DECLARES DONNA TO Be
A GREAT HUMBUG

Chicago, Aug. ga special cable.
gram to the Daily News from st. Pc
tersburg says:
Opinion in this city declares that in
the matter of the new national assem-
bly, tho mountain has brought forth a
mouse.
The manifesto has disappointed all.
The Novoe Vremya, however, while
admitting that the doums is sadly de-
fcient in real power, finds solsce in
the fact that half loaf is better than
no bread, that the Rubicon has been
crossed and progress having become
positive, is therefore imminent. But
the leading zemstvoists are respondent
and think their hopes Of pacific solu.
ton Of the nations needs have been
blighted.
Prince Wolkonsky, whose opinion
has great weight with the Russian peo-
pie, said:
1.-THE sincerely conceived, secretly
elaborated and stealthily proclaimed
douma is humbug. 1t deceives no.
body and will precipitate a revolution.
The ukase outlining its scope excludes
from the franchise professional men,
laborers, shopkeepers, the entire mid
die class and the Jews. Twenty mil
lion of city population get less num-
Der of representatives than 2,000,000
illiterate Muzhiks, because the latter
are under official guidance.
"par0dy Of Popular Assembly,"
"Odessa, with 100000 inhabitants,
and Riga, with 800, 900, have only one
representative each, though the ma
jority Of their people are Christians.
Cities in which Jews form a majority
are denied representation altogether.
Jews are forbidden to reside in the
country and thus they are excluded
from the douma. Neither Poland, Fin
land, nor the Caucasus is represented.
cit is not necessary for bills to pass
the douma to become laws and the
ministers of the ozsr are not bound to
answer to the members of that party.
Its minutes and it's debates are secret.
These regulations make the douma a
mere parody of popular assembly,
while preserving intact the autocracy,
which the representatives Of the peo.
pie must swear to uphold. Thus the
whole reform is ephemeral, like the
zemstvo and judiciary reforms, which
the autocracy granted and then abro-
gated"

PEACE CONFERENCE
IS POSTPONED

Portsmouth, N. g., Aug. 22.-To-
days peace conference has been post
poned until tomorrow at $3.50 a. m.
This will give the czar time to fully
consider the questions relative to the
determination Of the Japanese that there
can be no further concessions.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1905-08-24

Portsmouth, Aug. 21.-The chances
of peace have undoubtedly been i'm.
proved by President Roosevelt's action
in stepping into the breach in a last
heroic endeavor to induce the warning
countries to compromise their "irrec'
oncilable differences" but the result
is still in suspense.
The ultimate decision of the issue
has passed from the plenipotentiaries
to their principals, from Portsmouth
to st. Petersburg, and perhaps. in a
lesser extent, to Tokyo.
The Associated Press ia able to an
nounce that the feature Of the propo-
sition of President Roosevelt commun.
icated through Baron Rosen to M.
Witte, and by the latter to Emperor
Nicholas, was based on the principles
of arbitration.
Whether the president oontemplates
arbitration on all of the articles on
which the principals have already
agreed or on the question of indemnity
cannot be stated with positiveness, but
it is more than probable that It relates
only to indemnity or to indemnity and
the cession Of the island of Sakhalin.
Neither ia it possible to say whether
the president has yet made similar
proposal to Japan.
The customary diplomatic proceed
ing in such case would be to submit
the proposal simultaneously to both
countries, but there might be advan-
tage in securing the adherence of one
before submitting it to the other.
ENJOYS Have Said No Once.
To Emperor Nicholas, the author of
The Hague peace conference, the sug-
gestion of arbitration, which will nee
essarily Immediately command the
sympathy, the public opinion Of the
world, will be particularly hard to re-
ject.
II he agrees, Japan, if she has not
already done 80, will be all the more
bound to submit her claim to the de.
cision of an impartial arbiter. Ac-
cepted by both sides. it would involve
great extension of the principle OF
arbitration, as nations have heretofore
declined to arbitrate on questions in.
volving "their honor and dignity"
Both Mr.. Takahira and M. Witte, in
the early stages of the conference, alb.
solutely rejected the idea of arbitra.
ton, and only Saturday both reiterated
their disbelief in such a solution. II
was noticed, however, that M. Whites
opinion was not expressed as strongly
as it was last week.
According to current gossip Baron
Komura told the president that japan
would yield on articles 10 and II
That Japan would yield on these two
points if Russia would accept articles
8 and 8 Indemnity and Sakhalin) il
considered certain, but reports pretend
ing to describe with exactness the char
sctei of the presidents proposition te
Baron Rosen are probably simply
shrewd guesses. M. Witte has never
communicated it to the mem bers Of
his encourage, and the Japanese are
absolutely silent.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 22.-President
Roosevelt has not abandoned hope of a
successful issue of the Washington
peace conference. Neither has he re.
Taxed his efforts to prevent a rupture
between the conferees when they re
convene this afternoon at Portsmouth.
Events of Importance succeeded each
other rapidly here yesterday. On an
early morning train Baron Kaneko, a
confidential representative in this
country of the Japanese government,
arrived in Oyster Bay quite unexpect-
eddy. He has a general invitation to
visit the president at any time, and
was received as soon as he arrived at
Sycamore Hill.
That he was the bearer Of important
information is known, but the nature
of his message is not disclosed. He re-
manned with the president three-quar-
ters of an hour. At the conclusion of
the conference the baron declined even
to discuss the mission, although he
politely expressed regret at his inabil-
ity to enlighten his interrogators.
Oob W. ut0us&OO . OVtstuOUs
Surrounded by half dozen newspa-
per men he talked with apparent frank
ness, but his words were not luminous
with information. He expressed the
opinion, which he was careful to note
was simply his own, that Japan had
made every concession in the confer.
enoe that victorious power could be
expected to make, and that the Japan.
csc people would resent any serious re-
cession by the ENJOYS from the position
they had taken.
Following Baron Kaneko's visit
President Roosevelt had his acting sec
rotary, Mr.. Barnes, with him tor two
hours. In addition to the matter which
the baron had presented to him, the
president received and considered an
accumulation Of dispatches and letters
Late in the day important messages
were received from Portsmouth, the
responses to which occupied the presi
dents attention for considerable time
Not the slightest indication Of the
character Of the correspondence wat
permitted to become public. The pres
ident, acting as intermediary between
the two warning governments, feels
that secrecy is even more incumbent
upon him than though the matter re-
lated wholly to him personally or te
the United States.

An Election Necessary

The decision Of the Supreme
court in declaring the biennial
law unconstitutional makes ii
necessary to hold an election this
fall. The entire list Of county
officers, except Register of Deeds,
Clerk of the District Court,
County Attorney and County
Assessor are TO be elected.
From present indications there
will be plenty of candidates for
the several offices. Republicans
with one exception are now hold
ing these Offices and if proper
care is taken in the nomination
of their successors there is no
reason why the republican party
may not elect their ticket.
There are plenty of men in the
ranks of the republican party who
are strong and capable to fill the
several Offices with credit to them
selves and the county. If such
men are selected to fill these
places by the convention their
election is certain.

can state convention will have
the election of chairman, sec
