Presidents s Proposal
Placed Before Czar

PORTSMOUTH, n. H, Aug. 21.-The
question Of peace now rests with the
Car. Baron Rosen. on his return to
Portsmouth from oyster Bay, was in
conference with Mr. Witte, the chief en-
voy, for three hours and d half. and
few minutes later their chief Of staff
filed cable message TO Emperor Mich
olas embodying the substance Of the
proposition put forward by President
Roosevelt on Saturday in discussing the
proposed treaty with Baron Rosen Mr.
Witte forwarded his own recommended
lions and il IS understood here that he
Is willing TO accept President Roose-
Velts plan with few notifications.
Witte Pessimistic.
The chief Russian envoy, however. un-
doubtedly fears that President Roose-
Welt may not be successful in ST. Peters
burg. and TO several of his intimate
friends Mr. Witte has expressed the be
lief that Emperor Nicholas cannot be
induced TO accept. either directly or in
directly. the principle that Japan should
be reimbursed for her war expenses.
Baron Rosen, before he departed for
Magnolia, said that the Presidents sug-
seSloHs would be laid before the En-
peror and his ministers and that an
answer might not be received before
tuesday This, he suggested, might

posed treaty article would be acceptable

Pressure on the Car.
1t IS recognized here that the Russian
chief envoy is taking a rather pesslmIs-
tic view OF what the Car viii do Mr..
Witte does not take into consideration
the weishty influence Of the French re-
public and Of Germany in the present
crisis. There is no doubt as Mr.. Roose-

Popular Assembly No Factor.

The calling of a popular assembly by
the Gar. after having been discussed
for two days here, is dismissed as hav-
ing no direct bearing on the outcome Of
this peace conference. It IS noted that
he retains absolute control Of the as
semblage, which IS 10 hold secret ses-
sions, and, hence, bear but little re-
il is understood here. The retention
and its announcement OF the authority
10 render any and all OF It's acts nuga-
tory are taken. even by the Russians
who are frank, to mean that he re-
tains every power Of the Russian bu-
TeuuCracy.
In this position he can use II TO back
up his demand for the continuation of
the war. or by the same token, TO ac-
cept a peace settlement apparently on
behalf Of the people.
Whatever the decision ultimately Of
the Gar, the popular assembly IS not
expected 10 be 4 factor in IT.

The funeral Of Ninson Walsh will
take place this morning at 10 o'clock
from Beaulieu. The services will be
private. and only members of the fam

mate friends will attend. The Rev
Walter LowrIe, rector of Trinity
Church. will officiate in the drawing
room, where Julia Dent Grant and
Prince CantacuZene We're married a few

As Miss Walsh cannot be moved for
some time, during which it will be neceS-

Colored Physician Called.
Mr.. 0elrichs Hysterical.

The condition of Harry Oelrichs was
much more serious soon after the ac-
cident than was known except to mem
bers Of his family. He was hysterfcal.
and il was feared he had suffered some
injury 10 his head. He is still in bed
and. it is said. it viii be fully a week be-
fore he would be able to go out He will
need complete rest to recover from the
shock, from which he appears to have
suffered more than the others in the
party.
Herbert Pell. jr.. was quite lame to-
day, though he was able TO go about
town as usual. Mrs. Kernochan was
comfortable. 1t was feared that she
might have suffered Some internal in

SEER PREDICTED
WALSH'S DEATH
Palmist Warned Victim
Three Weeks Ago.
PROMISED TO BE CAREFUL

tending His Sister.
PROMISED TO BE CAREFUL

NEWPORT. r. /. Aug 1.-THE death
oe young Ninson Walsh. who vas killed
in an automobile accident Saturday,
was foretold by palmIst about three
weeks ago. and the fulhlment Of the
prediction has attracted much attention
among the cottagers.
Mr. Walsh was one Of the guests at
luncheon given by Miss Vera Gilbert in
the villa of Charles Pierrepont II.
Gilbert. at Ochre Point An asIrologer
read the palms of the guests after the
luncheon. When he took up Mr.. WaIsh's
hand he declared it was no use TO read
the palm as the young man would die
in an accident within a month.
Passed Over Lightly.
The matter was passed ever lightly,
but one member Of the party was deeply
impressed and begged young Walsh not
TO be reckless in the use of his auto
mobile. He suggested the ease with
which ne might run into scme vehicle
IN BelieYue avenue, with serious results.
Mr. Walsh replied that he would not be
rash IN the month the astrologer had
given him to live
Over the telephone and at the door of
EeauHeu there were many calls for
Mr.; and Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh and
their daughter Evelyn The latter
whose clear grit at the scene of the
accideot as she lay on the grass with
a bro II thigh was most rem8rka BILE;
was 81 very brave the morning after
though she had not been told of the
death of her brother
Dr. Stewart found Miss Walsh's mind
very clear when he called. He said she
had fully recovered from the effects or
the shock and needed only time for her
fractured limb to knit to be about again.
Colored Physician Called.
DR.. Marcus F. Wheatland, colored was
called into consultation in the case of
Miss Walsh He is a specialist In electro
therapeutics and the X-ray, and was
called to make X-ray pictures of the
fracture OF Miss Walsh's thigh and to
assist the surgeons in determining if it
had been perfectly set, so that no un-
comfortable effects would be felt in
years TO come. DR.. Wheatland trans
ported his large machine TO BeauIieu
and II was set up beside Miss Walsh's
ted and the photographs taken.
The plates disclosed a serious strain
in the right thigh. but no fracture Dr.
! Wheatland viii take other photographs
tomorrow. including several Of the
| limb higher up, where it is expected the
fracture VIII be developed.

road building, has been the fact that
it carries so much money out of local
circulation. We believe, that if de-
veloped, there is plenty of ability
right here at home and it should be
encouraged ifexpenses be lessened in
the way of allowing the use of the
county property, and the state
engineer decide that this can be done
under the law.
The taxpayers of Hartford county
believe in road Improvement provid-
ed each section gets its share, and
we think that the county commits
sioners have i'll view system that
will give all parts Of the county an
opportunity to get the benefits that
come from macadamized highways.
All will concede that it is serious
drawback not to see more local in
terest taken by road builders, who
could undoubtedly do the work
cheaper for the county, and on ac-
count of superior location, make
more money for themselves than can
foreign contractors, and last but not
least, keep the money thus expended
in local circulation.

