FAULTS OF THE MISTRESS.
Not Always as Considerable as She

The capable mistress is generally
the most considerate, and there is no
question but that she is the strongest
factor in the production of whatever

THE CRUM CASE SETTLED
The Nomination of the COlOred Col
 leCtor at Last Confirmed.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The nomina- tion of w. D. Crum. the negro, to be collector of customs for the port of Charleston, $. C., was confirmed by the senate in executive session today by a vote of 33 to r. Crum had been nominated by the president three times and had received three recess appointments. He is now serving un- der the last of the recess appointments.
 The confirmation was opposed by Senator Tillman, who objected to the appointment of a negro. Senator Till man made a speech devoted almost entirely to the question of constitu- tiopal right of the president to make a recess appointment when no actual recess had occurred. the senate having adjourned one session and begun an other at noon of the same day.
 The race issue played a very insig- nificant part in the debate, which was participated in by fully a dozen sena- tors

of the United States. His subject was "Watchmen, What. of the Night"
 After speaking of the causes which in part contributed to the recent de feat of the democratic party MT. Bryan said the platform adopted at Kansas City expressed the views of democrats rather than any platform adopted since. He praised several recommend ations made by President Roosevelt and spoke of him as doing many good things.
 MT. Bryan closed as follows: "Just now President Roosevelt gives promise of beginning a reform movement. He recommends legislation which will in form the public in regard to campaign contributions. This is a far reaching recommendation and should receive the earnest support of every democrat. He also recommends an enlargement of the scope of the interstate commerce law This, too, is a step in the right direction and he should receive the support of all democrats in any effort which he makes to bring the railroads under strict control.
 T. the president, with the aid of the democrats, accomplishes any reform, the public will secure the benefit of it; if he fails. the educational work which ne does Will neip IHe OeinOCIGtlc peiA U in future contests. In municipal af- fairs the democrats are. as they should be. quite unanimous in favor of the municipal ownership of all municipal franchises, and our party must face the fact that failure properly to regu- late the railroads will compel the pub lie ownership of railroads. If the federal government operates only the trunk lines, leaving the states to operate the net work of local lines, we can have public ownership without csentralization, and as I believe, with out danger to any public interests"
Arizona republican., 1905-01-07

St. Petersburg, Jan. G.-Regarding the peace talk abroad M. Souvorin, ed itor of the Novoe Vremya, in a signed article in that paper today passion ately declares that the voice of the nation should give an answer in order that the world might understand once for all Russia's position. The emper- or, he added, should consult with the representatives of the land as his pre- decessors did before the days of Ivan the Terrible. While the papers abroad now say that peace could be concluded without dishonor, if peace were made they would declare it disgraceful. What the peOTle want, M. Souvorin says, he can not affirm, but the idea of ending the war at this juncture is abhorrent to him, and, he believes, to the Russian people.
 If the inscriptions on the banners of the demonstrators and the action of some of the zemstvos in favor of peace represented the voice of the nation it would mean the collapse of al; of Russia's aspirations and a farewell to her position in the far east and her dreams of an open road to the sea and the creation of a yellow peril in Asia which would threaten civilization and mean Russia's retirement into her Muscovite shell and her disappearance from the stage of this great power. The army, M. Souvorin further says, holds the honor and fate of Russia in it's hands. M. Souvorin then re- views sorrowfully the record of bitter humiliations suffered thus Tar and the chances for the future In con- cluding ne declares that the govern ment must decide and weigh well the consequences, but the editor insists that the people must be united, as . "disunion, riots and revolution mean the downfall of the fatherland."

NO THOUGHT OF PEACE.
Both Russia and Japan Will Fight All
 the Harder.

Washington, Jan 6.-Japan has made no overtures for peace to Rus sa, directly or indirectly, through the United States Or. any other power and contemplates no such action, and nov that Port Arthur has fallen, purposes to press the war in the north all the more vigorously by reinforcing the Japanese armies at Liao Yang with the greater part of the troops which have been besieging Port Arthur. This. in brief, represents the views of MT. Takahira, the Japanese minister.
 ''The fall of Port Arthur" said the minister, ''is but a step in the war which Japan is waging for a principle. Certainly it is an important step, but nothing could be further from the truth than that the assumption be- cause Japan has captured a strong hold. the fall of which has long been expected, the Japanese government will now make overtures for p5ace. Japan is too busy fighting. We are as much in earnest today as We were at the outset of the war. We have made no overtures for peace, either directly or indirectly, nor have the powers approached us with any idea of intervention"
 At the Russian embassy it was re- lterated that Russia would fight all the harder in view of the temporary loss of Port Arthur Europe, it is learned, is firmly of the conviction that, however dark the outlook for peace at this moment, when the pros poets brighten it is to President Roose- welt that the neutrals as well as the belligerents will look as the interme- diary through whom peace negotia- lions will he initiated EIrOpeaY1 ambassador said today that the Amer ican government is practically the only government to which both bel hgerents will be willing to look for assistance in reaching a settlement when the time comes and, aside from this fact, the great personal regard in which the president is held both at St. Petersburg and Tokio makes 1t all the more probable that through him, when Russia and Japan have fought their fight, the powers must hope for peace.
