267. New foci. 8; total, 42s. Under treat
ment, 174.
Owing to the fact that the total num-
ber of foci which have been printed
from day to day is misleading and that
the number of cases reported under
treatment is inaccurate on account Of
a defect in the formula on which they
were figured. these figures hereafter
will be dropped.
Reports of new cases from the coun-
try are:
Lake Providence. 3; Amelia. 4; Bayou
Bouef. 2; Arderine. 2; Houma, 1; Ken
ner. s; Hanson City. 2; Ninth ward Of
Jefferson parish, 1; St. Rose, 3; Patter-
son, 3; Wayeland plantation. 6; Port

The most important development of
the yellow fever situation today was the
report of DR.. C. Milo Brady. who had
been sent by the state board of health
on a tour OF inspection OF the bayous
and lakes In Jefferson parish where
there are many settlements Of Usher

SHANGHAI, Aug. 29.-Chang Chen,
who has been ordered by the ministry
to commence to concert measures to
settle the boycott, today met the Chin
ese chamber Of commerce and the prln-
cipal piece goods dealers. He began
by filming several dealers 1000 taels
for alleged breaches of the boycott. He
then ordered all to sign an agreement
to buy no more American goods from
foreign merchants of any nationality.
Regarding goods contracted for be-
fore the boycott was started, he stated
his Intention of opening an office,
granting passes and stamping such
goods, thus permitting their sale in the
Interior
He also announced his intention of
opening offices In thirty-slx principal
trade centers In China, where goods
so stamped will be passed. This will
require an initial sum of 100000 taels
which Shanghai dealers must pay, thus
averting impending financial ruin. Per-
manent boycotting machinery is thus
created, available against any branch
Of any foreign trade in China, and II
also means the practical imposition
of new taxation against all treaty
tariffs.

FIREMAN SUFFoCATED

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Groping through
smoke to the top floor of the barns OF
a department store on North Clark
street to rescue four children whom he
believed to be cut off by flames, Lieut..
William M. Mayer of the fire depart
ment was suffocated by the smoke last
night. His dead body was found sew
eral minutes later by other firemen.
While fire was blazing in the barns
spectators called out that the family OF
Louis Nelson, the foreman Of the barns,
was cut off by the flames. Mayer
learned that the rooms of the family
were on the third floor In the rear.
Without waiting for any of his men to
accompany him, he seized an ak and
dashed into the building.
The FIRE, which was blazing in the
hay. gave out thick smoke. Cropping
along he managed to find his way to
the roofs, only TO discover that the
family already had escaped.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-30

They decided to add a new clause in
the nature Of broad provision for
mutual commercial privileges, by which
each country will secure for the other
the benefit of the most favored ma.
ton" clause and the open door,"
The new treaty therefore will be a
wonderfully friendly document, of n
character almost to raise the suspicion
that the two countries have not me-
gotiated peace, but have concluded the
basis of a future alliance. There is,
however, no evidence, as rumored,
that any secret clauses are to be ap
pended to the present treaty.
Before leaving the conference build
ing felicitations were exchanged with
the president at Oyster Bay. Both
Baron Komura and M. Wttte tele-
graphed. The former confined himself
to apprising Mr. Roosevelt of the con-
ditions upon which peace had been
concluded. M. Witte frankly laid his
tribute at the presidents feet. In his
message he said. History will as
cribe to you the glory" and added the
expression of Russia's hearty apprecia-
tion of the presidents generous ini-
tiative." Mr.. Roosevelt replied with
words of thanks and congratulation.
Russians JubiIate Loudly
Then began the jubilation. M. Witte
and Baron de Rosen returned to the
hotel for luncheon. The Japanese had
remained at the conference hall to
lunch with Mr.. Peirce. The news that
peace had been concluded had preceded
the Russian plenipotentiaries. and such
scenes of wild rejoicing have never
before been witnessed in the state of
New Hampshire as greeted them upon
their arrival at the hotel. NJ. Witte,
dazed at the sudden and happy termi-
overpowered by the tremendous ova-
ton he received. He could only ex-
press his gratitude by shaking the hand
of everybody, and in response to the
volley of questions fired at him as to
the terms, murmured, 1--WE pay not a
kopeck and we get half of Sakhalin."
Afterward in his room when he had
partially recovered himself he declared
that he could not have dreamed of such
a victory, for he regards it a diplo-
matte triumph of the first magnitude.
This he makes no attempt to; conceal
and it is the general verdict here to-
night. The Russians are overjoyed at
the result. 1--WE have had our Lao
Yangs and Mukdens OH land" they say,
'and our Tsushimas on sea, but the
Japanese have their Portsmouth.

