half century to dispose of warships enough to keep a squadron there equal to Japans, while it would be fruitless to maintain smaller one. Consequently, to speak of these things as concessions is but to play with words. It is equally childish to affirm that Japan foregoes her claim for an indemnity because the new proposal does not actually mention it. All that she does is to join the question of Sakhalin with that of a cash payment name of purchase money. The transac- ton is fictitious and the terminoogy mis- leading. If what is proposed is to be be treated as such, and therefore should Russia decline to buy the territory Japan should keep it and conclude peace on the basis of the concessions already made. Again, if a purely business transaction were indeed intended, the value of the territory offered would be the basis on which the two powers would treat. But here even this essential condition Is not observed. The price demanded for the northern half of the island is 1.900 100000 yen, which is the original estimate of the war costs. Possibly Japan may have fixed that sum with the intention of whit ting 1t down to some extent later on, but Russia, mindful of her national hon CT, of her military strength, and of her historic traditions, will not and cannot consent to pay war indemnity by what soever name 1t may be called, nor can she, nor indeed can the world at large, regard Japan's proposal as proof of a. genuine desire for peace. -a-

DANGER FROM CARS
 GREATLY LESSENED
DIR. SANDERS CoNFERs WITH SUR GEON WHITE-THE QUARAN- TINE COST ALABAMA $4o0o DUR ING THE FIRST MONTH.

Montgomery, August 23.-(Special) )-Dr. w. II. Sanders, state health officer, has returned from Mobile, where he went to confer with Surgeon White of the United States marine hospital service, who has charge of the yellow fever situation in New Orleans.
 They met at Mobile, and the most im- portant subject discussed was Immigration of freight cars.
 Surgeon White informed Dr, Sanders that the freight cars from New Orleans were fumigated before they were loaded, and that they were loaded at the rail- road yards, which is not in an infected district The cars must be loaded immed- lately after fumgaton. If they are not, then the Immigration sign of the marine service Is taken from the car.
 T believe" said Dr. Sanders. that the danger from freight cars bringing mosqui- toes from New Orleans has been reduced to a minimum. By this I do not mean to say that all danger from places be- coming infected through the agency of freight cars is done away with, but it has been reduced to a minimum.
 pr. Sanders said that Surgeon White was pleased with the work so far done In New Orleans.
 Dr. Sanders is in communication vii a physician at Starksville, Miss. in refer ence to the suspicious case there, but nothing definite has been heard from there.
 The first month of the state quarantine was up Tuesday, and it cost the state just about $40OO. So far the state quarantine seems to be effective, even though there has been some complaints.

THIS MORNINGS GOSSIP

Special Correspondence from Summer
 Piazzas.
 With the passing of August summer is coming to an end in the mountains and the season is dying a slow death. People are already thinking of turning their faces homeward and 1t Is evident that the routine of summer life is broken The yellow ftver news is not as exciting and those who do not live in proximity to the fever stricken districts will not pro- long their stay in the mountains, if the fever remains under control.
 New Orleans people will hardly return tions of the south are concerned, the first days of Septembes will find hun dreds of wanderers homeward bound.
 Still the inns are crowded, people are lingering at country houses. But hotel life rather pals after two or three months of it and a majority of people begin to get impatient to return home as soon as the fires are lighted and wraps are nec- Aesary for bodily comfort.
 Dog days, with their incessant rains, necessitates fires and the weather is al- most uDSeaSODaDle, entirely LOO COOL lo remain on the piazzas in the evenings. It is the big living rooms in the inns and country housese that are now most invit- ing. The chilllness is not in the least objectionable if one has come prepared for cold weather, for now is really the most delightful season when the air is so bracing as to make walking ideal. But of late there have not been many days without rain and today Is melancholy autumn day, perfectly grey.
 Rain is such an enemy to ones temper, and especially to summer clothes. People cooped up in hotel for a succession of rainy days and who still retain their se- renity of mind must have a great deal Of self-control, or are perfectly angelic in their natures. It is almost too much to expect of anyone to remain placid in mind through dog days that are wet and disagreeable and like the breakfast test of friendship, an ordeal no one should really be expected to go through, tht strain of being pleasant through days of wet and damp is quite heathenish GUS tom Cards, stupid summer books-lt is upon these that people fall In sheer madness, until there Is nothing left of them. The greatest hardship that can come to a summer hotel are wet dog days. A. K. w.

