Plan Russo-Japanese Mediation.
Rome, Sept. 29.-Altho a portion OF
the Italian press insists that the meet
ing of Premier Giolitti and Count Won
Bulow, the German chancellor, at
Hamburg was connected with the sub
ject of mediation between Russian and
Japan. the Capitale, semi official Or
gan, gives voice to the contrary view
and says:
Not only the Italian but all Euro
peran governments consider that me-
diation is impossible now, when Rus
sia fully trusts in her ability to turn
the tide of battle in her favor, and
while Japan does not wish to lose the
fruits of her victories"
The Avanti asserts that the presence
of Prince Charles of Hohenzollern at
Toxic has a connection with alleged
plans of mediation. The foreign Of
flee, however, emphatically denies that
Italy is concerned in any such move~
ment.
According to semi official statements
the only reason for the visit Of Pre-
mier Giolitti to Hamburg was that he

questions affecting their own coun-
tries. Signor Giolitti especially desir-

in the triple alliance was i'll harmony
with her friendly relations with Eng

1t is reported that Premier Giolitti
may have been charged to arrange for
a visit of Emperor William to Rome
for the baptism of the Italian crown
prince, a rumor being current that he
will be the young princes godfather.

the defense has said and admitted that
this bottle was bought in MarshalltoWn
at the Powers drug store on the 18TH
day of December last, either by Katie
Slifer or some man she had asked to
get it for her. Nowhere is the man to
be found He must have been an ac-
quaintance, most assuredly. This man
must know today that this defendant
is accused of this awful crime. Would
he remain quiet and see this innocent
defendant accused of such crime. No
He would come forward and say: Il
bought it. Katie asked me to- Now
if Katie had bought it would not the
drug clerk who sold such drug to
lady, and whose attention had been
called to it the second day after, have
remembered her? Would he have for
gotten it?
The explanation of the second bottle
in this case was made in the follow
ing manner: When defendant got this
bottle, the first bottle found he ex-
planned the whole thing to the clerk,
saying he had gotten bottle few
days before and lost it out on account
of loose cork, and cautioned the
clerk to cork it up tight.
Mr. Allbrook will finish his plea some
time today and this being the clos
ing plea, the case will go to the jury.

Professor De Martens Gives Cars Or

Edinburgh, Sept. 29.-The coreer-
ence of the Institute of international
Law, which began September 90,
concluded yesterday. President
Roosevelt's announcement that he will
shortly call a second peace conference
at The Hague was discussed. While
the conference did not pass a further
definite resolution on the subject. 1t
gave evidence of undoubted sympathy
with this effort to advance the cause
of arbitration.
Professor De Martens of the chair of
international law at the University of
ST. Petersburg, referred to the ukase
issued in February by the Russian
government defining what course
should be observed during the war with
Japan. He pointed out that some of
the declarations contained in the ukase
were the result of the deliberations
of The Hague conference, but certain
of The Hague conventions. on which

TYPHOID MENAcEs GOTHAM.
Greater New York Has Record Numbe,
Of Cases This Month.


Of Cases This Month.
New York, Sept. 29.-Greater New
York is at present threatened with
what may be the severest epidemic OF
typhoid fever In it's history. Not only
are the number of typhoid cases re-
ported for the three weeks of Septem-
ber ending last Saturday greater than
that of any other month last year, but
since the beginning of the summer the
death rate has been so much higher
than formerly that the health depart
ment is now thoroughly alarmed and
is bending every fort toward checking
the disease.
When it is considered that the spread
of typhoid last year was greater than
it has been for many years the gravity
of the present situation is indicated.
For the three weeks just ended the
total number of cases reported at the
health department was AL. The fatal
talities numbered "A, or a death rate of
nearly 20 per cent. Last year. during
the worst month-that of October-the
largest number of cases in New York
was 324. and the highest death rate at
any time during the year was 1874 per
cent.

HONOR SATISFIED
The Gurney Incident Probably Closed
by Apology Of the Justice Who Fin
cd Him--British Ambassador May,
However, Teach Gurney Lesson.

Boston, Sept. 29.-After allowing for
the communication in the Phelps-Gur-
ney case to reach Washington, Gov
ernor Bates, today, made public the
various letters bearing on the subject.
The governor informed the state de-
partment that the judgment against
imposed remitted. He says Judge
Phelps has expressed regret to the sec
retary by letter, a copy of which he
forwarded with a statement by Phelps.
The governor suggests that the atten-
ton Of the British ambassador be call
ed to the breach of the laws of Mas
sachusetts under the belief that the
ambassador will take such action as
the case may demand. The governor
also expresses regret that the want
of knowledge of the law has result
ed in an error of judicial authority and
expresses the hope that the statement
by Phelps may be recognized as con-
elusive disavowal of any intention of
Massachusetts courts to ignore inter-
national law.
The letter of Judge Phelps to Third
Secretary Gurney is as follows:
"Sir: AS justice of the Lee police
court, I find occasion to express my
profound regret that, thru misappre-
hension of the law, l assumed that
the court had jurisdiction over the
person of member of the embassy
of the British government. Having
become apprised Of this error and
seeking to make all possible reparatdon
therefore the court has vacated ana
annulled all proceedings taken in the
matter of the complaint against your
self and the erroneous judgment en-
tered thereon.
"I beg further to express my pro-
found personal regret that l should
have been, without intentional error,
the cause of your own personal vexa-
ton and annoyance, or that anything
should have occurred which may have
seemed to be, tho not SO in fact, a
want Of respect for the rights of the
representative of the government, OF
his Britannia majesty"

.JApS BEGIN FIGHTING;
DA PASS IS CAPTURED
WAR NEWS SUMMARY.

The Japanese have again resumed
the offensive and today's dispatches
indicate that sharp fighting may be
soon expected southeast of Mukden.
st. Petersburg hears that the Japanese
have taken Da Pass, a strategic point
in the mountain range about forty tive
miles southeast Of Mukden. Several
other passes are now in their hands. 1t
is believed in st. Petersburg that ku-
ropatkin is withdrawing his forces to
the less rugged country to the north
west of Mukden, where he may decide
to give battle. Japan has amended her
conscription regulations in manner
which will increase her available
fighting force by about 100000 men.
A new scheme Of divisional oreaniza-
ton is also contemplated.
