This sleepy old seaport town shows
signs OF unwonted animation in an
ticipation of the arrival OF the Rus
sian and Japanese peace commission
ers and the opening of their confer

ing houses are filling with visitors,
some of them attracted by mere idle
curiosity, but the majority consisting
OF journalists and photographers
whose official duties bring them
hither. These latter are keenly de-
sirous of learning what if any news
of the conference proceedings will be
furnished them during the progress
OF negotiations. There has been talk
that the strictest secrecy will be
maintained, but in this matter, as in
all that concern the convenience OF
tne commissioners, they will be asked
to decide Tor themselves how far to
hold their conferences from the pub
lie and what facilities shall be given
to the newspaper men to get the news
OF the daily sessions. Among the
newspaper men already on the field
are representatives not only of the
press associations and leading news
papers of the United States and Can

of the leading journals OF European
countries and Of Japan.

NEW YORK, Aug 5.-The feeling
In New York tnis afternoon now that
both the ships have sailed away for
Portsmouth carrying the peace en-
voys. is that both sides are declaring
for peace, but not, probably. for rea-
sons that are thoroughly honest. The
japanese commissioner said he did
not III TX peace prospects were very
bright which the Russians also have
all alt so maintained. Skilled dip
lomats here think this is done for a
purpose and that botn sides would
not come together if they were not
confident of success, and they would
not talk SO much about failure. Each
side is eager to make the best bar
gain II can and their preliminary skir-
mish is to be made with this end in
view. The chances are that conces-
sions will be made by both sides and
that peace will be the fiual result.
This is the American view from the
President down.

Indianapolis, Feb. 20.-The property
loss by fire in the center wholesale
district Sunday, was today placed at
81, 100000; insurance $825,000. The
explosion of chemicals in the Keifer
& Delmetch house with the accom-
panying bursts of flame made the fire
a spectacular one. Falling walls add
ed to the danger and one fireman was
injured, while many had narrow es-
capes. The fire was confined with
great difficulty to the burned district
and the flying sparks endangered a
number of buildings. The Grand Hotel
roof was set on fire by the sparks and
the guests were aroused and fed from
their rooms. This fire was extin
guished with a loss of only $4,000.

FAVORS SOLAR
ATTACHMENTS

Editor New Mexican:
In your issue of February 18th
note a letter objecting to the require
ments of solar attachments as provid-
ed for in House Bill No. "A, which is
a bill requiring surveyors to pass an
examination and procure license in
order to practice.
would like to say few words in
regard to solar instruments. Solar
transits or instruments provided with
solar attachment enable surveyor to
determine the meridian of any place
direct from the sun to within few
seconds of arc. They provide the most
accurate means we have of land sur
veying and are required in all govern
ment surveys. The manipulation of a
solar instrument is very easy but the
theory is not well understood by all
surveyors. The use of a compass in
surveying is limited and very unsatis-
factory. The magnetic needle can on
ly be read to fraction of a degree,
and is affected by local attraction
wherever there is iron or certain other
minerals. The variation of the needle
also affords great chance for error for
it changes at different times of the day
as we'll as for different positions and
seasons.
The objection made, that the unnec-
essary hardship to surveyors that will
have to buy solar attachments need
not trouble anyone. First class at
tachments can be had for any transit
new at $25. The advantage of the SOL
ar in land work is worth that amount
to any surveyor. also fail to see any
opening for graft in any form.
Yours truly,
G.. A. COLLINS.
