CHOLERA IN GERMANY
The Remarkable Spread OF the Ter
rOr Within a Week.

Berlin. Aug. 31.-The spread of
cholera from two localities on the
River Weichsel five days ago to thirty
four cases in twelve localities, extend
ing from the Baltic to the River War,
$50 miles south. and its appearance
in Hamburg, has given an unpleasant
thrill to the people of Germany, for it
may mean a long and steady fight, as
in 1928. to prevent the disea Sc
from getting beyond control. In these
years il is estimated that 100000 per-
sons died in Russia from cholera.
The Prussian government is keenly
aware of. the possibilities of the dan
ger, which so far is not regarded as
giving occasion for apprehension. A
committee of the cabinet. consisting
of DR.. Studt, minister of medical af-
fairs; Herr Won Sudde, minister of
state and minister of public works;
Herr Moller, minister of commerce
and industry, and DR.. Won Bethmann
Holweig, minister of the interior has
the central direction of the preventive
measures. Numerous bacteriologists
have been sent into the infected dis
tricts to assist in the surveillance of
persons who have contracted cholera.

Portsmouth, n. H, Aug. 31.-Rapid
progress has been made today in the
drafting of the treaty of peace. Baron
Komura at NJ Whites request tomorrow
viii probably fix a day for It's sigma
ture. Russia's consent to a suspen-
sion of hostilities reached NJ. Witte
tonight in a cablegram from Count
Lamsdorff. whom Emperor Nicholas
has empowered to deal with this i'm
portant phase of the negotiations.
Although General Linevitch has been
informed OF the practical conclusions of
peace and has been directed to hold
himself in readiness to open with Field
Marshal Oyama negotiations for an
armistice, the order for the suspen-
sion of hostilities and the signing of
the truce will no go forward from st.
Petersburg until NJ. Witte has been
informed by Baron Komura that the
emperor of Japan mas also given his
consent and has empowered Field Mar
shall Oyama to conduct negotiations
with the Russian commander in the
field.
Having advised General Linevitch of
the situation, Russia will not hold her
self responsible for any clash which
may occur before Japan has consented
to an armistice. On this point, now
ever, no serious anxiety is felt here and
the Japanese reply is momentarily ex-
Pected.

M. WHITES ROASTING.
He Claims Credit for the Unexpected
Terms Accorded Russia.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 31.-M. White,
interviewed at Portsmouth, n. H. by
the SlovO's correspondent, is reported
to have said: You see what one gains
by standing firm. I was in a frightful
position. I had not the right to ac-
cept a compromise, and a rupture
seemed likely to enlist the sympathies
of all on the side of Japan. President
Roosevelt appealed to my patriotism.

Indifferent tone that it eventually car

presented their written conditions l
laid them aside without looking at
them and spoke of something else In

CHICAGO PRINT STRIKE
The Strikers Claim That the hOve-
meat is Complete.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-An acute stage
has been reached in a new labor war
in Chicago. Nineteen OF the larger job
printing houses Of Chicago were with
out union compositors this evening, the
result of a series of strikes inaugural
ed by Typographical Union No. 16,
against the members of the Chicago
typothetae, the purpose of the strikers
being to compel the typothetae as an
organization to accept the demands for
CLOSED shop" and that eight hours
constitute a days work. Further
strikes are expected in case other
houses undertake to do work for con-
Germs at which strikes nave been be-
gun as result of the posting of notices
of an intention to inaugurate the open
shop and nine hours where it is
claimed contrary conditions had been
the rule.
Pending such assistance to the strike
affected firms the strike leaders pro-
nounced the strike complete and de-
clared the outcome a matter of endur-
ance, a spread here or to other cities
not being contemplated for the pres
ent at least. Not counting the other
employees in the nineteen printing
houses involved, printers to the num-
ber of nearly 500 are idle. The strikers
claim that eight large establishments
will remain neutral not accepting work
for houses where strikes are in progress
and that in the eight and elsewhere
$500 members of the union will be at
work helping to supply funds for the
strike benefits
Among the establishments at which
today the latest strikes were inaugural
ed were Poole Brothers. NJ. a. Dono-
hue and company and the Methodist
lrNIy
tion of the officials of the typographical
unions Secretary Hamm of the typo
thetae says emphaticalIy that he does
not know of a single desertion and that
the effect of the strike here would be
easy to overcome in short order.
At the union headquarters today, it
leaked out that union printers from
various parts of the country are taking
advantage of the offer of the Chicago
strike affected print shops to come to
this city in the guise of strike breakers
all travelling expenses paid. After
reaching here the unionists desert in
stantly.

REeELLIoUs JAPANESE.
A Oishonerahle Peace Leaves their
Dead Heroes in Dishonored Graves.

