DISPOSITION OF CONVICTS.
By Associated Press.
Tokio, Aug. 7.—The disposition of the
convicts of Sakhalin island is now under
consideration. They will probably be tak;
en to the Russian coast and then be trans-
ferred to the Russian authorities. Under
prearrangement the Russian prisoners of
war on the island, forty thousand in
are being transported to Japan.

epidemics justify the expectation.
Reports from the bedside of. Archbishop
Chapel!® today report the venerable cleric
to be slightly better and Dr. Larue is ke-
gini'ing to hope the archbishop will pull,
through. Many telegrams and some cable-
grams have been received inquiring as to
the condition of the archbishoo and ex-
pressing sympathy with him.
The emergency hospital will probably
pass into the hands of- the marine hos-
pital service within the next day or two.
The hospital is amply equipped, but K is
expected that with the government in
charge the force of nurses and helpers
will be increased and will effectively re-
duce the mortality there. A considerable
majority of the deaths in the past ten
days occurred in the hospital.

Government Officials at Nome Charged
With Crooked Methods.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 7.—Advices received
in this city from Nome by the steamer
Ohio state that the people there are up
in arms against the government officials
and their alleged actions in filing upon
valuable mining claims. The Nome Nug-
get, in a long article, charges the officials
with using illegal methods and taking ad-
vantage of their position to possess them-
selves of many valuable claims which are
obtainable by relocating. The Nugget
prints comparative tables showing the
number of claims held by the government
officials and their relatives or assistants,
and also the number held by the leading
mining and business men of Nome and
vicinity. Officers of the Ohio report that
the people are greatly exercised and are
talking of drastic measures if the author-
ities at Washington do not investigate
the matter.

OLD SQL GONE TO REST.
Mr. Solon L. Gather, familiarly known
throughout south Texas and to the travel-
ing public as “Sol, the baggageman,”
passed away .at midnight last night after
a lingering Illness and an eventful life,
aged 74 years. His mortal remains were
laid to rest this morning and his many
friends mourn his departure.
For 30 years or more “Sol,” as every-
body knew him, has divided his home be-
tween Galveston and Houston while
serving as baggage checker on the trains
for a local baggage and livery company.
His daily trips on the trains between
Galveston and Houston threw him with
the traveling public and gave him an op-
portunity to study human nature. Being
of a social disposition, a good mixer and
all around entertainer, and fortified with
a most interesting life story of his own,
“Sol” made many friends and never an
enemy. Away back in the spring of his
life he was an ambitious young man and
managed to accumulate quite a fortune
and engaged in the hotel business. He
also owned considerable property In Chi-
cago before the great fire and for years
prosperity favored him. Then reverses
came and as Sol neared the autumn of
life he found himself not wealthy, but

WITTE STILL AT BOSTON.
By Associated Press.
Boston, Mass., Aug. 7.—M. Witte, the
senior Russian plenipotentiary to th® peace
conference at Portsmouth, who left the
cruiser Mayflower at Newport yesterday,
was still at his apartments at the Hotel
Touraine in this city -early today. The
hour of his departure for New Hampshire
has not been decided upon.
M. Witte did not leave his room until
nearly 9 o’clock. During breakfast the
distinguished Russian and his associate,
Mr. Wilkenkin, decided to- take an auto-
mobile ride about the city and orders were
accordingly given for a car to be placed
at the disposal of the Russians. M.
Witte was particularly anxious to visit
Harvard university and the Bunker Hill
monument, and also, if possible, Magnolia,
the north shore resort, where Baron
Rosen, the Russian. ambassador to the
United States, had been staying.

