BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Charles G..
Moore of Colorado, for ten years a
clerk in the postoffice department, has
confessed to taking railroad tickets
from letters in the dead letter office
and has been dismissed.
Besides taking railroad tickets Moore
also is accused of taking foreign
stamps from letters and selling them.
He was in charge of the minor
branch Of the dead letter office and
received a salary OF $14oo year. Many
letters which reach the dead letter
office contain railroad tickets. These
are kept on file for certain time and
then destroyed. In his confession

WILLAMETTE VALLEY
SUFFERING FROM FIRES
Forest Conflagrations lnfict Serious
Loss Around Albany, Eugene
City and Grants Pass

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Sept. 2.-Reports from
the Willamette valley points are to the
erect that heavy damage is being oc-
casioned by forest fires. In addition to
the two reports yesterday from the
neighborhood of Albany, which have
destroyed several farm houses as well
as much timber, there are fires to the
east of and west of Eugene which bid
fair to infict heavy losses unless they
are put under control at once.
Fires are numerous in the Grants
Pass district, but so far have caused
small loss as they have been confined
to brush slashings or second growth
trees.
Albany and Eugene are covered with
a pail of dense smoke.

time tens of thousands of Russian

country at the moment of awakening

The hope was expressed that the
peace would be lasting and .satisfac-

here is that the ending of the eighteen

PORTSMOUTH. N. H, Sept. 2.-The

and Japanese plenipotentiaries which
ended at II o'clock tonight. AS the plen-
ipotentiaries emerged from NJ. Whites
room Baron de Rosen was asked if a
final agreement had been reached. He
did not answer. "Will there be a meet

There is no necessity for one; the
clerks can DO the rest"
The articles relating to the non-forti-
fication of the island of Sakhalin and

of Manchuria were settled. Both par

and Japan agrees not to erect works to

The article relating to the evacuation
of Manchuria provides that the troops
Immediately upon the exchange of final
ratifcations, are to be withdrawn re-
spectively to the lines of Mukden and
Harbin.
The number of railway guards in
ordinary times is limited, but provision
is made for the dispatch of troops for
the protection of the line in case of
disorders, upon condition that they are
Immediately withdrawn when their
mission is finished. There are said to
be four "annexes" to the treaty cover
ing matters which could not be elabor-
ated in the treaty itself.
No Word Comes From Japan
The interruption of communication
with Japan may delay slightly the
signing of the treaty. The Associated
Press can state definitely that nc
messages have reached the japanese
ENJOYS for four days, and they are now
proceeding under their general instruc'
tions.
A cable has been received from the
Japanese consul at Hongkong saying
that he could not tell when commune
cation would be restored. The typhoor
which interrupted communication was
very severe, but it is not known
whether it affected both the land and
submarine lines.
Baron Komura has not yet decided
whether, upon the engrossment of the
treaty he will assume the responsi-
bility of signing it without direct
authorization. If he does not, however
the delay would be only matter of two
or three days, as a special steamer
could go from Shanghai to Nagasaki ii
fifty hours.
The Japanese say the emperor:
failure to send a message of thanks tc
President Roosevelt is undoubtedly due
to the interruption.

One woman was fatally injured and

That the forty passengers on the

the cars left the track, the engine and
tender remaining on the rails. The
baggage car rolled down the long and
steep embankment, turning over and

standing on the wheels. The smoker
went only part way down the bank,
turning over but once, and the follow
ing coach did not go SO far from the
tracks, being held in place by a tele-

AS soon as word of the wreck
reached Johnstown a special train was
made up and hurried to the scene.

in two hours after the wreck occurred
the injured were being cared for in

graphed Commander Bostick to take
his naval brigade to the state border.
Immediately on receipt Of the order
Commander Bostick dispatched two
squads Of men on the oyster commits
sion schooner Majestic. lying In Bayou
Ht. John and which had already been
placed In commission. and prepared
for the journey. Fifty men were sent
out.
The Majestic Is only one of five yes
sells which will be used by the naval
brigade. Two other schooners and
two launches will also be used. The
men are going fully armed and accou-
tered and prepared for q stay Of some
length.
Captain Bostick said he could not
tell how many men would be sent out
in all, nor when he himself would go
to the front. but he would remain In
the city until all the vessels had been
equipped and manned and had left.
The first destination Of the naval
brigade Is the Rigolets. from which
place they will disembark to cover all
points In the Louisiana coast.
No physical clash has been reported
between the armed forces Of Louisiana
and Mississippi and there Is an In
creasing likelihood that good judg.
ment will prevail and that hereafter
there will be no trespassing by the
people of either state on the pre-
