drawn, The lowest estimate made
by Idaho builders was $6, 900 The
executive commissioner and superin-
tendent of structure found that they
could not let the contract in st. Louis
for less than 1900, building ma
terlal being excessively higher there.
This was So, more than the
amount originally contemplated for a
building appropriation.
The Idaho commission is making
special efforts to present creditable
displays IN mining, agricultural,
horticultural and educational depart
ments. The first mentioned two are
practically complete. ldaho's min
ing exhibit will unquestionably be
one of the best made by any state.
Her display in agriculture will be a
source of wonderment to people liv-
ing in other states.
In the face of extreme difficulty
the commission has obtained one car
load of apples, which has been ship
4 ped to st. Louis and placed in cold
storage. While the apples secured
are of splendid quality, it is feared
that the quantity is not sufficient to
attract the attention that the exhibit
merits.
The commission is working earnest
ly to make first class exhibit, but
unless the funds at It's disposal can
be increased to near the amount OF
the cost of the building, the display
will fall short of the ideal and the
expectations of the people may moi
be realized.

small appropriation, which has mo-
increased it by private subscription

as to inadequately portray the state
capabilities. This, the governor,
other state officials, and the commits
sion, regret so keenly that they have
decided to make an appeal for addi-
tional funds by private subscription.
Before the commission was
organized the individual members
thought that with the limited ap-
preparation, state building would
not be polite. The announcement
of this raised a storm of protest
throughout the state. 1t was said
that Idaho must not be the only state
in the Union not represented by a
state building. So vigorous and
unanimous was the sentiment in favor
of a building that the commission
could not ignore it. 1t was thought
that perhaps expenses in other
directions could be so reduced as to
admit of an expenditure of So, 900
for building that would be home
for Idaho people. Plans for what
the commission considered an ideal
structure, modest, but in keeping
with the dignity of the state. were

President Roosevelt to Take
Early Action to Secure
Peace Conference at Hague

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-President
Roosevelt's announcement on Saturday
to the delegates Of the Interparlia-
mentary Union that at an early date
he would invite the nations Of the
world to send delegates to a second
peace conference whose work should
be supplemental to that of the con-
ference at The Hague is regarded as
a historic advance toward the adjust
ment of international difficulties
through the medium OF arbitration.
Quite naturally, the question arose as
to how soon the President might call
the conference. He did not indicate,
in his address, the probable time Of
his issuance of the call, but it can be
stated that he will not await the con-
clusion of peace between Japan and
Russia, both signatories to The Hague
convention, before issuing his call. 1t
Is his present intention, in about six
weeks. to bring the matter to the at
tention of the nations Of the world,
with a view to ascertaining their de-
sires as to the time and place Of hold
ing the second conference. These pre-
liminary inquiries will be made through
the Department of State. AS soon
thereafter as the replies received shall
warrant, the President will issue his
formal call for the conference, which
probably will be early in the coming
wear

NARROW ESCAPE
OF SIX PERSONS
Launch Breaks Down and
for a Night and Half a Day
Drifts About in the Ocean
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26.-Adrift all
the night and half Of the day on the
ocean off Point Fermin in a broken
down launch, without water or pro-
visions, and slowly floating farther
away from land, without power to aid
themselves, was the experience Of a
party of six persons, three men and
three women, who were picked up at
noon to-day about two miles off the
breakwater by the steamer James 5.
Higgins, bound to San Pedro from Eu-
reka.
One OF the party, Captain Tom Oh
sen. suffered so much from the fright
and exposure that he became temper
arily insane and 1t is feared he may
not recover.
The party put out from San Pedro at
o'clock Sunday afternoon in the
launch Ramona. with Harry Lunch as
skipper. The passengers were: Mrs.
Ellen Kissee and her sister, Mrs. Shaw,
of East San Pedro, Miss Louise Freely
Of Long Beach. Captain Tom Olsen OF
East San Pedro and c. Clements and
]. Aroff of San Pedro. A mile off
Point Fermin the engine stopped.
In a struggle to stop the seward
drift the thWarts were ripped from
their places and converted into crude
paddles. Then the rain began. Cold
and penetrating it came down steadily
all through the night. About noon to-
day the steamer James S. Higgins
sighted the drifting party, picked the
unfortunates UP in terribly exhausted
condition and brought them in.

