PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT MAKES
 ALAST EFFORT FOR PEACE

ly showed that the President considered that Japan's victories gave her the right to ask for an indemnity, in fact If not in name. and she was also entitled to Sakhalin. as her military occupation of Sakhalin gave her the right to the island. The President. however. claim, that when the full text of his propog s' tion is before the world. all critic1 . must cease. It is we'll therefore. as d to repeat the statement telegr1 ed last night from one in full pos, Jon Roosevelt:
 If the civilized world couy . now at this time the precise nature he prop ositions made to Russia g ~ Japan by President Roosevelt, it wos. seem that the force of the public opinion of the great neutral opinion of the world would induce the plenipotentiaries and their Governments to pause and con slider seriously the results before break- ing up finally the present conference without an agreement. Indeed, they might scarcely dare, in face of the worlds opinion, refuse to accept in principle at least the suggestions of- fered by the President"
 Peirce's Cipher Message.
 Assistant Secretary of State Peirce, after the announcement of the decision to adjourn over to Tuesday, saw both M. Witte and Mir. Takahira, and then sent a long cipher message to the Pres ident. -..
 Although the public tonight was led to believe that the meeting was defi- nitely adjourned until Tuesday, the As sociated Press learned late tonight that according to the joint understanding between NJ. Witte and Mir. Takahira, 1t was agreed that there would be no meeting until Japan's response to what may be regarded as the Russian ultima tum arrived. The meeting, therefore, may not be held until Wednesday or Tokio must now decide, and, judging from the tone of the Japanese press, the Government must face great deal of opposition at home If 1t yields further. M. Planchon acted as interpreter for M Witte and Mir. Taka- hira at this interview tonight. After the interview tonight, M. Witte called MT. De Martens and Mir. PokotiloR Tn 
 The interview between M. witte and MT Takahira was the sensation Of the day. Everybody debated 1t at high tension. On all sides the report had been spread that tomorrow would wit ness the final break up. and that tomor- row night the hotel would be deserted. The Russian attaches, who know M. Witte's position, talked of making their P. P. C.. calls, and were discussing the dates of the steamers sailing. etc.
 Then suddenly. at s o'clock, the ru- mor got abroad that M. Witte and MT. Takahira were in private consultation. Fifty correspondents barred the door of M. Wittes room. When 1t was opened M. Witte emerged and pretended to be greatly astonisiled at the crowd of jour- nalists. He appeared to be in very good humor and cracked several jokes in French, which most of those present did not comprehend, and then briefly made the announcement quoted above.

the Rev. Dixon ought to know that all
negroes are not brutes and that all
negroes are not criminals. The Rev.
Dixon should think Of the faithful
slaves who stood by their masters be-
fore and during the war, and of those
faithful negroes who have been true
to the white people since the war. He
also ought to remember that the Ku
Klux Klan did not redeem South Car
olina, but that Gen. Hampton did 1t
with his quiet, fearless and bloodless
leadership, and that the votes Of more
than $4,000 negroes helped to redeem
South Carolina from the so-called
Radical rule in 1875. If this play is
not a brutal play and a play that Is
calculated to excite murder, bring
about unrest, stir up bad feelings, up
set the pulpits and school houses,
overturn the civil government and
make a mockery Of all efforts towards
Justice and righteousness-in the name
of God, what Is It? The speeches Of
Senator Tillman in the south and the
north concerning the negro are the
voice Of an angel when they are COM
pared with this play Of "The Clans
man." II this is not the forerunner
of murder, bloodshed and anarchy, by
what name can we call It?
I remain yours respectfully,

FEES OF LAWYERS.
They Are Not Always as Large as They
Are Said to Be.

The vast majority Of lawyers do no
better than make a fair living, and II
an average could be made 1t would be
found that a large number must earn
ridiculously small sums. An estimate
recently made showing that there are
not five lawyers in New York who
make 100000 a year, not ten who
make $4,000, not fifteen who make
$50,000 and not twenty-five who make
$25, 900 is probably not far wrong.
above all things successful law
yer remarked not long ago, never take
a lawyers word about his salary. He
doesn't mean to prevaricate, but the
appearance Of prosperity Is so large a
part of his capital that 'bluffing' about
his income is a natural habit. l can
tell you what l make in year, but
| shouldn't expect you to believe II,
and l shouldn't wish you to believe 1t,
because 1t probably would be uncon-
scious!y exaggerated"
So many different things influence
a lawyers charge that II Is hard for
an outsider to even guess at his in
come. One man has an invariable rule
which he tries to carry out and thinks
he succeeds, although he never has
been able to carry it out exactly In his
whole career. He tries to estimate the
time he spends on each case and to
charge accordingly, gradually increas-
| ing his fee as his time has grown more
valuable. Another lawyer considers
how the work is done If it Is done
in a great hurry, forcing him to drop
other cases and to work at night as
well as during the day to complete 1t,
he charges much more than for case
that fits in easily with his other labor
Still another, a conscientious man,
who robs himself for fear Of being sus-
pected of robbing some one else, hgures
carefully the value of his services to
his client and reckons his fee upon re-
suits more than upon time or upon his
personal inconvenience.
But there are thousands of cases for
which no rule can properly adjust the
fee One example will serve. An ac-
ton was taken a year ago by one man
against another for 100000 and the de-
fendant came one day to his lawyer TO
say that he wasn't willing to meet the
matter in court and that the lawyer
might pay the money to the man VINO
had brought the action. The lawyer
had been interested in the case, and ne
asked his client to let him settle the
matter in his own way. The client ac-
quiesced on condition that the case
was not to be brought to court. A
few weeks later the plaintiff withdrew
the action. as the lawyer had foreseen
that he would. How much ought the
lawyer to have charged his client for
his service? The lawyer had spent lit
tie time over the case, but he had saw
ed the man $4,000. He sent bill for
SO, 500, which was promptly and CRATE
! fully paid.-Leslie's Magazine.

TIT For TAT.-The Duke of Argyle
some years ago was travelling in Can
ada on hunting trip. He Joined a
Canadian Pacific train about twenty
miles from Manitoba, and having been
roughing 1t fairly hard, the duke, as
he sank into a seat beside a fine
young lady from Boston, looked as be-
grimed and weather beaten a trapper
as ever brought his peltries into the
settlements.
Don't you find a too utterly pas
sionful sympathy with natures most
incarnate aspirations among the sky
topping mountains and the dim aisles
of the horizon touching forest, my
good man." said the soulful lady after
an interval.
"Oh, yes, yes" replied the apparent
backwoodsman, "and l also am fire.
uuently drawn into an exaltation of
rapt blissfulness and beatific incande-
scent infinity of abstract contiguity
when my horse stumbles."
Indeed" said the Boston maiden.
Il had no idea the lower classes ever
felt like that"

to a farmer to ask him the way to
the nearest town. 1t was about 11.3O
a. m, and l wanted to push on; but
these here southern fellers is so hos
pitable he would not let me. He says,
Light. stranger. an come to dinner.
So l lit
They had a great big dish Of fried
potatoes in the middle of the table.
The host pushed the dish towards me
an says, Have some, stranger l took
a spoonful an pushed 'em back. He
pushed 'em over again an says. Have
some more, stranger l took another
