The Infection Seems to Spread Out
side of New Orleans--OutIook
Not So Promising.
81 NEW CASES YESTERDAY.
WEDNESDAYS RECORD.
Practically No Change.

New Orleans, La. Aug. 24.-Little
variation from the steady improve
ment of the past week marked yes
terday's numerical record OF the yell
low fever situation. The variation
was in the nature of Improvement,
for with the light death list, there is
assurance that the fever has at pres
ent no tendency to assume yirulent
form.
Some soldiers stationed at the
United States barracks are restless
under their enforced quarantine.
Communication with the city has
been absolutely prevented and the
appearance of fever in St. Bernard
makes it probable no communication
with that parish will be allowed. Not
case of fsyer has appeared in the
barracks and the soldiers are consid-
cred 10 be absolutely in no danger.
A freshly infected spot in St Ber-
nard parish was announced yester-
day. II is Terre Aux Boeufs. Health
officer Meraux found five genuine
cases and three suspicious cases.

THERE is NOW VERY SMALL HOPE

Adjourned Until Saturday.

on that day. Indications from Peter
hof seem TO indicate firmer deter
mination to yield neither territory
or indemnity.
The long instruction received
Tuesday night, while not a reply to
the communication of President
Roosevelt given to White. was of a
character almost completely to de-
strov the hope that il will be possible
for Witte to satisfy the Japanese de
mand. WHITE himself has been quot
ed as saying he would not IL ordered
to do SO by the emperor sign a
treaty involving the payment of a
copeck
But it must be borne in mind that
White IN the negotiations is not a
free agent. He represents his emper-
or. II he were absolutely free this
conference would not fail. He
would make peace. He sympathizes
with the solution offered by the pres
ident. but his hands are tied and un-
less he receives an imperial com
mand. he cannot move.
Black as the prospect appears to-
night. however. failure OF the nego-
iiaiions is not certain. The Rus
sian camp is pessimistic to a man,
but they all know the quick and
startling changes of front that some
times take place at Peterhof And
there are factors in the situation
which might effect one of those sud
den and inexplicable changes in the
emporor's attitude which have fro
quently astonished Russia.
Private advlces from st. Peters
burg say that sentiment there. in
Moscow and in large centers favors
acceptance OF the compromise. This
may mean much. But the real hope
still rests. with President Roosevelt.
He is resourceful He has made an
other move. He has sent Ambassador
Meyer direct TO the emperor and
they were together. according TO ad-
vices received here. for three hours
today.
Roosevelt himself may know more
about how the emperor feels than
Witte and be able TO act upon infor-
nation conveyed to him by his ana
bassador A report is industriously
circulated here that Emperor VIII
liam is responsible for the attitude
Of Emperor Nicholas and everything
is traced back to the meeting of the
two emperors on board the Hohen-
zollern in the Finnish Gulf. In sup
port OF this 1t is positively stated
that after the interview Whites in
strucions were made stronger and
more unyielding.

VIII Endeayor TO Secure "a Match
With Fitzsimmons.

Louisville. Aug. 24.-Marvin Hart,
the worlds champion has gone to
Philadelphia, where he will endeavor
to secure match with Fitzsimmons.
The Cornishman has openly declared
that he wants to meet Marvellous
Marvin, and the chances are that his
wish will be gratified. Hart will not
engage in any fistic arguments, how
ever, until the latter part of next
month. He will then meet all com
ers and the chances are that he will
have several opponents before he
goes on with Gus Rubin.
The New York Sun states that Hart
has signed articles to meet Jack JEFF
fries, brother of the retired cham
pon. The friends of Hart in this
city, however, declare that such Is
not the case, and say that he will
probably have Fitzsimmons for his
first opponent.

Keokuk, Ia, Aug 24.-Dr. r. b.
Hitler, a member of the Missouri
state board of health. has confirm
ed the diagnosis of the attending
physician that the death of the
Greek. Andree Lambrellos, at Greg
DRY Sunday was due to yellow fe-
yer. The body was inferred with
chemicals and all possible means
adopted To prevent a spread of the
disease. The other men in the gang
with whom he worked have been iso-
lated under shotgun quarantine in
the woods one mile from Gregory
Notwithstanding the Associated
Press report sent out, there has been
but one case at Gregory. and that
resulted in death The other Greeks
are apparently in good health, but
no precautions are neglected Greg

definitely known that they have ec.

