possible to agree and which had been
passed over; indemnity, limitation
upon Russia's sea power, the surrender
OF the interned warships and the grant
Of fishing rights on the littoral of the
maritive provinces.
Peace prospects seemed distinctly
brighter during Thursday. The pleni-
potentiaries labored with seriousness
and earnestness which left not the
slightest doubt that both were anxious
to conclude treaty. Though the main
points remained to be contested aud
the plenipotentiaries of each side spoke
as if the conference would go to pieces
unless the other side gave way, the
spirit of compromise was in the air.

Russia Gives UP Water Outlet.
Russia, by the acceptance of these
two articles, in connection with arti-
cles 2, 3, and 6. surrenders every
vestige of her ambition in Manchuria.
She closes the door to the warm water,
ice-free port Of Dalny, upon which she
lavished her millions, and retains only,
as commercial road, the link of rail-
road connecting her European posses
sions with the maritime provinces
upon the Pacific. The right to police it
with Russian troops or railroad guards
is given up, and its protection will be-
come the duty Of China.
Russia has yielded to Japan on all
questions which precipitated the war.
She has agreed to the evacuation of
Manchuria, has promised to preserve
as far as possible the integrity of China
and has not opposed the cession of the
Chinese Eastern Railway to the Genes

The Russian ENJOYS Thursday seem
ed ready to accede to Japan's demands
on all but two points. These were the
giving up Of Sakhalin and reimburse
ment for the cost Of the war. The
Mikado's ambassadors had allowed ii
to be understood that they would insist
upon these things, but few of those
watching events believed these ques-
lions would be allowed to block the
peace negotiations. BY yielding to the
contentious of Japan in every other
instance Russia acknowledges defeat
and gives to her enemy all that was
asked before the war.
The Chinese Eastern road is
T-shaped. The stem runs from Hardin

more than anything else paved the
way for what is known as the MAN
churian adventure" changing the
whole plan of NJ. White, while Minister
of Finance. His object had been only
to make Of Dalny a commercial entire
port for foreign trade, but, with the
strategic railroad behind them, the
"war party's" aggressive policy began.
The shares of the Chinese Eastern
Company consists of 100000, which,
in the form of single certificate, are
held in the Golfers of the Russo-Chi-
nese bank as trustee. The 4 per cent
bonds issued from time to time for its
construction were guaranteed by the
Russian government and amount to
more than 500, 100000.
The terms of the treaty, as submit
ted by Japan, have not been regarded

tory. Japan has won everything IN

she has won is national prestige. This
cannot be affected by peace terms.

as follows:
Official crop estimates exceeding
those of the banner year 1902, to-
gether with weather conditions which
have advanced corn growth, gave en-
excellent tone to commercial affairs
and business generally was heavy, the
prevailing tendency being better.
Traffic movement, both by rail and
lake, reached a greater tonnage, and
more pressure for additional cars to
move crops is felt by Western roads.

Victims of Atlantic Coast Line Wreck
Grow Larger.
Nearly hundred persons. mostly ne
groes, were killed when an excursion
train on the Atlantic Coast line from
kinston, n. c., bound to Norfolk. Va.
plunged through an open draw over the
western branch of the Elizabeth river.
eight miles from Norfolk The list of
injured was very large.
The train was running at the rate of
fifteen or twenty miles an hour as it
approached the bridge. The specific or
ders of the road to stop all trains at
the bridge, whether the draw is open
or not, was apparently ignored. The
train plunged into the abyss. Both en-
gineer and fireman discovered the open
draw too late to stop the train. The
airbrakes were applied, but did not work
properly. The scene following the wreck
was one of indescribable horror. with the
shrieking of men, women and children
who were drowning, struggling out of the
partly submerged coach and floating in
the river.
The passengers who were uninjured
Immediately started to rescue those i'm
prisoned in the cars. Norfolk and Ports
mouth were communicated with and ply
sicians were sent out on wrecking
train. Many people in the neighborhood
went to the scene of the wreck and
helped in the rescue. A 60-year-old farm
er displayed considerable heroism when
the disaster occurred. He lcaped to the
second coach, cut a hole in its roof and
extricated thirty-five people just before
the car became completely submerged.
The train consisted of six coaches.
Four of these remained on the track.

boats, with guns and ammunition at the
cost of 81, SOC, 900, a larger amount than that
little South American republic has ever

An American, who has just returned from

that President Castro recently declared that
ne was going ''tO fight the Yankees" which
explains the unusual order for ships, arms
and ammunition. 1t is reported that when

LANDSBERG LEAVES LAIR
Has Man Arrested Here on
Serious Charue


In the front door from San Francisco,
out at the back door onto Mexican soil
that is the way s. L. Dinkelspiel, a
merchant Of the northern city, alleges
Nathan Lansberg gets his goods and
then avoids payment by putting them
where the gringo sheriff may not levy
on them.
Lansberg's store is at Calexico, on the
border. Dinkelspie1 claims Lansberg
buys goods on credit and then dumps
them out on Mexican soil, where they
cannot be touched by his creditors.
He alleges further that Lansberg
went to the store of L. Dinkelspiel &.
Son, representing his assets amounted
to 100000 and obtained goods amount.
ing to $695.20, which were shipped on
credit. He made no show Of paying
when the bill became due and Dinkel-
spiel claims that he disappeared.
Lansberg strayed from his border
stronghold into Los Angeles last week
and was arrested by local detectives
at the request of San Francisco auth
critics. who obtained the warrant yes
terday to clinch the case. The defend
ant will be taken north today by De-
tective Ryan of San Francisco, who
arrived yesterday.
