Russian Immigrant Dies of Disease at German Port. Hamburg, Sept. 1—One cholera case has been officially declared here. A Russian emigrant who arrived at the immigration station Aug. 28 died Tuesday of what at first was diag- nosed as inflammation of the lungs, pbut a microscopic examination of por- tions- of the body proved it to be an unmistakable case of cholera. Lansboro - on - the - Wasthe, Prussia, Sept. 1.—Two deaths from cholera have occurred among the rivermen in a village at the intersection of the Wasthe and the Netze. The provin- ciai governor arrived here on receipt of telegraphic information of the out- Lreak and is arranging rigid sanitary supervision. Danzig, Prussia, Sept. 1.—Three more cholera cases were reported dur- ing the day, two at Neu-Fahrwasser, of which one is dead, and one at Marienwerder, making twenty-three cases and seven deaths in all. DEATH LIST DECREASING. Only Four Victims of Yellow Fever in Twenty-four Hours. New Orleans, Sept. 1.—With only four deaths in the preceding twenty- four hours September, the worst month in fever epidemics, is ap- proached without apprehension. Occa- sional instances still occur of neglect to report cases, but generally the! physicians are living up to their agreement with the federal authori- ties. Dr. White has issued orders for com- pulsory fumigation. As is usual at this time of the year hunddreds of ! homes are unoccupied owing to the absence of residents. These are to be entered and put through a disinfect- ing treatment at once. Dr. White has also issued an order to his officers to reinspect foci after the cases have been removed in order that any new | | outbreak may he treated. ACCUSED OF STEALING $12,000.

SESSIONS ARE SECRET SWEDISH AND NORWEGIAN DEL- EGATES DISCUSSING DISSO- LUTION OF UNION, FIRST MEETING HELD AT KARLSTAD. PREMIERS OF THE TWO NATIONS SELECTED TO PRESIDE ON ALTERNATE DAYS. msaristad, Sweden, Sept. 1.—The first meeting of the Swedish and Nor- weglan delegates appointed to con- sider the terms of the dissolution of the union of Sweden and Norway was held here during the day. It was agrged, that each delegation should elect its own chairman. The Swedes selected Premier Christian Lundeberg and the Norwegians Premier Michel- sen, Fach will preside on alternate days. It was decided. that the confer- ences shall be secret. Chicago, Sept. 1.—Dr. P. Walden- strom, one of the leading figures in Swedish pelitics, close friend of King Oscar, member of the riksdag for twenty years and a leader in religious {reform in Scandinavian countries, has reached Chicago for a brief stay. In an interview Dr. Waldenstrom assert- ed that Norway was drifting with ap- varent certainty toward the formation of a republic. While Norway, he de- clared, may get a king his personal view was that the republicans as against the friends of the monarchiai idea were gaining ground. MOST POWERFUL VESSEL. Battleship Vermont Launched at Fore River, Mass, Quincy, Mass., Sept. 1.—The new 16,000-ton battleship Vermont, built for the United States government by the Iore River Shipbuilding company, was successfully launched during the day. Hollowing the launching a luncheon was given at which informal speeches were made. The battieship Vermont is one of the largest and most powerful of the ships of war that has been construct- ed for the United States navy. She is of 16,000 tons burden, with a length of 450 feet and extreme hreadth of 76 She will be re- quired to steam 18 knots an hour for four consecutive hours. The Vermont was designed as a flagship. The arrangement of quar- ters provides accommodations for a flag officer, a chief of staff, 19 ward room officers, 10 junior officers, 10 warrant officers and not fewer than 7€7 men, including 60 marines. TAFT LEAVES MANILA. Will 8ail From Hongkong for Home on Sept. 6. Washington, Sept. 1.—Captain Mec- Intyre, acting chief of the insular bu- reau of the.war department, has re- ceived a cable message from Colonel Edwards saying that Secretary Taft and party left Manila during the day on the transport Logan bound for Hongkong and that all are well, in- cluding Mrs. Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, who has recovered from the effects of injuries received by being thrown from a carriage in Manila a few weeks ago and rejoined the party to return to the United States. Colonel Ldwards states that Secre- tary Taft and 2ll the members of the party who are not going to malke the trip to Peking will take passage -on the steamer Korea at Hongkong at ncon, Sept. 6, and will make a rapid trip to San Francisco, omitting a visit to Honolulu. ON A SECRET MISSION. Prominent Resident of Panama to it Roosevelt. New York, Sept. 1.