He Wanted No Help.

The humor of situation sometimes
depends not merely on a spoken
phrase, but may turn on the way it is
used, the accent that marks the ex-
preston. One day recently tottering,
peevish old man entered the lobby of
fashionable New York hotel and made
a more or less labored advance toward
the elevator used exclusively to reach
the guest rooms. He vas not guest,
but had been in the house on earlier
occasions. One of the hall boys who
had been but little time on the force
approached the old man and in man
ner that should have indicated dis
position to be courteously helpful said
to him, "Anything you want, sir? The
old man misinterpreted the hall boys
inquiry as a challenge. He halted for
an instant, long enough to glare at the
youth, then resumed his way, saying
more to himself than in answer to the
query, "Going up to see my mother"
And, sure enough, he was on his way
to see his mother, ninety-eight years
old, who was younger in appearance
than he and not SO -peevish by half.

CONDEMNED WIFE MURDERER
SECURES REVIEW OF CASE
BY SUPREME COURT.
APPEAL WILL Be HEARD IN OCTOBER
PRISONER DECLARES HIS INNO.
CENCE AND SAYS HE WILL
NEVER BE HANGED.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Johann Hoch,
the man of many wives, convicted of
the murder of one of them and under
sentence of death, has escaped the
gallows third time. He was to have
been hung Friday, but supersedeas
was issued on an order of Justice
Magruder of the supreme court.
The justice said that he had care
fully examined the record presented
by Hoch's attorneys and his study Of
it satisfied him that there was enough
doubt to justify a review of the entire
case by the supreme court. The case
will come up at the October term of
the court at Springfield. Hoch has
been confident that the sentence Of
hanging would not be inflicted.
He had very little to say when in
formed of the action of the justice.
Jailer Whitman said it was the first
time in his experience that pris-
oner has exhibited no concern about
his fate previous to the execution.
Hoch was smoking cigar when
told of the issuance of the writ. Il
am not guilty of this horrible MURDER"
he said, "and now l will have the op-
portunity Of proving myself innocent
before the highest court in the state.
I never have felt that l would go to
the gallows. l may be guilty Of other
crimes, but never that of murder"

FRESH DISORDERS BREAK OUT.
Russian Peasants Destroying Property
of Land Owners.

Odessa, Aug. 25.-Fresh agrarian
disorders have broken out in the Eliza
bethgrad and Alexandria districts and
the peasants are destroying the prop
erty of the land owners. A big estate
at Butzky has been entirely demol-
ished.
During a fair in the village of Lii
hovia, in the district of Wernedne
proysk, a crowd of peasants attacked
the merchants. After pillaging their
goods the peasants massacred num-
ber of the merchants, mutilated 9th
ers, picking out their eyes and cutting
off their ears.
Warsaw, Aug. 25.-The whole gov
ernment of Warsaw has been placed
under martial law.
A bridge on the Vistula railway
near Radoum has been blown up and

PRESIDENT MAKES NEW MOVE IN
ENDEAvoR TO SAVE PEACE
! CONFERENCE.
INDEMNITY ONLY BAR TO TREATY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE PROPOSES TO
LET OUTSIDE PARTIES SET
TIE QUESTION.

portsmouth, N. H, Aug. 25.-Presi-
oent Roosevelt's moves to save the
peace conference are following each
other In quick succession. He is now
oeIleYed to have taken a new step,
possibly the final one, in the shape of
a last appeal to both sides to leave
the question of the purchase price of
the northern half of the island of SAX
halln to arbitrament of a board or
commission. Final arbitration has
been in the presidents mind from the
beginning. This, however, is an infer
ence from what is actually known to
nave taken place in the past twenty
1our hours. He sent to NJ. Witte dur
ing the night long message, without
doubt outlining the new step he had
resolved upon. Presumably this mes
sage was prepared after the president
lad received the account of Ambassa-
dor Meyers audience with the en-
peror at Peterhof. 1t would seem to
follow logically that Mr.. Meyers reply
was not satisfactory and therefore ne
cessitated another appeal not to allow
a mere question of money to stand in
the way OF peace and to suggest a
new form of compromise for the point
still in issue. The message of the
president reached Assistant Secretary
Peirce at an early hour and was
placed in the hands of Baron de
Rosen.
Whatever is taking place between
the president and the Japanese side
cannot be traced, but it is presumed
the president wants to commit Peter
hof before approaching Toxic, though
it may be that he is working stimuli
taneously at both places.
Morris tribune., 1905-08-26

