Portsmouth, Aug. 16. — Although very rapid progress was made with the peace negotiations yesterday, three of the 12 articles which constitute the Japanese conditions of peace having been agreed to by Mr. Witte and Baron Rosen on behalf ol Russia, neither of the two articles to which Mr. Witte in bis reply returned an absolute negative was reached. The crisis, therefore, is still to come. It may be reached to day, as the cession of Sakhalin comes fifth in the list. The three “ articles found,” as they are officially designat ed in the brief communications author ized to be given to the press, which were disposed of yesterday, are in sub stance as follows: First— Russia’s recognition of Ja pan’ s “ preponderating influence” and special position in Corea, which Russia henceforth agrees is ontBide of her sphere of influence, Japan binding her self to recognize the suzerainty of tht reigning family, but with the right to give advice and assistnace to improve the civil administration of the empire. Second— Mutual obligation to evacu ate Manchuria, each to surrender all special privileges in that province, mu tual obligation to respect the “ territo rial integrity” of China and to main- tain the principle of equal rights of j[all nations to that piovince (the open door). Third— The cession to China of the Chinese Eastern railway from Harbin southward. There was never any question about the acceptance on the part of Mr. Witte of these articles, the first two covering in more emphatic form the contention of Japan in the diplomatic struggle which preceded hostilities.

Chrisitana, Norway, Aug. 15. — The Norwegian people, in a referendum vote, have pronounced in favor of the dissolution of the anion with Sweden with rémarkable, though not unex pected, unanimity. Of 450,000 voters, 320,000 cast ballots. W hile the full result w ill not be known for some time, up to midnight returns show that abont one person in 3,000 voted against disso lution. The difference between the total number of voters and the number of votes cast is attributable to abeent- ess, such as sailors abroad and others who are out of the country at present. There were scenes of the greatest en thusiasm everywhere. Thousands of women who did not have the right of franchise signed petitions in the stieets indorsing the dissolution. In Christ iana and other towns, the entire popu lation turned out, every one wearing long streamers of the national colors and pitures of Premier Michelsen. One of the members of the cabinet said to the Associated Press: “ The result surpasses the most san guine expectations. The next official steps w ill be taken after the storthing meets, August 21, when the result of the vote w ill be communicated to the Swedish government. The storthing w ill repeat the request that the riks dag declare the riksakt in operation and the union dissolved. “ The storthing w ill also express a willingness to negotiate concerning the details of the dissolution. “ I t is the earnest desire of Norway to conclude the dissolution amicably. Norway will never retract, hut every thing w ill he done to meet the wishes of Sweden in other directions. “ If peace depends npon abolishing the forts they w ill be abolished. Nor way must remain a monarchy. The people do not desire a republic.” T Y P H O ID IN W A S H IN G T O N . M a ny N e w C a se s and R apid D ue to B ad W a te r. S p re a d Washington, Ang. 15.— Twenty-nine new cases of typhoid fever and two deaths from the disease were reported to the health officers today. The out break has passed in severity that of 1903, when the greatest number of per sons under treatment for the disease at any one time was 224, and it had spread rapidly. Health officials are bending every effort to fight the die- • ease, including a house-to-house in spection of back yards and ceMars with a view to remedying unsanitary condi tions. One bed of the new filtration plant will be opened probably tomorrow, thus reducing to that extent the danger from typhoid fever and other disease germe which, it is believed, comee from drinking unfiltered water.
