PEACE UNION SPEAKS OUT
Urges That Prolonged War Means
Only Prolonged Loss

MYSTIC, Conn.,, Aug. 24.--The text
Of the document sent yesterday by the
Universal Peace union, in session here,
to the Russian and Japanese plenipo-
tentiaries was made public today. 1t
follows:
I'VE are convinced, as regards Rus
sia and Japan, that the sending of
eminent and conscientious envoys
thousands of miles from monarchical
surroundings to our republic at great
expense to formulate some plan 10
close the appalling war in the far east
must not fail, inasmuch as. nothing is
to be gained by a continuance of the
war, and as both belligerents desire
peace.
IF indemnity be in the way, call 1t
recompense for caring for 100000
prisoners and adjust the amount
Peace will soon reimburse; war never
will.
IF Sakhalin be in the way give 1t as
a peace offering to the inhabitants
thereof and ask representation therein,
and the trade there will be worth more
than any conflict.
IF limitation of naval power be in
the way, refer to the czar's rescript
and his recommendations, and then
mutually agree upon limitations.
IF interned vessels be in the way,

chantmen and so paroled that they will
never again be used for war purposes
IF this will not accomplish the de-
sired result, submit the points at vari-
ance to The Hague tribunal, the crea-
ton itself of Russia, and the result will
be her victory of peace with honor and
dignity"

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Aug. 24.-As a result Of a
special meeting of the council Of minis
ters today It was announced that a
military demonstration will be made
against Morocco unless the sultan
promptly yields to the French demands
for the release of the French Algerian
citizen, a merchant named Bouzian.
who was unjustihably arrested at
Gharb Moroccan town on the AL
gerian frontier.
instructions were sent to the French
minister at Fee, Strene Tallandier, to
make a final and imperative demand on
the sultan. The minister was informed
that If this demand should be refused
the entire personnel of the legation was
to depart from Morocco and a military
movement would simultaneously begin
along the Algerian frontier.
1t is the intention of the military
authorities to occupy a Moroccan bor-
der town, probably Oudjda, owing to
its strategic command of the route to
the Moroccan capital. However, the Of
ficials are confident that the sultan will
yield before the threat of using military
force.
The demonstration as planned is
somewhat similar to that which an
American squadron made at Tangier
to compel the release of Ion Perdicaris,
who was captured by the bandit Raj
suli. The French authorities, however,
deem a naval demonstration inexpe-
dient owing to possible International
complications resulting from other ma
tions sending warships to observe the
demonstration, while military move
ment against Morocco would be largely
a police measure, not involving the
general political question of French
authority in Morocco.
The persistent refusal Of the sultan
to yield, however. might compel France
to advance further than border town.
Germany has thus far approved the
French demands for redress, but fears
are expressed in some quarters that the
sultan will refuse to yield in the hope
of securing the aid of Germany Prac-
tically all the leading powers have ap-
proved the determination Of the French
government to take a firm course. The
proposed course cannot be put into
execution before another week owing
to the time necessary to communicate
the final demands to the sultan.

NEW ORLEANS HOPEFUL
Yesterdays Figures Show That GEN.
eraI Improvement Continues

BY Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 24.-Follow-
ing is the official report up to p. M:
New cases, A; total to date, 1900.
Deaths, 7; total. 226. New foci, 10;
total, 800. Remaining under treat
ment, 2S7.
The rather mild expression Of hope
fulness which DR.. White made a few
days ago is made more emphatic by the
steady improvement in the figures from
day to day and predictions are now
freely being made that victory will be
accomplished before frost appears.
Surgeon White, with the assistance of
Mayor Behrman, has arranged for the
establishment of a new emergency hos
pital and detention camp, which will be
opened tomorrow.
Macdonough public school on North
Rampant street has been impressed and
will be ready for occupancy tomorrow.
Another part Of the plan to be put
into effect is a form of quarantine OF
infected places against other infected
places.
Heretofore there had been on inter-
ruption OF traffic between places that
are infected and as result many OF
the -stricken Italians have re-
turned to New Orleans and brought
new infection with them. This will be
prevented in the future. The state
board of health will meet tomorrow
and formulate a plan.
Another nest Of infection was found
today at a point not far from Patter-
son, in Assumption parish. Ten cases
were seen at Amelia and Dr. Chas-
saignac, who made the inspection for
the state board. says he learns there
were fifty cases there in the past two
weeks.
Patterson reports ten cases
Hanson City reports two new cases.
Ten cases are reported from Lake
Providence, In East Carroll parish. and
the state board is sending three nurses
there
Three new cases developed on Eliza
beth plantation In Iberville.