not unhappy, and he buried the past and
lived only for the present.
For the past five or six years old age
told on the badly bent form and in his
enfeebled condition his trjps over the line
became less frequent. Possessed of a re-
markable constitution, however, the old
man would not give up, and he often ex-
pressed himself as going to die in the
harness. He knew every railroad man,
every official and every trainman that
worked on the Galveston and Houston
lines for the past 30 years and they all
knew old Sol. Gifted with an excellent
memory, the old man was one of the
most interesting and entertaining mortals
one would care to find when in a reminis-
cent mood and at all times he was a
character worthy listening to. With the
young and the old he was equally popu-
lar, but. Sol always declared he was as
young as he cared to be and never half
as old as many who were twice as old as
he, and though past the three score and
tep by four years he continued to be one
of the boys. A few weeks ago he was
obliged to take to his bed and at St.
Mary’s infirmary his every wish was
gratified. With the passing day, as the
town clock sounded the midnight hour,
old Sol closed his eyes and passed to
eternal rest.
At 10.30 o’clock this morning Mr. Denia
John May died at the family home, 1415
Broadway, after a lingering Illness of some
two or three years’ duration. Mr. May
was a resident of this city since 1867, dur-<
ing which year he came from New Or-
leans, his birth place. He was 64 years of
age. For more than twenty-five years he
was a member of the plumbing firm of
May & Wainwright in this city.
Always identified with everything that
was for the benefit and advancement of
Galveston, Mr. May was a prominent
member of the old volunteer fire depart-
ment and was foreman of No. 8, and at
another time foreman of Lee No. 5. He
was married in Galveston in 1868 and the
family have lived in this city ever since.
The deceased was water commissioner at
the time of the building of the new water
works plant, and during his whole life
was noted for his honesty and square
dealing with every person. Few in Gal-
veston, whether old or young, but what
knew Mr. May to some extent.
He was a member of Company H, Twen-
tieth Louisiana Volunteers, in the Confed,
erate army during the civil war and
served with distinction. In Galveston ha
was identified with Camp Magruder,
Knights of Honor and Odd Fellows. All of
these lodges will be represented at the
funeral which will take place from, the
Sacred Heart church, of which the de-
ceased was a member. Father Murphy
will officiate. The other funeral announce,
ments will be made at a later time. Mr.
May died surrounded by his family and
Father Murphy, consoled by the religion
in which he had a profound belief.
He is survived by the widow and two
children, a son Edward, a well known law-
yer of this city, and a daughter, Annie.

New York, N. Y., Aug. 7.—According to
Brig. Gen. Arsene Perrilliatt, chief of
ordnance of Louisiana, it will be five days
before New Orleans will face a crisis in
the yellow fever situation. Gen. Peril-
liatt arrived here from the south last
night.
“New Orleans is suffering more from
commercial anxiety,” said he, “but resi-
dents of the city feel that the health
officials and the various committees,
aided by the Federal authorities, will
cope with the fever. In the meantime
business in that section of the state is
still at a standstill.
“Unfair discrimination is being made
against Louisiana by other states and her
commercial interests are suffering in con-

About 1300 People Brought in From
Antonio and Fort Worth.
The excursions from San Antonio
Fort Worth yesterday brought into Gal-
veston some 1200 or 1300 strangers, accord-
ing to the record kept at the Business
League bureau of information at the de-
pot. None of this number were crowded
onto any special train, however, and they
arrived in much smaller crowds to sact-
ter over the city for a day’s outing.
Last night the attraction was the fire-
works at the beach and the strangers as
well as the native Galvestonians congre-
gated at that point in considerable force
as the time for the pyrotechnic display
neared. For a free attraction of the size
which is intended the exhibition was a
grand and overwhelming- success. The
display on the whole was decidedly pleas-
ing and speaks well for Secretary Gardner
of the Business League, and the manipu-
lator. Last evening two set pieces in par-
ticular were free from any criticism. They
were the floral fountain and the eagle and
shield. Both were greeted with a burst
of applause. Not a hitch was noticeable
In the entire program.
The excursion tickets being good until
this evening a large number of the
strangers have remainded over and can
be seen upon almost every street in the
city. Most of them, however, have been
seeking pleasure and not business. The
wharves and Gulf thus far have been ths
greatest points of attraction.

