PEACE TERMS
Submitted by Japan to
Russia Not Accept
able to Latter.

Portsmouth, N. H.. Aug. TO-
Reimbursement for the expenses
sustained in the prosecution of
the war and the cession of the
Island of Sakhalin constitute the
main features of the peace con-
ditions handed by Baron Komura
to M. Witte at the conclusion of
the morning session of the pleni-
potentiaries in the general stores
building of the Portsmouth navy
yard.
The word indemnity" is care
fully averted, the term implied
being "reim bursement" for the
cost Of the war. No sum is fixed,
the amount being distinctly adj
iourned for mutual adjustment
between the two countries after
the Japanese expenditure has
been ascertained.
These are the two all important
conditions and those which the
Russian p1enipotentiaries find
absolutely unacceptable.
NOT AS A SURPRISE.
Unacceptable as they are, how
ever, it can be stated that these
two principle conditions did not
come as surprise to the Rus
sian plenipotentiaries. The
friendly fashion in which Baron
Komura explained the conditions
before handing them to M. Witte
and the avoidance of the use of
the word indemnity" in the
presentation of Japau's bill for
the cost of the war without fix
ing the sum, leave the way open
for negotiations and constitute
the main hope that a final agree
ment is possible. Certainly the
danger of sudden rupture, no
matter what the ultimate result
NAV be, is precluded by today's
Developments.

The reply of Ambassador
White is to be presented tomor-

a declination of the conditions,
which baron Komura has pre-
scented, but will be an invitation

Some of the terms are satisfac-

modified or eliminated if there is

seem then, nor at any time since,
TO have been afraid of work. or
much of anything else, for the
matter of that. After he had, by
dint OF hard saving and great self
denial, accumulated some funds he
made arrangements TO enter Ran

choice of the people fell upon him
for the Congress of the United

told you because it was but plain
justice to the man that the people
of the State, as well as they know
him and his works, should be re-
minded of what he has accomplish
ed. He is man of labor, constant,
unceasing labor, from his earliest
youth until today. Whatever he

industry and integrity. His life
as it stands today is we'll worth the
study of the youth of any com

ed contrast to that of the laboring
representative from the Fifth Dis

no crime Tin this country at least
to be born of a poor father. What
people in these United States care
for Is character. As yet, we have

come later, but YOU and / won't be

care of what money came to him.
And he has had care. Some
people say that it Is his greatest
care. That may be, in fact, was
true to his early youth. But now
that his heart has been fired with
an ambition TO be something more
that walking money-bag, his
