Mr, Witte personally, it {s believed, sympathizes with sueh’ a so- lution and would not be averse to a genuine redemption as he recognizes the de facto possession of the island by Japan and her claim to reimbursement for its relinquishment. If the meeting Monday of the Tokio cabinet and elder statesmen under the presidency of the emperor sanctions some such new pre- posal as there is reason to believe it will, the proposition world seem to be so fair that Emperor Nicholas eonld not refuse without assuming before the world the respor tv of continuiny attitude, The anan disploved in hor compromise pronesal of Wednes \ day, if now emohasized by a still fur- thor recession. is apt to he internreted lat St, Peterstrrg asa symptom of areat erve to make at Poter- hoa vol conciliatory sr | preposition } onea more assert | his own me : , seale, ment between Witte and Tak«ahira. | — At noon Mr. Takahira sald that noth- | Torte. 4 “~ ee ing had yet been received from Tokio. in - ; = 1 itis latest The peace conference {s likened to a aaa Hien ' ie Portsmouth, but 8 fying man kept alive by oxygen ad- | * Nie gah : .

What mav have been only a slip of the tongue from Mr .Witte was so interpreted. Speaking of the final decision of the Tokio government he remarked upon the 14 hour difference between Oyster Bay and Tokio, but then hastily cor- rected himself and said, “New York and Tokio,” certainly the president has not initfated new representations at Peterhoff.

ARMY OF SPECIAL AGENTS IN FIELD Have Authority to Make all Sorts of Cuts in Prices to Secure a Monopoly of Trado —Reduetion of Three Cents & Gallon on Ol and Two Cents on Gasoline Already Made. Tariff Revision Demand Emphatic. Chicago, Aug.28.—The Reciprocity Convention here passed reso™ lutions asking Congress to appoint a commission to revise the tariff. Lack of reciprocity with foreign nes tions was attributed to the present deplorable condition of American commerce, Gov. Cummings captured the convention when he said in his address: “Reciprocity has been damned with faint praise and with false friends’ long enough. The time has come to unmask so that the people may know who stand for and who stand against this doctrine. The friends of reciprocity, the advocates of reciprocity have passed through years of depression and discourage- ment simply because it has been coddled in conventions and crucified in Congress. It has been eulogized inthe abstract and condemned in the concrete. And the hour has ar- rived when it is fair to ask those whe are hostile to the policy to avow it; and Iam gratified beyond measure that in the course of this struggle there appears to be some sign now that those who fight it will come out in the open,” Topeka, Kan., Aug. 28.—The Stan- dard Oil company has started out to crush “the independent oil refineries now, beginning operations in Kansas. An army of special agents has been placed in the field, with authority to make all sorts of cuts in prices in orcer to secure a monopoly in the trade. The agents are working in the territory where the independents expect to de velop their trade. Already one cut has been made and others are threatened. Within the past week the Standard has dropped three cents a gallon on oil and two cents on gasoline, It was getting 11'y cents for oi] and 134; cents for gaso- line. No recent drop in the crude justifies the drop in refined. Asked why it happened, one of the special agents said: “It is due to a saving In freight rates. You see, we used to base our prices here on the price of oil at Cleveland, plus the freicht rates. Now we ship from Kaneas City and can therefore, save the fretght from Cleveland to Kansas City.” “But vou made a reduction once be fore when the Kansas City refinery opened up and gave the s: me reason,” “Is that eo?” queried the agent, with a smile, “Well, that ts the reason IT was told to give, anyhow, and when you work for the Standard = you must do and say what it tells you to” STRIKE TO BE GENERAL.
