PEACE ENVOYS REACH AGREEMENT
President Roosevelt Surprised and
Russian Envoys Were Much
xicited.
Did Not Expect thalt u Agreemelnt
H'ould be RIeached so Soon.
Portsmouth, N. H., August -.'- The
long and bloody war between Japan
and Russia is ended. The terms of
peace were settled by M. Witte and
Baron Nomura at the session of the
conference this morning, and this af
ternoon preliminary arrangements for
an armistice were concluded, and the
actual work of framing the "treaty of
Portsmouth" was by mutual agree
ment turned over to Mr. I)e Martens,
Russia,s great international lawyer,
and Mr. Dennison, who for twenty-tire
years has acted as the legal adviser
of the Japanese foreign oflice.
The treaty is expected to be com
l)leted by the end of the week.
This happy conclusion of the confer
ence, which a week ago would have
been shipwrecked had it not been for
the heroic efforts of President Roose
velt, was sudden and dramatic,
For the sake of peace, Japan with
the magnanimity of a victor at the
last moment, yielded everything still
at issue.
Russia refused to budge from the
ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had giv
en to President IRoosevelt through
Embassador Meyer. No indemnity
under any guise, but an agreement to
divide Sakhalin and reimburse Japan
for the mantainance of the Russian
prisoners were his last words. They
had been rel)eatedly reiterated in the
form of a written reply to the Japanese
compromise of last Wednesday, they
were delivered to Baron Komura this
morning.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Jap, Concluded Peace for Humanilty's
Sake.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 2q.-The
following statement was issued by Mr.
Sate on behalf of the Japanese peni
potentaries:
"The question of the final disposi
tion of Sakhalin and the reimburs
ment to Japan of her war expenses,
have from the first been issued on
which an absolute vergancy of views
existed. The difference of opinion up
on these points, not one, but both,
have frequently threatened the exist
ence of the conference. But his maj
esty. the emperor of Japan, resl)ond
ing to the dictates of humanity and
civilization, has in a spirit of perfect
conciliation and in the interest of
peace, authorized his penipotentaries
to waive the question of reimburse
ment of war expenses, and has con
cented to a division of Sahkalin upon
terms which are mutually acceptable,
thus making it possible to bring the
important work of the conference to a
succeseful issue."'
This official action of this after
noon's session was given by Mr. Sato
on his arrival at the hotel. It is as
follows:
"In the afternoon session of August
29, the conference discussed the de
tails of the treaty of peace. It was
decided to intrust the drafting of the
clauses to Privy Councillor De Mar
tens and Mr. Dennison, legal adviser
of the foreign otfice of Japan, with in
structions to finish the work as soon
as possible."

S. P. BRINGS SUIT
To Prevent Railroad Commission From
Reducing Rice Rates.
In the declaration filed in the dis
trict court at Baton lRouge by the
Southern l'acific, in their suit against
the Louisiana 1Railroad commission
from making permanent its rates re
cently promulgated on rough and
clean rice. J. T. Kernon and Dene
gre & Blair. attorneys for the plain
tiff, recite the following eight reasons
why the rates should not he made
permanent:
First--The radical changes propolsed
are not justified by the conditions,
that the existing rates are fair and
reasonable to shippers. permit a free
movement of the trattic and are not
discriminating in favor of any local
ity. In evidence they say the traIliic
has grown from a mere trifle to 200.
000.000 pounds per year.
Second--The rates are lower than
those fixed by the Commission on oth
er roads.
Third--No complaint was made on
rates on eclean rice, yet reduction on
clean rice is gzreater than on rough.
Fourth- -Tariff makes no allowance
for unfavorable situation of the rail
road company in having to deli ver to
New Orleans by ferry boat.
Fifth-Tariff violates the fundamen
tal principle of rate making, in that it
prescribes the same rate on branches
as on the main line.
Sixth-The tariff imposes on the
road an annual loss of its revenue.
Teventh-R-ates are unreasonable
in that they discriminate in favor of
every other commodity.
Eighth-Rates are unrcasouable be
cause they would not allow the road
enough revenue to pay the cost of
movement of rice.
The secretary of the Louisiana Rail
road Commission has been notified of
the appeal of the Southern Pacific
road in the rice rate case. Copies of
the declaration of the railroad com
pany, in which they claim to new tariff
on rice shipments to New Orleans to
be unjust, have been forwarded to the
Attorney General at New Orleans.
T. Marshal Miller has been select
ed by the Commission to assist At
torney General Guion on the prosecu
tion of the case.
W. M. Barrow, secretary of the
Commission, will hold a conference as
sood as possible with the two attorn
eys. Mr. Barrow is now collecting
data.
Though the Commission purposes
to push the matter, there is no possi
bility of the case being heard before
October, as court does not convene
before that date and there is no possi
bility of a decision being reached un
til this year's cron has been hauled.