WORK ON THE STREETS MUST BE REDUCED
Care VIII Be Taken Maintain Fire Protection and 100
Miles of Water Mains Will Be Laid, but General
improvements Will Suffer

1--WE shall do the very best we can
to give the city good Streets" de-
clared Street Superintendent Hanley
yesterday afternoon while discussing
his policy for the coming year under
the comparatively small allowance
given him by the council
"The city is short OF cash and the
council had to cut down the budgets,
for work cannot be done unless 1t is
paid for. Our allowance was cut to n
figure considerably under what 1t was
necessary to spend last year, but just
the same we intend to have good
streets If it is possible.
IT have not as yet had the time to
get everything figured out. 1t is plain,
however, that our monthly allowance
will be smaller than the amount we
are now spending and that 1t will be
necessary to reduce the force, instead
of increasing il, as we had hoped to do.
Less Work on Streets
Cutting down the present force is
IL SerlOuS pIOpoSltiOH dS IL 10 OH ShSiJ
too small, but the cut must be made.
1 want to keep as many teams as pos
sible, but with an allowance of $2S,OO0
a month cannot keep all that are
now working, so the force will be re-
duced both in men and teams.
1.-THE reduction also makes 1t impos-
sible to raise the pay Of the men on
the streets, for we cannot get along at
the present rate. Keeping everybody
on the jump hope to be able to keep
up the city's streets, but 1t is obvious
that the work cannot be done as it
should be done. Instead Of making
over wornout thoroughfares, we shall
have to content ourselves with patch
ing them for year"
1--WE shall put in more Improvements
in the internal water system the COM
ing year than we have done in the past
three years." declared superintendent
Mulholland yAterday.
For the last few years we have
been hard at work on the water supply
end of the system, building conduits,
reservoirs, etc. This took lot of
money, but it had to be done, and in
order to do it we had to piece out the
old interior system and lay miles of
small temporary pipes.
Now that the supply end of the sys-
tenn has been completed, so far as the
present source is concerned, we can
turn our entire attention to the inter-
ior system and by the end of the year
1 think everybody in town will be
satisfied
Last year the principal internal
work we did was to complete the laying
of the large mains down town. In the
heart of the city on all north and south
streets the mains are all the twelve
inch size or larger.

possible to build new houses but we
cannot paint the old ones, and some of
them have not had a coat of paint since
they were put up.
plan of charging the downtown
houses. The force will also have to be
kept as small as possible When the
engines and other apparatus now
ordered arrive several new crews must
be added to the present force, but that
will be the limit for the year.
1--WE had hoped to sell the present
Seventh street house and build new
one in better location. This house
is in bad shape, so bad in fact that the
apparatus may fall through the floor,
but 1t must be made to last another
year. Yet, it will be close sailing, but
we shall have to do it."
Librarian Charles f. Lummis in dis
cussing the situation, as far as the Ii
brary goes, said:
1--WE are allowed the minimum as
prescribed by the charter, but could
expect nothing else, 1 suppose Our
space is all taken at present so we of
necessity must stop buying books to a
great extent. Still the library will not
suffer much from this as much that is
written is not worth the shelf room
and we can make room for those books
that do deserve it.
Enough Money for Histories
"I think the Los Angeles library
should specialize on works pertaining
to California and the southwest, and
we can do this under existing condi-
tions."
When asked if the police department
could get along on $25O,OOO, Commits
sioner Mason said yesterday:
That's enough. All we want is a
chance. With a fair chance the police
department will get along well and
prosper. l deem this allowance suffi-
cient for all legitimate needs If the
81, 90O 900 income of the city is properly
expended and none OF it wasted or
stolen think it sufficient for the needs
of the city.
"Of course every department must
practice economy, just such economy
as is practiced in private corporations.
and this should be done anyway. The
funds in hand are ample according to
my opinion. 1t is a fact that some of
the expense accounts included in the
estimates were not genuine and did not
deserve consideration. 1t is natural
that each department should want all
tionments have been made all should
be satisfied and get to work for the
betterment of the city"

