Short Peace Items.

Americas national capital has been
selected as the seat of negotiations
between the plenipotentiaries Of Rus
STA and Japan for a treaty of peace.
The announcement is made that
Grand Duke Alexis, the high admiral,
who is an uncle of the emperor and
Admiral Avellan, head Of the Russian
admiralty department, had resigned.
Emperor William in an autograph
letter advised Emperor Nicholas to
consider the question of peace.
The practical certainty now that the
peace negotiations can not begin for
another month leads to the conviction
that another battle will be fought in
the interval.
An official denial has been issued Of
reports that Lieutenant General Line,
Witch and other generals have sent an
appeal to the emperor against conclud-
ing peace.
Alone on the plains of Manchuria
midway between the two great armies,
the Russian and Japanese command
ers Will meet to sign the armistlce
which will pave the way for the Wash
ington conference.
Barring the distances and conse-
quent delay, the Japanese are entirely
satisfied with the selection of Wash
ington as the place for the peace CON
ference.
Another important detail which has
been the subject of informal CONVEX
sations at the White house is the Ian
guage to be used at conferences. Rus
STA will ask that the French Language
be used; Japan will express a pref
erence for English, and in recognition
OF the courtesies to be extended Ine
plenipotentiaries by the Washington
government, diplomats believe that the
English language, if not accepted as
the official language of the conference,
VIII be used jointly with the French
the proceedings of the conference being
recorded in both tongues.

Japan will not take the initiative in re-.
questing an armistice. 1t is improb-
able, however, that she would insist
on Russia making the request. II IS
generally expected that when the mis-
sions have been announced the pres.
dent will suggest to the belligerens
the advisability of limited truce and
that this suggestion will be accepted.
Instructions will then go to LineYitch
and Oyama to sign the armistice.
The whole question of an armistice
has been informally discussed at the
White House, and the belief in diplO
matte circles is that there will not be
hitch in the field by the Russian and
Japanese commanders, and there are
indications that this will be finally ap
proved in st. Petersburg.
General commentator is voiced in
diplomatic circles of the presidents
tact in not communicating to Japan
the suggestion from st. Petersburg for
a reconsideration of the selection Of
Washington for the conference. The
irrevocable opposition of Japan to any
capital of Europe was a matter Of com
mon knowledge in Washington, and
the transmission of any such sugges.
ton, it was realized, would only invite
emphatic refusal from Japan and pos.
sibly seriously menace the convening
Of the conference.

A LORD IN
TROUBLE
By DONALD ALLEN
Copyright, 1905, bp r. b.. Mcclure


For the last 200 years 1t has been the
custom in a certain branch of the Brit.
ish government that he hrst lord, who
would naturally be supposed to be at
the head of the department, should eff
face himself for the benefit of the sec
ond. In other words, he Is a figure
head and supposed to be content with
the honor of the appointment. If the
matter Is not understood by the gen
eral public, 1t Is thoroughly understood
inside the ring" and a first lord may
take a trip to Africa for his full term
for all that Will be asked of him at
home.
When Lord X. was appointed first
lord no one should have better under
stood that the intention was to honor

Silent Wisdom.

Keep still. When trouble is brewing,
keep still. Even when SANDER is get
ting OF his legs, keep still. When your
feelings are hurt, keep still-till you
recover from your excitement at any
rate. Things look differently through
an unagitated eye.
DR.. Burton relates how once in q
commotion he wrote q letter and sent
1t and wished he had not. "In my later
years." he said, II had another COM
motion and wrote a long letter; bit
life had rubbed a little sense into me,
and l kept that letter in my pocket
against the day when 1 could look 1t
yer without agitation and without
tears. l was glad l did. Less and less
1t seemed necessary to send it. 1 was
not sure it would do any hurt, but In
my doubtfulness 1 leaned to re~ticence,
and eventually it was destroyed"
Time works wonders. Wait till you
can speak calmly, and then you will
not need to speak, maybe.