New Orleans, La., Aug. 7.—With $70,000
immediately in hand resulting from the
Bradstreet assessment on the citizens of
New Orleans, no difficulties whatever
stand in the way of immediate inaugur-
ation of federal control of the fever sit-
uation.
Dr. White has estimated the total ex-
penses for eradication at $1500 to $2000 a
day, or from $180,000 to $240,000 for the
four months, which will carry the cam-
paign into December, by which time frost
may be expected.
There is therefore available enough mon-
ey to go forward with the federal plans
at a high pressure for a month or six
weeks, and long before that time he has
been assured by Mayor Behrman and
Chairman Janvier of the citizens’ commit-
tee that the total $250,000 asked by the
government will be in his hands.
If complete success crowns the work,
the marine hospital' bureau thinks is pos-
sible that the fever will b@ completely un-
der control by the 15th if September, with-
out requiring the expenditure of the max-
imum fixure which is asked for from the
city to stamp out the disease.
The federal bureau is assured that ade-
quate police power will be given the
marine hospital surgeons to aid them in
their scientific work. Dr. White has made
an examination of the municipal laws, in-
cluding the mosquito ordinance, and de-
clares they are sufficient for his purposes.
Chairman Janvier of the citizens’ commit-
tee will put his force at the disposal of
Dr. White and disburse the general funds
under the direction of Dr. White. The
engines of the fire department are to be
made available in flushing and other
cleaning work that may be demanded.
Local politics is to cut no figure what-
ever in the situation, and the government
is to have full authority and discharge
whomsoever it pleases. Efforts are to be
made to assist in getting the most reliable
labor available. On the other hand, in
addition to the work that is to be don®
here, it is expected that all the resources
of the federal government will be used in
obtaining a modification of the extreme
quarantine regulations that are now in
effect, so New Orleans will be able to re-
sume commercial relations with surround-
ing states.
The good effect of federal control is al-
ready evidenced in th® favorable view
of the situation which is shown by inter-
views with health authorities in the near-
by states, and it is thought that little dif-
ficulty will be encountered in securing a
modification of the restrictions againsa
freight. The Louisiana parishes are al-
ready becoming more reasonable and some
of . them are announcing their willingness
to receive goods from this city. With a
revival of business New Orleans can more
readily furnish all the money needed by
the government.
Eight hundred men started in today on
.the general cleaning movement, and this
force will be largely added to tomorrow
and Wednesday when the general suspen-
sion of business for cleaning purposes oc-
curs. Vigorous sanitary and preventive
measures are under way in the old French
market infected region, and fire engines
and steam disinfection plants are being
used in a ruthless crusade against mos-
quitoes.
The fact that there was a slight fall in
the number of new cases and no increase
in the number of deaths and a marked
diminution in the number of new foci
within the preceding 24 hours has had a
maiked effect on the spirits of th® com-
munity and confidence is growing that

Surgeon White and His Marine Hospital
Corps Ready for Work.
By Associated Press.
New Orleans, La., Aug. 7.—Though with-
out official orders formally ordering him
to assume charge Dr. White is preparing
to take control of the fever situation dur-
ing the day. He early today Visited the
Mate board of health and subsequently
the city board of health and talked over
with President Kohnke and Souchon the
details of the work under Federal super-
vision. Dr. White will have the city
board of health continue to receive re-
ports of new cases and deaths under his
direction until the staff has been organ-
ized by marine hospital service.
Dr. White notified Sheriff Marrero of
Jefferson parish that he would Include
Jefferson parish in with New Orleans for
the purposes of his work here. Jefferson
lies partly on the opposite bank of the
river and partly above New Orleans on
the city side and is in constant communi-
cation with New Orleans. There have
been a number of cases there and some
deaths, all the sickness being traceable
to New Orleans. Another death occurred
in Jefferson today. It was an Italian
who had gone from New Orleans to the
Bell plantation.
Two deaths occurred early today in the
emergency hospital. Both vere Italians.
In yesterday’s list of twenty-eight new
