 Tn view of the disappointing way m which the quarantine was conducted, MT. Jackson said he was ready to vote to abolish the registration system. The registration was intended to be part of the. city quarantine. but the Acting Mayor, notwithstanding he knew the views of the committed, maintained the registration as the whole thing. mas much as the Ideas of the committee were not being carried out by the Act- ing Mayor. MT. Jackson favored the abolition of the system.
 Alderman Gunter. in supporting the minority report said that what Mont romery had to fear from yellow fever was not it's coming from place where infection was known to exist. but rom people who would come from places where infection would afteerwards pc discovered The registration even as IL had been kept up would empower the city authorities to locate any man who might come from points where infec- tfon might be discovered. Other regu- lations in addition to the registration were necessary. It was of itself in- sufficient. For one thing 1t should De unlawful for any man to get on the train except at the passenger station. Moreover, a more effective quarantine couId he secured if the city would enl- ploy an active and able man to take charge of the quarantine, work out It's details and stand responsible for its success.
 The Gunter minority report was then nut on it's passage and lost by vote of to 9. The majority report was then adopted.

Paris, Aug. 21.-Ohicials, both gov ernmental and diplomatic, apparently are preparing to lend every assistance to avert the failure of the peace nego- tiations at Portsmouth. Premier Rou- vier has suspended his vacation in Switzerland for the purpose of attend ing a special cabinet council Thursday next.
 Mir. Mccormick. the American Am bassador. will return from Carlsbad Wednesday for the purpose of being ready to exercise any friendly infiu- ences in his power. N. Jusserand. the French Ambassador: at Washington, who is spending his vacation in the country, will also return to Paris in the middle of the week
 According to the Foreign Office Pre- mier Rou .1er's return has no direct connection with the peace negotiations However, it will afford him an oppor. tunity to consider the situation at ar opportune moment as 1t is the expecta- tlon that the crisis will be prolonged beyond tomorrow while the plenipoten. tiaries communicate with their respec- tive governments regarding their ina. biliLy to/agree.

 Quiet elections are the rule in Mont gomery, but anything quieter than the election of yesterday would belong in the class of a funeral.

Berlin, Aug. 21.-There has been decided weakening of the confidence felt by government officials and mem bers of the diplomatic corps that the negotiations at Portsmouth would re- suit fin a peace agreement.
 The worst symptom, as 1t Is looked at here, Is that President Roosevelt should have found 1t necessary to again take action. It Is pointed out that if the negotiations were proceeding smoothly toward the desired end, the President would not have interposed and that he has done so Is considered an indication of acute tension. One of the belligerents. 1t Is said. Invited the President to intervene. Whatever the President may have done. however. is likely to have been strongly supported by the German government should out side support forward the matter

 Philadelphia. Aug. 21.-The regular Republican organization took steps looking to the purging o6 assessors 8 lists of alleged bogus names.
 Mayor Weaver, in his crusade for good municipal government, recently orderad thorough canvass of the city to determine accurately the number of voters in each precinct. The canvas was conducted by the police and other city employees under the direction of the department of public safety. and at its conclusion, Director Potter of the de. partment announced that 60.OOO hcti- tious names had been discovered on the assessors list. This charge has been denied ythe organization leaders. who admit that fraud might have been prae- ticed in a few precincts, but declare there never has been any wholesale padding of the lists.

 Little or nothing is obtainable here regarding the possible disposition of the question relating to Sakhalin.
 Interest has been manifested lately in the attitude of the Japanese people, and 1t is recognized in some quarters that the Japanese Government and plenipotentiaries may have to shape their course to meet and satisfy the demands voiced by the Japanese public. There ia reason to believe that the idea that Japan might not be able to find money to continue the war has not been considered here as a serious weakness of the Japanese position.

BRITAIN NOT ACTING.
President Roosevelt Did Not Call on .-. King Edward.

 London, Aug. 21.-The Associated Press was informed at the Foreign Off, flee today that President Roosevelt has not requested the British government to make representations to Japan on the question of peace.
 The Foreign Office thinks 1t would be impertinent for the British government to request Japan to modify her de- mands. The government believes that these demands are moderate and that Japan should not be deprived of the fruits of her victory. The Foreign Of- flee further said 1t did not believe that Japan would modify the terms put for ward at the opening of the conference.
 Official reports received by the gov ernment from Russia take a gloomy view of the situation. The members of the British cabinet are divided, some taking the hopeful view and others be- lieving that all hope of peace has been dissipated. @.. s :~. @. ---.

K.Sch Dincumnea Fever.

Chicago, Aug. 2le-General Passenger Agent Katch of the Illinois Central Railroad returned today from Memphis where he went to investigate conditions personally and arrange for shifts in train service necessitated by the ouar- antines.
 '"The people of the South" said he. have been thoroughly awakened to the importance of stricter sanitation laws. While there has been exaggeration re- garding the number of cases and the fatalities, still the fact that there Is yellow fever in the South is not denied but when 1t Is considered that this Is oniy the second mild epidemic in twen- ty-five years in a district that formerly experienced the plague regularly every year, it Is evidence that the South Is conquering the disease.
 '"The fact that the mosquito theory Is now accepted by the medical profes- sion has made and will make methods of prevention easier. After the pres ent scare is over the people will take on renewed life and it Is pretty safe to say that there will not be another ept- demic for some time. The way busi- ness has been lnterfered with has made the people of that part of the country realize that drastic measures must be adopted to prevent a recurrence"

Two More Cases Discovered In Missouri
 Town.
 Gregory, Mo, Aug. 21.--Three eases of yellow fever have developed here within the past twenty-four hours. All are Italians. One victim has died and the two other cases discovered this morning are said to be very low.
 The three infected Italians with four others of the same nationality were brought up the river to Gregory re- gently from Greenville, Miss, and em- ployed at. track work by the Burling- ton Railroad. ....
 Yesterday one of the men, taken sud denly i'll, was reported dying. and when physicians called. promptly reached the conclusion that the patient was suf- fering from genuine yellow fever. He was isolated, but died within few hours. Today two more of the Italians were found to have become infected with the disease also. They were tso' lated, as were the four other Italians brought from Mississippi. Excitement is intense and much indignation IS ex- pressed that the Italians were permit ted to slip through the quarantine lines'

by s%ubtracting from the mount paid
the count the eight per cont for
collections, and the one-siXth going

The object of the ables is to show
the sums derived by the city and the
school fund for the year of 1904 I'M
der the present ordinance as regards
the licensing of saloons, gambling ia
bles. etc. and then to compare this
with the sums that would have been
received during the same year, by
reducing the direct rate of taxation
in the city by five mills. increasing
the rate of taxation in the city fer
the school fund by three mills, provi-
e the ordinance now before the
city council had been in effect for
that year.
The net result shows that the city
direct tax could be reduced by tive
per cent. yet the ven of the

~$1,149.O9.
