Possibilities of
The Peace Conference.

II both the plenipotentiaries of
Russia and Japan maintain the re-
spective positions that they have as
sumed, either directly or by intima-
ton, many conservative diplomats are
CT the opinion that the chance of eff
fecting a lasting peace. If any at all,
is extremely small. Russia has al
ready expressed herself in a very de-
termined manner against the payment
OF an indemnity and the cession Of ter
ritory, while Japan has been out
spoken for both q cash indemnity and
the acquisition Of territory at present
Under Russian domination.
The latest rumors relative to the
demands that will be made by Japan
are to the effect that Japan will de-
mand s75O,OO0.OOO in cash, the cession
OF the Island Of Sakhalin, now con-
trolled by the japanese forces, and
an agreement that Japan shall have
absolute control in Korea. In case
these terms are not accepted 1t is
said that Japan, as a counter PROPOSE
ton, will demand the cession Of Vlad-
ivostok and other Russian possessions,
ia addition to a somewhat smaller
indemnity than in the first instance.
Under these circumstances, while
there is no question that both nations
would welcome peace, it is hardly
possible that they will be able to
agree, Rno' unless some middle ground
can be found between the extreme de-
mands Of Japan and the Russian idea
OF what peace is worth to her, the
war will continue until one or the
other Of the belligerents is thoroughly
humbled.
Great hopes are expressed, howey-
er. that the terms of Japan will be so
reasonable that Russia can accede to
them without humiliation and in such
case a lasting peace will undoubtedly
be arranged.

TWO GOOD MEN GONE.

We had in last weeks issue brief
announcement of the death of General
Robert Bullock and Angus Paterson,
two of Florida's oldest and most dis
tinguishea citizens. Their prominence
demands q more extended notice.
General Robert Bullock, who died at
his home in Ocala, July 9th. was
bern in North Carolina December Sth,
1928, and was therefore in his nth
year. He came to Florida when a
youth of 16, beginning life as a teach
er, and about the time OF attaining his
majority he was chosen clerk OF the
circuit court in Marion county, which
position he filled for six years. He
was then commissioned, in 1855, to
organize a company Of mounted vol
unteers for service against hostile
Indians, and served as its captain for
about eighteen months. On returning
to his home he studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1861. After
year OF practice he entered the Con-
federate service as a captain in the
Seventh Florida regiment and served
with valor and distinction throughout
the struggle, attaining the rank OF
hrigadier-general
Gen. Bullock was appointed judge OF
the circuit court, but was ousted I'M
der the reconstruction of 1858. He
was the democratic nominee for lieu
tenant governor in 1872, and was
Tilden elector in 1876. In 1880 he
was elected clerk of the circuit court
in Marion county. He represented the
second district in the 51st and 52nd
congress-, being an able and cOnscien.
tious legislator and a faithful and de-
voted servant of his constituents. He
died full Of years and honors, and
will be missed and mourned by many
admiring friends and fellow citizens.
Angus Paterson, who died at his.
hcme in Madison July 26th, was born
in Glasgow, Scotland, September 18th,
1884, but has spent nearly his whole
life in Florida He was a deyout
Christian, being an elder for many
years of the Presbyterian church. He
was a Mason Of high rank and took a
most devoted interest in the order.
He was a lawyer by profession, and
a most honored and successful one.
He was unmarried, and made his
home with a sister, Miss Katherine
Paterson, a brother who resides in
Gadsden county being his only other
surviving relative. Many sincere and
lifelong friends mourn his death as
that of one whose place in the world
will be hard to al.

A New Theory
As to Cause of Disease.

A recent edition Of the New York
Herald contained a lengthy article by
DIT. L. B. Couch, Of Nyack, n. Y, rela.
tive to a theory he has evolved upon
the cause of many of the diseases
that affict mankind, ana one which,
il is believed, has never before been
considered by the medical profession.
Shorn Of medical phraseology, DR..
Couch contends that such ailments as
rheumatism, Bright's disease Of the
Kidneys and appendicitis--to name
only the most important-are produe.
ed by free carbon dioxide, better
known as carbonic acid gas. This
gas is, as is we'll known, a poison. 1t
is expelled from the lungs in breath
ing. but the doctor claims that its ex-
istenee in the tissues is the cause of
many diseases and all diseases Of the
govt family.
After much study Of the subject, he
explains exactly what causes certain
diseases and, above all, declares that
the remedy, or rather the preventative,
10 to be found principally in the regu-
lstion of the diet. His argument ad.
vances several revolutionary doc
trines. chief of which are that uric
acid is not the cause of rheumatism
and that there is little or no necessity
for the use Of the knife in append
cftis.

And only a few years ago Mr.. De-
pew was widely mentioned as a prob
able candidate for the presidency!
Senator Depew will have to tell the
reporters some awfully funny stories
this time if he expects to make them
forget what they were sent to inter
view him about.
Secretary Bonaparte's reference to
whitewash is calculated to make Paul
Morton read that letter with a violent
twitching of the left eyelid.
Mr. LoaSiis has been in Europe
several wseks, but up to date we have
heard Of no principality paying up old
debts because Mr.. Loomis had pur-
chased the certificates at a heavy dis
count.
Doubtless those Equitable directors
and pensioners ana the members of
the beef trust wish that their business
would be treated like the bones Of
John Paul Jones-that is, let alone
for about a hundred years.
