MOSCOW, July 49 (Special Cablegram to The Bee.)-The disposition of the Rus sians of the educated classes to Insist upon the holding of the aemstvos. And the dis position of the autocratic and despotic forces In Russia io prevent these gatherings tins created a situation as Interesting If not more Interesting than anything that has ben before developed in the history of the Russian empire. The political ferment which has agitated Russia since the outbreak of the war with Japan has already resulted in the formation of two clearly defined parties In favor of reform, one of which may for convenience be termed '"conservative," the other 'ln atltutlonal," The former party asserts that Russia's political development must proceed upon lines peculiar to the country, while the other maintains that In this stage In the world'a history there Is only one type of a government possible for a civilized nation Both of these parties are bitterly opposed to the existing autocratic boaureaucratlc re gime and agree In believing that some form of national representation la essential to the reorganization and future welfare of Rus sia. Their differences became apparent dur Ing the Informal meeting of members of the temstvoa which met In St. Petersburg from November 19 to November 21 of last year. They unanimously acknowledged the necessity cf a permanent representative as sembly, but differed with regard to the character which It should assume. The ma Jorlty held that the representatives of the nation should exercise a constitutional check upon the authority of the czar; that the autocracy In short should become a llm Ited monarchy of the western Europe type. The minority, among whom waa the presi dent,' M. Bhlpoff, declared themselves to be In favor of maintaining the Imperial authority In Us integrity. Radical Feeling Grows. During the Interval 'which elapsed be tween the St. Petersburg meeting and the more formal congress which was held In Moscow from May t to May 8, 1906, the attitude of the majority became more de cided and uncompromising, so that several - member who had been regarded as eg " tremlsts at St. Petersburg were surprised to find that in Moscow a considerable num ber of their colleagues had already out stripped them. This reinforcement of rad ical feeling was due, no doubt, partly to the Impression produced by the unhappy events of January, partly to the encouragement given to ' political speculation by the im perial rescript of March S, addressed to the minister of the interior. Meanwhile the conservative reformers In sympathy with M. Shipoff had also had time to define their attitude more precisely. In March the marshals of nobility of twenty-two provinces met to discuss the czar's rescript and published the results of their deliberations in a special memorandum. They pointed out that for the last ten years the general dissatisfaction with the bureaunratic-police regime had been steadily growing, and that "the war had revealed the Inadequacy of our political system, while Internal disorders have dls-, closed our civil and -spiritual demoraliza tion." After declaring that the czar's re script summons "all friends of law and order, regardless of their political opinion," to-Join In constructive work for the re generation of their country, the signatories of. the memorandum warn their readers that: In entering upon a new political life we must not close our eyes to the fact that we have before us not only work hut con flict. Among those engaged In the puhlln life of the countrv there is a verv rnnaMer- able group, closely united and strong by virtue of the personality of those who com , pose It, which looks favorably upon the theories of constitutional government exist ing In western Kurope. There can be no doubt that this group will endeavor to give a strictly constitutions! direction to the forthcoming political reforms. This tend ency must in our opinion be resisted. We do not believe that the existence of forms of government famllln'r to western Kurope excludes the possibility. of all other forms. There Is no reason to suppose that the creative power of nations hne said Its Inst word In the matter of political organization. Raaala Mast Solve Problems. We affirm that the greatest empire In the world can and must vork out an Independ ent form of government, intimately hound up with the peculiar conditions, spiritual, aortal, geographical and other forms of its existence. We assert that no form of gov ernment can be permanent which doe not cloaely correspond with the life and thought of the hulk of the population. We declare emphatically that onlv the autocracy, sup ported by the active co-operation ot repre sentatives of the nation. Is capable of satisfying the needs of the many races rep resented In the Russian empire, and of Ita many interests and classes, the peasantry above all. The reprea-ntat!vea of the na tion referred to In the Imperial rescript must be the medium through which the czar Is brought Into immedtatn contact with the thought of the nation and with public , opinion. They must not limit his autocratic power after the model of the constitutional forms of government. They must put an end to tne arnnrary procedure or govern- ny-nt omelala, by faitnruliy informing the liTonareh of the pressing needs of the peo ple and the country. In addition to th right of discussing all proposed laws elabo rated in the ministries the representatives of the nation must themselves he empow ered to Inmate proposals lor the making of new laws or for the repeal of laws al ready In force. In order to guard against any violation of the laws by the executive authorities, and for the security of liberty of conscience, of the person and of speech, they must have the right to Interpolate ministers who remain responsible to the emperor.

