PRESIDENT MAKING DESPERATE
EFFORT TO PREVENT BREAK
IN PEACE CONFERENCE.

Appeals to- Both St. Petersburg and
Toxic to Induce the Warning Coun.
tries to Show Spirit Of Concession
and Not Allow Negotiations to End
In Faiiure-seven Conditions Ac.
cepted by Russian ENJOYS.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 19.-Presi'
dent Roosevelt has stepped into the
breach and is making last desperate
effort TO save the peace conference
from shipwreck. Just what the presi'
dent is doing has not transpired, but
It is regarded as certain that he has
appealed both to Toxic and St. Peters
burg to induce the warning countries
to show spirit of concession and not
allow the conference to go onto the
rocks next Tuesday. Mr.. Griscom
and Mr.. Meyer may have been in
structed to make direct appeals to
the emperors of the two countries. II
the cooperation of France and Eng
land, the allies of the respective bel
igerents, is secured something may
be accomplished. In the last resort
the main obstacle to success OF the
peace negotiations is certain to prove
to be the question of indemnity. Rus
sia will not pay "a copeck of tribute
in the language of M. Witte. That is
believed to be Russia's last word on
that question. The question Of the
cession of Sakhalin may be arranged.
But unless Japan relinquishes her
claim for 1.-The cost of the war; hope
is gone. 1t is at Toxic, consequently,
that the issue will probably be de-
cided. France, it is certain. will sup
port the presidents effort. If Eng
land will now bring pressure to bear,
as it is definitely stated she Is now
prepared to do. the situation may be
saved.
AS an indication of Intervention by
President Roosevelt came the depar-
ture early in the day of Baron Rosen,
the Russian ambassador, for Oyster
Bay. He went by direct invitation of
the president, communicated to him
by Assistant Secretary Peirce.

dred, Many Being but Slightly Hurt.
Norfolk, Va, Aug. 18.-Owing to
the inability of Engineer D. L. Reig
to control his airbrakes, an excursion
train from Kinston, N. c., bound to
this city, plunged through an open
draw over the Western branch of the
Elizabeth river eight miles from Nor
folk Thursday afternoon, and fifty
persons, mostly negroes, were
drowned. Up to late hour at night
only seven bodies had been recovered
from the wreckage. The list of in
jured, so far as can be ascertained,
numbers NEARLY 100. though most OF
these are slightly hurt.
The train, consisting of the engine
and six coaches, plunged through an
open draw of the bridge at Bruce sta
ton, the engine and one coach being
completely submerged in about six'
teen feet of water and the second
coach partly submerged.
1t is believed that every person In
the first car perished, none having yet
been accounted for. With the excep'
tion of the train crew and the promo
ters Of the excursion, all aboard were
colored. The engineer, fireman and
conductor escaped.
The train was running at rate of
fifteen or twenty miles an hour as it
approached the bridge. The specific
orders of the road to stop all trains
at the bridge whether the draw is
open or not was apparently ignored.
The train plunged into the abyss.
Both engineer and fireman discovered
the open draw too late to stop the
train. The air-brakes were applied
but did not work properly.

Blowing soap bubbles for the de,
yelopment of the lungs of nervous and
anaemie children is a treatment ad-
vised by a Montreal physician. and it
has met with remarkable and crafty
ing results. The Canadian doctor
who has devoted himself to obstetrics
has found in the latter years of his
practice that mothers in the fashion
able world object to crying babies.
and do not hesitate to sanction the
use Of opiates by nurses-and the
nurses give full and unqualified ap-
proyal-and he recites what is Well
known to every physician, that the
baby which is lulled to sleep and not
permitted to howl and yell becomes
deficient in lung power, and after
babyhood is passed is a weakling. He
has undertaken the treatment of just
this class of children by the simple
but original method of expanding and
contracting the lungs by pastime
which the sickliest child will take
hold Of with little or no persuasion.
He has devised saponaceous mix
ture which will make tough" soap
bubbles. SO that in the desire to in
crease the size of the thin-walled
globe the Atle patient will exercise
his or her lungs to the fullest extent
and the simple little trick is working
wonders.
