Bay Frant Near New York Glty Con taminated by Sewage. New York, Aug. 14—Stringent measures are being taken by the health department to stamp out ty- phoid fever, which has become almost epldemic in some quarters of the southern section of Brooklyn. It is said that bathing in Gravesend bay from Fort Hamilton to Ulmer Park, including Bath Beach and Benson- hurst, will be prohibited unless there Is an immediate decrease in the num- ber of new fever cases. If such an order is found necessary the police will be called upon to aid the depart- ment of health and all' bathhouses will be closed and all beaches pa- trolled. The sanitary inspectors de- clare that sewage has contaminated the entire bay front at the places men- tioned. For the week just ended the health department reports 72 deaths from typhoid in Greater New York, 44 of which were in Brooklyn, as compared with 50 deaths in July a year ago, 25 of which were in Brooklyn. Three Mine Workgrs Killed. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 14—Thomas ‘Waltkins, a miner, and two Hungarian Jaborers were killed and John Lovett, another miner, was badly crushed by a fall of coal in the Truesdale colliery of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Coal company#’ The men were working together when without warning a large quantity of loose coal fell in on them. NO CHANGE IN SITUATION USUAL NUMBER OF NEW CASES OF YELLOW FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS. New Orleans, Aug. 14.—In spite of the large number of cases of fever reported during the past three or four days hope continues to run high here. It is due to the fact that there are practical evidences that the crusade against the mosquito is telling. More than two weeks have now elapsed since the death or curing of cases at a number of points above Canal street —+and thers has been Ho reappearance of the fever where those cases exist- ed nor in the immediate neighbor- hood. That is taken to indicate the effectiveness of screening and disin- fection which in the one instance has prevented stegomyias from biting pa- tients within the first three days of illness and in the other has worked the destruction of all mosquitoes in the infected houses and neighbor- hoods. Although there was no change ‘in the general fever situation the noon reports showed a slight increase over the same hours of the previous day in cases and deaths. August is a critical month when the fever appears early in the summer, yet the small death rate the past week is regarded as justifying a re- cent interview by Dr. John Guiteras of the Marine hospital service that the present visitation will not reach the proportions of any previous epidemic. The fever continues to be confined to New Orleans and Louisiana, no new cases being reported in Alabama or Mississippi. SAVED BY HIS AIDE-DE-CAMP. Attempt to Assassinate President of Argentine Republic. Washington, Aug. 14. — Minister Beaupre, at Buenos Ayres, cables the state department that a laborer named Blanas Vicello aftempted to assas- sinate President Manuel Quintana as the president’s carriage was passing Reitro park. The assailant rushed from behind a monument with a re- volver in his hand, but the president’s aide-de-camp threw himself from the carriage on the assailant, overpow- ered him and prevented him from shooting. The man was arrested. He is supposed to be insane. HAY EXPLODES IN BARN. Largest Stable in Winona County, Minn., Destroyed. Winona, Minn., Aug. 14—Spontane- ous combustion in hay that had been put up too green was the cause of Theodore Nilles of the town of Rol- lingston losing his big barn and part of the contents. Flames were seen to shoot up from the roof of the barn. Neighbors who saw it hurried over and saved the stock in the barm, but all the other contents were destroyed. All this season’s crop of hay and over a hundred bushels of oats were burned. The barn was the largest in ‘Winona county. Philadelphia, Aug. 14. — William Henry Myers, a chauffeur, was during the day convicted of involuntary man- slaughter and sentenced te eighteen months’ imprisonment for running down and Kkilling five-year-old Eldon Sarver. The jury was out all night. FEE TRADE FAVORED co GRESSIONAL MEMBERS OF ‘JT'AFT PARTY ADMIT OPIN- IONS ARE CHANGED. NITY ON TOBACCO AND SUGAR OPJONENTS OF PENDING BILLS EE NO DANGER TO AMER- ICAN PRODUCTS. i e Minila, Aug. 14—Now that Secre- tary'Taft and party have been in the tslaids for .over a week a consensus of oiinion of the majority of its mem- bers on the free admission of Philip- ping products to the markets of the Unfed States has been obtained and it cn be stated without gear of con- tra¢iction that the attitude of the leazefls of the opposition to the policy of 4 reduction of the Dingley tariff on sughr and tobacco has materially chapged since their arrival here. Rep- reseéntative E. J. Hill of Connecticut, one|of the leaders in the house of the opposition to the further reduction of the tariff on tobacco, declares himself in favor of the free admission of cigars and tobacco from the islands intg the United States. Senator F. T. Dubois, leader of the opposition to the Cooper bill in the