The Star-Spangled Banner.

3 Oh say, you see by the dawns carly light,
 What proudly haild at the ights last geaming Whose broad stripes and bright through the peous fight Ger the rampars watched galantly streaming? And the rockets red glare and the bombs bursting Gave proof through the night that our flag still there Oh say, does the star-spangled banner yet Der the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly through the mist of the deel Where the foes naughty host dread silence reposes What is that which the breeze Der the towering steep As it fuly blows, half conceals half discloses? Now catches the gleam of the mornings first beam In full glory reflected, shines in the stream lis the sar-spangled banner Oh long may it wave Ger the land of the free and the home of the bravo And where is that band who vaunngly swore
 Mid the havoc of war and the battles confusion home and country they'd leave 0 more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution No refuge could save the hirelng and slave
 From the terror of flight the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave Oh thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand, Between their loved home and the wars desoaton; Bst with victory and the Heaven-rescued land Praise the power that made and preserved nation. Then conquer must when it is just, And this be our motto ]" In God is trust And the nged banner in triumph shall wave Der the land of the free and the home of the brave

IN ROLE OF PEACEMAKER
Nicholas Again Appears Second
Peace Conference Called.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 10, Emperor
Nicholas today again appears before
the world as promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japan-
ese war over, and even before the peace
treaty has been ratified than his ma
jesty issues invitations to second
peace conference at The Hague.
That the Emperor has done so was
learned today from source which
leaves no shadow of doubt as to its au-
thenticity.
1t is officially announced that "the
Russian government proposed to adj
dress the foreign powers with u view to
the holding of peace conference at
The Hague but it is known that ne
gotiations preceding this announcement
that the government proposed to ad-
dress the Powers were entered into es-
pecially with the United States, and
we're conducted with the greatest Sc
crecy, there being not the slightest
inkling that Russia contemplated any
thing of the kind.
The announcement created the great
est surprise here, and the fact that
Russia had planned second conference
despite the steps already taken by
President Roosevelt was also heard with
amazement. 1t is clear that the step
could not be taken by Russia without
first reaching a complete understanding
with President Roosevelt.

TIE SIMPLE LIFE ONLY
Is Possible for Young Officers in the
Government Service.

Washingtc, /, Sept. l9-Only the "sim-
pie life" is possible for young army
officers, according to Maj. Gen, Corbin,
commanding the Philippine division.
In his annual report, Gen. Corbin says
there is too frequently evidence that
there are officers in the service not
mindful of their financial obligations.
The number of complaints on this point,
he says, calls for drastic treatment.
The general then lays down these
principles:
"The moment an officer begins living
beyond his means he should be subjects
cd to discipline. Young officers join
ing the service should be admonished
that for them only the simple life il
possible. The moment an officer is pos
sesscd with an uncontroll liable desire for
any other life he, as a duty to himself
as well as his regiment, should separate
himself from the service and enter the
fields in which the material rewards
admit of more luxury of living
There are now 1850 troops in the
Philippines including 5,lsl native
scouts, and Gen. Corbin recommends
that there be no reduction in his force
He says the conditions as to peace in
the islands are better than at any time
since American occupation, with the
exception Of Samar.
A reduction in expense amounting TO
a million and half dollsrs is reported
as having been accomplished during tho
administration Of Gen. Corbin

RUSS0-JA JAPANESE TREATY
Japs Didn't Insist Upon Indemnity
Because Not In n Position to
Enforce Payment.

St Paul MINI, Sept 1S.- Comment
ing on the Portsmouth treaty. IL w.
Dennison, legal adviser to the japanese
foreign office, said while in this city on
tho way TO Seattle with members of the
japanese peace embassy:
we didn't insist upon indemnity, for
the simple reason that our position
didn't permit of insistence II we'd had
a fleet in the Baltic sea or an army be-
fore ST. Petersburg or at the gates OF
Moscow, We might have enjoyed the
same advantage the Germans possessed
when they occupied Paris.
Russia in refusing 10 pay an in
demnity, simply got out Of debt which
her creditor was not in q position TO
collect. II would have cost us millions
of yen, not TO speak Of loss of life, to
enforcce indemnity"

HID THE BODY OF HIS VICTIM
Then Returned and Completed His
Murderous Work.

New York, Sept. ia large force
of detectives is at work today search
ing for Joseph Girard, for whose arrest
q warrant has been issued in connection
with the murder of Augusta Pfcller,
near the Pelham Road, Westchester.
Coroner OGorman said,
81 do not believe the girl was killed
outright; | think she was rendered un-
conscious and the brute who attacked
her dragged her body into the bushes
and hid it, thinking she was dead.
Probably she lay there all of Thursday
and Friday unable to move or make an
outcry, and the murderer returned Fri
day night to look at his victim. Find
ing her alive he finished her.
"Undoubtedly the girl knew the man
who killed her. Otherwise there would
have been no necessity for him to have
added murder to his first crime lie
killed her because she recognized him."
