the return to Russia of a half million

Japan Ready to Fight On.
Toxic. Aug 25.AThe japanese news
paper Jill declares that any compromise
relating to the purchase of the island of
Sakhalin as reimbursement for the cost
of the war would leave Japan loser, as
both items are vitality important and a
compromise is impossible. The Jill
says:
Peace conferred in such form cannot
satisfy US and cannot be solid. Rupture
would be preferable to such a sacrifice
PrOlongation of the war means a hard
struggle on our part, but we would rather
suffer any hardship than consent to a
reduction or alteration of our demands" P"
The Nichi Nichi favors consultation
of the war, over imperfect peace, say
ing: mo sacrifice is too great to secure
perfect peace in the Orient for which
we are fighting. There is not dissent
ing voice in the empire against carrying
out our purpose whatever sacrifices may
be entailed.''

New Orleans, Aug. 25.-If all houses
are properly disinfected and screened
there are reasonable hopes of a com
plete cessation of yellow fever on or
before october 1, was the message of
hope given by Surgeon White to a
meeting that filed st. Paul's Episcopal
church and over which Bishop Ses-
sums presided. If the citizens will but
do their part, the doctor said, they will
deserve the commentator of the civil
lied world.
1t is anticipated that when the au-
thorities feel that their system is per-
feet there will be an effort to weed out
the cases of malarial and dengue fever
from actual yellow fever and when
that comes to pass the evidence will
be clear of how successful has been
the work of controlling the disease.
Governor Blanchard continues his
efforts to keep business moving. He
has put himself into communication
with railroad officials and has ascer-
tanned that the roads are anxious to
maintain service if permitted to do so
by the various committees. President
Souchan of the state board will go to
Patterson on Saturday to investigate
the conditions there. The people of
that town would like the board to take
entire charge and it may do so.
Considerable trouble is had with the
Italian community at Good Hope, near
the Mississippi Valley road, a short
distance above New Orleans. An
emergency hospital has been erected
but the Italians are in rebellion against
it and there is not sufficient police
force to compel them to submit to the
regulations.
DR.. Ehlert left here today and was
joined by Health Officer Aucoin OF
Assumption at Shriver. They will GO
to Bayou Boeuf to investigate condi-
tions there. DR.. Chassaigne reports

I4DROWNED.
Much Damage to Property by
Flood Near Trinidad, Col.

Trinidad, Col, Aug. 25.-At noon Cor
oner Espey received a message from
Hastings stating that II bodies had been
recovered at the scene of last nights
food. The coroner left at once on
horseback for the place.
Joseph Veltri, his wife and three chill
dren are reported to have been drown
ed, their house at Tabasco having been
washed away.
The Colorado and Southern branch
line to BerWind was washed away and
a heavy volume of water rushed down
the canon all night, making it impossi-
bic to penetrate to the point where the
loss of life is said to have occurred
RumOrS are in circulation that twelve
to twenty houses were swept down the
canon, and 25 to 35 lives lost. These
reports are still unverified. Traffic on
the Colorado and Southern, the Santa
Fe and the Rio Grande is interrupted
owing to the washouts in this vicinity.
According to information received
from Hastings this morning, possibly
fourteen persons were drowned in the
flood at TabaSco, 16 miles north of Trim
idad, yesterday evening. Seven houses
occupied by Austrian and Italian labor
ers and their families were swept away.
TabaSco and BerWind, coal mining
camps, having together about 1000 peo-
pie, are located in Rhode canon, usual
ly dry gulch. Yesterdays cloudburst
is the first that has occurI ed there since
the towns were built. Berwind is mile
below Tabasco and the flood was not of
so great force there as at TabaSco,
much of the water having sunk in the
sand and run off into tributary arroyas-
Considerable damage was done to the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company's and
Colorado and Southern property. Par
ties leaving Trinidad for the scene of
the flood were unable to go through on
account of WaShOutS.

should the suggestion made be acted
upon, Kansas will be a state of the nm

reported:
I'VE find that the majority of the
roads in the state of Kansas are in a
deplorable condition and we favor
radical action looking towards the
Improvement of the conditions now
existing We favor a legislative enact
ment that will enable the trustee OF a
township to make a levy of mills for
three years. The money raised by TINS
levy to be expended in improving the
roads of the township voting the levy.
We are also in favor of all taxes being
paid in cash instead of permitting a
taxpayer to work out his taxes on the
road, as this is not satisfactory in
many instances. We are in favor OF
one man acting as road oVerSeer and
that he be paid such a salary that he
can give his time to the work of keep
ing the roads in condition. We would
like to urge upon every carrier that
the advocating of the use of drags
among the patrons of his route means
better roads and better time for him in
making his route. We further urge
that every carrier shall do everything
in his power to secure the enforce
the enforcement of these two laws will
have a great deal to do with the bet

district in good shape with a small

should be but one man in each town.
ship whose duty it is to look after the
roads and he should be paid salary
for the work. I think that instead of
the present system relative to poll tax
that the poll tax should be reduced to
81 per year and that made payable in
cash. L find that 81 in cash will buy
much more service that 81 in work
when the work is done by inexperi-
enced men,. Another thing l find is
that the same conditions which will
put the roads in a bad state of repair
also puts the farmers fields in the

dition, and in good shape again. Il
