WITTE INSTRUCTED TO BREAK OFE NEGOTIATIONS IF JAPS DEMAND MORE. NO INDEMNITY FOR THE CHINESE CLAIM FOR LOSSES SUSTAINED IN MANCHURIA WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. 8t. Petersburg, Aug. 2—The Russ, the Novoe Vremya and other represen- \tatives of the Russian press counsel 'patience for the brief interval before the meeting of the peace plenipoten- tiaries and dwell on the futility of at- tacking men of straw before it is defi- nitely known what terms the Japanese propose. The Russ says: “M. Witte has definite instructions as to what demands will be absolutely unacceptable and will know what course to adopt if such demands “are presented. We are ignorant of the Japanese proposals, but will know what they are in a few days. Mean- while let us wait.” Discussing the supposition that a combination of the powers might be formed to exert pressure for the modi- fication of extortionate Japanese de- mands M. Neratoff, the spokesman of the foreign cffice, declares that how- ever much such a proposal might be advantageous to other powers Russia never would be the mover of such a project, as it believes that all ques- tions cohnected with the settlement of the war should be decided directly be- tween the two countries interested. China, he said, had advanced no claim to compensation for losses sustained on account of Manchuria being the theater of war and no such- claim would be considered. Discussing the question of creden- tials M. Neratolf said M. Witte's pow- ers were greater than M. Witte him- self had stated and were equivalent to a full power of attorney. Neverthe- less, M. Witte, he said, had been in- structed as to maximum of conces- sions and it the Japanese demands ex- ceeded these there would be nothing to do but to break off the negotiations. | Japs Control Sakhalin Island. ‘Washington, Aug. 2—The Japanese legation has received a dispatch from Tokio saying that Lieutenant General Haraguchi proclaimed military admin- istration over Sakhalin island on July 30. EXTENDS TO NAGASAKIL | Chinese Boycott on Americans and American Goods. Washington, Aug. 2.—A cablegram was received at the state department during the day from American Consul Harris at Nagasaki, Japan, stating that ! the boycott against Americans and American products now prevailing at | Shanghai has extended to Nagasaki. This is the first indication of the spread of the movement into Japan, where it probably is beyond the reach of any repressive measures that might be exercised by the Chinese govern- ment over its own citizens. It is said at the state department, however, that this last development is not likely to be of importance because very little of the American trade at Nagasaki is in Chinese hands. | SOLICITS MILLIONS FOR NAVY. | —_ Dr. Hedin Asks American Swedes to Contribute to Fatherland. New York, Aug. 2.—Dr. Sven Hedin, the noted Swedish explorer, has writ- ten an open letter t0 Swedes in this country through the Nordstjernan, a weekly publication in this city. He asks them to aid their fatherland by raising a large sum of money—he men- tions $5,000,000—to strengthen the naval defense of Sweden. ‘What he thinks is needed more than anything else is a large torpedo fiotilla, which, by taking adv age of the peculiar formation of ithe Swedish coastline, with its thousands of bays filled with small islands, could keep any hostiie force away. Government Control of Insurance. Chicago, Aug. 2.—Government legis- lation to control life insurance com- panies is sought by the Iroquois club ‘'of Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 2.—Police have been | removed from the wagons of many firms that have been strikebound for four months. Correspondingly many union drivers were restored to their old places. The Employers’ associa- tion, following the determination of the Lumbermen’s association to rein- state the union teamsters in a body, has decided to lift the ban placed on all strikers a week ago.

More than 1,000 were sent back during July, as against 645 a year ago. The special boards of inquiry are working hard in order to prevent the undesirable immigrants from landing. Jilted Lover Kills Himself. Duluth, Aug. 2.—J. E. Bergston of Ellis, Wis., shot himself to death short- ly after midnight, just after parting with Ellen Samuelson,” who had re- fused to wed him.

Chicago, Aug. 2.—Chicago soon will have its own Scotland Yard. Chief of Police John M. Collins announces that in a few days he will establish a mur- der bureau under the tutelage of As- sistant Chief Schuettler. The assistant chief will have on his special 'staff eight of the best detectives in the city and will work in harmony with the state’s attorney’s office. : One object of the innovation is the gathering and holding of evidence. As soon as a murder or any other big crime is committed the “runners” from Schuettler’s office will be on the scene with a photographer and an artist. or a draftsman. Every bit of tangled evidence will be picked up, labeled and used by the detectives in working up the case and in its prose- cution in the criminal court.

The day’s reports of convalescents is very encouraging and it is becoming evident that with care- ful treatment the present visitation of the fever will be shorn of many of its terrors.

Dr. White says: “There is no possible way in which yellow fever may be transmitted other than by the mosquito and freight can+ not under any circumstances be infect- ed in this way, but only in so far asg it might become the residence of an in fected mosquito. It is not likely to bee come the residence of any kind of mosquito, much less the infected mos- quito, whose presence in business and manufacturing establishments would in the nature of things be a very re- mote contingency.” Rev. Dr. Beverly Warner has called attention to the fact that his agents are meeting with some opposition on the part of householders to oiling and screening.
