PRESIDENT ADVISED SALE.
China's Attitude Made Morgan Dis
pose of HankUv Railroad.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 30.-It
was announced here by President
Roosevelt that the empire of China had
cancelled the rights and concessions of
the Canton-Hankow railroad. The an
nouncement Of the decision was issued
in the form of the following official
statement:
after full discussion with Mr.. Nor
gan it was decided to accept the offer
of the Chinese government 10 pay &c.
10000 as an indemnity for the cancel
lation of the contract fer the building
of the Hankow- Canton railway. The
imperial Chinese government having
cancelled the contract and at the same
time expressed a willingness to pay any
damage, it left only the question of the
indemnity, and, satisfactory amount
having been offered, the stockholders
have agreed to accept the terms.

Continued from first page.
treaty Of peace

treaty of peace"
"That is flne-splendidw exclaimed
the president But" as doubt pass
ed through his mind, "do you think ii
Is authenticY
at is perfectly definite statement, "
Mr.. Loeb responded.
GOOD, goodv the president declared.
The joyful tidings spread as by an
electric impulse through the Roosevelt
household. The president did not CON
ceal his profound qualification at the
successful issue Of the Washington
conference, the initiative of which had
come from him, and his feeling of salts
faction at the outcome permeated the
entire encourage of Sycamore Hill. 1t
was joyful family party that assem-
bled a few minutes afterward around
the hospitable board of President
Roosevelt.
While the president did not seek to
conceal his profound qualification that
the conference has reached an agree
ment, he said he felt obliged in the cir
cumstances to refrain from any formal
expression regarding the work accom-
plished until he should have been in
formed fully as to the details.
1t is regarded here as likely that the
first important work of the conference,
now that a general agreement has been
reached on the main points of differ
ence, will be the framing of protocol
declaring an armistice and providing
for the return of prisoners. The nego-
tiations of permanent treaty of
peace, subject of grave concern to
both powers and to the civilized world
generally, viii be watched with pro-
found interest.
AT the conclusion of their labors in
the Washington conference the plenipo-
tentiaries of both Russia and Japan
will be received by President Roose-
welt either at Sycamore Hill or at the
White House. At that reception there
probably will be some notable utter
anceS.
Throughout the late afternoon and
evening messages of congratulation by
the score poured in upon the president
from people both in America and in
Europe The great part he has played
in bringing about the success of the
conference and in promoting the inter
ests of civilization is recognized
throughout the world, as is indicated
by the cordially and wide range COW
cred by the congratulatory dispatches

PLEAD FOR FREEDOM.
Filipinos BesieEe Members of Com
grcss to Help Them.

MANILA, Aug. 30.-The marble hall of
the municipal building was crowded all
day with followers of the professional
agitators for the independence of the
Philippines, who had been invited by
Governor General Wright to air their
grievances against the insular and fed
eral governments before the visiting
congressman. The meeting was called
to order by Senator Scott of Virginia,
who acted as chairman during the
meeting. The speakers urged the i'm
mediate independence of the islands.
Nothing new developed in the argu-
ments, which were the same as have
been put forward since the civil gov
eminent was instituted.
One speaker until lately a member
of the Hongkong junta, maintained
that the Filipinos were better fitted for
self government than the Greeks, Bull
garians or Peruvians and would be
willing to accept independence under
an American protectorate or system
of perpetual neutrality arranged by
the United States with the leading
powers which would guarantee nonin-
reference on the part of ambitious
powers. The same speaker said that
one reason advanced by Americans for
not granting the Filipinos independence
was their lack of a common language.
Congressman Cooper of Wisconsin
in an interview said:
ut is quite apparent to any one who
has looked into the matter even super
ficially that self government for the
Filipinos at the present time is out Of
the question and that within very
few months after the granting of indie
pendence there would be a fractional
dght, similar to the Aguinaldo-L Luna
feud, which would give the powers an
excuse to intervene and divide the is
lands"

