Russia s Stubbornness
Exasperates Roosevelt

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 26.-When Presi-
dent Roosevelt first broached the sub
5oct of indemnity to the Russian pleni-
potentiaries. they drew themselves up
with great dignity and exclaimed:
Never. Russia Is too great TO ever
pay indemnity. for she is too great TO
admit defeat
TO the suggestion that the island of
Sakhalln might be ceded to Japan as i
part OF the cost of war, the Russians
cried:
Russia never has ceded territory and
never will.
But she ceded away territory after
the Crimea2 war" retorted the Presi-
dent.
.Ah. but that was an entirely differ
ent case" they replied.
But Japan has the island now, has
she not?" the President is said to have
asked.
Yes" admitted the Russians.
And you have no navy at present that
could by any fortunate feat of arms re-
take the island. and will probably not
have such a navy within a generation -
No they were forced to admit
Tell me how you expect to regain the
island from Japan" the President de-
manded.

The Russians We're not very clear as

President Not So Hopeful.
1t may be said that the President Is
still hopeful OF bringing the envoys 10
an agreeable understanding, but he is
not nearly as optimistic as ne was a

Shops Visited.

All of the gun shops were visited and
the foremen of several shops took par
ticular pains that the cadets were shown
the most important features OF their
shops.
The model tank, where models of the
different ships Of the navy are tried
before the ships are built. proved a big
attraction with the cadets, and the mid
dies also spent much of their time In
the navy yard museum. where many
relics OF the civil and Spanish war are
kept
Ia the afternoon. after the midship-
men had spent quite little while in
the yard. they were given shore leave"
and they all changed from their white
duck uniforms 10 the fatigue uniforms
and came into the city TO view the
places OF interest and visit friends. The
fatigue uniform IS OF dark blue and the
cadets are ali manly young fellows, and
they attracted much attention.

DURING the past week the man
utacturers of proprietary medi-
clnes have besieged the editors of
North Dakota papers to use their
influence against the passage of
the bill introduced by Represent
alive Sweet which specifies that if
such ingredients as morphine, al
cohol, etc., are used in excess of
5 per cent it must be published
on the label of the remedy. The
companies say that if the bill be-
comes a law they will have to cam
eel all of their advertising con-
tracts in the various papers of the
state and cease to do business in
North Dakota. So far as the
advertising contracts are con-
cerned, we are perfectly willing
they should cancel any they have
with the PRESS when they so de-
sire; but we cannot see how the
passage of the Sweet bill will in
Jure the manufacturer of an hon
est remedy. Prof. Laid of the
North Dakota Agricultural COL
iege, says the measure is in the
interest of the people and that it
will not prevent the sale of reli-
able remedies in the state, and we
believe he knows.

A Homestead Of $40 Acres.

Congressman Dixon of Montan;
writes the Miles City Independent a!
follows:
Dear Sir:-At the last session OF con
gress We passed a special act amending
the present homestead laws, applicable
only to the western portion of Nebraska
which is in the arid region, making the
homestead unit $40 acres instead OF I6e
as provided, under the general law
That law provided that the secretar,
of the interior, through the reclamation
bureau, should first segregate all lands
within the area covered by the bill tina,
could possibly be irrigated either by
private or government enterprise, and
that the remaining lands which are and
would be permanently grazing lands
should be subject to a new homestead
entry of $40 acres.
The public lands committee OF the
house, in reporting the bill, acted under
the belief that a person might establish
a legitimate homestead with that amour,
of grazing lands upon which he nigh,
establish a permanent home. We be,
lieved that putting the purely grazing
lands in the arid region under private
ownership would establish a large mum
Der of small stock raising farmers, and
in s%eggregating the purely grazing land:
into individual private ownership nigh,
to a certain extent solve the question OF
protection and permanency of the
grazing lands in the west.
At that time was somewhat skeptica'
Of the wisdom of the course, but the
reports that come from western Nebras
ka, where the bill went into effect las
spring, are SO universally favorable thai
| have become converted to the ides
that it would be a good thing for Mon
tana. | have introduced in the house
a bill, based to a large extent upon the
one passed last spring, applicable to the
state of Montana. have added to il
the provision that final patent shoulc
not be issued until five years after the
entry has been made, so as to guard
against speculative entries and to insure
the lands getting into actual owners
hands, and to men who would make
their permanent homes upon it.
The passage of the bill, in my opinion
will mean such a changed condition
in the stock country of Montana, thai
before finally enlisting in the war fol
its passage, thought best to send Out
copies Of the bill to different men ir
Montana who are familiar with the
situation and who are interested in the
settlement and upbuilding of the state
| realize that in multitude of counse
there is always safety. If you are inter
ested in the matter I should be glad te
have an expression of your views.
herewith enclose copy of the bill.

