PRESIDENTS compRoMIssI
Mr.. Roosevelt Makes a Suggestion to
Russian Peace Envoys.

Portsmouth. y. H.. Aug. 23.-The As
sociated Press l. now In position TO re-
veal substantially the suggestion Of
President Roosevelt for breaking the
existing deadlock In the peace negotia-
tions and rescuing the conference from
failure. His solution would Ingenious
~ permit the satisfaction OF the Japan
ese demands for reimbursement for the
cost ot the war and M the same time
enable Russia 20 face the world with
the declaration that she had not added
a foot Of territory or paid kopeck Of
war tribute to the victor. The solutionI
u the one which has heretofore been
described In the Associated Press dis
patches as the natural and logical COM
promise. Tersely stated. It consists inI
an agreement by Russia 10 repurchass
possession Of either all or half Of the
Island o. Sakhalin. now In the military
occupation OF the Japanese for a sum.
the exact amount 81 which. II the two
countries cannot agree. shall be decided
by some method of arbitration hereaft-
er 20 De- determined. The purchase
money together with the sum japan
would obtala from the cession OF the
Chimes Eastern railroad and the main
tenance of the Russian prisoners In ia
pan would. Il is estimated. about equal
the amount claimed by Japan as her bill
for the cost OF the war. Possibly
therefore. the solution offered by the
president involves recession by japan
upon article five (the cession Of SAX
halin) and recession by Russia upon
article nine Indemnity. II seems
practically certain. though this cannot
be affirmed positively. that the presi-
dent was able 20 give NJ. Witte substan-
tial assurances that Japan would be
willing % accept such a compromise.
II was the presidents message TO Mr
Witte which caused the sensation Of

|. TH0S. FORTUNE
As A VtRS|f|ER

The New York Sun has the following
to say about the colored agitator, T.
Thomas Fortune, who is well known
here:
If Mr.. Timothy Thomas Fortune did
not invent the term 'Afro-American -
to describe the colored race, and it is
our impression that he did, he certainly
has made more use of it than any ona
else. He deserves the title of first
among the Afro-American poets. In
Dreams of Life'' fortune & Peter
son, New York; he has collected the
miscellaneous illusions in verse of
many years; not all he has written by
any means. but a judicious selection.
In an interesting and modest auto
biographical preface he tells us that:
''Of the accumulated mass of matter
found by far the larger part more
adapted to the CRATE than the public
eye; and perhaps much that has been
preserved and presented in this vol
ume might more appropriately have
been committed to the fiames'' This
disarms the reader who may be tempt
ed to agree with the author IS state
ment.
Mr.. Fortune writes with the sense of
rhythm that is Unborn in his race. He
may be reminiscent of other poets, as
many modern versifers are: he may be
not wholly conscious of absurdities in
narrating legends in rime, but he is
always melodious He has weakness
for the epic form and endeavors to re-
late in verse legends of Florida. One
of these, "The Bride of EIlerslee.' is
in the form, unusual nowadays, of six
cantos.
A stanza from long poem may give
an idea of Mr.. Fortune S command of
rhythm:
She dwelt near by the ocean wide;
The lighthouse was her earliest home;
From infancy she watched the tide
From out her elevated dome,
And saw the vessels swiftly glide
Upon the phosphorescent foam.
Versifying is not always as simple
work as this, and further on we find
the author in a hard wrestle with gram.
mar, but still rime and rhythm come
out ahead:
1t was when blew the winds a storm
In March, the month of wall and wind
/ That from the ocean came alarm
From those the elements did blind;
And paralyzed was each stout arm;
And direst fear was in each mind
The volume is handsomely printed
and is adorned with a good portrait OF
. Mr.. t. Thomas Fortune
