THE END IS NEAR.
ARE SLOWLY AGREEING

Portsmouth, N H, Aug. 1.-THE
crisis in the peace negotiations upon
which the eyes of the world are fas-
tened was approaching rapidly and
the end of this week or the first of
hext at the latest should witness the
deadlock and the end. if the confer
ence is to go to pieces. Two more
OF the twelve articles. numbers four
and six. were disposed Of Article
four consists of mutual pledges to
observe the integrity of China and the
policy of the open DOOR for the COM
merce of all nations. and article six
covers the surrender of the Russian
leases to the Lao Tung peninsula
Port Arthur, Dalny and the Blonde
and Elliott islands.
All questions relating to Korea and
Manchuria, except the cession of the
Chinese Eastern railway and the main
Siberian line running through north
ern Manchuria from the station Man
churia on the Amur via Hardin to
Vlad1vostok are settled in the five
articles already adopted. Some con-
fusion has arisen about those articles
and the following can be accepted
as absolutely accurate:
1. Recognition of Japan's "prepon-
derating influence" in Korea, etc.
2. Mutual obligation to evacuate

CONSIDERED GOOD SIGN
IS PEACEFUL CONFERENCE

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE Asso-
ciated Press dispatch. announcing the
decision of the p1enipOtentiaries at
Portsmouth to waive for the present
consideration of the article relating
to Sakhalin island. and to proceed
with discussion of points that Russia
is willing to accept as basis of nego-
tiations, was received here with some
surprise and even relief.
NJ. Witte is known to have consid-
cred a rupture more than possible.
The Russian correspondents on Mon
day night privately notified their pa
pers that negotiations might be eX-
pected to be ended tomorrow, when
the Russian and Japanese ENJOYS
locked horns on the question of the
section Of Sakhalin. The bourse also
was apprehensive and Russian i'm
perial tours, which were weak yester-
day, fell off one-eighth.
The postponement of one of the two
points on which the fate Of the con-
ference hangs is considered a. good
sign, but not sure one, and the gen
eral opinion remains one of doubt,
though pessimism is losing ground
as the days pass without rupture
between the ENJOYS.

CONFERENCE WITH STOCKMEN--
WILL MODIFY The ORDER

Chicago, Aug. II = Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson held a conference
with about fifty cattlemen at the
stock yards exchange on the subject
of livestock transportation. The cat
tlemen made it plain to the secretary
that they were opposed to the law
which requires shippers to feed and
rest cattle every "a hours on the
journey east. They wanted it extend
ed to SO hours
The ranchmen argued that it dis
tresses cattle more and does them
more harm to take them from the
cars every "a hours, prodding them
with poles and banging them against
the sides of doors and cattle pens,
than it does to allow them to remain
in car for day and a half.
Secretary Wilson told the stock
men, who were from Texas, Colorado,
Idaho, Montana. Iowa and other cat
tie states. that he could not change
the law. but he agreed to modify

PRESIDENT TAKES HAND.
Would Prevent Rupture at Peace Con-
ference.

Oyster Bay, Aug. %. = President
Roosevelt is exerting every particle
CT his great influence to prevent a
rupture of the peace conference at
Portsmouth He is engaged in a SUI
preme effort to induce the ENJOYS of
the beligerent governments to COM
promise their differences and to reach
an agreement that will result in adj
justing lasting peace. In this effort
he has the active and cordial support
of Great Britain, France and Ger
many. Tremendous and worldwide
pressure is being brought to bear up
on the governments at st. Petersburg
and Toxic to not permit the Washing
ton conference to fail of affiliative
result. 1t can be said that there is
ground for hope that it will not fail
Baron De Rosen, Russias ambassa-
dor to the United States and second
of the Russian emperor's ENJOYS to
the peace conference, was with Presi-
dent Roosevelt an hour late this af-
ternoon at Sycamore Hill He came
to Oyster Bay by invitation of the
president, not merely to discuss with
him the situation, but to have pre-
scented to him by the president
proposition which, it is hoped, may
resolve the differences which have
arisen between the ENJOYS of the two
governments. After his conference
with the president, Baron Rosen left
Immediately for his summer home at
Magnolia, Mass, where he and Mr..
Witte, the principal Russian envoy,
expect to spend Sunday.
Neither President Roosevelt nor
Baron lie Rosen would discuss even
in the most general terms the details
or results of their conference. The
ambassador will present the presi-
dents proposition to Mr. Witte to-
night and the likelihood is that it
will be transmitted to Emperor Mich
olas.
On the result of it's consideration
will depend the fate of the peace con-
ference. 1t is not improbable that be-
fore the ENJOYS meet next Tuesday
morning it may be known with some
degree of definiteness whether there
is to be peace in the Far East, or
continuance of the war.

