First In Rock JsIand.

This is the first gathering of the as
sociation in Rock Island, the first meet
ing having been held in Moline, and
the one last year at Davenport. Com
mittees have been at work for months
completing arrangements to make this
the biggest and most successful picnic
ever held by the association. There
are nine lodges in Rock Island county
and four in Scott county. ana these
have united to form an association to
hold an annual social gathering. where
the members of the various lodges can
meet fellow fraters from the lodges in
other parts of the two counties. The
first two picnics were great successes,
and the one this year promises to
eclipse them both, in attendance and
entertainment.

100000 FIRE
At HOBOKEN

New York, Aug. S.-Inside of three
quarters of an hour fire swept away
the Delaware, LackawanDa q Western
Railroad company s terminal in Hobo
ken, seized two ferry boats and prac-
tlcally ruined them, and for half an
hour threatened the destruction Of the
entire water front in the vicinity, in
Guiding the Hamburg American and
North German Lloyd steamship docks,
at which several big ships We're lying.
The property damaged is estimated at
between $400, 600 and $500, 900.
so FAR as known no lives We're lost.
For over an hour huge tongues of flame
leaped from the wooden structures on
the Lackawanna docks, lighting the
New Jersey and New York water
fronts. For time it threatened a loss
larger than that of the big dock fire
several years ago when the North Ger
man Lloyd piers were destroyed with
great loss of life.
The flames started from an unknown
cause on the old wooden ferry boat
Hopatcong, which had been tied up in
the open sea, between the Hamburg
American docks and the CHRISTOPHER
street ferry slips. Twenty minutes
after the alarm it looked as if the en-.
tire lower part of Hoboken, including
the Hamburg piers would be destroyed.
The two burning ferry boats were
towed out into the stream by tugs
The Hopatcong sank later.
After few hours work the fire was
under control, the big steamship piers
had been saved, and rough estimate
placed the damage at $4,000
The new immigration station, which
was built of brick and stone, and oc-
cupied only two weeks ago, cost $780,
600 to build, and was supposed to be

Peace ENJOYS
Hold First Meeting

Portsmouth, N. H, Aug. 9.-The
Russian and japanese peace missions
have submitted themselves to introduce
ton and likewise to all of the ceremon-
iesof welcome and reception on the
part of the United States government
and the state of Newhampshire, and
are on the eve of facing each other for
the purpose of ending the war in the
far east and, if possible, concentrating
a permanent peace between the two
great nations. Wednesday they will
meet in the naval stores building of
the Portsmouth navy yard and will ex-
anime the credentials and powers of
each.
The second days session, to take
place Thursday or Friday, it is expect
ed, will be devoted either to consid-
GRAFTON of the japanese peace terms or
to a proposition for an armistice by the
Russian plenipotentiaries. 1t had been
estimated that if basis of negotiations
for peace is found, the actual negotia-
lions will consume something like five
week s time before treaty can he per-
tected and signed
1t is thought that at Wedne sday s
conference of the peace ENJOYS it may
be possible to exchange the fundemen-
tai bases on which the representatives
of the two belligerent powers may be
able to come to an understanding. II
is only after an accord on these funde-
mental bases that an armistice will be
considered. On one point the Russian
delegates are instructed not to yield,
that regarding a war indemnity
which, it is stated, is against the Rus
sian feeling, against Russian pride and
and against the whole history of the
country.
