IS DENOUNCED

Moscow, Aug. pat public
meeting in the town hall the en-
peror's manifesto on the douma pro-
ject was discussed. One speaker de-
nounced the manifesto and the pro-

litzin, made speech, after which a
resolution was adopted declaring
that the meeting attached great value
to the constitution of the douma as
the first step toward participation OF
the public in the work of legislation,
but that it fully realized that a ma
tional government was possible only
on the condition that the Russian peo-
pie be given Immediately all civil
rights, freedom of the press, freedom
of speech and meeting and inviola-
bility of person, and urging that
changes be made based on the prin.
ciple of universal suffrage in order
to restore the complete calm Of the

Or the plenipotentiarles had reached
Tue parting OF the ways. The adyer-

Baron Konlura in a few words ex-
p!a'hed that Japan, in her great des-
sire Tor peace, was ready to make
certain notifications" of the original
articles in the hope that Russia could
find it possible to accept them. He
lhen presented in writing to Nj. Witte
me compromise proposition which
President Roosevelt had suggested.
1t was concise and specific, and it
followed the lines outlined in these
dispatches. 1t offered to withdraw
article 9, providing for the payment
by Russia of Japan's bill for the cost
OF the war, on condition that Russia
would accept article 5, which provides
for the cession of the island of SAX
hahn, so modified as to include an ar
rangement for the repurchase by
Russia of the northern half of the
island for 1,2OO,00O,OOO yen. In adj
dltlon it offered to withdraw entirely
articles II and u Surrender of the
lnterned warships and limitation up
on Russia's sea power in the far east)
1t was President Roosevelt's COM
promise and NJ Witte knew It's con-
tents as we'll as Baron Komura. The
question of whether he had been
"bluffing' was nut to the test.
Without a moments hesitation M
White explained that the modification
was merely sham; a
change of phraseology; diplomatic
to 'dorer la pilule" and to ask
Russia to pay war tribute under an
other name. He could not accept it.
He told Baron Komura Russia wanted
peace. She had given the proofs in
accepting every article involving the
issues upon which the war was fought,
but she could fight and money for tri-
butte she would not pay, not copeck.
He asked Baron Komura to withdraw
all demands for tribute. And SO the
separated, to meet
again on Saturday ostensibly to per-
NIT NJ. Witte to place in writing as
he rules of the conference require,
lis reply to the Japanese comprom-
Sc proposition. In reality the adj
ournment over the two days was to
i've each side an opportunity to con-
ult it's government for the last time.
The outlook is black. Many believe
t was never SO black as now.

Three Cases Are Reported at
Gregory No., Near

ITALIAN LABORER IS DEAD
Situation, However, is Not Consieer-
ed Serious-lncrease in Number OF
Fever Cases and of Fatalities Does
Not Daunt Optimism.

New Orleans. La. Aug. 21.-No
better evidence of the fact that the
visitation of mosquito fever Is not
only being controlled here, but thai
there is chance for it's eradication
can be found than in the daily re-
ports of cases and deaths. For sev.
eral days the number Of new cases
has shown a decline, while the NUM-
Der of deaths have been remarkably
low, considering the number of cases
reported a week ago.
OF the four deaths one was in the
charity hospital, one in the emergency
hospital, and the other two down
town.
Gregory, Mo-, Aug. 22.-Three cases
of yellow fever have developed here
within the last twenty-four hours. All
are Italians. One victim had died
and two other cases discovered yes
terday morning are said to be very
low.
The three infected Italians, with
four others Of the same nationality,
were brought up the river to Gregory
recently from Greenville, Miss, and
employed at track work by the Burl-
ington railroad. On Sunday one OF
the men. taken suddenly i'll, was re-
ported dying, and when physicians
called promptly reported the patient
suffering from genuine yellow fever.
He was isolated, but died within u
few hours. Yesterday two more of
the Italians were found to have be-
come infected with the disease. They
also were isolated, as were the four
other Italians brought from Missis-
sippi. Excitement is intense. and
much indignation is expressed that the
Italians were permitted to slip through
the quarantine lines.
Gregory is lumber camp on the
Mississippi river fifteen miles from

A MoMENToUs CONFERENCE.
Baron Rosen and President Roosevelt
Meet

meet.
Oyster Bay, N Y, Aug 20-Presl-
dent Roosevelt Is, exerting every par.
ticle of his great influence TO prevent
rupture of the peace conference at
Portsmouth. He is engaged in su-
preme effort to induce the ENJOYS of
the belligerent governments TO COM
promise their differences and reach
an agreement that will ycsul. in "a
just and lasting peace
In his efforts he has the active
and cordial support of Great Britain,
France and Germany. Tremendous
and world wide pressure is being
brought to bear r2on the governments
at st. PetersbV and Toxic to not
permit the Wass hgton conference to
fail of affirmative results. 1t can he
said that there is ground for the hope
that it will not fail.
Baron de Rosen, Russian ambassa-
dor to the United States and second
of the Russian emperor's ENJOYS 10
the peace conference, was with Presi-
dent Roosevelt an hour late yesterday
afternoon at Sycamore Hill.
He came to Oyster Bay by invita-
ton of the PRECEDENT, not merely to
discuss with him the situation, but
to have presented to him, by the
president a proposition which, it is
hoped, may solve the differences
which have arisen between the pleni-
potentiaries of the two governments.
After his conference with the presi-
dent, Baron Rosen left Immediately
for his summer home at Magnolia,
Mass, where he and M. White, the
principal Russian ENJOY, spent yester-
day.
Neither President Roosevelt nor
Baron de Rosen would discuss, even
in the most general terms, the details
or the result of theip conference. The
amba ssador will present the presi-
dents proposition te M. Witte today
and the likelihood Is that it will be
transmitted to Emperor Nicholas.
On the result of its consideration
will depend the fate of the peace con-
ference. 1t is probable that before
the ENJOYS meet next Tuesday morn
ing, it may be known with some de-
gree of definiteness whether there is
to be peace in the far east or con
tinuance of war. 49,.

France After Morocco.

Tangier, Morocco, Aug. 23.-The
French minister, St.. Rene Taillandire,
has presented to the sultan, Mulai alb
del Aziz, an energetic demand for an
indemnity of $4,000 for the recent ar
rest of Franco-Algerian citizen. The
minister also demands the punish
ment of the official responsible for
the arrest and an additional indem-
nifty of $1OO daily until the prisoner is
released. t
It is believed that the sultan will
promptly grant the demand, as it is
definitely known that the French gov
eminent is ready to adopt forcible
means to bring the sultan to terms.
