Pat Themselves on the Rack.

Washington, Aug. go Secretary
Wilson, when informed of the news
of peace from Portsmouth said, 1.-The
peace conference and its results are
due the president and his genius for
doing great things at the right time"
Secretary Bonaparte says, "if the
information from Portsmouth is ac-
curate, the negotiations will be a
source of happiness to the whole civ
ilized world, and can hardly fail to
earn for our own government the
general appreciation and gratitude" ="
Other cabinet members are absent.
Witte, after his return from the
conference said, 81 have kept my
word which / have maintained all
through tho deliberations of peace
conference. ] told the japanese that
would not recede an inch, and
haven't done so. l refused to con-
cede the clause relating to naval limi-
tations, refused to make any money
payments, refused to grant territory,
but gave half of Saghalien at COM
mand of the emperor.
We shall now proceed to discuss
the details of the treaty. We could
not do SO before, until an agreement
had been reached respecting the
fundamental issues. The matters now
to be deliberated upon are still grave,
but are only secondary. now that
peace is safeguarded. We have pro-
posed an armistice to our respective
emperors, and it is a matter of only
few days to arrange a cessation of
hostilities
We did not expect last night the
Japanese would give way. Komura
did not make any new propositions. I
informed the japanese that had
nothing TO add to the previous propo-
sitions Had said the last word. and
1t remained for Japan to adopt any
attitude they wished. Then Komura
said, We accept your conditions"

marshal the above place has been
causing considerable trouble for some
time past, In fact, more than any of
the other places on ''The Row." How
ever, his determination to close the
place was caused by the discovery that

Portsmouth, Aug. 29.-The Scripps-
McRae bureau has just received an
absolute confirmation of the exclusive
statement of yesterday THAI at Satur-
days meeting Witte assured the Jap
anese that II they would waive the de-
mand for a cash indemnity the Rus
sian ENJOYS would bind themselves to
proceed imme diately TO negotiate a
treaty of peace.
Japan and Russia have agreed to
sign a treaty of peace as soon as the
details can be completed. An armistice
is to be arranged Immediately. The
ENJOYS at the meeting this morning
ARRIVED at a complete accord" on all
questions in dispute. This result was
foreshadowed in these dispatches this
morning but 1t had not been expected
that an agreement could be reached
upon Az the disputed points before the
noon lunch hour.
Japan absolutely waived her demand
for cash indemnity. This decision
was arrived at by the Japanese cabi-
net and Elder Statesmen" at their
extraordinary session Monday. There
was never the least doubt that when
the Japanese ENJOYS presented their
concessions in complete form unani-
nous agreement to draw up treaty
Of peace would be reached. The only
doubt this morning was whether the
japanese government. in view of the
alleged craftiness of the Russians
would deem 1t advisable to expose
their full hand
II required just 2 hours of the en-
voys' time this morning to reach a
unanimous agreement. The new
terms offered by Komura were of
such sweeping character and were
considered by the Russians such rad
ical concessions to their views that
they left them no basis upon which
to further prolong objections.
Elaborating the Details.
The discussion that forowed Rus
sia's acceptance took up the question
OF Saghalien, limitation of the Russian
naval strength in the Far East, and
interned ships, and an agreement
speedily followed upon each one. 1t
it believed Japan withdrew the two
latter features of her original de-
mands.

Frater so stated Saturday morning
from the bench, addressing IL incor-
rigible youngsters who had been
hauled up before him. and their par
ents and relatives.

The exact status Of Saghalien is not
learned, but 1t is presumed rhat Japan
is allowed to retain possession of at
least half. II not the whole. This
question, and that relating TO the Chi
nese Eastern railway, VIII undoubt-
edly be taken up and considered dur
ing the elaboration of the treaty,
which is announced to begin immedi-
ately.
II is learned positively Japan did
not put final concession at today's
conference until Russia had again
flatly refused to further discuss in
demnity. Komura made a proposal to
reduce the price asked for half of
Saghalien. I'VE will not pay indem-
nifty, Baron Komura," replied witte.
This is final, this is kussia's last
word. Have you anything else to pro-
pOse?" More liberal terms than were
expected were then offered.

Additional reports received here to-
day from over the county show the
damage done by Sundays storm to
have been even lighter in the grain
section than was first reported. There
was little uncut grain left in the
county excepting in the country north
Of this place and along the line OF the
w. & c. r., and in that section there
was little left in the fields. From
reports received from farmers of He
lix. Warren and other points along
the line by A. L. Knight, that buyer
estimates that loss of about three
bushels per acre was sustained by
those who had grain standing. John
hood. one of the largest growers in
that part, had 400 acres yet uncut,
and his estimate of the loss is as
given above.
Yesterday afternoon, T. G. Mont
gomery returned from Helix, where
he was when the storm occurred, and
from Information which he secured
while there and on the way down he
believes that the loss will be two or
three bushels per acre. though in
In view of the fact that but small
percentage of the wheat was left un-
cut, the damage to that crop is re-
garded as of little Importance by
farmers and grain men. On the res
ervation and most of the section east
of the w. & C. r., there was practi-
cally no grain uncut when the storm
occurred.
However, while little damage was
done to wheat, more or less loss was
incurred by nearly all of the farmers
through having sheds, windmills or
fruit trees blown down. Nothing like
heavy loss has been reported
though, except from the fruit section
in the northern part OF the county.

Milton, Aug. 2S. Especial to the
Fast Oregonian)-According to the
officers of the Fruitgrowers' union of
tins place. the los t. the orchardists
through the storm Sunday is heavy.
SAce that afternoon rcpo,ts have
icaohed them from mcst of the more
important fruit growers of that sec
tion. These show that all of the
peaches and the pears that were
ripe We're knocked from the trees
and will be loss. Also 1t is es-
timated that from one-half to two
thirds of the winter apples were
blown TO the ground, making almost
an absolute loss of that portion of the
crop. Besides the loss of fruit, much
loss was sustained from trees being
blown down or broken. Many of the
trees We're uprooted by the strong
