PEACE POSSIBLE
KILLED BY HIS
SISTER-IN-LAW
By Associated Press.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 26.—President
Roosevelt’s intercession at Peterhof and
Tokio has not been successful as yet but
enough progress has been made to insure
prolongation of negotiations beyond to-
day.
A certain result has been achieved at St.
Petersburg but if there is eventually to
be peace Japan must change her attitude.
The repurchase of the northern half of
Sakhalin Island still points a clear road to
the only possible compromise, but it must
be a purely commercial transaction, not
a claim for indemnity in disguise. There
has not been the slightest indication up
to 11 o’clock this morning that Emperor
Nicholas would recede from his announced
determination not to pay tribute under
any form, and in quarters most competent
to judge there is not the slightest prospect
of h change.
But if Japan would bend—if she would
renounce formally her determination for
"reimbursement for the cost of war’’ by
withdrawal of the price she sets on the
northern half of Sakhalin—and frankly
make a proposition to sell the island on
a commercial basis it is difficult to see
how Emperor Nicholas could refuse.

"The foreign office empowers the Asso-

of opposition of the emperor to the media-
tion of President Roosevelt is absurd. The
emperor^ regards the endeavors of
president with admiration and takes
greatest interest in the success of
labors , for peace, in whose beginning the
emperor personally assisted.”

ern railway as at first appeared, according
to a statement given out tonight at the

No Developments Today—Action of Wash-
ington Autorities Awaited.
According to the Houston Chronicle of
last evening Roberts & Crawford, attor-
neys for the Houston Boat and Power club,
in their efforts to obtain a remission in
the $580 fine assessed against them by the
Galveston custom house officials at the
Seabrooke regatta for violations of a Unit-
ed States navigation law, have reveived a
letter from the officials here remitting $50
of the fine. No statement could be gotten
from the Galveston officials today, as they
desired not to be quoted until their super-
iors in office at Washington could be heard
from. They said, however, that the $580
had been deposited here by the Houston
Boat and Power company and that the
matter had been taken up with the de-
partment at Washington. Beyond this the
status of the affair is know to absolutely
no one but the officials.
Houston is making a great stir about
the fine, considering that they have been
imposed upon. In Galveston, especially
among mariners and men in tuoch with
the situation, the opinion is different,,. One
gentleman, who has been thoroughly in
touch with the entire incident since the
beginning, said today; "It is one of the
most flagrant infringements of the Unit-
ed States law that I have ever seen. The
Lawrence was used in direct apposition
to written instructions, from the inspector
of boilers. A remission of the fine may
be secured, but I don’t believe that it is
deserved or will be granted.”

Oyster Bay, L. I., Aug. 25.—President
Roosevelt late this afternoon made a
descent into the waters of Long Island
sound on board the submarine torpedo
beat Plunger. He was on board the ves-
sel about three hours. At one time the
little boat was submerged for 50 minutes,
and in that time it was put through all
of the submarine feats of which she is
capable. The president expressed tonight
his delight at the novel experience and
paid he was immensely imnressed with
the boat and with the manner in which
she was handled. In thus bravin_g the
dangers of. submarine maneuvering the
president has endeared himself to naval
officers and men the world over and made

New York, Aug. 26.—The week in the
stock market was notable for the estab-
lishment of new high records in a number
of important stocks and for a sensational
upward movement in Reading. The steady
rise of the last three months continued
with slight interruption, but was checked
by the Reading movement, which excited
fears cf a corner in that stock and pro-
duced general declines. Trading during
the greater part of the week was large
in volume with a broadening tendency,
but became featureless and dull at the end.
The improved tone of the steel and iron,
coal and copper stocks reflected the uni-
formly excellent conditions reported in
these various industries. Crop advices
wore of a favorable tenor and railroad re-
turns satisfactory. The peace negotia-
tions at Portsmouth were hardly a factor,
though some disappointment was expressed
at the lack of progress reported.

