NEXT MOVE UP TO JAPS. The real struggle is only postponed. The main problems are no nearer solu tion than when the plenipotentiaries met The principal reason for opti mism lies in the fact that, confronted .with the absolufe refusal of the Rus sian reply to admit the discussion of either indemnity or the cession of the island bf Sokhalin, the Japanese pro posed to take up the consideration of the conditions seriatim. From this it j is assumed that the Japanese are pre pared to yield or have reason to be lieve a way will be found to overcome the objections of their adversaries when the crucial test comes. : An intimation comes from a high source that very strong outside influ ences are at work on both sides, and that for the moment the effort Ts to gain time.

The debate, iii Saturday's conference over the first condition-the recogni BAitoN* KoanrrtA SENIOn JATANES3 ENVOY. TEACE tion of Japan's "preponderating influ ence" over Korea, involving her right io control. the administration of the hermit kingdom, use the littoral for stragetic purposes, etc.,^-was of a re markable character. Indeed the-posi tion taken by Mr. Witte was sensa tional in the extreme. His atl'tude re veals plainly the Russian tactics. They propose to raise before ihe world tue spectre of the "yellow peril." Russia claims that Japan's present purpose is to get a foothold on the Asiatic con tinent from which to extend her influ ence and dominion. Mr. Witte made no objection, but he declared that the tfords "preponderat ing influence" did not adequately de scribe what Japan proposed to do, and he insisted that the language used should show Japan's true purpose which he contended was to make a Jap anese province of Korea. ; BASIS OF NEGOTIATION. ^:The cession of the.

Finally a limitation upon the naval strength of Russia in far Eastern waters. As a whole the terms are regarded as exceedingly hard by the Russians. In addition to the two principal condi tions, which cannot be accepted under Mr. Witte's instructions? those relating to the limiting of Russia's naval power in. the- far east and the granting of fishing rights upon the Russian lit toral are considered particularly of fensive to the amour propro of their country, and of such a humiliating character as to be inadmissible. For Station at Mobile.

