Porthsmouth, Special. No prog ress was made with the peace negotia tions over Sunday. They stand exact ly where they did Saturday night. The session of the plenipotentiaries which was to have been held Sunday after noon was postponed by mutual agree ment out of reverence to the fact that It was the Holy Sabbath, which is uni- m Sf. sr.nnrrs witte. ;exioe urssiAS teace KSVOT. vereali- observed in Russia as a day of rest. The Russians had not been s nylons for a session, and the Japanese took the initiative, and. throca the i:. c mcdiary of Mr. Pierce, it was icvidd to postpone the sitting until Monday J morning. The situation therefore re- i mains the S5me. It would perhaps not i be too much to say that the general ' feeling is more hopeful, in stnv ' o-"i ; negotiations that before next Sunday the plcTilpoten;i:'ries -;'. : ' passe where a rupture will become inev itable.

The real struggle i.; only postponed. The main problems are no nearer solu tion than when the plenipotentiaries met. The principal nvison for opti mism lies in the fact that, confronted with the absolute refusal of the Rus sian reply to admit t';r ('isru.-.sion of either indemnity or trie cession of the island of Sokhaiin, the Japanese pro posed 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 he fi.-.m.l to overcome the objections of their adversaries when the crucial t'-.-t coms. An intimation tomes from a high source 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, Fia., Special. Dr. Joseph Y. Porter, Slate Health officer of Florida, has i.-sueri an order to the effect that ail passengers from Flori da from the fever infected districts must secure certificates and identifi cation paper:; from Surgeon Werten burgcr, of the .Marine Hospital ser vice, stationed in Atlanta. Tore Out Heart of Victim. Jacksonville, i'ia., Special. Samuel Simmons, a wealthy naval stores and saw-mill man, and his son, Eli Sim mons, were both shot, and killed about fifteen miles from here by Thomas His er, who enters the plea of self-defence. The bodies of father and son were found in the tnr. woods, near the pub lic road. Th? f-hler Simmons was shot through the heart by a full charge of buckshot and the heart was found on the ground a.bot-.t a foot from the body it having been evidently torn out by hand after the shooting. There were seven bullet wounds in the body of Eli Simmons. He was also shot in the back with a charge of birdshot. Fever Expert Sent Back From Pana ma. Washington, Special. Past Assist ant Surgeon R. H. Von Ezdorf, of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, has been ordered to proceed from Colon to New Orleans for duty in the campaign against yellow fever. Surgeon Von Erzdorf is an expert in yellow fever mataers and has been on duty with the Isthmian canal com mission in that line of duty. Exports of Manufactures. Washington, Special. Statistics compiled by the Department of Com merce and Labor show that the ex ports of manufacturers in the fiscal year just ended amounted to $543,620, 279, "not only the largest on record, but in excess of the combined exports of all articles in the centennial year, 1870, and nearly $140,000,000 more than the total imports and exports of the covin ry at the close of the Civil Wa..-.': The- growth in the exporta tions and manufactures is shown to have largely exceeded the growth in population.

Tin' debate in Saturday's conference over the first condition tho recogui- in .rO? . f&si isifeV- mm EASOS KOMfUA, KEMOIi JArA'ES3 TEACE ENVOY. tion of Japan's "preponderating influ ence" over Korea, involving her right to control the administration of the hermit kingdom, use the littoral for tragetic purposes, etc., was of a re markable character. Indeed the posi tion 1c!;en by Mr. Witte was sensa tional in the extreme. His at' Uide 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 anil dominion. Mr. witte made no objection, but 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 . (intended 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 ot 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 a half a million of dollars. Tho roads using the station will be the Southern, Mobile & Ohio, Jackson and Kansas City and Mobile & Bay Shore. 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 tho 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 Hailting 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 against yellow fever points, to take effect Sunday, August 6. No passen gers will be permitted to enter the city unless they can establish beyond question that they have been out of the infected district for ten days. In spectors have been detailed at all junc tion points to examine the trains. Motorman Killed in Electric Car Col lision. Norfolk, Va., Special. A head-on collision between electric trains of the Greenview division of the Norfolk Railway and Electric Light Company's system this evening resulted in the death of Motorman Sydney Thomas, formerly of Lynchburg, and the slight injury of Robert Tait and wife, of this city; Charles Gibbs, of Berkeley, and John Grimstead, all passengers. The railroad authorities say the col lision was due to disobedience of or