PORT ARTHUR
SHIPS TO RUN
THE GAUNTLET
Remnant of Fleet Will
Attempt to Return
to Europe.
Russian Naval Journal
Admits That Task
Is Hopeless.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 2s.-The
naval organ, Kotlin, to-day publishes
an article predicting that Rear Admiral
Wren will attempt to break out of
Port Arthur with his ships and return
to Europe. The paper admits that the
task of escaping from Admiral Togo
appears to be hopeless, If one takes for
comparison Admiral Cervera's attempt
to get away from Santiago, but adds
that Wiren's men, unlike the Spaniards,
have plenty of experience.
The Russ and the Invalid, both re-
ferring in a matter of fact tone to the
imperial rescript issued on Sunday,
simply say it was necessitated by the
fact that the Manchurian army has
grown beyond the size which even Ma
poleon found one man could handle
successfully.
The Russ adds the hope that Cen
oral Kuropatkin will be allowed to as
sumo supreme command and thus reap
the fruits of ultimate victory, for
which he has so long carefully and
self-sacrificingly prepared.

CoNTRABAND ISSUE UNSETTLED.
Russia Awaits the Next Move by the
United States.


ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 26.-
Neither the United States nor Great
Britain has renewed diplomatic repre-
sensations to Russia on the question of
contraband. In diplomatic circles here
interest is felt over the ultimate issue.
1t is hardly believed here that either
the United States or Great Britain pur-
poses to allow the matter to rest in Its
present aspect.
While the Washington Government
won a distinct victory In the decision
of the commission regarding contra
band, which in effect recognized Secre-
tary Hays contention that the word
enemy In the Russian declaration
be interpreted Government or forces
and not ports or territory" and spe-
cifically mentioned articles as contra
band, it is thought the American Gov
eminent will still refuse to acquiesce
in the placing of cotton, fuel and rail-
road, telegraph and telephone material
in the list of absolute contraband.
Nevertheless, in view of the assur-
ances given as to the future, and espe-
cially in view of the naval situation in
the Far East, which has removed any
pressing danger to American COM
merce with Japan, the authorities ex-
pect that the United States will await
the decision of the appeal from the
tribunal in the Calchas and Arabia
cases before proceeding further. II
the decision be unsatisfactory and rep
RESERVATIONS are renewed, there is rea-
son to believe that Russia would con-
cede the point regarding cotton.

FREE THINKERS
CRIEVE Plus X
Their Meeting in Rome
Regarded as Intentional
Insult to the Pontiff

ROME, Sept. 26.-The Pope has ad-
dressed to the Cardinal Vicar a pro-
test against the Congress of Free
Thinkers held here last week The
text was published In the Osservatore
Romano this evening with letter
from the Cardinal Vicar inviting Cath
olics to attend a service of atonement,
to be held in all the basilicas of Rome
on Thursday next
The Pope, in his letter to Cardinal
Respighi, the Vicar General Of the
Pontiff, said:
A new cause OF bitterness has been added to
the many anxieties which. especially in our
time accompany the government of the uni
versal church. We have learned with Infinite
sorrow that il is asserted that the cultivators
OF free thought have met in Rome while
tunately confirmed by their grim signs. In
telligence is the nobest gift the Creator has
granted US. but ii becomes sacrilegtous when
subracted from dependency the Almighty
or rejecting the direction and comfort OF d.
vine truth.
The Pope says the insult was rem
dered the more grave by the free
thinkers meeting in Rome, the city
which had been destined as a deposit
tory of the faith, thus taking from
Rome its designation as the tranquil,
respected see of Christ's vicar.
we, therefore" the Pope adds, will
make ours the offense offered to God,
gathering in our heart all its bitter
ness"
The Pope recognizes that even on
this occasion God sent comfort through
the manifestation of filial affection re-
ceived yesterday from the 10000 men,
bers of the Catholic Association Of
French youths, but he wishes to have
in Rome a solemn function Of atone
ment for the outrage Of divine majes-
ty and for the vindication Of the honor
and good name of the city.

