STEPPED INTO cREvAssE.


Kalispel, Mont, Aug l4.-Mrs. A.
M. Burt, OF jamestown, N. D., mem
Der OF party from the Big Fork,
Mont, biological school, had narrow
escape from death while ascending
Sperry glacier, above Lake Mcdonald,
in the Clearwater country. Mrs. Burt
had just ceased commenting Oh the
danger of stepping into blind crevasse
in the state of unpreparedness in which
the party was, when she disappeared
from sight. The crevasse had been un-
dermined by the intense heat of the
previous month, and had given away
beneath the feet of the unfortunate
woman, who gave despairing cry as
she disappeared. The men Of the party
cautiously approached the crevasse,
which was uncovered about five feet
wide, and nearly straight fall of
more than so feet, but no sight OF Mrs.
Burt was to be had. Listening closely
a call for help was heard.
A courier was sent three miles for
ropes, by means of which, with short
leather belts, suspenders and silk
scarfs, the woman was finally rescued,
after an effort of more than two hours.
The shock was so great that nervous
prostration is feared.
Mrs. Burt says she was bounced from
side to side OF the crevasse in her de-
scent, but miraculously lodged in a
pocket in the side Of the wall, other
wise she would have been precipitated
to unknown depths and persisted.

RUSSIA REJECTS
TWO CONDITIONS
Positively Refuses to Cede SakhalIn
or Pay Indemnity.
Peace Prospects Are Therefore Very
SIight--Witts Talks About Visiting
Chicago On His Return Home --
Japanese Maintain Absolute Ss-
crecy K~gardIng Thsir Plans.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. I2.--Rus-
sis's reply to the Japanese terms Of
peace we're delivered by M. Witte to
Baron Komura At $50 O'Clock today.
The reply 10 written, there being two
texts, one in French, the other In Eng
llsh. Upon tbs two crucial points, in
demnsty and the cession Of the island
Of 6Akhaiin, the reply In An absolute
nonpossumus. Other points are as-
cepted ~ basis for discussion, while
others are accepted conditionally.
The reply ID rather long, because, In
enumerating the conditions on which
discussion IL admitted and those on
which consideration Ia declined, rea
sons and arguments are given. The
Japanese plenipotentiaries asked for an
immediate adjournment to examine
and prepare their reply. M. Witte
intimated that the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries expect the Japanese to display
as much expedition IA they, "the Rus
SLAMS, have shown in the preparation
OF their response" Monday, there
fore 10 expected to be the day on which
the real discussion OF the negotiations
will begin. Neither side wants to in
dulga In diplomatic sparring. The
time for fencing Ia over and less than
week must decide whether a basis OF
peace 10 possible.
The tactics OF the Japanese are In
scrutsble. They have shown through
out the war their ability to guard their
secrets, military, naval and diplomatic.
and now not the remotest clue comes
from behind their closed doors az to
whether they are prepared TO make
substantial concessions. Silence and
secrecy are their watchwords. But,
should the conditions as submitted con-
stitute their last word, hope OF peace
may be regarded AZ having disappeared,
II the feeling reflected In Russian cir
cles Ia true criterion. And that no
substantial concessions on the main
issues will be made 10 the belief both in
Russian and Japanese circles. M.
Witte, 1t Is positively known. believes
the prospects Of An agreeent are so re-
mote AZ to be practically nil. He has
no desire to prolong the agony, and in
stead Of fencing when the ENJOYS come
together after the Japanese have had
the opportunity to examine the reply,
there is strong reason to believe he will
not only welcome but will insist upon
an immediate discussion OF all the
proposed bases. So pessimistic Is he
that he has already been talking to
his colleagues OF his plans when the
rupture comes. Before sailing for home
he contemplates visit to Chicago.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 10. - The
first official meeting OF the Russian
and Japanese peace envcys took place
in this city yesterday. Credentials
were exchanged and accepted. 1t was
decided to hold two daily sessions, one
in the morning at $3.50, and one in the
afternoon at 8. To avoid delay ana
give the plenipotentiaries and delegates
time for consultations between ses-
sious. 1t has / cen arranged that lunch
con will be served at the navy yard and
the ENJOYS, upon leaving their quarters
In the morning, will not return until
the afternoon session adjourns. Three
secretaries for each side will be in at
tendance to draw up the protocols OF
the meetings, which will be written in
both English and French. The French
text, however, in cases of dispute, will
be accepted in evidence (faire fo).
The firm attitude of M. Wi.te in
private conversation against the pay
ment OF an indemnity and the insistent
reports emanating from Japanese quar-
tiers that a stiff war contribution APP
proximating the cost of the war, vari-
ously stated at from 5000, 100000 to
$500, 900, 900, constitutes one of Jap
ans demands, indicates wide If not
irreconcilable difference between Jap
ans irreducible minimum and what
Russia is prepared to accept. Upon
the question OF the payment of large
indemnity the instructions of the Rus
sian plenipotentiaries are believed to
admit of no concessions, although it is
possible certain compensation in kind
might be arranged, For instance, it is
suggested that for the REIMBURSEMENT
of the island of Sakhalin, now in
Japanese hands, the possession of which
by Japan would give her command of
the whole Siberian littoral, Russia
could with propriety pay large sum.
At this mornings meeting Baron
Komura spoke Japanese, his secretary,
Mr.. Honda, translated it into French,
while M. Witte spoke entirely in
French.

Austin, Tex, Ang. 12.-State Health
Officer Tabor has submitted a report
to Governor Lanhsm concerning the
yellow fever situation in the South,
in which he says:
"Yellow fever exists now In Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and
the Republic OF Mexico. Texas is
sandwiched between the infected dis
tricts, with very little hope of escap-
ing invasion by the scourge with the
long summer before us. We are guard
cd as closely as possible, but it is
very hard to maintain successful
quarantine. / would most certainly
insist that there be no mobilization Of
oitixens or soldiers at this time, as any
excitement might cause general STAN
pede and a general quarantine that
could tie mp the entire railroad service
of the state"
The officer has also called upon the
governor to hold the entire state ranger
force in reserve subject to his orders,
40 he may need them at any time to
control the quarantine situation.