—On what he said was a secret mission to see Pres- ident Roosevelt Micanor Obarrio, a prominent citizen of Panama, arrived in this city during the day on tihe steamer Havana from Colon. Mr. Obar- rio was one of the original junta which was instrumental in establish- ing the independence of Panama. He was minister of war and marine until Feb. 11, 1904, when he resigned, and does not now hold a public office. FROM SALT LAKE TO COAST. Contracts Let for Building the West- ern Pacific. San Francisco, Sept. 1.—The direc- tors of the Western Pacific railroad have awarded contracts for the build- ing of practically the entire line from Oakland to Salt Lake City. The names of the successful bidders as well as the details wnd terms of the contracts have not been made public. 1t is un- i derstood that the aggregate amount of the several contracts for construc- tlon is between $8,000,000 and $9,600, ¥ MUST SIGN TREATY BE- FORE JAPS CONSENT TO AN ARMISTICE DON'T WHISTLE TOO LOUD. Peace Not Yet Fully Assured, Says President Roosevelt. Oyster Bay, L. 1., Sept. 1.—Peacs in the Far East is not yet a certainty, according to officlals here. “Whistle softly, we are getting into the thin timber, but we’are not yet out of the woods.” This admonition represents accu- rately President Roosevelt’s view of the situation at Portsmouth. Peace is in sight, but yet is not an accom- plished fact. Profoundly as he is gratified at the results already achieved by the pleni- potentiaries the president realizes fully that the most important work remains yet to be done. . Until that is accomplished it is scarcely the part of wisdom, he thinks, to do more than ‘“whistle softly.” REMAIN CLOSED FOR A TIME. Yellow Fever Conditions Prevent Col- feges Reopening. Cincinnati, ' Sept. 1.—The various colieges throughout the Southwest which are under the control or super- vision of the Freedman’s Aid and Southern Iducational” society of the Methodist church will not be reopened until normal conditions are restored in that section, according to a decision reached by the executive board at its regular meeting in this city. The de- cisfon affects only those institations which are situated in the quarantine and yellow fever districts. St. Petersburg, Sept. 1.—The gen eral tone of the press in discussing peace is one of resignation. The No- voe Vremya is a noteworthy excep- tion. The editor, M. Souvorin, refuses to believe in the solidarity of peace and contends that it is simply a stage towards a new struggle between Rus- sia and Japan. The Novoe Vremya’s articie displays further irritation to- wards President Roosevelt for his me- diation, which, the paper considers, was “regrettable, inopportune and even disastrous for Russia.” ; The Syn Ontechestva says: “After a shameful war Russia could certainly lay no claim to an honorable peace. She should congratulate her- self on the cessation of the war, the continuing of which would have cost immeasurable greater sacrifices.” Other radical papers, while criticis- ing the peace terms, express pleasure at the concldsion of the war, which, they hope, will be followed by a con- certed effort at internal development. BLAMED FOR FATAL CRASH. Contractor and Architect of Albany Building Arrested. Albany, N. Y. Sept. 1.—John Dwyer, Jr., contractor, and Clark Dag- gett, . his superintending architect, have been placed under arrest on charges of manslaughter and criminal negligence in connection with the col- lapse on Aug. 8 of the central portion of the department store building of the John Myers company, which re- sulted in the death of thirteen and the injury of upward of forty others. MONTANA MINERS ADOPT SCALE. No Radical Change Made From Last Year’s Agreement. Helena, Mont.,, Sept. 1.—Montana coal mine operators and miners, after a three days’ conference here, reached an agreement upon the scale to be paid for one year after Oct. 1, when the presemt agreement expires. The conference found some difficulty in agreeing upon certain points, but eventually reached common ground. The new scale will not be materially changed from the present BOYCOTT DYING OUT. Chinese Merchants Principal in the Movement. ‘Washington, Sept. 1.