CRUEL WAR is OVER.
Contests in Colorado Settled Without
BIoodshed.

Bloodshed.
A special from Denver, Colo, says:
With the exception of the contest for
the governorship. which will be filed
by Governor Peabody, and the hear
ing of which will continue through sew
eral weeks, the political troubles Of
Colorado that are of particular inter-
est to the outside world have been
settled, and Alva Adams is governor.
Despite al the incendiary talk that
has been made from time to time the
difficulties have been adjusted amic-
ably. Nobody has been killed, and,
so far as known. nobody has even
landed or received as much as one lit
tie punch. There is no sign Of
troubles now, and unless violent
counter current strikes in from some
unexpected direction there will be no
trouble in the future.

PURSUES HIM AROUND A TREE

In an encounter with a huge male
ostrich at the Cawston ostrich farm
yesterday afternoon. Robert Reed, an
employe of the company, was kicked
twice and stamped by the angry bird.
and undoubtedly would have been
killed but for the timely interference of
other attendants, who beat off the
ostrich with clubs.
Reed sustained a broken rib and his
body was black and blue from the
ostrich's attacks upon him. A ply
sician was called and Reed was taken
to his home.
Reed entered the ostrich pen with a
japanese. The latter was attacked by
one of the birds and Reed interfered.
Thoroughly enraged, the bird turned
upon Reed, and with a kick more dam
| gerous than that of any horse tossed
him distance Of fifteen feet where he
brought up against fence. The ostrich
was upon. him in an instant, jumping
and striking
The man finally struggled to his feet
only to be dealt another blow by the
birds foot. This time he landed within
a few feet of tree, and springing UP
he made for it's trunk. The branches
were too high for him to reach, sc
round and round the trunk he lodged
with the ostrich in awkward pursuit.
The Japanese made good his escape
when the bird turned upon the man
who came to his assistance. He was
crazed with fright but his cries brought
the attendants to the pen, Reeds res
cue being accomplished moment af-

LONDON UNITED IN
PRAISE OF JAPANS
MAGNANIM0US COURSE
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-The morning
papers, while sharing the astonishment
of the public at the unexpected nature
of the peace terms. accord the great
est praise to Japan for having chosen
so magnanlmous a course. 1t is con-
tended that by waving the question of
indemnity Japan might justly claim
the whole of the island of Sakhalin.
and therefore the return of half of the
island is a concession made entirely
in intssest of peace. All the papers
express gratitude to President Roose-
welt and admiration of his untiring
zeal, giving him full credit for being
"the one man who made peace poss-
ble"
English papers which have been
strongly pro-Japanese throughout the
negotiations express disappointment at
Japans failure to be reimbursed for
the expenses Of the war. At the same
time several OF them admit that she
perhaps has chosen the wiser and more
business-like course.

BERLIN CONSIDERS
PEACE A CONQUEST
FOR BOTH COUNTRIES
BY Associated Press.

BERLIN, Aug. ,29.-Japan has won
a great moral victory, Russia a great
diplomatic one and President Roose-
welt has become the first figure in in
ternational craftsmanship. This is
what Berlin thinks of the result of the
Portsmouth conference.
The foreign office acknowledges the
generosity and moderation of Japan
and the steadfast spirit of the Russian
government. Astonishment at the re-
suit was felt and this was the first ex-
clamation of one of ,Russias principal
bankers, who was expecting different
outcome. That Russia would not have
to pay an indemnity was at first
scarcely believable. The Berlin stock
exchange had been preparing for news
of rupture of the negotiations and
for consequent disorder in the market.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 2s.-The
long and bloody war between Japan
and Russia is ended. The terms of
peace were agreed upon by NJ witte
and Baron Komura at the session of
the conference this morning, and this
an armistice were concluded and the
actual work of framing the treaty of
Portsmouth was, by mutual agreement,
turned over to Mr.. de Martens, Rus
sia's great international lawyer, and
Mr.. Dennison, who for twenty-five
years has acted as the legal adviser of
the Japanese foreign office.
The treaty is expected to be COM
pleted by the end of the week.
This happy conclusion of the confer
ence, which week ago would have
been shipwrecked had it not been for
the heroic intercession of President
Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29.-The g
news of the peace agreement did not
reach here until late this evening. 1t
spread rapidly and was received with
general incredulity and dismay in Of
ficial circles, and with amazement by
the general public.
No one expected Japan would aban-
don her claims for indemnity, the war
party did not believe peace possible
and their attitude tonight is that of
people trapped and forced into a false
position.
The plans of the government are
completely upset by the sudden and
entirely unexpected action of japan.
The reactionary element is making
rash threats of vengeance against
Japan, and even threatening to take
Linevitche's army against Constant
inople to re-establish Russia's military
prestige, and prevent the returning
soldiers from adding to the general dis
cord prevailing In the interior pro-