The Catholic Total Abstinence Union . delegates transacted but little business this morning, find . tit hooft the ten thousand uniformed cadets a?d soldiers of tue two regiments of the order pa raded. This parade ended in time for the regiments to line the streets and keep back the great crowds/ Before the President's train came to a full stop a great shout went from the enor mous crowd assembled at the station, which increased into a roar ?s the President stepped briskly from the train. The President was met by the local reception committee, which in cluded Father Curran and John Mitch ell. Tii? sti-?ets" along the route from the station to the Susquehanna river, where the speakers' stand was erected, were lined with a solid mass of people. Many of them had been standing at favorite places for hours. The Presi dent's reception as he was rapidly driv en over the route was a tremendous one. The Prosidenj; appeared to be ex tremely pleased at the demonstration and kept bowing to the right and left, Tho crowd at the speakers' stand was so noisy that it took several minutes to quiet the enthusiasm and permit the exercise to begin. Those who spoke were President Roosevelt, Cardinal Gibbons, President Mitchell, Mayor Kirkdall and Father Curran. John Mitchell, in introducing the President, made a long defence of trade unionism. The President then'spoke as follows: "' 'PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. I am particularly .glad to speak to this audience of miner's ?iid their wives and children ,and especially to speak under the auspices of this great tem perance society. In our country the happiness of al Ithe rest Of our people depends most of all upon the welfare ? o fthe wage-worker and the welfare of the farmer. If we can secure the wel fare of these two classes we can be reasonably certain that the community as a whole will prosper. And we must never forget that the chief factor in securing the welfare alike of wage worker and of farmer, as of everybody else, must bc the man himself. The only effective way to help any body is to help him help, himself. There are exceptional times when, any one of us needs outside help, and then it should be given freely; but normally each one of us must depend upon his own exertions for his own success. Something can be done by wise legisla tion and by wise and honest adminis^ tratioh of the laws; ?tat^is^ something. ?U^be^nO?by^ourrac?on taken ?ni our;! collectivecapacity*' thTougb? foe ^-St?tell &?t??fre organization is managed with wisdom and integrity, with instance upon the rights of those benefited and yet with just regard for the rights of others But in the last analysl^raterj^e^ f^G^?f?e^?^????^t?TmM^R any . *\n'ssu*ccess must ever be the sum 4'lat man's own qualities, of his - jwledge, foresight, thrift and cour se. Whatever tends to increase his s?lf-respect, whatever tends to help him overcome the temptations with w_hiv.i all of us are surrounded, is of benefit, not only to him, but to the whole com munity. No one society can do more to help the wage-worker than such a temper ance society as that which I am now addressing. It is of incalculable con sequence to the man himself that he should be sober and temperate, and it Is of even more consequence to his wife and his children; for it is a hard and cruel fact that in this life of ours the sins of the man are often visited most heavily upon those whose welfare should be his one special care. THE DRUNKARD'S FAMILY. For^the drunkard, for the man who loses Iiis job because he cannot control or will not control his desire for li" or and for vicious pleasure, we har a feeling Of anger and contempt mix .J with our pfty; but for his unfortunate wife and little- ones we feel only pity, and that of the deepest and tenderst kind. Everything possible should be done to encourage the growth of that spirit of self-respect, self-restraint, self-re liance, which, if it only grows enough, is certain to make all those in whom it shows itself move steadily upward to ward the highest standard of American citizenship. It is a proud and respon sible privilege to be citizens of this great self-governing nation; and each of us needs to keep steadily before his jyes the fact that he .is wholly unfit to take part in the .work of governing others unless he can first govern him self. He must stand up manfully for nfs own .rights; he must respect the rightsx)f others; he must obey the law, and he must try to live up to those ,-ules of righteousness which are above and behind all laws. This applies just as much to the man af great, wealth as to the mau of small means; to the capitalist as to the wage worker. And as one practical point, let mc urge that in th eevent of any iificulty, especially if it is what is known as a labor trouble, both sides should show themselves willing to meet, willing to consult, and anxious ?ach to treat thc other reasonably and [airly, each to look at the other's side sf the case and to do the other justice, [f only this course could be generally followed; the chance of industrial dis ister would be minimized. *To Convey Special Government. Washington,. Special.-The cruiser Galveston, which arrived in Hampton Roads, Va., is taking on coal under hurry orders, preparatory to making, a trip to Santo Domingo.

THE FEVER STATUS Spread to Different Sections of the City Unexpected THE OUTLOOK GROWS ALARMING Official Record of New Cases Shows Only 50, But 19 More Were Turned in Just After the Closing Hour Deaths Rise to 12 and Will Con tinue to Increase Owing to Swollen List of Cases-Threats of Prosecu tion Against Physicians Dclinquent in Reporting Patients Have Good Results. New Orleans, Special.-Fallowing ls the official record up to 6 p. m. Sun day: New cases, 50. Total cases to date, 963. Deaths, 12. Total deaths t? date, 154. New foci, 14. Total foci to date, 202. Cases under treatment, 343. The heavy increase" ill the number of cases which began four or five d?ys ago is beginning to manifest itself in the death list, which can be expected to grow steadily for the -next few days. The number of-new cases Sunday seems small in comparison with Saturday's record, but. it is really nineteen short, as that number of cases were turned in* by an inspector just after the hour for closing the report. PROMINENT PEOPLE STRICKEN, "vitfong the Cases is Louis Cuculla, Jr., cashier of the Peopl?'S Bank, who resides far out on North Johnson street. Another case is Maurice Ken ny, ox-councilman and ex-member of the Legislature. Two of Kenny's daughters were stricken Sunday, Only five of the new foci are about Canal street. Surgeon White made a change in his organization by which h@ hopea to ac complish results much quicker. The fumigation and screening work was all done by a central "department under Doctor Gessn?r, Which Rent squads out on notification of cases by physicians. In the afternoon Dr. White assembled all of his subordinates in conference and decided to place the screening and fumigation work under the several dis trict headquarters. ; The present force will be divided up among the district surgeons, and Dr. Gessner will be given charge of one of the districts.

