Ir. White of the United marine

was adoDted calline. unon tho :
ITnited States to take charge of the.
iever and quarantine situation. The
resolution adonted , follows:
"Resolved, That this meeting endorse
the proposition to ask the United
States government to take-control' of
the yellow fever situation in New Or
leans, and the governor of the stats
and the mayor of the city be request
ed to take immediate steps to' carry
this -proposition into effect. Further,
that the hearty co-operation of the
sitaye (and city government bbard,
parish medical society and of the mer
chants and people generally be pledged
to such action as may be taken by the
government."
The resolution was adopted by the
meeting with only one dissenting vote.
Mayor Behrman declared that he
strongly favored the action taken and
that he, as mayor, would surrender
any power over the municipality to
the federal government necessary to
carry out the purpose of the resolu
tion, lor would give any assistance
to the government the city could give.
The resolution was telegraphed to
Governor Blanchard at Baton Rouge.
It is understood that the action rneets
with his full approval. He will prob
ably convey the resolution to Presi
dent Roosevelt.
- -This action has been under consider
ation from the first and several pe
titions were signed to that effect,
but there was a disposition not to
act prematurely but to see whether the
health authorities of the southern
states could not be induced to . act to
gether in an intelligent quarantine
to stamp out the fever, or if stamping
out were impossible at once to pre
vent the demoralization and inhumanity
of shotgun quarantines. At first it
looked as though that was possible, but
within a week the old panic seized on
the people in many localities, and since
then the situation has gone from bad
to worse. It is believed, therefore, that
the time has come to ask for action
on the part of a disinterested party like
the. federal government, to intervene
between the bitterness and the preju
dice of state and county lines and to
secure peace.
It is frankly admitted in New Orleans
that the situation is not as good as
hoped for and that the disease has not
yielded to the sanitary methods adopt
ed. The fight, however, is being kept
up as energetically as ever, and will be
kept up with the idea of holding down
the fever.

church has returned to . New Orleans.

Russian Forces on Sakhalin
Island Surrender
The Governor, Seventy-two Officers
and 3,200 Men in Hands of the
Japanese Early Battle Expected
on the Tumen River
Toklo, Aug. 4. A report giving de
tails of the final pursuit and surrender
of a majority of the .Russian garrison
on Sakhalin Island has been received
as follows :
'An - Inadequate cavalry column on
the afternoon of July 28 attacked the
enemy south of Paleo and routed him,
driving him southward, capturing two
field guns besides a number of rifles
and a quantity of ammunition.
"On July 29 the cavalry, being rein
forced, vigorously pursued the enemy
south of Taylan, which lies 25 miles
south of Rykoff.
"The enemy halted at Onol, 25 miles
south of Taylan, and at 5 o'clock on
the morning of July 30 sent a letter
under a flag of truce to the Japanese
commanding officer from Gen. Liapnoff,
the Russian governor, sajlng that the
lack of bandage material and medicines
and the consequent inability to succor
tne wounded compelled him from a
sense of humanity to terminate hostili
ties. "The commander of the Japanese
force replied, demanding the delivery
of all war supplies and property of tha
Russian government, the uninjured and
the delivery of ''all maps, records and
papers relating to the' Russian civil and
military administration, and requiring
their delivery in reply at 10 o'clock on
the morning July 31, otherwise an
attacking movement would immedi
ately be started. .
"Colonel Tolivitch, on behalf of Gov
ernor Liaonoff, met Col. Koizumi,
Japanese chief of staff, on the morning
of July 31 and accepted the proposed
terms.
"Governor Liapnofl', seventy officers
and 3,200 men of the Russian garrison
then surrendered.
"The spoils, consisting of clothing,
papers and military supplies, are now
under investigation."
It is reported that the advance guards
of the hostile forces south of the Tumen
river are within rifle range. An early
conflict is regarded as inevitable.
Peace No Longer Desired