her naval strength on the Pacific, and that it reduces the differences between the two powers to the compass of what Is in appearance a single questionable sale of Sa<halin.
 "Seemingly. therefore, Japan has also struck her pen through the most ob- noxious clause of all that which deals with indemnity, and all that she now asks Russia to do In addition to the terms al- ready agreed upon Is to purchase the northern half of Sakhalin for sum of 1.2O0 coo. 900 yen (about $500 ,000). And this alleged simplication of terms is supposed to have furnished Russia with an ac- ceptable basis for peace treaty. At first sight the offer may, perhaps, to some seem new, but closer examination will show 1t to be In all essentias Identical with the proposal already rejected by Russia's plenipotentiaries. Only a person unfamiliar with war. in love with hu- manitarianism. foreign to Russia, and incompetent to judge of Russia's national honor and dignity could discover in these terms the source of new impulse given to the peace negotiations. But a grievious mistake was committed by those who imagined that the plenipotentiaries of the Czar. the representatives of the Russian nation. would take the huslx of the kernel. the shadow for the sub stance. A person of avera ge intelligence can see that what is new in this pro- posal is the phraseology in which it is co,irf1ed

Budapest, August 23.-The liberal party at conference today, adopted motion declaring adherence to present principles, but Expressing readiness in event of combination of all sections of the 1867 compromise party to co-onerate in the formation of new party by sacrificing it's separate existence as a party.

CRlTiclSES OUR CHURCHES. pr. Morgan Says People Develop More Along Social Than Spiritual Lines.

New York, August 23.-A criticism of the American protestant churches was voiced today by the Rev G. Campbell Morgan, D. D., who has been working in the late Dwight L. Moody's place at East Northfield, Mass. When on the point of sailing for Europe. Dr. Nor gan said:
 "The American church does not seem to be much more than a social organization now Its members spend more time developing along social lines than they do along spiritual lines. The business men, the influential Christians and others do not do their duty. Wrap ped up in their own affairs or busy In the pursuit of frivolity, they lose track of the ways and forget the pledges they made to their church."

ELIMINATION OF TWO CLAUSES
 AMOUNTS TO NOTHING.

"rrhe elimination of the two clauses
 stipulating that Russia's disarmed war
 ships be handed over to Japan, and her
 naval strength on the Pacific be re- stricted. brings no new element into the transaction. For the withdrawal of these claims which were obviously put forward with the intention of being waived in the course of negotiations. Is devoid of inl- portance.
 "The disarmed ships in question are Russia's by right and to ask that they be banded over to Japan. is to demand q breach of the law of nations. Again the limitation of Russia's naval effectiveness on the Pacific Is meaningless because she will be unable for a quarter. or 1t may be,

----------------- PLAN IS A FAILURE,
Meeting of Irrigation Congress In Sec

Portland, August 23.-That the plan of holding the deliberations of the Ma tional Irrigation congress in sections in- itiated at the instance of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is a failure seems to be the consensus of opinion among the delegates to the congress, which is now in session at Portland, and in this view some of the government officials who have come here to address the section co-inside.
 Notwithstanding that there are in Port land about 1900 accredited delegates to the congress, not more than fifty or sev- enty-fve all told have attended the sec tional meetings either yesterday or to- day The work of the congress is being done by the resolutions committee, and the only interest that has been excited since the general session on the opening day, is over the arguments which have taken place during it's meeting.
