ried him TO the platform. There he re-

VETERANS WILL
WITNESS LAUNCH
Pusey andj Jones Company
Adds Another Feature to
Weeks Program
no STATE FLAGS TO Be SEEN

Thinking probably that a good many
delegates to the National Encampment
of the Union Veteran Legion. which be-
gins here on Tuesday next, have never
witnessed a launching, the Pusey and
Jones Company has made arrange
ments to launch the large steel tug,
under course Of construction in that
concerns yards, on Tuesday morning
next, at which function the veterans
will be invited. The launcS will take
place at Ills o'clock a. m, following
which the delegates to the eneamp-
ment and their friends will be taken
through the company's extensive plant
One of the noticeable features OF the
decorations in the city is the absence
of State flags. Plenty of red, white
and blue. the national cOlors, is seen
everywhere. but State flags are con-
spicious by their absence in the decora-
tions.
1t has always been the custom In
every State to consider a convention as
much Of an honor to the State as to
the city in which it is held, and in
consequence It is pointed out that the
State flag of Delaware should be more
prominently displayed.

MAY RESTORE QUIET
TO TURBULENT TOXIC
Government Expects Trouble
to Cease When True
Peace Terms Are Known

Toxic. Sept S. $50 p. m. delayed in
transmission.)
At an informal meeting, which took
place to-day between the Premier, Court
Katsura, and members Of both Houses Of
the Diet. representing their respective
parties and association, Court Kaisura
made a full statement concerning the
peace negotiations. 1t now transpires that
the report that Cape soya, on La Pc
rouse Straits could not be certified I'm
unfounded. the only stipulation made
with Russian being in regard TO the free
passage of the straits.
Japan acquires a suzerainty over Ko-
rea and will control entirely with a free
hand the affairs OF the peninsular rail-
road south of Changshun, not Changtu,
the former being ceded to Japan, with the
right to retain military guards for the
protection of the railroad. Japan also
holds the right TO retain the collieries at
Fushan and Yentai, even after the evacu-
alton of the country by the Russians.
About ten months Is the period allowed
to complete the removal Of the Russian
troops from Manchuria.
NO STIPULATION EXISTS.
When the fact that no stipulation ex-
lists against the fortigcation Of Cape soya
and that Japan is TO have free hand
in the government Of Korea becomes
known, it is expected that the popular in
dignation will be considerably allayed.
The avtual expense of keeping the Rus
sian prisoners of war is to be paid to
Japan. 'ltstgHFI
Baron Yamamoto. Minister Of the Ma
Wy, who was present at the meeting
said that although there was a strong
popular dissatisfaction with the terms Of
peace, It must be horne in mind that a
far heavier sacrifice of life would be ne
cessary to take vladivostok than that in
volved in the capture Of OPT Arthur, be-
sides the heavy monetary outlay.
/ 1t was advisable, therefore, he said,
to be satisfied with the present terms.
In conclusion. Baron Yamamoto said that
Russia was sure 10 build strong navy,
and that Japan must be prepared 10 make
adequate provision for such contingen-
cy.

the local had cleared the south-bound
track the fast-running freight had
crashed into it,

iugth e express sat John II. Rankin. At
ris side stood Harry Baker. the conduc-
tor. This was Rankins first run on this
line, and Baker was guiding him along
the roadway.
Both men saw their. danger at the same
time. but too late to 'leap for safety. The
fireman had also seen that a collision was
unavoidable.
With a shout of warning to the two men
he jumped from the, cab just as the trains
came together.
The engine Of the fast freight toppled
over, pining under its ponderous ma
chinery the engineer and conductor.
AS the locomotive fell its steam pipes
burst and both men were scalded to death
On box car of the local stood Frank
Bond with his back toward the on-com-
ing express The force of the collision
hurled him to the ground and he was
crushed to death.
Two Of his companions were slightly
hurt.
Half a dozen freight cars were shat
tered and the tracks were covered with
wreckage for a distance OF two hundred
yards.
