PARIS, May 6.-The Temps has tcle-
gram from ST. Petersburg stating that
Japan has replied to the friendly protest
Of Russia, Germany and France. Japan
agrees to renounce possession OF the Liao-
Ttang peninsula, but says she will retain
Port Arthur. This compromise leaves
intact all the dangers that the powers
wished to avoid. Fresh representations
have been made to Japan and the negotia-
tlOns are actively proceeding. Japan will
probably yield Port Arthur, though de-
manding to hold the place temporarily,
which the powers will coucede.

A Petition Circulated.

Allen and Nixon, the Titusville
parties who we're given the contract to
build the new school house In Reyn-
oldsville, sublet the excavation for the
building to the lowest bidder, which
was an italian who resides at Falls
Creek. II Is understood that the man
will bring foreigners to this place to do
the work. We have number of citi-
zens who are willing to work II they
can find something TO do, and they feel
that they should have the first stopportuni-
ty to do the work, and consequently
have gotten up the following petition,
which has been signed by many voters
Of the borough:
To the contractors Of the school build
ing in Reynoldsvile borough: We, the
citizens Of said borough, deplore the
fact that you have seen Ht TO sublet the
excavating Of our school building to
outside parties, who, II we were correct
ly informed are non-citizens. This
action we regard as an insult TO Ameri-
can labor, and an infringement on our
rights as citizens, in depriving us of the
means Of earning livelihood We
would, therefore, earnestly request, In
view Of the fact that there are hundreds
of our town people who are out of work,
who are willing and able to perform
said work at reasonable wages, If an
opportunity were offered them, In JUS
tice to our country, our flag and our
people we request, in no uncertain
sound, that our home citizens be given
the first preference. A compliance
with the above will allay the bitter
feeling now existing.
