Little var iation from the steady improvement of the past week marked yesterday's numerical record of the yellow fever situation. The variation was in the nature of improvement,' for with a light death list this is assurance that the fever has at present no tendency to assume a virulent form. Confidence continues to grow and it -is believed that if the favorable conditions at present are maintained during the first half of September communities which now have their doors closed to New Orleans will be inclined to re-open them for the movement of freight. Many of the country districts are suffering as severely as is the city by the interruption of communication other- and advices received here indicate that they will be glad when normal traffic Is resumed. If there is amelioration of the quarantine restrictions by tne middle of September New Orleans will in finitely be better off than during the fever visitations of 18y7-98.

Quarantines much more rigid than those at present were imposed, NEGRO ASSOCIATION 1 IN SESSION 1 " i Second j Day-Election of Officers.
