M1KADo ORDERS CONCESSIONS.
koTnura and Takahira, Downcast, Sub
NIT to Instructions.

The result was not brought about by
the initiative of Baron Komura, the
chief japanese envoy, and his aid, Min
lister Takahira. II was ordered by the
japanese emperor himself
Komura and Takahira wanted an in
demnity. They claimed and claim now
tbs by this action Japan has lost the
legitimate fruits of her victories
Although President Roosevelt had
much to do with bringing about these
overwhelming concessions by the Japan
csc, it is known that Baron KanekO, the
japanese financial agent, who is in this
country and who has been so persistent
a visitor of the President, went over the
head of Baron Komura and reached the
ear of the emperor through Marquis Ito,
one of the elder statesmen.
The japanese officially explain their
remarkable concessions on the ground of
humanity. This is as good an official
explanation as any other. The fact is
that the present ENJOYS, Komura and
Takahira, were beaten at home by the
representatives of Kaneko and the infu-
ence of Marquis Ito.
The Russians are jubilant. They came
to Portsmouth with nothing to lose and
everything to gain, and they practically
dictated their own terms.
The hard-headed business man, NJ.
White, whom the Gar so wisely picked
out for his envoy, although besought by
people in his own country, in England,
France and America, and although per-
sonally begged by President Roosevelt,
to pay some sort of an indemnity, stub
bornly and persistently refused. He won.
1t must be said that he did not expect
to win, for he said that he was thunder
struck when Baron Komura waived the
indemnity. Although White is a peace
man, he would have allowed the war to
go on indefinitely before he would have
paid a cent of tribute.
He granted all the obvious demands
of Japan, granted everything Japan had
requested before the war. Then he made
the argument that Russia is not CON
quered nation, that this war is a colo
NAL war and that Russia can continue it
indefinitely.
White had no Baron Kaneko work
ing against him in this country. He
goes home with the glory of settling a
war that has crushed the Russian ar
mics, destroyed the Russian fleets, driv-
en- Russia out of territory she had grab
bed as If his country was the conquer
ing force instead of the conquered.

Japan Shows Greatness.

Japan has added to the exhibition Of
heroism of her soldiers in the field a
display of moral courage which
amounts to greatness. Magnanimity
has marked her course throughout the
peace proceedings, and to-day she
stands as an example to the world.
The Nikado sent word to his peace
commissioners that rather than have
the efforts which had been made to
end the war fail it was the judgment
of the government that concessions
might be made with honor. The con-
cessiOns were made, and out of Ports
mouth goes the proclamation of peace

PEST IN THE BAYOUS.
Thirty-five Cases of Yellow Fever Found
in Jefferson Parish.


Thirty-five cases of yellow fever were
discovered the other day in the settle
ments of fishermen on the baypus and
lakes in Jefferson parish, La, by DIR. C.
Milo Brady, who made a tour of inspec-
ton under directions from the STATE
board of health. Most of the cases are
along Bayou Barataria, twenty-five miles
from New Orleans, where a number of
deaths have occurred. The patients are
principally Portuguese and Spaniards.
and there is much suffering among them.
The State board will send a physician
and two nurses to the place Immediately,
and a supply of medicines and provisions
also will be forwarded.
The local situation continues to be of
the most hopeful character, and the con-
fdence of the federal authorities is grow
ing that the disease will have practically
disappeared before frost. The earliest
recorded frost in New Orleans occurred
in the second half of October, but the
average appearance is between the mid
die of November and December.

Much Property Wrecked In the Rhode
CANYON of Colorado.

Canyon of Colorado.
A cloudburst in the vicinity of Rhode
canyon, Colo, through which ordinarily
a small stream of water runs, converted
the canyon into a raging torrent, which
swept through the towns of Berwind and
Tobasco, wrecking everything in its
path and drowning at least nine per-
sons. The property loss is estimated at
hundreds of thousands of dollars, suf-
fered mostly by the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company and the Southern Railway
Company. The former company has
mines and coke ovens scattered all along
between the two mining towns of Ber-
wind and Tobasco, and although they
were situated mostly out of reach of the
Hood the tramways connecting the differ
ent properties of the company were prac-
tically ruined and the loss in this partic-
ular will be immense. The railroad com
pany had line running up the mountain
