THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST
Progress Of Peace Negotiations Be-
tween Russia and Japan-Foreign
and Domestic Items Of Interest
Told in Brief,
RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR

RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR.
NJ. Sergius Witte. Russia's chief plen-
ipotentiary to the peace negotiations, ar
rived in New York and issued an address
praising the American people, but show.
Ing no optimism over the meeting with
the Japanese ENJOYS. Members of Nj.
Whites party, while speaking guardedly
concerning the coming negotiations, say
their business first is to secure Japan's
terms, after which it will be determined
whether there is any basis for q fur
Their parley.
In reply to an appeal from the
clergy of Orenburg not to conclude a
shameful peace, the car says: THE
Russian people can rely on me. Never
will conclude shameful peace or
one unworthy Of great Russia"
NJ. Witte,it is declared, lis clothed with
complete authority by the car to con-
duct the peace negotiations with the
Japanese ENJOYS at Portsmouth, N. H.
The czar is reported to be against peace
cessation of territory or indemnity.
Diplomats regard the peace outcome as
uncertain; Russia fears that Japan's
terms will be too exacting and humiliat-
ing. and Japan doubts good faith of the
czar's representatives; armistice and
Sakhalin as issues. Roosevelt is to avoid
precedence entanglements.
Russia, her friends say, is unalterably
opposed to ceding Sakhalien to Japan,
and hitch in the conference is expected.
Japanese announce that the Russian
forces on Sakhalin island were routed
after hard fight.
Japanese forces in Manchuria are
concentrating to the eastward of
khersd with the aim of getting be-
tween Vladivostok and the Russian
army
Fearing bombardment by the Jap
anese, the commandant of Vladivostok
has ordered all able-bodied citizens to
make ready to fight fire and protect
property.
Japanese troops on Sakhalin island
killed 200 Russians in battle and cap
tured 500 more out of total opposing
force of 800.
Gen. Linevitch telegraphs St. Peters
burg denying he has been surrounded
and declaring that all his troops are
we'll arranged.

NORWAY

Many Norwegians are in favor of
giving this years Nobel peace prize
to King Osca:..
Many Swedes claim that the Nor
wegians disgraced. themselves by the
revolution" of June Z. Bjornson an
nounces that he wishes to be dis
graced with the rest of his country
men on that score. But he adds that
the Norwegians and the balance of
the world take a different view from
that held by a: certain class of
Swedes.
1t is predicted that the protective
policy of the present storting will be
an aid to the Socialistic agitators dur
ing the next campaign.
The people of Kristiania behave so
remarkably well after the ''revolu-
ton of June 7th' that the patrolmen
actually find their business tedious
one. The sense of increased respon-
sibility has made the people more
careful in every way.
Prof. Bornhak, a, German authority
on international law, holds that King
Oscar is in fact no longer king Of
Norway. But he may call himself
king of Norway as much las he
pleases. On the coins of Austria
Kaiser Franz Joseph is called king
of Lombardie and Venetia, and the
car of Russia is styled, hereditary
prince of Norway. /.
Tho ~ Co11r o~>l
the Flataasen forests, in Elverum
have been sold to the ,Gravbergskoven
stock company for $4,000. " ! !
Premier Nicholson said to Swed-
ish journalist that, the Norwegians
actually wish to have a .Bernadotte
prince on the Norwegian throne.
When the Swedish newspapers say
something unpleasant, about the Nor
wegians, the Norwegian papers will
be sure to make the most of it, and
this policy on the part Of the Nor
Wegian leaders no doubt tends to
keep the Norwegians united on the
question Of independence. ct W.
i Rev. p. D. Hofflund, chaplain at the
Trondhjem hospital: and the Thomas
Angel institutions, is the oldest. Ger-
gyman in active service in Norway,
having been born in 1920. He is to
retire from public life Oct. l. ii. +.
One great feature of the union con-
troversy at this moment is the fact
that the Norwegian storting, by 4
unanimous vote, resolved to set aside
Sunday, Aug. 10, for taking gem
yeral vote on the question Of dissolv-
ing the union. This step was taken
at the request Of the Swedish riks-
dag, and for that reason it IS pleas
ing to the. Swedes. :.=Zz !. 55z.

Fun at the Fair.

Hamline.-''TheP Pike will be one
Of the features Of the Minnesota state
fair this year. Like everything else at
the coming fair the ''pile" will be
much improved. 1t will be the liveli-
est place on the grounds; there will be
something doing every minute.
One Of the results of the recent trip
OF President Cosgrove and Secretary
Randall of the fair into North Dakota,
will be the increase in the exhibit Of
marketable stock in car load lots.
This is new feature of the Minnesota
state fair and the officers were plea
sanity surprized when they got out i'm
to the cattle country to find much in
terest and probability of good entries
for these prize. The car lot premiums
cover CATTLE. sheep and swine and in
addition to the offers made by the
state agricultural society there are
several special prizes given by the live
stock men of South St Paul.

ROADS COMBINE,
SAY SHIPPERS
INDEPENDENCE HOPED FOR
SALT LAKE
MAY sTlFLE COMPETITION
Citrus Fruit Experts Not Pleased
With Arrangement Made by
Southern Pacific and
Clark Line

Citrus fruit shippers who annually
pay an aggregate of $1o,OOO,OOO to the
railroads, shook their heads yesterday
when they learned that the Southern
Pacific and the salt Lake had come to
an amicable agreement over switching
and terminal charges and said com
bine."
1t has been the hope Of the managers
of the larger companies that the con-
ference which was called in San Fran
cisco Monday would break UP without
having accomplished its purpose. Their
belief Is that had the past past con-
ditions continued to exist, there would
have been competition, which would
have meant better service and faster
time to the eastern markets.
"This understanding between the
Southern Pacific and the Salt Lake
simply means the sitting of compe-
tition," said one of the prominent Off
GERS of the Southern California Fruit
exchange yesterday. The speaker was
one of the best informed men on rail-
road affairs in Los Angeles. and per-
sonally sees to the shipping of over
ffty-fve per cent of the entire output
of the citrus fruit belt.
The citrus fruit trade is one Of the
pivotal questions upon which the dis
pute between the Southern Pacific and
the Clark road has rested.
Hoped for Independent Line
"Although not desirous of seeing a
railroad war, we should have much
preferred to see the Salt Lake stand
entirely independent of the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe," he con-
tinued.
1--WE favor the Salt Lake road. 1t
has the capacity to get out fruit to
the eastern markets in satisfactory
time. I am afraid, however, that in
the terms of the present agreement one
Of the clauses provides for the Clark
road making time which shall not
be lower that that which can be made
by the Southern Pacific. The Salt Lake
is in a position to gain a large per-
centage of the fruit business, as in ad-
dition to it's shortness, it is possible tc
ship fruit over it the entire twelve
months of the year.
at is true that the Clark road has
only six packing houses along its righ
of way, and under the conditions exist
ing until yesterday, would not have
been able to have tapped those bull
on other lines, but believe that if we
had demanded that our fruit should &C
over the new route we could have OBJ
tanned our wish"
Salt Lake officials say the road is
now well prepared to handle the citrus
fruit trade which will come to it. The
road has contracts with the Armours
calling for 5000 refrigerator cars, and an
icing plant has been built at Las Vegas.
