More interest centers here now in the
question Of whether or not the yellow
fever germ is to be discovered as re-
suit Of the investigations in progress
than the fever itself. DIR. Pothier in his
report says a careful study of the yel-
low fever blood has shown the regular
occurrence of certain cells hitherto eithl
er unnoticed or not described, which
seem to be undergoing deyelopmental
change. In 35 separate cases, these cells
have only once been found after the
third day of fever and on the fourth. 1t
Is admitted that stegomyia only be-
comes infected II she bites the patient
within the first three days Of illness.
DIR. Pothier makes no claim that his in
vestigations have established the germ
but says If the same cell Is found in the
body of the mosquito during the IL days
of her infection, and II il tallies In every
respect with the cell in the human blood,
he will be able to announce his discov-
cry. Though the deaths are more nu-
merous today than on Saturday. the fe-
yer situation today is regarded as show
ing unmistakable signs Of improvement.

ENGLISH PEOPLE SATISFIED
New Treaty Forms Safeguard Against
Reneval Of Disturbances In the Far
Esst-Countries Now In Position to
Control India and Asia.

London, Wednesday, Sept. 27.-The
text OF the new agreement between
Great Britain and Japan which was sign.
ed BY Lord Lansdowne, the British for.
eign secretary, and Baron Hayashi, the
japanese minister 10 Great Britain on

ofiice late last evening.
The momentous document Is a brief
one, comprising less than 800 words, in.
cluding eight articles and preamble.
The main features Of the new agreement
has already been forecasted in the As.
sociated Press dispatches from London
and Paris. The articles Of the official
text, however, bring out forcefully the
tremendous importance TO both coun.
tries Of this alliance, which practically
makes Great Britain Japan, and Japan
Great Britain for the purpose Of de.
fense "in the regions OF East Asia and
India"
This inclusion Of India specifically as
a point at which any aggression by any
foreign. power will call for the assist
anee Of Japan, finds much favor with
the press Of London.
Baron Hayashi, who was interviewed
by the Associated Press after the publ.
catoin OF the agreement said:
"The new treaty forms an effective
safeguard against the renewal Of the dis.
turbances In the Far East. That Is its
object. We cannot say that permanent
peace has been secured, but we can aver
that tranquility has been assured for a
long time 10 come"
While there is some criticism Of the
treaty in the radical newspapers, ii is
only half hearted, as the whole OF Lon.
don greets 1t with great satisfaction as
positive assurance OF the further as.
sistance Of q powerful Oriental ally in
all matters pertaining TO Far Eastern
politics.
