Portsmouth, N. H, Sept. 2.-It is
expected that the treaty will be com
pleted today Only two sections re-
main to be declared. Two caligraph-
ers from the State Department are
already here to begin the engrossing
and the indications are that the GER
emony of signing the treaty can take
place next Tuesday at the latest, and
possibly Monday.
There was a serious conference last
night which continued until almost
midnight, relating to differences on
tie article concerning the division
of Sahkalin island. The Japanese at
first were inclined TO be obdurate, but
arrangements mutually satisfactory
were Professionally agreed to, and it
is expected that the treaty will be
finally signed by the chief plenipo-
tentiaries.
The article relating to Sahkalin in
accordance with the original agree
ment as given in the Associated Press
dispatches of Tuesday night, named
the following mutual obligation:
ITO fortify Sahkalin, and the OBJ
legation of Japan not to fortify the
Laperouse straits
The only other question which re-
mains to be solved is involved in the
details of, the evacuation of Manchu-
ria. The troops are to be Immediately
- h ha To limo
of Mukden and the Russians to Har-
bin The. details of the subsequent
withdrawal have not been arranged
The Japanese desire that the word
describing the status of Laperouse
straits should be "open," but the
Russians wanted it distinctly speci-
fied that no Notifications should be
erected on the Japanese side which
could support a war fleet or under
whose guns fleet could operate.
They did not want situation like
that of Gibraltar, which although
open" could if England desired, be
instantly closed. AS to the evacuation
of Manchuria the Japanese want the
method and time of withdrawal to be
particularized and the number OF
railroad guards who are to remain
specified To permit this question to
be left open would be equal to ta-
to retain her sphere of influence in
Manchuria. 1t would revive in way
the very situation which existed be
fore the war The control of Manchu-
ria might become a bone of conten.
ton leading eventually to another
war.

FEAR FOR NIAGARA
IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM FALLS.
Commercial Enterprises are Making
Heavy Drains on This Famous Show
Place-lts Tremendous Electrical
Power the lnducement.

Niagara Falls, August 1.-THE
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the possibil-
ity of a practical wipng out of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
Quiring more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the
electricity produced by the waters of
the mighty river is the concern which
by the five or six thousand degree
heat of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as
so much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though of compare
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the com
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness In buildings of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn of the farmer
to the country villa of the wealthy, as
well as for lighting the streets of a
LARGE number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed,
and the manufacture and sale of
acetylene generators has become a
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and Is
steadily growing.

Forbidden Guest,

The following verse from recent poem
on Our Christmas Guests" discloses a
delicate little hint:
Come from that darkened corner! You're
the imp who in my ear
For thirty years has whispered, with
feverish lips of fear,
That the thing to get was money, the
stuff that men most prize;
Don't think I'm longer blinded by the
glamor of your lies.
For you re mighty liar. and the thing
to keep is health,
And it has a value greater than all your
boosted wealth.
And another one is honor, and some more
are truth and right;
l can hardly bear your presence amongst
my guests tonight