THOSE who have taken note of
how little the people really have
to say in the affairs of political
convention, are certainly anxious
to see a primary election law tried
in North Dakota, and from pres
ent indications they will have a
chance at the election of 1906.
The PRESS believes that the prim-
airy election bill which passed the
senate last week should be
amended in several respects, but
some of its advocates say that a
poor law is better than no law at
all and that it will be a step in the
right direction. In other words,
they fear that if they attempt to
amend the present bill before the
Legislature, that it will be weighted
down with amendments and
killed.

Doinqs at Bismarck.

Representative Martin has introduced
a bill fixing dates for holding terms of
court in Billings county the third Tues
day in April and the first Tuesday l n
October.
The Fargo Call says: Representative
Phelan of Stark, who introduced H. B.
80, regulating the duties of the railway
commissioners, stated that a report had
reached him to the effect that certain
men are making the assertion that the
expense of conducting the business OF
the board of railway commissioners was
greater during the time he was secre-
tary than for the past six years. He
stated that this was not true, and if it
were, the commission saved to the people
of the state over half a million dollars in
reduction of rates, ETC., and maintained
an office and office hours, whereas DUR
ing the past six years the commission
has done absolutely no work, no reports
were filed which were less than two
years old, and no report Of the work Of
the board has been made for two years.
Mr.. Phelan stated that he was opposed
to graft whenever and wherever he
found it, and he considered the board
as conducted for six years past, as a
mere graft. Mr.. Phelan's bill No. 80
fixes the pay of the commissioners at
S. per day for time actually spent in the
work with a limit Of $500 per year for
each commissioner and $500 for each
commissioners travelling expenses, and
$500 for Office expenses. 1t cuts out
periodical inspection trips and special
trains unless complaints in hand or
evidence warrants the expense of such
a trip. 1t also requires the secretary to
reside in the capital city and maintain
an office and regular office hours at a
salary of $1,000. The measure will IN.
doubtedly pass, both houses.
The primary election bill passed the
senate last Thursday by a vote of "a to
4. Those voting against the measure
were: Gulack, Mclean, Simpson and
Voss. Garnett and Johnson were alb
] sent.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly Of vowels, with a few onso-
nants put in to vary the m~onotony.
And the beauty Of the system is that
there is no waste. Every vowel is pro-
nounced. For instance, when the
American eye winks at the appearance
Of the simple word "naauao," the GLIB
native rolls out the five syllables with
neatness and dispatch. This means
"enlighten." Double vowels are very
frequent, but never a diphthong. Three
vowels are not uncommon, and, as
above, four and sometimes more are
found u~nseparated by consonants. In
the mouth Of the uneducated native
the language is apt to be explosive,
but the higher classes speak it with a
fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the italian. In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow of the CONT
mental European language, for the
vowels all have the French quality,
and the accents are not dissimilar.

The passage in the house of the

vote, means that Co. K will have
a $4,000 home on Hannaford
street the coming summer. The
company owns lots on this street
and with the state aid, in the
nature of a permanent loan, they
can erect a modern building for
armory purposes, and fit it with
gymnasium, reading and bath
rooms. The local militia COM

manner that will not only be a
credit to themselves but to the

A FEW weeks ago Editor R. M.
Tuttle sold his interest in the
Wacht am Missouri, a German
paper Published at New Salem,
and now that paper is very indig-
nant and heaps abuse upon Mr..
futile since he took his departure
from the state. The Mandan Re-
publican and the New Salem
Herald have also had something
to say about the transfer of prop
erty, using duplicate editorials
last week. Mr.. Tuttle and his
friends founded the Yacht am
Missouri several years ago, and
just why so much should be said
about the recent transfer is not
apparent on the surface.
