It is probable that within the next CO days the work of populating a large traet of land in Aiken county will be commenced. This land was acquired through the bureau of immigration and will be used for affording homes to thrifty people who are dissatisfied with the climate of New England. The agent in charge of this colonization movement is Capt. E. Lindburg, a native of Sweden, who for 32 years has been engaged in building up settlements of this kind in the northwest. Captain Lindburg said that he had learned through Mr. Chas. 0. Due of Charleston that in South Carolina there are vast acres of arable land not under cultivation and that this is an inviting chance for immigrants of the proper kind. Mr. Due who is a Xorof the Security ! National bank of Charleston. Captain Lindburg came to South Carolina and made an investigation as to climatic and other conditions. He found much of the land unsuited to any immigration except that of coolies. But three-fourths of the 30,000,000 acres may be inhabited by settlers of any nationality. About this time there was considerable talk I of the establishment in South Carolina of a bureau of immigration and Captain Lindburg gave much valuable information to those leading in the tight. The colinization agencies wanted the State to establish such a bureau, for it would be 110 real estate agency to make all lands appear fertile and have the tirst settlers go away disappointed. What was wanted was a bureau to compile accurate information and statictics and to secure options 011 large tracts of land at reasonable terms. On his second trip to South Caro lina at the invitation of the bureau of immigration. Captain Lindburg contracted for the purchase of 10,0(1(1 acres of land between Trenton and Croft station and approaching1 the city of Aiken. He had found the climate of the State exactly what is wanted by the dissatisfied Swedes in New England and in the northwest, and that for 10 months in the year farming operations can be conducted here. A sufferer from rheumatism himself lie had secured absolute immunity from its pain while in South Carolina. Captain Lindburg settled a great part of the State of Missouri 011 the line of the Atlantic and Pacific rail ways. He also established colonies in the State of Nebraska. He therefore knows where to pet immigrants and how to persuade them. Fifteen years ago it would have been impossible to get Europeans to come south in colonies on account of the distorted views of social conditions here entertained by the people i of contintntal Europe. But through ! his own and other agencies all such j fears have been dissipated and these : jK'ople are ready to eome here and ! become settlers. | In addition to the 10,000 acres of j which he contracted last September, i Captain Lindburg has secured options j on 0,000 acres in an adjoining tract j and 3.100 acres in another, making nearly 20,000 acres in all in Aiken county. Besides these, he has options on 20,000 acres near McBee and 25.000 acres in another tract surrounding the town of McBee on the Seaboard road in Chesterfield county. The Aiken lands are fertile and are ' suitable for truck farming. The Ches1 (..AaU In,,,1c nvn twiv hut nrp well I UlUClu iiiimo u;v I adapted to fruit raisins: .

He, therefore, will see I that none but desirable people will be | sent to populate the 20,000 acres in i Chesterfield county. The Brookland Fraud Case. Lexington, Special.?In the court of general sessions Geo. B. McC'ombs, exmayor of New Brookland. along with T. D. Mitchell, formerly town policeman. and M. L. Fox were found guilty of tampering with the election returns of the municipal election held in New Brookland on the 27th of last May. At that time MeCombs was the intendant of that town, and he stood for re-election, being opposed by Mr. J. S. Gunnell. The managers of the election. apj>ointed by MeCombs. were M. L.

Portsmouth. N. H., Special.?Black pessimism reigns at Portsmouth. The prevailing view is that the fate of the ?(a nlrno/lir COQ peace cuiuei tiicu 13 au that it has ended in failure and that all that now remains is for the plenipotentiaries to meet Tuesday, to which day they adjourned Friday afteinoon upon completing the seriatim consideration of the Japanese terms, sign the final protocol, go through the conventions and bid each other farewell. In other words, that the meeting Tuesday will be what diplomacy calls the "seance d'adieu." But there is still room for hope of a compromise. Neither Roosevelt nor the powers will see the chance of peace shipwrejked without a final effort, and that pressure is being exerted, especially a^Tokio, to induce Japan to moderate her terms, is beyond question. Just what is being done or is to be cone, has not transpired. King Edward is understood to be now lending a helping hand the financiers of the world are known to be exerting all their influences. At Tokio and St. Petersburg the final Issue will he ueciaea. 1 ne Japanese have been implacable throughout the six days' sittings. They have listened and explained, but they have yielded not an iota of the ?uostance of their original demands. Air. Witte accepted outright seven of the twelve Japanese conditions, one in principle and four, including the ma'n issues, indemnity and Sakhalin, he tcjected. The other two, limitation of naval power and the surrender of the interned warships, might have been arranged had there been any prospect of agreement on the two points upon which the digergence seemed irreconcilable. In the oral discussion of the terms, Mr. Witte yielded upon two articles, but substantially the result of the thirteen sittings of the envoys has only been to emphasize the position taken by Mr. Witte in the written reply he presented last Saturday to the Japanese terms. And now both sides turn to home for the last word before the cards are thrown face uptard upon the table next Tuesday, for ie impasse