ders. Both trains were badly dam- MAKING SOME PROGRESS Three Articles of Agreement Were Adopted, and the Real Business Ex pected to Open Soon. Portsmouth, N. H., Special. Al though very rapid progress was made with the peace negotiations Monday three of the twelve articles which con stitute the Japanese conditions of peace having been agreed to by Mr. Witte and Baron Rosen on behalf of Russia, neither of the two articles to which Mr. Witte in his reply returned an absolute negative was reached. The crisis, therefore, is still to come. The ces sion of Sakhalin comes fifth in the list. The three "articles," as they are offi cially designated in the brief communi cations authorized to be given to the press, which were disposed of are in substance as follows: First, Russia's recognition of Japan's 'preponderating influence" and special position in Korea, which Russia hence forth agrees is outside of her sphere of influence. Japan binding herself to recognize the suzerainty of the reign ing family, but with the right to give advice and assistance to improve the civil administration of the empire. BOTH TO QUIT MANCHURIA. Second, mutual obligation to evacu ate Manchuria, each to surrender all special privileges in that province, mu tual obligations to respect the "terri torial integrity" of China and to main tain the priciple of equal opportunity for the commerce and industry of all nations in that province (open door.) Third, the cession to China of the Chinese Eastern Railway from Harbin southward. There never was any question about the acceptance on the part of Mr. Witte of these "articles," the first two cov ering in more emphatic form the inten t'ons of Japa in the diplomatic strug gle which preceded hostilities. The third is a natural consequence of the result of the war . ROAD CHINA'S WITH JAP LIEN. The cession of the railrond, the build ing of which cost Russia an immense rum. estimated by some at between fSCO.OOO.OOO and $200,000,000, is to Chi na. China and Japan, therefore, will arrange between themselves the meth od by which the former is to be remu nerated, and through this financial op eration Japan might have very consid erable portion of her claim for the "expenses for the war" liquidated. The railroad is ostensibly the property of the Russo-Chinese Bank, although built by government money, advanced through the bank, and since its comple tion operated, managed and policed by the Russian government. Japan can not take the railroad herself. To place solf in Russia's shoes regarding the railroad would be militarily to control the destinies of the three provinces of Manchuria which she has promised to return to China. But Japan is enti tled to reimbursement for the expense to which she has been put in restoring the railroad below the present position of Lincvitch's army, rebuilding the bridge and nariowmjr the gauage. It China could not find fho money, some ether power or powers might do so and the road would be hypothecated to the powers which advanced the money, as other Chinese roads are to those which advanced the money for their construction. Three Articles Disposed Of. Portsmouth, N. H., Special. The fol lowing official communications were is sued : "In the morning sitting of the four teenth of August, article first was dis posed of, and the plenipotentiaries pro ceeded with the discussion of article two. The meeting adjourned at 1 o'clock to be resumed at 3 o'clock." "In the afternoon meeting of the con ference of August 11, articles two and three were discussed and disposed of and at 0 o'clock the conference ad journed until Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock." Did Net Whip Convict to Death. Atlanta, Ga., Special. State War den J. C. Moore returned from Carters ville Monday, where he went to investi gate the death of the convict, Liddell, who was said to have been whipped to death by J. W. Tierce, the deputy war den at the Sugar Hill camp. Mr. Moore made a very careful investigation and reported that the prisoner died from natural causes. To Investigate Tobacco Errors. Nashville, Tenn., Special. Congress man John W. Gaines, of this district, has received assurances from Washing ton that the Federal grand jury will investigate the alleged tobacco errors made in the Agricultural Department some days ago. Congressman Gaines requested the President to have the papers in the case turned over to the Federal grand jury, and he received word that this has been done. Fatal Wreck Near Macon, Ga. Macon, Ga., Special. In a head-on collision tw-o miles from Macon be tween a north-bound Central of Geor gia passenger train and a south-bound freight at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon two were killed and three were so se riously injured that death will probably result. Shifting His Strength. Gunshu Pass., By Cable. Field Mar shal Oyama apparently is changing his dispositions and reducing his forces in Manchuria to augment those in Korea, where his front extends through Tcha bootoun. Tchantaaou, Tshaketzy and Manchentz, constituting an uninter rupted series of powerful fortifications, mounted with seige guns. Train Kills Two In Auto. Rutland, Vt., Special.

