St. Petersburg, Aug. 28.-—Mr. Meyer, |the American ambassador, received a ! number of cablegrams from Washing- ton, as the result of which he called on Foreign Minister Liamsdorff during | the afternoon. The foreign office announced at 2 | p. m. that the situation was still un- changed. | IF PEACE IS T0 RESULT i % RUSSIA AGREES TO CERTAIN CON- CESSIONS AND JAPAN MUST DC LIKEWISE. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 28.—Presi- dent. Roosevelt's inter ion at St. IPew sburg and Tokio has not been | s ssful as yvet, but enough progress has been made to insure the prolonga- {tion of the negotiations. A certain { result has been achieved at St. Peters- | burg, but if there is eventually to be %pt‘are Japan also must change her at- {titude. The repurchase of the north- (ern half of Sakhalin island still points {the clear road to the only possible ! commercial transaction, not a state- iment for indemnity in disguise. There had not been the slightest in- (dication up to. 11 o'clock a. m. that i Emperor Nicholas would recede from |his announced determination not to {pay tribute under any form. And in {the gnarters most competent to judge {Lhere is not the slightest prospect of ia change. But if Japan would bend, “lf she would renounce formally her de- {mand for “reimbursement for the cost icf the war” by the withdrawal of the i price she sets on the northern half of Sakhalin and frankly made the propo- ‘cial basis, it is difficult to see how . Emperor Nicholas, having already ac- | ceded to the other . conditions pro- posed, could vefuse. Can Afford to Be Magnanimous. Japan, it is argued, could afford to be magnanimous to avoid wounding the sensibilities of her adversary dnd Russia could with dignity come to an accord on such a ba Japan could not obtain all she desires, perhaps, but the amount she could secure from the sale, added to what she could ob- tain from the Chinese Eastern rail- road and the maintenance of the Rus- ‘sian prisoners, would certainly cover 8 considerable portion of the cost of the war. - The frank renunciation of i the disguised claim for indemnity ‘would greatly strengthen M. Witte's position by enabling him within the (leuer of his instructions to present {acceptance of such a solution. There is reason to believe that M. Witte himself has some proposition in mind. ‘| He, s said to have stated to a friend that he held in reserve a final propo- sition which, if the Japanese refused to accept, he would make it clear to the world that Japan, not.Russia, was .| responsible for the rupture. taches was guoted as saying that tele- grams had been received from St. Petersburg, but they contained no word which would permit M. Witte to offer a counter proposition “to the Japanese compromise and that unless the Japanese had a new proposal the ' At 12 o'clock one of the Russian at- lcom’el'tsnce was doomed. { compromise, but it must be a purely | St. Petersburg, Aug. 28.—The police department has drawn up a report of the disturbances among the lLetts in the Paltic provinces which of late, ac- cording to the report, have assumed an anarchial character. Within four months in towns in the provinces of Courland and Livonia there have been four attempts on the lives of officials, four attacks on pri- vate persons, six attempts against the lives of police ofticers, three attacks on Cossack patrols and two cases in which bombs were thrown. At Riga an attempt was made to set fire to the powder stores in a cartridge fac- tory. In Mitau the rioters in one day de- stroyed the archives in nine districts, throwing pedestals and portraits of the emperor to the streets. Attempts to damage the railroad lines, the re- port says, have been numerous of late. WILL MEET ON AUG. 31. Commissioners to Negotiate Swedish- Norwegian Dissolution. Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 28.—The commissioners appointed to negotiate with regard to the dissolution of the union of Sweden and Norway have been announced as follows: For Sweden—Christian Lundeberg, the premier; Count A. P. Wachtmeis- ter, minister of foreign affairs; M. Staaf, member of the cabinet without portfolio, and M. Hammarskjold, min- ister of education and ecclesiastical affairs. For Norway—Premier Michelsen, Foreign Minister Loevland, C. C. Ber- ner, president of the storthing, and M. Vogt, former minister of the in- terior. The commissioners will hold their first meeting at Carls‘id Aug. 31. CHANGES IN THE CABINET. 8aid Cortelyou Will Succeed Shaw on Jan. 1 Next. Washington, Aug. 28.—George B. Cortelyou, it is said, will succeed Les- lie M. Shaw as secretary of the treas- ury early in the new year. Truman { H. Newberry, long slated to follow { Charles H. Darling as assistan( secre- tary of the navy and to take the office Sept. 17, may hecome postmaster gen- | eral. 7 John W. Yerkes of Kentucky, the present commissioner of internal rev- enue, will probably go into the cab- inet before the administration ends. He was the original supporter in the Republican national committee year of the president’s desire to have Cortelyou made national chairman and Roosevelt is not forgetful of strong #upport in emergencies. GOES DOWN |IN SUBMARINE. President Makes Descent on Board the Plunger. Oyster Bay, L. 1., Aug. 28.