vereally observed in Russia as a day
pf rest. v
The Russians had not been anxious
for a session, and the Japanese took
the initiative, and, througn the inter
mediary of Mr. Pierce, it was decided
to nostnone the sitting until Monday
morning. The situation therefore re
mains the same. It would perhaps not
be too muek to say that the general
feeling is more hopeful, in spite nf o-n
negotiations that before next Sunday
the plenipotentiaries will reacn
passe where a rupture will become inev
itable. This pessimistic view is cMet
upon the fact, so far as known, the two
big barriers to an agreement indem
nity and Sakhalin remain as high and
insurmountable as ever.
NEXT MOVE UP TO JAPS.
The real struggle is only postponed.
The main problems are no nearer solu
tion than when the plenipotentiaries
met. The principal reason for opti
mism lies in the fact that, confronted
with the absolute refusal of the Rus
sian reply to admit the discussion of
either indemnity or the cession of the
island of SoKhalin, the Japanese pro
posed1 to take up. the consideration of
the conditions seriatim. From this it
is assumed that the Japanese are pre
pared to yield or have reason to be
lieve a way will be found to overcome
the objections of their adversaries
when the crucial test comes.
An intimation comes from a high
eource that very strong outside influ
ences are at work on both sides,- and
that for the moment the effort is to
gain time. The plan of having Russia
Florida Requires Certificates.
Tampa, Fla., -Special. Dr. Joseph
Y. Porter, State Health officer of
Florida, has issued an order to ' the
effect that all passengers from Flori

The debate in Saturday's conference
over the first condition the recoghi-
BAROW X03IUBA, SENIOR JAPANESE PEACE
EKVOT.
tion of Japan's "preponderating influ
ence" over Korea, involving her right
to control the administration of the
hermit kingdom, use the littoral for
stragetic purposes, etc., was of a re
markable character. Indeed the posi
tion taken by Mr. Witte was sensa
tional in the extreme. His attitude re
veals plainly the Russian tactics. They
propose to raise before the world the
spectre of the "yellow peril." Russia
claims that Japan's present purpose
is to get a foothold on the Asiatic con
tinent from which to extend' her influ
ence and dominion.
Mr. Witte made no objection, bu he
declared that the words "preponderat
ing influence" did not adequately de
scribe what Japan proposed to do, and
he insisted that the language used
should show Japan's true purpose
which he contended was to make a Jap
anese province of Korea.
BASIS OF NEGOTIATION.
The cession of the Russian leases to
the Liaotung Peninsular, comprising
Port Arthur and Dalny.
The evacuation of the entire province
of Manchuria the retrocession to Chi
na of any privileges Russia may have
in the province and the recognition by
Russia of the principle of the "open
door."
The cession to Japan of the Chinese
-Eastern Railroad below Harbin, the
main line through northern Manchuria
to Vladivostock, to remain Russian
property.
The recognition of the Japanese pro
tectorate over Korea.
The grant of fishing rights to Japan
The grant of fishing rights to Japa
nese in the waters of the Siberian lit
toral northward from Vladivostock to
the Behring Sea.
The relinquishment to Japan of the
Russian warships interned in neutral
ports.
Finally a limitation upon the naval
strength of Russia in far Eastern
waters.
As a whole the terms are regarded
as exceedingly hard by the Russians.
In addition to the two principal condi
tions, which cannot be accepted under
Mr. Witte's instructions, those relating
to the limiting of Russia's naval power
in the far east and the granting of
fishing rights upon the Russian lit
toral are considered particularly of
fensive to the amour propro of their
country, and of such a humiliating
character as to be inadmissible.
For Station at Mobile.
Mobile, Ala., Special. The contract
was awarded in New York to the Gen
eral Supply and Construction Company
of that city for the building of a new
union passenger station in this city
by the Southern Railway at a cost of

Japs in Pursuit.
St. Petersburg, By Cable. General
Linevitch, in a telegram to the Emper
or, dated August 8, reports that the
Russian forces operating to the east
ward of the mandarin road advanced
August 5th towards a defile near the
village of Chagon, 24 miles south of
Taulu. The Japanese assumed the of
fensive and turned both flanks, com
pelling the Russians to retreat to the
northward. The Japanese followed in
pursuit and again encountered part
of the Russian force, which halted in
the Nadoulin gorge, but after a hot
fusilade they returned to the south
ward. The Russians in the Ha'ilung
cheng district, the general says, occu
pied the village of Yulangtse after
a skirmish.
Charleston .Sends Out Inspectors.
Charleston, "S. C, Special. Mayor
Rhett has proclamed a quarantine
a gainst yellow fever points, to take
effect Sunday, August 6. No passen-

