Now Apparently Awaiting
Word From Toxic.

Portsmouth, Aug. 28.-The Associa-
ted Press has definite knowledge that
several days ago President Roosevelt
was authorized on behalf of Japan to
waive all claim for indemnity or reim-
bursement for the cost of the war and
to cede back TO Russia the north half
of Sakhalin island. leaving the re
demption" price of the same 10 the ar
bitration Of a mixed commission.
Was Meyers Mission.
This statement was transmitted TO
the Russian emperor through Ameri-
can Ambassador Meyer. The Associa-
ted Press telegram announced the
cZar's reply was partially responsive" ."
There is reason to believe this prop
osition on behalf of Japan was not
clearly understood at Peterhof. 1t is
now not improbable. following the
precedent OF Great Britain. Japan will
agree TO submit the question of the re-
demption price of Sakhalin as the Dog
ger bank trouble was adjusted.
Theirs In Fact.
The japanese contention is Sakha-
lin island is de facto Japanese terri
tory. and that Russia has no means at
her command for it's present recovery.
II is understood Witte has accepted
this view In principle, and expressed
the judgment that Russia should pay
something in the nature of redemption
money. II is believed the Toxic coun-
Gil session this morning is considering
this nbaSa of the question
Not On Either Question.
II lis now learned that the confer
ence between Witte and Takahira last
evening did not bear upon the ques-
tions of cession of Sakhalin or of in
demnity.
Postpone Meeting.
Portsmouth. y, H. Aug 2S.-At 10
o'clock last night. after a two hours
conference between Mr. Takahira and
Mr.. Witte, in the latters room in the
hotel annex, the announcement of a
postponement was made MIR. Witte
explained that Mr. Takahira had told
him that no new instructions had
reached him from Toxic. and fearing
that none might be received before the
meeting scheduled for this afternoon,
he had suggested the propriety OF
postponing the meeting until Tuesday.
To this Mr.. Witte said he had readily
assented. Mr. Takahira made the fol
lowing statement.
"Inasmuch as this conference was
initiated by the friendly offices OF your
president. after consultation we fel.
that we should be cautious about ter
minatinE IFS labOrS"
Pressed as TO whether he regarded
the situation as hopeless. Mr.. Taxa

Refused to Enioin.

Vice Chancellor Grey refused to give
ex-Judge Carrow and Lawyer William J.
Kraft an order restraining the Pennsylvan
la Railroad Company from building re-
tanning walls for its elevated road along
Theodore Schneider's property on the
northeast corner OF Haddon and Bridge
avenues, Camden.
Application was made on behalf of Mr..
Schneider by petition, alleging that the
railroad company was erecting a wall
which would shut off all light and air to
his hotel property facing the railroad and
that the railroad company was using the
open space adjoining the property, north
of the railroad tracks, which for more thar
fifty years has been used by the public in
general as passageway for pedestrians
and continuation of Bridge avenue.
The Vice Chancellor, in refusing the
restraint, held that Mr.. Schneider's right
to an easement of light and air over the
open space would first have to be estab
lished by suit at law and, secondly, ht
would not. in this case, enjoin the con
struction of the great public improvement
without giving the railroad company an
opportunity to be heard

STORIES about the slowness of Philadel-
phia have frequently been published. but
the opinion has been that they were more
for sport than with any serious intention,
but one that has just been given light
seems to indicate that the old town is not
real swift. According to city paper "a
pleasant and patriotic feature to be intro
duced in the public schools of Philadel-
phia is 'salutiDg the flag, which will con-
sist in waving the American flag and re-
peating words of veneration for old
Glory" And this in the home of the
Stars aud Stripes, where a building is
pointed out as the place where Betsey
Ross made the first flag Burlington
county has been practicing this 'saluting'
for years and the school children of Mount
Holly have the custom down to system.
1t is bad enough for Philadelphia to be
thus far behind the times, but Camden
paper, speaking of the proposed innova-
tion thinks it would be nice for the Jersey
city to adopt it. Well. Camden is SO
close to Philadelphia it, too, has
become somewhat slow.

In all the twelve years that Professor
Hugo r. Meyer has been gathering mate
rial for his Government Regulation of
Railway Rates" just published by the
Macmillan Company, there has been no
moment when its appearance would have
been so timely or when it would have at
tracted so much attention as at present
On the eve of the assembling of a Con-
gress that is likely to give large part of
its attention to the question of railway
rate legislation, and at a time when the
whole country is discussing the subject,
straightforward statement of the effects
of government regulation in foreign
countries and an intelligent application
of the conclusions deduced from these
results to the transportation situation in
the United States is greatly needed. This
is what Professor Meyers volume af-
fords, and for this reason it will be well
coined by legislators and men of affairs
as eagerly as by the students of economic
questions to whom such work ordinari-
ly appeals.

JUDGE GAsKILL rendered two decisions
in his court last week, both of which were
correct in the present issue. One will be
good for all time, and the other will pos
sibly not be wise to take as precedent.
An application had been filed for license
to continue keeping hotel. Somebody
wrote letter to Prosecutor Atkinson al
leging acts which. if proven, would have
been sufficient cause to refuse the appli-
cation. But the writer was lacking in
courage to give his name even to the state
officer who would have kept 1t contiden-
tial. The court, however, took cogni-
zance OF the matter and suggested that
the Prosecutor look into the charges
Without anything tangible to work upon
the investigation was of no avail. The
court granted the license The person
who claimed to have had evidence suffi-
Gent to close what he or she considered a
very dangerous place, will now probably
blame the court for not acting upon the
anonymous information. There is a way
to get at those matters well known to all
.Remonstrances may be presented or the
aid of the grand jury may be invoked
But in both of these instances it is neces-
sary for some one to take stand and
make known their identity. That is where
courage is required, and tits singular
fact that there is in every community
plenty of people who are perfectly willing
to have the law enforced and wrongdoers
punished provided some one besides them
selves is willing to bear the burden of the
act. The second case was that of an ap
plieant for wholesale liquor license The
applicant was one of the strictest law
abiding men in the business. He claimed
to have sent his papers by mail and in
this he was supported by the statement of
his postmaster Under the circumstances
the license was renewed and while it was
all right in this instance it would not do
to make the act precedent. In such
cases there is a custom as we'll as a law.
Applications must be filed on the first
day of the court and it is the duty of the
applicant to attend to that part of the
work. If he cannot come in person he
should send the paper by trusted mes
senger, or if the mails are used the pack
age could be registered so that it could be
receipted for if delivered and traced if
lost. If the action of week ago were to
hold for all time it would open a wide
door for some who would evade scrutiny
and objection by following the usual Gus
tom. In granting these two licenses,
however, Judge Gaskill made it plain that
the results were made to especially fit them
and not to apply in general

ONLY three more weeks in the present
campaign. What are you doing for the
success of our ticket There is a great
amount of indifference displayed and un-
less the people are awakened the result
may not be pleasing. Get to work. Talk
to your neighbor and tell him to pass tn e
word along. We do not want to lose this
election and you would feel very badly
about it if such result ensued, due en-
tirely to apathy, for that is about all that
will bring defeat.
