A poem to him by Alfred Austin forms just at present the fly in White- law Reid’s ointment. Rockefeller has cornered all the oils except castor oil. The castor bean is holding out defiantly. A man’s name is often very attrac- tive to a woman—except for the man that goes along with it. Of course the aeronauts are making progress, but the future of aerial navi- gation is still all in the air. A man in St. Louis shot himself dead because he couldn't sleep. In- somnia will worry him no more, The English papers speak feelingly ot “Dr. Osler of Chicago university.” This evens things up, and all is now forgiven. Charity covers a multitude of sins, but it’s too much to ask of us to tch it over those who commit mes in its name. Even Russell Sage has to have a birthday once a year, unwarrantable though he may feel it to be to indulge in them so frequently. We can readily believe the doctor who says there are no good mosqui toes. ven dead ones are generally mussy and undesirable. The man who sold his wife for $5 and his furniture for $50 would bring one-ten-thousandth of a cent if he were sold at auction. A Pennsylvania woman coughed up two frogs the other day. There will be no excuse for her if she ever gets hopping mad after this. “Next to whisky,” says a physician, “mosquitoes are mankind’s greatest curse.” Did you know that mosquitoes bad got next to whisky? Nobody who knows Wizard Burbank will believe for one moment tnat he had anything to do with the evolution of the California raisin trust. Secretary Wilson says the cotton scandal was started by a bull, a bear and a woman. Of course it couldn’t get along without a woman in it. Speaking of heroism, the dociors and nurses who are volunteering for service in the yellow fever belt ought to come in for honorable mention. To sell a gold brick to the smart set is not so uncommonly funny. There are fads and fancies in humbleér life for parting the fool and his money. Harper’s Weekly predicts that soon it will be considered bad form to be wicked. It is so considered now— unless there’s at least a million in it. Our modern grafters will get after Prof. Shepardson if he tries to class them with the grafters of a century ago, who were mere pikers at the game. “When,” asks the London World, “does a woman look her best?” We have heard of men who would be mean enough to answer: “When her lips are closed.” By getting herself elected school trustee Mrs. Mackay shows the other New York society women that there is a better way of gaining fame than by giving monkey dinners. Judging by the sample cabled, Alfred Austin’s poem against the un- preparedness of the British army for war is quite down to the usual stan- dard of England's poet laureate. It is encouraging to see that the decision of a New York hotel manage- ment, ousting dogs from the hostlery, is tempered by the gracious permis- sion that “a few babies” may remain. Public opinion probably will sustain the Massachusetts judge who says that umbrellas are private property. They are anybody’s private property, according to many persons who see them lying around. Whenever an auto accident occurs the explanation is made that the chauffeur did not purposely do the damage. Certainly; when a man is scorching he does not have time to plan every twist of the wrist. Nat Goodwin has, it appears, been arrested through a practical joke by “his friend” Jimmy Britt, prize fight- er. Britt is not to be complimented on the quality of his humor, nor Good- win on the quality of his friends. Japan’s tea crop is a partial failure this year. The suspicion is that the mikado’s illustrious ancestor$ have been too busy assisting in the conduct of the war to pay their accustomed at- tention to the agricultural interests of the empire. An Italian and his wife have made $7,000 grinding a hand organ in New York, and with this fortune will re- tire to Italy. What a blessing it would be if we could induce every organ grinder to retire for so tee con ficant a sum. AeeCATINIC DARE » | LONG, BLOODY WARTS ENDED TERMS OF PEACE ARE SETTLED BY MR. WITTE AND BARON KOMURA. JAPS YIELD POINTS ‘IN ISSUE WITH MAGNANIMITY OF VICTORS * THEY GIVE UP EVERYTHING FOR PEACE. RUSSIANS WILDLY JUBILANT CLAIM DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPH, BUT MORAL TRIUMPH IS JAPAN'S. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 30. — The long and bloody war between Japan and Russia is ended. The terms of peace were settled by Mr. Witte and Baron Komura at the session of the conference yesterday morning, and yesterday afternoon preliminary ar- rangements for an armistice were concluded and the actual work of framing the “Treaty of Portsmouth” was by mutual agreement turned over to Mr. De Maartens, Russia’s great in- ternational lawyer, and Mr. Dennison, who for twenty-five years has acted as the legal advisor of the Japanese for- eign office. The treaty is expected to be completed by’ the end of the week. End Sudden and Dramatic, This happy conclusion of the confer- ence, which a week ago would have been shipwrecked had it not been for the heroic intercession of President Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic. For the sake of peace Japan, with the magnanimity of a victor, at the last moment yielded everything still in issue. Ru 1 refused