RUSSIAN REBELLION CRUSHED.

The new year will open gloomily
enough for the Russian insurgents.
Their uprising has been quelled, their
blows for liberty have been struck in
vain. The dispatches say that the
country has 'quieted down. that the
last spark OF the recent confiagration
has been extinguished. One reason fer
the quietness is that so manv Of the
people have been killed. so many driven
away from their homes. But they will
not be quiet long.
They are now like a surly dog that
has been dashed into its kennel. As
the dog whines and growls and ticks it's
wounds, though outWardly submissive,
so the people Of Russia are bidding
their time. 1t may be months before
another outbreak occurs. If, in the
meanwhile. the fair promises of the
car are carried into effect there may
not be another uprising. If, though,
promises are again broken, pledges left
unfulhlled, the next revolution will be
better planned and 1t may succeed.
Butchery Of the cold FLOODED charac-
ter that has been practiced in Russia
during the last few weeks may subdue
a people. but 1t does not and cannot
conquer them. The survivors will only
wait for the next opportunity to come,
and come in Russia it must A thought
full writer said the other day: "Chil-
dren who are now alive will almost
surely see The republic of Russia. {"
This may De too hopeful a prophecy,
but it is not entirely without founda-
ton.

DEATHS FROM FEVER
LARGEST NUMBER OF ANY ONE
DAY REPORTED IN THE CITY
OF NEW ORLEANS,

New Orleans, Aus. 2s.-Followiag 10
the official yellow fever report up to
p. m. Sunday:
New cases, 81; total cases to date,
1,74S; deaths, 10; total deaths, 255;
new sub-foci, IL; total sub-foci, 402;
cases remaining under treatment, 119.
The record shows the smallest num-
Der of new cases since Aug. and
the largest number of deaths on any
day since the fever made it's appear
ance. The unusual number of deaths
is attributed in a measure to the
sudden change in the weather, Sat-
urday night being cool and pleas
ant, in great contrast to the weather
of the preceding week. Three well
known merchants are among the new
cases. Only two names that can be
traced to Italian origin are among the
thirty-one new cases. Of the deaths
eight are Italians.
The principal news from outside the
city was the announcement from
Natchez of the discovery Of six cases
there and the attempt to blame New
Orleans for them. This is regarded
as rather strange In view Of the fact
that of all the tight guarantees
against New Orleans, Natchez has
maintained the highest, not even al
lowing it's own people to return there
If they had been near New Orleans.

THREATENS MOROCCO
FRANCE DEMANDS RELEASE or
CITIZEN AND FULL REDRESS
FOR HIS ARREST.

Paris, Aug. 24.-The ministers, un-
der the presidency Of Premier Rou-
vier,- held a lengthy special session
during the day. It was principally
devoted to consideration Of the dis
culinary measures to be taken against
Morocco should the sultan not yield
to the demands Of the French govern
ment for redress for the recent arrest
of a Franco-Algerian citizen.
An official communication says that
unanimous approval was given to the
instructions to be sent to the French
minister at Fee and to the subsequent
action to be taken to compel the sui
tan to- give complete satisfaction.
The nature of this action is not dis
closed, but it is known that it contem-
plated the military occupation Of 4
Moroccan town near the Algerian
frontier, probably Oujda, owing to its
proximity to large French garrison
IN Algeria and to its strategic impor-
lance, as it commands the route to
the interior Of Morocco and the cap
ital, Fee. The latest Official advices
from Fee show that the sultan contin-
ues to hold the Algerian prisoner.
Following the meeting Premier Rou-
vie9 cent Instructions to the French
minister to demand the immediate re-
lease of the prisoner, informing him
that q military demonstration would
be made in case of negative re-
Spouse.
Later 1t was announced that the
ministers had decided that in case
Morocco refused the French demands
the entire personnel of the French
legation would leave Morocco stimuli

ton

OVER A SCORE PERISH
MANY HOUSES WASHED AWAY ~
FLOOD IN RHODE CANYON
IN COLORADO.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 25.-According
to latest reports more than 4
score of persons lost their lives ct
Tabasco and Berwin as the result Of 4
flood in Rhode canyon following Z
cloudburst. From twelve to twenty
houses occupied by Austrian and Ital-
ian miners and their families were
swept away and many Of their occu-
pants drowned.
Tabasco and Berwin, coal mining
camps. having together about 1000
population, are located in Rhode can
yon, down which a torrent of water
rushed, wrecking everything In its
path. The property loss 10 estimated
at hundreds Of thousands Of dollars,
suffered mostly by the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company and the Colorado
Southern Railway company. The for
mer company had mines and coke
ovens scattered along the canyon and
although they were situated mostly
out of reach of tho flood the tram
ways connecting the different proper
ties of the company were practically
all wrecked and the loss In this par
ticular will be immense. The railroad
company had line running up the
mountain and this road was nearly
completely washed out.
Traffic on the Colorado and South
ern, the Santa Fe and the Denver and
Rio Grande railroads is interrupted
owing to the washouts in this vicinity.

The revelation contained in the As

that Japan had already informed En-
peror Nicholas through Ambassador
Meyer that Japan was ready to waive
the question of indemnity and submit
the price to be paid for the northern
half of Sakhalin to the judgment Of 4

way for Japan's backdown upon the
main issue. The announcement had
been the sensation OF the day. It had
met with denials high and low. It
was decided to be impossible, incredt-
BILE. The Japanese declined to admit
It and the Russians said they had no
confirmation. M. Witte intimated
strongly that st. Petersburg had not
appraised him of any such action by
the president. There was even dis.
position to ridicule the idea Of arbi.
trating the price Of half of the island.
Nevertheless on all hands it was ad-
mitted If Japan took this position. the

will depend upon the form in which
