REASONABLE AND LEGITIMATE.
Verdict of London Press on the Peace
 Terms.

London, Aug. Reasonable and legitimate is generally the verdict of the London newspapers on the Japan ese peace terms, which are discussed entirely from the text furnished by the Associated Press of the exclusive in- formation regarding Japan's conditions. The press in chorus urges Russia to accept the terms and avoid further, bloodshed and ensure a lasting peace.
 All the newspapers argue entirely from a Japanese standpoint, but 1t is generally conceded that the fact that the negotiations are now almost certain to continue is in itself long step to- wards peace. The more conservative papers believe that the terms afford a chance for bargaining, and suggest that it is not improbable that Japan finally will yield on the questions of fishing rights, interned ships and other minor points.
 The Daily Telegraph says: There is both an ancient and modern precedent on the side of Japan. Our allies mean what they say they meant, and what they said prior to the war. Is there going to be a repetition of the blum der of thinking that Japan's irreducible minimum Is reducible?"

 Hard to Understand How Any One in

 London, Aug. 1L-The reports which have been persistent that a meeting has been arranged between King Edward and Emperor William are definitely contradicted by Baron Francis Knollys. secretary to the king. who has sent 2. dispatch to the Associated Press thau this report Is absolutely untrue.
 Berlin, Aug. 11.-Dr. Theodore Barths editor of Die Nation, one of those who seek to remove the mutual distrust and hostility existing between Germany and Great Britain, recently asked James Bryce, former president of the British board of trade. several ques- tions concerning the feelings of English statesmen toward Germany. Mir. Bryce in replying said:
 have mentioned your questions to some of my colleagues in the last lfb- eral ministry, including Lord Spencer and Sir Henry Campbell -Bannernans and what I have written to you cons veys in substance their opinions also. though the expression of them is my own,
 MT. Bryce's letter, which was signed for publication, is dated August and says:
 You are perfectly correct in thinking that in England no serious politician has dreamed of interfering with the undoubted right of sovereign state like Germany to create for itself what ever naval or military armaInents it's deems needfuL You are also right in your belief that no danger to the good relations of England and Germany has arisen or could arise from any preten- sion to prescribe limits to the extension of the German fleet, for no such notion could enter the head of any sane man.
 The idea of using force as means for meeting commercial rivalry is ut terly foreign to British liberalism, and go further and believe that such an idea is also foreign to the vast naaice-- ity of the sensible conservatives iii England.
 This is not party matter. There is, so far as I know, no responsible statesman, no considerable body of thoughtful men, that does not deplore
  which is carried on by some English and German journals no one who would not regard breach of their friendly relations as a frightful misfor- tune for both countries.
 Though some newspapers say foolish things, find it hard to understand how any one in Germany can credit England with the projects which have in some quarters been attributed to her"

RESCUE OF ITALIA AND PARTY
DETAILS OF VOKAGE TO FIND a NORTH POLE.

 UnsurmountabIe ObstacIes-TIard-

 Tromsoe. Norwal, Aug. 1.-The relief steamer Terra Nova, which, as am nounced in dispatches from Honnings- vaag yesterday, succeeding in rescuing Anthony Fiala and the other members of the Ziegler Polar expedition, arrived here to-day, after an adventurous voy- age, which at one time threatened to end in failure, owing to the thickness of the ice encountered.
 The Terra Nova, after sailing from Tromsoe June IA last, shaped her course direct for the ice fields, which were encountered on June 19 in latitude 75 degrees 57 minutes north, longitude 36 degrees 26 minutes east. The condi- tions of the ice being favorable, the ship steamed eastward along the edge of the field until June 27, when she commenced to force her way through the foe, and on July 25 struck open water.
 Thick ice was again encountered the following day, and William s. Champ, secretary of the late Williab Ziegler, who commanded the relief expedition, and the experienced navigators with him began to doubt the possibility of reaching their destination or of re- turing this year. Finally, however, on the morning of July 29 the Terra Nova reached Cape Dillon, finding there six members of the expedition safe and well. From this outpost sleds were dis patched to notify MT. Fiala, at his headquarters, of the arrival of the res cue ship.
 1 The Terra Nova reached Cape Flora on July 30 and found more members oi the expedition. These had become weakened by their hardships, and some of them were so i'll that they could not have held out for another winter.
 Returning to Cape Dillon, MT. ChamT organized sled party and started fol the headquarters camp. from which h, brought back MT. Fiala and his com. rades.
 The Terra Nova sailed for home or August 1. She got out of the ice pacl on August and returned in excellen condition. *S.r-

WHAT MIGHT RE EXPECTED.
Opinion of Part of the Berlin Press on
 Japan's Terms.

