Wagner, the French clergymail-
author of "The Simple Life, "
writes of his visit 5t the White
House, and with simple directness
tells of the children and the house
hold life of the President as he saw
them. He writes an interesting
and important estimate of President
Roosevelt as man.

the public. These marriages are not
contracted from any feelings of mutual
attraction or even trade partnership,
but in the belief that juries have a re-
luctance in convicting wives.

NO EXCITEMENT.
Broussard Says That New Orleans is
 Keeping Level Head.

Washington, Aug. s.-(Special)- The people of New Orleans are not excited a little bit over the yellow fever situation. as I know from personal ex- perience. having just come from there" said Congressman Robert B. Broussard of the Third Louisiana District. The epidemic Is to be deplored. but now that the federal government has 1t fin charge the situation will show steady improvement and I think that in a very short time all the excitement will have died out. The crops of thirty of the best yellow fever experts in the United States that Is marshalled in New Or leans under the orders of General Wyman will restore confidence and the restoration of confidence Is half the battle. 5@ =.
 The great trouble, of course, is in the Italian quarter. The residents will not own to the existence of fever. fearing that members of their families will be taken off to the detention camps and that they may never more be seen alive. While I was In New Orleans they fer reted out a place that contained twen- ty-six fever patients. though when the inspectors sought information they were told there was not a single case of sickness on the premises" -.

Roosevelt to Speak.

Oyster Bay, N. Y.. Aug 9.-Presi- dent Roosevelt will leave Oyster Bay tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock on probably which will be the last trip he will make during the summer so- journ at Sagamore Hill. Late tomor- row afternoon he will deliver an ad- dress to the Unite1 Mine Workers and members of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union at Wilkesbarre, Pa, and at 10:30 a. m, on Friday he will speak before the Chautaqua As- sembly at Chautaqua. N. Y.
 Wilkesbarre will be reached at p. in. From a stand on the river com mons the President will deliver his ad- dress. John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America. will preside over the meeting. Cardinal Gibbons is expected to be present and very likely will make a short address. Leaving Wilkesbarre at D. m., the President will arrive at Chautaqua at B. m., Friday morning. His address to the assembly will be delivered about 1O:3O in the Ampitheatre. Leaving promptly at noon he is scheduled to arrive at $40 Saturday morning in Oyster Bay.
 This was a notably quiet week day for the President. The disagreeable weather caused by heavy and almost continuous rainfall kept him indoors much of the time. He was occupied for several hours In disposing of ex- ecutive business. No engagements had been made for calleys and no visitors were received

followed in the case of the military at taches. the same program will be adopted for the f1nanciers.
 It is believed to be more than proba- ble however, that the attaches of the two missions will act solely in advisory capacities to their respective chiefs.
 It can be stated positively that up to the time of meeting today the insruc- tions of the four plenipotentiaries sign ed by their respective sovereigns had not passed out of the hands of MT, Witte and Baron Rosen and Baron Ko- mura and Minister Takahira.
 The dignitaries and the President have known from the very outset that the plenipotentiaries of both govern ments came clothed with plenary powers and the anxiety on this sub feet has never been shared by the en- voys on either side.
 Our next meeting will be held to- morrow morning. Provided all goes well. we will get down to business then said one of the envoys.
 Has either side committed itself about terms?" the envoy was asked
 Terms Not Discussed.
 No terms were discussed at to- days meeting"
 At this mornings meeting Baron Komura spoke Japanese. his secretary, MrHonda. translating it into French. while M. Witte spoke entirely in French. The expression used by the plenipotentiaries that the credentials were exchanged" does not tell the whole story. as Baron Komura did not bring down his credentials. so that MT Witte only presented his own, which were found entirely satisfactory. while Baron Komura explained what his credentials contained and prom ised to bring the copy tomorrow.
 That MT. Witte should have brought his credentials to the conference and Baron Komura should have left his at the hotels appears to have beendue to a misunderstanding, Baron Komura think ing that this mornings session would be entirely informal, as inded it was.

WORK OF CLEANING.
Mobile Sanitary Association is Getting
 Down to Business.


