of permanent road improvement, in
Shawnee county, in a limited way. The
board has not had unlimited funds to
use but by making but a small levy
for the purpose, and a levy so small
that it has not been felt, sufficient
funds have been raised for the building
of a macadam road to Rochester ceme-
terry, on the north side of the Kansas
river, the macadamizing of Sixth street
past Gaze park and the lateral road to
the Catholic cemetery, and now the
macadamizing of the Burlingane road
south of town, connecting with the Blu
chanan street pavement.
During the next few years the board
will use all available funds for the TAX
ing up Of county bonds as they come
due. When the county Indebtedness is
Iessened in this manner the board then
proposes to use more money for road
Improvement, which can then be done
without increasing the total county tax,
and in fact may be done extensively
with a lower tax rate than is assessed
at present.
When the board has funds available
for extensive road improvement the
plan is to construct roads from Topeka
to Richiand, Auburn, Dover, Wakarusa,
to Topeka and then to connect these
roads in the country with lateral roads
which will furnish the county with a
belt line" read and roads into Topeka.
If the experiments which are to be
carried on with oil prove that it can be
used successfully in producing a good
wearing surface it may be used extern
sively in the Improvement of Shawnee
county roads.

OIL ON The ROADS
It May Be Tried on Sixth Ave-
nue. Macadam.
Expected to Prevent Dust and
Make Good Surface.
COMMISSIONERS AGREE
Experiment viii Be Made by
Private Citizens.
Much Road Improvement Is
Planned for the Future.

Negotiations are under way for ex-
perfments to be made on the country
roads in Shawnee county with crude
oil as a surfacer. M. a. Low and
Frank P MacLennan are in commu-
nteation with parties in San Diego
and other places where crude oil is
used on the roads with view OF de-
termining the best means of applying
the oil to obtain the desired results.
The fact that Kansas has an un-
limited supply of crude oil, for which
there is not a sufficient demand to
keep the storage tanks in the oil fields
empty, and that oil has been used
with excellent results in road making
in other sections of the country, have
led Mr.. Low and Mr.. MacLennan to
interest themselves in these proposed
experiments.
The county commissioners have
been doing some practical expert
menting with macadam for road
building during the past two or three
years, and they are very willing to
have experiments made which may be
of benefit to the county. The com
missiOners have consented to have
crude oil spread on the West Sixth
avenue macadam for a distance of
several rods to determine if such a
dressing viii lay the dust, which dur
ing hot dry weather is very deep on
the macadam road.
In San Diego. where Mr.. MacLennan
recently saw roads where oil was used
extensively, the soil is sandy and
somewhat like the soil found in the
bottom lands along the Kansas river,
especially on the north side. The ex-
periments may show that by spread
ing crude oil on these sandy roads
that a solid surface may be secured.

THE PRESIDENTS GUESTS
General Wood Calls to Talk Over
 Philippine Affairs.

Oyster Bay. L. l.. Aug. 23.-GeneraI and Mrs. Leonard Wood arrived here from Washington at 5:46 this evening and are the guests tonight of Presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt. The presi- dent had not seen General Wood since his arrival in this country from the Philippines, where he is the command ing officer of the American forces in the Moro archipelago. His return was induced by the necessity of undergo ing a surgical operation.
 While it is said that General Woods visit to the president is devoid of signifi- canoe and is of a purely personal na- ture. it is certain that the president desired to discuss with him the situ- ation in the Philippines not only as to the operations of the American army but as to the development of the is lands and their needs in the way of legislation.

LESS FEVER FIGURES
Indications Though Tint the Fight Will be PrOlOnged-Distressing Con- ditions Reported From Adjacent Parishes.

New Orleans. Aug. 23.-The official fever report up to p. m.: New cases. 53; total to date, 1856; deaths, 5; to- tai to date, 219; new fOci, 10; total. 352; under treatment, 312.
 Little variation from the steady inn provement of the past week marked to- days numerical record of the yellow fever situation. The quarantines have fortunately been put on In a season of summer dullness and if they are taken off when the trade becomes active the only inconvenience will come from ob- stluctions to the free movement of passenger traffic.
 Large quantities of rock salt have been purchased by the federal author itieS with a view to salting Stagnant gutters and pools. Imperfect drainage exists in many of the wards due to the fact that the drainage system has not yet been completed. The salt is ex- pected to destroy the pools as breed ing places for mosquitoes
 A freshly infected spot in St. Der nard parish was announced today. It is at TerreauX Boeufs, the parish seat. Health Officer MereauX found five gen. uine cases and three more suspicious The town and its vicinity were invaded by Italians after the fever appeared here and the infection is therefore traceable to New Orleans.
 The saddest reports of fever come from the small towns adjacent to New Orleans where in some instances the inhabitants are absolutely helpless be- cause of lack of medical attention and otherwise inadequate means to cope with fever.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 2S.-The Japanese pIenipotentiaries at the con cIusion of the afternoon session today of the peace conference, threw the cards upon the table It was dra- matic moment-thc moment to which all previous proceedings of the confer ence had led. The protocols involving the agreement upon eight of the twelve conditions originally presented by the Japanese had been signed. One side or the other must make a move, or the plenipotentiaries had reached d IartinS of the ways.
 The adversaries faced each other across the table. Of course, they we'll understood what would happen, but that in a way only made it more dra- matic. FigurativeIy. President Roose- welt suddenly entered the conference room. NJ Witte sat silent and the move in the great diplomatic game passed to Japan. BOran Komura, in a few words, explained that Japan in her great desire for peace was ready to make certain "mOdifications" Of the original articles in the hope that Rus sia could find it possible to accept them. He then presented in writing to Nj. Witte the compromise proposi- ton which President Roosevelt had suggested.
 It was concrete and specific. and it followed the lines outlined in these dispatches. It offered to withdraw ar dcle 9, providing for the payment by Russia of Japan's bill for the cost of the war. on condition that Russia would accept article ,, which provides for the cessiOn of the island of Sak- halin, so modified as to include an ar engagement for the re-purchase by Russia of the northern half of the isl and for 1900. 00O,O ven. In addition, it offered to withdraw entirely articles II and F Cthe surrender of interned vsrships and the limitation upon Rus sia's sea power in the far cast).
 IL was President RooseveIts com promise. and NJ. Witte knew it's con tents as well as Baron KOmura. The question of whether he was 'bluffing'' was put to the test. Without a mom- ents hesitation M. Witte explained that the modification proposed was merely sham, change of phraseoIo- Ey. an attempt to ask Rus sia to pay war tribute un- der another name He couldn't accept it. He told Baron Komura that Russia wanted peace. She had given proofs in accepting every article in volving issues upon which the war was fought. but she could fight, but money for tribue she would not pay not a kopeck. He asked Baron Komura to withdraw all demands for tribute
 And so the plenipotentiarie separat- ed. to meet again on Saturday, osten- sibly to permit NJ Witte to place in writing, as the rules of the conference require. his reply to the Japanese com promise proposition. In reality, the ad- journment over two days was to give
