CHINESE GOVERNMENT MAKING NO EFFORT TO END BOYCOTT ON AMERICAN GOODS. Lt iy ‘Washington, Aug. 11.—Consul Gen- eral Rodgers, at Shanghai, has cabled the department of state that the Chi- nese chamber of commerce at that place is powerless to stop the boycott against Americans and = American products and that the Chinese stu- dents really control the situation. The Chinese officials are inactive in the matter. Mr. Rodgers adds that all of our interests are seriously affected and other nationalities at Shanghai are becoming apprehensive that the boycott movement extend to them. The state department officials say that they can do nothing at present to ameliorate the situation, which al- ready has been brought to the atten- tion of the Chinese government by Minister Rockhill, and it is probable that only the successful negotiation of a treaty more liberal in terms in the matter of the admission of Chi- nese merchants and students to the United States will serve to check the anti-American moyement. O ADMITS IT IS RETALIATION. s \ Wu Ting Fang Discusses Chmese Boy- cott on Amerlca Pekmg, Aug. 11—Wu ng Fang, formerly Chmese mxmster at Wash- ton and now vice presig_ent of the board oF Iorex;p afians, in an inter- view, said that the & Tsllng regulations for the exclusion of Chindse Trom the Uxfltgd Statss were unsatisfactory from ,kht'j Chinese standpoi..t and hence it Was desired that they sbonld be modified By the new convention® The Chinese, -§¢ 8aid, agreed to the exclusion of cogliés and this point presented no dificulty, but the exist- ing regulations pressed with severigy upon other classes. He instanced the cases of merchants, travelers for pleasure, students and others, who, while nominally admissible to the TUnited States, were forced to undergo examinations which, though possibly necessary, were generally rendered very objectionable on account.of the manner in which the regulations were enforced. Mr. Wu expressed himself as great- ly regretting the Chinese boycott of American goods and steamship and insurance companies, as it might estrange the good will of Americans, which he highly prized. Apparently, however, he said, the Chinese classes most concerned, considering that the prospects for the solution of the diffi- culties arising from the application of the exclusion act were remote, de- cided on the boycott as the only means of ventilating the question. WIFE RETAINS HER NERVE. Loops the Loop After Husband Sus- tains Serious Injury. Helena, Mont., Aug. 11.—Tom- But- ler, the bicycle rider known as *“Volo,” who jumps the gap during a circus performance, failed to do the trick here and fell to the ground. He was unconscious for half an hour. The physicians say they fear he was in- ternally injured and will die. His wife loops the loop in an automobile and she followed with her turn imme- diately after the accident to her hus- band.

Include Evacuation of Manchuria and Immense Indemnity. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 11.—Eijiro Takasugi, professor of English at the Imperial university of Tokio, in an in- terview following a lengthy conference with Mr. Sato, who has been the spokesman so far fer the Japanese peace commission, said that Japan’s terms, in his opinion, would include the immediate evacuation of Man- churia, the cession of the island of Sakhalin and an indemnity of $1,000,- 000,000. Vladivostck also will be de- manded. The indemnity, Mr. Taka- sugi said, might be reduced if peace can be brought about in no other way. Mr. Takasugi concluded: “The Portsmouth conference will &nd in a treaty of peace.” Avxiety at St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, Aug. \ 11.—Public sentiment in St. Petersburg shows signs of changing to a pessimistic tone.