the Plunger, the proudest and happiest
man in the United States navy.
The president’s intention not only to
make a personal inspection of the tiny
vessel, likely to prove so deadly In naval
warfare, but to make a submarine de-
scent in it, was reached after a confer-
ence with Lieut. Nelson,
commander explained to President Roose-
velt the operations of the boat and as-
sured him that a trip on her and a de-
scent into the depths of Long Island
sound would be as devoid of danger as
would be a trip on a New York subway
train.
The president has long desired to watch
the operations of a submarine boat at
close rang?, and before this would have
made a trip on one had he not been de-
terred from doing so by .advices of his
friends and official advisers. Convinced
by the logic of Lieut. Nelson, he arranged
to take a trip on the Plunger and to have
the little vessel perform all her wonderful
feats jyhlle he was on board. Shortly
after 8 o’clock the president went aboard
the Plunger. As soon as~ne had descended
into the boat the manholes were closed
and, convoyed by the naval tender
Apache, the Plunger started off for the
sound. No maneuvers were attempted
until the vessel was well beyond the en-
trance of the bay. A stiff northeast
breeze which has been blowing since last
night kicked up a heavy sea in the sound,
but the Plunger behaved beautifully. The
water where the trial took place is about
40 feet deep. Soon after the vessel reached
trip necessary depth of water she was di-
rected downward until she rested on the
bottom of the sound. While the president
thus was resting on the bottom of the
sound in a submarine boat, a storm 40
feet above him was raging unnoticed,
but it was as quiet where the president
sat as an easy chair in a parlor would
be. Explanations of the working of the
vessel having been made to the president,
Lieut. Nelson began to show her paces.
Lieut. Nelson made his boat perform the
remarkable feat of diving to a depth of
20 feet and while going at full speed at
that depth reversing her course. The
complete turn occupied only one minute.
Subsequently the engines were stopped,
and the vessel was submerged to a depth
of 20 feet. There she was kept motion-
less. During ’ the operations of the
Plunger, the tender remained within a
short distance, prepared to render any
assitance that might be necessary. She
was not needed, however, and the Plunger
returned to her moorings without an un-
toward incident. Not even the members
of his family were aware of the presi-
dent’s intentions to make the descent in
the Plunger.

Plodding Pete, “dere goes a man wit’ a

New Orleans, La., Aug. 26.—Following
the appeal of the marine hospital author-
ities a large number of householders today
are engaged in fumigating their prem-
ises. Many others ar© expected to do so
tomorrow.
It Is estimated that 25 per cent of the
householders disinfected last Sunday. If
25 per cent more follow suit this week
there will be measurable satisfaction.
Within the next two weeks It is anticipat-
ed all premises will be treated to th© Sul-
phur or pyrethrum treatment. That they
should be considered essential to the suc-
cess of the federal plans.
Prof. Boyce of the Liverpool Sch.ool of
Tropical Medicine said that from what
he had seen here during his brief inspec-
tion, everything possible was being done
by th© federal authorities to control the
fever. Their organization is excellent arid
there is every promise that the fight will,
be successful. Prof. Boyce Believes abso-
lutely in the stegomyia as the only means
of transmission of the disease.
Announcement of yellow fever at Gulf-
port created no surprise here. It was an-
ticipated from knowledge in possession of
the local authorities. All coast towns
are now extending quarantines to Gulf-
port. Biloxi has thrown a cordon around
herself and Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian
and other cities are following that course.
There will, however, be no general quar-
antine by New Orleans against either
Gulfport or Mississippi City.
Dr. Marcour ana his band of nurses are
expected to reach stricken Leeville today.
President Souchon and party went to Pat-
terson today and will determine whether
the state board shall take full charge of
the situation there. ‘
Of the two cases that have appeared
in St. Tammany’s parish one of them died
and the other recovered. Both were trace-
able directly to New Orleans. Both de-
veloped in isolated sections of the parish
and were thoroughly protected.
So perfect is the confidence that the
fever will not live in St. Tammany, owing
to the absence of stegomyia, thousands of
New Orleans people are now located in
St. Tammany and others continue to go
there.
The authorities of St. Bernard parish
have reconsidered their action in th® mat-
ter of shipments fro§i Chalmette. It was
demonstrated to them that there was no
danger of infection under the present rigid,
rules of detention and precautions that ha*
been taken by the fruit companies, and
the parish authorities have notified Dr.
White of their willingness to let ships
land within the limits of the parish.
One hundred cars have been screened
for the carriage of fruit to the wfcst.
The city authorities have taken steps
to supply mosquito bars to the parish
prison, the house of refuge and the jails
as a result of the recent report of the
grand jury. The necessity for this action
has been emphasized by the appearance
of two cases of yellow fever in local pris-
ons.
There is no change in the fever situation
here today. Two deaths were reported
early today, both occurring during the
night. There is the normal number of
new cases.
Because of the present difficulty in se-
curing observance of the law of abstin-
ence Bishop Rouxel, administrator of the
New Orleans diocese, has issued an. order
of dispensation of that law to all Catho-
lics until the present fever is over.

make just as good soldiers as the stronger
sex. The company is under the com-
mand of Mrs. Ernest H. Smith of Engle-
wood, who ranks as captain, and under
her instructions has become thoroughly
efficient in the manual of arms.
Their first public appearance took place
at a logrolling at Englewood this week,
