Short Peace Items.

Americas national capital has been
between the plenipotentiaries of Rus
STA and Japan for 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 armistice
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 louise 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 the
plenipotentiaries by the Washington
government, diplomats believe that the
English language, if not accepted as
the official language of the conference,
will be used jointly with the French,
the proceedings of the conference being
recorded in both tongues.

Wants Open Door.

The German emperor, it is under
stood, declined the offer on the ground
that he had encouraged the sultan to
invite the powers to a conference, and
also because what Germany wanted
was not special privileges in Morocco,
put the open door and strict adher-
ence to the Madrid convention. The
acceptance of such proposition, the
emperor held, would be a violation of
that convention. Since the emperor's
refusal to participate in any arrange
ment involving the establishment of
anything like sphere of influence in
Morocco the negotiations at Paris have
not progressed very rapluly.

MOROCCO TROUBLE
GERMANY, FRANCE and GREAT
BRITAIN In A MIXUP.
Germany's Policy oward France Indi.
rectIy Directed Against England
Treaty-Madrid Convention Agree.
ment Violated, Says Germany.

London, June 19.-The crisis which
Germany is forcing upon the nations
will soon assume new phase. Every
move thus far made by the kaiser has
been aimed at France, although chiefly
designed to damage British interests.
The government of this country has
not the slightest desire to shelter itself
behind its more exposed neighbor.
There is reason to believe Lord Lans-
downe will soon take measures to
make our position clear and the issue
direct.
The policy Germany is pursuing to-
ward France, if directed against Eng
land, could have but one result. The
British government is by no means I'M
willing to put the genuineness of Ger
man aggression to a test, and oppor-
tunity to do so is likely to arise in
the near future.
1t is understood that France, reply
ing to Germanys demand for an in
ternatiOnal conference on Morocco,
will consent, with the proviso that no
existing agreement to which France is
party shall be interfered with. This
answer, of course, is equivalent to a
declaration that the Anglo-French-
Spanish compact must stand. Ger
many can not accept it without aban-
doning her chief contention.
Why Germany Protests.
The Morocco trouble dates from the
signing of the Anglo-French treaty ON
April 4, 1904. That treaty included a
special arrangement between France
and England regarding Morocco, which
Germany claims is in contradiction to
article one of the convention of Mad
rid, negotiated by the powers repre-
scented at the Madrid conference of
1SS0-81.
What has especially offended Ger
many is the alleged failure of France
to inform her officially of the Anglo
French treaty. France claims that II
days before the treaty was signed
the articles concerning Morocco were
submitted to the German government
them. The Berlin government insists
that it was practically ignored by
France in the negotiations of this
treaty, and points to the fact that Eng
land, as soon as the treaty was sign
ed, submitted the articles affecting
Egypt to Germany for approval.
These articles, which concerned the
Egyptian debt, were approved at Ber-
lin with certain reservations.
1t is understood on two occasions
the German representative at Tangier
has intimated to the French minister
the dissatisfaction of Germany with
the French policy in Morocco, and as
long ago as last November the Ger
man emperor informed the sultan that
he would recognize no such violation
OF the Madrid convention as was in
Volved in the new Anglo French ar
rangement.

Proved BY a Candle.

A simple but interesting expert
ment may be made with a lighted
candle by one who holds it near the
door connecting two rooms, one warm
and the other cold.
The windows in both rooms should
be shut, SO that there will be no
draught, and the door between them
should be kept closed until the mo-
ment of the experiment.
When the candle has been lighted,
open the door ever so little, so that
there may be only narrow crack for
the air to pass through. Now, if you
hold the candle at the upper part of
the door, the flame will be blown in
the direction of the cooler room, but
move it down the crack to the bot
tom of the door and the flame will be
blown toward the warmer room.
Move the candle slowly up from the
bottom and place will be found

A Dogs Ruse.

The other day | witnessed an anus
ing instance of canine sagacity
worthy of commemoration in print It
was staying with friends who have O
varied collection of dogs-a Blenheim
spaniel and her five puppies, a fox ter
rier and two fine deer-hounds. This
happy family are allowed to spend part
of the day in the drawing room, pro-
vided they conform to certain rules
as to boundary lines and an amicable
agreement among themselves. The
hearthrug is the favorite "coign of
vantage" with them ALL Zuna the
deerhound, sauntered in one morning
and found every approach to the fire
blocked by the slumbering forms of
her companions. She tried gently to
scratch passage for herself, but was
repealed with growls. So, apparently
suffering from extreme lowness of
spirits, she retired to a distant corner
of the room; but not to sleep. For
ten minutes she crouched there, pom.
dering silently, then, suddenly bound
ing up, flew to the window and barked
as If an invading army were In sight.
OF course every one, human and ca
nine, followed in mad haste. The
hearthrug was left unoccupied, and
Zuna quietly trotted round, stretched
her huge form before the fire, and
in an instant was snoring heavily,
leaving us all staring out into vacancy

Heroine Of Nine.

Presence of mind is a great but
rather rare gift, which one does not
expect children to possess. But Ruth
Potter of Farnworth, although only
of the tender age of nine years, has
it, and was by means of it able to
save a little child from almost certain
death, says an English paper. The
wee three-year-old BARN was toddling
across the street, while an electric
tram was running at the top of it's
speed. The shouts of the driver
caught the ear of Ruth, who, at the
risk Of her own life, sprang at the tiny
tot and just dragged her clear of the
lines as the car rolled past. The
brave lassie was presented with a gui-
nea and framed certificate but valor
is its own reward. Still, it is pleasant
to know that Ruth's pluck and pres
ence of mind were appreciated.

about midway between the top and
the bottom of the door where the
flames will be almost stationary.
This seems like a very simple thing
but it illustrates the scientific prin-
ciple that warm air, being light, rises
and flows through the top of the door
into the cooler room, while cold air,
being heavier, stays near the floor
and seeks its entrance into the warm
room at the bottom of the door.
Hence the blowing of the flame in
different directions at the top and the
bottom of the same door.

The Way, the Truth, the Life.
Amid life's wild commotion,
Where nought the heart can cheer,
Who points beyond its ocean
10 yonder brighter sphere?
Our feeble footsteps guiding.
When from the path we stray,
Who leads to bliss abiding?
Christ is our only WAY.
When doubts and fears distress us,
And all around is gloom,
And shame and fear Cypress us,
Who can our souls illume?
heavens rays are round us cleaning,
And making all things bright,
The sun of TRUTH is beaming
In glory on our sight.
Who fills our heart with gladness
mat none can take away?
VINO shows us, midst our sadness,
The distant realms of day?
Mid fears of death assailing,
Who stills the hearts wild strifei
It's Christ our friend unfailing.
The WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE.
