Whites Double Duties.

st. Petersburg-It was explained to
the Associated Press recently that M.
Whites mission TO America, in ad-
ditlon to undertaking peace negotia-
tions, was for the purpose of correcting
certain mistaken Impressions in Amer
lea regarding the attitude of the Rus
sian government on the Jewish ques-
ton. He Is to explain, too, the gov
ernment's proposals for reforms, a
committee of ministers, after careful
consideration, having formulated
project for reform which 1t has been
decided to submit to the proposed ma
tional assembly for final action.
NJ Witte, as president Of the coun-
ell of ministers, is familiar with the
Russian governments intentions re-
garding the Jews and also has a close
personal knowledge Of the Jewish
question in all it's details.
Prominent Jews here, however, are
pessimistic regarding the outcome of
the promised reforms and have little
from the douma.
Reports received from portsmouth
that negotiations may be broken off
at the end of the week, and possibly
sooner, have found distinct echo in
high official quarters here, where pes
simism is distinctly noticeable.
The announcement that the emperor's
manifesto, summoning the douma will
be issued Saturday, has added to this
pessimism, because it had been de-
clared that it's date ofissuance would be
dependent either on the conclusion Of
peace or the breaking off of the nego-
tiations
Though the form and scope of the
proposed assembly are supposed to
have been definitely decided, it is said
that even at this late date influence is
being brought to bear to effect
change in the paragraphs, in the pro-
ject relating to elections, which are re-
garded by the friends of the present
order of things as going too far in the
direction of liberalism, but with only
the slightest hope of success.

1Iames Operator.

Cleveland.-Coroner Seiglestein of
this county has rendered verdict In
connection with the wrecking of the
10th century limited on the Lake Shore
railroad at Mentor, o., on the night of
June %, in which 19 lives were lost.
The coroner holds that Walter F.
Minor, the telegraph operator at Men
tor, opened the switch which caused
the accident.
The verdict IN part is as follows:
'In the 500 folios Of typewriter tes-
timony taken at my request there ap-
pears not one word tending to show
the presence of any one but Minor,
who was in charge Of the station that
night in the immediate vicinity preced-
ing the wreck or afterMard.
Hence, l can only come to the con-
clusion, which is reinforced by other
points of the evidence, that Walter F..
Minor opened the switch, but whether
he did so of his own volition or by
telegraphic orders of superior officer
am not prepared to say"

Many New Fever Cases.

New Orleans-The official report on
the yellow fever situation to 6 p. m.
Aug. 16 is as follows: New cases 66,
total to date 1146; deaths A. total to
date 176; new foci 19, total to date
248; number of cases under treatment
Ala.
No material change in the situation
is looked for in the immediate future,
The small number of deaths indicates
that the type of the disease is not as
malignant as first supposed. The death
rate is about II percent.
There were no prominent people
among the new cases, but the majority
of them are among the people Of COM
Portable circumstances. Only six of the
new disease centers are above Canal
street
The fact that daily deaths have not
increased in connection with the dis
appearance of centers and the gradual
perfection or the system under which
federal officers are battling to prevent
a multiplication of infected squares,
induced DR.. White to say that the out
look was hopeful.
In 1873, at this time, deaths were
coming at the rate of 20 to 40 a day,
with a much smaller population. Fatal
cases this year have run from four to
six day, and a considerable increase
in the daily death list was to be ex-
pected yesterday and today from the
1O5 new cases reported on Saturday
and from the high figures of several
days Immediately preceding. The fact
that a marked increase of deaths has
not resulted is taken to indicate that
many of the cases reported were NAL
aria or light attacks of yellow fever,
or that many of the yellow fever cases
have responded to treatment.

Wholesale Desertlons.

st. PAULA wholesale desertion Of
privates from the army post at Fort
Smelling was reported at army head
quarters here, when it was said that
about so privates had left the post
without permission. The cause OF the
desertion is said to have been a dis
inclination of the men to do manual
labor. The desertion occurred about
Aug. /, when they were paid.
The government recently purchased
a large tract of land to extend the rife
ranges at the post and instead of hlr-
ing common laborers to do the work
impressed the privates to do the level
ling and grading. The work placed
before the mel. and the hot weather, 1t
is said, caused the patriotic spirit to
wilt and they deserted. None has been
apprehended.

PROSPECT SEEMS BRIGHTER.
More Articles Agreed Upon at the
Peace Conference.

Portsmouth, N. H,-The prospects of
peace are distinctly brighter
The plenipotentiaries are now labor
ing with seriousness and earnestness
which leave not the slightest doubt
that both are anxious to conclude a
treaty.
Though the main points remain to
be tackled and the plenipotentiaries of
each side outwardly speak as If unless
the other gives way the conference
will go to pieces, the spirit of COM
promise is in the air.
From an authoritative source it is
now possible to forecast with a fair
degree of accuracy that the crisis will
come on next Monday.

fate of the Chinese eastern railroad
having been disposed of there remains

Ter of the interned warships and the
grant to Japan of fishing rights on the
itoral north of Vladisvostok.
To all except the latter, to which
Russia will agree, a negative answer
has been returned, absolute in the case
Of indemnity and Sakhalin.
Perhaps both the others may be
modified and yielded by Mr. Witte in
order to strengthen his insistence up
on Japanese concession upon indem-
nifty and Sakhalin.
Perhaps both the others may be