reached Friday by the aq o} paziuSoaaj si sajjeijuajodtuaid only a diplomatic 'fiction.' If in the Interim istructions are received by either side compromise is yet possible But the chances are recognized to be slim. So far as the Russian plenipotentiaries are concerned there never was a chance of their yielding both indemnity and Sakhalin. The cession of Sakhalin without indemnity was, according to the best inside information the extreme limit to which Mr. Witte would ever consent to go and the Emperor has not yet given the word even to concede that. And suddenly a new factor has been introluced which, in the opinion of those most competent to judge, lessens materially the chances I that he might do so. namely, the issuance of his manifesto granting a popular representative body of his subjects. The bearings of this "historic" document. as Mr. Witte described it a few days ago. upon the issue are easily com prehensible. It is bound to ameliorate the internal situation in Russia. The manifesto is Emperor Nicholas' answer to the Japanese demand for the payment of a war tribute. The grant of this broad reform is regarded as virtually an appeal to the Russian people for support to resist it. At Tokio it is impossible to tell what view will be taken. Peace probably j can be even now secured by the sacrifice of the indemnity Vague intimations ' ? ?t. x ? + V?r\ Tononncn ciflA I lonigni cuiuc nuui mc ^a^au^v ' that "the demand for the cost of the war'1 might be moderated, but Mr. Witte's reply Is that he will pay liberally for the maintainance of the Russian prisoners in Japan, but "not a copeck for tribute." Tonight the situation can be summed up in a single sentence?prompt and heroic action by outside influence alone j can save the conference. Portsmouth. N. H., Special.?The j prospects for peace are distinctly brighter. The plenipotentiaries are j laboring with a seriousness and ear- j r.estness which leaves not the slight-1 est doubt that both are anxious to, conclude a treaty. Though the main : points remain to be contested and the j plenipotentiaries of each side speak as I though the conference would go to j pieces unless the other side gives way, I the sj%pt of compromise is in the air. j When he returned to the hotel Wed-1 nesday night. Mr. Witte, who was1 tired out with his hard day's work, j said: "I am doing all I can for peace. Of ' the eight articles we have already con-1 videred. I have yielded seven. No1 other statesman in Russia would have I dared to do so much, and I have done | what I have on my own responsibilI ity." j Growers Will Control Prices. Washington, Special.?The 9outhern Cotton Association has determined that the price of the principal product of ! the South shall be fixed by the growers and not by Wall street This is the substance of a declaration made by Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association. Mr. Jordan has been here for the past few days on business connected with the present grand jury investigation of the Department of Agriculture cases. He appeared before that body as a witness. Georgia Tech Presidnet Dead. Atlanta, Ga., Special.?A special from Dansville, N. Y., announces the death at a sanitarium there early Thursday of Captain Lyman Hall, preident of the Georgia School of Technology, at At lanta. Captain Hall was 45 years of age, graduated at West Point Military Academy in 1881, but resigned his commission in the army on account of an injury received while in the military school. He has been connected with the School of Technology since 1888, when he accepted the chair of mathemaitc. His death was due to nervous prostration brought on by overwork. em Outline of Proposition to Baron Boson Becomes Known?Suggestion Hard For the Czar, as Author of The Hague Peace Conference, to Reject ?Japan's Acceptance Considered Assured if Russia's is Obtained. Portsmouth, N. H., Special.?It cannot be autroritatively stated that the feature of the proposition of President Roosevelt communicated through Baron Rosen to Mr. Witte and transmitted by the latter to Emperor Nicholas was basad upon the principle of arbitration, wnetner tne proposal contemplates arbitration of all the articles npon which the plenipotentiaries have failed to agree, or upon the question of indemnity cannot be stated with positiveness, but it is more than probable that it relates only to indemnity or to indemnity and the cession of the island of Sakhalin. Neither is it possible to s^y whether the President has has yet made a similar proposition to Japan. The customary diplomatic proceedings in such a case would be to submit the proposal simultaneously to both countries, but there might be an advantage in securing the adherence of one before submitting it to the other. To Emperor Nicholas, the author of The Hague peace conference, the suggestion of arbitration which will neces sarily immediately command the sympathy of the public opinion of the world will be particularly hard to reject. If he agrees. Japari. if she has not already done so. would be all the more bound to submit her claim to the decision of an impartial arbitrator. Ac eeptance by both sides would Involve a great extension of the principle of arbitration, as nations have heretofore declined to arbitrate questions involving their "honor and dignity." Both Mr. Takahira and Mr. Witte in the earlier stages of the conference absolutely rejected the idea of arbitration, and both reiterated their disbelief in such a solution. It was noticed, however, that Mr. Witte's opinion was not expressed as strongly as it was last week. An Offer to Japan. Portsmouth, N. H., Special. ? The chances of peace have undoubtedly been improved by President Roosevelt's action in stepping Into the breach in a last heroic endeavor to induce the warring countries to compromise their "irreconcilable differ?? knt tho result is Still in SUS pease. The ultimate decision of the