Such girls are exceptional Even of
those who begin the study of profess

ers in grand or light opera, distin-
guished vocalists or pianists, or re-

those who are ever heard from is nee

say that peculiar qualities of temper

the serious profession of furnishing
musical amusement to the nations;
comparatively few places are open and

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
~ ST.. PETERSBURG, Aug. IA long cipher
despatch from the Car was sent to Mr.
Witte yesterday. 1t is declared in court
circles TO place on record finally the fact
that Gen. Linievitch has succeeded In per-
suading the Car to rely absolutely upon
him.
In military circles it is believed that the
present peace negotiations are destined
to. be fruitless. in view of the ascendancy
that Linievitch has acquired. Even the
bureaucracy, which has hoped for peace,
is now essimistic. Its organ, the N, roe
Premya, says that President Roosevelt's
correct and reserved greeting, so framed
that it cannot often either side, still gives
lifeess impression. One does not feel
in it a belief of success in the task before
the delegates.
Gen. Linievitch reports three skirmishes
in the Hailungcheng district, at the begin
ming of August. He says the japanese were
repulsed in each instance.

from yellow fever occurred to-day. Seven
| OF the victims were Italians. Thirty-two
new cases were discovered. q"
The United States Marine Hospital Ser
vice is now In charge of the fever situation
with Dr. j. H. White in command. Dr.
White, this morning received telegram
from Surgeon General Wymdan. informing
him that the guarantee Of Mayor Behrman
and the citizens committee to pay alex
penses Of the work Of crushing out the fever
was satisfactory and ordering him to take
charge Of the situation at once.
DR.. White held several conferences with
the State and city health authorities 30 as
to prevent any interruption in he work
of sanitation and mosquito killing now going
on.
great deal of work has already been
done by the city and the citizens COM
mittee and the fever reports for the last
few days indicate that the epidemic has
finally been checked. The work Of CRUSH
ing It, however s far more difficult matter
than merely checking it, and will take some
time.
There are number OF infected mosquitoes
at large and difficult to get rid Of, and until
they are exterminated there will remain
danger Of new infection
The plan Of program Of the United States
Marine Hospital Service has already been
outlined by DR.. White to Surgeon-General
Wyman. 1t will be simply an enlargement
of the present methods Instead of having
only one organization, the city will be di-
vided into fifteen or twenty districts, in
each of which marine hospital will be
placed in charge.
Under him will be a force OF workers for
fumigation. mosquito destruction and gen.
eral sanitation work. All these men will be
commissioned by Mayor Behrman as police
officers, with full power to enforce the sani-
tary ordinances. which DR.. White thinks fully
cover all that has to &c done They will re-
port to him at a central Office.
Forty officers of the United States Marine
Hospital Service will be required for the
supervision. inspection and field work.
Eight have already arrived in addition to
the six on hand, and Of these additional
eight half have had experience in this
very work of fighting yellow fever. The
Marine Hospital Service will use the men
much as possible.
All its surgeons will probably wear their
uniforms, as il Is found that men in uni
forms have much better influence on the
lower classes. especially on the Italians,
who are disposed to resent the order or in
spaction Of a physician in civil costume,
but yield readily to men In uniform.

DEFENDS GOV. BLANCHARD.
Gen. Perilliat Explains Why tho Mississippi
Quarantine Was Opposed.

Gen. Arsene Perilliat Of New Orleans,
military chief of staff for Gov. Blanchard
OF Louisiana and member Of the State
Board of Engineers, is in the city, after
having concluded an investigation into
the conflicts between the quarantine pa
trolls of Louisiana and Mississippi He said
last night that he wa nted the disagreement
between Gov. Blanchard and Gov. Varda-
man clearly understood in the North.
Il found" said Gen. Perilliat, that In
the first moments of panic armed guards
and militamen from Mississippi had in
vaded our State to inspect trains and pre-
vent any one from entering Mississippi.
This, however, was done without the order
OF Gov. Vardaman, and was stopped when
his attention was called to it.
More serious than this was the station
ing of patrol boats from Mississippi in
streams which flow entirely within the
OF all vessels, which were towed out OF
Louisiana waters to quarantine stations in
Mississippi Gov. Blanchard resented this
invasion Of Louisiana waters, and after
a. fruitless remonstrance, he sent out his
naval militia to clear the State waters
OF these patrol boats and allow Louisiana
commerce free egress andingress to those
streams situated within Louisiana terri
tory"
Gen. Perilliat said, that while the Federal
authorities will be supplied with unlimited
means by the citizens Of Louisiana for the
purpose OF stamping out the yellow fever.
he does not feel that it will be wiped out
before next November, when cold weather
will kill the germ carrying mosquitoes.
The people of New Orleans are not
alarmed over the plague except for the
complete stagnation II brings to business
he said. -The intelligent citizens accent
the theory Of the United States Marine
Hospital Service that yellow fever can only
be spread by mosquitoes Of the steoomLfa
fasciatd variety and are proceeding an
thi, theory Ia battling with the plaoue
Cen. PerilIiat said that a great mistake
was made by the physicians who failed to
announce the prevalence Of yellow fever
in the city for a week after 1t was disooyered.
"A member of the State board Of health
told me Of It week ago last Friday while
was on my. way to Join Gov. Blanchard

