THE RUSSIANS
HAD TO ACCEP'
New Conditions Submitted
japanese Made 1t ImpS6ble
for ENJOYS to Reject.

for ENJOYS to Reject.
Portsmouth, Aug. 29.-When
the peace plenipotentiaries started
for the conference room today
there was a recognition on both
sides that the decisive hour in
the fate of the peace conference
had come.
Mr.. Witte seemed not in a
pleasant frame of mind. He re-
ceived new instructions during
the night reiteratiug the old.
They left him no leeway unless
a new japanese proposal met the
emperor's "ultimatum' as given
to President Roosevelt, through
Ambassador Meyers-no indem-
nifty but the cession of half of
Sakhalin without money payment
beyond that of the maintenance of
Russian prisoners and that in
volved in the cession of the Chi
nese Eastern railroad. He con-
sidered he had full authority to
reject it fatty without reference
to st. Petersburg.
NJ. Witte considered that the
had, figuratively, burned
the bridges behind him in the re-
plies he had given to the head of
the American republic. His SUI
perior having thus committed
himself, NJ. Witte felt himself
tied hand and foot. Unless the
proposal this morning
should come strictly
within the instructions, he, ac-
cording to his own views, would
not only be justified in refusing,
but compelled to refuse it. Di-
he, according, -
counsel, would have that
right.
To a proud man like Witte his
position was insufferable. He
was playing a "dog's comedy"
he said to friend. But he is a
man of passion, a man who acts
upon sudden impulses and he is
quite capable at a critical moment
of disregarding his letter of in
structions and laying them at the
feet of his majesty and thus in the
face of the world causing the en-
peror to take the responsibility,
but there are motives which might
impel him in other directions.
None knows so well the hostility
which exists at court against him. |
None knows so well that the en-
Deror's advisors are trying to |
poison his majesty's mind against |
lin. None knows so well that
he military party is demanding
! continuation of the war, and if
lie disobeys the letter of his in
tructions he would be accused of
emporizing. He would be charged
With being willing to make peace
1t any price.
No plenipotentiary at such
:risis was ever placed in so diff
:ult a position. Court intrigue is
he course Russia is playing
gain. Even the members of his
,ntourage could not fathom his
when he went to con-
erence today. i
One of them said: oIf Won

Some Fine Corn.

A Herald man was shown specimens
OF some very fine corn, grown at the
old fair grounds, on land owned by
Messrs. Phil lander and Jim Pool. 1t
is as fine corn as ever grew anywhere,
and was raised on sandy soil. Mr..
Pool says there are several acres Just
as good as the samples shown.

want my opinion it is 95 out of
10 that NJ. Witte will not even
cohsider the japanese proposals. !"
Just before the conference met
the Associated Press received an
in4mation that Baron Komura
he'd bis strong. card in reserve,
w1(ch would make it almost i'm
po1oible for NJ. White, no matter
llog he viewed his instructions, to
REJECT second proposal without
submitting it to his emperor.
Should the first proposal be re-
fused, the information of the AS
socsated Press was that Baron
komura would then play his
lasl rump; viz: a wholesale pro-
Pr to arbitrate all unadjusted
4 sails before the conference.
Fas hardly conceivable that
place before the adcllor Of The
Hague tribunal such a PROPOSE
ton. To do so would be for him
to court both for himself and his
a universal outburst
of denunciation.

