IN Impression seems to have been created
that Russian diplomacy and obstinaey trI-
umphed at Portsmouth, and that Japan
surrendered in the negotiations the most
important of her demands. Such an impress
sion Is wholly without foundation. Russia
enjoys high reputation for her diplomacy,
and skill and ability were not wanting on
the part OF her representatives at Ports
mouth. But the real diplomatic triumph
there was won by the Japanese, because
they had the wisdom and the forbearance
not 10 press their demands beyond the
true interests OF their country or the i'm
partial judgment of mankind.
It IS plain that the terms of the treaty of
peace gave to Japan all and much more
than she claimed when war was declared.
Hustilities began because of the conflicting
claims to a preponderating influence in ko-

Miner Killed at Pilot Knob.

W. A. Seymour, a young miner en-
ployed at the Watson mine in Ely,
White Pine County, fell down the
shaft. a distance of 20 feet, Sunday
morning and sustained injuries that
caused his death that afternoon. He
wa working in the shaft mucking out
and after sending up several buckets of
dirt complained to the men at the wind
lass that the air was bad and asked to
be hoisted on top. Upon reaching the
surface he laughingly remarked to his
companions that the air was pretty bad
in the bottom, and sat for a minute on
the platform with his feet hanging
down the shaft. He then got up aud
started to walk away, when he was
seized with a fainting spell aud fell
backward down the shaft. His COM
p~anions did not realize the condition
he was in, as he showed no i'll effects
from the gas when he reached the sur:
face; hence t ey took no precaution

STATE SENATOR In JAIL.
Member of Last Legislature Held for
Selling Liquor to Indians.

The Carson Appeal prints the follow
ing concerning Frank Thorne. who was
elected State Senator from Esmeralda
County four years ago:
Senator Thorne, who made a holy
show of himself in Carson last Winter.
by remaining stupidity drunk during the
entire session, is rounded up where he
will have a chance to sober up for some
time to come.
He is in the Hawthorne Jail On the
charge of selling whisky to Indians,
in which event he will probably pay
Carson another visit, and if Judge
Hawley gets a whirl at him he wi | be
given a cure at the prison that will
wipe out the taste for liquor for some
time, and at least sober him up.
Two years ago Thorne was II of the
the best workers in the Legislative
Halls. He was held in high regard by
the workingmen as he had represented
the Miners Union in Tonopah as it,
president. 1t is simply a case of toC
much whisky, as Thorne, at heart, is a
good man and a very useful one. Some
rich heroic treatment as a term in jlil
is the only way he will yer sober up.

The full report on the investigation
of the affairs of the Equitable Life As
surance Society was made public in
New York on Monday by the State Bu-
reau of Insurance. 1t contains revela-
tons more startling than those in the
earlier report of superintendent Of In-
surance Hendricks.
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew testified
that the Depew Improvement Com.
pany, in which he was interested.
obtained a loan from the Equitable of
$3.50, 900 ON property which the State
Insurance Department valued at only
$3.50, 900. He admitted hat neither the
principal nor the interest had been paid
aud that the Equitable had been forced
to foreclose. He admitted that while as
a member of the executive committee
of the Equitable he had not advised
this loan, be had nevertheless voted for
it. He confessed to making a promise
that the Equitable should be paid the
whole, but in the same breath said that
the promise was not binding.
Jacob II. Schiff, confronted with the
records Of the Equitable, showing that
Kuhn, Loeb hal sold a large o of
Union Pacific preferred stock to the So
ciety, swore that these records were
false. In various sales OF bonds to the
Equitable by his firm he admitted that
a large loss was shown. He confessed
that he had been a dummy director, but
said that since the Equitable scandal
developed he had bought FIVE shares of
stock. paying $4,000 a share.
