Toxic, Oct. s. In passing the peace
treaty the privy council has clearly i'm
pressed the anti-peace agitators the
impossibility of a refusal TO ratify it.
The energies of the latter will now
likely be concentrated i'll an attack on
the cabinet. Public demonstrations ex-
pressing national Indignation against

feeling will only create a strong under
current OF disaffection.
May Cause Violence.
Unwise resistance and any attempt
to suppress opinion may. it is feared.
give rise to acts of violence.
Well informed people. while appre-
ciating the wisdom of putting a stop
to the war, are indignant at the half
measure policy of the government as
exhibited. for instance. in the partition
of the island of Sakhalin.
Growing Impatient.
The public is kealy intent, awaiting
explanation from the government, but

LACKING HARMONY
State Administration Crowd is
Not a Happy Fam
lily.
SHERMAN GETS FEDERAL JOB
Lieutenant Governor and Rowland j.
Hamlin Can Net Come to Agree
ment with Richard Yates.

The much advertised triple alliance
projected by the state administration
forces and devised as a scheme TO de-
feat Senator Cullom for reelection
probably will be broken. AS the re-
suit of conferences held yesterday the
chances are that neither Lieut.. Gov.
Sherman nor former Attorney General
Hamlin will be parties to the Yates
conspiracy to defeat Cullom.
Mr.. Sherman has been rendered the
interstate commerce commissionership
TO succeed Joseph w Fifer. whose res
ignatiOn will take effect Jan. l. II is
learned on high authority that Mr..
Sherman will accept ana that his
views respecting the senatOrship will
be reflected week or 10 days hence
in a statement which will be given out
by Senator Orville F. Berry, of Han
cock county. Senator Berry is a close
friend of Mr.. Sherman and represents
the same senatorial district.
Hamlin May BE Judge.
The deal with Sherman has been
virtually closed, but no definite ar
rangement has been made with Mr..
Hamlin, although assurance is given
by Cullom leaders that the Shelby
county man will be satisfactorily cared
for. 1t is suggested that Mr.. Hamlin
may be appointed a federal judge in
the District of Columbia. bur. at any
rate, what are regarded as sufficient
inducements will be offered him TO
oIIit the senatorial race
The Hamlin situation is somewhat
clouded, but it is regarded as morally
certain that Sherman is already out of
the senatorial contest and that in due
time the western Illinois counties, for
which he is spokesman, will give their
support to Senator Cullom.
1t is also learned that the PROPOSE
ton to make Sherman Filters success
sor has been under consideration for
several weeks. The crisis was reach
ed last night when Senators Cullom
and Hopkins. Speaker Cannon of the
national house of representatives. Unit
ed States Marshal Hitch. Mr.. Hamlin.
Senator Berry and other representa-
tiyes of Senator Cullom and Lieut.. Gov.
Sherman met in conference i'll the Le-
land hotel. Ii is reported that Senator
Cullom and Speaker Cannon promised
TO use their influence to land the inter
state commerce cOmmiSSiOnerShip for
Sherman.