—Consul Gen- eral Rogers, at Shanghai, has cabled the state department that the situa- tion there as to the anti-American| boycott is improving. The officials of the state department have come to the conclusion that the boycott has practically exhausted itself, the Chi- nese merchants finding that they themselves were the principal losers. Losers BASEBALL SCORES. National League. At Boston, 3; Chicago, 1 American League. At Detroit, 5; New York, 3. At St. Louis, ¢; Boston, 4. At Cleveland, 2; Philadelphia, ‘6. At Chicago, 1; Washington, 1—Aff- teen innings; called at dark. American Association. At Kansas City, 3; Louisville, 6. At Milwaukee, 1; Indianapolis, 5. _At St. Paul, 5; Portsmouth, Sept. 1—The armistice signed by the Russo-Japanese pleni- potentiaries is to take effect after the signing of the treaty of peace. The delay in the cessation of hostilities is due to the refusal of the Japanese to consent {0 an earlier time. Tokio, Sept. 1.—The public contin- ues to be without information regard- ing the agreement of the peace en- veys at Portsmouth. The division ot the island of Sakhalin and the waiv- ing of indemnity are not yet publicly known. Despite the lack of information many people are convinced that the Japanese government has made sub- stantial concessions and already are criticising and objecting. Unless the terms prove to be better than they were anticipated it is certain that the -| compact will prove unpopular and be bitterly assailed by the press and by the diet;> which is expected to meet in special session shortly. The rad- ical eclements are asserting that cab- inet changes are inevitable. The mass of the public is not moved. There unquestionably is a feeling of great relief that hostilities have ended and that the men of the great army will return hgghe, be disbanded and enter the walks of peace. This feeling, however, is without public manifesta- tions. There has been no processions, no display of flags or other marks of popular jollification. The Capital City continues normally quiet and reports from throughout the empire indicate a similar condi- tion. WORKING ON THE TREATY. Russo-Japanese Peace Agreement As- suming Shape., Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 1.—In American fashion the summer guests at the Wentworth hotel have assumed that the peace negotiations are prac- tieally cver and they are leaving by every train. The plenipotentiaries, however, realize there are many im- portant details yet to be decided and are remaining in their rooms receiv- ing and sending cablegrams. M. de Martens and Mr. Dennison are for the time the main workers. They are framing the treaty and are calling to their assistance from time to time those delegates whose advice they need. M. de Martens, after working con- tinuously all the morning, has prac- tically drafted the whole treaty. ac- cording to the Russian interpretation of the agreement reached by the pleni- potentiaries. His discussions with Mr. Dennison, the Japanese legal ad- viger, were chiefly on the form and on the interpretation to be given to certain° words in the French text of ‘the treaty. TUp to noon neither the Russian nor the Japanese mission had received any information regarding an armistice. [’l‘he conclusion of a formal armistice is, however, not so important or urgent as to create alarm if a day or two elapses before it is proclaimed. As a matter of fact a tacit understanding has existed ever since both countries accepted President Roosevelt’s invitar tion to send plervipotentiaries to Ports- mouth tkat ther« should be no general engagement un:il the result of the meeting was known. Both Oyama and Linevitch were ordered not to give battle without direct and specific in- structions from their home govern- ments. FIRE BEYOND CONTROL. Destroyed. San Bernardino, Cal., Sept. 1.—A: forest fire which has burned since last Monday in the mountains about ten yond the control of the fighters and is spreading in two directions. Ranger Tortensen hurried to this city | and called for volunteers. Twenty citizens from here went up immediately and more are to follow. Three tons of provisions were carried to the locality for the original fight- ers, composed of rangers and campers, who are reported to be exhausted. A large area already has been burned over. ' WIPED OUT BY FIRE. Planing Mills, Lumber, Cars and Resi- dences Burned. . Newport, Wash, Sept. 1.—Fire which started in the planing mills of the White Pine Lumber company at Priest River, Ida., destroyed the entire plant, with 8,000,000 feet of Iumber, sleven box cars on the Great Northern tracks, together with about twenty- five residences, comprising the north- ern portion, or half of the town.