MANY SLAV OFFICERS CASHIERED FOR COWARDICEW
Vast Thanking of the Japanese Armies Under Field
Marshal Marquis 0yama Now Well
Under Way
General Kurok Is Attempting to Seize and Cross
the Hun River Many Miles to the
Eastward of Mukden

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 26.-The
cause of the extreme elaboration In
the japanese advance on Mukden was
explained by a dispatch from General
Kuropatkin this afternoon, which in
dicates that Field Marshall Oyama has
not yet concentrated his forces. Fresh
troops are constantly arriving at Ben
siaputze, while others which recently
reached Liaoyang are marching up
the Taitse River to Sianchan. These
achievements, presumably, come
from Japan. AS soon as the fourth
Japanese army, at Sianchan, Is Suff1-
GENTLY strong, it is now evident, the
Japanese intend to resort to their Ia
vorite thanking tactics, move formid-
able array again Kuropatkin's left and
compel the evacuation of Sintslntln.
They evidently are accommodating the
ground over which the Sianchan army
will march up and cross the river.
Meanwhile General Kuroki Is trying
to seize and cross the Hun River Tar
east of Mukden. Thence he will move
down the river and cooperate with
the fourth army from Sianchan, while
Oku and Nodzu engage Kuropat-
kin's attention south of Mukden. The
attacks on Da Pass and Sanlungku on
September 20 were the first symptoms
of this vast fianking movement.
Kuropatkin now reports that Jap
anese scouts have been encountered
near the Hun River, half way to Muk-
den, trying to seize Kaoutou Pass, ten
miles northeast of Bentsiaputze, In or
der to clear the way to Fushun, and
that Oku's and NodZu's outposts have
been engaged in heavy diminishing
with Cossacks near Inpu, between
Bentsiaputze and the railroad.

BERLIN INTERESTED.
German Foreign ONCE in Sympathy
With Mr.. Roosevelt's Plan.

BERLIN, Sept. 26.- President
Roosevelt's announcement Saturday Of
his intention to call a second peace
conference Of the nations OF the world,
whose work should be supplemental
to that of The Hague arbitration con-
ference, attracts much attention here.
The Foreign Office expresses itself
generally as sympathetic toward the
idea If the Presidents propositions are
confined to practical, tangible meas
ures, without attempting anything like
general disarmament or an adjudica-
ton of the difficulties which touch the
sovereignty and honor of states, as
would be involved in any scheme of
compulsory arbitration.
Among the foreign embassies here
It was learned by a representative Of
the Associated Press that the idea Of
an international peace conference
during the RusSo-Japanese war would
be considered inopportune by Russia,
as questions now under controversy
between Russia and several of the
neutral powers would most likely
come before 1t. The necessity for a
conference after the war to define
contraband and the extent to which
neutrals may assist belligerents by the
sale of ships and munitions Is fully
recognized.

BITTER TOWARD JAPAN.
Famous War Writer Denounces Treat
ment Accorded Him.


HONOLULU, Sept. 26. = Melton
Prior, the British newspaper corre-
spondent, who arrived here to-day on
the Pacific Mail steamship Mongolia
from Yokohama, says he feels abso-
lutely certain that the war in the Far
East will lead to European complica-
tons and to the most awful war In
the worlds history. Prior complains
that Japan has displayed bad faith
toward all the correspondents. This,
he says, is his twenty-seventh cam
paign and 1t is the only one in which
he has seen nothing. He believes that,
with the possible exception of the bat
tie of Liaoyang, not one correspondent
has seen a shot fired, and he even
doubts if the Liaoyang fighting was
witnessed by newspaper man.
Other correspondents are returning
on the Mongolia. Richard Harding
Davis is going to the United States by
way of Victoria.

Special Dispatch to The CAN.

LONDON. Sept. 27.-According to
the Daily Nails correspondent at Lao
yang, general orders were discovered
by the Japanese in a building at Lao
yang which had been used by the Rus
slams as headquarters. These orders
reveal an amazing lack Of discipline
in General Kuropatkin's army. They
show that several commanding officers
have been cashiered.
The commander of the Second Ural
Cossa cks was removed on July II for
abandoning a position upon hearing
that the japanese were approaching.
he made no investigation of the ru-
NOR. His retirement seriously endan-
gered the Russian operations.
Two colonies OF Siberian sharp
shooters were cashiered on July 23. No
reason for this action is given in the
orders. The commander Of the Fifth
Cossacks was cashiered for habitual
drunkenness and behavior unbecom-
ing an officer.
