RESCUED FROM ARCTIC.
Expedition of 1908 Found by Relic
Party just In Time.

Party just In Time.
Christiana, Norway, Aug. IL. - An
thony Fiala's expedition to the north
POLE has been rescued. The Terra
Nova, the relief ship sent out in March
to find the explorers, was sighted today
Oh Honigvag. She signaled that she
he'd on board Anthony Fiala and his
party. One Norwegian seaman in the
party died of natural causes.
The party reached latitude of 80
degrees 50 minutes north latitude.
William Ziegler, the late baking
powder millionaire, sent out ANTHONY
Fiala in 1908 to discover the north
pole. The party sailed in the steam
ship America. They penetrated to the
latitude given when their ship became
locked in as the ice grew solid in the
Arctic winter. There was nothing to
do but to battle with the ice, cutting
away that nearest the boat that the
upheaval of the great blocks of ice
might not crush the vessel. These
enorts, however, were vain, and early
IN the winter the America was ground
to pieces in the polar pack.

In growing belief that the boycott
Of American goods In China originated

Chinese provinces have acted indePeno,

that master hard has brought apou'

prehensive lest the passions OF the peo-
Die should be reused by such methods,
whereupoD they may not hesitate TO be-
come iconoclastic aud attack anything

che Pekin and Tientsin Times says:
ssThose who know the Chinese best
cannot but marvel at this sudden out
burst of patriotism which had hither
to been absolutely non-existent, and
there are those who, reading between
the lines, believe they see the shade OF
another nationality behind the Chinese
agitators."
The Hongkong Press says;
1.-THE way to suppress an anti-Amer-
lean agitation in Canton Is to start
another anti-anything, 20 long as 1t be
foreign. The Chinese merchants

PLOT TO KILL PRESIDENT



New York, Aug. 15.-~That the Erie
railroad fully arranged for the safety OF
President Roosevelt ON his way from
Chautauqua to Jersey City on Saturday
Ia shown by the fact that the presi-
dents car did not come In over the
main line. Instead, the Chautauqua
special was broken In two at Suffren,
N. r., and the presidential party was
brought in by roundabout way over
two small branch roads.
President Roosevelt Ia said to have
objected TO the unusual precautions
taken, but acquiesced when positive
orders from President Underwood OF
the Erie we're shown him. These or
ders we're issued AZ the result OF letter
received by the Paterson police which
said there WAS plot to blow up the
presidents train near Ridgewood, N. =.
The Chautauqua special was stopped
ut Huffren early Saturday morning.
There WAS consultation OF railroad
men, at which 1t was decided to send
the president TO Hparkill, small town
on the Hudson. three miles below
Nyack, by little singe-track road,
known as the Piermont branch and
thence into Jsrsey City on the Northern
railroad, a branch having ita terminals
at Nyack President Roosevelt was
awakened and told Of the change In the
schedule, as the officials did not like
to take the responsibility without his
consent. The president, after some
discussion, said that he was Sin the
hands OF the Erie" and while he had
no fear OF his train being wrecked on
the main line, he would do what the
railway men thought best. Slow time
WAS made over the Piermont branch,
and the Northern railway, and extra
men guarded every part of both roads.

endorsement OF the expense sustained
in the prosecution of the war and the
cession of the island of Sakhalin con-
stitute the main features of the peace
conditions handed by Baron Komura
to M. Witte at the conclusion of the
morning session of the envovs in the
general stores building of the Ports
mouth navy yard. The word "indem-
nityn was carefully avoided, the term
applied being reimbursement" for
the cost of the war. No sum Is fixed,
the amount being distinctly withheld
for mutual adjustment between the two
countries after the Japanese expendi-
lures have been ascertained.
The other terms are substantially
what the world expected and with one
or two exceptions could probably be
entertained as basis of negotiations
They include the following:
The cession of the Russian leases to
the Liaotung peninsula, comprising
Port Arthur and Dalny.
The evacuation of the entire pro-
vince of Manchuria, the retrocession
to China of any privileges Russia may
have in the province and the recog-
milton by Russia of the principle of
the "open door,"
The cession to Japan of the Chinees
Eastern railway below Hardin, the
main line through Northern Manchuria
to Vladivostok to remain Russian prop
erty.
The recognition of the Japanese pro-
tectorate ovar Cofea.
The grant of fishing rights in Siberia
northward from vladivostok.
The REIMBURSEMENT to Japan of all
Russian ships interned in neutral ports.
Finally, a limitation in the naval
strength of Russia in Far Eastern
waters.