Officers Potter and Gourieux were
among the first TO discover the fire
and turn in an alarm. They passed
the building a short time before the
blaze broke out, and saw no evidence
of it then.
Many people were at Wallace park
when the fire broke out, and in n
short time the park was almost de-
serted except for the crowd at the
governors ball The street cars
could not carry the loads that lined
up to come to town. Many of the
soldiers walked to town.

Grand Rivers, KY, 25 miles from
Paducah. Travelling Engineer B. j..
Feeny saw the blaze and hurried to-

one of the stations that the block on
Broadway from 10th to the railroad
was burning and became in a still
greater hurry, as he boards along
there. He says he has no doubt that
the fire could be seen much further
than Grand Rivers.
Chief Wood and his men deserve
great credit for their work. They
stood the heat heroically and some
of the stationmen remained at their
posts when they were almost too
weak from the heat to stand mp.
Some of the soldiers from Camp
Yeiser also helped fight the fire. but
there was little that could be done
except keep the flames from spread

ways. The adversaries faced each

White the compromise proposition

gested

followed the lines outlined in these
dispatches. L offered to withdraw

Russia of Japan's bill for the cost of

the adjournment was to give each
side an opportunity to consult its
government for the last time.
The outlook Is black, many believe
II was never so black as now. The
Japanese are not talking. Indeed, to-
night they appear more taclturn and
more resolute than ever. The only
possible line of further Japanese
concession is considered to lie in the
diminution of the amount OF pur-
chase money demanded for the north
half OF Sakhalin. The decision rests.

Much Havoc Wrought by Storm
at Camp Yeiser This Morning.
Governor Beckiiam and STAFF Arriv,
and Were Cordially Wclcom-
ed Last Night.
FIRST REGIMENT TO LEAVE

a heavy wind and rain storm
struck Camp Yeiser" about o'clock
this morning doing considerable
damage, but none of any serious con-
sequence. Lightning also performed
pranks and scared the soldiers as
much as If the camp had been attack
ed by an enemy.
The storm started with light rain,
which increased until IT became a
downpour followed by a heavy wind
loud thunder and flashes of lightning.
The wind laid large number of
tents on the ground, nearly every
mess tent going down At genera,
headquarters, where pandemonium
reigned, two tents occupied by guests
fell. In one Col. Leonard and Col.
Sebree were sleeping and were caught
inside their tent when it succumbed
to the wind. Assistance was sent to
them any they were extracted from
their very uncomfortable position.
Col. Hindman's headquarters wers
hit by lightning but no damage re-
suited with the exception of a fuse
being blown out and the tent taking
fire. 1t was extinguished by the rain.
Two or three electric light poles were
struck but the damage was light.
At hospital headquarters Capt.
Meyers tent was blown down but
here wasn't anything damaged.
The rain drenched everything. The
signal service corps and a large squad
OF soldiers worked in the rain rear
ranging things They got soakins
wet Afterward they were sent TO the
hospital and each given a dose OF
| quinne to prevent them taking sick
The rain put the crematory out OF
business for a short time, but it was
going again as soon as it could be
drained.
All the horses were turned out OF
the CORA, which went down few
minutes later. The telephone lines
were so badly damaged that net q
phone was working after the storm.
The system was not repaired until
noon.
The camp has a natural drainage
and two hours after the rain the
grounds were practically dry.
Breakfast was delayed until 10
O'Clock. but It was finally served and
the boys ate heartily.
Morning Routine Suspended.
The morning routine was entirely
suspended, but if Il rains no more the
governors review will take place in
the baseball park promptly at $50.
This will conclude the work for the
First Regiment, as it leaves at s
o'clock tonight on a special train for
Louisville. Before leaving, however,
all soldiers tents will be taken down
in or6er to air them and the grounds.
