ing the decline Of the yellow fever
scourge within the city Of New Or
leans. The oppressive weather. how,
ever, added to the consuming ten.

the large number Of deaths reported.

deaths 2O1.
For the first time since the federal
authorities have assumed charge of
the situation the professional reserve

Of strict disciplinarians to comment

which pervades the actions Of the

Outside of New Orleans, however,
the circumstances are somewhat dif.

IN Riverside de plaptatie - there Is
for concern. The numerous swamps
in that locality afford ample breeding
ground for the mosquito and the In
sect is not as easily destroyed.

Now Being Negotiated at Ports
mouth Will Yet Be An Ac-
coimplished Fact
The President Very Active and
a Most Important Factor in
the Proceedings

Portsmouth, N. H.. Aug. 23.-The
Associated Press is now in q position
to reveal substantially the suggestion
of President Roosevelt for breaking
the existing deadlock in the peace
negotiations and rescuing the confer
ence from failure. His solution would
ingeniously permit the satisfaction Of
the Japanese demands for reimburse
ment for the cost OF the war and at
the same time enable Russia to face
the world with the declaration that
she had not ceded foot Of territory
nor paid kopeck Of war tribute to
the victor. The solution is the one
which has heretofore been described
In the Associated Press dispatches as
the natural and logical compromise.
Tersely stated, it consists In an agree
ment by Russia to repurchase posses.
sion Of either all or half Of the island
Of Sakhalin now in the military occu-
patton Of Japan. for sum, the
amount Of which II the two countries
cannot agree, shall be decided by
some method OF arbitration hereafter
TO be determined. The purchase
money, together with the sum Japan.
would obtain from the cession Of the
Chinese Eastern railroad and the
maintenance Of the Russian prisoners
n Japan, would, It Is estimated, about
equal the amount claimed by Japan,
rs her bill for the cost Of the war
Possibly, therefore, the solution Of
fered by the president involves recess
sion by Japan upon Article (the ces-
sion Of sakhalin) and recession by.
Russia upon Article Qnd demnity)