xne .oaiance oi ms oaiary
Washington, Aug. 4. Secretary Wil
son has determined not to take his an
nual vacation during the progress of
the department of agriculture
He had !
intended to leave Washington August
10 to accompany Chief Forester Pinchot
on a tour of the western forest re
serves. "If any person has any 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
rumors or facts that may be brought
to my attention. I am making in
quiries on my own hook, but at the
same time I shall bring the search
light to bear bny any employes whose
actions may be the subject of the
suspicions of outsiders.
"Let them bring in their hints of
wrongdoing and we will find out
whether, there is foundation for them.
Why, a few days ago I solved two in
one day. The weather bureau and
the bureau of animal industry were
said to hold scandals. I believed then
there was no foundation for the
charges, but I had also believed that
Holmes, former associate statistician,
was not guilty of wrong doing. I was
in error in regard io Holmes, so I
accepted-the charges against the bu
reaus mentioned as a basis for in
vestigation. I found that the charges
were without foundation."
Mrs. John Hyde, wife of the former
chief of the bureau of statistics, who
is now in Europe, visited the depart
ment today in an effort to collect the
salary that is due her husband. She
was told that he bureau was under
investigation by the department of
justice and the amount due her hus
band would be withheld until this in
vestigation had been concluded. Mrs.
Hyde has learned that her husband is
suffering with new carbuncles. He had
trouble of this character when he left
the United States. It is not known
here whether the recurrence of his ail -
ment win aeiay nis return nome. xne
department of justice is very, anxious
that he should come to Washington
without delay, and he has been cabled
not to lose time unnecessarily.
DR. SALMON'S GRAFT
Was Partner of a Printer Who Furnished
Great Numbers of Meat Labels
Washington, Aug. 4. The investiga
tion of Secretary of Agriculture Wil
son is centered on the bureau of animal
industry, over which Dr. Salmon had
presided for many years. That bureau
is expected to furnish, the next sensa
tional development in connection with
the departmental scandal.
The Howard Printing Company of
this city has a contract with the de
partment of agriculture to print a
patented label that is attached to meat
inspected under the direction of the
bureau of animal industry, . of which
Dr.. Salmon is the chief. This contract
amounts annually to many thousands
of dollars.
On Tuesday of this week a Washing
ton dispatch to The Morning Post told
how a scientist of the department had
been connected with the concern that
manufactured the labels attached, to
carcasses; that the money to finance
the concern was supplied by one of
the scientists attached to the depart
ment, and other details of the label
contract. v
It now develops, despite vigorous
denials, that Dr. D. E. Salmon was
the business partner of George E.
Howard when the gelatine label was
patented, and also when, in June, 1901;
the first contract for the label was
awarded by the department of agricul
ture. This and other facts relating
to the matter are known to Secretary
Wilson. They are proved by Dr. Sal
mon's own admission. When asked to
day to tell his business relations with
George El Howard Dr. Salmon 'said
they had been in business about six
years. "I knew Mr. Howard," he said,
"when he was on the National Trib
une. I regarded him as-a very bright
young" man, who only needed a little?
capital to make a success in the world.
He had no money and I advanced the
sum necessary to publish the Feather,
a poultry journal in which he -was In
terested.
We continued in the print-
ins-.business and he became - aware
or tne neeas ui mo uch""c- s:
- ingenious young man, he met the con
ditions and the patent was taken out
on his advice." '
"Did not you assist him in invent
ing the device?" v
"No, it was his invention," replied
Dr. Salmon. .. ... .
"But did you never give him sug
gestions about the label?" -
"Oh, yes, I offered -sugggestions from
time to time. I told him what (the re
quirements were," replied Dr. Salmon.
"I also urged, him to perfect some de-
! vlco nst T efk imns.nip tVm
a business of dealing in .tags. We
were anxious that somebody should
be able to furnish, a label that womd
be applicable."-
, Loaded Ships Fired
St. Petersburg, Aug. 4. The British
steamers Netherby and Burton, char
tered to transport rails, and naptha
to Siberia, were found to be on fire
here almost as soon as they had em
barked their cargoes,- It was necessary
to sink the Netherby to quench the
fire aboard of her. There is a, sus
picion that the vessels were set nn
fire by the revolutionists. The fires
will cripple Russia's scheme for rapddly
building a second track for the trains
of the Siberian Railway.
Boycott Helps German Trade