to budge from the ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had given to President Roosevelt through Sepa Meyer. No indemnity under guise, bu nh agreement to ain’ Beinn and reimburse Japan for the maintenance of the Russian prisoners were his last words. They had been repeatedly reiterated in Mr. Witte’s instructions and in the form of a reply to the Japanese Compromise proposai of last Wednesday they were delivered to Baron Komura yesterday morning. Mr. Witte went to the con- ference declaring he was powerless to change the dot of an i, or the cross of a tin his instructions. Emperor Nicholas’ word had been given not only to him but to President Roose- velit, the head of a foreign state. When Baron Komura, therefore, first offercd the new basis of compro- mise, the complete renunciation of in- demnity, coxpled with a proposition for the redemption of Sakhalin at a price to be fixed by, a mixed tribunal consisting of representatives of the neutral powers, in fact if not in words, the solution offered by Presi- dent Rooseys!t, Mr. Witte again Returned a Non-Possumus, It was what Mr. Witte termed in his interview with the Associated Press the “pschylogical moment.” Mr. Witte did not flinch. He expected a rupture and as he expressed it afterward, he was stunned by what happened. Bar- on Komura gave way on all the dis- puted points. With the prescience that has enabled the Japanese to gauge the mental processes of their adver- saries on (he field of battle and upon the sea, they had realized in advance that peace could be obtained in no other way. ‘They had warned their government. President Roosevelt had also, it is believed, advised Japan that it was better ic meet the Russian po- sition than to take the responsibility of continuing the war for the purpose of Cellecting Tribute. The mikado at the session of the cab- inet and elder statesmen Sunday had sanctioned the final concession. When Baron Komura yielded the rest was mere child’s play. 5 Articles 10 and 11, interned war- ships and the limitation of Russia's sea power in the Far East, were with- drawn. Japan agreed that only that portion of the Chinese Eastern rail- road south of Chantfu, the position occupied by Oyama, should be ceded to Japan. Both sides, once the dead- lock was broken, wanted a “just and lasting” peace, and in that spirit it was decided to practically neutralize Sakhalin, cach country binding itself mot to fortify its half of the island, and Japan assuming an obligation not to fortify the La Perouse strait, be- tween Sakhalin and Hokkaido, which would bar Russia’s commercial route to the Pacific. Mutua! Privileces. The plenipotentiaries went further. They decided to add a new clause in the nature of a broad provision for mutual commercial privileges by which each country will secure for the other the benefit of the “most fa- vored nation” clause and the “open door.” \ The new treaty, therefore, will be a wonderfully friendly document, of character almost to raise the suspi- cion that the two countries have not negotiated peace, but have concluded the basis for a future alliance. There is, however, no evidence, as rumored, that secret clauses are to be appended te the present treaty. Glory Give= to Roosevelt, Before leaving the conference bui!d- ere exchanged with ‘during the ‘the pectt it x ae Bay. Both Baron Komura and Mr. Witte tele- graphed. The former confined himself to apprising’ Mr. Roosevelt of the conditions upon which peace had been concluded. Mr. Witte frankly laid his tribute at the president’s feet. In his message he said: “History will glory,” ascribe to you the and added the expression of Russia's hearty appreciation of the president's “generous initiative.” Mr. Roosevelt replied with words ot thanks and congratulation. Then came the jubilation. Mr. Witte and Baron de Rosen returned to the hotel for luncheon. The Japanese had remained at the conference hall to lunch with Mr. Peirce, Scenes of Wild Rejoicing. The news that peace had been con- cluded had preceded the Russian plenipotentiaries and such scenes of wild rejoicing have never before been witnessed in the State of New Hamp shire as greeted them upon their ar- rival at the hotel. Mr. Witte, dazed at the sudden and happy termination of the conference, was fairly over- powered by the tremendous ovation he received. He could only express his gratitude by shaking the hands of everybody, and in response to the yo! ley of questions fired at him as to tho, terms, murmured: “We pay not a kopee and we get half of Sakhalin.” Later, in his room, when he had partially recovered himself, he de clared that he could not have dreamed of such a victory—for that he regards it as A Diplomatic Triumph of the first magnitude he makes no attempt to conceal. And that is tho ‘general verdict here. The Russians are overjoyed at the result. “We have had our Liao-Yangs and Mukdens on land,” they say, “and our ‘Tsushimas on sea, but the Japanese have their Portsmouth.” Although Mr. Witte is not a diplo- matist, they declare that he has out- maneuvered the Japanese, yielding one by one io the conditions until he forced them into a corner on the main issue of indemnity and left them no escape, except surrender or to convert the war into a war to coilect tribute. The Russians