Branch Lines.

New York, Aug. 14.-That the Erie
Railroad officials were alarmed for the
safety of President Roosevelt on his
way from Chautauqua to Jersey City
on Saturday is shown by the fact
made known yesterday, that the Presi
dents car did not come over the main
line. Instead, the Chautauqua special
was broken in two at Suffern, New
York, and the presidential party was
brought in by a roundabout way over
two small branches.
President Roosevelt is said to have
objected to the unusual precautions
that were taken, but acquiesced when
positive orders from President Under
wood, of the Erie, were shown him.
These orders were issued as the result
of a letter received by the Paterson
police, which said that there was a
plot to blow up the Presidents train
near Ridgewood, New Jersey.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 1.-THE sit

wave, which almost drove the foreign

OF the conference, was broken by yes

tion regarding the hermit kingdom,
namely, to make it a province of

If there be rupture, as the best in
formed believe there will be, each side
will maneuver to place the RESPONSE

seem disposed to throw out an init
nation that M. Witte is trying to wear
out his adversaries and compel them
TO break off negotiations. This init
nation is Indignantly repudiated by
the Russians, who contend, as does
their principal, that Russia is willing
to have the fullest publicity of the
proceedings in order that the world
may judge between them 1t will be

Article One, Revised Agreed To.

construction about seven miles north
east of El Rito is progressing nicely
It measures two miles in length and
almost one mile in width, with depth
of 125 feet Another reservoir is to

looking over the possibilities Of build
ing a connecting branch with the Den
