Peace Commissioners
I: Hold Another Session
Article Was Disposed of and There Was Some Dis
cusson On Article II-Another Session Is
in Progress This Afternoon.

which to extend her influence and do
minion.
Mr.. Witte made no objection, but he
declared that the words "preponderat-
ing influence" did not adequately de-
scribe what Japan proposed to do, and
he insisted that the language used should
show Japan's true purpose-which he
contended was to make a Japanese prov
ince of Corea His argument might BIZ
summarized as follows: ".@
Russia has no objection to Japan talk
ing Corea, but you must avow it plain
ly., If it is to be taken it should be
taken officially, so that the world will
understand your purpose to take pos
session of the persons of the entire adj
nlinistration of the Kingdom from the
emperor down to the smallest of the
people. Corea will have no representa-
tive abroad who can explain the situa-
Stion from the standpoint of the Ko-
reafls. All Of which means Corea is to
belong to Japan. So be it. Russia will
not object, but Japan should avow a
purpose which is against the interests
of Europe and America, especially
against the interests OF. the United
States, China and even her ally, Eng
land. If this is satisfactory to Europe
and America, Russia raises no protest.
You propose, to destroy every vestige
of the sovereignty of the emperor of
Corea, but you desire tc employ for
mtila which will conceal your true pur-
poses The country which will suffer
most is America, which viii understand
it III about ten years, when it is too late
To this argument Baron Konura dis
sented most vigorously, although in the
most friendly manner, contending that
Japan only sought TO secure for herself
It. Corea the commercial and industrial
position to which she was entitled. and
to aid in its civilization and develop
inent as well as to pfotetct the kingdom

A GARDENER SUIClDED
BECAUSE OF COWARDICE

Cleveland, Aug. 14.-"When man
feels like / do he ought to die"
Geo. J. Hecker, 62, 382 East Madison
Avenue, frequently said this to his broth
er, VIM. Hecker He made five attempts
at suicide, always by hanging. The last,
early Friday morning, was successful
His dead body a noosed rope about
the neck, was found suspended from a
rafter in barn in the rear of his home
by VIM Kane, janitor of the East Madi-
son Avenue school house, at 80 a. m.
Friday. Kane cut the body down and
notified the coroner.
Hecker was a gardener and in pros
porous circumstances. He owned a
large piece of land on East Madison
Avenue, and raised flowers and yegeta-
bles. He lived with his widowed moth
er, Mrs. Elizabeth Hecker, aged 50. He
never was married One by one his
brothers and sisters married, and his
mother often suggested that he also take
vide
mo, mother" he always replied, 81
will take M wife, but will always live
with you. You need protector"
That was previous to a year ago.
Hecker was then a big, strong, brave
fellow. He once stopped runaway
horse and saved mans life. Alone
he arrested and took to the police sta
ton man found attempting to enter a
house. He was proud of his strength
and bravery.
/. But year ago he was taken ill. When
he recovered, his strength and bravery
had left him. At the sight of strang-
er he would fly into the house and hide
The slightest noise alarmed him.
! Il am a coward" he would say.
Everything makes me afraid. 1 am not
fit to live" A..
/ Thursday Hecker's, brother called at
his home Hecker saw him approach
ing. Wild with fright, he ran into the
barn and hid. When he found it was
his brother, he repeated what he had so
often said about desiring to die. That
was the last time he was seen alive. His
aged mother is Frustrated. ..-.

TRACTION PROBLEM.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. I4-Negotiations

failed to lead to any satisfactory re-
suit, negotiations for settlement Of
the traction question, SO far as the

surned today BY the transpo portatiof

RUSSIANS TALK PLAINLY =
!. ABOUT JAPS AND COREA

Portsmouth, N, H., Aug. I4.-No
had been made with the peace
over Sunday. The session
Of the plenipotentiaries which was to
have been held Sunday afternoon, was
postponed by mutual agreement out Of
reverence to the fact that it was the holy
Sabbath, which is universally observed
in Russia as day Of rest. 1t would,
perhaps, not be- too much to say that
The general feeling is more. hopeful in
spite Of open predictions made by per-
sonages connected with both sides Of the
negotiations, that before next Sunday
the plenipotentiaries will reach an inn
passe where a rupture will become in
eyitable. This pessiInistic yieWEis based
upon the fact that so far as known the
two big barriers to an agreement ~ IN
demnity and Sakhalin remain as high
and insiirmountable as ever.
,s The real struggle is only postponed.
The main problems are no nearer solu-
ton than when the plenipotentiaries
met. The principal reason for optimism
lies in the fact that confronted with the
absolute refusal of the Russian reply to
admit the discussion of either indem-
nifty or the cession Of the island of SAX
halir1, the Japanese proposed to take up
the consideration OF the conditions ser
iatur1. From this it is assumed that the
japanese are prepared to- yield or have
reason TO believe a way will be found to
overcome the objections of their adyer-
saries when the crucial test comes.
An intination comes from high
source that very strong outside influ-
ences are at work on both sides and
that for the moment the effort is to
gain time The plan of having Russia
practically satisfy Japan's claim Of re-
imbursement for the cost Of the war BY
the purchase of the Japanese military
evacuation Of Sakhalin continues to be
advanced Such solution would per-
init Russia To say she had paid neither
indemnity nor ceded a foot of territory.
The debate over the FIRST condition s.
the recognition Of Japai1's sspreponderat-
ing influence over Corea, involving her
right to control the administration of
the Hermit Kingdom use the littoral
for strategic purposes. set, was of 9
remarkable character. Indeed, the po-
sition taken BY Mr.. Witte was seilsa-
ltional iii the extreme His attitude re-
veals plainly the Russian tactics. They
propose to raise before the
world the spectre of the vel
low peri. Russia claims that Ja-
pan 4 present purpose Is to get 4 foot

ARSENIC PILL GIVEN
WITH EVERY DRINK

New Orleans, Aug, 14.-An arsenic
pill is served free with every drink at
the ST. Charles Hotel and several of
the saloons. This is due to the fact
that several doctors have decided that
arsenication prevents yellow fever. A
demand for an arsenic preparation very
soon exhausted the supply, and two or
three chemical firms have been work
ing night and day, turning out arsenic
pills.
