WILL PASS INDEMNIFY.
The Japanese Willing to Let That go
 Over for a Time.

Oyster Bay. Aug. 23.-President Roosevelts final effort to induce ces- satiOn of hostilities in the far east is almost dramatic in it's extraordinary interest Through the American ann bassador at St. Petersburg, he has made a direct appeal to Emperor Nicholas to permit the addition of such measures in the pending peace con ference as will terminate the war.
 A long cabIegram was sent to Am bassador Meyer by President Roosevelt on Monday. It contained instruc lions for representations on behalf of Pres ident Roosevelt be made directly to the Russian emperor. There is req son for believing that those represen- tations were communicated yesterday to the Russian envOys at Portsmouth through the presidents messenger.
 Thus far the president has gained his points, one after another. IL was due to his efforts that the conference did not break up finally last week and his fErther suggestions prevented a final dissolution Of the conference on Mou- day Now he has carried his appeal for peace straight to the Russian em- pCrOr, an appeal, too which can be said to have the positive support of the great neutral powers.
 IL is stated late tonight that Japan has proposed to Russia that the ques- tion of indemnity for war expenditures will be waived, and that Russia agree to purchase a portion of the island of Sakhalin for S6O0, 1000, GOO. It is be- lieved that one part of the proposition submitted to Baron Rosen by the pres ident was that Russia should pur- chase the possession of the island of Sakhalin, either in part or as a whole, and that if the COnfereeS were JnviIl- ing to agree upon the price to be paid for it. the amount should be left tO the determination of an impartial tri- bunal

TWO NATIONAL BODIES
Which Will Henoeforth Have Nothing to do With Each Other, The Ma tiOnal Irrigation Congress and the National Irrigation Association.

Portland. Ore. Aug. 2s.-The res5- lutions committee of the National I-- rigation congress struck a second stumbling block at iss meeting today over a resolution declaring that there is no connection between the NatIonsI Irrigation congress and the National Irrigation association. an incorporated body of whose board of directors C- W Boothe of Los Angeles is chairmrn. M-- Booth is also chairman Of the cN- ecutive committee of the national con gress.
 Assertions were made that large sums of money have been collected iu Chicago and points in the central west and in Montana by an association uf manufacturers and others who have contributed to the association under the belief that it was identical with. or the parent body to the congress Ar ter the committee had discussed the subject for over two hours MT. Eoo,he was called to the committee room Go explain what if any connection there existed between the two organizations MT. BOothe was under the impression that personal attack had been made upon him and from the outset rNSeur- ed any supposed iusinUation that there had been any misrepresentation by him or by the association Of which h.. was a director
 Personalities were further injected into the discussion by the reading of au article produced from the st Louis Globe-Democrat. which in the oQiulou of several delegates left the impres- sion that Mir BooJhe was allowing his name to be connected with the two cr-
 ganizatiOns in a manner that bgougI inevitable confusion

Narra gansett Pier, R. l., Aug. 23.- Between two hundred and three hun -dred leading members of the bar. rep resenting nearly every state in the union, and including Justices White, Brown. Peckham and McKenua of the supreme court of the United States. were present at the first session of the twentieth annual meeting of the Am erican Bar association, which began a three days conference here today.
 The principal feature of the day was the address of the president, Henry St. George Tucker, of Lexington, Va. which was a comprehensive review of the noteworthy changes which have been made in the statutes by the ua- tiOnal congress and by state legisiat- ures during the year.

 in Washington.

Washington. Aug. 23.-George A. Mansfield and J. F. McMurray, mem bers of the law firm of Mansfield, Mo Murray &. Cornish of South McAlester, I. T., arrived in Washington yester- day afternoon. Mir.

