senate convened Mr.. Morgan present.

constitution, which was ordered print.
ed as public document. On motion
of Mr.. Cullom the senate, at IL: 10,
went into executive session.
The Santo Domingo treaty was
taken up soon after the doors were
closed. Mr.. Teller made an earnest
plea for consideration of the treaty
with open doors so that the position
of senator's for and against the meas
ure might be perfectly understood.
The motion to open the doors for the
discussion Of the treaty was voted
down without division. Mr. Teller
then moved the adoption of the rec
ommendation of the foreign relations
committee that stenOgrapher be pres
ent to record the debate on the treaty
for the senate. This was defeated on
a roll call.

"All our forces have advanced north,

MALARIA FEARED MOST.
yellow Fever Causing Little Trouble
on the lsthmus.


Washington, March 14-Secretary
Taft, after a brief talk with the presi-
dent said it was a mistaken report
that yellow fever was on the increase
in the American zone on the isthmus
of Panama.
''In fact" said the secretary, ''it is
not yellow fever that will give us the
most trouble on the isthmus, but ma
laria, which is very prevalent. Even
tually, while there are some cases of
yellow fever in the American zone, we
shall be able to stamp out that disease
1t will be hard fight, however, to re-
duce the trouble arising from malaria" !"
Authorities of the marine hospital
service are doing everything in their
power to combat both yellow fever and
malaria in Panama. In the city of
Panama fumigation of buildings is be-
ing carried on on an extensive scale
and the utmost care is being exercised
to prevent the introduction of yellow
fever through vessels reaching Pan
anna from South American coasts,
where the fever is known to exist Sys-
tematic attacks also are being made
on the breeding places of mosquitoes,
with the idea of destroying the insects
which carry the germs of the fever.
Efforts are being made, too, to i'm
prove the drinking water and to fur
nish a supply to the people which
shall be free from germs or impurities
of all kinds.

RUSSIAN PUBLIC FOR PEACE
DECISION OF GOVERNMENT TO
CONTINUE THE WAR MEETS
LITTLE APPROVAL.

st. Petersburg, March 14.-The all
nouncement made in the name of the
government, in the face of the over
whelming disaster suffered by General
kuropatkin, that fresh army would
be raised and the war proceed and the
naughty attitude assumed by Japan
may after all be simply a sparring for
position which is the prelude of peace.
So far as the public here is concerned
peace is the only thing talked of, the
sentiment being that If diplomacy can
now bring the warning parties into
negotiation peace will follow. Many
diplomats believe that terms accept
able to both are only possible on the
basis, not of ordinary peace but more
in the nature of an alliance which
would distinctly define and guarantee
the position of the respective powers
in the Far East in the future 1t is
certain, however, that Russia as yet
has made no move. Here
Confusion Still Reigns
in the higher circles and the emperor
has not yet decided that he must yield.
Nevertheless the peace party has been
greatly strengthened and is now TAX
ing the position that to attempt to con-
tiuue the war will only court addi-
tional complications and danger at
home, with the chances OF success for
the Russian arms on the field of battle
too remote to be worthy of considera-
tion. But some of the emperor's ad-
yisers insist that the government is
irreVocably committed to the war, that
it would be harder to stop than to go
on and that If the war Is indefinitely
prolonged the financial resources of
Japan are sure to be exhausted before
Rlssia's, while Russia's prestige
abroad is irreparably gone II she now
bends the knee. The situation Is not
dissimilar to that which prevailed at
the end of the Crimean war, when
Nicholas |. took a sudden decision to
conclude peace on the best terms OBJ
tainable. The effect on the Internal
situation of either alternative will
probably govern the final decision.
