ference at Portsmouth, lies in the ex- pectation that Japan will recede ma terially from her terms as published The official and public sentiment re- garding the possibility of peace, as outlined to the Associated Press by one official who is in constant close relations with the highest authorities, in part is as follows:
 ''That the terms regarded in their entirety are quite impossible of ae- ceptanee, and close scrutiny has not removed the very unfavorable impress sion that their first reading produced here. If they are not modified, espe- eially in the matter of indemnity, and territorial concessions, peace, it is thought, is impossible, and the con- tinuanee of negotiations useless.
 "The Japanese terms are regarded in Russia as absurd, and which might be made upon an utterly crushed and powerless enemy, but it is absurd to propose them to a power like Russia, which has a half million men in the field facing the enemy. This army is in good condition, and eager for ae- tion.'
 Armies Suspend Hostilities.
 PORTSMOUTH, N. H.. August 14- It seems taken for granted among the attaches of both the Japanese and Russian commissions that there will be no general battle in Manehuria while the peace negotiations are on.
 Oyama is prepared to strike at any moment the negotiations fail. There may be more or less outpost engage ments while the troops are getting in position, but it is admitted on each side that if either Oyama or Line witch should deliberately bring on a general engagement which might cost fifty or hundred thousand dollars, his country would be accused of bad faith in the negotiations here, and immedi- ately lose prestige in the world.
 In the larger sense therefore, it can be said that an armistiee already ex- ists in Manehuria. Should the nego- tiations be vainly prolonged, and it became evident that they are to be fruitless, the advance of Oyama or Lineviteh might be the signal for a final rupture.

the election frauds in
Pueblo county, reported to the court
today and was discharged. One hun.
dred new indictments were returned.
The grand jury, on which democrats

Denver, to control the election in this
county by corrupt methods. The jury
petitions the court to bring the evi.

on the water front from which the EN-.

on the parquette floor of the white

MAKE A CLEAN SWEEP
And Cut Politics 0ut of All the
 City Departments.

Mnoday night the aldermen will
 pass upon some more charter amend
 ments. the principal ones having refer-
 ence to the department of education.
 the board of health and the care of sidewalks. The republicans claim they
 want q nOn-partisan board of edlica,
 ton and they are giving good reasons
 TOT their contention. Why" they ask.
 should there be any politics in the
 school board. anyway? What we want
 is the best possible results, not politl,
 cal advantage" Before democrats l Whom this brOadside is aimed at have
 time to collect their thoughts and offer
 word or two in reply, the advocates ] Of non-partisan boards hop from the
 school board to the department Of
 health and want to know why anybody should want three republicans and two | democrats or vice versa on that board. | why not let it go by providing for Il hoard composed of five members? they ask with flourish which would lead
 !he unWary to conclude that they had buried politics so deep in the earth
 no such thing would ever again be heard of ill local matters. The demo- cfats found it hard to combat this kind
 or reasoning for q time, but after giv- Ing the subject due consideration they made up their minds to take them at their word, eliminate politics from all the municipal boards and put the pub i lie good on the pedestal so long the abode of politics. With this end in view they are now asking their brother republicans to change the personnel of the board of aldermen so that it will
 consist of an equal number from both parties instead of nine republicans and SIX democrats as at present and for some time past. This proposition makes the republicans wince, and
 While they pretend that they are giv- lng it some consideration. democrats
 who think it would he wise to come to some such understanding wonder why so little has been heard anout it. Some of the more gullable of The democrats argue that this is a business a,iminis- tration, and therefore it moves more cautiously than political bodies do. and attribute the delay in receiving an an swer to the weightiness of the subject an! >he attention given it by the party managers. If this comes to pass Water bury will have seen the end of the days when one party can get together and decide to do what it pleases regardless Of the wishes of the other side of the house. To be brief. it would be. the death knell of politics in Waterbury. and after the passage of the act public officials would have to stand on their merits instead of trusting to their political pull. Of course there are 0b- stacles ill the way. but the more broad minded expect to brush them aside. Democrats claim they can elect ma jorify Of the board of education nipe times out of ten and republicans point to an almost certain triumph in the race for aldermen right along, so thaI it is tit for tat all around The only measures practically agreed upon up ;O date are those seeking to make dem orratic boards non-partisan. but just what will he done in carrying this reform into the republican boards will not be known until after Monday night.