NEW PRISON PLAN A SUCCESS Gratifying Result Follow Attempt Reform Yoathfal t'rlmlaala la Great Rrltala. LONDON. July 29 -(8peclal Cablegram to The Bee.) So gratifying have been the re sults of the experiment with young crim inals at Borstal prison that it Is understood the system will soon be extended all over England. The essential feature of this method of treament Is that up to a certain age every person may be regarded as not beyond cure, and that the state should try to convert him Into a good citizen. The success already achieved has been due In a large measure to the work of the Borstal association. Mr. Akero Douglas, In an Interview, ex plaining the methods of the system, said: "Of the aeventy-slx prisoners released from Borstal last year, thirty-six are In employment, ten unemployed, half through slackness of trade, two In hospital and nineteen have been reconvicted. Consid ering the material, this record la good, for only six of the young men were first of fenders. From the experience gained both Inside and outside the prison I have no hesitation In saying that the Borstal sys tem Is an Immense Improvement upon any thing that has been previously tried in this country. In many cases the discharged prisoner is hardly recognized as the same young criminal who received the sentence. Tha habits of Industry acquired in the workshops around the farm, the Improve ment In Intelligence and physique, are of Incalculable advantage. But In order that these benefits may be reaped to the full a change In the criminal law Is necessary a change which will enable courts of Justice to commit a young offender to Borstal for a long period with a power of discharge on license. This would be the saving of many a lad, and applies especially to offenders of the coster or newspaper selling class. It Is from this class that our failures are chiefly drawn. The time of detention i not long enough to enable them to learn a trade and to forget the attractions of life In the streets of Ixindon." TALK OF G0LD IN IRELAND Alleged Discovery of Ore by Man Who Is P reloplng the Mine. DUBLIN, July 29.-(Speclal Cablegram to The Bee.) A great deal of Interest has been aroused recently by the rumors and reports of tha discovery of a gold mine In Ireland which, Its owners sta-re-ls every bit as rich as any In South AfritS: They claim that It will yield about two ounces of gold to the ton. Great secrecy Is being thrown around the locality in whlchfehbe alleged Irish gold mlno Is said to have been discovered. The announcement of Its existence was first made by Seaton F. Milllgan at a recent meeting of the Royal Society of Antiquaries at Belfast. He stated that a friend of his had discovered the mine In the north of Ire land and that the machinery for working It was ready. Mr. Milllgan refused to be In terviewed regarding the locality of the mine, but the announcement naturally aroused a vast amount of Interest. One re port has it that the mining operations are being carried on near Ballyroney, a small town In the west of County Down, near the Mourne mountains. According to the s'tory, while boring operations for a well were being carried on an extraordinary class of clay waa met with. A cample of this clay waa submitted to sn American expert. He made an analysis and announced that the clay contained both gold and silver In pay ing quantities. So far, it is said, only sur face mining has been done, twenty feet being the greatest depth reached. .It Is not known how deep the lode extends. Accord ing to the experts some of the South Afri can mines are worked profitably with an output of three-quarters of an ounce per ton, while some of the Alaskan mines aver age only three-pennywelghta to the' ton. BULGARIA MAY YET BE FREE Vienna Hears Prince Ferdinand Will Throw Off Turkish Yoke August It. VIENNA, July 29.-(SpeclaI Cablegram to The Bee.) It Is reported here that Prince Ferdinand has resolved to proclaim himself king of Bulgaria on Ausrust . He has been working for promotion from princely to kingly rank since his accession to the Bulgarian throne, and has assid uously canvassed the support of all of the great European monarchs year after year. The czar would not give his assent, and Prince Ferdinand now Intends to exploit Russia's weakness to attain hla ambition, having perauaded England, Germany and Austria to remain passive. The prince, being still nominal vassal to Turkey, the sultan will resent the procla mation by which Bulgaria will become an Independent kingdom, and a Turco-Bul-garlan war Is among the possibilities. Bulgaria Is resolved to right for its inde pendence If attacked by Turkey. ITALIAN" CAPTAIN CONVICTED Man Accused of Selling; Military Secrets to France Sentenced to Prison.

