Chicago Gardener Growing Red, White and Blue chrysanthemuns.

aUu bIue SnFySauthe1HuIls.
 Chicago, Sept. 1.--Joseph Frey. head gardener at Lincoln park, is seeking to give the country a national flower in the form of a chrysanthemum plant which will grow red, white and blue blossoms. The experiment of hybrid izing chrysanthernuns and asters, which are closely related to the Japan csc flower, has been going on in the conservatory at Lincoln park. Frey has created many wonderful combinations in fiowerdonn, The success or failure of the plan will be revealed by the last of October when the chrysanthemums, and Siberian asters begin to head and bloom. At the last annual chrysanthe- mum show in Lincoln park, Frey dis played hybridized chrysanthemums which presented the colonial colors- yellow and white blossims growing on one stalk. This eoused him to under take the more difficult problem of grow ing red, white and blue blossoms on one Stalk, ',

TALK OF HITCH OVER ISLAND OF SAKHALIN
AN EVIDENT MISUNDERSTAND. ING OYER QUESTION OF
 NATURALIZATION

St. Petersburg Seems to Have Taken 1t
 for Granted That She Was free to
 FOrttfy Her Half While Japan Had
 Obligated Herself Not to Put Up De-
 fensive works-NIatter NIII Not En-
 danger Treaty-Armistice Signed but
 VIII Not Go Into Effect Until Treaty
 is Also Signed.
 Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 1.-The only possible hitch on the horizon of the current here. which, however, are not officially confirmable. arises out of an evident misunderstanding over the question of the naturalization of the is- land Of Sakhalin. According to the Japanese the understanding reached on Tuesday contemplated a mutual obli- gation on the part of the two countries not to fortify their respective posses sions on the island. At St. Petersburg, however, there seems to have been an assumption that the agreement involY-. ed freedom of action upon the part of Russia in this respect in the north of Sakhalin, with an obligation on the part of Japan not to fortify or use fir strategic purposes the portion owned by her before 1876, which is to be retro ceded in the present treaty. it is ex- pected on both sides, however, that the hitch, if it really exists as reported, will shortly be strengthened out, and it is believed that one of the subjects of to-night's conference related to this point. a..
 The effect of the armistice which was concluded to-day Is that it becomes operative only upon the signature of the treaty by the plenipotentiaries and continues until the final exchange of ratification of the emperors of the two countries. It is for this reason that the plenipotentiaries who will themselves convey to their respective capitals the momentous document, which to become binding must receive the signatures of their respective emperors, are anxious to leave at the earliest possible date, foregoing the innumerable invitations which have been showered upon them. Cable communication between Baron Komura and his government has been interrupted for the greater part of the day, but a message is said to have been received late tonight, Baron Komura and Mir. Takahira were in conferences for long time tonight. It is under stood to be the present intention of the Tokio government not to make pub lie the conditions of peace until the rat iffcation of the treaty has been ex- changed. The official explanation is that this is the regular diplomatic method of procedure but among the Japanese correspondents considerable suspicion has been aroused by the fact that until now their cablegrams giving the terms of peace have not passed the censor. They do not hesitate to say the government is anxious about the effect on public opinion when it be- comes known that Japan waived her demand for indemnity to obtain peace

FORTY THREE CASES OF
 CHOLERA IN PRUSSIA
NINE DEATHS AND HANT SUs- PT0IOUS CASES UNDER oB-
 STARVATION.

Nearly 1000 Persons Detained by the
 state-Assurance That m Epldemlf
 Like That of 1s92-s Need Not Be
 Feared-Health Authorities Have
 Since That Time Built Up an organl-
 xation Quite Adequate to Cope wita
 the Disease-PeopIe Co-operatiag
 with Authorities.
 Berlin, Sept. 1-Forty three cases of cholera in all have been reported Nina persons have died from the disease and many suspicious cases are under ob- servation. The legal and medical ma ehinery for dealing with this invasion of the Asiatic bacillus is now working at full pressure.
 Professor Edward Sonnenburg said to the Associated Press tonight that no one need fear an epidemic such as that of l892-S, because the health authorities since that time had built up an organ ization quite adequate to grasp the be- ginnings of cholera and to put down the disease with precision and firmness.
 The health machinery to which Pro- lessor sonnenburg alluded is working in cooperation with the police and other public services With the excep- tion of one death at Hamburg, the cholera is confined to the West Prus- sian districts, and every case of illness in these districts must be immediatelv reported to the authorities. An expert enced physician and bacteriologist at once takes the case under observation, and if the symptoms are suspicious the person is promptly isolated.
 The state has now detained under medical observation nearly one thou sand persons, including the emigrants at Brnnshaven. Cautions and Warn- ings have been distributed, and these have led to spontaneous and intelligent cooperation with the sanitary officers. If the same agencies and the same spirit were at work beyond the Russian frontier the Prussian health adrninis- tration would feel satisfied with what is being done, .A doubt almost amount l ing to conviction exists that the Rus sian administration has not yet been aroused to the danger, and that its task of dealing with the problem ss IleE more difficult than that which conz fronts the authorities here. One paper cites the recent declaration of the RlIs sian plague commission that since April 21 no case of chelora has occurred in the Russian empire, and that the sus- picious cases reported in Wilma, Lodz. Radon, Tula, Rjasen and other places were, as meteorological investigations showed, not Asiatic cholera,
 Where, then says the paper, did l the Asiatie cholera now in West Prus- sia come frorn?. As a matter of fact it goes on to say, the Prussian health officials were apprehenslve or the exist ence of cholera since the beginning of the year, and their reports showed that the pestilence had left Arabia and was marching over Syria Mesopotamia and Persia. then across the Caspian Sea l into European Russia ana onwards up the volga.
 The bourse to-day felt the effect Of the prevalence of cholera, especially shipping companies, the shares of which fell from 3 to 4 per cent
