Witte Outlines Views.

London.-The Daily Telegraph cor
respondent on board Of the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, on which M.
Witte, the Russian peace plenipoten-
tiary, is passenger, sends an inter
view which he has had with M. Witte,
in which the latter said that if Rus
STA and Japan had agreed upon a
common basis before appointing peace
plenipotentiaries it would have been
much better. AS it was, M. Witte
said he regarded himself rather as an
imperial courier sent to ascertain the
terms of Japan. He was prepared to
make peace, nevertheless, he added,
as his powers were very complete and
he would discuss the demands based
on Japan's actual military and naval
successes in a business like spirit.
But [ cannot and will not" con-
tinued M. Witte, "entertain demands
upon expected military success in the
future. | am conversant with the
humane intentions Of my imperial
master and | will do anything COM
patible with Russia's honor and dig
nifty to establish peace Of which I have
been an answering advocate. My
first work, however, in the New World
will be to search for a basis for
fruitful discussion.''

1t is generally agreed among scien-

among the Italians.

Rules for Prevention Of Fever.

New Orleans, La, July 80, 1905
DR.. Quitman Kohnke, the city health
officer to day gave out some hygiene
rules for the prevention Of yellow fe-
yer which if observed will obviate the
spread Of the disease.
Sanitary Treatment Of the Sick Room.
/. Place patient under mosquito
bars and keep him SO protected from
mosquitoes during the day and night
for three full days, so as to prevent
infection Of mosquitoes.
2. Screen openings Of the room,
doors, windows, transoms, etc.
3. Fumigate room with sulphur to
destroy possibly infected mosquitoes
as early as possible after fourth day
Of fever.
Sanitary Treatment Of Neighborhoods.
Destroy the only vehicles Of in
lection the stegomyia mosquito.
Pour into each cistern cupful of
Kerosene or insurance oil, and if the
clstern be not screened repeat this ev-
cry week.
Pour oil to cover surface of every
collection of water not stocked with
tish or removable by drainage.
After thus cutting off the source Of
supply, fumigate all rooms to kill
adult mosquitoes.
Sulphur burned in an iron pot is the
surest way, and if used in proper
quantity will not injure fabrics or
eolors. One pound to an average room
is sufficient if room be closed, and one
hour IS long enough in ordinary cases.
The fumes of sulphur will not remain
long, and household amonia sprin-
killed. about the room will hasten their
departure.
The fumigation should be done in
the morning so that the room will be
free OF odor by night, and it should
be done preferably in dry weather.
DO not neglect the downstairs rooms
IN two-story houses.
Other methods Of fumigation may
be adopted, such as burning of pyre-
thrum or insect powder, which is not
unpleasant, or the volatilizing Of
liquid chemical preparations, or the
spraying of liquids prepared for the
purpose, but sulphur is the most GER
tain In results.
Yellow fever is not filth disease
and ordinary sanitary cleanliness is
not effective against it. The removal
OF filth for the prevention Of yellow
fever is energy mis-directed. The re-
moval OF mosquitoes for this purpose
is energy scientifically applied.

Health Officer.
