Roosevelt's proposition looking to an agree
ment of peace.
Emperor Nicholas has communicated to
the president through Ambassador Meyer
at St. Petersburg his response to Mr.
Roosevelt's latest suggestions. That re
sponse was received by the president today.
Its specific terms are not disclosed here.
It Is known, however, that Russia declines
to pay te Japan an indemnity In any
amount or In. any form.
Whether the decision of the Russian em
peror will destroy remaining prospecta of
an agreement of any sort between the rep
resentatives of. Russia and Japan remains
yet to be determined. The crisis, as In
dicated In the dispatches last night, prob
ably will be reached next Monday after
noon, to which time the peace conferees
today adjourned The Russian emperor has
spoken. It remains now for the emperor
of Japan to decide whether further con
cessions shall be made or whether lnded
the conference at Portsmouth shall con
tinue longer In Us efforts to find a basis
of agreement between the powers.
As heretofore Indicated, the president has
communicated directly not only with the
Russian emneror. but also with the Japa
nese government. It la not revealed
whether It is his intention further to com
municate with Japan, but It Is quite cer
tain that he will not relinquish his hope
of a peaceful adjustment of the pending
differences until the final dissolution of the
conference.
Roavler Confers with Jusserand.
PARIS, Aug. 26. Premier Rouvler had a
long talk at the Foreign office today with
M.. Jusserand, ambassador to the United
States. Its nature has not been disclosed,
but It Is presumed that It related to Ameri
can affairs and to the general status of the
negotiations at Portsmouth. However, the
government Is not giving any outward
signs of activity In connection with the
peaoe oonfeivnee, owing to the sensitive
ness of French relations with Russia. In
formation from officials at St. Petersburg
how that Ambassador Meyer's meeting
with the emperor lasted only ten minutes
and wis riot productive of notable results.
The brevity of the meeting Is looked upon
as an unfavorable sign. Nevertheless,
. government circles believe that Russia's
Inability to raise more money for war
purposes will prove a decisive factor In
compelling the conclusion of peace. Blnee
the French bankers recently refused a new
loan on account of the uncertainties of the
war their attitude has become more un
compromising against a prolongation of the
struggle. This Is due to the dangers of
depression In the enormous French hold
ings of Russian securities should the war
ro on Indefinitely. Therefore, since the
Paris money market Is practically cut off
for more war funds. It Is the view In the
highest quarters that peace has strong
chances of realization through tho financial
Inability of Russia to continue the war.
The Bourse today became sensitive
over unfavorable reports from Portsmouth,
Russians declining 60 centimes and bonds
of 1904 losing a franc. The market closed
week owing to the depression In Russian
securities.
Asks Rockefeller to ray Jap Bill.
PARIS, Auft. 28. Owing to the reports
from Portsmouth Indicating that the ques
tion of peace between Russia and Japan
hinges solely on Russia paying an Indem
nity to Japan, tho Matin has cabled tonight
a remarkable appeal to John D. Rockefeller
at Cleveland. O. The apjcal In part fol
lows: The question of money threatens to un
loosen afresh and with redouhled violence
the scourge of war. President Roosevelt
Is making noble and heroic efforts to end a
struggle oetween two nations whose popu
lations amount to one-seventh of the entire
population of the globe. His Initiative
honors America In the opinion of civilised
nations.
The question arises as to whether another
American would not share the glory-of Mr.
Roosevelt and complete his work by over
coming the sole obstacle now hindering
peace. He would thus demonstrate the
might of money In powerful and generous
bands.
The Matin constituting Itself spokesman
for this sentiment addresses the richest cltl
sen In the world.
The appeal concludes with lengthy argu
ments showing the Immense benefits such
an aot would confer upon civilisation.
CLEVELAND. O.. Aug. M.-Mr. Rocke
feller declined to make any-statement to
night regarding the cablegram from the
Paris Matin, which was received early In
the evening at Forest Hill, his summer
residence.

Expert Increase In September.
Kxctpt In ISM September has been tho
month yielding the largest number of fatnll

the federal authorities are therefore taking
steps to maintain their control of the sit
uation. September frequently brings In
creased precipitation, causing stagnant
pools of water, the overflow of cisterns snd
destruction of the effects of oiling. An In
crease In deaths over the past few days was
recorded In the report of the past twenty
four hours Is regarded as without signifi
cance, most of .the victims being among
the foreign classes and two of the deaths
having occurred yesetrday too late to be In

