Witte Interviewed.

The Paris Matin published yesterday
an interview one of its correspondents
had with NJ. Witte. la it Witte explains
how the japanese made their volte face
in respect to their demand for an indem-
nifty. Witte said he noticed after his
arrival in the United States a sudden
change in American opinion in favor OF
Russia. and took into account the ad-
vantage which he might derive from
American popular opinion in attaining
the object he had in view.
In order 20 accentuate this movement
of opinion he resolved to yield quickly
on all demands OF Japan that appeared
lust, so as eventually to place the nego-
tistions on the sole basis of indemnity.
He was then able to vinoke principles OF
humanity, and leave with Japan the re-
sponsibility of shedding more blood tor
a question of money alone. The Amerl-
can press took tho same standpoint, and
reproached Japan for her want of dlsin-
terestedness.

cognizant of what was going on, and
warned him that his country need no
longer rely upon the support OF America
if she persisted in continuing the war on
the sole question of money.

made vote face.
Said Witte: "It was time indeed. On
two separate occasions | was advised by

VIII Not Grant Demands.

One of the biggest coal operators in
the Scranton, Pa, region, who has just
come from Philadelphia, where he had g
conference with President Baer, OF the
Reading, yesterday declared, unhesita-
tingly and for publication, that the
operators will not, under any considera
ton, grant the demand OF the mine
workers for an eight-hour day, and that
they propose to agree only that The pres
ent agreement shall be continued.
Announcement to this effect will bt
made. he said, after the miners hold
their convention in Shamokin, Deem

continued, "wopld be equivalent to Il
per cent. increase of the miners wages.
If we granted that it would be necessary
for us to raise the price of coal, and the
public would not stand for that. We
are willing, however, to readopt the
present agreement with the miners, per-
haps with some notifications tina! car
be mutually decided upon.
'I was speaking to President Baer the
other day. He said tiat nothing would
be done until the miners finally form1-
late their demands at the Shamokin con
ven,ion on December IA, and present
them to us for our consideration. The
operators will not entertain the eight
hour day proposition; that is a certainty.

Miss Roosevelt, Rear Admiral Train,
Senator and Mrs. Newlands, the Misses

Another Crisis

Another crisis has arisen in the nego-
tiations between France and Germany
relative to the Moroccan conference.
This has resulted in a suspension of the
meetings between DR.. Rosen and NJ.
Revolt, respectively the special plenipo-
tent;aries of Germany and France.
Their last meeting occurred three days
ago. and there is no present sign of the
resumption of their conferences. DR..
Roseu in the meantime is seeking in
strnctions from Berlin, but the extended
delay begins to excite apprehension in
Official quarters that Germany will not
Weld upon points which France cOnsid-
ers essential. Both sides show anxiety
snd the strain promises to seriously al
feet the bouTse.
The foreign office, however, continues
to view the situation as being suseepu-
BILE of adjustment, and specifically denies
the alarmist report in French news,
paper that the German demands inciuot

AGAINST &c pueLIo INTEaEsr.
cvarzealous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.

Against Proprietary Medicines.
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
PARTIES. Every now and then some
Jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for law to require
every package of proprietary medi
cine to be labeled with a printed
statement of the formula, showing
lust how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with a mania for regulating
the affairs Of other people or who has
some personal Interest to serve is
the one who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider it, such a proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet 1t
is in fact nothing more nor less than
scheme to compel the manufacture
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to food the market with limitations of
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen-
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly 10
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors Without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired if
not wholly destroyed 1t is mainly by
judicous advertising that the knowl-
edge of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions of peo-
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use of
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising.
why, then, should the manufacturer
of merltorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition of
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean Exchange.

SEARCH FOR MISS TUCKER.
Young Woman Ran Into the Woods WheI
Persons Apr cached.

PoTsOUS Approached.
ROCHESTER. N. H.. Aug. 1.-The move
ments of Miss Mary A. Tucker Of Providence
stepsister Of President Faunce OF Brown
University who disappeared mysteriously
from Camp Ossipee a week ago to-day
have been traced up to last Saturday, when
she was in South Lebanon, Me.
On that day she was seen by several
persons going in the direction of Somers-
worth. N. H., and it ia believed she is now
somewhere between Dover and Exeter
Miss Tucker frustrated all efforts to detain
her by running into the woods. 1t Is feared
that she may have gone deep into the forest,
in which case II is doubtful il she il now
alive.
Several searching parties secured the
woods to-day without success, but as clear
weather Is promised tomorrow, consider
able more ground can be covered than under
the trying conditions of to-day. The
woman must have done considerable tramp
ing since she left Ossipee, as there is no
word Of her having taken any conveyance
since she began her wnnderings and she
undoubtedly walked the entire distance
Of sixty miles to East Lebanon.
II is believed she followed the railroad
highway when compelled to ask for food.
She was seen by number Of people along
the route, but always refused to enter
house or tell where she was going.
A special officer has been hired by the
Rev. D. W. Faunce to oversee the search
for his stepdaughter. DR.. and Mrs. Faunce
are now at Lynn with George Faunce,
son. They are exhausted by their efforts
to find Miss Tucker
