PEACE NEAR AZ HANDs
Russia is Now Said to Be willing to Ed
the War.

St. Petersburg (By Cable) 1.-The party
within the Government which is urging
the Emperor to indicate to Japan Rus
sia's willingness to end the war il rea-
sonable basis can be reached, as related
in these dispatches before, has been
greatly encouraged the last few days, and
an actual pacific proposal may be just
ahead. The subject has occupied much
of the attention of the conferences at
Tsarskoe- Selo.
Certain Grand Dukes, supported by
General Cakharoff, the Minister of War;
Admiral Avellan, the head OF the Ad-
miralty, and what is known as the war
party, are still bitterly opposed to the
idea of peace under present circum-
stances; but the exception of the Minis
tcrs OF War and Marine. the Emperors
Ministers, backed by NJ. Witte, solidly
favor this course, and the convincing
arguments they offer are telling.
French influences in the same direc-
ton are now being supported by German
opinion. If Emperor Nicholas decides
to approach Japan il will be through
France, and that negotiations will be
conducted either between NJ Delcasse,
the French Foreign Minister, and DR..
Montono, the japanese Minister at Paris,
or M. Harmand, the French Minister
TO Japan, and Count Katsura, the ia
panese Premier at Toxic

pan, it will be remembered. declined TO
treat with China for peace until Ii
Hung Chang, accompanied by Geh. John
w. Foster, went to Toxic clothed with
full powers. The China japanese negotia-
tions were begun in December and peace
was concluded in the following April.
Meanwhile the Japanese made a winter
campaign in Mauchuria.
In the conferences concerning the
question whether Russia should now in
dicate her willingness for peace all
agreed, first, that preparations to con-
tnue the war shall not be relaxed. and.
second, to reject humilating terms.
There would probably be two points on
which Russia would be found impla-
cable, namely, cession of territory and
indemnity to neither of which, it is
said, would Emperor Nicholas ever
agree.
1t is pointed out, however that if ia
pan seriously desires enduring peace on
collateral questions Russia might be
ready to offer liberal compensatory con-
siderations For instance, in lieu of di-
rect indemnity she might turn over to
Japan the proceeds of the sale of all
their rights and property of the Port
Arthur and Dalny and the Chinese East
ern Railways and literally pay for the
maintenance of Russian prisoners in Ja-
pan, and, while refusing to ccde SAX
hahn flight grant rights to the fish
cries there or even relinquish all the
valuable seal fisheries on the Comman-
der Islands.

TO PLACE A WATER WHEEL.
J. S. Mathews, Inventor of Floating
Water Wheel, VIII Test One In Des
Chutess River.

j. S. Mathews the we'll known o.
r. & N. bridge foreman, passed down
the line today in charge of a new
water wheel, which he will place in
the Des Chutes river, near the mouth
OF that stream for the purpose of
testing the capacity of his invention.
The wheel Is a drum five feet in
diameter and six feet long and will
float on top of the water. 1t draws
but three feet of water and is said to
be able to generate 10 horse power.
II will be anchored in the stream
by cables attached to the shore and
will raise and lower with the rise
or fall of the stream and is therefore
non-destructible by high water or
freshets which have always destroy
ed the stationary wheels used in Ore
gon streams.
The drum is airtight and bouyant
and is equipped with paddles or wings
which open as the wheel turns, in
time to be caught by the current,
thus generating enormous power with
a small surface.
weighs but 1900 pounds including the
frames and attachments. The main
shaft is equipped fer the attachment
of knuckles by which power may be
transmitted TO any kind of pump or
other machinery on the shore, and
1t is said to be the first wheel ever
patented which was intended to float
on the surface of a stream.
The wheel will pump 5000 gallons
of water per hour with a No. 4 pump
and its capacity is even greater than
this with a larger pump.
1t is said that a wheel having a ca
pacity of 100 horse power can be
constructed for 5000 thus revolu-
tionizing the question OF power on
running streams. A strong current
is not required to produce power as
the wings unfold and give the wheel
almost double its actual diameter.
The new wheel now completed was
built by the Baker City Engineering
works. II he begins the manufac-
ture of the wheels on a large scale
Pendleton will be his headquarters,
owing to the demand for them in the
irrigated sections near here.
