Eager Newspaper Writers Give il
Wide Circulation.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Aug. 10.-About
two weeks ago a man claiming to be
a stranded newspaper man came to
Aberdeen and Immediately struck the
local newspaper men for the price

article concerning the alleged inten-
ton of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans to invest heavily in South Da-
kota lands for the purpose of bring
ing poor members of the order from
the crowded cities and give them
start in life on South Dakota farms.
One correspondent sent it to papers
outside the state. AS the man travelled
farther south through the state and
became more familiar with South Da-
kota men, he improved on his story,
until the sum the society was to in
vest, 100000, by the time ne reached
Yankton had increased to 100000
Father Dermody, pastor of Sacred
Heart church at Aberdeen, says that
the only foundation for the story was
a suggestion ne made in the Hibernian,
the official organ of the order, about
two years ago, that the more pros

misunderstanding Of the purpose Of
yesterdays meeting. whereby he neg
lected to bring his papers. Again COR
had resulted were given by Rosen and
Witte. The ride to the navy yard was
in automobiles. Arrangements for
privacy are complete. Cards of admis-
sion to the grounds will not be issued
during the period of the negotiations.
The conditions on which Japan de-
sires to make peace were presented to
the Russians in writing this morning.
1t was decided that the Russians will
study the question and win as soon as
possible give their answer in writing.
Until then meetings of the conference
are adjourned. The question of pow
ers of the envoys was also regulated so
that little difficulty will be exper-

in the naval stores building. The next

mine the fate of the negotiations.

ion that the conference will end In

linouishment of all Russian rights In

wherever there is business to justify
it, or the country to support, there

that have already been made by the

the improvement of those already
constructed. The lines that Mr.. Har-
