President Roosevelt Will Take
 No Further Action
JAPAN'S TERMS ARE LIGHT
Peace Envoys Will Be Accorded Every Facility By the United States for Conducting Their
 Negotiations.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 1s.-No advices. either from this country or abroad have reached President Roosevtl which would warrant even by induction, a pesslmistic view of the result of the forthcoming peace conference between the plenipoten- tiaries of Russia and Japan On the con trary 1t can be said that such advices as the President has received indicate that sincere effort on the part of the repre- sentatives of both belligerent nations will be made to reconcile their differences and negotiate treaty of peace that will be permanent.
 The terms that Japan will propose have not been made known, even to MT. Roose- welt, and they probably will not be ofri- cially until the conferees assemble as a. peace commission. That the terms will not be drastice Is believed generally in administration circles
 Must Not Be Harsh.
 It Is known that the President has inti- mated to the Japanese government that In his belief ar agreement with Russia can be reached without serious difficulty. provided Japans terms are not harsh or of kind seriously to humlliate her ad- versary
 The President has indicated definitely that his work as an intermediary between Russia and Japan practically is concluded. He is gratlfed that he has been able to bring the two belligerents together to dis cuss and consider their differences with with view to the negotiation of a treaty of peace. That he will have an active hand in the conference is regarded as quite unlikely.
 Will Have Clear Field.
 The envoys will be afforded every fa- cility and convenience by the United l States government for the corduca of their negotiations and they will be given an absolutely clear field for their confer ence, field entirely free from any pos sible interference
 It is believed that the President will not be drawn into any controversy between the two sets of plenipotentiares as tho , one or the other of the two nations direct ly interested almost certainly would re- gard such a contingency as interference. Some formalties ye. have to be ob- served by the President the chief one being the reception of the envoys ah Sagamore Hill but when they hsve been completed the President will regard his , connection with the peace negotiations at ar end.

Water Famine Threatened.

To add to the unavoidable physical suf- fering Brooklyn was threatened with a water famine, while the whole city was startled by the prospect or strike of the ice men. The water supply In Brooklyn was reported as nearing the danger point, and the water department took immedi- ate precautions, asking that street sprink- ling be temporarily suspended and warn. ing the people to be extremely cautious and economical In the use of the water.
 Prompt measures were taken today by the police and the park commissioners to alleviate in some degree the suffering of the people. Orders were issued keeping open throughout the night the park gates and permitting those who would to spend the night in these places. Keep off the grass signs were by permission disre- garded. and tonight thousands of men, women and children deserted crowded and stifiing apartments for bed upon the cool grass. Thousands of others, too ex- hausted to reach the recreation grounds, slept upon the pavements in front of their homes.

it was well to make good Indians and
the only good Indians are dead Indians.

der he hates the white man. No won
der he steals away at his approach
and sits silent when the white man
would learn his mysteries and under
stand his traditions. Why should he
speak when his voice is not heeded7
Why should he plead when he is ig-
noredl But in silence he has learned
many things. He has learned that
the cruelty of the white man is not in
harmony with his theories. The ra-
pacity Of the white man makes a hid
eous iargon when its voice is brought
into comparison with that Of the gentle
Jesus whom he claims to worship.
Sometimes the Indian finds that the
white man has again crucifed his own
Lord in the treatment he has given the
red man. Occasionally the red man
has gotten back Of the white mans
life and discovered his Lord, and in
discovering the white mans Lord, has
found his own. Some Of the most no.
BILE characters that can be found in
the world are among these simple chill
dren of the forest, who suffer on qui-

One Of the leaders among these great

attractive as they were once. In these
he comes among the busy multitude of
white men. He is the red man Of the

but his ancestors for untold genera

were straight and tall, strong and

sionaries who came not to drive the In.
dians out but to bring them the knowl.
edge of God and to deal with them after
the principles of the loving Jesus. He
learned to know the white men in the
persons of such men as Jason Lee and
J. H. Wilbur-men who loved him and
his people. Through these men he came
TO know their Lord and Him whom his
ancestors had ignorantly worshipped
he found in Jesus Of Nazareth.
He has been member Of the Meth
odist church since 1861 and chief of
his people, the Yakima tribe, since
1866. His life has been so pure and
his character so white that they call
him "White Swan" Like the tabled
swan, the years draw nigh when he
must sing his last song and go out into
that land where his fathers have gone.
He is coming here to tell the white
people something about his ancestors
who lived in these mountains and nav
igated these rivers before any paleface
was ever seen here. He is going to tell
us something Of the joy with which
his people welcomed the first white men
and of the blessings which the knowl-
edge Of Jesus has brought them. He
is coming to reveal to us something of
the solidarity of the human race. He
is coming to bring us q message Of
gladness before he goes away to his
fathers. He will be great attraction,
as he is coming in his native costume,
not as a white man, but as n Christian,
not as one whose civilization is in his
clothes but in his soul. Not that he
will teach us how to become Indians,
but he will teach us how to become
better sons and daughters Of the Lord

was in every respect the most bril-

cial way ever held in the city. The
large room was filled to Overlooking
with invited guests, the music was
enhancing, the refreshments were
delicious, the punch was exquisite
and the ladies and gentlemen ia
charge were superb.
Nearly all of the gentlemen com
posing the club are new arrivals
but by their generous and tasteful
manner of conducting a social
function they have endeared them
selves to US in way that will moi
be forgotten. Messrs. Mccarthy
Craney, Sharp, Buckner, Brown and
others who compose the "Beau

membered by our people as gentle
men of high order, aud of most
excellent qualifications aud attain
meuts. The ladies who served the
refreshments and built the punch
are certainly past masters in the
line of entertainment. The coffee
and cakes and angel food were de-
licious, but the punch, oh! my! that
was constructed by an artist who
must have graduated at the head OF
his class. Everybody admired that
pinch, and even white ribbon peo-
pie drank mugs of 1t.