BERS OF THE ZIEGLER ARC- i TIC EXPEDITION. | CUT OFF FROM WORLD TWO YEARS VESSEL CRUSHED IN THE ICE AND HER COAL AND PRO- VISIONS LOST. Honningsvaag, Norway, Aug. 11.— The Arctic steamer Terra Nova, which went to the relief of the Fiala-Ziegler polar expedition, has rescued Anthony Fiala and all the others connected with the expedition with the excep- tion of one Norwegian seaman, who died from natural causes. The ship America, which took out the expedi- tion, was crushed in the ice early in the winter of 1903-4 and lost with @ large part of her coal and provisions, The thirty-seven members of the ex- pedition who returned to safety are =1l in good hea.ltb. despite thelr priva. tions and trymg exp'é“fewfl%e}j prolonged imprisonment in the Arctic, the expedition having been severed from all communication with the out- side world since July, 1903. Anthony Fiala of Brooklyn, N. Y., the leader or the expedition, in g brief statement sByST e gmntE TR TR “The rescue was most timely. By ny order the America wintered fin Neplitz bay, where early in the wih- ter of 1903-4 the ship was crished in the ice afd hecamé a total loss, to- géther with big qiiantities of caeml and provisions. Supplies of stores left at Franz Josef Land, by various relief parties saved us very serious priva- tions. “ “Three attempts to reach a high latitude failed. The scientific work, however, as planned was successfully carried out by Willlam J. Peters of the United States geological survey. . Ouz rescue was dtie to the splendid eflorts of William S. Champ (secre- tary of the late William Zeigler), commanding the relief expedition, who, owing to the terrible weather, failed to reach us last year and to the untiring zeal of Captain Kjeldsen and his Norwegian officers and crew, who for six weeks persistently forced their way through solid floes of ice and finally reached us. “An abundance of stores had been left on the Franz Josef Land archi- pelago by the expedition, so that we did not suffer serious difficulties on that score.” GIVEN A ROUSING WELCOME. President Roosevelt Addresses Miners at Wilkesbarre, Pa. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 11.—Presi- dent Roosevelt arrived here at 2:58 p. m.

New York, Aug. 11.—Back to Italy, rich from the profits of hand organ grinding, Villa Mazachia and his wife will sail on the earliest steamer leav- ing New York for Italian ports. The pair were arrested during the day and warned off the streets for playing without a license. The wife showed Magistrate Wahle in the Jef- ferson Market court a bankbook con- taining a $7,000 account and said that this was the.proceeds of hand organ grinding and this amount would make them rich in Ital Only One Person’ Injured. Des Moines, Aug. 11.—The Golden State limited, the Rock Island west- bound Colorado train, was ditched one mile west of Columbus Junction.. Only one man was injured, Charles Ackerman of Chicago, who was badly bruised by the falling of a chair ecar. Spreading of rails is given as the cause. Depositors Will Lose Nothing. Denver, Aug. 11.—H. M. Beatty, as- signee of the Western State bank, which was closed Wednesday owing depositors over $600,000. has fur- nished bonds in the sum of $1,200,000.

SLIGHT DECREASE (N DEATH RATE SMALLER PERCENTAGE OF FA- TALITIES RESULT OF SCIEN- TIFIC TREATMENT. New Orleans, Aug. 11.—The report of new cases in New Orleans up to noon showed the same number for the morning hours as announced the pre- vious day. The new cases continue to be reported almost entirely from the district south of Cana}l street, which is the original source 6! infeation. It is understood that quarantme regula- tions generally -will be relaxed as soon as conditions in New Orleans show g betterment, but the reports of the past three days de not tend ta increase’ the hope that the 'restric. tiops will be m&dified for some time, An epcouraging feature of tho sltya- for gradual but steady de- cline in the death rate.

