Japanese Cabinet in Session

Toxic, August 28.-10:3 so a. m-The
conference of the cabinet officers an6
elder statesmen which began here
early this morning continues at this
hour.
The public here remains uninformed
regarding the latest developments al
Portsmouth, but seems convinced thai
peace is hopeless The market re
tiected this sentiment. After the open
ing today prices sharply declined
Shares of the exchange itself declined
20 yen, the heaviest fall on the list
A failure of the peace negotiations
was generally regretted, but the press
and all other expression indicate wide
spread preference for a continuation
of the war rather than the acceptance
of unsatisfactory terms. Underlying
this popular attitude is deep-rooteC
confidence that Field Marshal Oyama
will defeat General Linevitch anC
take Harbin and that the japanese
will completely overrun the provinces
probably greatly lowering the cost o.
the operations after the main Russian
army has decided to continue the wal
for an extended neriod.

New Orleans, August 28.-The fifth
week of the fight against yellow fever
began today with continuance of ia
vorable conditions and wit treason for
hope that the crisis has passed, the
fact that there are only 1919 cases un-
der treatment and many of the lightest
character being especially significant.
In the 81 cases in the preceding four
hours only five were Italians and there
were only three cases reported from
the originally infected Italian quar-
ter. The authorities have felt that
when the sickness is practically
stamped out of this district it will be
comparatively easy to control it else
where and there is encouragement to
the Sunday report, the fatalities con-
tinuing largely among the foreign ele-
ment.
Surgeon Guiteras went to Patterson
today and Surgeon Corput started on
tour of the surrounding country The
marine hospital service has now a man
in touch with every infected point out
side Of New Orleans, Surgeon Won
Ezdorf, having started for Leeville,
from which the information continues
to be vague owing to it's isolation.
TOday's reports bring advices of
general quarantine against NatcheZ, all
the Mississippi towns cutting off CON-
munication with that CITY, which has
not been difficult in view of the fact
that it is not on a main line of rail
road.
V1dalia, La, which is on the opposite
side of the river, has suspended fer
ry communication. Many Natchez peo-
pie are anxious to leave, but they have
no means of getting out of town.
Iberia parish, through which the
Southedn Pacific runs, has fresh
right, and has cut off all passenger
communication with the rest of the
state The railroad is disposed to obey
the regulation, assuming that as Ibe-
ria will suffer most, an early abro2a-
ton of it will be asked.
Alexandria is free of fever, and ad-
vices from there say all signs indi-
cate an early frost, Tree leaves have
been falling for several days, and the
wild geese have been passing over the
city bound south. Reports of low tenn
peratures come from various points in
the southwestern section of the state.
The weather here was unseasonably
cool this morning. While there has
been no sickness at Jackson barracks,
DR.. Ames, of the United States army,
has had Levi E. Folk, private OF
tn e1rst class, hospital corps, ordered
here to be stationed at the barracks.
Private Folk is one of the men who
were used in the experiments of the
Reed commission in Cuba, and is re.
garded as the best yellow fever nurses
in the government service.

the Chinese boycott on American piece
goods is about to be lifted. Cabling

this information is to the effect that

nese merchants of Shanghai dealing
in piece goods are strongly opposing
the boycott and taking steps which
Minister Rockhill believes are likely
to break it, so far as piece goods are

Newspaper Wants Great Battle.

St Petersburg, August 23.-The
Sviet todGy says:
Tbs Japanese conditions for peace
would only be acceptable II japanese
fleet was threatening. st. Petersburg
and Japanese army was occupying
Moscow. Russia will not bow to the
Japanese yoke to fulfill President
Roosevelt's desire to guarantee the
American creditors of Japan and tc
cover himself with glory as peace
maker. Japan needing peace, seeks il
through the intermediary of her friend
President Roosevelt, and makes exarbi
tant demands, while the president is
striving to exact the consent of Rus
sia. After long and fruitless negoti
ations it would seem that we are on
the eve of what Russia has long de
sired-a great battle between General
Linevitch and Field Marshal Oyama.