ENJOYS AGREE
. ON PEACE TERMS
tCont,nued from Pare One,

the Japanese compromise proposal OF
last Wednesday they were delivered to
Baron Komura this morning. M. Witte
went to the conference declaring he
was powerless to change the dot of an
"i'' or the cross of "t'' in his instruc-
tions. Emepror Nicholas word had
been given not only to him but to Pres
ident Roosevelt, the head of a foreign
state.
Agree to the Russian Position
When Baron Komura, therefore, first
offered the new basis of compromise
outlined in the Associated Press dis
patches last night, viz, the complete
renunciation of indemnity, coupled with
a proposition for the redemption of
Sakhalin at a price to be fixed by a
mixed tribunal consisting of represen-
tatives of the neutral powers, which
was in fact, if not in words, the solu-
ton offered by the president, NJ. Witte
again returned a non-possumus. 1t
was what NJ. Witte termed in his in
terview with the Associated Press the
psychological moment"
NJ. Witte did not finch. He feared a
rupture and, as he expressed it after
ward, he was stunned by what hap
pened. Baron Komura gave way on all
the disputed points. With the pres
cience that has enabled the japanese
to gauge the mental processes of their
adversaries on the field of battle and

vance that peace could be obtained in
no other way. They had warned their
government. President Roosevelt had
also, It is believed, advised Japan that
1t was better to meet the Russian po-
sition than to take the responsibility
of continuing the war for the purpose
OF collecting tribute. The mikado, at
the advice of the cabinet and elder
statesmen, yesterday had sanctioned
the final concession. When Baron Ko-
mura yielded the rest was mere child's
play.
Articles 10 and IL, dealing with the
interned warships and the limitation
of Russia's sea power in the Far East,
were withdrawn. Japan agreed that
only that portion of the Chinese East
ern railroad south Of Chantfu, the posi-
ton occupied by oyama. should bs
ceded to Japan Both sides. when the
deadlock was broken, wanted lust
and lasting peace, and in that respect
1t was decided to practically neutrallze
sakhalin. each country binding itself
not to fortify its half of the island.
and Japan assuming an obligation not
to fortify La Perouse strait. between
sakhalin and Hokkaido. which would

BOYCOTT CAUSES ALARM
Returned Students From Japan and
America Feed the Fire

BY Associated Press
| PEKIN, Aug. 29.-The American
boycott almost overshadows the peace
negotiations as a topic of interest In
China. Accounts reaching Pekin from
trading centers Indicate that the move
nnnt attained Its greatest strength
early in August, and since then has
been decreasing. Nowhere except In
Shanghai has American business re.
| ceived serious blow.
The boycott would have been equally
successful at Tien Tsin, which is a
distributing market for American
goods second only to Shanghai, ex-
cept for the determined repression of
| Yuan Shikai, who is almost the only
Chinese viceroy really ruling his. own
province
Many important merchants who en-
parked in the boycott now repent of the
scheme, but it has passed beyond their
control into the hands of agitators, the
majority of whom are students, many
recently returned from Japan and some

and in newspapers lurid stories of out
RACES received at the hands of Ameri-
can immigration officials. The agita-
tors are active principally in the central
and southern cities. They have aban-
doned the original demand that Chinese
students and merchants be admitted to
America as freely as those of other
nationalities, and now are demanding
They argue that if this movement sue
ceeds the same coercion may be en-
ployed against Canada, Australia, Java
and all countries in which Chinese live.
Native Papers Fan the Agitation
The native newspapers which have
become influential only since the Boxer
uprising and the number whereof is
multiplying are a powerful factor in
tanning the agitation.
The best informed foreigners believe
that the boycott has passed its climax
and will gradually subside; that the
cessation of orders for American goods
is merely temporary and that decrease
of orders now will result in corre-
spending increase later in the year.
The end of the Russo-Japanese war,
by opening Manchuria, will give great
impetus to American trade. That coun-
try practically has been closed to i'm
ports throughout the war. largely be-
cause the armies monopolized all means
of transportation.
The guilds have launched the move
rnent by forming permanent organiza-
tion and have plenty of funds to send
orators about the country and SOW cir
culars broadcast. They boast of re-
ceiving many contributions and mes
sages from American sympathizers.
Proportionately, as the first boycott
succeeds, the weapon may be expected
to be employed against any government
that offends the Chinese.

Lash Tor VIII. Dealers.

Portland, Ore, May I9.-The
"whipping post law" passed by the
Legislature in January last for the
punishment of wife beaters, has gone
into effect in this State to-day.
The new law provides that a man
convicted of wife beating may be
punished with whipping, not exceed
ing 20 lashes, but this is only an ad-
ditional punishment, and not the ex-
elusive punishment for the crime.
The old law by fine or imprisonment
is still in effect under the new law.
According to the new law the whip
ping is conducted within the walls of
the county Jail, and by the sheriff of
the county or by regularly ap-
pointed policeman as the case may be.

Battles with Moros.

Manila, May 15.-Fierce fighting has
been going on the last two weeks on the
island of Jolo between the outlaw Moro
chief, Pala, with 600 well. Harmed fol-
lowers, and troops under the personal
command of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood.
Pala's losses thus far are 800 killed, while
those of Gen. Wood are seven killed and
10 wounded. Pala and his remaining
followers, in accordance with Moro ira
dition, prefer death to capture.
Pala was noted slave trader and
warrior when the Americans occupied
the islands. Later he escaped with his
followers to the island of Pula Sekar,
near Borneo. One of Pala's leaders de-
serted and took refuge in the British
settlement at Lahad. Pala, discovering
his whereabouts, landed with a follow
ing and demanded of the British magis-
trate that he turn the deserter over to
him. The demand was not complied
with and Pala ordered a massacre. Pala
escaped to the island of Jolo and organ
lied the present uprising.
