cry suspicious case again developed a
stout total of new cases of yellow

View of the outlook. II is believed
That there is little danger to be feared
from an attack of the fever In its

ent measure of improvement, how
ever, there has been and is to be no
relaxation of the supreme efforts be-
ing made to wipe out the fever.

cases of yellow fever at Mississippi

tied up the gulf and ship island road

against the entire Mississippi coast.

PEACE POSSIBILITY NOW
LOOKS LIKE FORLORN HOPE

midnight that Turing the conference
the Japanese plenipotenuaries several
times manifested a sort of desire to
couple the consideration OF the dis
puted points. This might indicate
willingness to bargain at the end. The
Russians watched these moves with
great interest, waiting for their adver,
saries TO press them, but without
showing their hands,
London Officials Look for Peace.
London, Aug. 1S.-While pessimism
reigns supreme in the reports from
Portsmouth and in newspaper editor
government, which has been kept in
London a strong conviction that
treaty of peace will be the on come
of the conference. The Associated
Press is able to state that the British
government, which has been keI1 in
formed of the progress of the negoti-
atoms through Minister Hayashi, is
fairly hopeful that a lasting peace
vii be concluded. A diplomat with
whom the Associated Press discussed
the question yesterday said:
at is natural for both sides to as
sumo an unyielding attitude and TO
maintain their respective positions to
the point of breaking off the negotia-
tons. This has been the practice
of plenipoteniaries at every peace
conference. | do not believe the
plenipotentiaries in this case will
leave Portsmouth without signing
treaty. Their responsibility for the
continuation of this CHASTITY war is
too serious. The honor in the CON
test has been won and lost already
and treaty with or without sacrifice
on points of differenence will affect
the prestige of neither. Both the
Russians and Japanese knew practic
ally what terms could be arranged
when it was agreed to meet and the
Russians were we'll aware that the
Japanese would want Sakhalin and
an indemnity. If the plenipotentiar-
les keep their temper | am of the
opinion that they are not likely to
split on any points before them
In contradiction to persistent asser-
tions that the British government is
pressing Japan to ame,iorate her DE,
mands, foreign officials in formed the
Associated Press yesterday that the
government ~as taking no part what
ever in tie negotiations. Advice, Il
was saiG, had not been asked of Great
Britain by her ally, and it was not

HEARST TO RUN FOR MAYOR
Tammany Hall Refuses to Endorse Je-
rome for Reelection.

New York, oct. 1.-THE radical Dem
ocrats last night decided to nominate
William r. Hearst for Mayor, John
Ford for Controller and John G. Phelps
Stokes for President of the Board of AL
derman. These men will be placed in
domination at the convention of the
Municipal Ownership League at Car
negie Hall tomorrow night. All ques-
tion about Mr.. Hearst's acceptance of
the nomination for Mayor was dispell
ed when Justice Samuel Seabury read
to the Astor House Committee Of Sew
tnteen letter from Congressman
Hearst accepting the proffered nomin-
alton.
Charles f. Murphy told the district
leaders who called on him yesterday
at Tammany Hall that Jerome was no
longer being considered as a candidate
for District Attorney on the Tammany
ticket James w. Osborne, former AS
sistant District Attorney; James w.
Gerard and NJ. Marley Platzek. are re-
garded now as the leading candidates
for the place. The decllnation of the
Republican nomination by Charles +.
Hughes on Monday practically shut
door of Tammany Hall on the District
Attorney. If Mr.. Hughes had accepted
the nomination, Tammany confronted
with the fight of its life would have
| indorsed Jerome as a war measure"

summation devoutly to be wished"
II is fight Of more than local signi-
hcance Already it has given decent
people in other sections inspiration
and the courage to insist on . better
order OF public service.
Some idea may be formed of the
desperate situation Of the machine
from its failure to secure speakers OF
prominence for its campaign. The
senior Senator OF Pennsylvania Is
fighting for his political existence. yet
IAN persons Of national reputation have
refused 10 come to his rescue. Sem
ator Knox cannot be induced to make
a speech in Philadelphia. Attorney
General Carson refuses to open his
mouth. The Vice President declined
and Senator Foraker after having ac-
lcepted, reconsidered his letter and now
refuses.
But the straws which show the di-
rection Of the tide are the dcsertons
from the machine that take place ev-
ery day. The small politician is in
touch with the masses and knows their
sentiments as nobody else can. When
he gets in out Of the wet, look out for
the deluge.

THE ARMY RATION.
A Good Suggestion For an Old SOL
dier.

A Good Suggestion For an Old SOL
dier.
The government has been experimenting
for some years seeking a condensed food
to be used by soldiers in case of emerg-
ency when the army shall cut loose from
its base of supplies and cast Off its wagon
trains and the troops shall carry their
rations for a number of days in their
haversacks While some progress has
been made the problem has not yet been
solved
A veteran from the Civil War, writing
from New England, says in this connec-
tion:
II have been using Grape-Nuts food for
some time, and my liking for it Increases
with use 1 ind it extremely palatable,
and not only digestible but an aid TO the
digestion of other food which used to give
me trouble.
what has particularly struck me is
the fact that a very small quantity of it
Is sufficient for an entire meai-that /
really need no other food 1t is my GUS
tom to begin my breakfast with two
hoaping tablespoonfuls of Grape-Nuts
with cream BY the time 1 have eaten
that I hnd that my appetite has been
completely satisfied. I feel the comfort
able sensation OF one who has breakfast
ed wisely and well. and while ] sometimes
cat a little OF other things, I do It more
as a matter of habit than anything else.
1 find that 1 can so till noon on two ia
blespoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream
alone. and what is also an Important con-
sideration. without any uncomfortable
sense OF fulness such as I usually feel
when / eat my old style breakfast. Is
peciany is this so il I drink "A cup Of
good. hot Postum Coffee with the meal,
for I must confess the old kind of coffee
fills me full Of gas and discomfort for
some hours after I drink it.
"Now il las occurred 10 me that Grape
Nuts food ought to be added TO the army
ration for the reason that it furnishes so
much saC-sfying. nourlshing food in such
small bulk a soldier with a package Of
Crane Nuts in his haversack would have
a food supply adequate for several days
of marching and fighting II wouldn't
take up much room. and the weight is
nothing

II HERE are evidences OF am awak-

that is encouraging. It is I'm keeping
with the spirit shown in all live Amer
ican municipalities The membership
OF the Board OF Trade is large and
what is better there is a good attend
ance at the meetings and a disposition
to enter into discussions.
Recently our departments OF the
municipal government have shown a
disposition to consult with the Board
Of Trade, and this is praiseworthy, for
this organization represents class Of
citizenship that is behind our indus
tries and our enterprises, and which
is vitality interested IN AN that goes to
make a greater and more prosperous
wilmington
There are problems of vast import
ance that live board Of trade can
help to solve properly Just now It is
considering the widening OF Tenth
street. the proposition to vacate a part
OF Water street IN order TO give US a
more commodious railroad station. and
the Delaware and Chesapeake ship
Canal
There win always be something that
this body can effect by energetic and
intelligent acton. The water question
is yet unsoived; there Is always need
OF harhor improvements; the Dela-
ware river front for shipping will be
pertinent question until It is real
lied and the question OF inviting new
enterprises is ever new.
The activity of the Board Of Trade
is the sign of an awakened public
spirit. but il also arouses and creates
