the Coming Peace Conference.
Berlin, July 24.-The foreign office
here is advised that a meeting be-
tween Emperor William and Emperor
Nicholas took place early today off
the Swedish coast near the island of
Bjoerkoe.
Emperor Nicholas wrote to Emperor
William several days ago that if dur
should approach the Russian shore he
emperor Nicholas) would be pleased
to meet him. The German emperor
replied that he would be glad to cruise
to any convenient point and the island
of Bjoerkoe was suggested. 1t was
understood that the conversation was
to be entirely personal and intimate
and therefore no officials from either
of the governments was to be present,
although the Russian minister of ma
rine is in Emperor Nicholas suite.
The meeting is a sequel to the cor
respondence that has been going on
between the emperors concerning
peace, in which Emperor William
urged Emperor Nicholas to take steps
toward peace. Emperor William was
then cooperating with President
Roosevelt seeking to bring the bellig-
erents to a discussion of terms of
peace, and in the present meeting the
Associated Press is authoritatively in
formed Emperor William will contin-
ue to advise peace should the Rus
sian emperor ask for further views.
and it would be very natural that EN-
peror Nicholas should do SO as a de-
Velopment of the correspondence which
which has already taken place.
Emperor William went to the meet
ing as the Associated Press is official
ly informed, prepared to say if he
were asked that though Emperor Mich
olas could attain a full understanding
and reconciliation with the discomfort
ed portions of his people only through
reforms. The German government
is interested in seeing the neighboring
country peaceful and prosperous for
it is toward the Russian empire that
Germany's manufacturers look for
greater trade expansion in the future.
The German emperor is most reluc-
tant to have either the Russians or
others think that he is volunteering
suggestions regarding the internal af-
fairs of Russia. He is not doing so,
but will only give his personal views
on their being asked for
Emperor William has the fullest in
formation regarding the Russian sit
uation, and may be able to give Empe-
ror Nicholas statements of fact and
deductions from them that are un-
known to the Russian emperor.
So far as the rumors in other cap
itals that a scheme is af1oat to com
bine several of the powers in giving
Russia moral support against the Japa-
nese negotiations soon to be opened
at Portsmouth, N H, concerning Ger
many, are denied explicitly. Germany's
policy of non-interference, it is de-
clared, remains the same.

effect here by the state, city and fed
era authorities with a view to the
yellow fever in case there is any
spread from the foci now under con
troll.

market, where the fever had its origin.
Meanwhile there is widespread conf

the state, and they will successfully
apply the mosquito theory, and there
have been no exodus from the city.
Large numbers of home people are
returning to New Orleans from the

owing to the rigidity of the quaran-
tines that have been put into effect.
The state board of health is in ses-
sion today. The city council will meet
tomorrow and pass a mosquito ordi-
nance which has been recommended
by the health authorities.
United States Army Surgeon Moss,
Of San Antonio, arrived today with a
view to examining into the conditions.
He comes in connection with the rec
ommendatiOn for the removal of the
troops now at the United States bar
racks to Chattanooga. There is no
sickness reported at the barracks, but
as many of the soldiers are unaccli-
mated, it has been considered advisa-
BILE to ask their removal from New Or
leans.
The health authorities continue to-
insist that there is absolutely no occa-
sion for alarm and that if people will
follow the directions that are being
published, the fever can be restricted,
successfully treated and stamped out.
