The japanese and Russian peace envoys
have at last entered upon their actual task
the consideration OF terms Of peace-at
Portsmouth, n. HI. NJ. Witte, the chief
Russian envoy, arrived at New York last
week. He gave out an interview Of some
what doleiul tenor, and predicted that the
Japanese proposals would be such that the
conference would speedily end without
the accomplishment Of its object. It IS
manifestly the Russian policy TO talk this
way. while the japanese allow 4 to go that
their terms will be severe. Nobody out
side vet knows what they are, or what
Russia will assent to.
The task OF bringing the two commits
sions together was skilfully performed by
President Roosevelt. Saturday, be re-
ceived the japanese and Russian envoys
on his yacht, the Mayhower, al New York,
introduced them and greeted them otheial-
IL. Then the party sailed to Oyster Bay,
where there was a luncheon. The Japa-
nese sailed on the Dolphin for Portsmouth.
Witte and Rosen went on the Maytiower
to Newport, then by train TO Boston, then
10 Portsmouth. The federal government
has fitted up luxurious quarters In new
building for the accomm odatiOn OF the en-
VOWS. and guards them from interference.
The next few days will determine the ma
ture of the outcome.

PRICE THREE CENTS

The Central Vermont Railway company
is installing electric bells at the Pleasant

village FOR the greater safety Of the public
The bells hang on white posts surmounted
BY a hollow triangle whose arms bear in
large black letters this message Cross
ing dangerous when this bell rings
The bells are on the north side OF the track
close 10 the highway, and begin to ring
as soon a a train from the north or south
is within a thousand feet OF either cross

length OF time 10 be liked by experiment
when the apparatus Is completed. h. r.
Harvey OF ST. Albans is doing the work.
This device will probably be cheaper TO
maintain than gates and fiagmen and, II
kept in order, ought TO prevent re- kless
drivers or pedestrians from rushing in
front Of limited express or numbering
freight to save a minute at the risk Of
losing all further interest in the flight OF
time SO far no one has been killed at
these crossings, though hardly day
passes hat bystanders are not given cold
chills by witnessing the narrow escape OF
somebody from loss OF lIfe or limb.
Some time ago, the state railroad commits
sioners were asked 70 investigate and take
action regarding these crossings, but the
determination OF the railway company to
install these bells made IL unnecessary for
them to take the matter into consdera-
tiOn.

The yellow fever situation in New Or

ing SIG cases and 112 deaths in all. COM
plying with requests from the state au-
thorities of Louisiana, who realized their
shortcomings in dealing with the epi-
demic, the federal hospital department
has taken charge, aud Will use all its facil-
tiles. New Orleans is being thoroughly
cleaned. The residents are fully awake 10
their responsibility. Outside the city
something like panic prevails, lest the
fever spread, but II has been mostly con-
fined so far. Two or three boats OF the
Mississippi patrol were captured by the
Louisiana mosquito feet while cruising

Jokes of the situation is that Havana,
