Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 12.—The Associated Press learns that the chief feature of the Russian reply to_the Japanese peace terms, to be submit- .| ted by M. Witte to Baron Komura at the next eonference, will be an agree- ment to accept all except two of the conditions as bases for decision. The two points to which a non possumus will be returned are the indemnity and the cession of the island of Sak- halin, St. Petersburg, Aug. 12.—-::very step in -the negotiations at Ports- mouth is fully reported here. The reply of Ambassador Witte will neither be an acceptance nor a dec- lination of . the conditions which Baron Komura has presented, but will be an invitation to the Japanese pleni- potentiaries piecenieal. Some of the terms are satisfactory & Russia and others must be modified or eliminated if there is to be an agrement at ghis time. A high government official declared flatly that the terms as they stood were entirely inadmissible and un- acceptable, but that-he was inclined to believe peace was not &ntirely out of the question. JAPANESE TERMS..OF PEAGE | CONDITIONS TO BE MET BEFORE HOSTILITIES IN THE FAR .. EAST CAN END. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 12.—The terms of peace offered Russia by Japan are said to be substantially as follows: Reimbursement for the expense of prosecuting the war. ' The cession of the island of Sak- halin, which is the only Russian ter- ritory proper to be taken by the Japa- nese. The cession of' the Russian leases to the Liaotung peninsula, comprising Port Arthur and Dalny. The evacuation of the entire prov- ince of Manchuria. The retrocession to China of any privilecges Russia may have in the province and the recognition by Rus- sia of the prlnclple of Hay'* “open " door.” The cession to Japan of the. Lhinese i\ Eastern railway- below Harbin, the main line through Northern Man- sian property. The recoguition of the Japanese pro- tectorate over Korea. The granting of fishing rights to Japan in the waters of the Siberian to the Behring sea. The relinquishment to Japan of the Russian warships interned in neutral ports. Finally, a limitation upon the'naval strength of Russia in Far Eastern waters. AWAITING RUSSIAN REPLY. Pause 'in Peace Negotiations at Ports- mouth, N. H. v Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 12.—With the Japanese terms under considera- tion by the emperor at'St. Petersburg and the Russian plenipotentiaries i awaiting the word of his majesty be- | fore completing the draft of their re- £ponse a pause has come in the. pro- ceedings of the peace-conference. The taliyhos and automobiles. which ) | reached the entrance of the Went- worth -hotel at the usual hour were sent back to their quarters. The heat his colleagues remained closely 'in their rooms. ' folded their arms and await the Rus- sian response. M. Witte was at work early and with his secretaries was busily engaged m"declphermg tele- grams from St. Peiersburg.

Amoflx littoral northward from Viadivostok has severed all Dail the Russians it s already apparént that the Japanese terms, especially those asking Russia to foot the bill for the cost of the war, «ession of terri- tory and to put a limitation on their nayal forces in the Far ‘East, are con- sidered Absolutely Unentertainabl‘e. On these points the Russian answer is sure to_be a non pdssimus. Nevery theless, this will not end negotia- tions. M. Witte is sincerely desirous of making peace and the Russian re- ply plainly stating ‘what points can and what yoints cannot be accepted as a basis of negotiation will leave the way. epen for further proposals and countar proposals. The Russians would doubtless like tq proceed by a process of elimina- tion, agreeing to some and rejecting or ‘making counter pr'opbsals to oth- ers. But the Japanese are 'not ex- pécted to agree to enter on the diplo- matic game of give and take until after the general principles are ac- cepted. /Their rejoinder to the Russian reply" is| expected to be practically an ulti- matum—a stal®ment of their irreduci- ble minimum, which they will ask the Russians to take or leave. As far as the cost of the war is concerned, while the Japanese have mentioned no sum, it is known that they esti-- mate the cost to date at about $650, 000,000. The advantage from this point of view of not naming a fixed sum is that it makes clear that the principle of money compensation which they have adopted is the cost of the war, which-will continue at the rate of abat $1,000,000 a day as long as the war continues. Among the Russian newspaper cor- respondents the Japanese terms were to consider the termsiregarded as impossible and the opin- ion was expressed that they would he received with resentment by the Rus- sian “eople COLE.

New York, Aug. 12—Secretary of State Elihu Root, who recently en- tered President Roosevelt’s cabinet, connection with & number of financial institutions of which he was formerly a director. Mr. Root recently resigned from the boards of the Morton Trust company, the National Bank of Commerce, the Continental Fire Insurance company, the Title Guarantee and Trust com- pany and Jeveral, other corporations. ‘| This action was ‘taken in order that he might assume the ‘secretaryship of state without being in any way allied with corporate interests. Mr. Root had been a director of some of these institutions for a number of years, in- cluding the period when he was sec- retary of war. Inguiry among his for- mer fellow directors failed to reveal Mr. Root’s reason for differentiating between the two positions in the cab- inet so far as they afiected his per- sonal bnsiness affairs.

