How the Fever Was Spread.

Twelve cases Of yellow fever have
been reported near Pointe-a-La Hache
in Plaquemine parish. They are un-
derstood to be Italians who left New
Orleans in the middle of the excite
ment, following the discovery of the
nest Of cases in the old French market
quarter. Several hundred Italians at
that time sought refuge in Plaquemine
DR.. Schayot, the health officer of Pla-
quemine, has isolated the patients, and
will repeat all the precautions that
have been taken here to" prevent the
spread of the disease. The cases are
not in contact with any settlement,
and it is not expected that there will
be any spread of the fever.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 15.-Al-
though. very rapid progress was n."te
with the peace negotiations, three 81
the twelve articles which constitute
the Japanese conditions of peace hay
ing been agreed to by de Witte and
Baron ROsen OH behalf of Russia,
neither of the two articles to which
de Wittc in his reply returned an dbl
solute negative was reached The
crisis, therefore, is still to come. 1t
may be reached today, as the cession
The three ARTICLES" as they are Off
cially designated in the brief commune
cations authorized to be given to the
press, which were disposed of yester-
day are in substance as follows:
These Points Agreed Upon.
First-Russia's recognition of ia
pans 'preponderating influence" and
special position in Korea, which Rus
STA henceforth agrees is outside of
her sphere of influence, Japan binding
herself to recognize the suZerainty of
the reignng family, but with the right
to give advice and assistance to i'm
prove the civil administration of the
empire.
Second-Mutual obligation to evacu-
ate Manchuria, each to surrender all
special privileges in that province; mu-
tual obligation to respect the terrific
rial integrity" of China, and to main
tain the principle OF equal opportunity
for the commerce and industry Of all
nations in that province.
Third-The cessiOn to China of the
Chinese Eastern railroad from Hardin
southwark.
Articles Were Never Contested.
There never was any question about
the acceptance on the part Of deSWitte
Of these articles" the first two cover
ing in more emphatic form the conten-
tons Of Japan in the diplomatic strug
gle which preceded hostilities. The
third is a natural consequence of the
result of war.
Article Missing Somewhere.
At / o'clock this morning the state
ment was made to the Associated
Press that while the facts sent regard
ing the article covering the >cession
Of the Chinese Eastern railroad to
China are correct, the third article

Trouble with the Doctors.

Some infection has existed in scat
tered quarters where local doctors
have resented the activity of inspec-
tors in cases which they have them
selves reported. Concerning a state
ment that druggists have been pre-
scribing for patients in order that fam
lilies might avoid reporting sickness to
the authorities, DIR. White said that
he did not consider it within the line
Of his duty to prosecute druggists who
prescribed without a doctors certifi-
cate, but that he would act towards
them as he would towards physicians
if he learned that they were purposely

ing Doctors and Druggists
Give Trouble.

New ORLEANS, La, Aug. 15.-Partly
as result of left over cases from
Sunday, and partly from the fact that
the inspectors were able to put in
full days work, there was again
large number Of new cases of yellow
fever reported, the bulk of them, as
before, coming from below Canal
street. That section is now very gen
orally infected, though there are some
areas Of it whic hhave thus far entire
ly escaped. The official report to 6
p. N. shows: New cases, 55; total to
date, LOIS: deaths yesterday, u; total
deaths to date, 166; new foci, 8; total
fOci to date, 21O.
Serious Epidemic Not Expected.
Slow progress is made by the disease
in what is known as the American
portion Of the city, and with few eX-
ceptiOnS the cases there are isolated.
The health authorities are still unable
to assert whether the high water mark
in the matter of daily cases has been
reached, and they consider it too early
to hazard. guess at the extent of
the victory which they expect to win,
but with large proportion Of the
cases responding to good treatment
they do not believe there is any chance
that the disease can approach to the
proportion of any of the serious cpl
denies of the past, though the popula-
ton of New Orleans is almost double
what it was in 1873.

In hearty accord. then, with this
plan, and in order to start the move

south, we earnestly call upon the peo-
pie to assemble in their respective
voting precincts, beat or militia dis

1905, at l O'Clock p. m. and elect a
precinct chairman for each precinct
and county and also appoint a com

be held at each county seat on Thurs
day, February 10th, 1905, which shall
elect its own officers and elect one
representative to a state convention
at your state capital on Tuesday, Feb

your representative from the county

who will be certain to attend the state

THESE FIGURES MOST AMAZING.

The st. Louis Republic has been
juggling with divorce statistics and
finds that during the past thirty
years there have been 100000 di-
vOrces in the United States. From
these figures it estimates that fully
l, 100000 men and women and
100000 children have been af-
fected by the divorce evil; and that
a natural increase in the population
amounting to II, 1000, 900 has been
thwarted.
We are afraid the Republic has
exaggerated the situation some.
1t is not likely that these 700, 900
couples would have been blessed
with total of II, 900, 900 children
had they remained together. That
would have been nearly twenty
three children per family, some
thing above the average, it must
be admitted.
Such statistics remind one of the
estimates of Jim, the colored COM
panion of Huckleberry Finn, who,
understanding Solomon to have
had 1000, 900 wives, estimated his
progeny at 5000, 1000. If Jim had
estimated from the basis used by
the Republic, Solomon's progeny,
assuming the number of his wives
to have been million, would have
numbered 23,OOO,OOO.
That would have been family
that Mr.. Roosevelt would have
gloried in.

DOOR OF HOPE is EVER
In twelve Southern states negroes

In twelve Southern states negroes
own $4,000 farms and support
$4,000 churches. They also own
large amount of town property.
The negroes of the South possess
about $500, 900, 900 worth of prop
erty. These figures are given by
Booker Washington. The Wash
ington Post thinks it would not be
extravagant to add another $780,,
900, 900, thus giving in round num-
bers $500, OOO,OOO of wealth for the
100000 negroes in the United
States, which is $44 per capita.
This is a pretty good showing
for the colored brother, who is but
one generation removed from slav-
cry. AS the Post says:
Certainly it suggests that the
colored man and brother, in the
Southern States at least, is not Sc
riously handicapped so far as con-
Germs his efforts tOaccumulate prop
erty of marketable description.
eve gather, in fact, the impress
sion that Southern negroes are
quite free to pursue profitable avo-
cations, to acquire wealth and tC
provide homes for their families,
and, as Prof. Washington has al
ready shown, they enjoy equal adj
vantages with the whites when il
comes to swearing off their taxa
BILE values with the assessor.
"All things considered, therefore
it seems a good time for calling il
this eternal cry about the square
deal, the downtrodden negro, The
door of hope, and all the rest of it
| Perhaps, if some gentleman with {
gift for computation were to calcu
late the per capita wealth of tn,
whites and the blacks, respectively
in this country, he would find tina
Prof. Washington's pleas for tn
exaltation of his race have alread,
, received a favorable response"
"Certainly," continues the Post
"the negro is doing very well, AM
quite as clearly he is doing so with
= out opposition by the whites. l
the negro doesn't go on and d
still better for himself he alon
will be to blame"
