prising to be told on Saturday
that the negotiations had been
closed.
"The world at large would re-
greet such an ending of the con-
ference, but Japan, we believe,
will continue to have the support
and sympathy of the people at
large, who hold that to the vic
tor something should be ac-
corded. If there is to be further
fighting the chances are that
Russia will be still greater
loser than it had been up to the
time that active hostilities were
suspended. And it is to stand to
the credit Of the Japanese ENJOYS
that they have maintained a dig
nifed attitude ever since they
reached Portsmouth, and they
have studiously refrained from
making any statements. On the
other hand the Russians are
credited with bombastic declara-
tons intended to arouse sympa-
thy for them. But they have

RUSSIAN DIGNITY"

again has the final abandon.
ment Of the peace conference been
postponed, and again is the feel
ing Of pessimism strengthened.
Instead of holding their final
meeting on Wednesday the peace
ENJOYS decided to take another
recess until Saturday, and again
are the guessers at work.
1T is pretty generally known,
however, that President Roose-
welt is using the full limit Of
his persuasive powers to bring
the Car and the Mikado to the
point of agreement, yet the stub
born pride Of the Muscovite
stands in the way. Standing
firmly against the payment Of
indemnity in any guise, the Rus
SLAMS insist that they will never
pay cent, no matter how craft
lily it may be diguised.
"There appears to be lacking
entirely any sense Of humiliation
upon the part of Russia in re-
spect to the miserable showing
made by its army in Manchuria
and by its navy in the Sea Of
Japan and at Port Arthur.
There is no Indication that Rus
STA considers that it has been hu-
inflated by defeat at the hands
of a little nation of brown men.
But when it comes to paying
cash to settle the war then Rus
STA strikes an attitude of insulted
dignity and declares that not one
kopeck shall be paid to Japan in
the way of indemnity. And
Russia declines to surrender any
territory, not even the Island Of
Shakhalien, now held by the
japanese by virtue Of capture.
In fact, Russia does not want to
accord a single thing to Japan,
taking the attitude that it.did not
sue for peace and that the Rus
sian people will never submit to
the payment of money to the vic
torious enemy. Japan's demands
were known in advance, and
Russia would better have ended
the conference at once, and as
soon as the Japanese propositions
were presented instead of daily
ing and dickering for days. \
"The features Of the Japanese
prosositicn that have been &C
cepted are really Of minor &C
count, and not a single oneof the
really essential features of the
peace terms is accepted. One
might think that Russia had been
the victor in the war, Judging

is having very little effect on them.
In fact the protcctionists do not even
care TO discuss that phase of the ques-
ton. A revision of the tariff with the
declared purpose to simply lower the
schedules they say would have the
same effect on the country that they
claim would follow an attack on
the tariff principles by the free-trad-
ers. They claim that merchants would
not buy goods when lower tariff rates
might still further reduce the price
they would have to pay. That condi-
tons lasting six months they fear
would upset all business conditions.
They say it might mean panic.
But they are likely to have their
views very forcibly contested by the
tariff revsionists next winter. The re-
! visionists and the men who believe in
the principles Of reciprocity are band
ing together to give battle in the halls
of Congress. The citadel Is now dis
tinctly in the control of the stand pat
| tiers and ii Is to be seen what power
the revisionists will develop in contest
ing their ascendancy.

THE TARIFF PROBLEM.
REVISION AND ANTI-RETISI0N
SENTIMENTS IN WASHINGTON.
Speaker Cannon between Two Fires
Question to be a Live One During
the Next Session of Congress.

II is rather amusing to those who
are on the inside Of the political arena
In Washington TO observe the manner
In which discussions of the tariff are
conducted throughout the country. In
an academic way the theories of the
tariff are talked over. But TO the men
on whom the real work of revising the
tariff would devolve there are very diff
ferent considerations To influence them,
They openly declare that the tariff
ought TO he revised, hut they say the
danger to business interests would be
so great that they fear undertaking il.
They insist that a struggle over the
schedules would last six months. and
that during that time the business in
forests would he suffering stagnation
that would afflict the country very
sorely.
This view is secuted by the revision
lists as one that has no standing with
men who believe in doing things. They
claim that IL such considerations are
to prevail there never could be n re-
vision of the tariff.
So Easy To Revise.

In this connection 1t is interesting
to know that during the ten-day annual
meet Of the Board of Regents in the
month of May banquet is given to
the Governor of Virginia. After the
feast is ended and the toasts are drunk,
the entire association conduct the Gov
ernor about the house and grounds,
that he may know, by personal observa-
ton. that the pact entered into so long
ago is being faithfully kept.
II is the custom Of the ladies Of the
association to live at Mount Vernon
during the yearly session. At this
time the old home wears an air Of un.
wonted gaiety. The kitchen gives out
the most appetizing odors, and. stimu-
lated to unusual activity by tales of the
old days. the corp Of Virginia servants
are anxious to show their fitness for

Thirty States Represented.

The Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa.
tion is a most exclusive body. II is
composed Of regent, who is president
Of the association, and vice-regent
from each Of the States of the Union.
Thirty States are now represented.
The women are justly proud of the
work that has been and is being accom-.
plished, and so value their places in
the council that 1t has become a GUS
tom for the office of vice-regent to de-
scend from mother to daughter or
other near relative. When a vacancy
occurs in the council the Governor of
the State is invited to nominate some
prominent woman; but should the
name not receive the favorable consid-
Grafton of the regent and vice-regents
no appointment is made until one ac-
ceptable to all Is proposed.
Miss Cunningham, the first regent,
lived at Mount Vernon from 1868 to
1873, when she resigned on account of
i'll health. She died the following
year. The present regent Is Mrs. JUS
tine Van Rensselaer, Townsend, Of New
York.
During the Civil War, though in the
very midst of the conflict, Mount Ver-
non escaped serious injury. This was
mainly due to the heroism of Miss
Tracy, the secretary Of the association,
who took up her abode at Mount Yer

1t makes no difference wi. ther Mr..
Rockefeller be right or wrong in his
forecast of gathering storm, his plan
for the employment of surplus labor
is practical and profitable one and
his enumeration of road building. riv-
err improvement, irrigation, forest pres
ervation and swamp draining, as the
truly great national problems is phil
osophic. The work needs to be done,
and eventually 1t must be done, II the
United States is to progress. Waste
is national lOss-waste by flood and
drought as we'll as waste by fire.
Every acre of land should be made to
pay. The government promotes re-
search and experimentation in agri-
culture, with a view to increasing the
effectiveness of tillage; there is no
reason why it should not give counte-
nance and support to reclamation Of
land and the enhancement Of the fer
tility Of land already under culture.
1t Is the land-the farm, which is the
pedestal of the republic.
There should be no effort to mini.
mize the worth of manufactures
processes that work up the raw prod
ucts of the earth into serviceable
forms. The ores from which are OBJ
tanned the metals of commerce are as
much product of the land as corn,
wheat and cotton-not as primarily
important but quite as necessary to
man in his present highly organized
social state. 1t is difficult to draw
the Ane between some Of the basic
manufactures and agriculture, for the
iron furnaces and steel mills build the
railroads and bridges which give
farmers a shortcut to markets.
French Statesman Also Predicts
Panic.
But the point fs. that where manu-
features develop out Of proportion to
the growth of agriculture, the world
Is being. turned wrong side up. Mr..
Meline in declaring that the overpro.
duction of manufactures will lead to
an industrial crash, says; "There Is
room for everyone under the sun, but
on condition Of sharing up the good
things Of the earth, instead Of concen.
trating upon one department Of activ'
lity."

From the Westinghouse

schedules were Illustrated by rep
escntativeS who called on Speaker
Cannon. 1t happened that one day
a prominent Massachusetts member
called to impress the speaker with the
easy manner in which the tariff might
be revised.
"You See" declared the Massachu-
sets member. I'VE all make too much
over the difficulties in revising the
tariff. 1t would really be very sim
pie. We would only have to put hides.
wool and coal on the free list and the
country would he practically satisfied.
We might do more. but that would
really be enough. There could be no
difficulty in coming to an agreement
on that-merely a matter of few
weeks"
The speaker listened intently as
he always does listen to advice. But
trailing on the heels Of the Massachu-
sets member came representative
from Illinois who also wanted to re-
wise the tariff. He started in the same
as his predecessor. He thought there
was altogether too much fuss made

Day of Distress Near.

The richest man in America is posi-
tive, however, that the crash will come
about 19OI-ycar. after next-and so
sure Is he that the trouble Is on its
way, that he is already weaving a
plan to provide work for those who
will be thrown out Of employment,
and thus ameliorate the panic. He is
certain that the number of men who
will need help will be about 1000, 600,
and when is added to those men the
number Of dependents, the total Is ap-
palling. Mr.. Rockefeller thinks this
vast army Of unemployed should be
set to work by the government on in
ternal improvements, the building of
new roads, improvement of old ones,
dredging Of streams, irrigating land,
etc. He says;

ing untitled and useless, and the house
and outbuildings were showing signs
of the Passing of the years. The glory
Of that splendid home was departing.
A Moman's Work.
To the great credit Of John Angus
tine Washington 1t is related that he
refused absolutely to consider PROPOSE
tions advanced by private companies
and individuals to purchase the estate,
to be converted later into pleasure
resort. Think of the desecration---a
vaudeville performance on that magnl-
flcent stretch Of lawn, walters bearing
their burdens of food and drink
through those stately halls, the daily
uproar Of irreverent crowds.
And then came Miss Ann Pamela
Cunningham, of South Carolina. She
visited Mount Vernon in 1853 and was
shocked and grieved at the fate In
store for the historic spot. She con-
ceived the plan of rousing the women
of her beloved southland to the true
state of affairs and enlisting their CO.
operation in the raising of fund Of
100000, the price asked Tor the house,
outbuildings, wharfage, garden and
some two hundred acres Of farmlands.
So she went to work, ana It must be
remembered that fifty years ago It took
no small amount of bravery for q
:. woman to inaugurate and carry on an
undertaking Of such magnitude. But
after I'VE years of effort the whole Of
the 100000 was I'm hand. It was
found impracticable to conhne the
propaganda to the Southern States, 20
the North was invited To assist, which
she did In generous measure.