Jennings Oil-Field News.
The Crowley Oil & Mineral Co.
have decided to drill andther well in
theJennings field. According to plans
the new hole will be put down in the
neighborhood of the company's earth
en tanks which is northeast of any
wells in the field. It will be practi
cally a wildcat well and if it proves
good, will open up new territory, as
it will be twenty-five feet east of the
other well.
J. B. Tierce has started drilling on
his well No. 0. Will Brown is day
driller and Mr. Tierce handles the job
at night.
Work has been started on a 150,000
barrel tank for the Sterling Oil Co.,
at the Jehnings oil field.
This is the first of a series of tanks I
which will be built by the company.
Upon the completion of this one now
being constructed, work will be imme
diately commenced on another and so
on until five tanks of about the same
capacity have been built. Brooks &
Wood wortb have the contract for the
work. They are being put Ul) on the
McFarlain property.
Another good well was added to the
J.ennings field when the West Virginia
Co's. well No. 2, was brought in last
Friday night. It started off at about
4,000 barrels per day and was turned
directly into a large pit from which
the oil will be pumped into storage
tanks.

DR. LEACH RETURNS.
Resolutions of Thanks to Preshlent
Iloosvelt and of Pledge toin Support
the Federal Auithorities.
l)r. I:eginald M. Leach, of St. Paul,
Minn., who caine down to New (h)rlans
a week or .so ago for the purpose of
making tests of the arccnic theory for
the prevention of yellow fever, an'
nounced last iight that owing to cer
tain circumstances over which he had
no control. he had been unable to
make the tests he desired, and that
therefore he would return to his home
Saturday. The announcement was
made at a meeting of Dr. Leach's fol
lowers in this city, at the St. Charles
1hotel. There were about .100 persons
present, including a number of ladies.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. Sidney Story and l)r. Leach was
the first speaker. He explained at
length the purpose of his visit here,
and referring to the letter of Surgeon
J. H. White, printed yesterday. he
made an explanation of the various
statements made against his theory.
Dr. Leach told again of his efforts to
have the federal authorities test the
arcenic theory, all of which were un
successful, although the matter had
been tested in Brazil with favorable
results.
Replying to the statement that sev
eral persons who had taken the arcen
ic tablets were now ill with yellow fev
er, Dr. Leach said he had never stat
ed that the tablets were a positive pre
ventative of the fever, but that in most
cases they served such purposes, and
in all cases persons who had taken
them suffered only a mild attack of
the fever.
Louis P. Bryant spoke at length of
the efforts made by many citizens to
have Dr. Leach's theory tested here,
and with the opposition met with on
the part of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice and the Orleans Parish Medical
Society. Mr. Bryant read the follow
ing resovutions which were adopted:
lie it resolved, That whilst we de
plore the confession of the state and
city boards of health of their inability
to control the yellow fever in our
midst, that we hereby tender our ever
lasting thanks and appreciation to the
President of the United States for hav
ing so readily come to our rescue.
Further resolved: Wehereby pledge
ourselves to support the federal health
otficers sent here by the President to
take charge of the yellow fever situa
tion, so that the very best results may
be obtained in their efforts in behalf
or our city and state from danger that
may otherwise be a menace. We ask
the people of New Orleans and the
state of Louisiana, regardless of na
tionality, to follow the directions emi
nating through orders and control of
Dr. White, of the Marine Hospital
Service. We implore the people of
New Orleans, who have not yet com
plied with the mosquito ordinance and
all other sanitary conditions, to
double their efforts in obedience there
of. We condem the men who show
any disobedience to the laws of the
city or the suggestions and work of
the U'nited States Marine Hospital
Service.
Be it further resolved, That the mo
tive of the people who assembled to
petition the Medical Society of the
parish of Orleans to lend assistanceto
the trial of the arteenization theory of
I)r. Itego Cezar, and advocated by
Dr. I. B. Leach was solely to bring
the matter to a conclusive test and
settle same once for all in the same
manner of trial that miade a fact of the
mosquito theory.
That the people herein assembled
never ment or mean now to disregard
the fact that the mosquito is a trans
mitter of yellow fever, but were and
are of the opinion that the trial of ar
Scenization can be resorted to in con
junction with other precautionary
measures accepted and taken against
the stegomyia fasciata.
A vote of thanks was tendered Dr.
Leach and the meeting adjourned af
ter adopting a resolution to the effect
that the authorities be requested to
rush to complletion the building of the
waterworks and sewerage systems,
in the construction of which. the reso
lution stated, there had been too much
delay already.--Daily States.

During the past fortnight, climatic
conditions in the sugar country were
highly propitious to rapid develop

during August shows all the 'progress

fact, the crop may be said to have
now attained such size, generally
speaking, as to leave no doubt that
the backward condition noted in the
