Peace ENJOYS Discuss Article 8
Without Result.
1t Relates to the Payment of an
Indemnity.
BOTH SIDES OBDURATE
Neither Would Bulge an Inch
and 1t Was Passed.
Next Comes the Surrender of
Interned Warships.

Portsmouth, Aug. 1.-THE peace plen-
ipotentiaries adjourned for luncheon at
1890, having spent the entire morning
discussing article 9 which includes the
Japanese reimbursement for the cost of
the war. No agreement was reached
and the ENJOYS temporarily laid it aside
and proceeded to discuss the following
article.
The official statement of the proceed
ings follows: AT the morning session
today the envoys discussed article g.
Not being able to reach a unanimous
agreement they decided to record the
divergence of views and proceed to the
discussion of the following article. The
conference took a recess until O'Clock -
The session developed an absolute i'm
passe. Both sides were obdurate. Meth
er would bulge or yield an inch. Agree
ment being found to be impossible the
ENJOYS decided to spread upon the rec
ords their respective views and proceed
to the consideration of article 10 which
provides for the surrender to Japan of
the Russian warships interned in far
eastern waters. This article was being
debated when recess was taken.
1t can be stated with almost absolute
positiveness that the two remaining
articles are in the following order: Ar
| ticle II, limitation of Russian naval
power IN the laf east, article Il, the
grant of fishing rights in the Russian
littoral from Vladivostok to Behring
sea.
The Main Issues.
The natural line of compromise on
the two main issues between the peace
ENJOYS comes out more and more
clearly-Russia to yield Sakhalin to
the suzerainty of Japan upon the
pledge not to fortify the island or use
it for military or strategic purposes
and to allow equal fishing and COM
mercial opportunities to the citizens of
both countries; and Japan to forego
remuneration for 'the cost of the
war;" and to take instead such Incl
dent monetary compensation as she
Liaotun gand Port Arthur roads. the
Chinese Eastern railroad and repay
ment for the maintenance of the 1OO,-
600 Russian prisoners.
The Russians while admitting that
the island of SakhaIfn is of little value
to them commercially or from mill
tary standpoint with Japan controlling
the entrances to the sea of Japan
nevertheless insist most vigorously
that its military possession by Japan
woul constitute a constant threat
against their amritime provinces. 1t is
only separated from the mainland by
the narrow straits of Tartary. 1t could
never be used by Russia for aggressive
purposes, but if in the unrestricted
possession of Japan could be at any
time used to concentrate an army
In winter the straits are frozen and
an army could cross on the ice. In
summer it would be only matter of
hours in boats With Japan able to
operate from northern Korea by cross
ing the Tumen river the Russian mari
time provinces and Vladivostok would
be subject to attack from two fronts.

company for 500 which he claims is
about the amount of damages that he

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 17.-Never be-

witnessed in the erection of steel mills,
furnaces and shops as is now being
shown in this city and the Mononga-

fected, is more than % million dollars,
and the capacity of the iron and steel
wire plants along the Monogahela
river will be almost doubled when all

ACT OF VANDALISM.
Man Near Burlington Has Patch OF
500 Green Melons Crushed.

Burlington, Kan, Aug. IA. L
Woodford is offering a reward of $40
for the arrest and conviction of the
party or parties who entered his melon
patch and maliciously destroyed all the
fruit. Mr.. Woodford has a nice little
grove of peach trees and had the ground
planted in water and musk melons and
pumpkins. None of the melons are
ripe, but one night this week some one
went in the patch and cut practically
every melon in the patch, about 500 in
number.
This was an act of wilful destruction
and Mr.. Woodford wants to know who
did it. He has always made a rule to
give the boys apples and fruit when
they ask for them and thinks he has
received a poor return for his kindness.

