Vehicles and Liahts.

In the discussion in the house of
commons on what is known as the
vehicles lights bill Mr.. Bigwood
made the remark, at is a curious
thing that while tramcars and mo-
tor cars, which it was practically
impossible to overtake and run into,
were obliged to carry rear lights the
slow going wagon, with the driver
often asleep, was exempted from
this regulation. This presents a
phase of the subject of the rights
of the road that is new to America.
Here the lights are carried in front
of the street cars and of motor cars,
possibly on the theory that there
can be no collision except between
things going in opposite directions.

CONDENSED STORIES.
LineoIn's Anecdote of Daniel Webster
and His Toothbrush.

During the famous Lincoln and
Douglas debating tour the rival can
didates came together in the cabin
of a river steamer which was no
torious for its slovenly appoint
ments, especially in the matter Of
towels, combs and brushes. As
usual, Lincoln was in a genial mood
and recalled an anecdote about
Daniel Webster, apropos of the stu
alton. One day the great New Eng
land orator was finishing his toilet
in the common wash room of a
steamer on the Wabash, using the
contents of well equipped case

IN THE FAR EAST
Such Would be the Result OF q
Failure of the Peace Con-
ierees to Agree.

forced in Expectation Of Final Rup-
ture, While Japs In the Field Are
Spelling for a Fight

oyster Bay.--A crisis in the peace
negotiations is approaching rapidly
whether there is to be peace between
Russia and Japan or a continuance
of the war will be determined very
likely within a few days.
Since he made his direct appeal to
Emperor Nicholas, President Roose-
welt has been awaiting developments,
hopeful that such efforts as he has
felt proper to make to avert failure
of the Washington conference might
not be futile. On Thursday these de-
yelopments began to appear. A re-
port from Ambassador Meyer at st,
Petersburg of his audience with EN-
peror Nicholas was received and In
addition some important advices from
Portsmouth reached the president.
The correspondent of Reuters Tele-
gram company at St. Petersburg,
was on Thursday authorized by Count
Lamsdorff, the foreign minister, to
state officially and in the most for
NAL manner, that Russia will pay
Japan no contribution, direct nor in
direct, nor will it make any cession
of territory whatever
1t is declared by prominent Rus
sians that Russia's sincere desire for
peace was manifested in the spirit ol
concession shown by the Russian
and that if Japan was willing to waive
this demand. which was consistent
neither with the honor nor the dignity
of Russia, there would be no trouble
in arranging peace, Japan's insist
ence on indemnity being the only bar
rier to the termination of the war.
The emperor's infeXible determine
tion to continue the war rather than
yield to demand which is regarded
as warrantable only in the case of
vanquished nation, is strengthened
by the latest dispatches received from
lttll, III nO lC-
ports the strength of the Russian posi-.
tion and speaks favorably of the spirit
and condition of his latest reinforce
ments and the morale of the entire
army.
Renforcements for the front are re-
ported as steadily arriving. The Thir-
teenth corps is now en- route, and the
war ministry is preparing to dispatch
composite corps in case negotiations
for peace fail. Only regular troops
and not reversists are now being for.
warded, and it is reported that the
city OF Moscow grenadiers have re.
ceiVed marching orders.
\ competent military attache of an
European power, who is acquainted
thoroughly with the defensive facili.
ties at Vladivostok, declares that the
Japanese will find that fortress q
harder nut to crack than Port Arthur
If they decide to break off negotia-
tions.
In the meantime the Japanese in
the field and many at home are clam.
oring for continuance of the war in
the far east, believing that they will
ultimately compel Russia to accept
terms.

FEARS RETURNING SOLDIERS.
One Reason Why Russia Hesitates to
Make Peace.

Berlin.-The dominant feeling in the
Russian court, as reported officially
here, is that Russia is in a better posi-
ton to go on with the war since she
has heard Japan's terms than she was
before because the dissemination OF
these terms in Russia is having the
effect of bringing most educated per-
sons to the conviction that the war
must be fought out. as the conditions
are insupportable and because the re-
turn to Russia of a half million sol
diers, discontented with their treat
ment in the far east and with the vain
results of their endurance, would add
to the internal ferment, while the gov
ernment would not be able to truth
fully answer the accusation that it
made a dishonorable peace.

THREATENED BY CHOLERA.
Russia Takes steps to Guard Against
Asiatic Disease.

Danzlg, Prussia.-The authorities
have failed to discover any new cases
of Asiatic cholera at Culm, West Prus
sia, or elsewhere in the territory ada
cent to the Vistula river. Stations
have been established along the river
near the Russian frontier for the pur-
pose of inspecting and limiting the
river traffic.
Prof. Channeemisso of Paris told the
medical academy recently that Eur
ope was in danger of cholera opi-
demic from the east and that west
ern Prussia was a possible inlet for
the disease. The medical authorities
of Prussia, therefore, have taken Wig
orous hold of the situation and will
adopt every means to prevent the
spread of the disease.