THE FEVER STATUS Spread to Different Sections of the City Unexpected THE 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, 9U3. Deaths, 12. Total deaths to date, 154. New foci, 14. Total foci to date, 202. Cases under treatment, 343. The heavy increase in the number of cases which began four or five days ;o is beginning to manifest itself in the death list, which can be expected grow steadily for the next few days, e number of new cases Sundnv spnm: small in comparison with Saturday's ecora, Dut it is really nineteen short. inai numuer oi cases were turned in an inspector lust after the hour frr by losing tne report. PROMINENT PEOPLE STRICKEN. Among the cases is Louis r.iwniin Jr ., cashier of the People's Bank, who esides far out on North Johnson treet. Another case is Maurice Ken- nj ex-councilman and ex-member of the Legislature. Two of Kenny's daughters were stricken Sunday. Only nve ot tne new foci are about Canal street. Surgeon Wh'te made a change in his. irganization by which he hopes to ac omplish results much nnickpr Thn fumigation and screening work was all done by a central department under Doctor uessner, which sent squads out on notification of cases by physicians. in tne atternoon Dr. White assembled ll of his subordinates in conference find decided to nlace the screening and fumigation work under the several dis trict headquarters. The present force viii oe aiviaed up among the district itirgeons. and Dr. Gessner will be given harge of one of the districts. CONCEALMENT MAIN TROUBLE. Assostant Surgeon Corput has just oncluded a thorough investigation of onditions in Algiers, that nart of New Orleans on the west bank of the Mis- lssippi river. There has been two eases in Algiers since the outbreak of fever and Dr. White" determined to ascertain ty 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 piompi steps taken" to screen and fumigate the original cases have been effective in preventing a spread. Dr. White says that if he could learn oi every case in the city and ap ply the proper methods immediately he is connaent that he could stamp out the disease here in a short time. The great cause of the snread 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 wnne no drastic measures are being taken, he is enforcing his authority. FORCING DOCTORS TO REPORT. The effectiveness of the district hnai- quarters, which are making close in vestigations of the 17 rfistrii-ta i re sponsible for a large number of the new cases winch have been reported during tne last tew days, and as the effieionev of that force increases, an increase in tne number ot 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 ot cases mat were under cover. Patterson, which is the larsrest cen ter of infection outside of the city, re ports three new cases and the first death. The victim is a young lady. She died and this has nat.ura.llv rtpirKS!ori the spirits of the people. They have had y caaes mere so far. They have opened in emergency hospital, which now has seven patients. At Bon Ami. in Calcasieu narish there is only one case of yellow fever, wun no new cases and no suspicious cases. An Ugly Infection Center. An exceedingly ugly center or infec tion was unearthed in St. Charles' par ish by Dr. Corput, of the Marine Hos pital service. Two days ago he un earthed six cases on the Diamond plantation and he found two more cases on that place and eleven cases on tho 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 Godehaux estate, and Dr. Godehaux 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. AVhile 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 illness there is yellow fever. President Wires Condolence. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Special. Cardinal Gibbons has received the following tel egram from President Roosevelt: "I am deeply shocked and grieved at the death cf my beloved friend, Arch-Bishop Chappelle. His death is one cf the most lamentable losses in the course of the outbreak of fever in New Orleans, which is causing such sympathy and concern through out the nation, "THEODQRP ROOSEVELT." PRESIDENT SPOKE TO MINERS President Roosevelt Gave Some Splen did Advice. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Special. From every section of the anthracite region miners and temeprance workers came here, thousands arriving on the early trains, and before daylight crowds of people with lunch boxes and umbrel las had camped out in advantageous spots to await the arrival of President Roosevelt. The Catholic Total Abstinence Union delegates transacted but little business this morning, and at noon the ten thousand uniformed cadets and soldiers of the two regiments of the order pa raded. This parade ended in time for the regiments to line the streets and keep back the great crowds. Before the President's train came to a full stop a great shout went from the enor mous crowd assembled at the station, which increased into a roar as the President stepped briskly from the train. The President was met by the local reception committee, which in cluded Father Curran and John Mitch ell. The streets along the route from the station to the Susquehanna river, where the speakers' stand was erected, were lined with a solid mass of people. Many of them had been standing at favorite places for hours. The Presi dent's reception as he was rapidly driv en over the route was a tremendous one. The President appeared to be ex tremely pleased at the demonstration and kept bowing to the right and left. The crowd at the speakers' stand was so noisy that it took several minutes to quiet the enthusiasm and permit the exercise to begin. Those who spoke were President Roosevelt, Cardinal Gibbons, President Mitchell, Mayor Kirkdall and Father Curran. John Mitchell, in introducing the President, made a long defence of trade unionism. The President