ONLY LEE LOSES PERMIT
Must Conduct His Drug Store Without
Liquor License

ProDate Judge Hayden this morn
ing revoked the liquor license of Lee
Jones. This case has been postponed
a number of times on technical legal
propositions One of the questions
over which there has been consider
able difference of opinion is whether
the probate court has power to compel
the ATTENDANCE of a witness when sub
poenaed before the probate court. This
particular question was not passed
upon, and would indicate that Judge
Hayden does not feel that he has the
power to compel the attendance of
witnesses who refuse to answer a sum
mons. However, the judge held that
the testimony given in the trial of a
case in the district court is competent.
and it was this holding that caused the
revoking of the Jones permit.
There is an injunction case pending
in the district court against Lee Jones
In which w. l.. Dexter, secretary of the
State Temperance union, is the conf
planning witness. Among the evidence
produced by the state before the dis
trict court is that given by J. w Rich
ards, well known politician who lives
at Manhattan. He testified that he
is we'll acquainted with Lee Jones, the
defendant in the case, and that while
he was attending a session of the
United States court last winter as a
juror he had purchased beer of the
defendant for which he did not sign
an application as required by law He
also testified that he had purchased
beer of Mr.. Jones at various other
times, and that he had never been
|called upon to sign applications, and
that he had formed a habit of taking
other jurymen down with him during
the recess in court, and that there
never was a lack of cold ones in the
ice box. A hard fight was made by
Hazen and Magaw to have this testi-
mony kept from the probate court
However Judge Hayden held that as
the witness is out of the jurisdiction OF
the probate court that transcript OF
his evidence from the district court
would be competent, and on the evil
dence of Richards alone decided tc
revoke the license.
The case will be Immediately ap-
pealed to the higher court, and in the
interim Mr.. Jones will be COM
PEELED to get along without a permit
and should the higher court sustain
the findings of the probate court il
will be at least two years before he
can secure another permit. In the
meantime the Only Lee Jones will fine
more time to devote to his duties as
game warden

sALTON SEA Is FILLING.
Southern Pacific Tracks in Southern
California Endangered.

San Bernardino, Cal, Aug. 10
1.-The entire flow of the Colorado river
is now passing into the Salton sink,
and the water there is rising an inch
every twenty-four hours. Below I'M
perial the big canal intake is prac-
tically dry"
Such was the serious piece of in
formation brought to San Bernardino
by J. NJ. Cardiff, a resident of this city,
and a land owner in the Imperial dis
trict. Cardiff has just been over the
Imperial and Salton country and
brings news of the situation direct.
The Southern Pacific railway officials
having charge of the work of combat
ting the inroads of Salton sea upon the
company's tracks will at once, it is re-
liably stated, tear up the recently con-
structed "shoof1y" track of fifteen or
more miles and will make a wide de-
tour of thirty-one miles. This will
necessitate a detour beginning at Nor
temere and extending to Volcano
Springs, where the main line will again
be reached.

upon. So it is understood that Man
churia is going to be restored under the
charming administration of China. For
fear OF Russia's enlargement. she has
been prevented from completing her
work of civilization in that province
where millions of Russian rubles have
been spent retaining in return only I'M
pleasant memories, and now they say
that it is better to give Manchuria to
nobody than to Russia, for to return
Manchuria to China means to return
that province to the state of barbarisTn.
1t is, however. asked if even the rail-
road which cuts this province in three
portions and which should be an instru-
ment of civilization and of development
of her riches would be abandoned to
Chinese neglect
He adds: THE commerce of the world
will gain very much If Japan should
be entrusted with the guarding of the
southern railway line and Russia with
the protection of the north line, mutual
~ pledging themselves to follow the
policy of the open door in the whole
province"
Toxic Is Hopeful.
Toxic, Aug. 1.-THE Nichi Nichi to-
morrow will say: THE continuance OF
the conference is indicative of a hope
full prospect for the conclusion OF
peace" The paper declares that if the
Russians had rejected absolutely the
questions of reimbursement and the
cession of Sakhalin island. the Japanese
would have withdrawn from the con-
ference. These demln Is are equally I'M
portant as the Korean and Manchuria
questions. Japan's victories have been
realized by the vast sacrifice of money
and blood without the prospect of Rus
sia's compliance in the payment of war
expenditures and the transfer of Sakah-
lin island. There is no reason why the
conference should not be continued.
The Nichi Nichi expresses the belief
that the Russians divulged the nature
of the Japanese demands and suggested
that the Japanese delegates abandon
the plan of secrecy and keep their peo-
pie informed as to the progress of the
conference

