ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1S.-Rus-
sia recognizes Japan's predominance
in Korea and Japan recognizes Russia's
special position in Manehuria. There
are two main questions still at issue
the Russian demand for neutral zone
on the Korean side of the Yalu river,
which Japan met with a proposal for
the similar neutral strip on the Man
churian side. Japan also asks for
certain guarantees covering Manchuria
which Russia thus far has declined to
grant However, the assurances given
a few days ago by Russia regarding
open ports in Manchuria and respect
for treaty rights is pointed out as a
concession on this point.
That the tive. countries are not so
far apart may be inferred from the
following statement made by Mr..
Kurino, the Japanese minister:
War would only be disastrous to
both countries. Owing to the geo.
graphical situation an armed conflict
would result in great drain of the
men and treasure Of both Japan and
Russia without being decisive. Be-
sides, believe 1t would not be worth
while to go to war on the questions
still in dispute"

We have the only perfect process of

on the market. No building OF paving
material has ever been discovered that
equals Portland cement concrete when
properly united.
Our hollow blocks are a marvel OF
beauty, strength and durability; are
close grained and compact; possess
high tensile and crushing strength; do
not disentegrate with time and the
elements but harden with age and
exposure and become practically
understandable.

While crossing the Missouri river

from the Cheyenne reserve informed
us that he had lately been obliged
to remove his ffocks from Stanley
county to the Cheyenne reserve on
account of the large emigration of
settlers that have within the past
year have taken up homesteads in
Stanley county and are now residing
upon their claims. The rapid growth
OF these western countries is pleas
ing to the taxpayer who knows that
every new settler in the counties
will aid in paying the taxes in the

ern counties will be but a matter of
a few years and the taxpayers should
not discourage the emigrants who
are seeking homes in this state by
removing the capital according to
the dictates of the politicians and
real estate men of the southeastern

THE WORK OF THE PEOPLE.


Theodore Roosevelt was not, as
had been announced and expected,
nominated by reclamation. The
delegates who representedthe repub-
lican ass in every state and terri
tory under the flag of the United
States, charged to the brim with the
admiration and enthusiasm of their
candidates which they had brought
with them from their homes, would
not have brooked the hasty and
tumultuous informality Of such a
proceeding. The nomination was
therefore made under the solemn
forms of a roll call of the states and
territories SO that every delegate
could share in the honor and privil-
ege Of registering the will of his
constituents m voting for Theodore
Roosevelt. TIE solid unanimity of
the vote thus marshalled in the pro-
cession Of states was far more
impressive than q nomination by
reclamation with its transitory burst
Of enthusiasm would have been. II

alton BY the convention Of the mature

and well considered choice Of the
republican party of the nation "a
choice not based on any ephemeral
claims to popularity, but on the
entire character and conduct of The
odore Roosevelt as exemplified, not
only by his administration of the
government for nearly three years
past, but by his whole public career.
There has seldom been a nomination
for president with which the poll
ticians had so little to do and which
was so directly the spontaneous
work of the people. 1t may be truly
said that the people forced it upon
the politicians-not a few of whom
would have endeavored to push him
aside for another candidate if they
had dared. As a matter of fact
when Theodore Roosevelt was nomi-
mated against his will for vice pres
ident in 1900 by the overwhelming
voice of the republican party it was
with the understanding and inten-
ton that in 1904 he was to be pro-
NOTED to the higher ofhce-and this
simply upon the record of patriotic
devotion to the highest standards of
duty which he had then made.
Called to the presidency by dispen-
sations of Providence, the whole
course of his administration has more
than confirmed the previous esti-
mate OF his character, of his unswerv-
ing loyalty to the highest ideals of
public duty and of the patriotism,
courage and common sense which
have inspired his boundless activity
in public affairs. His hold on the
masses of the people grew stronger
and deeper as they came to know
him better, SO that is doubtful if all
the party leaders together could have
defeated his nomination If they had
tried--and they long ago gave up
trying because they could see no
hope Of success in the experiment.

Japanese Unable to Retain Positions
From Which Russians Have

Chefoo, Aug. 30. - Severe fighting
was resumed at Port Arthur on Aug.
e. Between Aug. % and 26 there
was some fighting but 1t was less Sc.
we're than that on the 9th.
A Chinese refugee was compelled to
carry the dead from the battlefield
Of Palichuang, which the Japanese at
tempted to capture on Aug &c. Thirty
carts were used to carry the dead
numbering 400. Efficient soldiers at
Port Arthur are said to number over
10000.
A Chinaman from Rihlungshan says
he saw the Russians occupying this
fort, from which previous reports
stated that they had been driven. Prob.
ably both reports were correct as
many positions about the fortress
change hands repeatedly.
The fighting which began on the
27th soon became general While the
Chinese were at sea Aug 2S the
heavy firing was resumed. Two iunks
containing contraband of war were
sunk by Japanese torpedo boat.

positions from which they drove the
Russians. They succeeded only in
weakening the Russian lines.
