Mr, Witte was prepared from the beginning to accept the ar- ticle, his only objectton temg as to the form. He wanted the language at least to show that Japan intended to establish a protectorate over Kowea Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 14.—The siting of the peace conference was re- sumed Monday merning under ideal weather conditions. The excessive heat wave which has almost driven the foreigners to distraction during the first days of the conference, was broken by Sunday's storm and after a good night’s rest the plenipotentiaries and | the members of their entourage ap- peared Monday morning bright and cheerful, The change in the weather affected their tempers and as they looked out across the rippling bay, dotted with ereen islands, and shin- ning white yachts, the usual excla- mation was “how charming.” The conference began at 9:50 and the discussion being resumed on proposi- tions relating to the status of Korea, Mr. Witte continuing to urge that the language of the clause should ex- plicitely show what he contended was the true Japanese intention regarding the Hermit kingdom, namely to mak> ofit_a_province of Japan, It will be several days at the present rate of progress before either the cru- cia] points of difference is reached.

Korea which was the real bone of con- tention, Korea first the subject of an areement in 1896, Korea which formed the basis of the request for the nego- tiations preceding the war comes first. Second, it is safe to say is the evacn- ation of Manchuria, the continued oc-| cupation by which Russia, Japan claimed, threatened the independence of Korea and the safety of Japan. In support of this claim she took a leaf ont of the book of arguments used by Russia in 1895 when she was compelled by Russia, supported by France and Germany, to abandon the Liaotung peninsula and Shimonosekl treaty, or the very ground that the possession of Port Arthur and Liaotung threatened Korea's independence. These are the two main objects de- signed to “protect the safety of Japan,” for which Japan has fought. Then might come logically Port Arthur and the Liaotung leases. togatisfy the de- sire for revenge which the Japanese na- tion felton account of being despoiled, as they claimed of the frigt of their vic- tory over China in 1895.

Peace Plenipotentiaries Receive Hundreds From all Parts of the World. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug, 14.—The peace plenipotentiaries have been fair- j ly deluged with mail from all parts of the United States and now letters | are beginning to arrive from the other Hemisphere. Thousands of letters reach them each day. Most of them | | Ave addressed tothe-chiefs of the mis- { sions, Baron Komura and Mr. Witte They are of every description, friendly tenders of advices regarding the ne- gotiations, requests ‘for autographs and photographs, words of welcome. of praise, advortisments and invita- tions to various cities of the United States. The majority so far as the negotiations are concerned only ex- press the hopes of the world for peace. Numerous are the letters from pastors of churches telling of prayers for peace. Then there are the usual crank letters, No threat of a serfous nature has been received elther by Baron Ko- mura or Mr, Witte. While at, the hotel Baron Rosen is the only one of the plenipotentiaries who mingles freely with the hotel guests, although he knows few of them. The ambassador selects a cool corner on the veranda as soon as the newspapers come in and unless there is seme official business to attend to, he sits there by the hour, carefully seanning the papers and marking here and there a paragraph which at- tracts his attention. Baron Rosen is especially interested in the editortals, FATAL OHIO WRECK. | Twelve Persons Killed and 25 In- inred Near Loradn—Misonden- standing of Orders the Cause. | | Cleveland, 0., Aug. 14.—A fast east ;bound passenger train on the Nickel |Plate road collided with a westbound ‘freight train early Sunday at Kishman, |O.. near Vermillion, resultingwin the death of 12 persons, while at least 25 others were injured eight of whom will {probably die, The wreck, according jto the officials of the company was caused by a misunderstanding of or- ders, or neglect to obey them on the ‘part of the crew of the freight train, Aside from the engineer, the men killed on the passenger were all riding jin the smoking car, at the head of the ‘train and Were mostly foreign laborers in the employ of the Standard Oil company on their way from Fort Sen- eca, O., to Brookfield, O., in charge of ‘a foreman. | All of the injured victims of the | Nickel Plate wreck are now reported by the hospital authorities at Lorain jas being out of danger with the pos- sible exception of two. Norwegians Favor Disolution. Christiania, Aug. 14.—The Norwegian people in a referendum vote taken Sunday pronounced in favor of the dis- solution of the union with Sweden with iremarkable though not unexpected ‘unanimity. Of 450,000 voters, 320,000 cast ballots. While the full result will ‘not be known for some hours, up to midnight returns showed that about {one person in three thousand voted against dissolution. The difference be- tween the total number of voters and the number of votes cast is attributable to absentees such as sailors abroad and others who are out of the country at present.