MARRIEs FORMER WIFE
Without Knowing He Had Been Mar
ried to Her Before.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 16.-Remarried
twenty years after they had been d.
vorced, the man not knowing, when
the marriage ceremony was per-
formed, that the woman at his side
was his former wife, was the matri-
monial experience of a western couple
now enjoying a second honeymoon in
the east.
The woman, however, knew the
secret, but found enjoyment in not re-
vealing it to the man until after he
was again her husband.
James Hurlbutt and Ruth Emery
were married when he had not arrived
at mans estate. She was IS. Less
than a month before the marriage
they had met for the first time at the
home of a friend in Quebec. After a
brief honeymoon he set out alone for
the states to seek a fortune in the
west.
A misunderstanding arose not long
after he left Angry letters passed
between them and soon she wrote him
it was her wish that tneIr correspond
ence should cease, and he consented.
He was in Chicago when her letter
came, but at once left there and trav-
eled farther west. Relenting, the wife
hurried to Chicago, but found no
trace of Hurlbutt.
Some years later she secured a di-
vorce on the grounds of desertion and
married Rufus Beresford, a mine
owner. He died in New Mexico, leav-
ing several properties in Montana.
The widow came to Helena and
recognized her former husband at a
hotel. She was a stranger to him.
She engaged him to examine her prop
critics. The friendship thus estab-
lished led to love. After the ceremony
she told him her secret and he de-
clared he was doubly delighted.

HAYDEN TIED THE KNOT.
Groom Was SIS and the Blushine
Bride So.

Probate Judge Hayden officiated at a
rather unusual wedding this morning
The bride and groom came into the
Office and the groom to be in a soft
low tone of voice confided that he
wanted license to marry the woman
of his heart. The preliminaries being
arranged the judge lined the couple
up before him preparatory to pro-
nouncing the words that were to link
together for life the two loving hearts.
The bride a blushing maiden of So,
as shy and coy as she could be. The
groom himself was a bashful youth of
SIS, and looked the part. BY way of
decorations he wore bouquet of milk
weed blossoms. The bride carried an
imitation silk umbrella in her left
hand The judge omitted that part of
the ceremony which permits him to
kiss the bride. After the ceremony
the young lady deputy brought forth an
elaborate line of marriage certificates
and unloaded one. of a pair of cupids
suspended over a garden of violently
red roses. The groom is W. H. Sho-
walter and the bride Hester Sheahan.

the Corn Carnival.

Fort LeavenwOrth, Kan, Aug. 16.-

der of the department of Missouri at
Omaha, has granted Colonel Charles b.
Hall, commander at Fort Leavenworth,
permission to send troops to participate
in the Atchison Corn Carnival, Septem-
Der 18th and 18th. Colonel Hall has per
mission to send all the troops, in his
discretion, that can be spared from the
garrison and other duties at the post.
This means that as many troops will be
sent as Colonel Hall and the committee
representing the citizens of Atchison
agree upon, and that there is no limit
as to the number.
1t is said the entire Sixteenth, the
great siege battery, two and probably
four troops, an entire<squadron of cav
airy, and one battalion of infantry Will
attend. The cavalry and siege battery
will mrch overland, the infantry and a
large party of officers and ladies will
go on a special train.
Atchison people are to be congratula-
ted on getting permission to get the
siege battery. 1t is the largest and finest
artillery battery in the world. 1t has
big cannon that can shoot seven miles,
and each one is drawn by eight large
draft horses. This is only the second
time the siege battery ever left here on
a ceremoniouS occasion; the other time
was on the opening of the Worlds fair
in st. Louis when President Roosevelt
was present. Lieutenant F. W. Griffin,
in command of the battery in the alb
sence of Captain Haines, will make a
special trip, horseback, between here
and Atchison next week to examine the
roads, and see if the bridges are strong
enough to hold the big guns. The artil-
lery and cavalry will leave here Sep
tember 18th, and march to Atchison,
participate in the parade, September ii,
and march back the following day.
