tiee IS On.

Portsmouth, N. IT,, Aug. 15.-It seems
TO be taken for granted among the at
taehes Of both the Japanese and Russian
missions that there will be no general
battle in Manchuria while the peace ne.
g0tiations are on. 0yama is Known to
he prepared to strike the moment they
fail and there may be more or less skirm-
ishing and outpost engagements while
Tie troops are getting in position, but
1t is admitted on each side that If either
0yama or Lineyitch should deliberately
bring on general engagement which
might cost $4,000 or 100000 lives. his
country would be accused Of bad faith
ia The negotiations here and would in
evitably lose prestige in the eyes of the
world
In the larger sense therefore it can
be said that an armistice already exists
III Manchuria. Should the negotiations
be vainly prolonged and it become evil
dent that they are to be fruitless, the
advance Of Oyama or Linevitch might
be the signal for the final rupture. The
unexpected attack on Port Arthur might
ne repeated below Hardin.

fore the service at the camp meeting

people hustled to get them out Of dan

substance, 50 that there really was little
danger. The children were very much
frightened. and one, a LeBarron child,
nearly had Mysteries. The cause Of the
blaze is not known.

Peace ENJOYS Now Come to
the Stickers.
JAPANESE CONTROL COREA
Mutual Obligation to Surrender Man
:. ehuria and cession to China Of
Chinese Eastern Railway
from Harbin South.

Portsmouth,, n. f., August 15.This
was the first rainy morning to greet the
Russian-Japanese ENJOYS since the be-
ginning Of the peace conference. Rain
was descending in drizzle, and the
air was chilly when the start was made
for the navy yard. As usual the secre-
taries went by launch. Autos with COW
cred hoods carried the ENJOYS. Every
thing possible was done to promote their
comfort.
The japanese started first at a quar-
ter past nine, the Russians five minutes
later. The conference began at nearly
the appointed hour 1t is understood
that the first question to be taken UP
was that Of the acquisition Of the Chin
ese railway.
Three Russian Concessions
Tie articles disposed of yesterday
were these:
First Russia's recognition Of Japan's
preponderating influence" and special
position in Korea, which Russia hence-
forth agrees is outside Of her sphere Of
influence, Japan binding herself to re-
cognize the suzerainty Of the reigning
family, but with the right to give ad
vice and assistance to improve the civil
administration of the empire.
Second Mutual obligation to eyacu-
ate Manchuria and each to surrender all
special privileges in that province, mu-
tual obligation TO respect the "territor-
ial integrity" of China and to maintain
the principal of equal opportunity for
the commerce and industry Of all ma
tions in that province (open door).
Ihird-Ihe cession to China of the
Chinese Eastern railroad from Harbin
southwards
There never was any question about
the acceptance on the part of Mr.. Nitte
OF these articles" the first two covering
in more emphatic form the contentious
0f Japan in the diplomatic struggle
which preceded hostilities.
The third Is a natural consequence Of
the war. The cession Of the railroad,
the building of which cost Russia an inn
mense sum estimated BY some at be-
tween Si00,000,000 and s200,000,000, is
to China. Japan and China. therefore,

uethod by which the former Il to be

operation Japan might have d eonider-

penses Of the war; liquidated

Miserly Misery

An old woman has just died in this
city for lack of absolute necessaries.
Her husband, an invalid, has had his
troubles much aggravated by SINH
lar hardship. When the condition OF
the couple was discovered they had
in their possession several hundred
dollars, and they had friends ready
to abundantly supply their wants
The misery instinct was too great to
be overcome. Rather than expend the
money, they chose TO exist in misery
tc the end Such love of money
is an expression of insanity.
Thrift is an excellent trait, yet it
is impossible that it be a universal
one. The person who spends his in
come freely gives the person who is
OF saving disposition more to save. If
the general tendency were TO hoard
each dollar as squirrel boards nut
in tree, there would be nothing done
in the way of commercial progress or
expansion The miser is not an adj
~
the community and TO himself. The
happiness he gets out of his pile of
gold is not of a high order, and he
creates no happiness for anybody
else
There is a distinction to be made
between the miser and the multi-nil-
lionaire who is striving for more mil
lions. The latter does not love money
fer itself, but for the power it brings;
the ability TO sway men, 10 do things
on gigantic scale. This millionaire
may own roads or mines or shops, but
in any case the money that stands in
his name is out in the world, buying
bread and shelter for industry.
The actual miser is SO apt to be re-
garded as an example Of accentuated
meanness that when he starves with
coin clutched in his hand there is
seant sympathy.

SORROWS OF THE KING.

The king went pacing to and fro,
He kicked the queens small poodle

The clown SHE'D off and murmured ''Oh!

And dealt the door d dozen kicks.
Alas. uneasy rests the crown,

the acquaintance of a few hours takes
chances, and so does the man. They
are not entitled to any relief, and
were they to obtain it would probably
each become party to another fool
alliance Let 'em stick to the bar
gain
However, the liar in love is as
wholly without excuse as any other
liar To be sure there is tacit eX-
cuse for him to state that he never
before loved any woman, that he
would die for the one who had won
his heart, and that without her life
would be a desolate waste with no
glow Of sunlight or scent OF flower or
song of bird This sort of thing is per-
mitted 1t is made with a reservation
and accepted as the formal language
of wooing. It's little different when
a woman is coaxed to yield her lily
white hand and her innocent heart
by a specific false pretense. The fell
low who assumes an alias under
which to WOO, or says he has houses
and lands when all he has is a steam
er trunk, ought to get big brotherly
kick. In this instance the bride
should have resorted to a rolling pin
and not bothered an august tribunal

Liars in Love.

Not long ago two people met for
|the first time They were on a boat
bound for Liverpool. Before they
had reached the wharf they were en-
gagged, and after dreary pause Of
nearly TWO days. were married and
didn't live happy ever after.
The groom had represented him
self as the son OF a general, and the
attorney general of New Jersey. The
truth came out little later that he
was just plain American liar. The
bride sought a divorce, but failed to
obtain it. She did not even get the
sympathy OF the court.
According to the learned judge, if
all lying during eourtship was q legal
reason for annulment of marriages
the calendar would be crowded with
cases. He added that the relationship
was too sacred TO be trified with in
the manner the plaintiff had done
and wished TO do
Doubtless the judge was partly
right. The woman who marries on