lamity If he laid down his burden, Lord
X. was no Dol appointed first lord
than he took his place and gave the
second lord to understand that he In
tended to run things.
Confusion and CONSERVATION arose at
once. Lord X. was no more fitted for
the position than he humblest work
man in England, but who was going
to bell the cat and tell him SO? He was
sure to make blunders and mix things
up, and just at that time the govern
ment wanted particularly to have
things working smoothly. Some one
higher up was finally found to give
Lord K. a hint that he wasn't expected
to NEEDLE with things ut headquarters,
and the less he said for publication as
first lord the better for himself and
the government.
"Egad, but l have been appointed
first lord, and first ,ord | will be!
was his reply. Il was appointed be
cause | appeared to be the only man
In the country who could conduct that
department properly, und | do not In
tend to disappoint ny friends or the
government shall be ut my desk the
same as any clerk"
Here was m unprecedented state of
affairs, and many consultations were
held. Even royalty was appealed to.
1t was admitted on NIL sides that the
first lord would have to step out, but
it was also admitted that he was fool
enough to raise u row If any more
broad hints were given him
In this emergency an outsider was
summoned. He was not only an out
slider so far as otfictaldom was con-
cerned, but outside of politics alto
gether, and not II hundred people in
England knew him by sight. He was
asked to do what the queen had said
she saw no way of Doing herself. He
waited one week to see If Lord Is.
would not fall out of a cab and break
his neck, and then he began work.
There being no official room or Off
cial desk or official messenger or Off
ella anything else for the first lord, he
had taken possession of the second
lords quarters and was working to
save England Inc her colonies to pos
terity when a messenger arrived with
an important document. The messen-
ger had come from France In all haste.
The document was SO important that
it was sealed in four places and tied
with the reddest of red tape, and the
second lord, who carried 1t to the first
lord, looked awed and handled the big
envelope with reverence. 1t was a doc
ument not to be opened until the three
lords should be seated together in coun-
Gil, and 1t so happened that the third
lord had gone fishing or somewhere
else that day. The first lord would be
the custodian Of the package for the
day. 1t was left in his hands. and n
he swelled with pride and dignity he
put a paperweight on 1t and went out
to lunch.
Five minutes after his return, an
hour and II half later, all England be-
gan to tremble. In five more she was
perspiring and feeling her knees wab-
BILE. The paperwaight was still there,
but the important document from
was missing. Lord X. grew

GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND.
How Their Claims Were Established
Il the Middle Ages.

A curious meeting was held In Lyons
ON Jan. 4, 1859. The royal commits
sioners solemnly sat In council to de-
eide the question If lawyers and doc
tors could be regarded as gentlemen.
1t proved too hard a problem for the
wise heads, and the doctors and law
yers themselves were summoned to
prove their right to gentility. The mat
ter vas settled to the satisfaction of
the professional parties.
In the middle ages of England her
aids went through the counties to ex
anime into the claims of landholders
to be called gentlemen. There Is In ex-
istence an interesting list of the dis
qualified, and one reads today the
shame of a certain Thomas Robbins
who failed to establish the title and
Anscote, a representative of III of the
Oldest families, Is registered as ''en-
titled to be styled a gentleman, al
though worth not more than $780,"
Brooke, an old writer, has given the
world his opinion of what constitutes
a gentleman, and his definition has
never been excelled:
"The character, or. rather, quality, of
a gentleman does not in any degree de-
pend on fashion or mode or state or
opinion; neither does it change with
customs, climates or ages. But, as the
spirit of God alone can inspire 1t, SO 1t
is that quality Of heart which is the
same yesterday, today and forever"

country seat. AS a leader he had made
was as dangerous to his friends as to
his enemies. He was fussy, Ill bal

was to get rid of him without hurting
his feelings. Perhaps a lord should
know when a movement of that sort
is on foot and appreciate its worth and
do the retiring act In a graceful man.

AS TO THE GAME LAWS

A gentlemen has announced HIM
self as an independent candidate for
the House of Delegates in Hanover
county and in giving statement OF
his views, after favoring the Torrens
system of land laws, etc, makes a
bid for votes by stating that he will
advocate a repeal of the present
game laws and substitution III
their stead of law giving to each
land owner absolute power to Kill or
capture at any time and in any sea-
son the game on his land. As nm adj
vocate of proper laws for the Pro-
lection of game, we are naturally
opposed to this agitation, which
hobs up every time there is
about 10 be a legislative session and
which at times gains some Roadway
in the Legislature itself. 1t is in the
first place based On an utterly erro-
neous idea OF the common law, thelm-
preston being prevalent among
many that the game on a man $
land is the property OF that man.
while in truth by thecOmmOn law no
man owned any property in the wild
birds or animals on his land until
they were either tanned or killed. The
farmer is no more the owner OF
covey OF cartridges which happen to
be on his farm than is the man who
lives ten miles from him. though he
can, of course, protect them through
his owership of the land, SO long as
they remain thereon. 1t is a mis-
taken theory and one which, ii put
in operation, would shortly result i'll
the determination OF game all over
the State. Partridges are growing
scarcer already, even with the safe
guards thrown around them. and in
stead of being in favor al letting
down the bars, each farmer who de
sires to see these splendid birds in
crease rather than decrease should
be in favor of laws which will furnish
them protection. Under the power
given them by statute it is at pres
ent, in view Of the scarcity OF birds
caused by hard winter and heavy
rains this summer, worth considera-
ton by the boards of supervisors in
counties hereabOuts as TO whether
or not they shall shorten the hunting
season this year, say from November
1st to December 10th, rather than
let it remain from November LIST to
February LIST. Each board has
power to do this, and if done this
season it would impose little or no
hardship on the huntsmen and afford
valuableprotection to thepartridges.
The matter is one each board should
consider.
