Or Was it the Smptuous Spread With
Which the Girls Made Masculin-
ity Happy.

The young folks here had most
enjoyable impromptu social affair I'm
the armory of the MaXtun Guards last
night. On account of rain proposed
hay ride and picnic at a country place
out from town were abandoned, but
the bad weather served only to test
the resourcefulness of the pleasure
seekers who repaired to the sheltf and
protection of the >Guardsmen's home.
A supposedly light lunch furnished by
the girls resolved itself into q Veritable
feast. and the smiles of the waiting
blacks afterwards attested the over
flowing abundance After supper fol-
lowed q carnival of music and fun
making.
The following lines were prompted
by the OCCASION
Toast.
Here's to the girls of MaXton Town,
The uncroWnSd Queens that won't be
down'd,
Who. spite the lowering frown OF fate,
Embrace chance to keep their date,
And laid out such a sumptuous spread
That Insecurity was fed.
They wait not that the clouds roll by
Beguiling time with idle sigh
But in their way, American,
They rival almost very man.
SO long live, and merrily,
These Scottish lasses verify
And each of you, Sonnies,
Get one of the Bonnies.

Passing to the subject of national
assembly and the coming election, Gen.
Trepoff said that one of the great
causes of dissatisfaction would soon be
removed, as work on the law regulat-
ing the right of assembly was proceed
Ing and a law would speedily be tssu-
able under which the people would be
able to meet and discuss the candidates,
their policies and other lawful objects.
The police authorities were not opposed
to such meetings and would not inter-
fere except when the proceedings take
a serious turn.

in st. Petersburg" said the general
"is that they are not accustomed TO
obeying the law and have to learn that

the Zemstvoists want to meet again In
Moscow they have only to ask permis-
sion, stating the object of the meeting,
and it will be freely granted"
Regarding the demand for freedom
of the press, Gen, Trepoff intimated
that the restrictions were more imagin-
ary than real. He pointed out the
liberty with which the papers are now

TWO PERSONS HURT IN
STREET CAR ACCIDENT

John Dodson, 1926 Girard street, sus-
tanned a fractured skull and Fred Ladd
was slightly injured in street car ac-
cident at Eighth and Flower streets at
o'clock last night.
Dodson was driving an American
Transfer company's wagon and had
passed half way across the tracks when
a University Traction car struck the
vehicle, hurting the two men into the
gutter, demolishing the wagon and in
juring the two horses.
Witnesses say the car was running
at high rate of speed and the motor
man did not stop the car until the car
ran 150 feet beyond.
Dodson and Ladd were sent to the re-
ceiving hospital where their injuries
were attended. Both men are employees
of the transfer company and live at
1926 Girard street.
Both horses were injured and were
placed in the care of veterinary. One
of the animals was SC, seriously injured
that 1t will probably be shot.

SHOWS HOW HE DID 1T
Witte Pounds Himself on the Back
With Great Enthusiasm

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 31.--M.
Witte, interviewed at Portsmouth by
the correspondent of The Slovo, is re-
ported to have said:
You see what one gains by standing
firm. 1 was in a frightful position. I
had not the right to accept compro-
mise, and a rupture seemed likely to
enlist the sympathies of all on the side
Of Japan. President Roosevelt appealed
to my patriotism, humanity and good
sense. Fortunately I succeeded in hold
ing out to the end. The Japanese
could not read in my face what was
passing in my heart. From the outset
I assumed such an indifferent tone that
it eventually carried conviction.
when the Japanese presented their
written conditions. 1 laid them aside
without looking at them, and spoke Of
something else. On leaving the room l
Intentionally forgot the conditions lying
on the table. When one of the Japanese
pIenipotentiaries drew my attention to
this, asking if 1 did not wish to take
away secret documents which some
one might read, 1 put the papers care
lessly in my pocket. 1t was thus to the
last minute of the negotiations"

Declares EmphaticaIIy That No Revo-
luton Is Impending
BY Associated Press.

by Associated FTeSS.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 31.-"Per-
sonally L am satisfied-thoroughl
satisfied was the emphatic response
of General Trepoff, when asked for his
opinion of the peace conditions. The
general, who, with M. Witte, Is the
man of the hour In Russia, and, as as
sstant minister of the interior, is more
thoroughly in touch with the actual
sentiment and situation throughout the
empire than any other Russian, added,
still speaking personally, that he con-
sidered Russia, by the terms of the
peace, obtained all that she could have
obtained by prolonging the war. He
considered that, since she was without
a fleet, no matter how victorious she
might be on land she would be unable
to attack the Japanese at sea or retake
the island of Sakhalin.
1t was evident that Russia had OBJ
tanned a diplomatic success and he had
no criticisms Of the terms in any par
ticular. Speaking further of the effect
of peace on the internal situation, Cen
eral Trepoff maintained that conditions
were by no means serious. The foreign
press. he said. is mistaken in supposing
that there is a revolution in Russia. 1t
is true that in Poland and elsewhere
there have been disorders and in Couc-
land the situation is serious. But there
is no revolution. The disorders are only
sporadic.
The return of the army, from Man
churia, according to Gen. Trepoff, Of
fers no ground for apprehension. ut
will be necessary for a large part of
the army to remain permanently In the
far east, and the Homecoming of the
other part will be a matter Of months.

Weatherman Franklin is slowly put

CHICAGO, Aug. s1.-An acute stage

members Of the Chicago Typothetae,
the purpose of the strike being to COM
pei the Typothetae as an organization
to accept the demands of a closed

a days work. Further strikes are ex-
pected in case other houses undertake
to do work for concerns at which
strikes have been begun as the result
of the posting of notices Of an Intention
to inaugurate "open shop" and nine
hours" where 1t is claimed contrary
conditions had been the rule.
Pending such assistance to strike
affected firms the strike leaders pro-
nounced the strike complete and de-
c!ared the outcome a matter Of endur-
ance, spread here or to other cities
not being contemplated for the present
at least. Not counting other employees
in the nineteen printing houses IN

nearly 500 are idle. The strikers claim
that eight large establishments will re-
main neutral, not accepting. work for
houses where strikes are in progress,
and that In the eight establishments
ana elsewhere $500 members Of the
union will be at work helping to sup
ply funds for strike benefits.

advantage of the offer Of Chicago