ed at the New York navy yard being
a traction nearer completion than the
Rhode Island. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Connecticut was begun
about a month later than the Rhode
Island. The New Orleans Picayune
OF yesterday had the following to say
editorially with reference to the con-
test:
Nearly two years ago two immense
10000 ton battleships were commenc-
ed, one at the New York navy yard
and the ether at the Newport Ship
building Compzny'S yards. The law
under which these twin ships are be-
ing built provides chat one of them
should be built by the government at
navy yard and the other should be
constructed by contract with a private
shipbuilding firm. The relative and
comparative cost of the two ships is
10 be carefully computed, and there
is keen competition between the pri-
vate contractor and the government
yard as to which of the ships will be
completed first.
The keel of the Louisiana, the ship
being constructed by contract with
the Newport News Shipbuiliing Com
pany, was laid February 8, 1902 and
the keel OF the Connecticut was laid
at the New York navy yard a month
later. AT the period of launching
about the same difference in time ex-
listed in favor of the Louisiana, but
since then work has progressed so sat
isfactorily at the New York navy
yard that the Connecticut is now a
fraction further advanced than her
sister ship.
1t now looks promising for the COM
pletton of the government built ship
before the contract built vessel.
Whether the government ship Will
show as economical cost is another
matter, on which there is as yet no
reliable data, but the most important
point Is that both ships will be prac.
tically ready for sea within three
years of the date OF laying their keel
plates, in comparison with a minimum
OF five years for other American bat
tleships. The demonstration by the
government that battleship can be
built even at public yard in the per-
iod of three years is a very valuable
thing, as 1t will enable congress to in
sist with greater firmness on the pay.
ment of penalties incurred by IN
builders of government vessels be-
cause of delays in the date of the de.
livery of ships.

NEW RECORD IN
SWIFT RAILWAY TRAVEL.

Commenting upon the recent speed
records made by the Pennsylvania rail-
road between New York ami Chicago,
the Mobile Register says:
When, in 1893, the New York Gen.
trail and the Pennsylvania Railways
put on twenty-four hour trains be-
tween New York and Chicago, the
country marveled. The immediate in
centive for these trains was the
Worlds Fair, and when the fair had
closed it was discovered that the fast
trains could not then be dispensed
with. Time was cut down from two to
five hours, and for a time it was
claimed by each of the roads that a
profit was realized, but eventually the
cost of the high speed impelled the
roads to discontinue these trains.
The New York Central has now cut
its New York-Chicago time by the
Twentieth Century Limited to nine
teen hours, and the Pennsylvania an
rounces an eighteen-hour schedule be-
tween the two points. To show that
this speed can be made safely over
the latter road it has just made the
distance from the mouth of the Hudson
to the head of Lake Michigan in sew
enteen hours in an experimental run.
BY cut offs the Pennsylvania has re-
Gently shortened its line between New
York and Chicago from SIP to S97
miles. The speed which the nineteen
hour run of the New York Central rep
resents is much higher for that dis
lance than is anything attained in
Europe, though there are trains run.
ming out from London and Paris for a
few hundred miles which go faster for
the shorter course. The Pennsylvania
speed Is still quicker.
1t is interesting to observe by what
expedients the increased speed is at
tanned. 1t is explained that it comes
by Strengthening the lines and reduc-
ing the grades. Curves are being
abolished wherever possible, rivers are
being bridged, mountains are being
tunneled all for the purpose OF quick
ening and cheapening the transit be-
tween important cities. Nor does the
end seem TO be In signt. The war or
speed which has been started between
the two big trunk lines from New
York to Chicago is likely to further
shorten the time.

MR.. ROOSEVELT AND
THE RUSSIAN SHIPS.
Mobile Register.)

