QUESTION is VERY IMPORTANT
Point at Which Jap Control of Rail
way Will End.

Godzyadani, Manchuria, Sept. r.
The peace terms have become known
here. The majority consider them in
offensive to Russian honor and dig
nifty 1t is not clear at what station
the railway is to be turned over to
the Japanese, at Kwangchengtse or
Chantufu. This question is very I'M
pOrtant. II the turnover occurs at
kwan gchengtse, then Russia cedes TO
Japan 100 miles Of yet unoceupied
line and likewise the only coal mines
south of Harbin. From Changtufu
starts all the trade routes to the very
rich Kirin province and should the
read become the property of the Japa-
nese TO Kwangchengts the complete
possession Of Changtufu would place
Kirin province entirely under Japa-
nese influence. This would be very
undesirable for Russia Should the
transfer be made at Changtufu or fur
ther south, Kirin province, which has
supported the Russian army for six
months, would remain Russian, which
would be particularly advantageous,
because the southern portion of the
railway has no natural outlet. This
and many other questions, such as the
Russians right to maintain consular
Offices and commercial agents at
Iiaoyang, Mukden, Port Arthur and
Port Dalny, should, it is claimed here,
be settled before the armies with
draw from their strategic positions
h Oh III: hot Il
be impolitic to permit the Japanese to
settle in kwangchengtse for in case
of another war they could reach Har-
bin in fifty hours, occupy Kirin and
cut Russia off from the Amur regions.
1t was announced by the Associated
Press from Portsmouth, n. H, Aug.
30, that the formal recognition of
Japan's possession of the Chinese
Eastern railway below Kwangchengts
involved the payment by Russia to
China of sum estimated at SIS ,000,-
900. This is the Chinese interest in
the road and for it China must be re-
munerated
The question of the ultimate pos
session OF the road is matter to be
settled between Japan and China.
Japan can keep the road Or surrender
1t to China, demanding in return the
money paid by Russia to China. If
she shall elect the latter course,
Japan VIII therefore obtain as an Gin
direct spoil of war" from Russia, the

ADMIRAL TOGO'S FLAGSHIP DE.
STROYED IN THE HARBOR
OF SASEBO.
HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST
FAMOUS JAP ADMIRAL NOT ON
BOARD VESSEL AT TIME OF
DISASTER.

Sasebo, Sept. 13.-Admiral Togos
flagship, the Mikasa, was destroyed by
fire and the explosion of her maya
zine at an early hour last Monday
morning while peacefully lying at an
Choir in this harbor. Hundreds OF
lives, including members of her crew
and men from other ships who went
to the rescue, were lost. This little
town, which has suddenly risen to a
prominent eminence since the out
break of the recent war, had spent a
quiet Sunday. The presence in the
harbor of several warships that had
taken part in the humiliation Of the
formidable navy Of rival power af-
forded some excitement, but the night
was quiet with the people dreaming
of peace after period of war The
quietness was broken by terrible ex-
plosion, accompanied by terrific
shock. The people awoke on the
coast to discover that a terrible dis
aster had overtaken the beloved Mi
kasa, the flagship of the great Togo,
"AO AS1 AAo Al1Si ~ NANloiy Ia IAO iiiC
and death struggle in which the ma
ton had just been engaged. Words
are powerless to describe the pro-
found disappointment and sorrow at
tending this great catastrophe. The
absence of Admiral Togo from the
ship at the time Of the explosion and
the hope that the vessel can be re-
paired are the only redeeming fea-
lures of the unprecedented calamity.
A deep feeling of sympathy toward
the unfortunate sufferers after a ces.
sation of hostilities permeates every
class.
The Mikasa was first class battle
ship Of 1920 tons displacement. She
was built in England and was launched
in 1902. The battleship was 400 feet
long, had a speed of over Is knots
and carried crew of 935 officers and
men. She was heavily armored and
carried four Pinch guns, fourteen g.
inch guns, two 12-pounders and a num-
Der of smaller rapidfire guns. She
had four submerged torpedo tubes.

that some confusion was caused
among the assemblage by men at

persons being slightly injured and one
seriously hurt Over twenty speeches
were delivered to the audience, which
numbered 1900. The city is display

Notable Favorites Written by Late
Secretary OF State.
Jim B1udso of the Prairie Belle.
WAL, no! / can't tell whar he lives.
BecaSe he don't live, you see
Leastways, he's got out Of the habit
OF Twin like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez- Under-t the Hill
And another one here in Pike.
A keerless man in his talk was Jim
And an awkward hand In a row.
But he never flunlSed, and he never lied
reckon he never knowed how
And this was all the religion he had:
To treat HIS engine well,
Never be passed on the river,
To mind the pilots bell,
Andgi ever the Prairie Belle took fire
A thousand times he swore
He'd hold her nozzle ag'in the bank
Till the last soul got ADSore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip.
And her day come atGast-
The Movastar was a better boat
But the Belle, she wouldn't be passed:
And so she come tearin' along that night
The oldest craft on the line
With a Niger squat on her safety valve
And her furnace crammed, rosin and pine
The fire bust out as she cpared the bar
And burnt a hole in the night,
And quick as flash she turned and made
For that wller bank on the right
There was runnin and cursin', but Jim
yelled out
Over all the internal roar:
It'll hold her nozzle ag In the bank
Till the last galoot's ashoreu'
Through the hot, black breath of the burn
in boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness
And knowd he would keep his word
And, sures you're born, they all got off
Afore the smokest acks fell,
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint but at Judgment
I'd run my chance with Jim
'Longside of some piouS gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.
He seen his duty, a dead sure thing,
And went for it thar and then,
And Christ amt a-goin' to be too hard
On a man that died for men.

