tion yesterday.

ernment, in behalf of the Moscow dele.
CATION, addressed the emperor in a
long speech, in which he described the
serious internal conditions which have
caused the Zemstvos to approach his
majesty directly.
The emperor evidently was much
impressed. NJ. Fedeoroff, representing
the St. Petersburg delegation, also
spoke. His majesty replied, express.
ing deep regret at the great sacrifice
consequent on the war and above
everything at the disaster to the Rus
sian navy.
The emperor said:
81 am happy to have heard you.
have no doubt you are guided by an
ardent sentiment of love for the faith
erland in addressing me directly.
Il have been grieved in my whole
soul with all my people at the calami-
ties which the war has brought upon
Russia, and at all those which may
still be feared, as well as our internal
disturbances.
"Dissipate your thoughts. My will
is sovereign and 1t is my unalterable
will that the admission of elected rep
resentatives to the works of state
shall be regularly accomplished.
81 watch daily and devote myself
to this work. You may announce that
to all your friends in country and
town.
Il am as firmly convinced that Rus
sia will emerge strengthened from
the trials she is now enduring. and
that there will be established soon, as
formerly. union between the en-
peror and all Russia, a communion be-
tween myself and the men OF Russian
soil.
This union and communion must
serve as basis for the original prin-
ciples of Russia.
81 have faith in your desire to help
me in this task
Upon completing his remarks the
emperor graciously greeted the indi-
vidual members of the delegation.
shaking hands with them and having
n few cordial words for each.
The fact that the emperor not only
received the bold. plain spoken ad-
dress without so much as an indica-
ton of his disapprobation. but ex-
pressed full sympathy with the efforts
to ameliorate the deplorable state OF
affairs depicted therein, and In the
most direct and explicit fashion re-
newed his promise to summon the rep
resentatives of the people, made the
deepest impression on the delegation.
The delegation is now preparing an
account of the audience which will be
presented to the st. Petersburg douma
tomorrow, and in accordance with
their Instructions, as well as the i'm
perlal wish. will be communicated to
all the. Zemstyos and mayors of

WASHINGTON NAMED.
Place Where eelliserents viii Treat
for Peace.

Washington. June l6.-America's
national capital has been selected as
the seat OF negotiations between the
plenipotentiaries OF Russia and Japan
for treaty of peace. The choice OF
Washington as the location Of the
peace conference marks another for
ward step In the negotiations toward
ultimate peace on the plan suggested
by President Roosevelt. Japan had
suggested Che Foo and refused to
consent TO Paris. which was the choice
OF Russia. The President then named
The Hague as q desirable location. but
both belligerents objected. and they
finally agreed upon Washington.
Should the capitol prove too hot, the
plenipoteEtiaries may adjourn TO some
northern summer resort for a time.
1t is thought that the peace confer
ence will not begin before the middle
Of August.
Pressure is being eNerted upon ia.

WHY EYESIGHT FAILS
INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FIRE.
QUENTLY THE CAUSE.
lIlumInants Of the Past, One and All,
Have Serious Defects-Acetylene
Gas, with Its Clear, unwaverins, Yet
Soft Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes.

Chicago. June 2o.-No one can
go into our schools or meet a
group of children on the street
without noticing how large a number
of them wear spectacles. The proper.
ton seems to increase yearly, and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses. The experience of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten-
live and she thought she was unusual
ly stupid. She said so to the principal
and sent note to the mother, re-
questing that the child be helped at
home II she wished her to keep up
with her class. One day after black
board explanation, the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and by dint
of much sympathetic questioning Miss
C. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached SO often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack of proper food, but In our Ameri-
can homes it is usually due to the
poor quality of the artificial light The
yellow, insufficient light Of the ordi-
nary kerosene lamp, with its smoky
chimney, is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined. The Hickering
light from a coal gas jet is but little
better, and even the electric light,
brilliant as it usually is. has an un-
steadiness due to variations in power,
and glare peculiarly trying to the
delicate nerves of sight. The compar-
atively new illuminant acetylene gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found. 1t gives
q clear white, unwavering light, very
brilliant yet perfectly soft and so
nearly like the rays of the sun that
even colors appear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced. and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at a very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that as
its use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes. particu-
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

STATE LABOR OFFICE

Denver June 19.-Since he became
state labor commissioner two months
ago Il. v. Brake has had 112 com
plants filed in his Office, which have
nearly all been adjusted satisfactorily.
The law only requires that where COM
plants are made by laboring people
that they have been defrauded or un-
justly kept out of their wages the COM
missioner may investigate. 1t does
not give him power to act. but the
commissioner is great moral force
and usually very soon after a case is.
reported it is speedily adjusted, be-
cause the employer is not courting
trouble. The cases are of great va
riety and the claims presented run
from 81 to several hundred.
Women are the greatest offenders,
strange as 1t may seem. They become
angry and discharge a servant or q
dressmaker, refusing to adjust the
wages until the end of the month, or
when they feel like it, and frequently
setting up counter-claim for poor
work or broken dishes. "A poor person
cannot wait, nor can he or she afford
to sue, setting forth the justice or in
justice of the claim against them.

ployment agents. since, unhappily,
good many unworthy persons go into
that business because 1t offers excel
lent opportunities for preying upon
the labor OF others. Recently Mr..
Brake had very aggravated claim OF
this kind. An agent attempted to ship
twenty-three men on train to job
of work on ticket that called for
twenty-one fares. The extra men were
put off, and one OF them made his way
back to the city. He was out his COM
mission to the agent, lost his blankets
and was generally sufferer. The
commissioner was able to adjust the
claim without trouble.
Commissioner Brake has no fund to
work with. but he has managed to Sc
cure legal services in manner of his
own. He has made an arrangement
with II. l. Gregg preceptor at the law
school of the Denver University. to
handle the cases. Mr.. Gregg has
good many young law students who
are looking for experience. and they
take up the petty cases and handle
them for nothing.
Mr.. Brake has recently returned
from a trip over the western part of
the state. looking up labor statistics.
He reports that conditions are salts

few complaints were made to him.
