The blue room of the White House was
the scene. and President Roosevelt,
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor. and Kogoro Takahira. the Japa-
nese minister. were the principal CON
ferees.
Japan was the first of the two pow
ers to indicate its acceptance OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposition. The
formal response to his identical note
OF Thursday last was received from the
Japanese government Saturday.
Informal assurances of acceptance OF
the Presidents suggestion were re-

mite character as had been received
from Toxic.

toned are Newport and Manchester.

A Ruse OF War.

1t is not always policy TO acknowl-
edge defeat. A little coolness at the
critical moment sometimes saves the
day, as in the case described in Mr..
Ripley's STORY Of Company F. In a
close encounter during the civil war
two soldiers, one from each army,
came face TO face within short range.
Each put up his gun and fired, as 1t
subsequently appeared. his last car
fridge. Both missed. The bullet of one
man buried itself In a tree, and the
shot OF the other passed through the
coat Of his enemy. Each man, know
Ing bis ammunition was gone, supposed
himself TO be at a disadvantage.
One Of them made a great show Of
reloading his gun, and, stepping for.
ward, demanded a surrender. The
other threw down his arms with
groan.
IF ! had another cartridge, / would
never surrender he exclaimed.
That's all right" calmly remarked
the captor, marching off his prisoner.

1t is difficult for. English women to
realize the blankness OF mind resulting
from the seclusion Of women. II is
true Of most that they have never even
seen a book and rarely an Arabic news
paper. Practically none can read.
They have not even picture books.
Anything like serious conversation is
unknown. They can talk about their
babies or their trinkets, but nothing
else. Their needlework Is mechanical
embroidery. They cannot make their
own clothes. They know nothing Of
what is passing in the outer world, nor
do they even realize that there is an
outer world. In the country the peas
ant women are not secluded. They
are acquainted with the ordinary op-
erations OF agriculture, but in the
towns they know nothing of this. They
have no Idea or wish to know where