The number of tourists In Sweden this
year Is greater than It has been In the his
tory of the country. This Is largely due
to the magnificent tourist route Stockholm
to North cape, via the new railway to Nar
vik on the Norwegian coast, and from
there the remaining short distance to the
North cape by steamer. Thera la a luxuri
ous through train running from Stockholm
to Narvik, called the "Lapland Express,"
with dining cars and sleepers, and parlor
cars and observation cars all on the Amer
ican style of extravagance, although the
fare Is ridiculously cheap. This route gives
the traveler a chance to view the beauties
of the north of Sweden and to travel
through the great Iron mine districts, where
the Iron ore lies In veins 600 feet wide In
some places and In others shoots up In
high mountains of solid and pure ore.
With a few millions of American gold to
work these vast deposits the, northern part
of Sweden would be the richest part of the
world. Alaska wouldn't be In It at all.
Norway's New Ruler.
It has several times bean Insinuated that
Not way would look elsewhere for a king
If Sweden would not give her a prince of
the Bernadotte dynasty. After his many
objections to this candidacy, the king has
left It all to the Swedish people, that Is to
say to the next extra session of the
Riksdag. It haa of late been decided that
Not way will ask the Danish Prince Carl
to accept the Norwegian throne if It la Im
possible to get a Swedish prince, and this
choice Is said to be supported by the
kaiser and King Edward providing that no
Swedish prince can be had, but It is said
that Ihese monarchs would prefer to see
our Swedish Prince Carl on the Norwegian
throne. Our Prince Carl has a Danish
wife, which ought 16 be enough to make
Denmark satisfied with his choice aa Nor
wegian king. Should an unmarried Ber
nadotte prince be chosen, there will be
room for unpleasantness snd dissatisfac
tion when he comes to chose a wife. If
a Danish prince should ascend the Nor
wegian throne, however, there would be
plenty of opportunity for political in
trigues Russia and Denmark stand very
nar to each other, and Germany always
barks Denmark and thus there will never
be the same peace and feeling of security
In Swenden If a Dane sits, on the Nor
wegian throne as If a Swedish prince occu
pied It.
Treaty with Germany.
The Commercial Treaty association of
Berlin has handed in a petition to Prince
L Buelow. LU " - uwuv,
questing the making of a special commer
cial and customs treatv with Sweden. A
similar petition was handed in In July
19, but since then other wishes have been
expressed. The present petition Is signed
by sixty-nine rhambers of commerce and
fifty-seven Industrial associations. The
petition proposes, among other things, a
reduction of the customs duties on many
Swedish commodities which are largely im
ported Into Germany, Including paving
stone. Joinery products and timber. The
petition poitita out the Importance of these
Swedish commodities in the economy of
Germany and euggests the negotiation of
reduced Swedish customs on similar com
modities Imported from Oermany into
Sweden.
At the great International congress of
Good Templars lately held at Belfast, Ire
land, a Swede, Mr. Edward Wawrlnsky
of Stockholm, was elected president of the
International Order of Oood Templars.
He Is director of an Insurance company
and member of the Riksdag. If we take
Into consideration that the Oood Templar
order In Sweden has a membership of 164,
434, while all the Oood Templaf orders of
the world only have a total membership
of 616,000, It cxnnot be wondered at that
Sweden should be recognlied by chostng
from her membership a president for the
International order. The new president
has also spent much time traveling and
studying In America.
Queer Incident at Gothenburg-.
At the king's last visit to Gothenburg,
the largest city In Sweden next to Stock
holm, flags were displayed from nearly
every house In the city In honor of our
aged and much beloved monarch. All con
sulates of foreign powers vied with each
other In producing the most elaborate and
costly decorations as expressions of sym
pathy for the Swedish king all but one,
namely, the American consulate. A feeling
of disappointment, mingled with conster
nation, filled the hearts of the loyal Swedes,
and the king cast disapproving eyes on
the empty flagstaff of the American lega
tion. Not a thread of bunting or other
decoration could be discovered on the whole
house wheie the American consulate was
situated. What could It mean? Had Presi
dent Roosevelt forbidden the consul to
display his flag at the visit of the king?
Was this to be regarded as a demonstra
tion against Sweden In the present crisis?
No, this was thought almost too bad to
believe. At last the explanation was
found the American consul In Gothenburg
was a Norwegian by birth.
This Incident has aroused a great deal
of very bud feeling throughout the whole
country. A leading Gothenburg paper
says, among other things: "The fact that
Consul Bcrgh Is a Norwegian by birth
ought not to have anything to do with
this matter. He should remember that he
Is an American consul In a Swedish city,
and this being the case it ought not to
make any difference whether he was born
In Norway, Madagascar or Patagonia.
There Is something called common, simple,
popular decency, which a consul muBt pos
sess, no matter where he Is born."
In another paper the next day Consul
Bergh defends himself by saying that he
never thought of demonstrating; how could
any sensible person for a moment believe
him to be such a fool. The whole matter
was due to oversight. His clerk was en
joying a vacation and he was consequently
so overwhelmed with work that he could
rot possibly find time to read the news
papers, and therefore he had no knowledge
of the arrival of the king.
Another Side to Story.
This episode reminds us of a similar
case. Mr. Victor E. Nelson of California,
ex-consul at Bergen, Norway, was a native
of Gothenburg, 8weden, and a gentleman,
urbane and accommodating, as is also Con
sul Bergh of Gothenburg, but he was a
Swede by birth, and was appointed Ameri
can consul In a Norwegian city. What
happened? Why, blood is thicker than
water, as the saying "eToes, and while he
executed his duties as consul ably and
satisfactorily he was compelled to resign
his position because he did not please the
Norwegians. A feeling of dislike was en
gendered by the mere fact that he was a
Swede by birth, snd this feeling grew and
became so acute that the good people of
Bergen hardly knew anything too mean
to say about Mr. Nelson. He was perse
cuted In every Imaginable way, and dis
reputable stories were published in the
newspapers about him. He was even ac
cused of embezsllng funds entrusted In his
care by the American government and in
tended for pensioners, or something similar,
and the fact that he secured a certificate
to the contrary from the State department
and proved himself entirely innocent did
not help matters In any way. He had to
resign. Now he has brought a legal ac
tion against the New York Herald (Paris
edition) for libel. The first hearing will
be In October next.