The great cause of the sprc ' as been the concealment of cases i the change of residence of people wno have been infected. Dozens of cases are on record which show conclusively that the people have moved away from a house where infection had, existed. This Dr. White proposes to stop,-and while no drastic measures are being taken, he is enforcing his authority. FORCING DOCTORS TO REPORT. The effectiveness of the district head quarters, which are making close in vestigations of the 17 districts, is re sponsible for a large number of the nev/ cases which have been reported during the last few days, and as the efficiency of that force increases, an increase in the number of cases daily can be ex pected. Physicians who have failed to report cases, that are discovered are given an opportunity to correct their emission, but a second offence will re sult in prosecution under the law. This has also brought out a large number of cases that were under cover. Patterson, which is the largest cen ter of infection outside of the city, re ports three new cases and the first death. The victim is a young lady. She dieu and this has naturally depressed the spirits of the people. They have had 39 cases there so far. They have opened an emergency hospital, which now has seven patients. At Bon Ami, in Calcasieu parish, there is only one case of yellow fever, with no new cases and no suspicious cases. An Ugly Infection Center. An exceedingly ugly center pr infec tion was unearthed in St. Charles' par ish by Dr. Corput, of the Marine Hos pital service. Two days ago he un earthed six cases on the Diamond plantation and he found two more cases on .that place and eleven cases on the reserve plantation, eleven miles further north, and one case on the Sarpy plantation. ?t is believed that over thirty Italians have left this group in the last week, but there is no trace cf them, nor will there be unless infection should develop among them at their places of refuge. Two of the cases on the Reserve plantation died while Dr. Corput was ther This plantation belongs to thc Gouchaux estate, and Dr. Godchaux has taken charge of the situation there and "will carry out the instructions of the Ma rine Hospital Service. 30 Cases in One Village. Five more cases have developed at Patterson, in St. Mary parish, making 30 cases in all there. While the infec tion was taken there by Italians from the infected district in New Orleans the disease has spread among thc resi dents, and several ladies and children are afflicted. Eight of the patients are convalescent. Dr, Horton, the State Board of Health inspector, reached Tallulah but has not reported yet whether the illness there is yellow fever.

The builders arc men who have no reason to advertise for subscribers to capital stock, and this in a measure accounts for the fact that practically nothing has been said about the development in the news papers. A dam has just been com pleted, 32 feet iii height, 8 feet in thickness at the top with thc proper thickness at the base for such a struc ture. It is near OOO feet long, and will turn the entire current of Saluda river into thc canal that is being dug. This canal, nearly half a mile in length, looks almost like a huge river bcd itself. The power that will be developed by means of this cur rent of water Avili bc tremedous but for the present onlj'.a portion of it will be utilized. Three immense water wheels will bc placed in position in the power house, on which work is vapidly proceeding, and 4,000 horse power will be developed at once, though this is not hy any means the full amount of power that will be available.

Philadelphia Girl Has Unique Decora* tion for "Den." For more than fourteen years, or, to be exact, since March 26, 1891, Miss Sadie Disston of Keystone street has' arduously collected canceled postage stamps, with the purpose of covering the walls of her "den." At last the' task has been completed and the roomi presents an appearance resembling the mosaic tapestry of olden times. The room is 10x15 feet. The paper was made into panels 28 inches wide/' on white linen, which were then? placed together by a narrow walnut molding. The stamps were accumu lated so quickly that by the end of the first year two panels were finished, the first containing 6,004 stamps. The ground of the panel design is made up of English penny stamps. By Juh London. - After Miss Disston found that there would not be. any difficulty in getting the required number of stamps, hav ing" one week received through the mall 14,000, little care was taken in the number stuck on eacn panel, until the total reached 99,998.-Philadelphia Record.
