.5RNSTICE AT HAND
Konaura and Rosen to Meet
 and Arrange Terms.
RAPID PEOGagsS os PEACE TREATY
IT ss Ncr Almost Completed, Ac. cordirg 10 Repart Received by Wltse From sInrteas and
 Denaison Last SIsrht.

PORTSMOUTH, \. IF. sept. 1LJa- pm, through Baron Ko ura, has agreed to tle immediate coa fusion of al armistlce. At q late hoau .ast night Mr Takabira went to Baron de Ro- SC $ room and explained that he and Baron Komura received instructions to arrange terms of an armistice Baron de Rosen immediately communicated with NJ. Witte, and it is probable that a meeting will be held for the procla- nation of complete suspension of hostilities preliminary to the arrange ment of the details by the two gen erals upon the battlefield.
 Rapid progress has been made in the drafting of the treaty of peace. Baron komura at M Witte's request will probably today fix date for its sigma ture Russia's consent to suspension of hostilities reached NJ. Witte last night in a cablegram from Count Lamsdorff, whom Emperor Nicholas has empowered to deal with the impor- tant phase of the negotiations.
 So rapidly and well is M de Martens, with MT. Dennison, performing his del icate and important task of drafting the treaty that he was able to return from the navy yard last night to report to M Witte the practical completion of ten articles of the treaty. It is expect ed the treaty will in it's entirety consist of fifteen articles exclusive of the pre- amble
 Japan's original demands are said to have numbered thirteen. Only twelve, however, were presented to the Rus sians, as President Roosevelt is credit ed with persuading the Japanese pleni- potentiaries before the convening of the conference to withdraw one of the conditions, which he regarded as un- just. Whether this thirteenth demand dealt with the Qualifications at Vladi- vostok cannot be learned.
 Having waived three of the demands presented-the indemnity, the interned ships and the limitation of Russia's na- val strength in the far east-the Japa- nese final conditions were nine. Sever al of these, however, will be divided in the treaty and grouped into two or more articles.
 NJ Witte is exceedingly anxious to sail for home on Sept. F. In the mean time he wishes to take leave of Presi- dent Roosevelt and personally present the thanks of his emperor for the presi- dents assistance. He is therefore do- ing what he can to hasten the drafting of the treaty, which he would probably be prepared to sign by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week at the latest unless some obstacie should arise.

PROSPERITY FOR JAPAN.

 Kaneko Says Her IndusfriaI Recoy-
 cry From War Will Be Rapid.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Aiilitant Ja- pan passes and industrial Japan takes its place with the coming of peace. ''The transformation will be rapid" said Baron Kaneko yesterday after noon in his uptown apartments. which are as simple in their appointments as the lodgings of a student. Your army of the Potomac was marching through Washington in review one day and week later those veterans of hundred fights had scattered to their homes and taken up the work they laid down at the call of their country. So will most of our soldiers now at the front in Manehuria. And if you were to see them on their farms, at the loom and behind the counter, you would wonder that such quiet, self contained. industrious little men-you might almost say they were meek could have stormed Two Hundred and Three Meter hill and filled the Shakhe with their dead in repeated assaults upon the Russian lines. Well, let us say no more about that.
 They will be absorbed in their tasks of peace and will try to forget the hor- TOTS of war, although the memory of perils shared and a common glory will endure always The reserves are to re- turn to civil life, but do not think the army scheme will be modified. God forbid that Japan should need her sol diers again fin this generation, but we must be prepared to protect the nation ality which we have established on such a firm base and eemented with our blood. Japan will strike only in defense of her honor and her rights, and we hope ic will not be necessary. Certainly we have shown that as an antagonist the Japanese are not to be despised. Japln has taken her place among the great powers of the earth and knows her rights and, knowing, dare maintain them"

A BIG RATTLEsNAKE.
Joplin fMo.) Globe.

Joplin (Mo.) Globe.
 W. B. Edwards, e Shoal Creek farmer. came to Joplin with four-and-a- half foot black diamond rattlesnake in a frail wooden box covered with window screening. and treated the vicious rep tile in a spirit of friendliness that caused more cautious people to shud- der.
 T caught the snake yesterday after noon by lassoing it." said Edwards. My sister in Jaw was walking along a path, when the snake struck at her It was coiled up in the grass alongside the path. It set its fangs into her dress and fell back on the ground. This at- tracted her attention, and she called to me to come and kill 1t. She was car rying a little child in her arms at the time.
 T saw what 1t was. and had my sis ter get out of the way, as 1t was pre- pairing to strike her again. and then got a little rope and made a 1asso, which dropped over It's head. It was easy after that, and I just set my foot on its neck, reached down with a pair of pinchers and pulled out its fangs. Don't you want to buy it2'' he added to the stream of questions fired by each in- terrogator.
 Edwards appeared to have no fear of the snake. Failing to find a purchaser. he sought to erect bargain py BlVln8 the crowd a better view of his snake ship. He deliberately lifted one of the boards from the top of the box. expos- ing his hand and wrist to the lightning stroke of the snake. had the reptile chosen. Evidently his faith in the tooth pulling was perfect But as the lid was raised and the snake twisted around into position to strike, forming the coil that has meant death of hum dreds of people. the crowd. not having the same faith, drew back in apprehen- sion of an attack But the snake made no effort to leave the box.
 The snake is a splendid specimen of the black diamond rattler. It meas ures four and a half feet In length. and is larger than a mans wrist. Nine rat ties and a button constitute the rattle box attachment, showing the age of the reptile to be ten years Last year MT. Edwards killed a diamond rattler on his farm that measured six and half feet in length and had sixteen rattles

