PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE st. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Echo de Paris says
he is informed by person who is attached
to the court that Mr.. White will refraiA
from refusing the Japanese conditions
point blank and will submit series Of
counter proposals. In these he will assert
that Russia Is beaten but not defeated, and
is ready to carry on the war, and that she
cannot agree to a oession Of territory or
an indemnity, but would consent to ex-
change the island OF Sakhalin for part
Of the Chinese territory between the Trans
Siberian Railway and the Amur River.
As regards an indemnity, MIR. Witte will
refuse TO admit 1t in principle. but win
consent to the cession Of the Chinese Eastern
Railway, which belongs to private Russian
company, for which reason Japan cannot
claim It by right Of conquest. He will
further propose compromise. based on .
future customs tariff, which would give
Japan adequate compensation for war ex-

"A free excpange Of views was held b.
tween Mr.. Witte and Baron Rosen. and
Mr.. Strauss, Mr.. Schi,f Mr.. Seligman,

American representatives tried to explain
to the Russian gentlemen the state Of public
opinion In the United States and to impress
them with the Importance on the part OF

and repressive laws exercised by the Rus
sian Government against its Jewish sub

"Whie the discussion in its nature could

ECLIPSE on TIME.
Just . Little Black on tho Moon Lady's
Southern Limb.


Southern Limb.
The southern limb OF our esteemed
contemporary the moon, which. like most
Of her SEX is also equipped with other limbs,
was partly obscured last night by the shadow
Of the earth. The shadow appeared on
schedule as predicted in that respectable
annual, the almanac. The observation by
clouds was not continuous. Most Of them
were Of the diaphanous variety, resembling
the gauze skirts OF ballet dancer, through
which black or any other stockings may
be observed without glasses.
At times the moon, and all her limbs were
almost invisible, except on the moon 3
side OF the darkest clouds, wherein. accord
ing to the best informed astronomers, no.
body of intellectual attainments resides.
1t was not great eclipse, as only less than
a third Of the moon was in darkness. The
observation lasted about two hours. The
man on the street was unooncerned by the
little smut on what a geographer might
call the southern hemisphere Of our only
satellite. The views Of the man In the
moon were not obtainable.

in the Hospital With Battered Head.


Policeman Hale of the East Twenty
second street station was accused by an
angry crowd last night Of having brutally
dubbed John Hogan. lather, Of AL East

Hogan suddenly pulled Ratchet from his
pocket and struck him over the head
Hale said that Hogan took to his heelsl
but although he had been stunned by the
blow, he caught Hogan in front Of his home.
Hogan put up fight and Hale said he had
to club him into submission.
A crowd of 200 gathered and they unani-
mously declared that Hale rained blow
after blow with his nightstick on Hagan' 3
head.
James Cristano OF $50 Second avenu
and James Barber Of 40s East Twenty-third
street said that while Hagan was stretched
out on the sidewalk unconscious and with
three or four policemen standing around,
Hale again dubbed Hagan on the head.
Hagan was removed to the station house
in the patrol wagon, followed by the crowd,
which had increased to moro than thou
sand. Hale tried to make his prisoner stand
I'D before the sergeant while he gave his
pedigree, but Hagan collapsed and had to
be carried to the back room.
DR.. Carter Of Bellevue found a small cut
on the polioemans head. Hagan was
hustled to the hospital. The crowd yelled
for Hale, crying -Brutel' and Murderer
Hale didn't leave the station until the crowd
had been scattered.
A number OF witnesses said they would
prefer charges against Hale.

Testimony has already been taken in the
divorce suit instituted by Mrs. Eda Lyde
Fornes against her husband, Charles v.
Fornes.
Lawyer John ]. Hynes OF this city. who
has an Office at ISL Broadway, presided
over the taking Of evidence under COM
mission issued by the Supreme Court OF
Vermont. The taking OF evidence was
entirely ignored by Mr.. Fornes, on the ad-
vice of his counsel, ex-senator Thomas
G. O'Sullivan.
Mr.. Fornes intends to set up that Mrs.
Fornes Is not legal resident OF Vermont
Mr.. Hynes proceeded to take testimony
by default, and at least one sitting was
held, on July II last. What, II any, tes-
timony was taken was not made public.
Mrs. Fornes's advisers decline to tell, and
Commissioner Hynes's lips are sealed.
But it ia understood that Mr. Hynes is pre-
pared II he has not already done 80, to send
back to Vermont the transcript OF the tes-
timony taken before him.
Mr.. Hynes declined last night to discuss
the case in any way. He said that as an
officer OF the Vermont court it would be
manifestly impossible for him to enter into
discussion Of a case pending before him.
Acting Mayor Fornes denied that he had
been away over Sunday to effect COM
promise with his wife. He added that in
the statement printed on Saturday he had
said the last word as far as talking for
publication was concerned.
Mr.. O'Sullivan had a long interview with
his client late yesterday afternoon When
seen afterward the ex-senator said
Il agree with President Fornes that there
remains very little to be said on our side
Of the case. But will say this. that we do
not believe the suit to have been brought
in good faith.
IF it were in good faith 1t should have
been begun in this State. Of which Mr..
Fornes is a resident, and where the allega-
lions made by Mrs. Fornes would have
II proven.
when Mr.. Hynes was named as COM
missioner. and notified us, instructed
Nj. Fornes that the commission was not
regular in the eyes Of the courts Of this
State, though tho Vermont court may
recognize it. On my advice We ignored
the commission.
Il have also advised Mr. Fornes to ignore
the whole suit on the ground OF Mrs. Fornes' 8

Those who have concluded from his
generosity that he is 30 mild and indulgent
will now find him just as firm In his resolve
to disprove the allegations in this action
as he was willing to forgive what had gone

suit. Mr.. Fornes will come out OF this
matter absolutely clear and eminently