LlnevItch Most Optimistic

The emperor's iniexible determina-
ton to continue the war rather than
yield to a demand which is regarded as
warrantable only in the case of a van
quished nation, is strengthened by the
latest dispatches received from General
Linevitch, in which he reports the
strength of the Russian position, and
speaks favorably of the spirit and con-
dition of his latest reinforcements and
the morale of the entire army.
Reinforcements for the front are re-
ported as steadily arriving. The Thir-
teenth corps is now en- route and the
war ministry is preparing to dispatch
a composite corps in case negotiations
for peace fail. Only regular troops and
not reservlsts are now being forwarded,
and 1t is reported that the city of Mos
COW grenadiers have received marching
orders
A competent military attache of a
European power, who is acquainted
thoroughly with the defensive facilities
Of Vladivostok, has informed the Asso-
clated Press that the Japanese will find
that fortress a harder nut TO crack
than Port Arthur If they decide to
break off negotiations. This authority
declares that the Japanese fleet will not
be able to cooperate with the attack
ing army except in the way of an in
effective bombardment OF the sea front,
as the mine fields and heavy artillery
make It out of the question for big
ships to run by the fortress ana get in
touch with the besiegers on the main
land.

through Russia from which he has
Just returned, that the southern fort
resses were practically denuded OF

II expect to lay probably 100 miles
of mains in various sections of the city
in replacing the temporary pipes and
small mains which are now overtaxed.
There is but little Of the city that is not
piped now, but a portion of 1t is not
properly piped and it is this portion
that we intend to bring up to standard.
"Great improvements will also be
made in the fire service. In fact the
service will be made about twice as
large as it is at present. There are in
the city now about 900 fire plugs. In
all probability we shall put In as many
more this year.
"Our revenue has almost reached the
100000 mark, and out of this we make
all payments on the bonds and also pay
for the extensions and improvements in
the department."
The park commissioners do not take
so bright a view of the case as the men
in some of the other departments. One
of them said at yesterday mornings
meeting:
1--WE have FIVE new parks to care for
with an allowance of little more than
what was given us last year, so that 1t
is manifestly impossible to make any
extensive improvements. only absolute
necessities will go now.
'The proposed conservatory In East
lake park was badly needed by the de-
partment. The roads we wanted to
build in Griffith park were also almost
necessity. The proposed aviary in
Westlake park would have been a great
improvement, but they are all out of
the question now. We shall have to
get along on our allowance somehow,
however"

While he excused himself from a general

held next Wednesday, but there is no
assurance that the matter will be definitely

the members Of the Society Of American
Women in London = project for supnIe-
menting the work OF the late Cecil Rhodes
by founding scholarships for American
women at English universities was dis
cussed. Mrs. Webster Glynes, who pre-
sided, remarked that matrtmony had been
the favorite method OF healing family
feuds since the time OF the MontaRua ana
Capulets. The matrimonial alliance between
Great Britain and the United States was
often spoken OF vulgarly as a union Of
titles and dollars. In the large majority OF
cases. however. there were no titles and
not enough dollars 10 worry about. There