declared that diplomat: ically the Japanese made their colos- sal blunder when they agreed to con- sider thefconditions seriatum. Japanese Are Silent. The Japanese correspondents, al though they said little, plainly showed their dissatisfaction with the terms afternoon. They stood aloof, silent in the midst of the gen- eral jubilation, for as the afternoon advanced, the air was filled with the sounds of rejoicing. Bells were ring ing in Portsmouth and Newcastle and the fleet in the harbor was.adding to the din with their sirens and bells. Baron Komura, foilowing the rule he has set himself, declined to maka any statement, and Mr. Takahira would only say, when asked by the Associated Press to make a State: ment: + “For the sake of humanity and ciy- ilization, and, as we believe, in the in- terest of both countries and the world, we have made peace.” PRESIDENT 1S GRATIFIED. Feels It Is Great Triumph for Human. ity and Civilization, Oyster Bay, Aug. 30.—In his library at Sagamore Hill President Roosevelt, shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon, received the announcement that the Russian and Japanese pleni- potentiaries at Portsmouth had reached an agreement and would pro- ceed at once to conclude the terms of a treaty of peace. “That is fine, splendid,’ exclaimed the president. The joyful tidings soon spread through the Roosevelt household. The president did not conceal his profound gratification at this successful issue of the peace conference, the initiative of which had come, from him, and his feeling of satisfaction at the outcome permeated the entire entourage of Sagamore Hill. It was a joyful tam: ily party that assembled a few min- utes afterward around the hospitable board of President Roosevelt. While the president did not seek to conceal his profound gratification that the conference has reached an agree- ment, he said he was obliged, in the circumstances, to refrain from any formal expression regarding the work accomplished until he should have been informed fully as to the details. Tt can be said, however, that he feels that the successful issue of the confer- ence is a great triumph for humanity and civilization. ROOSEVELT THE VICTOR, French Newspapers Are Highly Eulo- gistic. Paris, Aug. 30.—The French news- papers this morning devote lengthy and eulogistic editorials to President Roosevelt. The president is the hero of the hour—indeed, little mention is made of Emperor Nicholas. The’ Matin says: “Roosevelt is tho great victor. He forced two belliger- ents who were strangling one another to meet on neutral ground with the same tranquility that he displayed on the eve of battle at the head of his rough riders, He tacked the respec: tive delegates of the belligerent par- ties, facing Japanese cupidity and Russian infatuation with the same dis- dain for diplomatic usages as when he was charging the trenches with his slouch hat on the ground and a white handkerchief around his neck. He is the t victor of this battle of giants.” Moral Victory for Japan. “Berlin, Aug. 30.—Japan has won 2 great moral victory, Russia a grea: diplomatic one and President Roose- velt has become the first figure in in- ternational statesmanship. That is! what Berlin thinks of the result of the Portsmouth ‘conference. RUSSIANS ARE AMAZED That Japan So Completely Met Rus- sian Demands. St. Petersburg, Aug. 30.—The Asso- ciated Press dispatches from Ports- mouth brought the first news of the agreement of the peace conference. It came as an electrical shock, as of- ficial and diplomatic circles had been practically without hope of a success ful termination of the negotiations. The news became known to only a comparatively few persons up to mid- night. Wherever the news was known surprise and even amazement is ex- pressed that Japan had so completely met the Russian demands, but the re- ception of the news so far as it had gone up to the time this dispatch was filed was calm and even pathetic. FIERCE FIGHT IN POLAND. Peasants and Robbers Start a Little War of Their Own Near Warsaw. Warsaw, Aug. 30.—The peasants in the surrounding districts are making determined efforts to exterminate bands of thieves who have been com- mitting extensive depredations. On Aug. 26, the inhabitants of the Min- zovna district killed eleven thieves and wounded fifty, and the thieves of Warsaw, fully armed, set out to avenge their comrades by setting fire to villages. The peasants thereupon organized to resist them, and a con- flict is imminent. The authorities have not taken any action in the mat- ter. SECOND TRAGEDY ON RANCH. Man Shot by Companion who Helped to Get.Him Acquitted of Murder. Dickinson, N. D., Aug. 30. — B. K. Clemie was shot yesterdey by Charles Hartwell at the Miner ranch, thirty miles northeast of here. Hartwell, who came here and gave himself up, says he came up behind Clemie with gun and fork and accidentally dis- charged the weapon. The sheriff and coroner have gone to the scene. On May 20 last year Clemie shot Ole P. Ziner at the same ranch. He pleaded self-defense, was tried last fall, and acquitted. Hartwell was one of Clemie’s principal witnesses. They have been working togteher at the ranch, which was bought by Clemie a year ago. PENNY SWINDLE WORRIES. Conscience-Stricken Man Returns the Amount Fourfold.
