Washington at Saratoga.

Booker T. Washlngton's appearance
at dinner recently In the great dining
room OF the United States hotel ut Sar
atoga caused mild sensation among
the diners. Mr.. Washington was the
guest OF John Wanamaker. former
postmaster general. and acted as es
cort Of Mrs. Barclay warburton, MIR
Wanamaker's daughter. while Mr.
wanamaker walked to the table with
J. II. Il. Roberts. As they walked down
the long line every eye was directed
upon the distinguished negro educator
and the former Cabinet officer. Com
paratively few of those present rocog
nized either of them and there was
n general buzz OF comment and Gran
Ing Of nocks.
Mr.. Washington preached Mt Sara
toga three times. first In the Presby
terlan church. then In the Baptist
church. and late In the evening In the
American Methodist church.

Life is Safest at Sea.

Acting Secretary Murray of the De

received n report from Collector Stran
ahan Of New York, showing during The

New York, of whom 1928 died on the
voyage or about twenty-five deaths pei
100000 assengers.
Allowing twelve days for the aver
age voyage the rate is equivalent to an
annual death rate of about six and one

New Version Of 20. k.r

Now comes fourth version. Gen.
Warren Keifer. in the Archaeological
Quarterly, says that in Urbana, Ohio.
in 1910. when the Harrison campaign
was In progress, Whig farmer drove
into town with this legend painted on
his wagon: "The people is OIL Korrect." /"
The Democrats made fun Of the spell
ing, but Whig tavern keeper near
Springfield stuck the letters 20. K"
over his door, where they remained
until the building was torn down, in
1901. This seems more probable than
any of the other statements. The use
of 20. X" however 1t started, has long
been widespread and respectable. Col
lege presidents. Dank officials and even
proofreaders find the initials indispens-
able In their business.

PRESSURE FOR PEACE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is BUSY
Great4Powers Uniting to Bring Russia
and Japan to Agree On
Terms,

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 21.-Ths
chances Of peace undoubtedly have i'm.
proved by President Roosevelt's action
In stepping into the breach in last
heroic endeavor to induce the warning
countries to compromise their "ir.
reconcilable differences" but the re.
suit is still in suspense. The ultimate
decision of the issue has de facto II
not de jure passed from the plenipo.
tentiaries to their principals. from
Portsmouth to st. Petersburg. and per-
hapS in a lesser extent to Toxic.
Although there are collateral evi-
dences that pressure both by President
Roosevelt and neutral powers, includ
Ing Japan's ally, Great Britain, whose
minister. Sir Claude Macdonald, ac.
cording TO a dispatch received here.
had a long conference yesterday after
noon with Mr.. Katsura, the japanese
premierAis still being exerted at Toxic
to induce, Japan to moderate her de-
mands. there Is also reason to believe
that President Roosevelt was able at
this interview with Baron de Rosen to
practically communicate to the latter's
senior, Mr.. Witte, Japan's irreducible
minlmum-what she would yield. but
the point beyond which she would not
go.
Whether an actual basis of compro.
mise was proposed by the President
can not be stated definitely. The only
thing that can be affirmed positively is
that If Russia refuses to act upon the
suggestion or proposition of President
Roosevelt the peace conference will
end in failure. And in the Russian
camp little encouragement is given,
Baron de Rosen reached here after
an all-night ride from Oyster Bay,
shortly before noon. and Immediately
went into conference with NJ. Witte,
They remained closeted together for
almost three hours, during which the
whole situation was reviewed. Baron
de Rosen communicated to his chief
the Presidents message and it was
transmitted to the emperor. together
with NJ. Whites recommendation.
No clew to the nature of this recon.
mendation has transpired. But 1t can
be said that NJ. Witte. no matter how
he personally may view the PROPOSE
tion. is distinctly pessimistic as to the
character Of the response which will
come from ST. Petersburg.
To a confidential friend this after
noon he offered little hope of a change
in the situation.
The Japanese, 1t is firmly believed,
cling to the substance of the form OF
their demand for remuneration for
the cost of the war"
Perhaps they are willing to decrease
the sum asked. but substantial com.
pensation under whatever guise it Is
obtained. they decline to relinquish.
And they also are firm upon the ces'
sion OF Saghalien. by the transfer Of
the southern branch of the Chinese
Eastern railway first to Japan for re-
linquishment to China, payment for
the maintenance of the Russian pris.
oners and the surrender of the Rus
sian war ships, II Is possible to figure
out total transfer TO Japan in money
and property of about $3.50, 100000.
But this is the limit.
The Japanese ns usual are very retl-
cent and II Is impossible 10 obtain
from them the least Indication of their
view OF the change in the situation
produced by the Presidents action.

AduIteratcd Foods.

DR.. Wiley, chief of the Bureau OF
Chemistry, deserves great credit for
his relentless war on adulterated
foods.
He recently declared in lecture
before the students of the college OF
the city of New York that the adul-
iteration of food and drugs had done
more towards lowering the moral life
in the United States than the use OF
alcoholic stimulants.
Among other examples Of adultera-
ton he stated that the product OF a
widely advertised Vermont sugar
bush was made in Chicago, and that
this Chicago plant turned out more
so-called maple sugar in one month
than Vermont could produce in a
year. The bright-green color of i'm
ported peas, he said, was obtained by
the use of sulphate of copper, which
is very injurious to health. DIR. Wiley
cited many similar cases, and appeal
ed to the students to use all their
power with the object of wiping out
the practice of adulteration.
