RUSSIA UNITING
AGAINST PEACE
The Gar Urged to Issue a Ukase
TO Continue the War.
The Peace situation Shows No
Change, But There Is Still
Hope.
ROOSEVELT is WORKING HARD
Russia Seems Firm.

ST. Petersburg. Aug. 25.-The la
test developments clearly indicate
that the Associated Press dispatches
declaring that Russia will never con-
sent to the payment of an indemnity
IN any form, represent Russia's last
word with reference TO the prlnci-
pie of monetary compensation and
the expenses of the war.
The authoritative statement made
TO the Associated Press at Ports
mouth. which is in the same tenor,
was followed last evening by decla-
ration from the official spokesman of
the foreign office, which was made al
most with the force of a formal com
muuique, that under no circumstan-
ces and no disguise would the primer
Pile of Indemnity be admitted and this
decision is accepted by the Russian
public as final.
The emperor's inflexible determi-
nation to continue the war rather
than yield to a demand which is re-
garded as warrantable only in the
case of n vanquished nation. is
strengthened by dispatches from L-ne
Witch in which he reports the strength
of the Russian position and speaks
favorably of the spirit and condition
of his latest reinforcements and mo>
ale of the entire army.

denying that he charged anything
for Issuing certificates. The only
instance where he did charge was
when he was asked TO go TO the depot
for the purpose of issuing certificates.

without authority for which 81 was
paid. but DR.. Graves had no connec-
lion with this, he said.
DR.. Stewart who issued certificates
for the county, stated that he did
charge non-residents and intended
continuing to do so because his Office
was one which was not restricted
from charging by city ordinance He
explained that as far as negligence

tive about persons applying for Ger
ificates. he had never been negligent.

merchants. stated a meeting would be
held tonight to take some action to-
ward asking the legislative boards to
establish quarantine and wanted
cooperation of the board of health.
No action was taken.

sion as TO what should be done to-
wards naming a person to issue GER
tiilcates, since the Cairo authorities
decided not to recognize those from
DIS. Stewart and Graves Member
Slceth made a motion to stand by the
health officer and to tell Cairo that
the afiidavlts made to them about
the certificates issued under the new
board are false. The motion was
unanimously adoped and Mayor
Ieiser ordered to make this report to
