The Russians hail not been anxious
for a session, an<l the Japanese took
the initiative, an I tl.roumu the in
medinry of .Mr. Pierce, it was decided
to postpone the sitting until Mommy
morning. The situation therefore remains
the same. it v.ould perhaps not
be too much to say that the general
feeling is more hopeful, in suite ?>?' n<?>n
negotiations that before next Sunday
the ]ileni|x)tent .aries w
passe where a rupture will become inevitable.
This pessimistic view 1 ti-s-c 1
upon the fact, so far as known, the two
big barriers to an agreement indent- I
nity and Sakhalin?remain as high and
Insurmountable as ever.
NEXT MOVE VP TO JAPS.
The real struggle is only postponed.
The main problems are no nearer solution
than when the plenipotentiaries
met. The principal reason for opti- [
niisin lies in thi> ?*;i t ihnt
with the absolute refusal of the Russian
reply to admit the discussion of '
either indemnity or the cession of the
island of Sokhalin, the Japanese proposed
to take up the consideration of
the conditions seriatim. From this it
is assumed that the Japanese are prepared
to yield or have reason to he- :
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 intlu- I

that for the moment the effort is to j

The bo lies of father and son were i
found in the pine wixnls, near the public
road. The elder Simmons was shot
through the heart by a full charge of
buckshot and the heart was found on
the ground about a foot from the body

RAISES "YELLOW PERIL" CRY.
The debate in Saturday's conferonco
over the first condition?the recogijl|

tion of Japan's "preponderating influence"
over Korea, involving lier right
to control the administration of the
hermit kingdom, use the littoral for
stragetie purposes, etc.,?was of a remarkable
character, indeed the position
taken by Mr. Witte was sensational
in the extreme. His attitude reveals
plainly the Russian tactics. They
propose to raise before the world the
spectre of the "yellow peril." Russia
claims that Japan's present purpose
is to get a foothold on (lie Asiatic continent
from which to extend*her influence
and dominion.
Mr. Witte made no objection, but he
unwind unit uiu worna "preponderating
influence" did not adequately describe
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 Japanese
province of Korea.
BASIS OF NEGOTIATION.
The cession of the Russian leases to
the Liaotung Peninsular, comprising
Port Arthur and Dalny.
The evacuation of the entire province
of Manchuria, the retrocession to China
of any privileges Russia may have
in the province and the recognition by
Russia of the principle of the "open
door."
The cession to Japan of the Chinese
Eastern Railroad below Harbin, the
main line through northern Manchuria
to'Vladivostock, to remain Russian
property.
The recognition of the Japanese protectorate
over Korea.
The grant of flshing rights to Japan
The grant of Ashing rights to Japanese
in the waters of the Siberian littoral
northward from Vladivostock to
the Beliring Sea.
The relinquishment to Tapan of the
Russian warships interned in neutral
ports.
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 audition to the two principal conditions,
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 littoral
are considered particularly offensive
to the amour propro of their
country, and of such a humiliating
character as to be inadmissible.

Taulu. The Japanese 'assumed the offensive
and turned both flanks, compelling
the Russians to retreat to the
northward. The Japanese followed in
pursuit and again encountered part
of the Russian force, which halted in
the Nadoulin gorge, but after a hot
fttsilade they returned to the southward.
The Russians in the Hailungcheng