that German firm are taking advantage
of the American boycott to push th ir

EASILY EXAGGERATED
Minister Barrett Not Alarmed About
the Chinese Boycott
San Francisco, Aug. 4. John Barrett,
the newly appointed minister to Colom
bia, is here in connection with the"
commercial relations existing between
the United States and China, particu
larly as regards the boycott inaugu
rated by the Chinese guilds' against
American products. He" insists, how
ever, that his mission is not of an of
ficial character',' but simply to acquaint
himself with the feeling of the peo
ple of the coast as to the boycott and
interview some of the merchants. .
Minister Barrett, .while conceding
that the Chinese guilds are all-powerful
in , their country, is of the opin
ion that the. present, alarm shown by
the people of this country is easily
exaggerated. He firmly believes that
whatever grievances the Chinese guilds
have, will soon be. dispelled when they
are made to realize . tb&t . bur govern
ment is disposed "To act fairly- with
them in the matter of immigration. He
is also of the opinion that our fu
ture policy as regards th& Orient will
depend much upon the results of the
peace conference between representa
tives of Japan afid Russia, and pre
dicts that the next two years will wit
ness agreat change in "the policy: of the
United States. Such a change -would
be attended with a noticeable improve
ment of our commercial relations In
the far east.
BATHING SKIRTS KNEE DEEP
: Mayor of Atlantic City Places Gauzy
Material Under the Ban
Philadelphia, Aug. 4. Mayor Stoy of
Atlantic City, in. an official edict, de
clares that all bathing skirts should
reach as far as the knees. He does not
believe that length of!sk!rt will inters
fere with the pleasure of any fair
bather. The mayor does draw the line
on material, however, and he has
placed under the ban all bathing suits
made of thin transparent material.
Mayor Stoy declares that the proper
length of a bathing suit for the femi
nine gender must be knee deep, and
orders will today be issued to the beach
guards to either let out the hem of
any abbreviated skirt or send the of
fending -damsel to city hall, so that
the skirt may be measured. If the
skirt should be found minus an inch
or two the hem will be let down by
the police matron. Should the ma
terial be deficient the damsel must
either : secure a longer ' skirt of pre
scribed length or forego the pleasure
of bathing.
PURELY' SOCIAL CALLS
M. Witte Not Figuring on a New
Russian Loan
Now York, Aug-. 4 Gregory Wilen
kln, the financial agent of the Rus
sian government, said today:
"The Btatemjent in this morrne's
papers to the effect that M. Witte
is sounding American financiers with
a view to the placing of a new Russian
loan in the United States Is wholly
without foundation. M. Witte's visit
to Wall ; street yesterday was one of
curiosity.
"It is quite true that he had inter
views with some leading financiers,
and no doubt he will have interviews
with rhany more. But all ,t he3e
gentlemen are personal 'irfTTus and ac
quaintances of M. Witte, who knew
him during his term of office as Rus
sian minister of finance, and the cails
were of a purely social character and
had ho relation whatever to a Russian
loan. .

TRADE REPORTS
ARE FAVORABLE
Business Expanding in
Wholesome Manner
CROPS ARE IMPROVING
The Textile Industry in Strong Po
sition With Prices Good and Pro
ducts Sold Well Ahead No Han-
dicap to Prosperity Apparent-Fail-ttearins
ure Liabilities Are Very Light
New Tork, Aug. 4. Dun & Company's
weekly l-eview, of trade tomorrow will
say: . : . . "'
Business continues to expand in a
wholesale manner that promises wc",J
for th future. Consumption of commo
dities is liberal, necessitating constant
replenishment of stocks, yut there is
little speculative inflation or other ar
tificial factors to menace the perform-
ance of progress. Reports from leading ;
branches of manufacture are unani
mous in telling of an increasing volume
of orders and the percentage of idle
machinery steadily diminishes. Textile
plants make the best returns, clot;y
followed by footwear factories, and
some divisions of the steel Industry are
engaged so far ahead .that capacity is
J being extended.
Better prospects for the crops r
moves the only handicap that impedes
the revival of trade, and favorable
weather for a few weeks will assure
unprecedented production in the aggre
gate, although the yield of cotton will
fall considerably behind last year's.
The month of July made a most en
couraging exhibit so far as statistics
are available, liabilities of failures
being smaller than any time since April,
1901, and railway earnings surpassing.
last year's by 9.1 per cent. Foreign
trade at this port for the last - week
shows gains of $1,776,184 in exports and
$1,608,564 in imports, as compared with
the same period of 1904. Prices of se
curities rose to the highest average
since last spring, and within $3 a share
of the record established three years r
ago.
Financial conditions were not
changed, except that money became a
little firmer with the approach of in
terior withdrawals and gold exports.
Bank exchanges at; New York for the
week were 54.2 per cent, larger than
last year, and at other leading cities
there was an average gain of 21.3 per.
cent.
Higher quotations are recorded in
the primary markets for cotton goods,
while most textile machinery is well
engaged on profitable contracts. The
cotton and woolen industries are both
in a very much stronger position than
at any recent date. Sellers of cotton
are now in a. very independent position,
jobbers realizing more fully their re
quirements and the Impossibility of
securing deliveries on many lines that
will prove acceptable to the trade.
Goods are sold further' ahead than is
usual at this season and early d3
liverles are seldom available. Buyers
are not resisting the advance, whih
now amounts to of a cent a yard
on medium priced goods, the only ques
tion relating to date of shipment.
Moreover, the situation appears intrin
sically firm rather than dependent upon
the vagaries of speculation in the raw
matenai. it is oenevea tnax a sna-rp
DreaK in raw cotton woma nave no
depressing effect on the goods as there
could ' be no pressure to sell with or
ders already booked far into next year
in some lines, and almost all divisions
covered up to the end of 1905. Local
jobbers have not yet done a large
store trade for fall, but business 'is
expected very soon.
Brighter crop prospects have tended
to weaken quotations of grain and cot- pinQ community will also give a ban
ton, and there was a more encoura?-: t tn hr.p h.,ndrpi s-uests." The en-
fng outgo of wheat, although exports