Toxic, Aug. 31.-The attitude of the
Japanese government indicates that
there is no immediate intention to issue
a formal statement relating to the re-
suit of the conference. 1t is possible
that Japan's ENJOYS to Portsmouth, n.
H, will publish statement at the ter
mination of their labors
The foreign Office intimates that there
will be no publication here until a sign
ed copy of the treaty reached the en-
peror and its approval is gazetted
which viii probably be month hence
or until Baron Komura appears before
the diet and makes a report on the
peace conference and it's results. The
date for the assembling of the diet has
not yet been determined.
Premier Katsura and Marquis Ito are
the recipients of numerous protests and
memorials against the versions of the
settlement of the war as given by the
newspapers.
The YoroZu Shimbun, an independent
radical newspaper, attacks the peace
pact opening its criticism with the
words "arise brethern." It then re-
views the agitation for a representative
government with the power of treaty
revision and recalls the attempt to as
assinate Okuma. saying the people
never remained quiet when the national
interests were menaced."

will be humiliated Unles the people act
strongly against the Portsmouth set
tlement. 1t asks: why should the

liant victories on land and sea

THE DEFEAT OF PORTSMOUTH.
So Japanese Papers Universally Re
gard the Terms of Peace.

Toxic, Aug. 31.-A remarkable alb
sence of rejoicing is one of the most
striking features attendant upon the
receipt Of the news that a practical
conclusion of the peace has been
reached The kind of reception that
awaits definite news will depend en-
tirely upon the nature of the terms
1t is generally feared that extensive
concessions have been made by Japan
It has been generally expected by the
public and hoped that there would be
rupture at Portsmouth, in view of
what was termed Russia's obduracy in
refusing the payment of indemnity
The Jill this morning says: AN
agreement arrived at without a rup-
ture can only mean that great conces-
sions have been made by our pIenipo-
tentiaries. A peace concluded upon
such terms can never satisfy the ma
ton
The Main Ichi says: I'VE are dis
appointed. We only hoped that there
would be a suspension of the peace
conference. 1t is impossible under
the circumstances to conclude an hon
orable peace. The fruits of our arms
have been lost by weak diplomacy.
Japan. victorious in the field. has been
defeated in the conference chamber
The Michinichi says: 1--WE feel sur
prised and wonder how peace could
have been concluded when everything
indicated the impossibility of making
Russia accept the vital demands of
our terms. In the absence of official
confirmation of the terms. it is impos-
sible to form a final opinion, but the
indications are that nothing will en-
sure peace with peace with terms that
are dishonOrable."
The minor papers are generally
angry, and say that peace obtained
upon the terms reported is a humili-
ating one.

METALS.

New York, Aug. Sf.-The London
copper market added to its decline of

the situation is considered abnormal.
Many authorities claim there is plen-
ty of copper to go around, but imme-
diately available supplies are in a few
strong hands and, while it is believed
that forward business can be done
quite freely around 16R cents, those
who need spot supplies are made to
pay high prices. Lake and electro

nationanl pride seems to be offended
by the cession of a part of the island
of Sakhalin. Yesterday the people
spoke of "today's shame" meaning
peace.
Many of the utterances show evi-
dences of regret that the army has
not been given another chance to try
the fortune of war, though no one
questions or undertakes the humanity
of the course followed by President
Roosevelt, the plenipotentiaries and
Emperor Nicholas. The tone of many
of the utterances concerning peace
induces one to believe that a further
sacrifice of human lives would not be
acceptable if the national self respect
could be regained thereby.
One word of Gisapproval of the
terms from Toxic, suggesting that ia
pan did not desire to be bound by the
terms, might result i'm a fiare-up here
in defense of the war and the national
honor. Embittered by what they de-
clare to be a dishonorable peace, the
extreme patriots do not always re-
frain from criticising President ROose-
welt and the American people, who
they declare have offended Russian
sentiment by undertaking the Russian
preparations, strength and ability to
cope with the Japanese.
The people almost without exception
welcome peace, and express the hope
that the shackles which kept American
enterprise out of Russia will be re-
moved. Preferences for American en-
terprises in Russia and against Ger

''An we could have expected was the
avoidance of diplomatic defeat. This
seems to have been accomplished"
The NovOe Vremya: Japan is dis
satisfied with the peace. So are we.
President Roosevelt was in favor Of
Russia cedeing the Island of Sakhalin
and paying an indemnity. This does
not please us. This peace is only one
phase in our relations with Japan.
which are only beginning. We shall
rest and then doubtless go on. AS men
who have spent eighteen months to-
gether we now shake each other by the
hand and say au revOir. The English
and American capitalists should rejoice
over the peace"
The Sloyo says that peace should
have been concluded before the battle
of the Sea of Japan, adding: "Then we
would have not lost any territory. The
present agreement with Japan may re-
suit with relations which will reward
us and heal the wounds inflicted on
Russian patriotism by the war
The Syn Ortechestva says What
ever We may have paid at
Portsmouth, it was not the price
of peace, but of war. We fear that sec
ret articles have been signed which are
disadvantageOus to Russia"
The Ma Sha Shishu remarks: I'VE
must acknowledge that the peace terms
are most disadvantageous. We cannot
rejoice over them. We have lost too
much"
The Svet says: General Linevitc1l's
army Is not destroyed. The present
treaty puts off but does not exclude
war, only a bucket of cold water has
been poured over it out of the foun-
tain of humanity with which President
Roosevelt is now irTigating all the
world"
The Bourse Gazette says: The war
has forced Russia to open her eyes to
her rotten political foundations and to
her ignorance of the disorder of the
army and IN fact of all branches of the