issue has de facto if not de jure, passed from the plenipotentiaries to their principals, from Portsmouth to St. Petersburg, and perhaps in a lesser extent, to Tckio. Although there are collateral evidences that pressure both by President Roosevelt and neutral powers, including Japan's ally, Great Britain, whose minister, Claude McDonald, according to advices received here, held a long conference Sunday afternoon with Mr. Katsura, the Japanese Premier, is still being exerted at Tokio to induce Japan to moderate her demands, there is reason to believe that President Roosevelt was able at his interview with Baron de Rosen to practically communicate to the latter's senior, Mr. Witte, Japan's irreducible minimum?what she would yield, but the point beyond which she would not go. Whether an actual basis of compromise was proposed by the President, cannot be stated definitely. The only thing that can be affirmed positively is that if Russia refuses to act upon the suggestion or proposition of President Roosevelt the peace conference will end in failure. No clue of the nature of this recommendation has transpired. But it can be stated that Mr. Witte, no matter how he may personally view the proposition, is distinctively pessimistic as to the character of the response which will come from St. Petersburg. To a confidential friend he offered little hope of a change in the situation. The Japanese, very firmly believed, cling to the substance if not the form of this demand for remuneration for "the cost of the war." Perhaps they are willing to decrease the sum asked, but substantial compensation, under whatever guise it is obtained, they decline to relinquish. And they are also firm upon the cession of Sakhalin. Jap Warships Off Siberia. Godzyadani, Manchuria, By Cable.? A small squadron of Japanese cruisers is crusing off the shore of Kamchatka.

J The Situation Now Shows a Slow Bui| t " -Steady Improvement NUMBER OF DEATHS ON DECREASE Death List of Only Four Indicates That Practically Every Case is Being Reported, and This Means That Modern Methods to Prevent Spread Are Being Universally Applied? Marine Hospital Surgeons Not Talking, But Evidently HopefulOver 20 New Cases in Vicinity and Several Deaths. New Orleans, Special.?Official report to 6 p. m.: New cases, 45. Total cases to date, 1,385. Deaths, 4 Total deaths, 196. New foci, 11. Total foci, 306. Remaining under treatment, 381. No better evidence of the fact, that the visitation of mosquito fever is not only being controlled here, but that there is a change for its eradication, can be found, than in the daily reports of cases and deaths. For several days the numuer of cases has shown a decline, while the number of deaths have been remarkably lower, considering the number of cases reported a week ago. The death list indicates that practically every case that develops is now being reported and that means that me moaern metnoa 01 ueaiuieui. iu prevent spreJtl is being applied. When that condition is assured, the end of visitation is in sight, and it looks as if that condition is approaching. , With the visitation of 1878 compared to the present one, it is shown that there is do reason for alarm in the present instances. They prove the fact that the disease is being controlled. They also indicate that if it had not been checked and controlled at the time that it was that the visitation this year would have been as serious as that of 1880. While the Marine Hospital surgeons are making no comments, they are much more hopeful than they were two weeks ago, when they took hold of the situation. Of the four deaths, one was at the Charity Hospital, one in the Emergency Hospital, and the other two down town. A surgical reai. i Louisville, Special.?Employing the skin of healthy brown sheep, the head of Miss Edna Seifert. whose scalp was torn off in an accident at the NelsonBethel Clothing Company, August 2, will be covered by the grafting process. Dr. A. R. Bizot, who has been attending her at Sts. Mary and Elizabeth Hospital, stated that work of placing the skin on Miss Seifert's head will i commence this morning. The operaj tion will require several months, as only little "islands" of the skin are dot! ted over the surface close enough to ultimately grow together. In a few i weeks the success of this somewhat I unique and original operation can be i determined. If it is not successful, ! then the skin of a human will be used. I Miss Seifert is twenty-one years old, and boards at 2400 Griffiths avenue. She was an operator at the factory of the Nelson-Bethel Clothing Company. While she was adjusting a refractory belt, her hair caught in the shafting. She was dragged across the machine, and her entire scalp and part | of her cheek were torn completely off. At first her life was despaired in. um her injury responded promptly to treatment and her recovery is now confidently expected. Sunday a pieje of skin taken from Miss Seifert's heel was grafted to her forehead, but to cover her entire head with a substitute for a scalp wes a problem which the attending surgeon is now endeavoring to solve by using sheep skin. The animal was purchased from a Jefferson-county farmer, and is in fine condition. The brown sheep was selected because that was the color I of the wig she will hereafter be forced to wear.

I wonder if ever a rhyme was rung. / But the thought surpassed the meter! I wonder if ever a sculptor wrought. Till the cold stone echoed his ardent thought! Or if a painter, with light and shade. The dream of his inmost heart portrayed. I wonder if ever a rose was found. And there might not be a fairer! Or if ever a glittering gem was ground. And we dreamed not of a rarer! Ah! never on earth do we find the best. But it waits for us in a land of rest. And a perfect thing we shall never behold. Tilt we pass the portals of shlping gold. ?James Clarence Harvey, in New Or? leans Picayune. -j a
