There was one death on Elizabeth
plantation in Iberviile. St. Rose and
St. Charles parishes have two cases and
one is dead.

PACKERS COMBINE
Independent Companies to Fight
the Beef Trust.
RAILROADS WILL LEND A HAND
Organized in Secrecy, They Begin the
Attack in Chicago, After Es
tablishing Their Plants.
Chicago, Aug. 22.— Carefully laid
opposition to the beef trust, which, it
is asserted, will reach gigantic propor
tions shortly, began operations at the
partially completed packing plant own-'
ed by the Independent Packing com
pany this morning. With the utmost
Becrecy two companies— the other the
Western Packing & Provision company
— have organized in Chicago and their
plants will cost nearly $500,000 when
completed.
While the packers of the beef trust
circle were warding off the attacks of
the Interstate Commerce commission
as to private car lines and the Federal
grand jury as to combination and con
duct of their business, the wholesale
butchers, hotel men and restaurant
men, as well as other large consumers
of meat were secretly organizing with a
determination to succeed so stronggly
in their minds that no word reached
the public till this week.
Men interested in the new concerns
say the railroads have privately given
assurances that they will aid the inde
pendents to almost any extent, as they
have tired of what they term the pack
ers’ manipulations and sometimes
treachery.
The two plants now nearly completed
are both in the stockyards district.
The Independent company’ s $150,000
packing plant is at West Forty-first and
Halsted streets, and the Westein com
pany’ s $300,000 plant is at Morgan and
Thirty-eighth streets. The third and
largest independent plant will be built
next summer and will cost more than
$500,000 in itself.
The company
which will build it is ready to obtain
its charter, but will defer action until
actual work on the plant begins.

Storm Sweeps Through Minnesota
With Great Fury.
St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 22 — Devasta
tion, terrible and complete, was
wrought on all sides of the Twin Cit'es
by the storm of Sunday night, accord
ing to reports just received
here.
Through all the region from Anoka to
Fillmore counties reports tell of disast
er and 1 088 of life and property.
Members of families are missing and
it is believed they are buried under the
debris, which was strewn broadcast by
the wind. Many instances of maiming
are leported and the total loss of life
will not be known for some days.
Crops which had been cut and were
ready for threshing suffered in many
places and standing corn was damaged
by hail and wind. Hailstones several
inches in circumference worked havoc
with the crops in some sections.
Large sections of railroad tracks were
swept away south of here and the mail
trains on certain portions ol tbe Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road were
run yesterday on improvised tracks,
making slow time on account of the en
forced insecurity of the roadbed.
In some of tbe farming localities the
grain was stripped from the stalks,
even in the shocks, by the furious rain
and wind, and haystacks were com
pletely demolished. Huge trees, which
have successfully withstood the storms
of years, were uprooted and hurled be
fore the wind, and barns and other out
buildings were completely destroyed.
The damage done to build'ngs and
crop« in the southern counties will
reach many thousands of dollars, but
no accurate estimate can he formed un
til complete reports are received.
All sections report that the storm
was cyclonic in its nature and from
some points reports tell of a funnel
shaped cloud that descended with the
most intense fury, leaving destruction
in its path.

Indians Want Statehood.
Muscogee, I.T ., Aug. 22.— The chief
taincy of the five civilizer! tribes to the
number of 200 delegates met here to
day to declare for separate statehood for
Indian Territoty, aided and abetted by
white residents of Indian Territory,
who for both business and sentimental
reasons are opposed to a union with
Oklahoma. This is the first time the
tribal citizens of the territory ever as
sembled to notify congress that they are
ready for statehood.
Texan Health Regulations.

W ILL DRIV E C O N G R E S S .
Legislation Mutt Be Passed On Rail
road Rates and Tariff.
/
Washington, Aug. 22.— In abandon-
' ing the idea of calling an extra session
of congress in November, President
Roosevelt has handed out no encour
agement to the men who are fighting
railroad rate legislation, or to the
stand-pat Republicans who disagree
with him on the tariff question. The
abandonment of an extra session in
November will have little effect upon
the actual work of the next congress.
It simply means that, instead of get
ting together and organizing in Novem
ber, congress will meet on the first
Monday in December, will organize in
the days preceding the holiday recess,
and will be ready for work soon after
the first of January, instead of the
first of December. But congress will
not shorten the session, for the time
that is taken off at the beginning will
be tacked on at the end, and it is now
probable that the first session of the
Fifty-ninth congress, instead of ad
journing in April next, will run well
into the summer.
President Roosevelt has not aban
doned hope of securing the passage of
a railroad rate bill, nor has he given
up hope of securing a readjustment of
♦he tariff to meet new conditions. And
it may be s :t down as an absolute fact
that, if tbe president, makes clear his
position and in a message to congress
insists upon railroad rate legislation as
well as tariff legislation, the bouse of
representatives will pass bills very
closely in line with his ideas, and
won’ t waste much time about it.
The people of the United States, es
pecially the voters, have become pretty
thourghly imbued with tbe idea that
there ought to be legislation on the
railroad rate question. They believe
the president would not have taken his
firm stand without cause, and the peo
ple are with the chief executive. A
great many of them, undoubtedly a
large majority, agree with him that the
time has come when there should be a
readjustment of tariff rates, especially
tlie rates th.'t affect industries no long
er needing protection behind a tariff
wall, but which are taking advantage
of tlie protection afforded by the Ding-
ley law to sell their products abroad at
less price than they command in this
country.
If the president wins his fight for
railroad legislation he may have to sac
rifice the tariff bill at the coming ses
sion, but it is known he regards the
railroad question as the more import
ant of the two at this time, and would
probably be willing to compromise on
these grounds, if he can get a satis
factory rate bill.
The discussion of
the railroad question, or rather the dis
cussion of the railroad question coupled
with the discussion of subjects injected
for filibustering purposes, will occupy
so much time that there will be little
opportunity to consider a tariff bill in
the senate.
The house, which must originate tar
iff legislation, may frame and pass a
tariff bill, while the senate is wrestling
with the rate problem, but the chances
are that the senate will not be obliged
to surrender to the president on the
tariff question at tlie coming session,
provided it passes the rate bill favored
by the president.
There is hardly
time in a single session to dispose of
two such great questions, but there is
no telling what President Roosveelt
may be able to do.

Hit by Flying Freight Car at a Butte
Street Crossing.
Butte, Mont., Aug. 22.—Ten persons
were killed and more than a ecore were
injured, some fatally, here tonight, as
tlie result of a freight car dashing into
a crowded open trolley car at the cross
ing of the street car and the Great
Northern railroad tracks on Utah
street.
Passengers on the car, men, women
and children, were returning from Co
lumbia Gardens. The motorman, as
usual, stopped his car before reaching
the railroad crossing. At that moment

London, Aug. 22. — The Telegraph’s