senate, has also stated that he will not oppose free trade, while other members, erstwhile of the opposition party, have con- vinced themselves that sugar and to- baceo from the islands will in nowise menace like products of the United States. Representative Shirley of Ken- tucky, an American tobacco growing digirict, says he will favor the free admission of island tobacco, Dbeing convinced that the cigars from there will not compeote to any appreciable extent with those manufactured in America. It can be'stated upon no les:s authority than Representative C. nor of Ohio that the Cooper blll, which was favorably reported | upC by ihe house commiitee at the Tal valslocongress, Wil now: be amendcd, providing for free trade in- stead of the proposed reduction of 25 per cent in the prevailing Dingley rates. Representative Grosvenor says: “An amendment will be offered by Representative Payne of New York, chairman of the committee on ways and means, providing for the free ad- mission of Philippine products and the outlook for its passage is very favorable.” <A = DINED IN HOUSE OF COMMONS. Officers of French Fleet Guests of British Parliament. London, Aug. 14—The series of fes- tivities in London, Portsmouth and Cowes in henor of the visit of the French ficet was wound up during the afternoon by a luncheon in the house of commons given by members of both houses to Vice Admiral Caillard and some 130 of his officers. About 500 sat down to the luncheon, while from 300 to 400 ladies occupied the galleries. The toasts proposed and honored bore testimony of the warmth of the entente cordiale which had re- ceived such a fitting illustration by the interchange of visits of the fleets at Brest and Portsmouth. Premier Balfour, many members of the cabinet and most of the leaders of the political parties were among the hosts and their guests were con- ducted to the bangueting hall to the strains: of the “Marseillaise,” never before heard within its walls. WOULD END CHINESE BOYCOTT. Pacific Coast Merchants Ask That Cause Be Removed. San Francisco, Aug. 14—Members of the Merchants’ Exchange and of other commercial bodies of this city have started a movement to overcome the boycott that has been placed on American goods by Chinese merchants in many of the cities of China. Resolutions have been passed peti- tioning President Roosevelt to ascer- tain through the proper channels the reasons for the present boycott and to take prompt steps to have it re- moved sc that the trade interests of our country may not suffer. BADLY BRUISED AND JARRED. Wife of Senator Dubois Hurt in Run- away at Manila. Manila, Aug. 14—DMrs. Dubois, wife of Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, who, with the senator, is a member of Secretary Taft's party, was thrown from a carriage during the day and was taken in an ambulance to a hos- pital, where she was unconscious for three hours.

Shanghai, Aug. 14—The report is current here that President Roosevelt has instructed Minister Rockhill to warn the Chinese government that the United States government will in- sist on the full observance of article 15 of the Tientsin treaty of 1858. Article 15 of the Tientsin treaty provides that “at each of the ports open to commerce eitizens of the Unit- ed States shall be permitted to import from abroad and sell, purchase and export all merchandise of which the importation or exportation is not pro- hibited by the laws of the empire.” The state department some days ago directed the attention of Minister Rockhill to this particular article, in view of the published reports that it was the intention of those managing the boycott against American goods to interfere with the landing of Amer- ican goods and to prevent stevedores from removing American goods from vessels in Chinese ports. It is supposed at the department that the Chinese government has al- ready taken action on Minister Rock- hill’s communication, Strikers Assassinate Manager. Warsaw, Russian Poland, Aug. 14— The long list of murders resulting from the strikes was increased during the morning by the assassination of the manager of the Lilproprau iron ‘works, who was shot down at his resi- dence by strikers. ULTIMATUM TO STRIKERS NORTHERN PACIFIC OPERATORS ORDERED TO RETURN TO WORK AT ONCE. .St. Paul, Aug. 14.—The Northern Pacific Railroad company has sent an ultimatum to its striking telegraphers ordering them to return to work im- mediately if they desire their old places, as they will not be taken back in the future. In readjusting its force the Northern Pacific will give first ‘Tank to operators who did not quit, second place to mew mien;and third place teo strikers 'who relursn. Nopj of the strikers will comply with the' ultimatum, ‘gccording to President Perham of the Order of Railway Tel- egraphers.. All are standing firm. Mr. Perham says that he expects a long fight in view of the recent utter- ance of James J. Hill and the fact that no overtures towards a settle- ment have been made by either road. The state railroad and warehouse commigsion has given the. Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads un- til Tuesday to have all their stations open. 