—Presi- dent Roosevelt during the afternoon made a descent in Long Island sound on board the submarine torpedo boat Plunger. He was aboard the vessel about three hours. At one time the little boat was submerged for fifty minutes>and in that time was put through all of the submarine feats ot which she is capable. The president ‘expressed his delight at the novel ex- perience and said that he was im- mensely impressed with the boat and with the manner in which she was handled. The president’s 1ntenflon not only to make a personal inspection of the tiny vessel, likely to prove so deadly in naval warfare, but ‘to make a sub- marine descent in it was reached after a conference with Lie¥enant Nelson The Plunger’'s commander explained to President Roosevelt the operations of the boat and assured him: that a trip on her and a desssnt ingo the depths of Long Island sound would be as devoid of danger as would be a trip on a New York subway express train, | forty last | IN THE NIGK OF TIME FEDEWRAL GRAND JURY AT PORT- LAND HEADS OFF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. MORE INDICTMENTS FOR LAND FRAUDS TRUE BILLS AGAINST SON OF EX-GOVERNOR THAYER AND SEVERAL OTHERS. Portland, Ore., Aug. 28.—The fed- eral grand jury investigat,ing the Ore- gon land frauds has returned true bills against Claude F. Thayer, the Tillamook capitalist, son of former Governor Thayer of this state, and several other operators. The significance of this action: is emphasized by the fact that when the indictment was returned there re- mained but six hours until the law would have been powerless to reach the crime. In September, 1899, approximately 100 persons made filings at the Oregon City land office to enter timber lands in Tillamook county, the lands being situated in the famous Nehalem val- ley. It is alleged that Claude Thayer and his associates had secured a pur- chaser and the net profits were to be divided. The allegations of fraud in the affidavits of contest which were subsequently filed led to the order for an investigation. These cases involve more money value in timber lands than all the cases which have been iried so far, 3 There have been no developments at Chicago in the police investigation ofihe murder of Mrs. E. F. Mize. ADMIT SOME [IMPROPRIETY. | Directors of Equltable Society Reply to Charges. New York, Aug. 28—The Equitable Life Assurance society has joined with the state of New York in asking for a full investigation in court of its directors and officers and their alleged wrongdoings in managing the moneys of the society. The document which announced this determination was the answer of the nine Equitable directors to charges made against them in con- nection with a suit brought against the Equitable Life Assurance society by the state. This answer was filed with Attorney General Julius M. Mayer. Admission is made that some offi- clals of the Equitable have bheen guilty of improper and illegal acts. In all thirteen charges are answered by the directors. Among these answers they admit the $250,600 loan to the Depew Improvement company. They admit the $685,000 loan of the Mercan- tile Trust company, but waive respon- sibility in this loan so far as the board of directors is concerned and indicate Messrs. Alexander, Jordan and Deming as the persons having tne most “intimate knowledge of these transactions. The charge that excessive salaries were paid to officers of the Equitable is not directly answered, but admis- sion is made that, under guise of sal- aries. excessive fees were given to certain Equitable officials who were also directors in other companies. In defense the answer states that these practices were not known to the whole board of directers. SITUATION IMPROVED. Germany Replies to French Note on Morocco. i Paris, Aug. 28.—Prince von Radolin, the GéTman ambassador, called at the foreign office during the day and de- livered to Premier Rouvier the reply jof Germany to the French note con- cerning the programme to he dis; cussed at the Morocean conference, The ambassador remained for an ex- tended dfscussion of the question, which Is considered to have somewhat improved as the resuit of Germany's reply. MAD SLAYER LEAVES A SIGN. “K. C. No. 14” Written on Cards by Brutal Murderer. Helena, Mont., Aug. 28.—Lewistown, the county seat of Fergus county, is stirred over the brutal murder there of Samuel Studinski, sixty-seven years old. Studinski was attacked when alone in his pawnshop. An axe or similar instrument was used and the victim was beaten to death. The body was found lying in a pool of blood. Pinned upon the breast was a card upon which was scrawled in the vie- tim’s blood “K. C. No. 14.” A similar card was .found on the stove. The place evidently had been robbed. The legend on the cards leads to the be- lief that a demented man was the murderer. s e e
