In addi- , insisting that Russia recognize i t;-e 'principle that Japan is entitled to an iuJcmiiity -commensurate-with the .taty losses sustained by her prosecuting the war, the Japanese de- ir.ani the following: . The cession of Port Arthur and the Liao Tung Feninsula to Japan. The evacuation of Manchuria. The cession of the island of Saghalion. The con-. trol of the Russo-Cninese Railway as far north as Harbin. So demand was made -for the dis nvar.tlins of Vladivostok or recognition of a transfer of the Japanese authority ever Coroa.

The fact was recorded. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 10. The Japanese peace terms are at last known to the Russian envoys, and they are regarded by the czar's envoys as ! unnecessarily severe and humiliating. r th?re is yet a lingering hope of i possibly successful termination of t!:o negotiations. It is ortly a linger ing hope, however, if one. is to judge from the expressions of apprehension dismay that are being uttered to right in the summer hotel annex; where the Russians have their quar ters. . . T "."""'" They are depressed, decidedly de pressel are " those among them who have seen or heard the conditions which Japan seeks to'impose upon her enemy as the price of ending the war. More astonishing to the Russians than any other thing in the statement of terms, submitted by Baron Komura and Mr. Takahira, was that the Japa nese did not ask for any specific in demnity. They do make it plain, however, that they expect io be com pon?ate;l fnr the losses incurred by them in their conflict with Russia, which is interpreted in some quarters to mean that the European belligerent is expected to pay in full for the enor imus expenditures which Japan has tr.ade. Eut the failure of the Japanese to insist upon the payment of a specifific um holds out a chance of compro- fciso, and the feeling exists among the Russian representatives that the con toiens admit of discussion.

There is apparently a determined in tention on the part of all those who know what has been proposed by Japan, to guard the secret jealously until a mutual agreement has been reached or proper permit-sion given to take the public into the confidence of the two belligerent nations. i In spite of the gloomy outlook seen through Russian spectacles there is enough evidence at hand that has a collateral bearing on the present situ ation to justify at least the suspicion that the czar's government, whatever its instructions to itsenvoys at Ports mouth, is sincerely, anxious to' end the war, and will show a disposition to come to terms if the Japanese manifest an equal -willingness to offer some con cessions.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT We Will Begin to Feel It Se riously Very Soon Shanghai and Singapore Dealers Re ceive Thousands of Instructions From Merchants to Cancel All Orders for American Products Washington, Aug. 10. It is believed that wlhtin a few weeks at the long est the Chinese boycott of American products will begin to make itself felt and that there will then be a loud cry Tor the administration to do some thing to relieve the situation. So far the boycott has not inflicted much direct damage. The Chinese stu dents interested in the movement, and it seems to be pretty well established that the students are the instigators, have worked actively throughout China in the cause of the boycott. The an ti-American movement has now spread to Siam, according to ad vices received at the state department today from Montgomery Schuyler, Jr., charge "d'affaires for this government at Bangkok. Three thousand Chinese there have sent instructions to dealers in Singagpore and Shanghai to cancel all orders for American products. Similar steps have been taken in only a few places, most of the activity hav ing thus far been confined to the mere agitation of the movement. "When there are further cancellation of orders, re garded as sure to come, the manufac turers of this country will have good reason to protest. Up to this time only a few protests have been filed at the state department, principally because no one has been directly affected. It is not clear in the minds of gov ernmcnt officials just what the ad ministration can do to offset the move ment. It has been shown that an ap peal to the Chinese government can avail nothing. X dispatch received at state department from Consul General Rogers at Shanghai, where the move-lTj-ent ' berran reiterates a statement made in a dispatch which he sent few days ago: that the students were behind the movement. His telegram to day shows that the representatives of other governments are apprehensive on account of the situation. While Mr. Rogers' meaning on. this point is not entirely cear, government officials here infer that the diplomatic repre sentative of other countries in China fear the possibility of a spread of the boycott movement, already proven to be a powerful weapon for obtaining concessions when other methods fail Mr. Rogers reports that the. govern ment officials at Shanghai are inactive and that the chamber ofjeommerce of Shainghai is power to do 'anything. Some days ago. when Mr. Rogers" re-. ported that" the chamber of commerce had deplored, the movement there was great hope among administration offi cials that the movement had burned it self out, but further reports have over come this optimism." The definite estab lishment of the fact that the students are behind the boycott raises the point as to who is behind the students. Men in Washington, who are familiar with Oriental methods are certain that the boycott is backed by motives which have not appeared on . the' surface. By some the movement is attributed to merchants and , commercial organiza- (Continued On Page Two.) t Mr w vr r w "n in. v m i w . K0LL1N5 KhrLY TO SIMMONS He Resents Statement That Butler is Rep.