SUPPRESSED SPEECH WIDELY SCATTERED Newspapers Gite Publicity to the Address Not Delivered in Germ an J. FRIENDLY WORDS FOR FRENCH DEPUTY Prinoe Bnelow Gires International Social Democracy s Ornat Advertisement SPEECH A PLEA FOR UNIVERSAI Tells Germany Fraat Not 6eslre Friendship of Ai ouutry Through Heine Unfriendly I to Another. BERLIN. July i tSpecial Cablegram to The Eee. It Is a unique experience for. a public man to have all ot the leading news papers publishing the speech which he would have made If the government had not stepped In to Interfere and prevent the coming of the orator. There are those who tiold that any government which does that sort of a thing confesses its weakness and Its fear of the individual. Prince von Buelow has undoubtedly given the International Social Democracy an ex cellent advertisement. His adoption of the portentous machinery of a diplomatic note in order to prevent the visit of M. Jaurea to Berlin has pot only given wide publicity to the chancellor's appreciation of the value of M. Jaures as an unconscious ally of German weltpolltik in France; It has also hud the effect of revealing the anxiety with which the growth of social democracy in Germany is regarded In authoritative quarters. Prince von BueloW himself hardly takes politics seriously enough to suffer from fits of excessive, political ner vousness. He is known to regard these i things ft a kind of a game, in which It does not seem to matter to him overmuch whether the counters represent petty diplo matic gains or losses or the lives of millions of hard-working citizens. There has, there fore, been somo surprise at his perpetra tion of what must be regarded as a serious tactical mistake of his ' treatment of the Jaures Incident. The clerical Kollsche Zel tung suggests that he was doubtless reckoning with the feelings which are en tertained In a higher quarter where the social democratic demonstration would have been' very unwelcome, but where, on the other hand, it may be assumed that there Is an entire appreciation of the considera tion due to M. Jaurea' personal' standing and his Influence upon the French govern ment. Effect la France. The German imperial chancellor could hardly have been supposed to imagine that the personal compliments with which he has attempted to address M. Jaures would strengthen the Influence of that politician among his owu countrymen. . The l.Ouo.OOO I readers of the Petit Parisian, for example, 1 are not socialists, although they may have admired the ability and the eloquence of the socialist leader, and they and many of their fellow cltizena are inclined to smile at the abrupt termination of M. Jaurea' ex pedition beyond the Rhine and to question the authority and wisdom of a politician who cornea before them with a certificate of character from Prince von Buelow. These considerations would almost seem to furnish some warrant for the otherwise unsup pc sable belief that the German chancellor actually desired to diminish the Influence of M. Jaures in France as a factor which, dur ing the recent complications, haa strength ened thosa pacific tendencies which have enabled the French government to conduct the Moroccan negotiations with Germany with great composure and with a large measure of success. For these reaaona M. Jaurea must be rather pleased than otherwise at the splen did advertisement which the German gov ernment has given him. It has treated him as If he had been one of the great powera and Prince Radolln, the German .iuuouui, hid ueen running arter him ' 8 " M were a Benulne sovereign. It now transpires that when the diplomatist re ceived Prince Buelows instructions he tried to Induce M. Rouvier to request the socialist champion to abandon the Idea of the expedition. M. Rouvier, who Is noth ing If not wide awake, gave him to under stand ,that if he asked him officially to transmit to M. Jaurea. the intelligence of the measure which the German govern ment had officially adopted against him he would comply. If, on the other hand. Prince Radolln wanted him to advise M. Jaures In his official capacity he must beg to be excused. Radolln l Disappointed. So the ambassador having failed to shift an unwelcome task on M. Rouvler'a broad shouldera had to aet about It in person. He flew t? the Gare du Nord, expecting to catch M. Jaurea aa he waa on the point of leaving for Berlin, but the socialist leader was not here, as he had heard of Prince Buelow's note, and had decided on postponing his departure. On the following day Prince Radolln called on Mm at his residence, and officially communicated the chancellor's desires to him. They had a conversation which lasted a full hour, and afterward M. Jaures declared to hla friends that he waa perfectly satisfied with the courtesy shown to him on this occasion, although he could not, of course, compre hend the objection to his visit. Whatever may be the effect of Prince Buelow's blandlshmenta in France there fore, they have certainly done the social democracy a very good turn In Germany. The chancellor's manifesto haa steadied the socialist party, and it has given it a consciousness of Its international Influence which will enable It to obtain In the fu ture a more attentive hearing. The leading socialist papers publish In extenso this speech which M. Jaures would have delivered had Prince Buelow not frus trated this Intention by his note to tha German ambassador In Paris. Apart from Its socialist coloring M. Jaurea' apeech would have been an eloquent plea for Inter national peace. He claims for his party in all lands that It Is mainly owing to their efforts that tha Idea of peace Is permeating the world, and ha looks forward to the time rapidly approaching when war will be Im possible without the consent of the pro letariate. Speaking as a Frenchman, he olaims for his party that they have re linquished all Idea of a war of revenge with Germany. -Until, be says, the possibility of a war between France and Germany has been eliminated from the calculations of European statesmen, there can be no peace In Europe. M. Jaures writes In severe terms of the disadvantages which the alliance with Russia haa brought Franca, espe cially la th far east, where France did Continued on Third Pag ) . INDIA CRITICIZES BRODRICK Thinks Secretary Haa Failed to Treat Lord Carson In Proper Maaner. SIMLA, India, July 2J-(gpeclal Cable gram to Tha Bee.) The newspapers of India continue to criticise Mr. Brodrlck's dispatch to the viceroy regarding the change In the position and duties of the commandor-ln-chlc and the military mem ber of the council In tones strongly an tagonistic ti tha secretary of state.

