WON'T ACCEPT INTERVENTION.
Russia Notifies Powers That They
Must Not Interfere.

St. Petersburg, April 29.-In th'
most categorical terms Russia has orr
ciaily notified the world that she Wtil
not accept mediation To terminate the
war with Japan. The official notiiica-
ton which accords with the authoriti-
live announcement made by The Assn
ciated Press, April %, is contained iu
4 circular issued by the ministry Of
foreign affairs to the Russian repre-
santatives with foreign powers which
is gaZetted in the Official Messenger.
Friday morning. The circular denies
the report that formal proposals have
been made 20 the imperial government
by any foreign power to use its good
offices to restore peace, a denial which
does not refer to the personal COM
munications addressed directly to the
Emperor by King Edward ana King
Christian of Denmark, an account Of
which was given by The Associated
Press. The text of the circular is as
follows:
THE foreign press has recently been
persiStently circulating runners con-
corning intentions on the part of some
| of the European governments to I'M
dertake q friendly Intervention with 4
view to speedy termination of the
conflict IetWeen Russia ana Japan.
| kilograms have even been received
Announcing that proposals OF such a
nature have already beer made to the
| imperial government. You are en-
powered to deny this statement most
| categorically. Russia did rot wish
war and everything within the limits
| of possibility was done by her to solve
the complications which had arisen in
the Far East in peaceful manner, but
after the treacherous surprise on the
part of the japanese which forced Rus
STA to take up arms. obviously no
friendly mediation can have any sue
cess.
"Similarly the imperial government
will not admit the intervention of any
power whatsoever in any negotiations
which will occ,!r between Russia anil
Japan after the termination of hostile
operations in order 10 determine the
conditions of peace"
On April %. The Associated Press
announced author itativcly from st.
Petersburg that the talk of mediation
! in the Russo Japanese war was found
Cd upon the personal desires of King
Edward and King Christian of Dem
mark to end the war and avoid further
ibloodShed. hut that the opening move
had failed utterly. No details of the
scheme of mediation We're made public
beyond the positive statement that
whatever had occurred to that end was
above the level of cabinets and cham
CellOrieS and had originated in the per-
sOnal sOlicitude CT the Emperor's uncle
and grandfather. 1t was known that
after the PetrOpavlOvsk disaster King
Christian in letter of sympathy to
the Emperor expressed the hope that
a way could be found to avoid further
bloodshed. Whether any further CON-
munication or proposition of the sub
icct had reached the Emperor coul l
not be learned d, but it was certain that
the dispatch stated that the matter
reached such a sage as to compel its
consideration.

Salem Automobile Story
Comes From a Corvallis
New. paper

Down at the foot of a 15O-foot EN-
bankment about four miles beyond
Summit, with wheels pointing sky
ward, twisted into a thousand shapes
and badly smashed generally, lies
what remains of a fine two-seated au
tOmobile, says the Corvallis Gazette
The accident occurred nearly a week
ago while John Meyer, a gunsmith of
Salem, and three companions were
enroute from Corvallis to Newport.
This is probably the first time an
auto has ever attempted this tortuOus
road, but the novelty of the trip ap-
pealed to the romantic natures OF the
gentlemen I'm question and that is how
the automobile got into the scrape
Everything went well until the sum.
NIT was reached and the descent on
the west side of the Coast Range be-
gan. There are some pretty steep
grades and the wagons have cut deep
narrow ruts. The view from the sum.
NIT and beyond for several miles is
also of surprising beauty and it was
while the auto-wagon was putting and
snOrting down one of these particu.
larly bad stretches of road and the
chauffeur was rubbering round
through the canyons that the spill
took place.
The automobile ran into the bank
on the upper side of the road and
Meyer, who was doing the steering
act, twisted the crank violently in the
opposite direction. The auto grunted
a couple of times, rolled over on its
back and with a wild snort started
Town the 15O-foot grade, demohshing
.wo rail fences, grinding dirt and
stones to powder and leaving a trail
behind similar to a Kansas cyclone. |
rhe dead auto is lying at the foot of
he grade still, silent and cold. The
occupants were not seriously injured. J

'ost-mortem examination of the poor
I'D machine.

DAVIS
REALLY
AGED
Efforts at Notification We're
Severe Strain Upon
Candidate

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Newspaper
correspondents representing both
Democrats and Republican journals
have returned here from White Sui.
phur Springs, w. Va, where they re.
ported the Davis notification proceed
ings. 1t is remarkable that these men
who are unprejudiced observers
unanimously declare that ex-senator
Henry G. Davis showed such signs of
senile decay in his speech of accept
ance that the proceedings were a
mere burlesque. Physically, they say
Mr. Davis appeared to be remarkably
robust, but his efforts to read his
written speech were pitiable. 1t was
to understand his remarks,
as he failed to read a single sentence
and his mind was palpa-
bly, wandering. The printed copy of
his speech furnished to the press did
not betray the weakness which over
came the ce-preSidential candidate
during its delivery.
Before the campaign mas progressed
It is the opinion of the correspond
ents that the true condition of ex.
Senator Davis will have become wide
" known, and that the Democratic
national committee must face the al
ernative of Withdrawing him from the
icket, or seeing it defeated on the
'Ole issue of his extreme age. 1t is
low pointed out that ex-Secretary
Root, before his notification speech to
Senator Fairbanks at Indianapolis,
oresaw the public would soon become
ware of ex-senator Davis condition.
nd that it would become a real issue
n the campaign, in spite of the uni.
ersal desire to shield a candidate
rom the humiliation of a public dis
ussion of his disabilities.
