ADRIFT ON LAKE MICHIGAN.
Young Woman and Man Have
THRILLING Experience.

Thrilling Experience.
Chicago, Aug. 23-After being
atioat on Lake Michigan since Sunday
evening in a small rowboat John
Chartres and Miss Zelda Stewart of
Evanston were were rescued late yes
terday afternoon Both of them were
in a precarious condition because of
exposure and lack of nourishment and
sleep. Sunday afternoon Charities
called at the residence of Miss
Stewart and asked her to go boat rid
ing on the lake. They rented a small
skiff from a fisherman and went out
into the lake. About two hours after
they departed a squall swept over the
lake and when nothing was heard of
the couple it was thought that they
had either been lost or blown out to
the middle of the lake and there
picked up by some passing steamer
Yesterday afternoon while the life
saving crew Of Evanston was pa
trolling the lake in an effort to find
some trace of them the boat was dis
covered ten miles off shore. Chartres
explained that during the squall one
of his oars was broken and that being
unable to propel the boat after that he
had devoted all his energies to keep
| ing it afioat and out of the trough Of
! the sea which at times was exceeding
| ly rough. His strength was about
gone when he and Miss Stewart were
discovered, and he declared he could
not have held out for another night

Boston, Mass, Aug. 23.-The Adver-
tiser prints an interview on the pro-
posed Russian parliament with An
drew d. White, former ambassador to
Russia. Mr.. White is spending the
summer at Gloucester. He said iii
part:
while concessions made by the
car are considerably short Of hopes,
they appear to be the beginning of
what may prove a constitution suitable
to the empire. | never believed in es-
tablishing a system of absolute uni
versal suffrage throughout the empire
at the start. To do that in a country
where ignorance is the rule with the
peasantry would be fatal. The natural
result would be all sorts of wild pro
ceedings which would soon lead to a
reaction and the closing of any legis-
lative body elected by such suffrage.
"There is no denying that the con-
stitution foreshadOws in the reports
which have come to us. First Of all,
absolute autocracy remains. There is
no guarantee for carrying out what
there is of good in the system, save
the czar's word, and that, it must be
confessed, has not proved to be thus
far u thing on which those who have
received it can rely very firmly.
eff he would stand by his best men,
such, for example as Mr.. WHITE, in So
cial affairs, and Mr. Martens, we
might hope for great Improvement
Unfortunately there is no certainty

NOT FOR BIG LANDHoLDERs.
Irrigation Congress Committee De-
feats Resolution.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 23.-The ma
tional irrigation congress yesterday
considered subjects kindred to the
reclamation of arid lands, in sectional
meetings. The resolutions commit
tee, before which the actual work Of
the congress is proceeding, emphatic
ally set it's foot down yesterday on
the foreign immigration resolution in
troduced at the general session Mon
day. The subject has been disposed
of temporarily. Another resolution
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1905-08-28

that the same influences which have
been so fatal to Russia thus far in the
keeping of these men in the back
ground will not be equally powerful
| in the future.
The great dangers in the proposed
parliament are probably two. First,
dissensions among liberal Russians
themselves, arising from the fact that
there has never been any discussion of
public questions allowed, either
Through the press or through public
meetings. The result of this is that
each thinking Russian develops his
own ideas with no opportunity to COM
pare them with those of anybody else,
or to submit them to any proper dis
cussion, and so virtually believes they
are divinely inspired and a0hors any
one who takes different view.
eoThe other main danger is that the
autocratic power may at any time,
either alarmed by such discussions or
under pretext of danger from them,
close the whole proceedings of things.
"Still we may hope that these con-
cessions recently made may at any
rate make it more difficult for the
czar, the grand dukes and the court
party in general to restore the old or
der, and may afford opportunities for
bringing in a constitution which shall
give really more chance for the think
ing men throughout the empire to take
some part in public affairs"

LOOMS to Retire.

MGAlCO pOSIs
Loomis to Retire
In connection with the appoint
ment the name OF Francis B. Loomis,
assistant secretary of state, has peen
mentioned, but it can be said pretty
definitely that he will not be appoint
cd. His resignation as assistant Sec
rotary of state may be expected at
any time 1t is certain that he is to
retire from the state department, but
whether he will receive an appoint
ment in the diplomatic service, as has
been suggested, is thought to be some
what problematical.
The president last night authorized
the publication of the correspondence
which passed between him and Am
bassador Conger with regard to the
latter's resignation. Mr. Conger's
letter gives private business as the
reason for resigning, expresses regret
at leaving the service and thanks the
president for many evidences OF con
| fidence received from him. The
president in his letter to Mr.. Conge1
says:
81 have received your resignation
to take effect October 10, 1905, and
accept it for that date. In thus &C
cepting it I desire to express to you
my cordial appreciation of the worl
you have performed in China, as pre-
viously in Brazil. In zeal, efficiency
and singIeminded devotion to public
duty, you have been the kind of an of
fetal of whom Americans have right
to feel proud, and I congratulate the
country upon having had your serv

FEVER RECORD.