Though it gravels me like the devil to train

And Drilled and blistered and burned!
How the rebel bullets whizzed round us
When cuss. in his death grip turned!

Through that f1reproof, gilt edged hell!
The rebels seen him as quick as me.
And the bullets buZzed like bees
But he jumped for me and shouldered me-
Though shot brought him once to his

But he staggered up and packed me off,
With a dozen stumbles and falls.
Till safe in our line he dropped us both,
His black hide riddled with balls.

And here stays Banty Tim

The Drumming of Grouse.
/ Country Life In America

from country Lie In America.
Who has not heard the drumming of
ruffed grouse while IN the woods during the
spring months? 1t is the most common
sound of wooing, heard from every thicket
at every hour of the day. There Is still a
misconception as to how the drumming Is
done. The general belief is that the bird
produces the sound by working its wings
rapidly, using them to strike It's body or
log.
1t IS true that the ruffed grouse. like
most chickens, flaps its wings in the ex-
element of It's love song; but that the
drumming is produced In that manner is
myth. I have often watched a cock which,
standing on log and drumming for dear
life apparently did not move a feather,
though l must state that the drumming
was not so loud as II the wings had been
Mapped. Flapping the wings evidently fills
with air the lungs and throat of the bird,
but is not an indispensable agency in pro
ducing the drumming. If the ruffed grouse
could work Its wings as quickly as the
closing strophe Of the drumming. 1t would
be the swiftest motor in existence.

DIR. HARPER UNDER THE KNIFE.
Educator Said to Be Afflicted With
Cancer of Colon

A dispatch from Chicago says: While at
the University of Chicago hundreds of stu
dents were assembled to participate in
prayers for his recovery. DR.. William r.
Harper, president of the institution late
yesterday afternoon underwent serious
surgical operation in the Presbyterian Hos
pital. For nearly two years DR.. Harper
has been afflicted with severe pains in the
abdomen, and about a year ago underwent
an operation for appendicitis. This did
not result in permanent Improvement, and
1t was finally decided, after exhaustive eX-
aminations by his physicians, that second
operation was necessary. 1t was generally
thought by the physicians that it would
reveal cancerous condition of the nteS-
tines near the head of the colon. This dag
nosiS was confirmed by the operation yes
terday.
The operation from surgical standpoint
was a success. The patient rallied splen-
didly from the shock, and is tonight in a
condition that gives every promise of an
early recovery from the effects of the oper-
alton The ultimate recovery of DR. Har-
per is a matter on which the physicians de-
cline to commit themselves, but merely ex-
press 1.-The reasonable hope that the dis
ease may be checked"
1t was found that DR.. Harper was af-
ficted with carcinoma of the posterior wall
Of the head of the colon, and the disease
had progressed SO far that it was found i'm
possible to remove all of the diseased It's

BEEF TRUST CASE PUSHED.
Several More Subpoenas Are Served III
Chicago Despite Holiday.

Saying nothing and saving wood is
succinct way Of expressing the attitude of
District Attorney Bethea and United states
Marshal Ames in the proposed criminal
proceedings against the beef trust for al
legged violation OF the Sherman antitrust
law. They and their assistants were silent,
but busy, at Chicago yesterday, although
It was a court holiday. Several more sub
poenas were served. Those remaining un-
served are for employees of the packers or
for railroad men who are temporarily out
of town.
Sensational stories were afoat that the
packers are panics,ricken and confouuded
10y this latest move of the government; that
they are using desperate means to prevent
the service OF subp0enas on important wit
nesses summoned to appear before the
grand jury March %; that they sum-
moning others 10 conferences with c"1n-
sci and coaching them as to what they shall
and what they shall not say to the grand
jury.
On the contrary word comes from Marshal
Ames' Office that his deputies have re-
ceived every facility to serve the court
papers. Most of the packers and their i'm
mediate representatives have saved the
deputies much time and trouble by sum
moning their employees for the service Ut
the papers at the packing house offices. 80

their homes.
Co. are still to he served but there is little
anxiety about them. SO far as known. not
a witness wanted has put himself out Of
reach of the officers of the law.
AS to what evidence the government,
through the Department Of Justice tha
force under direction of District Attorney
Bethea., has obtained of criminal con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, the public Is
left to judge from the personnel of the mrn
summoned to appear as witnesses. the
only cew that seems to come from al-
thoritative source is that some represents
tives of the SchwarZschild q Sulzberger
Company are especially vulnerable. Au-
thentic advces are that certain individuals
connected with this firm have laid them
selves open to attack by doing things spe-
officially forbidden in the injunction issued
by Judge Grosscup.
