It is expected the Commissioners will shortly be informed that her Majesty's Government regret being unable to accede to their proposals, but la willing to listen to any other plan they may suggest. But both parties to the conference know that no other practical scheme can be advanced.

They attribute their failure to the opposition of th banker and of the London Times. Until these force were aroused all signs pointed to tbe co-operation of the British Government. Hugh C. Smith, Governor of the Bank of England, said to-day to a representative of the Associated Press: The bank Is a private company without any Government control, and is not responsible to tbe Government, except In the terms of its The Government can not issue any orders relative to th bank reserve.

IS. Before 7 o'clock this evening the one hundred mark of death during the present period of yellow fever prevalence had been reached. When the Board of Health closed Ita books last night there had been ninety-three fatal cases. Between last night and nightfall to-day seven deaths were reported. TtU century of deaths has occurred as among lens than 900 case that have been reported to the board since early in September, when the first case made its appearance In New Orleans.

Aa usual, however, to-day's record has been swelled by the terrible criminal neglect of the poorer classes. The record to-day was by -no means reassurta. Early this evening the new cases exceeded thirty, and the deaths had reached seven, and heretofore the greatest number of deaths in a single day has been nine. The cases, as on other days, have bobbed up in all directions. The quarantine system Is still In effect, bat it does not seem to restrain the spread of the infection, and the opinion seems to be borne out that yellow fever la not st all contagious, but atmospherically infectious.
