Almost tropical rains are falling In Man

latine meat label was patented
en In June, 1901, the first con-
label wna awarded by the De
.' Agriculture. After the first
a secured from the department,
withdrew from his partner
i, he said, already practically
before that. His Interest In the
abllshment then was appraised.
Dr. Salmon had a talk today with Sec
retary Wilson, who Is Investigating a
number of matters In the bureaus of his
department. Dr. Salmon's partnership with
Mr. Howard lasted about six years. After
that time the Howard Printing company,
which was thus financed, did a large
amount of business with the bureau of
animal Industry, of which Dr. Salmon was
chief, and other bureaus of the depart
ment. Dr. Salmon said tonight that when
he met Mr. Howard the latter hod no
money. .
Dr. Salmon added that he had had ab
solutely no Interest In the meat label di
rectly or Indirectly since July 1, 1901.
Secretary Wilson said tonight that Mr.
Howard had come to the department bring
ing with him the hooks of his firm and
showed to him that no one In the depart
ment had any connection wtih the com
pany since Dr. Salmon had withdrawn.
Regarding allegations of favoritism to the
great packing houses In the assignment
of government meat Inspectors, Secretary
Wilson and Dr. Salmon, chief of the bu
reau of animal Industry today expressed
the opinion that there had not been any
undue discrimination, although conceding
that there had been more or less complaint
from small meat packers because of the
department's Inability to send meat in
spectors to them promptly.
Dr. Salmon says that the number of In
spectors la not large enough and that the
department Is required under the law to
consider the fact that the small com
panies are not engaged In slaughtering for
the export trade.

"If any person has reason to suspect the
Integrity of any of my employes, now is the
time for him to speak," said the secretary
today. "I am In the inspecting business
now and want to get at the bottom of any
rumora or facta that may be brought to
the department. The weather bureau and
the bureau of animal Industry have been
aald to hold scandals. I accepted tha
charges against these bureaus as a basia
for investigation and I have found that the
chargea are without foundattoha."
Mrs. John Hyde, wife of ihe former chief
of the bureau of statistics, who Is now in
Europe, visited the, department today In an
effort to collect the salary due her husband.
She was told that the bureau was under

PRESIDENT ISSUES NECESSARY ORDER
ENGINEER LOSES HIS LIFE
ST. PAUL. Minn., Aug. 4 Although con
dlilona approaching a tleup have not yet
developed as a result of the strike of the
telegraphers on the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads. Increasingly
serious delays are being caused In the mov
ing of traffic. Tonight the effect of the
strike Is becoming manifest In the moving
of passenger trains, which the officials by
strenuous efforts have been able so far to
keep practically on schedules. Information
given out at the Union depot In St. Taut
shows that while nearly all the morning
trains of both roads were on time, mid-day
and afternoon trains have been coming in
at all ours. The Northern Pacific Coast
Limited, due at 6:M this evening, will ar
rive tomorrow morning at 7:40, more than
fifteen hours late. The Twin City Express,
on the same road, due at 7:40 this morning,
arrived at 4:. p. m., nearly nine hours late.
Train No. was thirty mtnutes late.
The Great Northern haa been more for
tunate today, the Flyer, due at 2:45, being
slightly less than three hours late. The
fast mall, due at 10:40, will arrive shortly
after midnight.
What the outcome of the freight situation
will be Is problematical. The railroad offi
cials any that they are taking all the busi
ness offered and will be able to take care of
It. The operators, however, are awsre of
the difficulty with which freight Is being
moved and predict that when the heavy
movement of crops begins presently the tie
up will be effective. Perishable fruits were
received In many places today and many
refrigerator cars were started In an effort
to make local deliveries If possible. Iron
ore traffic at the head of the lakes Is mov
ing without delay.
Perham Denies Desertions.
Reports from official sources on the num
ber of union deserters and the number of
stations opened vary widely. General Man
ager Horn of the Northern Paclflc and
Genenil Superintendent Slade of the Great
Northern say that they are continuing to
get men from the union ranks and Presi
dent Perham of the Telegraphers' union de
clares1 that these statements are greatly
exaggerated In each rase. Numbers of sta
tions are being opened, nevertheless, on
both roads, clerks from the general offices
of the roaas and other employes, Iwsldes
dispatchers, being used to augment the
ranks of the strike-breakers. Those who
are not telegraphers are assigned to smaller
stations to take care of the express and
freight traffic.
General Manager Horn of the Northern
Paclrlc, In commenting on the day's de
velopmenls, said tonight:
The strike operators have absolutely
failed to tie up the Northern Paclflc or t
interfere to any great degree wnn me
movement of trains. Our freight and pas
senger service Is being maintained effec
tively ana without a break. (

eralled, together with the tender and two
baggage' ca,rs. At this point the rails are
laid on a steep embankment which forms

