positions into the peninsula, in the do
ing of which a majority of the lives
were sacrificed.
On the night of the 18th the bat
tie lulled somewhat, when the Japan
csc sent the terms of surrender to
Lieutenant General Stoessel. The
terms provided that the garrison
should march out with the honors of
war and join General Kuropatkin;
that all civilians be brought to a
place designated by the Japanese ad-
miral; that the Russian warships in
the harbor numbering seven, be sur
rendered to the Japanese.
Lieutenant General Stoesse1 is al
legged to have received the terms with
a burst of wonderful profanity, his
habitual taciturnity deserving him.
He strobe the floor until he became
calmer and then remarked that if the
Japanese proposition was a joke it
was in bad taste.
Tolxio-Major Yaruoka, representing
the Japanese forces beseiging Port Ar
thur, met the Russian chief of the
garrison staff about 600 yards north
of Shoshiying, August 16, under a flag
of truce, and delivered to him the
emperor's offer to remove nOn-cOm-
batants to a place of safety. The
tender included women and children
under 16 years of age, priests, diplo-
mats and officers of neutral powers.

ON HIS DEATH BED
HE MAKES CONFESSION

y. I. on the charge of having murder
ed Gilbert Gates near Paris, Mo-, in
1871, were as sensational as any that
have occurred in the criminal his
tory of Missouri. He was delivered
into the authorities hands by his sis
ter, Mrs. Cornelius Street, who
charged him with a murder done
nearly thirty years before. Jester
at the time of his arrest was 81
years old.
Because Of the earnestness of the
prisoner in denouncing his arrest as
piece of petty spite work on the
part of his sister and because of the
his advanced years and the long per-
1od intervening between his arrest
and the alleged commission of the
murder, public sentiment was with
the prisoner. Then, too, John w.
Gates, brother of the murdered Gilbert
Gates, had come to Mexico, Mo-,
where TESTERS trial was had, provid-
ed with unlimited capital and accom-
panied by the best attorneys to be
secured who assisted the prosecuting
attorney Of the court where Jester
faced jury.
1t was claimed after TESTERS arrest
in 1899 that young Gates had been
sweetheart of Mrs. Street, but she
claimed that she had made the con-
fession because she was prompted to
do so by the Lord, she declaring:
mo one knows the load | have car
ried these many years When 1 would
try to forget it, it would seem to me
as if 1 could hear the Lord saying:
You are as much a sinner as your
brother

Carbonate, Ill, Aug. 23,-The
great mystery which for thirty years
or more has surrounded the murder
of John w. Gates brother. Gilbert
Gates, has been cleared and Alexan-
der Jester a preacher, the accused,
has confessed to the murder.
Gates was killed in Hulanis lane,
in Audrian county, Mo-, in January,
1871. He was travelling overland with
Jester, the latter exhibiting in every
town a trained buffalo calf. Jester
was captured in Kansas by Azel A.
Gates, John w. Gates father, few
weeks after, with his sons belongings
including team, clothes and watch.
He was taken to Mexico, Mo-, and
shotly after escaped from jail and
was not found until twenty-six years
later when his sister, Mrs. Cornelius
Street, divulged to John G. Gates, his
whereabouts.
Gates took special train with de-
tectives, captured Jester and placed
him in the Rails county Jail, where
in July, 1900, after a four weeks
sensational trial, he was acquitted,
owing to the absence Of the corpus
delecti of the case. Forty-eight hours
after his acquittal he practically ad-
mitted to a st. Louis newspaper cor
respondent his guilt, but pledge was
exacted that he would never tell the
story until testers death. On his
death-bed, it is claimed, Jester ad-
mitted killing Gates by cutting his
throat and sinking the body in Bee
Creek.

JAPAN MAY YIELD

st. Petersburg, Aug. 2O.-The Chi
nese minister came To St Petersburg
from his seaside villa and conferred
with several ambassadors regarding
developments in the RyeshiteIni Incl

lOmatic circles here is that Japan may
yet change her mind and surrender
that vessel to the care of some neu-
trail power, reserving all rights. Such
a course, it is pointed out, would
strengthen Japan's position and at the
same time avoid the possibility of

TIE "MOST- FAVORED NATION
CLAUSE.

1t is asserted by some persons claim
ing special information that Great
Britain will claim, under the most
favored nation" clause of her treaty
with the United States. the same priv
ileges for her West India possessions
as are accorded in Cuba under the new
reciprocity treaty. But if she does
make such claim it will not be grant
ed. Cuba secures certain rights b.
paying for them. The British West
India islands cannot have the same
rights and pay nothing for them.
That question was settled long ago
under the reciprocity treaty that went
into effect under the Harrison admin
istration The most favored nation
clause did not secure rights un-
der those treaties nor has it done 50
for the United States with other ma
lions having similar treaties. Where
some general provision is made. as
with the comparatively unimportan5
treaties now in effect with France
Germany, and other countries, the
most favored nation" clause might be
urged with some effect, provided q
like turn were given. But Great Brit
ian does not now have the benefit of
like reduction in rates such IS are
given to those countries.
Unless a nation could give in return
the same privileges that Cuba gives
that claim would not be honored now
any more than It was under the treat
les made in the Harrison administTa-
ton. And even if the privileges could
be given and were rendered that would
not decide the matter-Philadelph

GLACIERS ARE WANING.
Latested Evidence Collected in All
Parts OF the World.

The French Alpine club appointed
committee of scientific men two years
ago to collect annually the results of
all of the studies of glaciers made in
every part of the world and to pre-
pare a yearly rep-rt. The second re-
port. covering 1862, thst issued, pre-
sents a large amount of evidence to
show that Throughout the world the

ing further Up the mountains. There
are exceptions to the rule in small dis
tricts, but these exceptions only en-
phasize the prevailing tendency every
where. from the Arctic to the Antarc-
tic zones.
In the Alps, for example, the diminu-
ten of glaciation is everywhere no
ticeable excepting the Oriental Alps,
where the glaciers are now little
longer and thicker than they were al
the beginning Of the century.
Throughout the Cordineras Of the
Andes the glaciers are retreating.
il was reported last year that the
great glacier on the west side of Meant

South America. which Darwin found
in 1886 TO descend to the sea is now

growth Of young timber Albert Brun,
who visited some of the glaciers Of
Spitzbergen last year. DISCOVERED that
the present terminus Of the great East
glacier in Research bay is now about
6.CC0 feet back Of the moraine which is
deposited at some earlier period.
NJ. c. Engen has brought home evil
dence that the JaCobshaVen glacier,
one of the largest in Greenland. had
retreatcd about four miles from 1850
to July, 1902. Mr.. Oyen reports that
| the lire Of perpetual snow is now at a