Chairman Rollins also followed this ' topic a nttie rurtner, saying tnat mas- much as Senator Simmons had seen fit to express an opinion with regard to the leadership of the Republican party, he would take a similar privilege and gave the name of the real leader of the Democratic party.

A very large amount of . money is involved, but the suit is described as a friendly one, and it is not likely to prove a litigated case. C.

Today's yel- low fever record: New rass fi7? deaths, 5. New Orleans, Aug. 10. There has been a marked and steady improve ment in the quarantine situation to day. Nearly all parishes, and towns in Louisiana which, have maintained non- itercourse quarantines and embargoes not only on passengers but on freight and even trains, took down the bar rier today and withdrew all objections to -trains and to freight in fumigated cars. They also agreed to admit pasengers from detention camps under control of the United States marine hospital staff. The time of detention was uniformly fixed at five days as against the six, eight, ten and even twenty-one days heretofore insisted on. , The change Is attributed partly to the fact tht the United States marine hospital staff had taken charge, and partly to the proclamation of the gov ernor and, state board of health, threat- 'ening damage suits against the illegal quarantines and to use the militia tot break them . ud. A temporary scare was created In Mississippi by the report of a suspi cious case at Holly Springs which suf fered so badly from the yellow fever in 1878 and at Yazoo City. When an. investigation by . the health officer showed : the supposed cases ' to be ma larial fever it- was at once restored -confidence. ' There is no fever now, anywhere In' Mississippi and the indications are that there will be a marked loosening up of quarantines next week, the peopla having become convinced that the preesnt quarantine methods adopted : by the state board under the advice and direction of United States marina hospital service are thoroughly effec tive. In Louisiana the situation is much better. It is considered that the fever has been crushed out at Shreve port, Alexandria, Bunkie and Lake Providence, at all of which points there was no spread. It sill exists at Tul luah, two cases; Iberville, two cases; St. Charles, nine cases; Catcassieu, one cfse; all doing well. The deaths of the five Jefferson parish sick have relieved that parish of the disease and in Plaqnemine all the -sick have passed the dangerous crisis of the disease. The only ugly situation is at Patter son, St. .Marys parish, about 100 miles from New Orleans on the Southern Pa cific and it is because of the Patter son sickness that the quarantines in southwestern Louisiana are so much more rigid than in other parts of the stata. There are now twenty-six cases there. The disease Is of a mild type and there have been no deaths. Its origin has not yet been determined, but it is be lieved were brought in by Italians from New Orleans suffering from so mild an attack as not to need a physician. The proposition of the postoffice department to abolish the postoffices at those towns which refuse to accept mall because of quarantine is also having a good effect in breaking up the more rigid embar goes. Dr. Taber, health ; officer ot Texas, has asked Governor Lahama to hold the Texas Rangers ready to be used as quarantine officers should tha fever invade Texas. While the work of cleaning up New Orleans started by the city, assisted by 60,060 householders, accomplished, won ders and put the city in a better sani tary condition than it has been fe years, it was not entirely complete, al though the city forces work all night long, using flat cars on the city rail way lines to carry off the dirt, trash and debris. . ... It was determined to keep Up the work all the rest of the week, working night and day with relay gangs. The United States " Marine Hospital service has given notice that it is going to enforce the city ordinances rigor ously and without the slightest par tiality. The ordinances. Dr. White says, are perfectly amply sufficient to -get rid of the mosquHoes and - the fever. The trouble has been their non enf 0'rceipen.t. An example will be made of several prominent doctors who re fuse to report their fever patients and citizens "who fail - to screen their cis terns, as required by law, after: which it is thought there will be no dodging the sanitary laws.
