After consultation they refused to

NO FRAUD IN TIMBER SALE.
Leupp Says There Will Be No Crook
edness at White Earth.


Washington, Aug 31.-Commission-
er Leupp of the Indian bureau yester-
day discussed in some detail the is
sues raised regarding the proposed
Indian timber sale at White Earth and
the facts which have guided the In
dian officials in determining upon the
time. the regulations and the general
conditions surrounding the proposed
sale.
Mr.. Leupp said, speaking of the
change in dates and the extension of
time, that he has telegram from
Senator Clapp stating that three
months from the official dates fixed
would be sufficient extension, hence
the choice of Nov Is as the opening
day. Regarding the report that only
bidding, he said that at least two
firms had been responsible for sugges-
lions regarding the sale, and the bu-
reau is advised from many sources
that SO we'll are the facts known that
the bidding for the timber will be very
lively.
No Scandal This Time.
Mr.. Leupp believes that the scan
dals which invaded the old La Pointe
Indian sales. when the Indian allotees
were permitted to make contracts of
sales. will not be known in this case.
He believes the $4,000 bond required
with the bids is sufficient, and that to
make it larger would bar many small
bidders who might not be able to raise
money for bonds, but would be able to
raise all necessary funds for logging
operations.
Royalty for indians.
Another feature Commissioner
Leupp mentions as of advantage to
the Indians is that S per cent of the
value of all timber on allotments must
be annually paid to the Indian allotees
regardless of whether the timber is
cut or not. The Indians are required
to pay half of the expenses of scaling
and telegraphing and the expense of
logging crews engaged in fighting
fires.
The commissioner expressed the
hope that the work of cutting the 27O,-
100000 feet of timber will be extended
over many years and that employment
will be given to all Indians who will
work, for the regulations will provide
that indian labor must be employed
in the logging and milling opera
tions.
Mr.. Leupp says that no SHINING
of timber is to be permitted, the regu-
lations calling for the cutting only of
understandable timber, specific provis-
ions being made for this protection of
the value of the lands after the mer-
charitable timber is cut off.

WITH MAGNANlMlTY OF VICTORS
THEY GIVE UP EVERYTHING
FOR PEACE.
RUSSIANS WILDLY JUBILANT
CLAIM DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPH
BUT MORAL TRIUMPH is
JAPAN'S.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 81. - Inc
long and bloody war between Japan
and Russia is ended. The terms OF
peace were settled by Mr.. Wltte ana
Baron Komura at the session OF the
conference yesterday morning, ana
Yesterday, afternoon preliminary ar
rangements for an armlstlce were
concluded and the actual work OF
framing the Treaty Of Portsmouth
was by mutual agreement turned over
to Mr.. De Martens, Russia's great in
ternational lawyer, and Mr.. Dennison,
who for twenty-five years has acted as
the legal advisor of the Japanese for
eign office. The treaty is expected TO
be completed by the end OF the week
End Sudden and Dramatic.
This happy conclusion OF the confer
ence, which week ago would have
been shipwrecked had it not been Tor
the heroic intercessiOn of President
Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic.
For the sake of peace Japan, with the
magnanimity of victor, at the last
moment yielded everything still in
issue. Russia refused to bulge from
the ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had
given to President Roosevelt through
Ambassador Meyer. No indemnity
under any guise, but an agreement to
| divide Sakhalin and reimburse Japan
| for the maintenance of the Russian
prisoners were his last words. They
had been repeatedly reiterated in Mr..
Whites instructions and in the form
of a reply to the
Japanese Compromise
proposal of last Wednesday they were
| delivered to Baron Komura yesterday
morning. Mr.. Witte went to the con-
! ference declaring he was pOWerless
to change the dot Of an i, or the cross
| of a in his instructions. Emperor
Nicholas word had been given not
only to him but to President ROose-
welt. the head of a foreign state.
When Baron Komura. therefore,
| first offered the new basis of compro-
mise, the complete remuneration of in
demnity, coupled with a proposition
! for the redemption of Sakhalin at a
price to be fixed by mixed tribunal
consisting of representatives of the
neutral powers, in fact if not in
words, the solution offered by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Mr.. Witte again
Returned a Non-Possunus.
| It was what Mr.. Witte termed in his
| interview with the Associated Press
the psychological moment" Mr.. White
did not finch. He expected rupture
and as he expressed it afterWard, he
was stunned by what happened. Bar
on Komura gave way on all the dis
puted points With the prescience
that has enabled the japanese to gauge
the mental processes of their adver-
saries on the field of battle and upon
the sea, they had realized in advance
that peace could be obtained in no
| other way. They had warned their
government. President Roosevelt had
also, it is believed, advised Japan that
it was better to meet the Russian pO
sition than to take the responsibility
of continuing the war for the purpose
| of
Collecting Tribute.
| The mikadO at the session of the cab
met and elder statesmen Sunday had
sanctioned the final concession When
Baron Komura yielded the rest was
mere child's play.

recommended to the country the adj
visibility Of war with Great Brit
ain. At the opening Of hostilities Por-
ter saw that there was lack of men

declined the generals commission that
the President offered to him and took
command Of a company Of volunteer
soldiers.

he performed extraordinary feats Of
daring. At the close of the war, how
ever, he declined the post Of general

to him. and, thinking that the close of
the war should close the career Of a