BARRETT LOOKS FOR FACTS
Interviews Cnllfornlans on Subject of
Boycott nf American Goods
by China.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 4.-John Bar
rett, the newly appointed minister to Co
lombia, Is here In connection with the
commercial relations existing between the
United States and China, particularly as
regards the boycott Inaugurated by the
Chinese guildH against American products.
He Insists, however, that Ills mission Is
not of -aa-nfflclal rharacter. but simply to
acquaint himself with the feeling of the
people of the coast as to the boycott and
Interview some of the merchants who are
engaged In the Oriental trade.
Mr. Barrett, while conceding that the
Chinese guilds are all-powerful In their
country, Is of the opinion that the present
alarm shown by the people of this country
over the action of the Chinese Is un
necessarily exagperted. He firmly believes
that whatever grievances the Chinese
guilds have will goon be dispelled when
they are made to realize that our govern
ment is disposed to act fairly with them
In tha matter of immigration.
He is also of the opinion that our future
policy as regards the Orient will depend
much upon the results of the peace con
ference between the representatives of
Japan and Rusals, arrd predict that the
next two years will witness a great change
In the policy of the' United States. Such
a change would be attended with a no
ticeable Improvement of our commercial
relations In the far east.
ATTEMPT TO DESTROY SHIP
French Captain Reports Finding De
tonating Cap la Hold of
Hla Vessel.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4. An attempt
to blow up a ship In mldocean has been
reported by Captain C. Touse of the
French ship Asnieres. which has arrived
here from Swansea, England, loaded with
coal. He left that port In January last,
and six 'weeks later, when far out at sea
doien rapped fuses, such as are used
by miners to explode their charges of
dynamite, were discovered In the hold of
the ship among the coal. Had one of
the fuses become Ignited by a shock In a
part of the hold where coal gas had ac
cumulated the ship would undobtedly have
bee.i blown up. Two or three of them had,
exploded, hut fortunately at points where
there was no gas and consequently no
damage was done.
The presence of the fuses, among the coal
was discovered only by accident when some
men went to the hold to level the coal and
found them.
The Asnieres belong to the Soclete
Anonyme des Iongs Codrrlers Arancas of

NEW ORLEANS. Lfl,. Aug 4-Wlth no
Intention of admitting the fever situation
to bo beyond control, hut In the hope of
reviving confidence here and elsewhere In
the south, official and business interests
decided today to send a request to Presi
dent Roosevelt to have the United States
government assume full charge of the
struggle now In progress to wipe out yel
low fever from New Orleans. The public
approves the action t.iken. Expectations
Is that within the next two days Surgeon
General Wyman, with all the resources of
the government, will be enlisted actively
In the campaign.
The action taken was the result of a meet
ing held late today at the Cotton exchange.
It was the consensus of opinion that if
government control was resolved upon there
would be an Immediate restoration of con
fidence throughout Ixnilslana and the
other states In the south where there has
been criticism of the local authorities for
not sooner making public the existence of
the fever. It was the belief of those pres
ent that General Wyman Is able to send
a force of physicians to New Orleans
thoroughly equipped for the handling of
a yellow fever situation, because of their
experience In Cuba, Mexico and at dif
ferent points In the I'nited States, and
that the government would have the fa
cilities for enforcing a scientific cam
paign not possessed by the local authori
ties. Immediately after the meeting a tele
gram sinned by the mayor and other In
terests represented was addressed to Gov
ernor BlanChard telling him of the action
taken.
o Additional Cause for Alarm.
The announcement of the action taken at
first created some alarm In the city, grow
ing out of the fact that it meant that the
situation had grown entirely beyond con
trol, but that alarm was allayed when It
became known that the authorities had
acted simply In the belief that the prompt
action now In turning over the direction
of affairs to the marine hospital service,
In whom there Is supreme confidence here,
would almost cerlainlly avert an epidemic.
At a conference at the city hall It waa de
cided that Mayor Behrman should issue a
proclamation requiring every business
house In the city to dose Its doors on
Wednesday next In order that employes
might, take a hand In the general cleaning
movement that has been Inaugurated. Mer
chants are to be asked to furnish their
carta and floats to assist In carrying away
refuse. A thousand carts will be required
In the work. A special appeal Is to be ad
dressed to householders to co-operate in tha .
sanitary campaign by the thorough clean
ing of their backyards.
The nayor decided to borrow an addi
tional I Hu k) from the fiscal agents to assist
In the work.
Today the Board of Health instituted a
new rule requiring its Inspectors to make
prompt report of cases. To that order was
due the fact that twenty cases had been
announced early In the afternoon as oc
curring during the day. Testerday the 3
o'clock report was of seven new cases and
two deaths. The announcement at o'clocK
that there were flity-four cases and flvo
deaths was due to the fact that the Inspec
tors turn their cases In In bunches late In
the evening and had a most disquieting af
fect on the public, which had been led M
believe that the situation waa Improving.
St. Tammany Parish Immune. ,
Hundreds of people are temporarily mov
lng out of New Orleans Into St. Tammany
parish. St. Tammany is practically the
only nearby haven to which local people
can go. The parish has refused to put on a
quarantine and has opened its doors to all
refugees. That is due to the fact that a
case of yellow fever haa .lever developed
there even In the most serious epidemics
here. Cases have been taken to the parish,
but whether the patient recovered or died
there has never been any extension of ths
Infection. The reason for the Immunity of
St. Tammany is that the stegomyla has
never existed there.
' Because of the rigidity of the quaran
tines Instituted by, some of ths parishes in
Louisiana and Texas, the Southern Paciils
had to suspend passenger traffic and It has
also refused considerable of the freight of
fered to It. General Freight Agent Fay
