Ambassador Meyers Audi
ence With Minister Lamsdorf
ON PEACE PROPOSALS
REPORTED NO DEVELOPMENTS
AFFECTING THE SITUATION.
Both Governments Apparently Insist
ing Upon the Justice of Their
Claims-Newspaper Comment.

ST. PETERSBURG. August 26.-Mr
Meyer the American ambassador. today
received a number of cablegrams from
Washington as the result of which he call
ed on Foreign Minister Lamsdorff this aft
ernoon.
The foreign Office announced at PM
that the situation was still unchanged and
that there had been no developments over
night affecting Russas position.
The Russ says: 1T Is self-evident that
Japan is greatly in need of money and that
she will not be able to continue the war
without 1t, but Russia has no reason to
pay an indemnity directly or indirectly and
will not do So 1t may be that President
Roosevelt will be able to find an outlet
from the impasse. Americans can work
miracles In matters of finance"
The Novoe Vremya says: Cannot the for-
tunes of war come our way? We have
learned something in the last eighteen
months and have strengthened our army
and improved its equipment. If we pay an
indemnity Japan will use our money In pre-
pairing to deliver a new blow. If the war Is
burden to Japan, let her stop IT. II
would pay her to do so and would insure
long peace for Japan and all her benevo-
lent creditors"

COMMENT AT PARIS.
Financial Status Of Russia and Peace
Conclusions.


PARIS, August 2e-Premier Rouvier had
a long talk at the foreign office today with
NJ. Jusserand. ambassador to the United
States. Its nature has not been disclosed.
but 1t is presumed that it related to Ameri-
can affairs and to the general status Of
the negotiations at Portsmouth. However,
the government Is not giving any outward
signs Of activity in connection with the
peace conference, owing to the sensitveness
of French relations with Russia.
Information from officials at st. Peters
burg shows that Ambassador Meyers meet
ing with the emperor lasted only ten min
utes and was not productive Of notable re-
suits. The brevlty Of the meeting Is looked
upon as an unfavorable sign.
Nevertheless government circles believe
that Russia's inability to raise more money
for war purposes will prove a decisive fac
tor In compelling the conclusion of peace.
Since the French bankers recently refused
a new loan on account of the uncertainties
of the war their attitude has become more
uncompromising against prolongation of
the struggle.
This is due to the dangers OF depression
in the enormous French holdings of Rus
sian securities should the war go on indefi-
market is practically cut off for more war
funds. 1t is the view in the highest quar-
ters that peace has strong chances of real
ization through the financial inability of
Russia to continue the war.

ANARCHISTS ARE ACTIVE.
Reports of Disturbances In the Baltic
Provinces, Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 26.-The po-
lice department has drawn up report of
the disturbances among the Let's in the
Baltic provinces. which Of late. according
to the report, have assumed an anarchical
character.
Within four months in towns and prov
inces Of Coqrland and Livonia there have
been four attempts on the lives of officials.
four attacks on private persons, six at
temps against the lives Of police officers,
three attacks on Cossack patrols and two
cases in which bombs were thrown. At
Riga an attempt was made to set fire to
the powder stores in a cartridge factory
The report says that 'in the Lutheran
churches demonstrations were begun and
repeated every Sunday in May and June"
and that the agita tors supplied the peasants
with arms. of which they obviously pos
sessed an extensive supply.
In Mitau the rioters in one day destroyed
the archives in nine districts, throwing the
documents. the seals and portraits of the
emperor into the streets. Attempts to dam
age the railroad lines, the report says.
have been numerous of late.

ONE BURNED TO DEATH
DARING RESCUE OF 10 PERSONS
FROM FIRE AT ERIE, PA.

ERIE, Pa. August 26.-Capt. Patrick Mac
Mahon Of the yacht Mystic was burned to
death and eighteen persons were almost
suffocated in a fire which started on the
third floor of the Charles Beck block early
today. The flames were seen bursting from
the front windows, and when the firemen
arrived they found the eighteen occupants
Of the building asleep and almost dead from
suffocation.
1t was with much difficulty that they were
finally gotten out Of danger. When the
room Of Capt. MacMahon was entered he
was found on the floor dead and his body
partially burned. The fire started in Mac
Mahon's room, and was probably caused by
him leaving a lighted cigar stub on the
floor when he retired.
Capt MacMahon was prominent in the
marine interests and was recently distin-
guished by receiving a medal from Con-
gress for rescuing man who was drown
ing in the harbor.
The monetary loss by the fire was not
heavy.

OPPOSE CONCESSIONS.
Tokyo Newspapers Urge Government
to Continue the War.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
TOKYO, August 28.-The Tokyo news
papers in general strongly insist that In
view of its tremendous sacrifices In blood
and treasure the nation would not ac-
quiesce in concessions at the expense OF
territorial demands. They urge the gov
ernment rather to break off the peace ne
gotiations and continue the war to the Bit
ter end.
The Nichi Nichi alone suggests the dis
mantling of Vladivostok and the granting
of free navigation and commerce on the
Amur by Russia to Japan as alternatives
for the concession of the Island OF Sakhalin.
Hitherto the high sentimentality which
powerfully influences Japanese decisions
seemed to render second abandonment Of
Japans primitive rights In Sakhalin i'm
possible.

OREGON LAND FRAUDS.
Federal Grand Jury Returned True
Bills Against Thayer.

PORTLAND, Ore. August 23.-The fed
eral grand jury investigating the Oregon
land frauds has returned true bills against
Claude F. Thayer. the Tillamook capitalist.
son Of former Governor Thayer of this
state, and several other operators indicted
with him. The significance of this action
is emphasized by the fact that when the in
diotment was returned there remained but
six hours until the law would have become
powerless to reach the crime.
In September. 1899, approximately one
hur dred persons made filings at the Oregon
City land office to enter timber lands in
Tillamook county, the lands Being situated
ia the famous Nehalem valley. 1t Is alleged
that Claude Thayer and his associates had
secured a purchaser and the net profits were
to be divided. The allegations of fraud in
tho affidivitts of contest which were subse-
qIently filed, led to the order for an investi-
cation.
These cases involve more money value in
timber lands than all the cases which haye
been tried SO far.

YELLOW FEVER PROSPECTS.
Likely to Worry Americans When
- Canal Is Completed.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 26.-Sir Patrick
Manson. medical adviser to the British colo
niais and recognized authority on tropical
diseases. in a speech before the board of
directors of the Merchants Association of
this city. outlined his theory that yellow
fever may yet become a source Of worri-
ment mere in the changed trade conditions
which will follow the completion Of the
Panama canal. urging the futility of what
now passes as quarantine. either in yellow
fever or the bubonic plague.
Owing to the advantages that San Fran
cisco possesses over London for the study
Of tropical diseases, an advantage due to
the fact that 1t has a colony Of 10000 Chi
nese, as well as many Japanese Filipinos
and Hawaiians; he suggested that a school
should be established here for the study Of
tropical medicine.

The company's agent writes that the
breadmakers in the bake shops of Canton
and Hongkong refuse to handle American
flour, and the small dealers dare not pur-
chase 1t for this reason. The trade with
the Straits Settlements and Indo-C China is
also theatened by reason of the fact thai
