Bought

cial. Jack Mcpherson, Welshman, for
mer school teacher and former sailor of
Uncle Sam, is back IN Jail here. He es-
capped three months ago and was caught
near the home of his wife. He denied

Mcpherson worked two afternoons
and one night in making the hole in the
Jail wall. He used a table knife in ad
dition to a table leg and succeeded in
drilling an opening inches by is
through which he crawled with difficult
ty, reaching the ground about 3 o'clock
in the morning. The veteran reached
his home that night only to find the
place guarded by a posse of armed
neighbors. He succeeded in tracing his
wife to town where he had an interview
with her and planned their future &C
tons. He then took a freight at the
Wisconsin Central station here and
worked his way out Of the state.
In Dakota Mcpherson found employ
ment and made a small stake which en-
abled him to return here with money in
his pocket. He is now anxious to com
plete his term of Jail service and return
to his farm and live in peace. An effort
will be made to get him off with a short
term.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Ii
The Emperor of Russia and the Empe-

KOMURA REACHES JAPAN.
The Baron's Reception Was Not
Enthusiastic.
TERMS OF PEACE TREATY,
Complete Text of the Convention Adopted
at Portsmouth Made Public for
First Time.

TOXIC, Oct. 16.-4:3 p. m.-Baron
Komura, the foreign minister, who acted
as chief peace plenipotentiary for Japan,
arrived here today from Vancouver, b.
c., October 3. His reception was not
enthusiastic, those present being prin-
cipally government dignitaries. The
streets were strongly guarded by troops,
police and gendarmes. The baron drove
to the palace in an imperial carriage.
The Emperor showed exceptional hon
or to Komura by dispatching to Ioko-
hama, where he landed, Col. lnouye, his
majesty's aide-de-camp, who went along,
side the steamer in a dispatch boat ana
brought Komura ashore: Baron homu-
ra landed at the imperial enclosure.
While the baron was on his way to
Toxic by train, Col. Inouye constantly
kept at KOmura's side and on arrival
here they drove together to the palace
in an imperial carriage sent from the
household stables.
Reports to Mikado.
The Emperor cordially received Baron
Komura. and during the audience, which
lasted over an hour, it is believed the
baron made a full verbal report to the
Emperor Of the course of the peace nego-
tiations, emphasizing President Roose-
velt's efforts in behalf of peace.
At the close of the audience the En-
peror honored the baron with a written
personal message, highly priced by Japa-
nese statesmen The message expressed
satisfaction at the fact that peace was
concluded and commended komura
able services in the negotiations.
Baron Is Well Again.
YOKOHAMA. Oct 16.-The steamer
Empress of India on her arrival here
today from Vancouver with Baron no
mura on board, was saluted by the Unit
ed States battleship Wisconsin and the
British cruiser Diadem, flagship of Ad-
miral Noel. The baron was greeted by
a number of officials. He said his health
had improved and that he had enjoyed
his trip.

that stockholders will receive dividend

will formally declare the exposition

Exposition a Great Success.
The exposition has been remarkable
success from every standpoint. 1t has
attracted to this city and to the great
northwest a hundred thousand people;
the exposition has attracted investors in
almost every line of endeavOr and it has
made known to the entire country some
of the advantages which the Pacific
coast has to offer homeseekers.
1t is probable that with today's at
tendance the fair will have attracted
over 2,50O, 900 people.
An Incendiary Fire.
1t is possible that the fire which de-
.stroyed the Missouri building at the
Lewis and Clark exposition last night
was of incendiary origin. f. e. Bach,
a prominent business man of this city,
claims to have seen the fire spring up
from a pile of rubbish back of the
burned building. This would indicate
that the fire did not start from defective
electric wiring, as was at first thought
to have been the case. A young man
named Mcdonald says he saw three men

building Immediately before the fire