then spolte as follows: PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. I am particularly glad to speak to this audience of miners and their wives and children ,and especially to speak under the auspices of this great tem perance society. In our country the happiness of al lthe rest of our people depends most of all upon the welfare o fthe wage-worker and the welfare of the farmer. If we can secure tho wel fare of these two classes we can be reasonably certain that the community as a whole will prosper. And we must never forget that the chief factor in securing the welfare alike of wage- worker and of farmer, as of everybody else, must be tho man himself. The only effective way to help any body is to help him help himself. There are exceptional tiroes when any one of us needs outside help, and then it should be given freely; but normally each one of us must depend upon his own exertions for his own success. Something can be done- by wise legisla tion and by wise and honest adminis tration of the laws; that is, something can be done by our action taken in our collective capacity through the State and nation. INDIVIDUAL MAN PARAMOUNT. Something more can be done by com bination and organization among our selves in our private capacities as citi zens, so long as this combination or organization Is managed with wisdom and integrity, with instance upon the rights of those benefited and yet with just regard for the rights of others. But in the last analysis the factor most influential in determining any man's success must ever be the sum of that man's own qualities, of his knowledge, foresight, thrift and cour age. Whatever tends to increase his self-respect, whatever tends to help him overcome the temptations with which all of us are surrounded, is of benefit, not only to him, but to the whole com mur.ity. No one society can do more to help the wage-worker than such a temper ance society as that which I am now addressing. It is of incalculable con sequence to the man himself that he should be sober and temperate, and it is of even more consequence to his wife and his children; for it is a hard and cruel fact that in this life of ours the sins of the man are often visited most heavily upon those whoso welfare should bo his one special care. THE DRUNKARD'S FAMILY. For the drunkard, for the man who loses his job because he cannot control or will not control his desire for liquor and for vicious pleasure, we have a feeling of anger and contempt mixed with our pity; but for his unfortunate wife and little ones we feel only pity, and that of the deepest and tenderst kind. Everything possible should be done to encourage the growth of that spirit of self-respect, self-restraint, self-reliance, which, if it only grows enough, is certain to make all those in whom it shows itself move steadily upward to ward the highest standard of American citizenship. It is a proud and respon sible privilege to be citizens of this great self-governing nation; and each of us needs to keep steadily before his eyes the fact that he is wholly unfit to take part in the work of governing others unless he can first govern him self. He must stand up manfully for his own rights; he must respect the rights of others; he must obey .the law, and he must try to live up to those rules of righteousness which are above and behind all laws. This applies just as much to the man of great wealth as to the man of small means; to the capitalist as to the wage worker. And as one practical point, let me urge that in th eevent of any difficulty, especially if it is what i3 known as a labor trouble, both sides should show themselves willing to meet, willing to consult, and anxious each to treat the other reasonably and fairly, each to look at the other's side of the case and to do the other justice. If only this course could be generally followed, the chance of industrial dis aster would be minimized. To Convey Special Government. Washington, Special. The cruiser Galveston, which arrived in Hampton Roads, Va., is taking on coal under hurry orders, preparatory to making a trip to Santo Domingo. She is assign ed by the Navy department, at the in stance of the State Department, to the duty of transporting Professor John H. Hollander and his secretary to San Domingo. The professor is to contin ue the prosecution of his inquiry into Dominican finances and resources. Injunction Against Boycott. Jacksonville. Fla., Special. The strike and lockout of union carpenters here w-as taken into the courts by the Builders' Exchange asking for an in junction restraining the Structural Building Trades Union from placing one of tbe members of the exchange on the unfair list, thus virtually boycott ing him. The temporary injunction was granted by Judge Call, who set the case for hearing next Monday.

Engineer C. C. Poole, of the passenger train, was killed at his post, while trying to reach for the air brake, after seeing the headlight of the freight train. His fireman, llaefncr, saved himself by jumping. Two Coaches Telescoped. The high speed of tho 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 w as 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 Lorain, awaiting identification and disposition. Steamer Aground. Philadelphia, Sepcial.

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 endinir 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 iocai showers and croiw are reported to be in line 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 i-atlier than benefitted bv the rains of the past week. Heavy winds with hail were reported trom many sections m 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 reoort that it is shedding, lhe 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 ot rust in the west. In the east tobacco curing s 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.
