v ' * FORT MILL TIMES. ^e??g*1? - _ _ _ . , m ? i VOL. XIV. FORT MILL, S. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 30,1905. NO. 93 RUN OF~TH? FEVER Conditions Have Not Improved as Expected MANY NEW CASES DEVELOPED Record Comparatively Bad, But Not Regarded as Significant in View of Headway Being Made Toward Ultimate Victory For the Workers? One Case Appears to Have Been Brought From Memphis, New Orleans, Special.?Official report to 6 p. m.: New cases. 65. Total to date, 1,660. Deaths, 6. Total, 232. New foci, 16. Total, 376. Remaining under treatment, 280. The figures show an increased num i/c-i ui uc w casi-s over rruiays report. and if there is any particular cause to assign for it, it is the excessively warm weather of the past few days, which has been most favorable for the development of the infection. The increase is so slight, however, that it does not in any way affect the hopeful feeling of those engaged in the campaign, which is progressing with every ileeree of harmony and promise of success. New Orleans has received one case of fever which appears to have come from Memphis. This case was a woman who came here August lf> and was taken ill two days later. The case was manifestly not contracted here, owing to the early developments of the disease after arrival. The list show seven new faci up town and three more in Algiers. Of the deaths, one was a sailor at the Marine Hospital, another was a very old man at the Emergency Hospital, and one a child in the Peters avenue neighborhood. The others were Italians. Following is a summary of the reports from the country: No definite news came from Leeville, Amelia or St. Johns. Patterson reports nine new cases. Hanson City has five now i-nssna Morgan City reports one-case, traced to the Amelia nest of infection. Lake Providence has two new cases ? =Od one death. tississippi City reports one new case. ? ? Gulfport. Miss., three miles west of Mississippi City, and where Dr. Wasdin makes his headquarters in conducting the campaign in Mississippi, reports three cases in the northeastern section of the city in a boarding house. The origin cT the cases is unknown, but it hi believed they came from Mississippi City. President Souchon, of the State hoard. Surgeon Guiteras and others will co to Patterson to determine whether the State should take charge of the situation there entirely. Will Never Pay Indemnity. St. Petersburg, By Cable.?There is the best of reasons and authority for declaring again, with increased emphasis. that Pussia will never consent to the payment of an indemnity to Japan. Such payment would so gravely menace the Vital interests of the State ' as to make this article in the Japanese terms utterly impossible of acceptance. 1 Furthermore, there exist the same I reasons and authority for the declaration that if Japan withdrew her in- ; demnity demand peace would practically ne assured, as the Russian atti- | ' tilde on the other three points, includ- I ' ing the cession of Sakhalin, does not preclude the possibility of reaching a satisfactory settlement on these points. I Indemnity is the crux of the whole 1 matter. If this question can be ar- i ranged, it is believed here that all other questions on which there has ( been a divergence of opinion will probably settle themselves. Adjournment to Saturday. Portsmouth, N.

MADE FINAL STAN! President Roosevelt Making Desperat Efforts For Peace ENVOYS AWAITING FINAL ORDER Sagamore Hill in Practically Constan Communication With the St. Peters burg and Tokio Governments?Ba ron Kancko. Japan's Conftdentia Representative in the United State Calls and Confers?Interval a Portsmouth While Pinal Appeal 10 Czar and Mikadc Are in Pro Kress. Oyster Bay, L.| I., Special.?The Cza and the Mikado are the determinini factors in the pending peace negotia tions. Although the negotiations teni porarily are suspended at Portsmouth they are proceeding actively througl President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill He is in practically constant communi cation with the St. Petersburg am Tokio governments. By both of thi warring nations his good offices have been sought and his efforts to brinj their plenipotentiaries into accord am thus prevent a failure of the peace conference are unremitting. Early in the day th?* President hat an extended conference with Baroi Kanko, the recognized contldentia agent of the Japanese government, ii this country. Neither the President nor Baroi Kaneka would discuss the nature o the interview. While the baron's ex pressed views of the peace negotiation; were not optimistic, lie left a distinct impression that the last word by n< means had been spoken, and that hopt of a successful issue of the conference was still strong. He protested tha Japan had no wish to do anything t< humiliate Russia, but expressed tin belief that the Japanese terms wert quite reasonable and that no furtliei concessions would be made. After the departure of Baron Kane ko. President Roosevelt was engaget w'th Acting Secretary Barnes for twr >urs in the consideration of dispatches eived and in the preparati<?n of those be sent. Portsmouth. N. H., Special.?The panese plenipotentiaries, at the collusion of the afternoon scssiem e?f the ace conference, threw the cards upon e table. It was the dramatic montenl the moment to which all the previous oeeedings of the conference had led tie protocols involving agreement ton' eight of tlte twelve conditions ?>rinally presented by the Japanese had en signed. One side or the other must take a move or the plenipotentiaries .id readied tho parting of the ways ho adversaries faced each other across 10 table. Of course it was well underood what would happen, but that. In a ay. only made it more dramatic. Figratively. President Roosevelt suddenly uterod the conference room. KOMl'ItA OFFERS COMPROMISE. Mr. Witte sat silent, and the move i the great diplomatic game passed ? Japan. Baron Komura. in a few ords. explained that Japan in her roat desire for peace, was ready to ake certain "modifications" of the -iginal articles in the hope that Rusa could find it possible to accept them, e then presented in writing to Mr. 'itte the compromise proposition hich President Roosevelt had sug sted. It was concrete arid specific and followed the lines outlined in those jspatches. It offered to withdraw arvles 9, providing for the payment by issia of Japan's bill for the cost of ir, on conditions that Russia would cept article 5, which provides for the ssion of the Island of Sakhalin, sc id i fled as to include an arrangement . ?r the purchase by Russia of tlie northern half of the island for 1.20(1 million yen. In addition it offered to withdraw entirely articles 11 and 12 (surrender* of the interned warships and limitation upon Rtrssia's sea power in tire far East), it was President Roosevelt's compromise and Mr. Wittr kniuu if u onntonto 00 *? <?!] o1 >? /.?, Komtira. The question of whether hf had been building was put to the test. PROMPT REFUSAL BY WITTK. Without a moment's hesitation. Mr Witte explained that tlie modification proposed was merely a sham. a change of phraseology, a diplomatic attempt t< "dorer la pifitle" and ask Russia tc pay war tribute under another name He coul i not accept it. He told Haror Koir.ura Russia wanted peace. She ha<: given the proofs in accepting everj article involvins the issues upon which the war was fought, but slie could fight, and money for tribute she would not pay. not a kopeck. He asked Baron Komtira to withdraw all demands foi tribute. And so the plenipotentiaries separated, to meet again on Saturday ostensibly to permit Mr. Witte to plae? in writing, nr. the rules of? the < ference require, his reply to the Japanese compromise proposition. In re:il ity, the adjournment ovJ?r two days was to y'.ve erica side opportunity to consult, its governmciit for the ins time. I CZAR APPEARS rNFYIELDING.
