e rest was mere chiId's play.

The southern half of Saghalien
island is lost to Russia, an island over
which a few weeks ago she had full
sway and ownership.
Russia has been compelled by force
of Japanese arms to consent that all
nations shall have full trade facilities
in Manchuria, a privilege which she
formerly jealousy withstood.
The cars government refused be-
fore the war to recognize any right of
Japan to seek influence and trade in
Korea. AS result of the war Japan
is given a preponderant influence in
the Hermit kingdom, with full power
to advise the emperor on all matters
pertaining to commerce and to war.
Russia has relinquished ownership
in the Chinese Eastern railroad con-
Meeting Port Arthur with Changtfu.
This involves a retrocession to China
by Russia of property rights, and gives
to Japan an opportunity to recoup her
finances.
The car loses all influence in Man
churia, province which his govern
ment was absorbing.

Germany Praises Roosevelt.

Berlin, Aug. 3O.-Japan has won a
great moral victory, Russia a great
diplomatic one. and President Roose-
welt has become the first figure in in
ternational craftsmanship.
That is what Berlin thinks of the re-
suit OF the Portsmouth conference.
The foreign office, where the Asso-
c1ated Press brought the first an
nouncement and the summary of con-
ditions agreed upon thirty minutes be-
fore they were known elsewhere in
Germany, says unreservedly that with
out the Presidents personal exhorta-
lions, supported by his unique position
and the power of the United States,
peace would not have been attained
and that Grmany and the whole world
Will benefit by the craftsmanship
shown by the Washington govern
ment.

Proposed Chinese Parliament.

Peldn, Aug. 30.-The foreign minis
tiers attended banquet which Prince
Ching gave in bidding farewell to the
commission starting from China on a
tour Of the world. The principal OBJ
ject of this mission is to study the
parliamentary proceedings Of the gov
ernments abroad, as the dowager en-
press intends to issue decree at the
new year for the establishment of a
parliament twelve years hence. In the
meantime the government will main
tain body of students abroad for the
purpose of preparing the country for
parliamentary government.
The commissioners will spend a
month in Japan, proceeding thence to
Europe via America The proposition
was discussed of traversing Canada,
avoiding America on account of its
exclusion laws, but the idea was aban-
doned because of the rigor of the Ca
madam climate. The commission will
be accompanied by large retinue.

What Japan Has Won.

The mikado's empire has secured a
place among the great powers Of the
world.
Japan has wrested from Russia the
control of the Liaotung peninsula, in
Guiding Port Arthur, Dalny and the
Blonde and Elliott islands, thus at one
stroke getting revenge for past indig'
mites and what to her are the prime
fruits of victory.
BY Japan's victories the empire has
forced Russia to consent to the open
door for all nations in Manchuria.
A "preponderant influence" in Korea
has been secured, an influence which
admits the right of Japan to give mill
tary and financial advice to the EN-.
peror of Korea.
Japan obtains the cession of the Chi
nese Eastern railroad, south from
Changtfu to Port Arthur, change OF
control which will aid Japan in finan'
cial sense.
Japan has forced the limitation OF
the Chinese concession of 1896, under
which the "cut off" through northern
Manchuria was built to connect the
trans-Siberian AID the Ussuri rail
roads, SO as to provide for the reten'
ton and ownership. of the line by the
Chinese Eastern. Chinese imperial
police are to be substituted for the
Russian railroad guards.
The Japanese treasury is to receive
a liberal sum in payment for the care
of Russian prisoners.
Japan's fishermen secure the right
to ply their trade in the waters of the
Russian Littoral from Vladivostok
north to the Behring sea.

France Gives Roosevelt Credit.

Paris, Aug. 30.-The unwavering con-
viction of France that President Roose-
velt's initiative would eliminate in
peace has received it's reward.
The news of the successful termina-
ton Of the conference at Portsmouth,
which was first made known through
the Associated Press bulletin, produced
a profound impression when 1t was
communicated to the members of the
diplomatic corps and the high officials
of the government, who unanimously
expressed the keenest satisfaction that
the heavy strain and anxiety had been
removed and President Roosevelt's I'M
relenting persistency was generally
considered to have been the main fac
tor in bringing about the happy result.

day messages of congratulation by the

CHAPTER XVIII.

VIA RR. CRAWCOUR readily gave
EAEE Collinson leave to go into
4 W R the town instead of attend
ing school when he heard
why he wished to go.
you are acting very wisely in Hank
away's behalf" he said. 81 never
heard of more infamous transaction.
The boy was foolish, but they had not
any right to take advantage of his in
experience. If you take my advice,
you will go at once to DR.. Begbie We
are rivals in the scholastic line, but
have always heard him spoken of as a
high spirited gentleman and good
scholar. He surely will not tolerate
such conduct in any pupil of his"
81 should think not, sir, and l am
obliged to you for the hint. l did in
tend to go to the police station, but
will go to the doctor first"
do so and let me know the result of
your interview as soon as you return.
These men must give up their spoil or
be punished"
Collinson went at once to DR.. Beg
bie's. 1t was nearly teatime when he
returned and handed Jack his watch
and chain.
Jack was too much overcome to
speak.
81 do not deserve this" he exclaimed
"Eow did you get it?'
81 went straight to DR.. Begbie, who
saw me and behaved, l must say, in
the most handsome manner When he
heard my story, he was shocked and
sent for funston senior"
what did he say?"
HE heard the accusation against
him and replied that the men, of whom
he knew nothing, had, in his opinion,
won the, watch fairly. The doctor re-
torted by saying that it was a cheat
from beginning to end and that he
looked upon Hunston as an accomplice
and should at once send for police
man. Hunston turned pale and at last
consented to go to the Crown, where
the men were, with the doctor and
myself and see if he couldn't get the
watch restored. So we went down to-
gether and found the men, who were
in the bar. We told the landlord he
would probably lose his license for al
lowing such characters in his house,
and he prevented them from running
away. We threatened them with the
police, and they gave up the watch
and chain. Had they not done so we
should certainly have given them in
charge. Hunston sneaked away with
his tail between his legs, as we say of
a dog. DR.. Begbie assured me he was
very sorry that any boy of his should
lend himself to such discreditable
transaction and regretted that the vic
tim was one of our boys. He said fur
Their that he was very anxious to es-
tablish a friendly feeling between the
schools and should be happy IL we
would accept a challenge to play at
football"

Bravo! | say, Collinson, you're