RUSS PAPER ATTACKS PRECEDENT
The Japanese Proposition to Russia in
Regard to SakhaIin Island Seems To
Be Misunderstood at St. Petersburg.
News From Toxic.

Portsmouth, N. H., August 28.-The
Associated Press has definite knoWl
edge that several days ago President
Roosevelt was authorized on behalf OF
Japan to waive all claim for indemnity
or reimbursement for the cost of the
war and to cede back to Russia the
northern half of Sakhalin island, leav
ing redemption" price Of the same
to the arbitration of mixed commits
sion. This statement was transmit
ted to the Russian emperor through
the American ambassador at ST. Pc.
tersburg. AS Associated Press tele
gram announced that the czar's reply
was Partially responsive"
There is reason to believe that this
proposition on behalf of Japan was not
clearly understood at Peterhoff, but
was supposed to be revival of the
effort of Japan to secure an indemnity
under the guise of purchase money for
the fraction OF Sakhalin.
1t is believed the conference which
was held last evening by MesSrS. Witte
and Takahira was for the purpose OF
clearing up the situation and 1t is not
now improbable that following the
precedent of it's ally, Great Britain,
Japan will agree to settle the whole
question of the redemption price of
Sakhalin as the dogger bank troubles
were adjusted The Japanese con
tention is that Sakhalin island is de-
iacto Japanese property, and that
Russia has no moons at it's command
for it's recovery 1t is understood
that NJ. Witte has accepted this view
in principle and expressed the judg.
ment that Russia should pay some,
thing in the nature of a redemption
fund 1t is believed that the Toxic
council which is in session this morn
ing is considering this phase of the
question.
1t is not true that the adjournment
which was agreed to last night until
Tuesday afternoon was made at the
suggestion of President Roosevelt,
There is reason for believing that he
knew nothing whatever OF it, but that
the adjournment was by mutual agree.

Washington, August 2S.-Former AS

Of the department of agriculture and
indicted with Peckham and Isaacs OF
New York, charged with conspiracy to
defraud the government by premature
ly diyulg.ng the department cotton
crop reports, surl endcred to the Unit
ed States marshal today and later
appeared before Justice Stafford and
gave bond in the sum of $4,000. the
amount agreed upon last Saturday be-
fore his arrival in this city. He was
taken to the marshal's office by his
attorneys, Messrs. Lester and Price
who also appeared with him in the
court room.
District Attorney Beach made an eff
fort to increase the bond of $4,000
but .the effort was opposed by Mr.
Lester, and did not succeed In NOV
ing for an increase Mr. Beach made
an affidavit reciting the failure OF
Holmes to appear Saturday as per the
agreement between himself and Attor
ney Lester, and charged Mr.. Lester
with aiding Holmes in evading the
execution Of writ for the latter's ar
rest Saturday. He also said that
facts had come to light showing that
Holmes had realized $4,000 last De
cember, that he had recently sold a
mine in the state of Washington fol-
$4,000, and had large sums of cash in
bank and safety vaults. He also
said that the offense charged against
Holmes is not extraditable and he
urged that all these facts justified a
large bond. In reply Mr.. Lester
characterized as "gratuitouS" the
statements that he had assisted his
client in avoiding arrest and related
in detail all the perigrinations of Mr.
Holmes since he fell under suspicion
He said that his client had at diff
ferent times since then been near the
Canadian boarder and could easily
have escaped to another country if he
had so desired.
He also repeated that Holmes fail,
ure to present himself on Saturday
was due to delay in getting a letter
to Holmes. The fact was brought
out that Holmes was in Wildwood
N. j., from Thursday to Saturday OF
last week.

Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been tablished the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get q
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham' Vegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
ham, Lynn. Mass, for special advice.
When medicine has been successful
in restoring to health so many women,