 Down to Business.
 Advertiser Bureau.
 Mobile, Aug. g.
 This afternoon in the Commercial Club the executive and inspection com- mittees of the Auxiliary Sanitary Asso- ciation met with Colonel A. S. Lyons in the chair The plan presented by Dr. Heustis Fonde as to cleaning the city was adopted and Chief Engineer Hazelhurst of the Board of Public Works, was named as general super intendent of the cleaning gangs.
 It was decided to have the cleaning gangs begin within forty-eight hours from today at noon. The gangs will be equipped with dump carts and oil sprinklers. There will be eight gangs. all under the direct supervision of the general superintendent. In each of the eight districts one member of the inspection committee will be in charge of inspection gangs to be appointed by the committeeman. These will make house to house canvasses and report. the reports to be forwarded promptly to the general superintendent. It was estimated that $15,000 would be needed to clean the city and destroy mosquito hatcheries. Tonight the finance oom- mittee met and devised means to raise this amount.
 J. n. railroad, has come to her senses, so far as Mobile and all points east of Pas cagoula River on that road are con- cerned. The authorities of that city today issued an order that hereafter the previous restrictions against all points east of Pascagoula river, to and including Mobile. were rescinded; that Is, all persons from Mobile and points west of here on that road provided with proper health certificates may en- ter Hattiesburg. This order relieves the M. J. &. K. C. on all lines so far as Hattiesburg Is concerned. Laurel still maintains her shot gun" quar- antine. In the telegram last night relative to discontinuing passenger trains on the above named railroads, the words "on Sunday" were unfortu- nately dropped. A daily service of passenger trains on the road except on Sunday will be maintained during pres ent conditions, but SO soon as the cpl demic is stamped out the regular ev- eryday double daily service will be re- nstated.
 General Passenger Agent John M. BealI of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, has isued a circular to passengers on his road, which reads thus:
 by this company is subject to the quar- antine regulations of various States, counties and towns traversed by this road All tickets are sold with the understanding that they are subject to delay of purchaser or holder on account of these quarantine regulations and that this company assumes no liability in any case, whatsoever. for any delay that may occur to any passenger.

 Soon afteh the session convened. however. Mir. Witte drew out his en- grossed credentials. and 1t was then that the mistake became evident. Bar on Komura was able. however. to give in detail the nature of his powers. and this incident did not in the slightest degree delay the progress of the meet ing. Mir. Witte's credentials. after be- ing thoroughly examined. were re- turned to him and tomorrow morning Baron Komura will be on hand at half past nine with the credentials for himself and Mir. Takahira and M. Witte will then again present the credentials of himself and Baron Rosen. which will not need again to be examined. 1t was not desired that this incident should be commented upon. as the envoys are so well satisfied that the powers on both sides are entirely satisfied that they regard the exchange of credentials as practically a completed formality
 When 1t became known about the hotel that the Russian credentials had been presented and examined and the Japa- nese had not been presented. there was considerable uneasiness. In quarters friendly to Russia an attempt was made to make much of this, as indicat- Ing the Japanese had scored at the first meeting. There is however, official au
 thority for the statement that Baron Komura was entirely sincere in his that there were to be no formalities at this mornings session. and hence he did not think 1t neces- ray to bring his official letters. It Is pointed out that the offer of Baron Komura to send for his papers and the assurance rendered by M. Witte that the verbal account of their contents was entirely satisfactory indicates clearly that the whole incident was due to a misunderstanding, the occurrence of which Is not at all unnatural in view of the informality with which the preliminaries for this mornings meet ing were arranged.

Within ten minutes after the mis- sion returned the correspondent of the Associated Press. who was received by one of the plenipotentiaries. was given the following information: You can say that this mornings meeting was entirely satisfactory so far as 1t went. We exchanged credentials. but please do not write nonsense about creden- tials" Shortly after the plenipoten- tiaries entered the navy general stores If was learned that M. Witte and Baron Komura exchanged compliments. the latter, however, using Mir. Honda as interpreter. as neither Baron Komura nor MT. Takahira are very familiar with Fench. while M. Witte. although understanding English in reading. can not speak it. Immediately after this fornality the envOys proceeded to the exchange of their credentials.
 A point that must be decided in the event the negotiations proceed beyond the initial stage is whether the mili- tary attaches shall participate with the plenipotentiaries in the conference or whether they shall meet separately and draw up their reports and refer them to the plenipotentiaries for con sideration. Should this latter plan be