The firm is counsel for the Choc- taw and Chickasaw Indian tribes. MT.

those of an earlier period of the camp. They are generally of d substantial character and are to a certain extent ornamental as well as useful.
 w. $. Holland, the successor of Henry Wickenburg is arranging for an extension of the town site to make room for the certain growth of the place. It is not believed by the most enthusiastic Wickenburgian that the place will ever be a very big one but they are all sure that it is going to be very soon a good town, one of the best in the county outside of Phoenix. Ger tainly no other has had such a growth within the last five years. The build ing of the A. & c. road has perhaps had something to do with the pros perity of the town. If the mines of which Wickenburg is the hub should develop as people in that country hope they will, there is no telling what Wickenburg will become.

each side an opportunity to consult it's government for the last time.
 The outlook is black Many believe it was never so black as tonight. The Japanese are not talking. Indeed, to- night they appear to be more taciturn and more resolute than ever The only possible line of further Japanese con- cession is considered to lie in the di- minution of the amount of the pur- chase money demanded for the north half of Sakhalin. The decision rests, therefore. as it has from the first, with Russia. Unless the emperor agrees to yield between now and Saturday, the end is likely to come on that day. And the indications from Peterhof, in stead of raising the chances, indicate even a firmer determination to yield neither territory nor indemnity, sugar coated though the latter may be.
Arizona republican., 1905-08-24

Furthermore, the Associated Press has the same reasons and authority for the declaration that if Japan with drew her indemnity demand, peace would be practically assured. as the Russian attitude on the other three points, including the cession of Sak- halin. does not preclude the possibil- ity of reaching a satisfactory settle ment on these points. Indemnity is the cruX of the whole matter. If this question can be arranged, it is be- lieved here that all other questions on which there has been a divergence of opinion will practically settle them selves.
 In view of the known Russian atti- tude on the other eight points, Russia believes that Japans insistence on in- demnity is the only thing that will make peace impossible. Officials de- clare that attempts at word juggling such as calling indemnity by some other name. or attempting to collect indemnity under the guise of other payments, will avail nothing. Russia, they say, will not conclude a peace treaty which includes the payment of indemnity or other financial contribu- tionS.
 Russia is ready, however. to make a reasonable and proper payment for the maintenance of the Russian pris- oners in the hands of the Japanese. This has been the attitude of the for eign office since the four points in dis
 pute were referred to St. Petersburg from Portsmouth, and it is the true expression of Russian official and
 public opinion. Since the very be-
 ginning of the discussion here on Ja- pans original terms there has beRn absolutely nothing to suggest that
 Russia could or would pay indemnity. Each day has sharpened the convic- tion that such a payment is impossi- ble. and today the universal opinion, 1 from the highest to the lowest. is that Japans insistence on an indemnity dOoms the Portsmouth negotiations to failure. Russia recognizes the seri- ous internal conditions of the country but they declare that these conditions will never force the pay of an indem nifty, dishOnOrable in itself. and which would most seriously menace the very life Of the state.

 campment There.

Denver, Col, Aug. 23.-The an nouncement Of three important ap- pOintments in connection with the coming national encamDment of the Grand Army of the Republic was made at the headquarters of the local ex- ecutive committee tonight.

ions of the others. 1t is believed
that during the life of the seth
Congress, soon to convene, the
bill will be enacted into law. It is
inconceivable that Congress will re-
fuse to extend the relief to the
country which is called for. When
it is remembered that, according
to census figures, the value of farm
products in the United States for
1899 footed up the total of $4,-
759,ll9,752, and that every dol
lars worth of this product is NOV
ed over the public roads-all Of it,
less the live stock, hauled in wag-
ons - to the railroads and water
ways, and that these wagon roads
as a rule are deplorably bad, the
necessity of relief impresses itself
without argument. Old system
of road improvement are worthless.
Local effort has proven a fiat fail
ure, as the experience of seventy
FIVE years has proven beyond cavil.
State and counties, with few
worthy exceptions, are unable to
cope with the trouble. There
must be Government aid, and the
Brownlow- Latimer bill provides for
it, The man in town will stop to
note where his interest lies in this
matter. There is a loss to the
farmers Of 81 100000 by reason
of bad roads, every time the sun
sets. The price and quality Of
farm products is effected by high
way conditions. Take into &C
count, too, that agriculture sustains
all our business and institutions,
and that agricultural life and pro-
duotiveness is not on well-paved
streets of towns and cities, but on
the rural highways; and when the
whole question is studied as it
should be, sit down and write your