tive operations are! still vigorous, h iw-

tive estimates of 'any value. Corn holds
remarkably strong in view of the latest
crop news, but ' the yield is late and
damage may yet result. ,
Commercial failures this week in the
United States, are-232, against 214 last
week, 193 the preceding week and 230
the corresponding week last year. Fail
ures in Canada numbered 26, against
27 last week, 23 the preceding week
and 18 last year.
. Mill Stride Unavoidable
Creadon,. 'Aug. 4. Th threatened
Ftrlke of. cotton operatives seems to be
unavoidable, y ' Representatives of the
Federation of Master .Spinners met in
Manchester today and decided to ap
peal to all employers to unanimously
resist the demands of the operatives
for a five per cent, increase in wages,
on the ground that the condition of
the Industry does not warrant an in-
. crease. The striKe, wnen it comes, win

sufficiently definite to make quantita- , tatIv onmnanvin.thP nartv an on-

trade and cause great suffering, espe
cially as it will follow the full . period
in 1904, when the mills ran on half
time to restrict- production with the
object of defeating the aims of Ameri
can cotton speculators. .

At 10:30 o'clock, after being on the

Frisbee's wind off and forcing the
Madison county man to give up. Not
withstanding the fact that the large

ed with a knife, a sword and a fan,
performed many unique figures on the
mat to the chanting of a companion.
Following this the art of Jiu-JItsu was
demonstrated by Segawa and Koizumi
to" the amusement and astonishment
of the vast crowd. Then Dr. Paul
Paquln introduced Prof. Ono, and
Thomas J. Murray of Madison Introduced-.
Mr. Frisbee.. The appearance
of the wrestlers, with Referee Schoen
feld of New Orleans standing be
tween them, brought forth thunder
ous applause. Mr. Frisbee, with his
305 pounds of muscle and six feet and
five and one-half inches of height,
literally towered above Prof. Ono as
the two stepped onto the mat and
shook hands.
Frisbeo looked twice the size of the
Jap and the audience expected him to
have an easy thing of it. After
sparring for j an opening, the Jap
closed. It was futile, but his quick
ness, his cunning and his science
showed to the applauding audienc
that the Madison county boy was uj
against the real article. Several time
during the first half hour Ono darted
into Frisbee for the purpose of throww
ing him over his head. The Madison
man was too heavy, however, and th
sturdy Jap, quickly regaining his hold,
waited for Frisbee's rushes. FrisbeU
tried the foot movement on the Jap,
but it failed. He also attempted tc
pick up the Jap, but the son of Nip
pon was too quick. All during th
time the men were on the mat the au
dience kept up a continuous buzz,
telling the Jap to do this and that
calling on Frisbee to throw th
'heathen," and then, changing- tactics
applauded Ono.
At 10:15 Ono, working his hand into
Frisbee's wind, apparently had the
M,adison man's breathing apparatus
closed, and Frisbee tapped the Jap or.
the shoulder. The Jap smiled and left
the ring and the audience wanted to
know what was the matter. Ono's
interpreter announced that the tap
ping was a sfgnal that Frisbee had
given up. The referee held that Fris
bee had not surrendered and gave the
men three minutes to get back-lnto
the ring. In fifteen minutes after thi
Ono again cut Frisbee's wind off and
the Madison man lapped the Jap oh
the shoulder. The referee pulled n
Jap off and gave the first fall to Ono.
After resting five minutes the rerere
called Frisbee and Ono to the mat
again, and in three-quarters of a min
ute Ono had strangled Fribee and
forced his man to give up. The con
test was awarded to Ono by Refere
Schoenfeld from the stage. - .