The st. Petersburg press IS inGig-
nant that the president of the United
States allowed the Russian warships
but twenty-fonr hours to refit in the
port OF Manila. One would think from
the TRADE that the warships would, If
they were allowed by the United
States. go out of the port as soon as
refitted; but, as that would be only
to invite disaster at the hands of the
Japanese, no such idea is entertain
ed. The st. Petersburg papers hope
TO divert attention from the recent
loss OF the Russian feet, and are glad
of the opportunity TO lay blame on
others than themselves.
The Russian press is a very inferior
article. 1t is shallow and noisy. Even
the official organs possess no dignity
II is not surprising that the autocrat
has not thought them worthy of exer-
cising what is known as the liberty of
the press.
The instructions sent by President
Roosevelt are described by the press
dispatches as laying down new rule.
Our opinion however, is that the rule
is not new, but is now more clearly
defined by its formal PRONUNCIATION.
Beliggerent ships are bound TO re-
spect all prohibitions designed to pre-
vent the use of the neutral port for
purposes other than immediate neces-
sity. AS early as 1863 the French
government, in its dealings With Amer
lean beliggerents, fixed the limits of
neutral hospitality in a rule which
clearly drew The line between the
necessary supplies furnished a belig-
gerent vessel for Strengthening of her
fighting qualities as distinguished from
her ''nayigability-"
The Russian warships were able co
get into Manila with their own steam,
and, whereas complete repairs wJGi'.
require a month o. more to make, the
vessels sould be made ''payigable'' in
side of twenty-four hours, and could
take on what are called necessary
supplies" in that time We under
stand that. in view of these facts, the
president fixed for the russian COM
mander a twenty-four hour limit; and
that at the expiration OF that period,
the Russian vessels not having left
the port, the internement of the ves-
sells began
1t is observed that the Russian gov
ernment's attitude is not reflected by
the st. Petersburg press. No protest
has been made. TIE rule laid down
by the president rests upon so sound a
basis that there is not likely TO be
serious objection TO it.

A Persistent Fighter.

The measures OF WiIberforce In the
British house of commons for the abol-
ishing Of the British slave trade had a
hard struggle before they finally pre-
vailed. On Feb. 10. 1905. WiIberforce
moved without entering into any ar
gument" for bill to abolish the slave
trade after q limited time and for a
committee to consider its propriety
He had been introducing such a bill
almost every year for fifteen years, al
though his twelve resolutions against
the traffic were carried in 1859 without
a division. But year after year the bill
came to wreck, either in the house Of
lords or the commons, suffering defeat
IN 1916 because several Of its support
ers had gone to see new comic opera
1t was doomed to disaster again in
1906, but finally triumphed in 1907.

Captain Greene and Colonel Gaynor
will have to come back TO Savannah
and stand trial on the indictments
pending against them. The extradi-
ton commissioner has decided against
them. They still have a slight chance
of escaping extradition by means Of
habeas corpus proceedings, but it Is
fuch a little chance that it isn't worth
considering
The government will see to It that
an opportunity to escape is not offer
ed them, on the way 20 this city, and
it is a question if bail will be accept
ed after they reach here. They were
out on bail once and jumped their
bonds. The government will be slow
therefore TO accept bail again.
1t is pretty well known what the
evidence against them is. 1t is prac-
ideally the same as that which was
brought out in the court-martial in
the case of Mr.. Carter. II may be
that as strong evidence cannot be pro-
duced against them as was produced
against him. for the reason that some
of the witnesses may be out Of reach
Of the court. Perhaps witnesses nee
essary to the making out OF case
against them are dead. At best, It
will be pretty hard work for the gov
eminent to get together the testimony
that was available at the court-mar-
tial trial six or seven years ago.
However. it is absolutely certain
that Mr.. Erwin, who has had charge of
the case from the beginning of it, and
has followed the fugitiyes with a per-
siStency that is untiring, understands
exactly the testimony that is avail
able to prove the charges set forth in
the indictment, and II is hardly prob
able that he would have insisted upon
their extradition II he were not Eea-
sonably sure that he evidence he has
IS sufficient.
All things considered, il is probable
that it woHld have been better for
the fugitives II they had stood their
trial at the time of their indictment.
They would have stood about as. good
a chance of an acquittal then as they
90 now, and IL they had been convict
ed ii IS possible they would have
served their sentences By this time.

Earthquakcs.

Earthquakes generally do their work
with great rapidity, but there are ex-
ceptions While Caracas and Lisbon
were destroyed in a few minutes, the
Calabrian earthquakes beginning in
1888 lasted four years. Earthquakes
travel across the earth at velocities
varying between several hundred and
several thousand feet a second, the
greater the intensity Of the shock the
greater being the velocity. The sea
waves that frequently accompany
earthquakes also travel at tremendous
speeds. A submarine earthquake near
the coast Of Japan in 1854 gave rise to
sea waves which traversed the whole
breadth of the Pacific at the rate Of
$40 miles On hour. At Simoda, Japan.
the waves from this earthquake were
thirty feet high. AT San Diego, Cal,
they were only six inches high.