So the situation stood when the con-
ference adjourned until Saturday. But
the president did not surrender. He
carried his appeal for peace to the
throne of Romanoffs, to the author of
the dream of reduced ornaments and
universal peace. Ambassador Meyers
three-hour audience with Emperor
Nicholas during the very time when
the plenipotentiaries at the navyyard
were explaining to each other their
irreconcilable differences may have
proved the deciding factor. There is
yet no clue 20 the response Mr.. Meyer
received from Emperor Nicholas, but
possession and he is in position to
determine his next step. If the en-
peror declined absolutely to yield
there may be still time to turn to
Toxic for a last appeal to forego
$300,000,000 or $400,0O0,OO0 rather
than protract the war Indefinitely at
the cost of millions in money and
thousands of lives, with no surety that
she will ever be able, whatever her
military successes, to force tribute
from her burly adversary.
Now, too, in the final struggle the
influence of the neutral powers and
the threats Of financiers can be
brought to bear to force the combat
ants to cease the bloody strife which
has been going on for nineteen
months.

COMPROMISE is REJECTED
RUSSIA REFUSES TO PAY $500, ,ooo,.
600 FOR NORTHERN HALF
/ OF SAKHALIN.

Portsmouth, N. H, Aug. 25.-The
looms larger and larger in the Russo
japanese crisis. He stands between
the warning countries, insisting that
the peace conference shall not fail.
Had not he stepped into the breach
the conference probably would already
have gone to pieces.
The strength of the presidents posi-
tion is that he commands the conf
dence of both sides. He has already
accomplished much, using his good
Offices to impress on each side the
necessity of mutual concessions, and
both sides have already yielded a
great deal to his persuasion. Only a
single point still separates them, but
it Is, as it has been from the begin
ning, the crux.
1t was Mr.. Roosevelt's compromise
proposition which Baron Komura for
mally presented at Wednesdays meet
ing, in which Japan agreed to entirely
withdraw articles 10 and II (the sur
render of interned warships and linn
itation of Russia's naval force in the
Far East) and to substitute for art
icles and 9 (cession of Sakhalln and
indemnity a new article providing
for an arrangement by which Japan
should get legal title to the southern
half of Sakhalin, which she possessed
before the treaty of 1875, while Russia
should redeem or repurchase her title
to the northern half of the island for
200 ,o0O, 900 yen, or $600,O0O,000.
While it is Mr.. Roosevelt's PROPOSE
tion in substance the Associated Press
is informed that as offered it varies
slightly from the terms OF the COM
promise as the president suggested it
to both sides. In exactly what par
+icular cannot be ascertained. Rus
sia if can be stated, while rejecting
tho compromise because it included
remuneration for cost of the war I'M
der another name, was willing and
indeed offered to divide the island of
sakhalin by not only restoring the

ITALIANS WOULD KILL CHINESE
Race War in Alaska Results in Death
for Several Men.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-News of a
race war that broke out in the salmon
packing plant at Nshagak, Alaska, be-
tween the Chinese and Italian work
men last Monday, was brought down
by the salmon packer Salvador, which
arrived here during the day.
A petty dispute between an Italian
and Chinaman brought on a general
engagement and for days 100 Chinese
were besieged in the bunkhouse by a
mob of enraged Italians, WHO swore
they would exterminate the last Mon
golian i'll the camp.
The riot was finally quelled by
troops summoned by the superinend-
ent from the nearest military point
after several men had been killed and
injured on 10Th sides.
After the riot was over drumhead
courtmartial was called to fix the
blame for the outbreak, but the blame
was not fixed on any one.

President Roosevelt's efforts for peace

Precisely what the president is do

$4,000 against the estate of the late

took place last year. About two
months ago one Of the executors of
the estate discovered them by the re-
porting of one of the checks as an
overdraft. At the time Hennessey de-
clared the check was mistake and
left the Office, saying he would rec
tify it. For several weeks he was