FOUR DIE IN HOTEL FIRE
Search of Ruins Results In DIscoTery
of Burnlnsr of Summer
Guests.
READFIELD. Me., Aug. 26.-Four per
sons lost their lives early today In a fire
which destroyed the Maranacook hotel at
I.ake Maranacook.
Four other persons were burned or other
wise Injured.
The hotel management believes the bod
ies are those of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Martin
and child of Boston, for the reason that
all the other guests have been locnted and
the bodies corresponded with theirs.
Over four score guests and employes es
caped In night attire, many leaping from
the windows. That there had been loss
of life was not known until a search, of
the ruins during the forenoon revealed the
charred bodies.
The Injured:
Mrs. George S. Haanom. Boston rio-ht loo-
broken, nnklt sprained and back Injured.
W. J. MaxwvJI, Brooklyn. N. Y.. ankle
sprained.
The fire, which Is supposed to have been
caused by a defectlvo chimney, spread rap
Idly through the two and one-balf stories
of the wooden structure.
Clerk Boutwell discovered the flames and,
rushing through the enrrireors, aroused all
the guests. In doing this, however, he was
seriously burned. None of the guests
saved their personal effects and many of
them 'were unconscious by the time they
had reached the open air. Nearby cot
tagers provided clothing and shelter for
the guests, and physicians, summoned
from Wlnthorp and Readfield, attended the
burned and injured.
Clerk Boutwell later died of his Injuries,
making four known deaths.
Later the fact was established that the
dead were J. H. Martin, who was connected
with the grm of Leopold, Morse & Co., of
Boston, Mrs. Martin and their 10-year-old
son.

Is your health shattered, your vitality exhausted, snd are you crushed un
der the depressing burden of some secret weakness or wasting disease? Private
diseases and weaknesses of men are their worst enemies. They produce start

humiliating to know that your manly strength Is slipping away to know there
Is some private disease or weakness lurking In the system, and realise that
your nervous system Is tottering under the strain. Perhaps you no longer en
joy your dully labors or duties; your nights are restless and unrefreshlng, and
each day ou realize more and more your physical lmpdlmeirts and weak
nesses, and you have neither the strength or ambition to maintain your posi
tion among your fellowmen. i
While It Is terrible to be in this condition. It Is still worse to allow such
trouble to progress and make still more serious Inrouds upon the constitution,
for it would then fill your whole life with failure, misery and woe. We have
devoted many yeHrs exclejaively to treating this class of diseases, attended with
the greatest success, and have gladdened the hearts of thousands of young and

Loose Garments, tililna Freedom and
!' Are the Fashion.
The following s an open letter to the
cltltens of Omaha fnm this city's most
fashionable tailor. In which he gives the
public some valuable Information on the
fall and winter styles of men's clothing:
"In regnrd to the styles and cloths to be
used this fall I would say: The general
make-up of nun's clothes for the coming
season will be loose. The mode of rutting
and making men's coats and overcoats
with freedom and ease Is not a "fad," but
the direct result of necessity. In order to
obtain more comfort for the wearer and
longer life for the garment. Full chested,
broad, easy shoulders and draped bodies,
not close fitting, ate the sensible, as well
as the fashionable garments of today, and
when shaped carefully to lit the neck and
shoulders of the man who Is to a ear them,
are Idenl In every respect.
Blacks and blues always occupy a con
spicuous place among the fabrics used for
men's suits this season perhaps, more es
pecially so, than for many past seasons.
Dark blue serges, especially the better
grades, absolutely free from cotton, promise
to be a great favorite for the coming fall
and winter season. Unfinished worsteds
and goods of that character, we make Into
garments that should be found In every
man's wardrobe.
Our entire line of medium priced cloths
are casslmeres and cheviots and are fash
ioned Into fancy designs by tho use of silk
for decorations. Large plaids In fabrics
of this character will be much In evidence
for the coming senson. The medium
priced, hard faced worsteds that we show
ate made by the best mills In the busluess.
The fabric Is nil wool with the exception
of the color threads that are used for
decoration, which are mercerltrd. Our
higher priced cloths are almost entirely
hard faced worsteds, the decorations bolne;
entirely fancy worsted threads and silk,
absolutely free from uitton.
The "Brown Tad'' of last season has
been toned down to brown mixture and
fabrics with brown decorations, and green
shades and styles with green decorutlons,
and solid Brays, narrow and broad weave,
have been introduced as the new color
designs for the fall and winter season of
1905 and
