Yellow Fever Epidemic.

yellow fever is described by the doc
tors as Specific infectious disease
contracted by exposure to infected To-
calities and is characterized by single
febrile paroxysm of short duration and
by a tendency TO passive hemorrhages
from mucous surfaces, especially from
the stomach producing black vomit %
The disease Is unknown in Asia, is
only occasionally seen in southern
Spain and Portugal, and on the west
coast of Africa. The American trop.
les and sub-tropics are the stamping
ground of the malady Inhabitants of
this country north of the Gulf states
need have little fear of yellow fever, al
though small epidemics have occurred
in Atlantic seaboard cities as far north
as Boston and in the Mississippi val
ley up to st. Louis.
The most malignant forms of the dis
ease were found in Cuba until the
American occupation conquered the
pestilence there.
The great yellow fever epidemics in
the United States were in 1878, 1897,
1898, 1902, 1853, 1867, 1873 and 1878.
The last was the most extended. 1t in
vaded 1872 towns and wiped out 1884
human lives out of total number Of
cases exceeding $4,000.

PROSPECTS OF PEACE.

what as result of yesterdays devel-
opments. The discussion of the terms
submitted by Japan has actually be-
gun, but this has been accomplished by
postponing the consideration of the
two main issues-indemnity and the
cession of Saghalin. So far as ascer-
tainable. the Japanese were response
BILE for the tactics by which this hope
full stage was entered upon.
AS the mantle of secrecy has been
thrown around the proceedings by mu-
tual pledges not to divulge what hap
pened within the council chamber,
there are missing links in the chain OF
evidence and it is impossible to judge
whether this signifies a backdown on
either side of the main points.
On the face of things both sides are
still as uncompromisinS as ever upon
the two issues, the struggle over them
being merely postponed.

EXPORT TRADE GAINS
BUSY YEAR IN MANUFACTURES,
Uncle sam's Workers Send Greater
Value Of Articles Abroad Than Ever
Before in the Country's History.

Value Of Articles Abroad Than Ever
Before in the country's History.
Washington, d. c., Aug 14.-Statis-
tics compiled by the bureau of stats-
tics Of the Department of Commerce
and Labor show that the exports of
manufactures in the fiscal year just
ended amounted to $5i3.620,297 as
against $452 ,415,921 in the preceding
year, $43S,S ,756 in 1900. and S1S3,.
595,74 in 1896 of manufactures.
The exports for the fiscal year were
not only the largest on record. but
are in excess of the combined exports
of all articles in the centennial year,
1876, and nearly $140,OO0,000 more
than the total exports and imports OF
the country at the close of the Civil
War.
The growth in the expectation manu-.
factures is shown ito have largely ex.
ceeded the growth in population. Out
of thirty leading articles only seven
show falling off for the year as com.
pared with 1904.
Iron and steel manufactures supply
about one-fourth of the total exports,
having been Sl34727, ,921, as against
Sill ,94S,5S6 in. the preceding year
tSeel rails showed an increase of
s6.00O.0O0, chiefly in shipments to Can
ada, South America. the West Indies
Japan and other oriental countries.
Machinery also showed an increase
in 1905 OF more than s6.0"0,000 over
1904. A conspicuous feature is the
large increase in exports of locomo-
tives to Japan. ISL engines having
been sent thither in 1905 as against IA
in the previous year
Mexico and Argentine increased
their purchases of American sewing
machines. while Japan increased her
purchases of electrical machinery and
builders material, each in substan-
tial degree.
Copper manufactures take second
rank with total valuation of $S6.225,-
291 in 1905 as compared with $57 142.-
OS1. There was an increase of $10.
100000 in the copper exports to China.
There was an increase in the expor-
tation of mineral oils. the third article
in importance. of over 100000, 900 gal
Ions, but owing to a falling in prices
the value remained practically station
ary. The oil export for 1905 was 951,-
100000 gallons as against S47,OOO.OOO
gallons. The value for 1905 was $71,-
S8s,317, and for 1904 was $71, ,753.552.
Leather and its manufactures, fourth
in importance in the list of manufac-
tured articles exported. showed an in
crease of $4,000.000, the total in 1905
having been $3S,O0000O as compared
with $34,O00,000 in the preceding year.
In this class also Japan is credited
with the chief increase.
