TO DISCUSS BOYCOTT
 AND EXCLUSION TREATY
CHINESE IMPERIAL TRADE CON- MISSIONER ARRIVES AT
 SAN FRANCISCO.

Wishes to Impress on American People
 That Chinese Government Has NOth-
 ing to Do With the Boycott of Ameri-
 can GOOds--DecIares that Whole Mat
 ter is a "Prlvate Enterprise" on the
 Part of the Merchants and Gentry of
 the FlOwery Kingdom.
 San Francisco, Aug. 15.--Among the passengers on the steamer Mongolia, which has arrived here from the Orient, is Wong Kai Kah, Chinese imperial trade commissioned, accompanied by his secretary. He is going to Washing ton. It is said that the object of his trip is to discuss the boycott and the proposed new exclusion treaty.
 He wishes to impress on the Ameri- can people that the Chinese govern ment has nothing to do with the boy colt on American goods, and says that this is a private enterprise" on the part of the merchants and the gentry of the nowery kingdom, and is the re- suit of our treatment of the favored classes who come to this country. He said to-day:
 T shall probably go to the different commercial centers which have trade relations with our country. I have nothing to do with the boycott, nor is my mission to the United Statss with reference to it. It want it to be under stood that there is not an official in China who has anything to do with the boycott, and as last word I will say that it is the earnest desire of my gov ernment to have the most friendly re- lations with the United States"
 MT. Wong Kai Kah was extremely curious as to the peace negotiations and expressed a hope that the war would soon be brought to a close. He seemed to be greatly relieved by the news of the return to China of Manchuria and of the ''open-door" policy as agreed up- on by the peace commissioners.

FILTRATION BEDS OPENED.
Purer Water for the People of the Ma
 tiOnaI Capital.


 Washington, Aug. 15.-The beds of the new $45OO,OOO filtration plant with a capacity each of S,OOO,OOO gallons of pure water were opened to-day. The water from them, however, will not be available for public use until Saturday. The opening of the beds is a source of great satisfaction to the health officials, who attribute much of the prevailing typhoid fever to the daily consumption of from 7O.00O,O0O to 90,OOO,0OO gallons of unfiltered water for drinking and washing purposes. The beneficial eff fleets of the change, however, will ap- pear only gradually, as according to Health Officer Woodward from seven to twenty-five days must elapse before the nature of Che resulting disease can be thoroughly recognized. Tn sixty days the entire filtration plant will be put into operation, thus insuring complete filtered water supply for the national capital. .:- @.- Eleven cases of typhoid fever and three deaths from the disease were re- ported to-day. ......."t .s

Politicians Discussing the Possibility of
 His Yielding to Pressure.
 New York, Aug. 15.-District Attor- ney Jerome was not talking to-day re- garding the attempt of the Citizens Union to make him the anti-Tammany candidate for mayor. But serious dis cussion of the probability of this step was being indulged in among the poli- ticians who are in town.
 It is well known that Mir. Jerome really wishes to be reelected district attorney, but even his close friends are not prepared to announce his refusal to head the anti-machine municipal ticket when the strongest sort of pressure is brought to bear upon him.
 Ex-Sanator John Ford, who is being boomed as a possible mayoralty can didate, is out in declaration for muni- cipal construction and ownership of the new subway system and for three cent fare. MT. Ford says the city must own and build the new subway sys- tenn, and must control il absolutely, either by short term leases or by direct municipal operation,

