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. H., Special.?Official
statement: j
At Wednesday's sitting of the con- 1
ference the protocols were signed in i
due form, after which the conference (
adjourned until Saturday. ,
Strike in Foctory.
Warsaw, Ily Cable.?The strikes in
the factories at Warsaw and Lodz I
have ended. Trains are running from (
Warsaw on time. They are guarded
and driven by soldiers. The wholesale *
arrests which have been made here in- t
elude leading members of the Polish c
Socialist party. Several persons have j
been conveyed to to the Fortress of (
Modlin. because jails set apart for po- (
litical offenders are full.
rvuis iwo ana is Killed.
Selma, Ala., Special.?Oliver l/)tt,
a negro laborer at the lumber mill of c
G. Talley in Tunnel Springs, during a c
quarrel with John and Henry Helton
over a debt, opened fire on them, T
killing John Helton and seriously J
wounding Henry Helton. The negro n
then fled and barricaded himself in a
house. A posse of citizens under the ^
leadership of G. Talley attempted to J
arrest him. They surrounded the ?
house, but Lot; refused to surrender,
and fired on tin- crowd. Talley was 11
mortally wounded and died a few !
hours later. The posse then fired on 1,
the negro and his iv>rly was afterwards t
found riddled with bullets. 0

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

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?