Conditions For Past Week as Given
Out by the Department.
The North Carolina section of the
climate and crop service of the de
partment of agriculture, issues the
following official bulletin for the past
week :
The general dry condition of the
week ending Monday the 7th was
broken by the general rain through
out the State during the past week.
In most sections the rains were exces
sive causing the creeks to overflow
their banks, and thereby damaging an
immense amount of crops in 'the low
lands. Beaufort and Dare counties
in the eastern district, however, re
port that rain is needed in some sec
tions. There were a great many local
showers and crops are reported to
be in fine condition in many sections
of the eastern district. In the cen
tral district, corn and cotton was
much damaged in the lowlands and
in fact all crops were injured rather
than benefitted by the rains of the
past week. Heavy winds with hail
were reported from many sections in
the west and central portions of the
State doing a great deal of damage
to all crops and fruit.
Cotton has been improved to some
extent by the rain, but almost all sec
tions report that it is shedding. The
wet weather has caused rank growth
In Johnston county rust on cotton is
reported to be the most destructive
ever known; no rust reported in the
east ; and a few reports of rust in the
west.
In the east tobacco curing is com
pleted except in Hertford county, and
in Nash county it is being marketed.
In the central and west portions of
the State tobacco is not so far ad
vanced although some report curing
all done. Some tobacco in Johnston
county is beginning to fire at the bot
tom of the plants and it is thought it
will have to be cut sooner than de
sired. It is rotting some on sandy
land.
In general corn was not injured on
the high land, but on the lowlands
it was washed out, and in coses turn
ing yellow. In the east a fair crop is
expected; upland corn is looking well,
but lowland corn is injured to a con
siderable extent in the central por
tion; while in the west a fair crop is
reported, although some is yellowish
on the lowland.
Pulling foder is quite general
throughout the State, but wether hns
been unfavorable for saving the crop ;
rotting is reported in Rockingham
county. Peas are a good crop, but
shedding is reported. Sweet potatoes
Irish potatoes, turnips and peanuts'
doing fine. "Wheat threshing is still
carried on in some parts of the west.
Fruit is generally a failure, but
peaches are reported as good in Ire
dell county.
Rains reported: Raleigh 5.49;
Goldsboro 6.12 ; New Berne 1.22; Wel
don 2.90; Nashville 2.26; Foster 3.75;
Angier 9.61; Pomona 6.75; Lexington

Asheboro Wood and Iron Works, and
will henceforth be known as the Ashe
boro Wheelbarrow Manufacturing Co.
The class of work done here prior to
the fire gave great satisfaction to
both merchants and consumers and
orders are coming in daily for im
mediate shipment of these goods to
many points in the State. Mr. John
T. Mafit arriver from Tampa, Fla.,
and, having recently been elected
treasurer of the company will at once

into his body. Medical attendance was
promptly rendered to the injured man.
Montgomery, who is a mere lad, was
promptly arrested and is held for the
deed.

pil Company, on their way from Fort
Seneca, O., to Brookfield, O., in charge
bf a foreman. Engineer C. C. Poole,
pi the passenger train, was killed at
jiis post, while trying to reach for the
air brake, after seeing the headlight
of the freight train. His fireman,
Haefner, saved himself by jumping.
Two Coaches Telescoped.
The high speed of the passenger
train threw its locomotive and first
three coaches over on the engine of
the freight train, telescoping the
smoker and the car following. The for
ward cars of the freight train were
splintered to fragments.
Of the passengers in the smoker,
none escaped injury. Fortunately there
was no fire, but the heavy timbers of
the wrecked cars pinned down many
and prevented them from getting out
until assistance arrived.
As soon as possible after the wreck
occurred doctors were sent on a spe
cial train to the scene from Lorain.
The injured were hurried to Lorain
and placed in the hospital there. The
dead were conveyed to the morgue at