" New Orleans, Aug. 12—The fever situation shows no6 material change, though sixty-eight new cases in the preceding twenty-four hours is high water mark during the visitation. The The company | federal surgeons are not in the.least surprised at the number and Dr. ‘White expects a large report daily for some time yet. He believes that the tals in the last few days indicate that the physicians are falling in line and reporting their cases and he ex- pects as_a result that the ‘extraor- begin to show much earlier might otherwise be expected. As long as the deaths are kept down the au- thorities will be free from alarm over the situation. nurses sent from here are at Bon Ami and confidence is being restored there. Conditions are not as bad as they ‘were expected to be’ found. have been no new cases and the two cases under treatment have been segregated and screened. The colored population of Franklin, set a fine example. They have held a mass meeting and volunteered to clean the whole town under the super- vision of a white foreman. There is no fever in Alabama or Mississippi, the suspicious sickness reported at two points in the latter state being diagnosed as malaria. There are fifty cases under treatment in Louisiana outside of New, Orleans. TYPHOID FEVER PREVALENT. New York City Fears Severe Siege of 5 Disease. New York, Aug. 12.—Fear that this city will have a severe siege of ty- phoid fever which might not be checked until cold weather sets in has caused the health department to,issue a statement as to the nature of the disease and rules for checking its spread.. According to the medical office of the department there were during tde year up t6 the beginning of the pres- ent month 1,496 cases of typhoid and 305 deaths in Greater New York. In proportion to the population there | have been 1nore/cases and more deaths in Brooklyn than in any other bor- ough, which Commissioner Daglington attributes largely to the tontaminat- ing of the water supply of that bor- ough, although it has been stated th‘at on examination of the city water In Bay Ridge'and Bath Beach nq typhoid germs had been found. More than 100 cases of typhoid are being treated in hospitals in the southern section of Brooklyn. A house to house cahvass for cases of typhoid is being made in one ward, it having been asserted that the authorities are greatly hindered in their efforts to stamp out typhoid by the failure of doctors to report cases. LINER AT MERCY OF STORM. Hamburg-American Steamer Has Ter- rible Experience. New York, Aug. 12.—For twenty- four hours the Hamburg-American liner Graf Waldersee drifted at the mercy of a hurricane which struck her during the transatlantic voyage which the steamship finished during the day in safety. On arrival at their pier, only two hours late, the passen- gers held a reception to thank Cap- tain Krech for bringing them fsafely through the greatest storm experi- enced in the history of the Graf Wal- dersee and probably one of the worst ever faced by an Atlantic liner. The storm began on the morning of Aug. 2. ‘A few hours later waves were rolling over the ship, all passen- gers were locked beneath decks and bags of oil were hung over the ship’s sides for thirty-six hours as a protec- tion. During = twenty-four. hours the waves ran so high that the steering gear of the liner awas inadequate to keep her in her. course and the shxp practically drifted with the storm. Some lifeboats and deck superstruc- ture were carried overboard by the waves. - - ‘MILLIONAIRE AUTOIST DIES. His Machine Hits Wagon and Turns . Somersault.

St. Paul, Aug. 12.—The state raile road and warehouse commission ha# taken a hand in the telegraphers’ strike. ‘A complaint has been filed with the commission by a resident om the Great Northern line, who alleged that sixty-two stations of that road’ are closed. The commission at oncer asked ofiicials of the road to appear and show cause why these stationg~ should not be opened. Similar orders have been issued to the Northern Pa+ cific, against which another com- plaint has been lodged. The rafle roads are maintaining é strict silence regarding the strike ¥ and intimate | that they do not wish to consider it further as a public matter. Rumors that the strike will soon be settled” through - an agreement mu« tually satisfactory to the railroads and the telegraphers were current during the day among railroad memw occupying a neutral position. It was said that ‘definite progress in that di- rection might be effected in twelve hours. Perham Replies to Hill. President Perham, has issued the following reply to James J. Hill's tele« grams regarding the strike: “Mr. Hill's assertion that the telege raphers quit without notice does not seem consistent with the fact that im - the same breath he admits that we' notified the general manager after conferences that lasted over a’ year that we would go to the limit to get justice,and that we actually appealed to him (J. J. Hill) before calling the strike and waited two days for hin§ to answer. While we waited the gem« eral manager ordered a lockout and that had the effect of forcing our hands. If the lockout had not beem started the strike would not have emt« sued. . “The strike vote was' sent out May, 30, 1905, and seventeen spies, ‘08¢ tensibly working " as telegraphers, promptly sent in a copy to the gen¢ eral manager the day it was received. “The company had ample warning that there might be trouble if justice was not forthcoming for the men.” i i OFFICIAL RUSSIAN OPINION. ] Japanese Peace Terms as Presented ‘Impossible of Acceptance.. St. Petersburg, Aug. 12.—The news« paper oflices were informed of the Japanese peace terms through the As< sociated Press dispatches from Portge mouth and they rapidly became known. At th® embassies and among the officials of - the various depart«: ments the terms were declared to b excessive and impossible of accept- ance if they constituted the Japanese ultimatum, but generally they werd regarded merely as a basis on which to negotiate further. ° It was argued at the embassies and. in other quarters that a settlement might still be possible if certain fea. tures, such as the relinquishment of the interned warships and the limita~ tion of Russian naval power in the Far East, were open to possible modi« fication. HILL GETS NEW LINE. St. Paul Magnate Said to Control Wis« r consin Central. Chicago, Aug. 12.—By the recent purchase of large blocks of Wisconsin Central stock, it is said, the owners of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads now own-a majority of the securities ‘and that important changes in the management and Op+ eration will result. The motive for the purchase is sald to lie in the fact that since the Great Northern and Northern Pacific pur« chased the Burlington the volume of through traffic has increased to such an extent that it, cannot be handled without another outlet.