'The roads promised to do this. The promise was made by Superin- tendent Slade of the Great Northern and General Manager Horn of the Northern Pacific. It was stated that the Northern Pacific road had 92 per cent of its 211 offices in Minnesota open already and that the Great Northern had 96 per cent of its 226 offices open. BATTLESHIP KANSAS LAUNCHED. Water From John Brown's Springs Used Instead of Wine. Philadelphia, Aug. 14—The battle- ship Kansas, the largest vessel ever built in the East, was launched at 12:47 p. m. at the yard of the New York Shipbuilding company in Cam- den, N. J. The launching wzs wit- nessed by Governor Hoch of sas, whose daughter, Anna Hoch, acted as sponsor for the ship. Along with the governor was a party of thirty Kan- sans. An unusual feature of the launching was the fact that the vessel was christened with water from John Brown’s springs, Camden county, Kan., instead of the customary bottle of champagne. This was the first time that water instead of wine has been used in launching a vessel in this vicinity. Governor Hoch of Kansas made the suggestion and he made the announcement after the Ilaunching that the christening bottle contained only water. The Kansas is a sister ship of the Vermont, now being built at the yards of the Fore River Ship and Engine Building company, Quincy, Mass. She ! will have the same armament as the battleship Minnesota, launched several months ago at Newport News. JALLS THROUGH ICE CREVASSE. Jamestown (N. D.) Woman oned in Glacier. Helena, Mont., Aug. 14.—Imprisoned for two hours im an ice tomb in the Sperry glacier, north of Lake McDon- ald, in Northern Montana, after fall- ing through a crevasse that had been weakened by the extremely hot weather, was the terrible experience of Mrs. A. M. Burt of Jamestown, N. D. She was a member of a party of sightseers from the. Montana biolog- ical station at Big Fork, who were Impris- crossing the glacier. Mrs. Burt was rescued by repes after hard work. TEN CENTS PER WEEK WAR MAY BE RESUMED JAPANESE AND RUSSIAN ENVOYS EXPECTED TO BREAK OFF 8 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. UARSHAL OYAMA READY TO FIGHT ONLY AWAITS SIGNAL OF RUP- TURE TO ATTACK GENERAL i LINEVITCH. B " Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 14.—So pessimistic is the feeling among those in the confidence of both sides that the prediction is made that the next meeting of the Russo-Japanese peace conference may be the last and that the history of the “Washington confer- ence” would be abruptly concluded. If the negotiations are broken off Oyama will immediately give battle to Linevitch. The Associated Press learns from an unimpeachable source that Oyama’s plans are perfected, his armies are ready and he only awaits the signal that a rupture has occurred to launch his attack. St. Petersburg, Aug. 14.—Dispatches froen Portsmouth make it clear that unless there is a very substantial abatement of the demands of the Japanese plenipotentiaries, which is unlikely, the peace conference will come to a sudden conclusion. The two nations are so wide apart that all hope of agreement has been prac- tically ab&gfdoned here. It is prob- able that the next session will end in a final adjournment and that M. Witte may sail for Europe very shortly. RUSSIA'S REPLY TO JAPAN REFUSES TO DISCUSS QUESTION OF INDEMNITY OR CESSION b OF BAKHALIN, - 0 - 7 ¢ Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 14.—The Russian reply to the Japanese terms delivered by M. Witte to Baron Ko- mura declines to discuss two points— indemnity and cession of Sakhalin. Others it accepts and still others. it accepts conditionally. The reply is long, taking up the con- | ditions geriatim and setting forth the reasons and arguments for the de: cision reached in each case. The ar- gument against the payment of an in- based on the general theory that Rus- sia is not responsible for the war and that as Russia is still prepared to continue the struggle and has sought this meeting not as a vanquished country begging for terms, but be- cause she sincerely desires peace if honorable peace is possible. There- fore, she could neither agree to foot Japan’s bill for war expenses nor cede territory. The argument can be fairly stated as follows: Russia is not vanquished. She has suffered reverses, but she is not obliged to accept peace at any cost. She desires peace now as she always has, even before Japan opened hostili- ties. That Russia did not court or want war was evident by the fact that she was not prepared for it either in a military, naval or administrative sense. Hussia could possibly be prop- erly accused of only one thing—of having given the occasion which Japan was seeking and for which Japan had been preparing for ten years to make war upon her. The responsibility for the war, therefore, falls on Japan and not on Russia. .- MINE BUILDINGS DESTROYED. Forest Fires Raging in Mountains Near Nelson, B. C. Nelson, B. C., Aug. 14—Forest fires are raging in the low lying woods along the south bank of the Kootenay river, three miles below Nelson, and for a stretch of four miles the hillside is aflame. =~ The many scattered ranches are in grave danger.