"A number of negro clubs are being
organized in Washington county, and
a school is being opened to train the
voters how to mark their ballots so
that they will be cast against the
amendment. 1t is said that this is
the inception of like organizations in
every county in the state. The Re-
publicans willinstruct the negroes to
vote against the amendment first,
and some of the more intelligent will
afterwards be shown how to mark
the ticket, but if there is any doubt,
the men will be made to cast their
"plumper" against the amendment.

GOVERNMENT DISCLOS-
IRE.

Many of the departments in Wash
ington are making a very bad show
ing in the light of recent disclosures.
The garbled cotton reports authenti-
Gated by the United States govern
ment have reached such unsavory
notoriety as to require no further
comment. One of the latest reports
tells of the way that a newspaper
has been punished because it has
dared to disagree with government
scientists on the question of irriga-
ton
On December 6, 1904, the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal of New York
printed an editorial on the Geological
Survey in which it deplored the
placing proclamation of arid lands,
under the new irrigation policy OF
the government, under control of the
Survey, predicting that it would dis
tract official attention from the real
ly valuable scientific work, for which
the Survey was organized.
50 incensed was the Director of the
Geological Survey at what he
deemed an attack on his bureau,
that he determined to form an oppo-
sition to the offending journal. 1t is
said that wallpaper was purchased
and stock taken by the employees OF
the Geological Survey. This paper,
drawing from the Geological Survey
most of its editorial talent, came out
a few months later, under the name
of ''The Mining World" OF the
seven directors of the company, four
are officials or attaches of the Geolo-
gical Survey. This department OF
the government has an appropria-
ton Of over a million and a half
dollars, drawn directly from the
treasury, and its officials are sup
posed to give all their time to the
government.
This is another example of the way
that a number of the departments
are making themselves liable to
public criticism.
President Roosevelt has appointed
a Commission to probe every branch
of the government to the very bottom
and to weed out all semblances of
irregularities. That this Commits
sion will have its hands full goes
without saying, and, if its work is
not effectual, grave criticisms will at
once be directed at the head of the
administration of our executive
affairs.

LOCAL BIDDERS FOR ROAD IMPROVE.
MENTS.

The county commissioners, by re-
cent advertisement, gave notice to
contractors, asking for proposals for
macadamizing certain pieces of public
road, the work to be done under the
supervision of the State Geological
Survey, SO that one-half of the ex-
pense can be provided for out of the
funds allowed this county under the
Shoemaker road law. While these
advertisements had wide publicity,
not a single bid was received and Of
course, the work cannot be COM
menced until the contract is awarded
to some one 1t would seem that by
a slight variation of methods in put
ting out this work, the commits
sioners could ind ice some of our
local builders to enter in the COMPETE
tion. The county owns two complete
road making plants, both being Of
the best patterns; at least one OF
these should be available at an early
day Sc that contractors could use
this machinery, thereby cheapening
their bids.
1t has been pointed out in a recent
statement made by Engineer Crosby
that it is almost impossible to get
anyone to bid on state work. One
of the reasons he assigns, is on &C
count of the expensive machinery
that is required to do the work. We
can we'll understand that this is an
important consideration in counties
where the officials are not so we'll
provided as are ours, but why Har-
ford should be made to come under
the same general conditions of less
favored counties is not apparent to
us.
Assuming that there are not legal
complications the cost would be very
much lessened if our own machinery
was considered when the bids were
being made up. Then, too, it is more
than probable that local road
builders, who are perfectly compe-
tent, could be induced to take an in
terest in getting a contract, and
thus, a larger portion of the money
C ould be kept in our midst. One of
the great drawbacks of practical

on account of lack of room.
They have to go almost at your own price.

The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

The shadows drift on palace walls;
They creep beneath the cottage caves;
On limpid lakes each gently falls,
Then hides amid the woodland leaves;
They through the rainbowed chanccl sweep,
And gather round the affairs base;
They haunt the ships that sail the deep,
They rest upon the sailors face.
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

Another year is passing by!
A new year comes to fill its place!
The Eastern Star is in the sky,
But who its shining path can trace?
The Magi, at the Managers shrine,
Had faith that seems to us sublime.
They saw, in babe of David's line,
The Wonderful One of All Time
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

1t opens pages virgin white
On which each soul, its dear delights
OF iocund days, the score may write
Or hours that saddened all the nights.
These written words, that never fade!
That meet us where Times shadows end!
With records that each life has made
AS to the unknown goal we wend.

All who are human feel the spells
The New Year weaves, as, rich in hope,
II comes with sound of joysome bells
To climb the old, old mundane slope.
The sun may shine on fields of snow
Or over blossom bosomed isles;
On sea or shore, on all below,
II crowns the landscape with its smiles.
