A DRAMATIC MOMENT.
Ready TO Wire Lincyitch OF the Word
to Attack When Witte Cried

(By the Associated Press

Portsmouth, n. H.. Aug. 30--Wond-
erfully dramatic and tragic were the
| circumstances at the stores building
in the navy yard yesterday when Mr..
White came from the secret confer
encc room IN which peace was decid-
cd upon and made the announcement
to his secretaries. Every preparation
had been made at St Petersburg and
at the front to continue the war. The
military party was determined and
Linevitch was to try conclusions with
Go ma.
If a rupture had come the signal
was TO be gwen TO LineVitch. ana an
imperial manifesto, already prepared,
would have been issued proclaiming
to the Russian people the impossi-
bility of accepting the conditions ask
ed by Japan and calling upon the
Russian people to support the Car
and the government in it's decision not
to pay tribute to the foe. Neither Mr..
White nor any member of the Rus
sian mission believed peace possible.
Every preparation for departure had
been made. The Russians had not
only packed their trunks but a spe-
cial train had been engaged to take
the party to New York. Mr.. White
went to the navy yard without hope

fatal words were uttered when Mr..

Petersburg and flashed along to
Manchuria as the signal for Linevitch
to attack.
The phrase agreed upon was a con-
ventional oce. For almost IN hour
the secretaries waited. their nerves at
high tension. Suddenly the door
was blown open and Mr. White step
ped out. His face was flushed. He
seemed to be restraining himself as
he advanced. The secretaries held
their breath until suddenly he stop
ped. Instead of words that might
mean death to those far away on the
battle field of Manchuria, which they
expected, he exclaimed:
'Gospoda. mi~.' Gentlemen,

The secretaries could hardly credit
their senses. Mr.. White held out his
arms. Mr.. Korostovetz was the first
to reach the chief whom they all
adore. He threw himself into Mr.
Whites arms and embraced and kissed
him on both checks after the Russian
fashion. Then in turn Mr.. White en-
braced the kiss of peace to Mr..
Naboukoff and Mr.. PIancon All
were overDowered with emotion.

If she elects the latter course Japan
will therefore, obtain as an indirect

mentioned sum. in addition TO reim-

Japan is known TO have given her

fers the money to the railroad, Japan
could not he accused of bad faith.
Both Russia and Japan, if the lat

to have railroad guards" for the
protection of the railroad property,
and in case of disorder calculated to
threaten their interest, are mutually
to be permitted to send troops, but
the number is in no case to exceed
those required and they are to be
forthwith recalled as soon as their
mission is accomplished.

BOYLAN- PEARCE CO LIKE THIRTY CENTS
How North Carolina
Could Make the Prai-
ries Look.

In his address before the New Jer-
sey State Board of Agriculture recent
". Prof. w. F. Massey, of the A. and
M. College, said that if the canal were
cut through the Carolina swamps from
tidewater level at Norfolk to its out
let in the PaSquotank river. tat sec
ton of this State would make the
prairies of the West look like thirty
cents.
The following is quoted from the
address delivered by Prof. Massey:
From the great Dismal Swamp in
Virginia and North Carolina south to
Cape Fear there is IN the coast plain
of North Carolina a series of great
swamps from $50 to 200 square miles
each These swamps are the highest
land in the section, great artesian
springs yelling up and flowing to the
sea and sounds, for all the rivers of
the coast country have their rise in
the swamps. Lake Drummond, in the
Dismal Swamp, is but 10 miles from
Norfolk, and he level of its waters Is
% feet above tide at Norfolk. The
present canal opens up some fine
fla rms near it, and if the canal was
cut through from tidewater level at
Norfolk to its outlet in the PasquOtank
river in North Carolina it would drain
a body of land that would make the
Illinois black prairies look like 30
cents. Wherever there has been any
drainage of these sWampS the results
have been wonderfully profitable. In
Hyde county, North Carolina, the State
many years ago cut a canal from
Lake Mattamuskeet to Pamlico Sound.
which lowered the level of the lake
a number of feet and opened up
series of splendid farms around it
that for manN generations have been
cultivated in corn. and today will make
more corn than the black lands Of
Illinois. Recently this section has been
devoting some attention to truck crops
that can be shipped py water, since
they are entirely cut off from rail-
roads, and they are gradually develop
ing in this line Probably the largest
potato grower in the United States is
in this county Last season Mr. Make
~ of Hyde county, grew $4,000 bush
els of early Irish potatoes. and the
deep, black, peaty soil has been found
well suited for onions and other
crops.

RUSSIA MUST PAY $4,000.

is the fact that the formal recognition
of Japans possession of the Chinese

the junction of the branch of Kirin,
involves payment by Russia TO China
of sum estimated at $75,000,000.
This is the Chinese interest in tn

The question of the ultimate posses

can keep the road or surrender it to

More dead than alive, Frank r. Borden
tumbled in heap from the big refrigerator
in his meat and grocery store at Trenton,

unwittingly locked him in the freezer, put
him to bed and nursed him tenderly until
he was thawed out, and he is none the
worse for his two hours battle for life.
Borden had gone into the Ice box to ar
range some meats, leaving the door ajar.
How careless of some one said Mrs.
Borden a few minutes later, slamming the
door shut and turning the catch. The
noise drowned the yell of CONSIDERATION let
out by Borden but his wife did not hear,
and walked leisurey away while the cap

of his icy prison. After time Mrs. Bor-
den missed her husband she could not ac-
count for his disappearance and numerous
customers were demanding attention.
Greatly agitated, she sent to his known
haunts and then notified the police. While
she was trying to serve the customers she
had occasion to go to the refrigerator, and
when she swung open the heavy door Bor-
den, choked and nearly overcome with the
cold, stumbled out and fell headlong to the
floor.