Or, rather, he ap pears to have gloHed in empiiasizlng the severity of the blow. If It Is lelt that such a communication leaves the recipient only one chance of procedure It Is not to be wondered at. Yet If Lord C'urson cherished the Inten tion ascribed to him we trust he will re consider the question. First and last, India has spelt for him simple duty. However galling the situation, is it not his duty to persevere with mich strength as rimy be given to lilin? By remaining at his post he will serve India beet, and create an Impression whleh will write It self Indolllbly upon the hearts of the peo ple of India and ultimately upon that of Great Britain.

AUSTRIA MAY , HAVE A WAR Steps Taken to Coerre Hungary Should It Try to Secede from I'nlon. VIENNA, July 29. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) The aged emperor of Austria, evidently does not propone to be caught napping like the aged king of Sweden. There haa been so much talk regarding the possible peaceable separation of Hun gary, Austria playing the part of Sweden, Hungary the part of Norway, that the ruler of the dual kingdoms has apparently decided to put a stop'to it, and Is prepar ing to show the people of Hungary that any attempt at secession will be put down with the sword. The Alldeutsihs fiHatt' of Vienna Is authority for the statement that the mili tary authorities of Austria are preparing for the eventuality of a campaign against Hungary, should that country continue Its resistance to the emperor. The news Is correct. At the command of the heir to the throne, the Archduke Fran cis Ferdinand, who represents the emperor In the supreme command of the army, mil itary preparations are already being taken with a view to adopting forcible measures should Hungary secede or declare Its in tention to do so in open Parliament. 1 As It wan feared that Hungary might take this step the Hungarian Parliament on the day of its opening waa adjourned to September IB. The struggle between the Hungarian au thorities and the municipalities 1b becom ing acute and threatena serious mischief, no matter what may be the ultimate settle ment of the difficulties between Hungary and Austria. Fourteen cities, some of them the most prominent, have declared that they will pay no taxes, and will raise no recruits until the government that has the confidence of . the majority is elected.

July ?9.-(Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Bcarface, the Iroquois chief from eastern Canada, who la the patriarch of the Indian village at Earlecourt exhibition celebrated hla silver wedding this week ac cording to the Indian custom on the Thir tieth anniversary. The whole Indian popu lation, (representing several nations, all In feathers and war paint assembled In the railed space at the top of the village, and there solemnly went through an abbrevia ted form of the actual marriage ceremony which took place thirty years ago. For half an hour or more the chiefs harangued the squatting braves and squaws, and all sang curious old Indian songa, and the chiefs and the braves danced a war dance, with whirling tomahawks and knives. After Scarface had finished wooing hla bride In song, Mrs. Scarface, who blushed like a real bride, was carried out from the wigwam where she hod been hiding, and sat on the ground, back to back with her wooer, while all the nations declared them man and wife for ever and ever, with no appeal to the divorce court. Then, amid warwhoops and ear-piercing yells in marched bravea bearing poles over their shoulders from which were slung various presents offered to Scarface In memory of the event. Their manager gave a sliver tea set for Mrs. Scarf ace's log cabin side table. The Indian themselves gave Scar face a sliver crucifix, and the directors of Earlscourt gave a loving cup.

