PEACE OR WAR
OUTCOME OF PEACE CONFER

Russians Still Unyielding in Refer

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 26-As
indicated in these dispatches last
night there was no rupture in the
peace negotiations today. Peace is
by no means assured, but an i'm
portant crisis has been tided over,
and the fact that the life of the
conference has been prolonged into
next week adds materially to the
chances of favorable issue.
According to the Russian vel sion
it was Japan and not Russia which
weakened this afternoon, Mr..
Witte publicly announced after the
sitting thot it was Baron Komura
who asked for an adjournment IN.
til Monday, in order to have time
to submit a new proposition. Yet
it is known that Mr.. Witte has re-
ceived instructions after the pres.
ilent's intercession at Peterhoff
through Ambassador Meyer, to
agree to the division of Sakhalin,
and to permit liberal compensation
for the Russian prisoners of war
and the cession of the Chinese East.

money the stumbling block to an
agreement.

japanese compromise proposition

Witte's turn naturally to present

timated, in withholding his card
and forcing the japanese to play

point in the game.
But no adequate account of the
proceedings of today's meeting
Is forthcoming. The plenipoten.
tiaries, by agreement, excluded the
secretaries. There were no min
utes. There are no records. This
in itself, is extremely significant.
When men who are fighting a
desperate battle lock themselves in
a room alone, it is the best evidence
that they are terribly IN earnest. II

of Silverton, charged by his broth

of hunting without a license, was
brought to the Marion county Jail
today and will spend five days be-
hind the bars. He refused to pay
a fine because he felt an injustice
had b en- done him.
! The story told here is that AL
Downs sent to Salem for a hunters
license but for some reason it was
not procured and he went to the
mountains in company with Ray
Mckinley to hunt deer. On their
return they told Robert Downs
that they had killed two deer. Rob-

sentence of five days in jail.

Robert Downs knew they were 60

he is willing to send them to Jail
under such circumstances they are
willing to serve their time.

Russia is now willing to divide
Sakhalin. Japan on Wednesday,
claimed the entire island by right
of occupation, offering only to sell
back the northern half at the price
of the cost of the war. And it
should be borne in mind that the
elimination of articles 10 and II,
surrender of Russia's interned war
ships and limitation of Russia's
sea power, was conditional upon her
acceptance of this proposition. Bar

THE CARNIVAL COMPANY
Is Well Spoken of by Fl PasO Papers

In recent issue of the Fl Paso Times. where the Nat. Reiss Southern Carnival company is just closing an engagement, that paper speaks in the very highest terms of the company. A portion of the article reads as follows:
 Great throngs of delighted visitors paid the 10 cent main gate entrance and made a systematic and thorough inspection of all the shows. They gazed with rapt interest upon the free acts and visited the big stadium. Ex- pressions of delight were heard on all sides.
 The sensational feature of the eve ming was the fire dive of Marian Lil- jens.
 At exactly o'clock, as announced, the lady, clad in a closely fitting can vas suit, was hoisted to a small perch 6 feet up a slender telegraph pole, and was soon followed by an assist ant. After a formal introduction by the official announcer, the lights were all extingUished, and at a signal from Mime.

When she left her perch there was a momentary gasp of horror from the great audi ence, followed by feelings of speeches. amazement, and, finally, deafening ap- plause at the daring exploit.
 After visiting the shows, everybody and his best girl filled in the time bombarding his or her neighbor with confetti, welding the effective feather dusters or operating the funny blow outs and other fun producers which lend Zest to the enjoyment of the car nivaI.
 It does not take long for an Fl Paso audience to imbfbe the carnival spirit which at once became rampant. There was the rollicking crowd of revelers. each trying to outdo the other in good natured fun and decent frolic.
 MT. Reiss has the distinction of con- ducting the cleanest, best and most enjoyable of carnivaIs, and it is for this reason that the people of Fl Paso are among the most conspicuous of the multitude of visitors.
 Everything was enjoyed, seemingly, by everybody. The spacious grounds shone brilliantly with splendid cleo tric ilIuminations; the shows presented ornate fronts, and the effect upon en- tering the circular enclosure. sur rounded with the various attractions, was really enchanting.
 The best of order was maintained. There was no rOwdyism or rough house." Mr. Reiss has his many at taches drilled to immediately suppress any tendency to disorder or improper behavior. The shows and various at fractions are all clever, clean and mostly instructive. The many side shows naturally attracted the visitors first, and it was seer that the shows that were here last spring are greatly improved since they left here, as this was the second town in which they had appeared at that time.

CHATTANOOGA IN EARNEST.
Determined Effort VIII Be Made to
Get Into Southern League.

Chattanooga. July 10.(Special)-Chatta-
nooga will make determined effort to
break into Southern league circles next
spring. Already a stock company has
been formed here with sufficient capital
to purchase outright the franchise OF
either Little Rock or Shreveport. Whether
these clubs Will be for sale at the end of
the season Is another proposition but
II is certain that Chattanooga can turn
out a thousand more people daily to
Southern league games than either of
these two towns have been doing for
the past six weeks.
Chattanooga would now support baseball
as it has never supported it before. The
town is baseball crazy. Even to the Tri-
State games here from 500 to 1900 turn out
daily, while 1t is certain that the attend
ance would be doubled IL the town was
represented in the Southern league.
