i\ S S—— GIVE ANSWER To JAPANESE The Russian R'eply to Japan’s Terms Delivered This Morning---Not Like- ly That War Will End. Portsmouth, N, H., Aug. 12— The meeting of the peace confer- ence this morning lasted only a little over an hour. The Russian reply was delivered by M. Witte, and the session adjourned to give the J. a.panesp envoys an oppor- tunity to examine the document. The Japs agreed to make their response at 3 o’clock this after- noon or at the same hour tomor: rOwW. St. Petersbureg, Aug. 12,—The dispatches from Portsmouth make it clear that unless there is a very substantial abatement of the demands of the Japanese plenipotentiaries, which is un- likely, the peace conference will come to a sudden conclusion. The two nations are ‘so ‘wide apart that all hope of an agree. ment is abandoned here. I[tis probable that the next session willend ina final adjournment and M. Witte may sail for Europe very shortly. REABY TO WORK ON THIS END Engineer Arrives to Take Charge of the Crew for Bemidiifl)etroit Line. Engireer Sydney B.

Adam Bede has started agitation here to have the reservoirs at the headwaters of the Mississippi river turned over to the state of Minnesota. He broached the subject to Gen- eral Mackenzie, chief of engi- neers, early this spring, and took | it up again at the war depart- ment today. *The suggestion has | been favorably received, but there is a question as to how the transter can be brought about. Mr. Bede expects to perfect plans for the transfer within the next few months, which he will present to congress, and he hopes the matter will be dis- cussed in Minnesota so that the sentiment of the people can be determined., l Northern League I lests along the river.

IN AN ASYLUM ~ Promoter of New Zion City at Hines Spur Reported as Being Insane. Tenstrike Tribune: It may be of interest to many people of Bel- trami county to learn the where- abouts of Wm. Hines, also known as Jabez Hines, who was the prime mover of Zion City ‘project at Hines Spur. From here Hines | went to the state of Washington where he also endeavored to istart a colony. We are reliably linformed that Mr. Hines is at present confined jn an'asylum at Tacoma, Washington, where he was committed on July 28, It was the belief of a good many people here that Hines was not in his right mind while here. . The advantages of having the reservoirs in possession of the state and their operation entire- ly in ‘the hands of the state’s according to Bede, are that they can be operated for the benefit of the various inter- For the manufacturer in Minneapolis, to maintain navigation below the tWwin cities, and to protect manu- facturers along the upper river Fargo 5, Crookston 2. at Grand Rapids and Aitkin, AT SPOONER Inspired by Demon Whiskei' Father Makes Assault on his Daughter. LYNCHING IS THREATENED BY THE CITIZENS. o : Man Bore an Unsavory Reputa- tion and was Suspected of/ Murder. . A Beaudette special to the St. Paul Dispatch, relative to Ji, B. Montague a former resulem of Crookston says: J. B. Montague twice a.ssaulted his 17 year old daughter Mabel and after the assaults struck and otherwise abused her. Montague is a carpenter, and with his wife and family, of whom Mabel is the oldest child has lived in Spooner about a year. He bears a bad reputation and is reported to have neglected and abused his family. He was drunk ‘| at the time of the crime. A war- rant has been issued here in Beaudette. At the time of the Gannon mur- der at this place, Gannon, in his aati-mortem - statement, impli- cated Montague in that crime, but the evidence at the inquest cleared him. ) Today’s crime was committed while Mrs Montague and daugh- ter were picking-berries. Mon- tague, who was intoxicated, wait- ed until they were separated and then assaulted the daughter. The people here at Spooner were greatly aroused and a lynching would certainly have occurred had not the advice of the cooler heads prevailed. There is much excited talk and Montague’s life is none too safe uow. Thedelay in making ithe arrest is due to the absence of a. justice in Spooner, No warrant could be issued there and there was some delay in finding an offi- cer here. Montague, the accused, was for a number of years a resident of Crookston being engaged at his trade, that of carpentry, there. He left for the Beaudette and Rainy: River country several years ago and last year was elected 'to the town' board of Beaudette. Montague was brought to Be- midji last night by Sheriff Bailey and the accused man/is now con- fined at the county jail awaiting preliminary examination.