A revolt In the army Is being planned which will be of far greater Im portance than the recent uprising In the navy. An ultimatum to the czar demand ing certain political and military reforms Is being prepared In the name of th en tire army. It will be presented when the mobilization is completed. At that time 2U0.C00 young reservists will be artuad, under the command of officers largely drawn from the civil classes, and both officers and men are aald to be strongly tainted with disaffection.

READY FOR PUTTING DOWN TRACK TODAY lalon Pacific Officials on Duty All Mailt Watching the Situation, bnt at Late Hoar Burling ton Makes No Move. The Burlington made an attempt last night to steal a march on the Union Pa cific, but in some manner the plana mis carried. The Burlington had made all preparations to take snap Judgment and lay tracks on Ninth street, the use of which from Jones northward had been granted to the I'nlon Pacific by the city council. For this purpose It sent a large gang of men and material up from Lincoln under the command of Division Superin tendent Bignell, intending to lay tracks on the street after midnight, when It would be Impossible to secure a court order or other legal process which would stop the work. .The I'nlon Pacific people in some manner got wind of the scheme and before the big clock on the postolflce had tolled the l-.ni,. whlph markari thA advent nf SlindaV "cured a temporary injunction from Judgo Munger of the federal court, the United Statea marshal's force waa hustled out and the order served upon Mr. Bigneu and several other officers of the Burling ton. The Burlington men came up on a spe cial train and it carried sufficient material and men to have put down trackage the entire length of the street before Monday morning had not the order of court been secured. It had been anticipated that the Burling ton would not sit quietly by and see a rival secure possession of the valuable trackage lights If It waa possible to pre vent it, and from the fact that the move was so promptly detected the I'nlon Pa cific wag likely anticipating Just what did happen. At an early hour thla morning the Bur lington officials were in conference de ciding what they would A, but had made no move to put down trackage In defiance of the court order. The Union Pacific offlciala were In ses sion at headquarters and had men out watching every move made by their oppo nent. NO DELAY IN LAYING TRACKS Fnlon Pacific Will Get to Work on 1 Moth Street Soon a Possible. i "There will be no unnecessary or undue delay In this work," is the word that cornea from Union Pacific headquarters regarding the laying of the Ninth street tracks pro vided for In the ordinance which passed the council and was signed by the mayor. As has been stated in The Bee, all sur veya, plans and blue prints are made and as soon as the customary routine of work can be disposed of this track will be laid, The Union Pacific la anxious, as General Manager Mohler haa said, to have these tracks down, thus giving to Omaha a tre mendous advantage In building up the wholesale lnteresta which naturally belong In the district traversed by and adjacent to these prospective tracks. The track will come up Jonea atreet to Seventh, thence west on Seventh to Ninth and north on Ninth aa far as Capitol ave nue for the present and further north later on. The plans made by Chief Engineer Berry call for a double track from Jonea to Farnam street on Ninth and from there north to Capitol avenue single tracks. They contemplate the ultimate transformation of the red-light preclncta Into part of the wholesale district. When this is accom plished it la planned to extend the track on west from Ninth and Capitol to Twelfth street, connecting with the Illinois Central, thus forming a powerful nucleus for a net work of tracka within the wholesale dis trict. By a similar process Portland's Jobbing interests have been tremendously augmented and the bujk of credit has long ago been attributed, to A. L. Mohler, who came to Omaha from that city. "There la no surer way to build up the business Interests of a city," says Mr. Mohler, "and while Omaha is making such rapid strides commercially It la a good time to apply this method." "I think thst Tenth atreet Is the natural dividing line between the heavy Jobbers and the retail district. I did think at one time that the atreet cara should be run down Twelfth or Thirteenth street, so that the railroad tracks could be run up the alleys, but Tenth street Is the natural route to the two big depots over the via duct and should alwaya remain as such," says Mr. Mohler.