THE Governor was exceedingly displcased
when T told him that the board OF healtS

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y. Aug. Mayor
Brush Of Mount Vernon kept the telegraph

to locate Corporation Counsel Roger M. Sher-
man. who ia cruising on his yacht, to bring
him back to get out an injunction against
the Interurban Water Company, which is
cutting on 100 water consumers because
they have not paid their bills. All efforts
Of the Mayor to communicate with his legal
adviser were without avail and the company,
taking advantage Of his dilemma, sent out
men to turn of the water. Many people
rather THAI face water famine paid their
bills under protest.
Mayor Brush Is indignant at the action of
the water company because he says that it
has no right to cut OF the water until he
gets q final decision on his action to set
aside its franchise, which he claims Is illegal
The Mayor to-day ordered Commissioner
OF Public Works Miles not to allow the en-
ployees OF the company to open any streets

pany attempts to tear open the streets he
will call out the police and arrest the work
men. Mayor Brush said tonight that he
could not do anything more until he could
find Corporation Counsel Sherman. When
he succeeds In doing 40 he will have
him swear out warrants for the arrest
Of the officers Of the water corporation,

sailed from here shortly before 8 O'Clock
this morning for Portsmouth, N. Fl. They
expect to reach thore early tomorrow

conference may not be delayed more than
one day.
Early this morning orders were sent from
the Mayfower to the two other vessels

the only one to step on Newport soil being
Mr.. Witte. who left for Boston last evening.
At 73O o'clock the signal was given to
get under way and at 1855 clock the three
vessels stood out Of the harbor. The
Mayfiower, flying the Russian ensign at
the fore, led the fleet, followed by the
Dolphin with the Japanese flag, while the
little cruiser Galveston, with Assistant
Secretary of State Perce and party on
board. brought up the rear. As the ships
left the harbor before 8 O'Clock there was
no saluting, and they soon disappeared
around the point.
From the shore it was hazy in the offing.
but later In the morning word was received
from the ships by wireless that it was clear
weather out at sea and that the peace
plenipotentiaries and their suites were
thoroughly enjoying themselves. All the
morning the wireless was busy receiving
messages from the vessels to be transmitted

A HORSE PURPOSELY LAMED.
Some One Burned Animal With Acid-Owner
Went When II Was Shot.

Louis Solomon, an expressman. OF 200
Eroone street, noticed about week ago
that his horse, big bay, which he valued at
S75, had unaccountably gene lame, and an
examination sho wed that the no rse's pastern
joints we're swollen. Solomon applied lini-
ment and went tn work as usual, but that
evening the horse was 80 lame 1t could
scarcely move Still thinking 1t was moth
ing serious Solomon continued doctoring
the horse himself. But the trouble grew
worse, and yesterday Solomon led the horse
to veterinary hospital in Tenth street.
There the surgeon told Solomon that some
kind of acid had been applied to the horses
legs, which were in such condition that
the animal would have to be shot.
Solomon led his horse back to Hoenig's
livery stable, at 81 Attorney street. and
asked the police to notify the s. p. c. A.
Pending the arrival OF one Of Mr.. Haines's
agents, Solomon berated Hoenie. say
ing that the horse was injured while In
his care. The only thing that prevented
scrap was the timely arrival Of the animal
cop, who put the poor beast out of his misery
by sending bullet into its head.
Solomon didn't witness the execution,
but he heard the fatal shot. Bewailing
his hard luck in losing his horse and de-
nouncing his enemies, among them Hoenig,
he finally gave way to a fit Of violent weep
ing, which soon developed into Mysteries.
The police were called in again. and they
summoned an ambulance from Gouverneur
Hospital. Dr. Hamil gave .. Solomon a
sedauve, and when he had become some
what composed took him home.
The police and the animal society are
both investigating the case. Solomon said
last night that he believed business rivals
had dosed the horse in the hope Of securing
some of his customers.