Manchuria, Russia to retrocede to
China all special privileges, etc.
3. Japanese obligation TO restore
the sovereignty and administration OF
China in Manchuria.
4. Mutual obligations to respect
the territorial and administrative in
tegrity of China and the policy of the,
open door"
6. The surrender of the Russian
leases to the Lao Tung peninsula in
Guiding Port Arthur, Dalny and the
Blonde, and Elliott islands.
The remaining seven articles tnot
given in numerical order) are:
The cession of Sakhalin reim-
bursement for the cost of the war; the
cession to China of the Chinese East
ern railroad; the article relating to
that proportion of the main line of the
Siberian railroad running through
northern Manchuria. which includes
provision for policing of the road by
China and not by Russia; fishing
rights on the Siberian coast north
of V1adivostok to the Behring sea:
the article affecting Russia's naval
power in the Far East. and that pro-
viding for the surrender of the Rus
sian warships interned in Far East
ern waters. To all of these Russia
has more or less objection.

Count Lamsdorff and some of the
other ministers were received in audi
ence by the emperor at Peterhoff, but
the anticipated statement was not
given out, and probably none will be.
The foreign Office maintained COM
plete reserve regarding the proceed
ings at Portsmouth, and it is explain
ed that while Russia would be glad
to accord a great measure of publicity
to the results of the deliberations, and
even desires to do so, Japan's atti-
tude on this point necessitates the
avoidance of any statement or COM
ment regarding the negotiations.
To this end all the news relating
10 the Portsmouth conference has
been conveyed to the Russian pub
lie through the medium of press dis
patches.
The idea is advanced at several of
the embassies that an outlet may
possibly be found in a compromise on
the two main points of the dispute, if
japan is willing TO give up Sakhalin
and receive from Russia not a gen.
eral war indemnity, but payment for
any rights that may be acquired by
virtue of occupation by the japanese

the order which now limits the num-
Der of cattle in cars when they are
fed en- route.
LAS to feeding the cattle on the
cars said Secretary Wilson, there
are not enough of the right kind of
cars to make that general. The
stockmen represented today that the
recent order limiting the number of
cattle in cars that are so arranged
that feeding is possible, was a hard
ship, and argued to modify it,
The railroads also contend that I'M
loading once every Sc hours is often
enough. A committee of operating
and traffic men was appointed to join
with the cattle shippers in present
ing the matter to Secretary Wilson.
The government, at the instigation
of the secretary. has filed 1900 suits
against railroads for violation of the
statute and the railroads are anxious
to have the whole matter settled on
condition that they live up to the new
law in the future.

EMPEROR WON'T AccEDE.
Japanese Terms Must be Very Much
Modified,

Modified.
ST. Petersburg, Aug 22 = AS the
time approaches for the playing of the
last cards at Portsmouth there is
manifested here among certain high
officials and by the press and the pub
lie the unmistakable conviction that
Russia will not yield on the points of
paying an indemnity as such, or of
absolutely ceding Sakhalin to Japan.
The Associated Press can state au-
thOratively that Emperor Nicholas
the day previous to the announcement
of the national assembly was firmly
resolved that he would not accede to
the Japanese demand on either of
these points, and furthermore that the
reception by the people of the assem-
bly, project has done much to strength
en- him in that resolution. 1t is not
felt here that the question of the
transfer to Japan of all interned war
ships and the limitation of Russian
naval force in the Pacific will be

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 30.-
Train No. l. the fastest west bound
regular on the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad, which left Chicago
at 10 O'Clock last night for the west,
was ditcned today one mile east OF
Sheffield, Mo, six miles from the
business center of Kansas City. At
les st thirteen persons were killed and
twenty five Injured, many of them ser.
iously.
TIE wreck occurred in a cut while
the train was rushing at the rate of
fifty miles an hour, and was caused by
spreading rails The train was made
up of vestibuled cars, and willie the
vestibules prevented telescoping in
measure the speed OF the train was
so great that it caused several of the
cars to pile up on top of each other,
taring out the connections. The wreck
age was piled high and under its cores
of passengers and members of the crew
were buried.
Most CT the injured were in the
smoker. The train consisted of one
mail car, one baggage, one coach,
one chair car, four tourist sleepers.
two standard Pullmans and one dining
car. The passenger list was composed
largely of colonization tourists.
Those of the passengers who had es.
capped injury did their utmost to aid
the unfortunates. Rain was ia ling
and this added to the ha1dships of tie
victims.
The fact that the wreck occ aired in
narrow cut which was compi etely
blocked by the demolished Car made
the difficulties of the rescue mere seri-
Gus.
While some of the cars were telescop-
ed, others crashed into the granite
walls that foi med the cut and were
crushed into kindling wood.
The north wall OF the rough stone in
the cut into which the cars were
thrown tore the sides off the day
coaches and passengers were ground
against the wall and either killed or
badly injured.
. AS fast as ths dead were recovered
from the wreckage they were laid in
row farther up the track and covered
with whatever came handy to protect
them from the rain.