FEVER PANIC GROWS New Orleans Fears Oreater Lou from Quarantine Than from Disease. QUARANTINE LINES DRAWN TIGHT Interior Towns Befusing to Receive Many Classes of Merchandise. PASSENGER SERVICE IS DISARRANGED Local Trains Discontinued and Begnlai Excursion Bnns Abandoned. PROGRESS OF PLAGUE IS CHECKED Only Seventy-Five t'aaea Are Now I'nder Treatment Seven Death Yesterday All From One Source. NEW ORLEANS. July 29 The following la the report of the health authorities oa. yellow fever up to 6 p. m. today: New cases. 29. Cases to dnte, i56; Deaths todsv. 7. Deaths to date. 64. New foci, 2. Deducting the number of deaths snd tha number of recoveries It Is believed that there are not more than seventy-five cases tinder treatment. If that many. Considerable encouragement has been drawn from the fact that only two new foci have developed. One of these Is a nurse who attended a patient at a hospital and the other Is In the vicinity of Mllne burg, where there had been a suspicious case recently, but which had been spirited away before the authorities got hold of It. Quarantine Lines Drawn Tight. The most disquieting news In the situation today is the evidence that panlo Is increas ing In the smaller towns of Louisiana and Mississippi, and that a disposition Is grow ing to revive the disastrous commercial quarantine of 1S97, when some of the coun try towns even refused to receive Ice or hardware from New Orleans. Several towns In Tennessee and othera along the Mississippi valley road In Mississippi refuse to allow express matter of any kind to be put off; .Port Gibson will not take bread nor anything wrapped up In burlap that may be shipped from this city. Some of the Texas towns are asking that the mails be fumigated. The increase In the number of deaths and cases of yellow fever today Is not causing anxiety. All but. one of the dead are Italians or Austrinns. who hailed from the original focus of Infection. Of the new cases there Is only one point of Infection among tha best element of the population and that has been traced to the original Infection. No further points of Infection have been dis covered outside the city except near Wag yaman, In Jefferson parish, where Dr. Brady was sent by the state board. Louisi ana will not quarantine against Lumberton because of the caso In that town. Spread of J)lcase Prevented, The success of the ahyalclans In prevent ing serious outbreaks In new neighborhoods In which the disease has appeared Is, of course, taken to mean that practical results are being obtained from the thorough sys tem of screening which Is now In vogue. So thoroughly has the work been systematlaed that Instantly a cas Is reported represen tatives of the board, armed with screens and disinfectants, are hurried to the house of the sufferer and every precaution Is thereafter taken to mnke him or her Im mune to the attacks of the stegomyia. Meanwhile good results are showing from the establishment of the emergency hos pital, whjch Is serving to relieve certain districts of serious cases and thereby enabling expeditious disinfection of Infected premises. Cleaning of the City. The conference of the representatives of the health hoards of the various southern states which Dr. Souchon has called to meet here tomorrow is not likely to ma terialize. Dr. Souchon has received no acceptances of his Invitation. Report which have been sent out from here that there Is any conflict between the aclentlflo forces which are directing the fight against the fever are entirely misleading. Dr. Beverly Warner sent a message to the clergy appealing to them for assistance In the present emergency. "We ask," ha aald, "that you will urge your congrega tions, whether the believe in tha mos quito theory or not, that they will glv heady assistance to the authorities who are attempting to stamp out the mosquito aa at least one source of Infection." In connection with the street cleaning work, the mayor has now under consid eration a petition to set aside th two special days next week to be called street cleaning days, when all the forcea not engaged In sanitating the city will be sup plemented by additional Aggregations of helpers In an effort to complete the work. Panicky Feeling Spreads, The railroads continue to be seriously hampered by quarantines. The decision Of the conference of health authorltlea at Memphis to recommend a quarantine of the entire state of Tennessee against In fected points Is evidence of the spread of panicky feeling outside of New Orleans. Every day now some half dnaen llttia towns are suddenly scratched off the list of Open towns, and very often tha em bargo is clapped on ao suddenly that passengers are left there with tickets al ready purchased. Th Southern and Texas Pacific on the west bank of the river are heavy sufferers. It was said at the marine hospital officea that passengers from New Orleana wer no longer permitted to travel in Texas and only the most Insignificant statlona are open to Louisiana. Quarantine has been established so thoroughly along the line of some roads that big cards bearing bold, black letters have been posted In the ticket offices and depots announcing that all tickets bought for any point out of New Orleans are purchased at th pur chasers' risk and subject to tha restric tions of quarantine. Demand Fumigation of Freight. Local representatives of lines which run through Mississippi wer advised In tele grama today that no person from New Or leans would be permitted to travel on a train through that state wtihout a health certificate. Tills affects through passengers for the north, east and, west. Before they had received these orders ticket offices here had sold lurg numbers of ticket to people Intending to leave tomorrow and Monday and thereafter they were busy try ing to locate these ticket holdera In order to save them from being taken from trains and thrown Into detention camps In th adjoining states. In th interior town of aome of the nearby btates little attention has been paid to the mosquito theory and there haa been a demand for th fumigating of freight cara aent to New Orleans to haul filtgbt from ibat cltjr.