Berlin, Aug. 12.-The newspapers this morning seem disinclined, as whole, to express their opinion on the Japan csc peace terms. Some regard them as hard for Russia. but say that they are only what was to be expected.
 Russian utterances at Portsmouth and St. Petersburg pronouncing the terms unacceptable are treated here as signifying nothing. It is pointed out that the French talked the same way in 1871 concerning the cession of Alsace and Lorraine, but that they agreed to it rather than prosecute hopeless war.
 Baron Komura's withholding of the amount Japan will ask as reimburse ment for war expenses is regarded as a shrewd move designed to get the Rus sian commissioners to accept the prop osition that Russia must bear them before the Russian authorities and public become incensed at the specific amount.

ANOTHER MURDER MYSTERY.
The Strange Death of New York Public
 Accountant.

New York. Sept. 11.-What may de- velop into another mysterious hotel murder like that of Jacob H. Thompson. a well-known editor, was discovered yesterday in an obscure hostelry at Sixth Avenue and Fifty-sixth Street.
 Through the odor of escaping gas. a maid in the hotel was drawn into a room occupied for the night previous by Alfred Krattinger, public account ant, who lived with his wife, father and brothers in West Fifty-second Street. The room was broken open and Krat- tinger found dead in bed. There were no signs of violence and 1t appeared to be a common place suicide. A coroner and detectives made a systematic ex- animation of the body and the room. and began to discover things that led them to thinking.
 It was observed that the transom of the room was half open, while the room showed none of the usual prep aration for suicide by gas. When the coroner came to examine the body closely he noticed that the face was not blackened or discolored. as fre- quently happens In asphyxiation cases. Then he saw a large bruise just over the right ear. near the temple. It was such a confusion as might have been caused by hard fall or a blow from a nSaVy SUCK UT WUapohs
 Krattinger's brother told the coroner that there should be found on the body diamond pin worth $1,1oo and con siderable amount of cash. The only thing found in the pockets was cheap pocket knife. There was no trace of tho diamond pin.
 It was subsequently ascertained by the coroner that the hotel register had been tempered with and the time of Krattinger's arrival changed. The ho- tel employees professed entire igno- rance as to who made the change. Krattinger's father and brothers de- clared. after the examination. that they were positive the accountant had been murdered in his room early yesterday morning for his money and pin, and that the thief and murderer had es- eaped by the Sixth Avenue window ar ter arranging the body neatly and turning on the gas to create the ina- pression of suicide.

Brady of the State Board today ar- ranged to take a trip through the Bara- taria country, where there is still much sickness The efficient measures taken by the Jefferson authorities, toe<ther with the assistance given by the State Board of Health. has. however, checked a general spread of the disease and now there Is medical and nursing help at hand, the fatal character of the sick ness has been much lessened. Profes- sor B3yce of Liverpool was to have made the trip with Dr. Warner. but he has succeeded in making arrangements to go to British Honduras to further study the disease, and will leave here on Wednesday.
 Dr. Corput reports that tho Kenner Hospital is now filling up with patients and it Is apprehended that tho situation on the plantations for distance of ten miles above New Orleans will steadily improve. Four nurses have been as- signed to duty at Kcnner. and patients will be received from all the surround ing country.
 The railroads are preparing to CO., operate with the sugar planters In the effort to get ample hands into the vari- ous plantations in the sugar country to enable the crop to be taken of. They expect the assistance Of pr. White in maintaining the Avondale camp. From that camp laborers can be sent over the Southern Pacific, Texas Pacific and Mis- sissippi Valley Railroads, which are three lines which traverse the sugar districts. and advices from the coun- try indicate that the health and paro- chial authorities in all the sugar par ishes will stretch their restrictions to the limit in order to aid the movement of labor into them. Frost causes no injury but distinct advantage to cane and what the planters must guard against is freezing weather. With the prospect of getting a reasonably ade- quate supply of labor. they believe that this years great crop will be taken on with comparatively little loss.
