News Surprises London.

London, August 3O.-The news of
che conclusion of peace at Portsmouth
yesterday reached London so late last
night that with the exception of Off

who were in the city at late hour,
the announcements in the morning pa.

Even many of the cabinet officers

Views of Russian Press.

st. Petersburg, August 30.-A great
diplomatic victory for M. Witte and a
victory for Japan, is the verdict OF
Prince OuktOmsky, in his editorial in
Viedomosti, today. He says
Notwithstanding the difficult cir,
cumstances under which the nego-
tiations commenced, Mr.. Witte carried
out his task with the greatest skill
and obtained from Japan the utmost
she was prepared to give. More than
we expect to receive, but though M
Witte wrested out of defeat the ad.

rests with Japan. She vii be recog.

while Russia's prestige has suffered a
correspondingly heavy blow. However,

New Orleans, August 30.-Bringing
10000 punches of bananas, the first
cargo of fruit entering here for sew
eral weeks, the steamer Esparita from
Port Llmon, landed today at Port
Chalmette and Immediately begun the
discharge of her cargo into screened
cars to be taken west by the Illinois
Central railroad. The laborers to
handle the fruit were carried to Chal-
mette in barges from New Orleans and
the work of unloading and shipment
was under the direct supervision of
the marine hospital service. 1t is
expected that New Orleans will be
able to at once relieve any fruit fam

no change in the fever situation to-
day, the morning starting with the
usual number of new cases and deaths.
New Orleans Gratified.
The details Of the peace settlement
at Portsmouth, with resulting graft
ication over the successful role played
by President Roosevelt temporarily
distracted attention from the local fe-
yer situation, which today is regarded
as manifesting signs of improvement
not dreamed of a month ago. AS a
menace to life the visitation is no long
er viewed with concern, though it is
probable probable that it Will last all
throughout the coming month, and the
only cause for worry is the knowledge
that while deaths continue to appear
lifting of quarantines is improbable.
September l is the date of the open
ing of the business season but the full
tide of it will not be attained until
the railroads are again enabled to put
on their complete service. NeYerthe.
less, the trade editions of tn evarious
newspapers which appear tomorrow and
Friday indicate that the passing year
has been one of the most prosperous
in the history of New Orleans, while
there is a general feeling that the
success of the fever fight means ex-
traordinary development of trade here
hereafter. The day dawned clear,
with some rise in the temperature,
though the weather forecast is still
for showers. Notwithstanding the
weather changes, however, the mortal
ity report continues to be one of the
most significant signs that the fever
has lost much of it's malignancy.
Some of the interesting statistics
are being prepared by the marine hos.