PRESIDENT SPOKE TO MINERS
President Roosevelt Gave Some Splendid
Advice. <
Wilkesbarre. Pa., Special.?From
every section of the authraclte region
miners and temeprance workers came
here, thousands arriving on the early
trains, and before daylight crowds of
people with lunch boxes and umbrellas
had camped out in advantageous
spots to await the arrival of President
Roosevelt. 1
The Catholic Total Abstinence Union
delegates transacted but little business
this morning, and at noon the ten
thousand uniformed cadets and soldiers
of the two regiments of the order paraded.
This parade ended in time for
the regiments to line the streets and
keep Lack the great crowds. Before
iu? rrt'SHH-ni s train came to a mil
stop a great shout went from the enormous
crowd assembled at the station,
which increased into a roar as the
['resident stepped briskly from the
train. The President was met by the
local reception committee, which included
Father Curran and John Mitchell.
The streets 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 nt
favorite places for hours. The President's
reception as he was rapidly driven
over the route was a tremendous
ane. The President appeared to be extremely
pleased at the demonstration
and kept bowing to the right and left.
The 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
wore 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.
1 am particularly glad to speak to
this audience of miners and their wives
and children .and especially to speak
under the auspices of this great temperance
society. In our country the
happiness of al ltlie rest of our people
depends most of all upon the welfare
a fthe wage-worker and the welfare of ,
the farmer. If we can secure the wel- ,
fare of these two siasses we can be ]
reasonably certain that the community i
as a whole will prosper. And we must
never forget that the chief factor in ,
securing the welfare alike of wageworker
and of farmer, as of everybody .
else, must be the man himself. (
The only effective way to help any- |
body is to help him help himself. There <
arc exceptional times when any one of
us needs outside help, and thpn it ,
should be given freely; but normally (
each one of us must depend upon his
own exertions for his own snrress.
Something can be done by wise legislation
and by wise and honest ndminis- i
tration of the laws; that is, something <
can be done by our action taken in our <
collective capacity through the State !
and nation. i
INDIVIDUAL MAN PARAMOUNT. i
Something more can be done by com- I
bination and organization among our- 1
selves in our private capacities as eiti- <
zens. so long as this combination or i
organization is manage 1 with wisdom c
and integrity, with instance upon the t
rights of those benefited and yet with 1
just regard for the rights of others. >
But in the last analysis the factor 1
most influential in determining any j
man's success must ever lie the sum i
of that man's own qualities, of his i
knowledge, foresight, thrift and courage.
Whatever tends to increase his 1
self-respect, whatever tends to help him <
overcome the temptations with which 1
all of us are surrounded, is of benefit, i
not only to him, but to the whole com- t
munity. 1
No one society can do more to help r
the wage-worker than such a temper- \
ance society as that which I am now t
addressing. It is of incalculable consequence
to the man himself that lie
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 s
sins of the man are often visited most
neavuy upon those "whose welfare t
should ho iiis one special care. <
THE DRI'XKARD'S FAMfl/Y. t
For the drunkard, for the man who I
loses his job because he cannot control i
or will not control bis desire for liquor f
and for vicious pleasure, we have a ?
feeling of anger and contempt mixed s
with our pity; but for bis unfortunate i
wife and little ones we feel only pity, <
and that of the deepest and tenderst
kind. t
Everything possible should be done J
to encourage the growth of that spirit ,
of self-respect, self-restraint, self-re- j
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- j
sihle privilege to be citizens of this ,
great self-governine nation- mid each
of us needs to keep steadily In Tore his
eyes the fact that he is wholly unfit to
take part in the work of governing
otliers unless he ran 11 rat govern him- i
self. Tie must stand up manfully for j
his own rights; he must respect the
rights of othe:s; he must obey the law. ^
ami he must try to live up to those ,
rules of righteousness which are above (
and behind all laws. (
This applies just as much to the man ,
of great wealth as to tlie man of small ,
means; to the capitalist as to the wage- (
worker. And as one practical point, ,
let me urge that in th eevent of any
difficulty, especially if it is what is
known as a labor trouble, both sides
should show themselves willing to
meet, willing to consult, and anxioiieach
to treat the other reasonably a
fairly, each to l?>ok at the other's
of the ease and to do tlie other jie
If only this course coul 1 he ger
followed, the chance of inilust:
aster would l?e minimized.

Cases under treatment, 343.
The heavy increase in the number of
rases which began four or five days I
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 PEOPI,E STRICKEN.
Among the cases is Louis Cm tillu.
Jr.. cashier of the People's Dank, who i
resides far out on North Johnson
street. Another case is .Maurice Ken- I
ny, ex-councilman and ex-member of
the Legislature. Two of Kenny's
daughters were stricken Sunday. Only
live of the new foci are about Canal
street.
Surgeon White made a change in his
organization by which he hopes to aci-omplisli
results much quicker. The
fumigation and screening work was all
done by a central department under
Doctor (lessner. which sent, squads out
an notification of cases by physicians
In the afternoon Dr. White assembled
all of his subordinates in conference
and decided to place the screening and
rumigation work under the several district
headquarters. The present force
will he divided up among the district
surgeons, and Dr. (lessner will lie given
rharge of one of the districts.
CONCEALMENT MAIN TUOCDLE.
Assostant Surgeon Corput has just
oneluded a thorough investigation of
onditious in Algiers, that nart of New
Jrlenns on the west bank of the Mississippi
river. There lias been two eases

liad lieen any spread from them. 1 >r.
Hotpot reported that lie had found not
i single suspicious ease, which Indicates
tliat the prompt steps taken to
screen and fumigate the original cases
lave been effective iu preventing a
spread. I>r. White says that if he could
earn of every case in the city and apily
the proper methods immediately he
s confident that he could stamp out the
liseasc here in a short time.
The great cause of the spread lias
leen the concealment of cases and the
diange of residence of people who have
icon infected. Dozens of c ases are on
ecord which show conclusively that
lie people have moved away from a
louse where infection had existed.
This Dr. White proposes to stop, and
vhile no drastic measures are being
aken, he is enforcing his authority.
FORCING DOCTORS TO RKI'ORT.
The effectiveness of the district headjuarters,
which are making close investigations
of the 17 districts, is reponslble
for a large number of the new
uses which have been reported during
he last few days, and as the efficiency
f that force increases, an increase in
lie number of cases daily can be cxlected.
Physicians who have fnileii