.DR. GUITERAS IN THE
 FEVER STRICKEN CITY
NOTED CUBAN EXPERT MAKES TOUR OF SEAT OF WORST
 INFECTION

COnfers With Surgeon White Who Has
 Charge of the Fight Against the
 ScOurge-ImprOveme in the Situa-
 tiOn Both as to New Cases and Deaths
 Next Sunday Declared as Day of
 General Disinfection.
 New Orleans, Aug. 15.-The arrival of Dr. John Guiteras, the Cuban yellow fever expert, and his tour of the seat of the worst infection, was the most interesting feature of the yellow fever situation to-day. Dr. Guiteras left Havana to make an inspection of the gulf cities in connection with the Cuban quarantine, and to offer his assistance in the campaign in progress here.
 On his arrival to-day Dr. Guiteras went to the offices of the marine hos pital service for an interview with Sur geon White. Later in the day he join ed Drs. Corpul and Richardson, of the marine hospital service staff, for a tour of the old French market quarter, where the fever first appeared and where it has ragged most fiercely.
 To-day the situation showed an im- provement, both as to new cases and deaths, considering the totals of last week, and while the marine hospital of- feials are unwilling to be quoted now, they are known to entertain most hope ful views The official report for the day follows: New cases, 62; total to date, 1,0S0; deaths, 6; total, 172: new disease center, 19; total to date. 229; number of cahes under treatment, 3S4.
 The results achieved to date have met official expectation. Encourage ment is especially found in the reduc- ton of new disease centers. An anal ysis of the report of twenty-four hours ending August 14; showed eight new fever centers. When case appears on any street the entire square is marked as infected. In three instances of the eight new fever centers the focus was on the opposite side of the street, going to show that the fever had actually appeared in five new quarters of the city.
 Many of the new disease centers of three weeks ago are considered to have disappeared, no new infection appear ing il their neighborhood.
 A draft for $25,0G0 was received to- day at the office of the collector of the port to be put at the disposal of the marine hospital service, which is bear ing some proportion of the heavy ex- pense involved in the effort to elinin- ate the fever. ..@.< s> .:
 Next Sunday has been designated as a day of general disinfection. pr. Warner issued statement to-day in which he said that the screening and otling that has been done will destroy the last chance of new broods of mos quito matching, but that the mosquitoes which were matched before this screen ing and oiling was done are still about the city, and in the present crisis are liable to become as dangerous as so many rattlesnakes.
 A suspicious case of fever, which may develop into yellow fever, was reported to-day from Algiers, near which the naval reservation is located. It is a long distance from the case which appeared in Algiers over three weeks ago and the patient is young girl employed within the area of infec- | tion on this side of the river.

 Mail and newspaper clippings were received by me in camp August Il. The geological survey, or its members, has not and does not own or control the Mining World. No information has been sold or given in advance of gen. eral publication to any journal or indi- yidual to my knowledge. The request to nominate competent writers for the Mining World made to Dr. Day for the purpose of making a first-class western mining Journal was approved by the director, subject to the survey regula- ton that the Mining World was to be treated exactly as all other journals in all matters pertaining to the survey. A fraction of the stock of the Mining World was subscribed for as a purely private matter by some members of the survey. Popular articles based on tech- nical papers first published by the sur- vey have the approval of the director. whether written by members of the survey or others.
 All information and Illustrations ara as free to the outsider as to the survey members. The director has the most cordial relations with the editor of the Engineering and Mining Journal, and Invites criticism from this and other sources, as constructive criticism inn proves the service. If any one has ev- Iidence of wrong doing or irjudicious ac- tion on the part of any members of the geological survey the director asks that 1 1t be sent to the president, the secretary of the interior. the chairman -eff -tssss tasss committee appointed by the president to investigate the business methods of the government or to the directors.

 United States District Attorney Brockens has rendered an opinion for the Japanese Merchants association pronouncing the territorial law which provides that none except citizens or persons who are eligible to become such, shall be employed on any public contracts in the islands, unconstitu- tional, and a violation of the United States treaty with Japan.
 It is understood that the Japanese Merchants association intends to pre- pare test case and insists upon the right of Japanese contractors to bid on public contracts and employe their countrymen as laborers.

LAPS ANXIOUS TO FIGHT.
Wish to Commence Operations Against
 General Linevitch.

London, Aug. 16.-The Times corre- spondent with General Nogi's head quarters in the field sends the follow ing, dated August 12, by way of Fusan:
 "The Japanese army is anxious to commence operations. The higher off, cers do not believe that the military progress has been sufficient to justify the expectation that Russia will con- cede the terms necessarily required by Japan. If the war continues the nature of the country and of the conditions point to the likelihood that future op- erations will be restricted to the neigh borhood of the railway. Wide turning movements, as suggested in the Euro pean press, are not likely to be features of the campaign, nor is it probable that any great military results will en- sue this year."
