Washington, June From several
usually well-informed sources come ex-|
pressions of opinion that Japans peace
plenipotentiaries would not begin nego-
tiations until indisputable assurances
were forthcoming that Russia's pleni-.
potentiaries were fully empowered to
conclude peace.
Japan was tricked by China after ,tl7>,-
war of 1894. Chinese ENJOYS appeared
at the place of peace making, but not
until after Japan had disclosed her
terms was it discovered that the en-.
voys had no powers. This led to and
international movement, which de-
spoiled Japan of the fruits of the VIC
tories, and the elder statesmen at Tod
kio, mindful of the lesson, are disposed
to run no risks this time.
The place of meeting has not been
decided upon. Japan is now prejudiced
as to this. Her main contention is that
Russia's plenipotentlaries be fully emf
powered.
Assurances have been given, through
some source not disclosed, to several
European ambassadors that Japan 8
indemnity will be reasonable This is r.
interpreted to mean that it will not
be a great deal more than the expenses
of the war, which are estimated from
5000 ,0O0, 900 to 81 100000, 000
Aside from this, it is generally ex-
peeted by the neutrals that Japan will .
demand full control of Korea, Port
Arthur, Dalny the ManchuriaE rail-
way, and, perhzSs, Sakhalin island.
AS to the naturalization of Vladivos-
tok little has been heard here, and
there is apparently no direct informa
ton as to whether the Toxic represents
atives will demand surrender of the
Russian ships interned in neutral ports
as a result of battle.
One of the press reports from st.
Petersburg, which attracted some com
ment, was that Russia's ENJOYS first to
be appointed, would not be empowered
to conclude peace, but would be
charged to learn Japan's terms. There
is excellent, reason to believe that such
an arrangement will not be enerted into
by Japan. That government proposes
to enter into peace negotiations only
with representatives of Russia who are
endowed with full plenary power.
1t is thought that some such sugges-
ton from Russia. as is indicated by the
press report referred to, may have com
plicated the situation SO that the pres
ident was not able to make statement
of progress.

which. the improvements contem-
plated would add, it would be
possible to establish some relation
between the cost of the Improvements
and the actual charges now made and
those which ultimately must be made
in order to insure reasonable return
on investments. AS the expenses OF
operating the reservoirs in no way
depend upon the amount of power
developed, every increase in the use
of power should be accompanied by
lower charges.
When these facts are all known it
would not BE without the province of
the state to invite private parties to
step in and improve the water power
along the lines worked out and under
the direct supervision of the state.
Certain reasonable returns could be
assured investing capital, and for a
safe investment this ought to be first
class. In this manner the interests
of all parties and of the entire state
could be thoroughly conserved and the
rivers could be developed to their
utmost. Journal.

Why suffer from rheumatism when

Balm will relieve the pain? The
quick relief which this liniment
affords make rest and sleep possible,

to find that after awhile the relief
became permanent. Mrs. V. FL.

IT'S THE LITTLE
THINGS MAKE LIFE

The world is filled with failures and
peSSimiStS because SO many of us
dream all our days Of doing great
things, yet neglect to do the little
things that lie right at hand.
Some day we are going to achieve
some great business success and
become very rich, we think. But we
neglect to save the pennies and dimes
and fail to cultivate the little habits
of frugality and providence, and so
we remain poor.
The richest men and the richest
corporations are not above caring for
the pennies, even the fractions of
pennies.
The greatest scientists are not
above study of the most minute and
seemingly insignificant facts In
nature.
Those who learn nothing or
accumulate nothing in life, fail
because they have neglected the little
things.
To some, life is a mountain Of duties
that must never be lost sight Of
''Some day | am going to remain In
bed and rest to my hearts content, F."
said tired woman one day, as she
went over a list Of things that she
thought must be done. That was five
years ago, and recently she was asked
il she had found that ''some day.
and she confessed that she had not.
She never will, for she will never be
able to dig through that mountain of
great things she was foolish to set up
years ago. She has forgotten how to
live, having long lost sight of the fact
that life is made up of little things.
That is the trouble with many of us.
| We want to see the triumphant
ending of a venture before we begin
it. The great Panama canal is being
dug shovelful at a time. When
finished it will be not only the greatest
work of civil engineering in the world,
but it is to be accomplished only by a
series Of little things.
The greatest buildings are laid up a
single stone at time. 1t is of no
avail to us chat we can dream of
mighty structures, if we have not the
patience and the humility to do so
little thing as the laying of a single
stone.
The obstacles to our success are not
great things, but little ones-so little
F., that we do not notice them, OF,
noting. desplse them.
For a commonplace instance of
neglect, take that of woman's letter
writing. Many times woman would
answer letter if she had pen at
hand. Many times she would write if
she had an envelope. Many letters
remain forever unsent because at the
right moment therel was no stamp.
And in the same manner, because
little things come in the way and stop
! us or turn us aside, we fail in MANY
things of moment and become known
as weaklings.
We live not by years, nor even by
days, or hours, or minutes even, but
by seconds. Time is divided into
small spaces, and at the present
nowhere is time only for a small
deed.
But the seconds add into hours and
the hours into years. And our little
deeds, too, If we faithfully do them,
accumulate into great events.
1t is the only way the ordinary life
can become filled with usefulness and
SucceSs.-Milwaukee Journal.
