WAS UNANIMOUS.
Peace Commissioners Were All In Fa-
vor of Article Four.

vor of Article Four.
Portsmouth NJ H.. Aug. 16.--In the
morning session of Aug. Is, article a
was unanimously agreed to. On article
s the commissioners decided to take
note of the opposing views and proceed
with the remaining articles.
This statement was made by Mr.. Sci
bert OF the Russian embassy: Article 4
relates to the surrender of Russian
leases on Lao Tung peninsula and ar
ticle s. which was passed on account of
differences, to the cession of Sakhalin
island to Japan.
The plan now is almost certain to
pass over the disputed articles and see
how far an agreement is possible, then
to return and attack the obstacle.
If In the end agreement were found
to be impossible, the world would know
and be able to form it's Judgment of
the merits of the respective contentious
and place the blame for the prolonga-
tion of the carnage in the far east The
very fact that ultimately the world
will be enabled to fix the responsibility
for rupture, that in the final analysis
the two countries are on trial before
the public opinion of the world. con-
stitutes the main hope of successful
outcome of the negotiations.
The Associated Press is now able to
state authoritatively from both sides
that the twelve ARTICLES now before
| them constitute the bases of pros
pective treaty of Washington" but as
the wording is to be revised it does not
as accepted, necessarily establish the
final text.
The Associated Press is informed
| that while covering the lease of Lao
| Tung peninsula and the Blonde and
Elliot Islands which are included in the
lease hold, article A. does not touch
| Port Arthur and Dalny, which are COW
cred in seprate article. Japan, 1t is
understood, insisted, at least for the
present, on the occupation of these two
| points. There is what is regarded as
absolutely warrant for the statement
that Nj. Witte is not referring the ques-
| lions regarding the various articles to
| st. Petersburg or Peterhof. In his in
terviews with the emperor, before he
| left st. Petersburg, Sc learned and
shared the view of the ruler that peace
was impossible for Russia upon the
basis of indemnity or cession of terri
tory, and in all his public and private
utterances he continues to hold an alb
solutely uncompromising attitude upon
these points.
All indications from the japanese side
show that Baron Komura is equally
firm and that the payment of the "cos-
of the war" and the cession of Sakhalir
are conditions sine qua non. A sugges-
ton Is made that when Baron Komura
ascertained from Whites reply the Rus.

he decided to begin the consideration o.

An active crusade against the mosquito will commence today in Birmingham. Hand and hand with it goes a renewed movement to clean up the city.
 The two together should greatly im- prove the health conditions of Birming ham. The one will decrease the chance of yellow fever living in Birmingham by exterminating a vast number of mosqui- toes and practically destroying all chance of them breeding in any large number in the city
 The other will go long way toward making the city cleaner and thus ridding It of many of the germ generating cen ters. which always exist where there is trash and decaying vegetable matter.
 In order to exterminate the mosquito the city has secured an old wagon from the Standard oil company capable of holding several hundred gallons of oil. and all pools of water or cess pools will be sprayed.