TEE OUTLOOK GROWS ALARMING
Official Record of New Cases Shows
Only 50, But 19 More Were Turned
in Just After the Closing Hour
Deaths Rise to 12 and Will Con
tinue to Increase Owing to Swollen
List of Cases Threats of Prosecu
tion Against Physicians Delinquent
in Reporting Patients Have Good
Results.
New Orleans, Special. Following is
the official -record up to 6 p. m. Sun
day: New cases, 50. Total cases to date,
963. )
Deaths, 12. Total deaths to date, 154.
New foci, 14. Total foci to date,. 202.
Cases under treatment, 343. j
The hoary increase in the number of
cases which began four or five days
ago is beginning to manifest itself in
the death list, which can be expected
to grow steadily for the next few days.
The number of new cases Sunday seems
small in comparison with Saturday's
record, but it is really nineteen short,
as that number of cases were turned in
by an inspector just after the hour for
dosing the report.
PROMINENT PEOPLE STRICKEN.
Among the cases is Louis Cucullu,
Jr., cashier of the People's Bank, who
resides far out on North Johnson
street. Another case is Maurice Ken
ny, ex-councilman- and ex-member of
the Legislature. Two of Kenny's
daughters were stricken Sunday. Only
five of the new foci are about Canal
street.
Surgeon White made a change in his
organization by which he hopes to ac
complish results much quicker. The
fumigation and screening work was all
done bya central department under
Doctor Gessner, which senUsquads out
on notification of cases by physicians.
In the afternoon Dr. White assembled
all of his smbordmates in conference
and decided to place the screening and
fumigation work under the several dis
trict headquarters. The present force
will be divided up among the district
surgeons, and Dr. Gessner will be given
charge of one of the districts.
CONCEALMENT MAIN TROUBLE.
Assostant Surgeon Corput has just
concluded a thorough investigation of
conditions in Algiers, that part of New
Orleans on the west bank of the Mis
sissippi river. There has been two cases
in Algiers since the outbreak of fever
and Dr. White determined to ascertain
by a house to house canvass if there
had been any spread from them. Dr.
Corput reported that he had found not
a single suspicious case, which indi
cates that the prompt , steps taken to
screen and fumigate the original cases
have been effective in preventing a
spread. Dr. White says that if he could
learn of every case in the city and ap
ply the proper methods immediately he
is confident that he could stamp out the
disease here in a short time.
The great cause of the spread has
been the concealment of cases and the
change of residence of people who have
been infected. Dozens of cases are on
record which show conclusively that
the people have moved away from a
house where infection had existed.
This Dr. White proposes to stop, and
while no drastic measures are being
talcen, he is enforcing his authority.
FORCING DOCTORS TO REPORT.
The effectiveness of the district head
quarters, which are making close in
vestigations of the 17 districts, is re
sponsible for a large number of the new
cases which have been reported during
the last few days, and as the efficiency
of that force increases, an increase in
the number of cases daily can be ex
pected. Physicians who have failed to
report cases that are discovered are
given an opportunity to correct their
omission, but a second offence will re
sult in prosecution under the law. This
has also brought out a large number
of cases that were under cover.
Patterson, which is the largest cen
ter of infection outside of th city, re
ports three new cases and the first
death. The victim is a young lady. She
died and this has naturally depressed
the spirits of the people. They have had
39 cases there so far. They have opened
an emergency hospital, which now has
seven patients.
At Bom Ami, in Calcasieu parish,
there is only one case of yellow fever,
with no new cases and no suspicious
cases.
An Ugly Infection Center.
An exceedingly ugly center or infec
tion was unearthed in St. Charlew' par
ish by Dr. Corput, of the Marine Hos
pital service. Two days ago he un-
I earthed six cases on the Diamond
plantation and he found two more
cases on that place and eleven cases
on the reserve plantation, eleven miles
further north, and one case on the
Sarpy plantation. It is believed that
over thirty Italians have . left this
group in the last week, but there is
no trace of them, nor will there be
unless infection should develop among
them at their places of refuge. Two of
the cases, on the Reserve plantation
died while Dr. Corput was there. This
plantation belongs to the Godchaux
estate, and Dr. Godchaux has taken
charge of the situation there and will
carry out the instructions of the Ma
rine Hospital Service. -
30 Cases in One Village.
Five more cases have developed at
Patterson, in St. Mary parish, making
30 cases in all there. While the infec
tion was taken there by Italians from
the infected district in New Orleans
the disease has spread among the resi
dents, and several ladies and children
are afflicted. Eight of the-patients are
convalescent. '
Dr. Horton, the State Board of
Health inspector, reached Tallulah
but has not reported yet whether the
ttlness there is yellow fever.