New Orleans. Aug. 23.-The EarR-
That there was slight change yeseeg--
day from the record of several dzEss
was accepted by the federal autfUrGa
ties as confirming their expressions 0E
the encouraging nature OF the yegIOsy
fever situation. The fever fignterg
contend that if the disease is held EE.
check at the very period when f.
ought to be on the ascending scale Ut
virulence and when both the cases
and deaths should be leaping to alaEMs-
ing figures there is no reason wnpr
they should reserve opinions that ting
worst is over. Nevertheless, word has
gone down the line from Headquarters
that there must be no cessation or the
measures recommended as neceSsarB
to continued control of the situation
Relaxation now would only give tbs
fever an opportunity to gain fressa
hold upon the community and watAp
three months intervening before rSGaG
it is felt any want Of vigilance m'gw
undo all the good that has already
been done.
The deaths yesterday were again
principally of persons bearing foreign
lanes. An exception was ArthaE
Hill, an employe of one of the larms
wholesale drygoods houses.
MIIionaire's Son jailed.
In spite of all the agitation tfisra
has been on the subject, some clR~
terms still remain unscreened and Easas
police have received orders to spare
no one who shows an indispositiOn 1cr

street offices yesterday Newman Cg~-
dered them Olrt and then barred thBN
doors. Newman later went to police
headquarters and was arrested amt &
locked up. Later he was released.
His excuse for not screening, the cisa,
terms was oversight.
Additional nurses were sent to Pat
terson and Riverside, both in st. Mary
parish, yesterday AT these two pointE
exist the largest number of cases any
where outside of the city, but the
fever continues to manifest itself In a
type exceedingly mild.
Tom Taggart to Help
Among yesterdays kilograms to the
mayor was one from the democratic
campaign manager. Thomas Taggart,
of indianapolis. He wrote of his in
terest and sympathy and offered largo
contributions Of water from Frenca
Lick for the hospitals and for poor pas
TENTS. The offer was accepted.
Some surprise is expressed here az
the announcement from Jackson thas
the fever at Mississippi City has BEEN
declared epidemic. 1t is not believer
the number of cases reported FROM
there is sufficient to cause alarm, ana.
owing to the mildness of the type
local authorities see no reason why fl
should not be held in check

Another slight furry was created
by the arrival of Col Michael, the

President Closely Watched.
ST. Petersburg, Aug. 22-The. eff
feet of President ROOsewe1t2s person
al influence towards recOncf1ing the
differences between the Russian and
Japanese pienipotentiaries is being
watched with closest attention here.
Though all save the highest represen-
tatives of the foreign office are in ig
norance Of the exact status of the ne
gotiations, it is felt generally that the
negotiations are ON the verge of a
deadlock. The public at large has
practically reconciled itself to the ap-
parent necessity of continuing the
war and there is only ONE opinion
about the desirability of peace-af OBJ
tainable without humiliation. The
action, therefore, of the president is
far from unwelcome
A growing conviction is noticeable
in official circles that if the confer
ence fails it will be because of the ixa-
ability to agree upon the question Of
indemnity, which is regarded now as
practically the only point ON which
there is no hope of agreement, nnless

Russian Reply Received.
Portsmouth, N H., Aug. pa long
cable message from ST. Petersburg,
believed to be the Russian reply, ar
rived as ten last night and Minister
Whites secretaries Immediately be-
gan deciphering it. Considerable ex
element was apparent in the annex
where the Russian headquarters are
located. Sheet by sheet the trans
lation was taken to Whites room.
There was a rumor that it is a refus-
ala non pOssumus, a reiteration of
Russia's position that she has given
ample proof of her desire for peace in
the articles already accepted and that
she cannot yield with dignity and
honor.

.4n1id Scenes of LDtdest Enthusiasm Senator Piles
Is Chosen and Great Cro1ud Gives Ovati0n to Mr.:
Sweeny IFS Man Uho Brought Ab0ut Election

going into the camp of Piles and the
King county delegation include a
number of considerations earnestly
desired by the people east of the Cas-
cades.
These include the federal district
ing Of the state east and west divi-
sion, which will give to Spokane the
federal offices for the eastern dis
trict; cooperation of King county
with the east side in giving support
to President Roosevelt in his efforts
to extend the scope of authority of
the interstate commerce commission
and an absolute promise Of an ade-
quate railway commission bill at this
session of the legislature.
1t is supposed an agreement exists
to support Sweeny for the United
States senate to succeed Ankeny.
This morning, before the balloting,
the Foster men said they did not see
how the SweenyPiles combination
could win and that the ballot would
not show for any candidate today.
The Piles men claimed 73 legisla-
tors pledged to the program, all but
four of whom signed a paper to that
effect.

An inquest to inquire into the
death of Alice Bennett will be held
by Coroner Witter next Monday after
noon.
f. b. Holland, the motorman on the
car which caused the death of the
little girl, gave himself up at the
police station last night, believing
he would be arrested on a charge of
manslaughter. Through the interven-
ton of The Washington Water Power
company he was released on $1,000
bail.
The disposition of the charge Of
manslaughter now standing against
the motorman will depend upon the
facts elected at the inquest.
From what could be learned today
from eye witnesses to the accident
there is likely to be conflict on the
question of the motorman's conduct.