Small F’eb‘cefitnge o Fatal)tiés Result of Scisntific Tréatment, New Orleans, Atig. 11-~The an- nouncement of sixty-three new cases of yellow fever in the precéaing twen- ty-four hours has made little Impfes- sion on the puhlic in view of the small number of deaths, people generaily ex- pecting for some days there will be a large quota of unreported cases turn- ing up. The death rate for some time has beeti steadily declining, showing the results of efficient scien- tific treatment. At the beginning it exceeded 25 per cent; but now has dropped to 17. In 187§ throughout the epidemic it was about 29 per €ent. 1t is taken for granted, therefore, fhat there has been a material decline in the virulency of the disease, the heavy death rate at first being due to courted death by their refusal to sum- mon doctors, or if they did by their refusal to follow the directions given them. Bon Ami, Patterson and other points where * there is fever have asked for doctors and nurses and the authorities will make every effort to furnish them. Both doctors and nurses are to be sent to Patterson, where there is a perfect nest of fever, al- though thus far of a mild type. As- sistance has already been forwarded to Bon Ami. The Patterson cases are all among Italians, but it has not yet been possible to trace their origin. Three additional surgeons arrived during the day to juin the staff of Surgeon White. White now has enough surgeons here to keep in touch with every section of the clty. L werle e PRESIDENT SENBS MESSAGE.

The Kansas delegation, headed by Colonel S. J. Mundy, has left for home.

JAPS PRESENT TERMS CONDITIONS OF PEACE IN THE FAR EAST NOW IN HANDS OF RUSSIAN ENVOYS. DOCUMENT NOT YET MADE PUBLIC RUSSIANS WILL STUDY THE _ QUESTION AND REPLY AT 1 EARLIEST MOMENT. Portsmouth, N. H. Aug. 11—The Jepanese have handed the Russians the conditions of peace in writing, The presents#on of the terms came at the very. end of the morning seg« 5}99‘ Baron Komura himself handed the.momentous document, in duplicate Frsnch and Russian, to M. Witte, %8 thrust the papers in hls inside ’pocket and the session was declm‘ec adjouthed, 7 After adjournment the tollnwing elal statement was made by M. Koros sevetz, on behalf of the Russian plenb patentlarlas. . - “In ing of Aug. 10 the que.- mfi?&:fi%efi was regulated 40 thet there will be no more difficultied on that subject. ~After this the Japs~ nese plenipotentiaries handed to the "7 sian fl—mlpefintlafles will study the qpestinn and will as seen as possible glve th answer in writing.

Witté produced a diplomatic note addressed to the Japanese plenipotentiaries im connection with- their, failure to pree Sent their credentials at Wednesday’s meeting. What the contents of this note are cannot yet be learned, but there is 2 hasis for the belief that M, Witte in this note took occasion give expression to the surprise which he undoubtedly felt that the Japanese plenipotentiaries, after having fromy the outset of the preliminary negotias tiations laid so much stress on the necessity of examining credentials be« fore the first step was taken, should at the first meeting have failed to bring with them full official letters, It was the understanding of the Ruse sian envoys that Baron Komur# would deciine to even open' negotia- tions of the most informal charactér unless he had satisfied himself of the validity of the full powers of M. Witte. Historical precedents are quoted in the note to show the irreg« ularity of Wednesday’s proceedings. The purpose of the Russian note was to make the permanent record com« | plete and make it show clearly the attitude of the plenipotentiaries from the bfiimmngf the conference. ¥ _-7 Witte Will Re)ect Terms., iy That M. Witte will decline to accept the Japanese conditions as a whole fnay be regarded as 4 ioxegone 6ot clusion and in his reply he is expects euo point out clearly what points ke can and what peints he cannot acs cept. It will be the Japanese rejoin- der to this reply which will probably determine the fate of the negotiations, Japan will then come forward with her minimum and if Russia rejects it the “Washington conference” wil have ended in failure. Among the Russian and Japanese delegates at the Wentworth hotel there ig a great deal of discussion about the acquiescence of M. Witte in the suggestion of Baron Komura to exclude delegates from the conference, Baron Komura raised a specific objec- tion to the presence of Professor de Martens, whom M. Witte and Baron Rosen desired to have in attendance in an advisory capacity and for the charting of land and ocean bound- Rries. Thé morning session lasted axv.cfly two hours and was of a most friendly character. No afternoon sessien of the peace conference was held. DOMESTIC TROUBLE THE CAUSE: Portage (Wis.)