as a basis. Florida spends DOT pupil 31o AZ. Louisiana $s.S2, Texas $9.9b, Mississippi s6.4s and Alabama $4.<1. Only two States show 0 greater per cent of illiteracy than Alabama. What sad contrast. What stupendous call to duty. The history of the world teaches unmistakably that intelligence and productivity accompany each other; that ignorance and criminality go hand in hand: that education and civiliza- tion march side by side. Existing con ditions prove our State to be no excep- ton to this rule"
 Mrs. ]. z. Carson and children of New Orleans are visiting with friends in Alec, having arrived yesterday af- ternoon. A report was circulated to the effect that they were directly from New Orleans, which caused little ex- citement, but 1t was soon learned that they had been in Kentucky for several weeks on visit. They will remain here and wait for the yellow fever to die out before returning to their homes in New Orleans. MT. Carson Is one of the efficient conductors on the Louis- vile and Nashville Railroad, and spent a few hours in the city yesterday af- ternoon. leaving last night to take his regular run.

 The funeral of John Jebeles, who lost his life Tuesday night, was held yes- terday afternoon from the undertaking establishment of J. L. Murphy. The interment was in Edgement Cemetery. The funeral was attended by a num- Der of his fellow countrymen from this city and Birmingham and friends in the Model City. His funeral was in- deed a sad one.
 To say that there were not exclama- tions of sympathy and that no one dropped a tear would be doing an in- justice. He had been a resident of Anniston for a number of years, and though what most people call for eigner. he was a man of good and mo- ble impulses. He was fearless, and to his friends he was ever loyal, never being known to betray trust nor for sake a friend in the time of trouble. These traits endeared him to all who Knew him, and the mantle of charity has been sympathetically drawn around his acts.

GOVERNOR EXPLAINS
SURPLUS TO BE USED FOR TWO
 YEARS,
If Special Session of Legislature is Call ed Executive VIII Recommend
 School Appropriation be
 Made to Last Until 1907.

Blount Springs. Aug. 1s.-(special. ) Governor Jelks said today at the Blount Springs Hotel that, if q special session of the Legislature was called, which he anticipated doing. to be ef- fective not before the yellow fever scare had subsided, he would advise the Legislature to appropriate every dollar of such surplus as could be safely spared from the Treasury, to the public schools of this State, the money 10 be distrib- uted over two years. covering the two fiscal years beginning October. isOb.
 The impression might have gone abroad that this money was to be ap- propriated for one seasons school The Governor said that that would disturb, if all w@ allowed to be expended in one year,t the school arrangements In the State. He designed that 1t should be divided and will expect either the accumulation from the increased as- sessment through the 3 mill tax to pro- vide for as much additional for the fiscal year beginning October. 1907. or perhaps the Legislature in its regular session in January, 1907, would appro- priate an additional amount, making the whole appropriation for the fol- lowing years at least equal to the money to be disbursed in the two com ing fiscal years.
 There was a mistake in The Adver- tiser's report of the Governors ad- dress, speaking of the increased as sessment for the past four years. The Governor said that the increase was S7S,0OO, 900 since he had been in office, or about 30 per cent. of what had been the whole assessment up to four years ago. The increase he said was equal to the increase for any thirteen years since the war.
 In speaking of the work of the Con- vict Department, he said that the in crease in the States revenue for this and last year over any previous year in the States history was sufficient to practically pay all governmental ex- penses, excepting. of course. the care of the insane, the appropriations for the old soldiers and schools and the in- terest on the public debt.

wHLLETT ON WASHINGTON.
Congressman Says Tuskesee Teacher
 Has Social Ambitions.

Anniston. Aug, 1S.-(Special. )-Hon. J. J. willett. noted as the presiden- tial boomer of Van wyck of New York before the last presidential election and spoken of as a probable candidate for governor of Alabama, is out in an interview regarding the Washington Wannamaker affair at Saratoga. In answer to the question. What do you think of the Booker Washington in- cident at Saratoga?" replied:
 Booker Washington's Saratoga per formance in walking into the dining room of the United States Hotel with the daughter of John Wannamaker upon his arm is no more than ex- pected of him. Disguise 1t as he may, social equality Is the dream and ann bition of Booker washington's life. He sends his daughters and sons sto white schools and Is not fit leader of his race.
 He is doing his race incaleulable harm as he is raising hopes and dreams of social equality which, must remain forever unattainable His work among 'the negroes must necessarily be in the South, and If the Southern people commence to cut off all appro- priations to negro schools it will be due to such fools as he. President Roosevelt regretted dining with Book CT and has not done the like again. Not so with Booker. He dimes with the whites whenever he get a chance. As for John Wannamaker and his daughter, 1t is nothing more than l expected of them. as John Wana- maker keeps the only restaurant in New York where whites and blacks are invited and allowed to eat togeth- CT. John Wanamaker is a great Pres byterian and Is now urging the con solidation of the Northern and South ern branches of that great church. It will be q sad day for Southern Pres byterians when they permit themselves to be beguiled by John Wanamaker and those like him to lose their auton- omy as a church and become a min ority fraction In the consolidated church"

 A considerable portion of the once untenable marsh Is now in the control of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company, and. within a very short time, the company will have a railroad ward there almost equal in size to what at present Is known as Choctaw yard. Lines have been run for ten spur tracks, to run from the southern end of the Louisville and Nashville shops to the point proper. and to touch the river front. A portion of the track laying is completed and the work will be pushed as rapidly and expeditions ly as possible. It Is understood the railroad company will build wharves there for the handling of fruit.
