back yard of the hotel and spied a pair
Of boots not too badly worn, which some

These gave him an idea His gold dust

ness. He had about $4,000 in the best Of
gold dust TO his credit in the banks then
established in Virginia City. and a question
which bothered him sorely was how TO get
this money 20 civilization without losing IL,
for road agents often disputed the right Of
way with the stage coaches, and they
levied frequent tributes on the passengers,
sometimes stripping them 10 the hide.
Wells, Fargo & Co. made a practice OF
shipping gold dust east for the miners, but
this was expensive, the ratio for insurance
being sometimes as high as 10 per cent on
the amount carried. This meant a great
deal of money 20 a man, even In those
days. and MT Filing thought he could end
a way TO get his money 20 Omaha which
would beat that scheme all hollow.
After considering the matter In lis diff
ferent phases he finally expressed the
money 10 his own order as far as Salt
Lake City, taking passage on the same
coach. To Salt Lake City the express rate
was not so high, and practically the danger

THE infection of yellow fever is

Persons take the disease by being
bitten by mosquitoes that have previ-
ously bitten a yellow fever patient.
The mosquitoes to become infected
must bite a yellow fever patient dur

The three days, therefore. are the most

(By the Associated Press.)

New York, August 3.-Acting for
the president Third Assistant Secre-
tary of State Pierce today communities
ted. to Baron Rosen, the Russian am
bassador, and Mr.. Takahira, the Jap
anese minister, the official program
for the formal presentation to the pres
ident of the Russian and japanese
plenipotentiaries to the Washington
conference. This program has for
weeks been a subject of much study
on the part of the president and Mr..
Pierce. Many of the details regard
ing the journey to Oyster Bay and
thence to Portsmouth already have
been published
DESTROYS of being strictly neutral in
all the arrangements for the presenta-
ton, it was decided at the outset by
the Washington government that the
president would recognize no prece-
dence based on successes in the pres
ent war Because Baron komura
was presented at Sycamore Hill al
most a week before M. Witte arriv-
ed in this country it was decided that
for this reason Baron Komura must
take precedence over M. Witte. This
however, will be recognized only in
the half hours difference in the time
of the presentation of the two mis-
sionS.
The question as to which ship will
be assigned to the Russians and which
to the Japanese to take them to Ports
mouth solved itself. The servants on
the Dolphin are Japanese, those on the
Mayflower are Chinese.
NJ. Witte had an active day today.
He has already seen more of New
ork than most visitors see in week.
Accompanied by Wilenkine, Russia s
financial agent at Washington, he lett
his hotel at 8 O'Clock in an automobile
on a ride through Central Park, then
to Grants Tomb, where M. Witte in
sisted on getting out of the car, and
went into the mausoleum, where he
remained for a few minutes. From
there he went to the Stock Exchange
and thence to the top of one of the
towering downtown buildings to get a
birds eye view of the city. This
quite enchanted him. 1.-THE most
magnificent of ALL" he exclaimed. The
subway next was visited and tram
taken for up town.
Now" he said, "this is all splendid,
but / want to see all of New York;
let's go to the Eastside.' Back down
into Houston Street he went, in the
automobile, through the Chinese, jew
ish, Russian and Italian quarters.
Soon after reaching this section of the
city M. Witte got out of the automo-
bile and made considerable part OF
the trip on foot.
Throughout the afternoon he was re
ceiving callers. but only byappoint-
ment Tonight he dined quietly at
his hotel with his suits, and tomorrow
he will go to oyster Bay with Baron
Rosen.
Minister Sato of the Japanese peace
commission, expressed himself today
as hopeful of the result of the peace
conference. He said:
Both commissions having come
here animated with peaceful impulses,
l think peace will be as it may be
expected both parties will be reasona-
BILE in order to secure the blessing OF