PORTSMOUTH. n. H., Aug. 80 49,
The following statement was issued
last night by Mr.. Sato on behalf of the
Japanese plenipotentiarles: The ques
fions of the final disposition of the is
land of Sakhalin and the reimburse
ment to Japan of her war expenses
have from the first been issues upon
which absolute divergence of views ex-
listed. The difference of opinion upon
these points-not one, but both-have
frequently threatened the existence of
the conference. But his majesty the
emperor of Japan, responding to the
dictates of humanity and civilization,
has in spirit of perfect Cancellation
and in the interest of peace authorized
his plenipotentiaries to waive the ques-
ton of reimbursement of war expenses
and has consented to a division of SAX
halin upon terms which are mutually
acceptable, thus making it possible to
bring the important work of the con
ference TO a successful issue"

PRESIDENT ON SITUATION.
LIS Gratided, but Realizes Importance
of work Yet to BE Done.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug. 81
whistle softly. We are getting into
the thin timber, bur are not yet out Of
the woods"
This homely admonition represents
accurately President Roosevelts view
of the situation at Portsmouth. Peace
IS in sight, but yet is not an accom-
plished fact. Profoundly as he is graf
flied at the results already achieved by
the plenipotentiaries, the president real
lies fully that most important work re-
mains yet to be done. Until that is ac-
complshed it is scarcely the part of
wisdom to do more than whistle soft
~" The cup, raised to the lips, may
be stricken down.
1t is probable the president may
make formal expression concerning
the work accomplished at Portsmouth
by the Russian and Japanese ENJOYS,
but the intimation was that he would
not make such statement in any
event until he should have been as
sured of the success of the conference.
The president has no definite idea
how long the plenipotentiaries may be
engaged in the negotiation of the trea-
ty of peace. He believes that it ought
not to take a great length of time, be-
cause, the points of difference having
tentative agreement reached becomes
practically only a question of phrase
ology. The Importance of the text of
the various sections of the treaty is not
minimiZed by the president, and he APP
preciates thoroughly that obstacles
delay seriously the negotiations or pos
sibly wreck them entirely. The woods
will not be cleared entirely until the
treaty is signed and sealed.
The place to be selected for the APP
pending of signatures to the treaty
raises a question of interest. 1t was
assumed prior to the meeting of the
conferees that the treaty, wherever it
might be negotiated, would be signed
in Washington and be known hereafter
as the treaty of Washington" as the
conference itself, although held at
Portsmouth, is known as the Washing
ton conference. 1t is proposed that the
signing of the treaty take place at Sag
amore Hill as compliment to Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his part in initiating
the conference and bringing it to a sue
cessful issue. The treaty then would
be known as the treaty of Sycamore
Hill" and would go down in history
along with many other important con-
ventions which have been concluded at
places other than continental capitals.
This question lies wholly with the con-
ferees, and it is likely to remain unde
termined until they practically have
concluded their work
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1905-09-02

herself prefer fhe railroad to the
money. In addition to turning over
the money obtained from Russia,
China, IL she took the railroad. would
therefore have to reimburse Japan for
the expense incurred by her in restor-
ing the road, rebuilding the bridges
and changing the gauge. Whether it
remains in the hands of Japan or ulti-
mately becomes a part of the system
of Chinese imperial railroads, a traffic
arrangement must be made with the
part still in the possession of the old
Chinese Eastern company, the stock
of which is held by the Russo-C Chinese
bank.
Both Russia and Japan, If the latter
retains the road, are to be allowed to
have railroad guards" for the pro-
lection Of the railroad property and in
case of disorder calculated to threaten
their interest are mutually to be per
mitted to send troops, but the number
is in no case to exceed those required,
and they are to be forthwith recalled
as soon as their mission is accomplish
ed. This likewise is a very impor-
tant provision and with the East and
West Chinese Eastern line and the
Southern line as far as Kuenchengtse
still in Russia's possession could in case
of a future issue give her control of
the largest part of Manchuria- the
whole vast territory from the fertile
valley of the Sungari, called the
"Granary' of the province, northward
Another important provision is that
Japan's succession to the Port Arthur
and Liaotung leases which Russia sur
renders is conditional upon China's as
sent.
The armistice has not been arranged
as yet The war departments both at
st. Petersburg and Tokyo are consult
ing Linevitch and Oyama respectively,
and it is not improbable that the ar
mistice will be concluded directly by
the generals on the field of battle
