HONOLULU, Sept 6, via San Francisco,
Sept. l2.-The transport Sheridan brings
q story Of Alice Roosevelt's impulsiveness
while on the steamship Manchuria, on her

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
PARIS, Sept. l2.-The Petit Parisien will
Tomorrow print an interview had by NJ.
lHgadere, its correspondent, with President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
Mr.. Roosevelt is represented to have said
that the Russo-Japanese war was useless
and unhappy one. 1t arose from q mis-
understanding for which a solution could
easily have been found
Tho Japanese gained considerable ad-
vantage In the struggle, obtaining all they
wanted except an indemnity. while they
mad won place among the great world
Powers. They had shown extraordinary
Valor, patriotism and self-sacrifice, -char-
acterstics," he added, (which may well
surprise us Western nations, who have lost
some Of the virtues Of our ancestors"
According to the correspondent, Mr.
Roosevelt foresaw the Japanese marching
freely along the path Of civilization and
expansion, and becoming dangerous COM
mercial rivals Of Great Britain, Germany
and the United States, developing new,
although bloodloss, war, in which the
European and American nations will be
pitted against Japan.
The correspondent says Mr.. Roosevelt
ADMITTED that he advised the Japanese to
foreso their demand foran indemnity say
ing: If you were at Moscow an indemnity
would be matter Of course; but you are not.
Supposing you conquer Siberia' 1t will
cost you three or four hundred thousand
men and millions Of dollars, and be, after
all white elephant. You would far better
yield in the matter of an indemnify
The correspondent asserts that Mr. (.
Roosevelt added that his persuasion may
have occasioned the Japanese to abandon
their claim, but the diplomatic victory
was Witte's. 1t never would have been
so great If Japan had realized more quickly
that Russia would never pay.
He knew it, and repeated 1t many times
to the Japanese plenipotentiaries. but they
were obdurate, hoping that Witte would
weaken. In conclusion, the President saic:
"For Russia we must wait. She is passing
a crisis Of transformation. Faith and time
are in her favor"

to spend 100000 in installing girlless tele-

girls, but they calculate that each girlless
exchange will save $40, 900 a year.

will be installed in the entire Consolidated
territory, which includes Scranton, Wilkes
barre and ten other of the larger cities Of
