WHITE oUTGENERALED HERE
Fisheries Concession Is of Earl Reaching
Importance.

st; Petersburg, Aug. 30.-A Russian
official in high standing is quoted to
this effect:
THE result attained at Ports
mouth kills Russia in the far east. Our
long years of effort and the expenditure
Of vast sums Of money are practically
lost from today. We give up Manchuria
and retain a useless icebound port. It
is very hard blow and will assuredly
effectually stop our growth in the far
east for years. maybe for generations,
description.
Take. for example, the fisheries
rights off the Siberian coast north of
Vladivostok. In some respects this is
the most serious and far-reaching con-
cession made by M. White; by some
it is considered the greatest mistake,
menacing even our ultimate retention
Of portions Of Siberia. 1t means that
the Japanese soon will become abso-
Lutte masters of this coast and in great
measure of the hinterland. We have
no people there and no means of pro-
lection against Japanese encroachment.
The Japanese will practically COLOMBO
this coast. - " #5,,... "r.'- r.

History Yet to Be Written.
Much interesting history behind the
conference remains to be written.
No one yet knows exactly what con-
siderations induced the Toxic govern
ment to waive all demands for cash.
While it is known that President
Roosevelt was continuing his labors to
the last, it is not possible to make any
definite statement as to whether at the
end he. advised Japan to forego entire
~ punitive demands. 1t can be stated,
however, on the authority Of the Jap
anese mission, that he was originally
of the opinion that Japan should not
demand indemnity, and it is, therefore,
possible that he may have urged this
view at Toxic when he found that
Russia was obdurate. In his commu-
nication to Emperor Nicholas, thru
Ambassador Meyer, last week, while
the Japanese were insisting on direct
remuneration for the cost Of the war,
it is known that he urged on the car
the expediency of accepting compro,,
mise by which the redemption price of
the north half Of Sagahlien should be
determined by some sort of impartial
hoard of

r1r. Bedickian's Lot of CuriOs.

Rev. s. V. Bediokian, pastor of the
Presby terian church at Washington
Vile, was in thiI city Tuesday. He
is a Syrian, a native of Armenia, and
grew to manhood in that ancient coun-
try.
+. Mr.. Bedickisn recently returned
from years sojourn in his native
land. He is great lover of ourios
especially those that relate to his own
country and for some years past he
has been the owner of one of the most
interesting collections to be found In
this section. On his return from Syria
he brought with him number Of
ourios that have augmented his fine
collection very much.
He had with him in this city yes
terday a musket OF foreign and prob.
ably ancient pattern that would have
filled modern gun dealer with won
use at present by the soldiers of that
country in their warfare with the
Turks. In general appearance it re-
sembles gun and that is about all
that can be said for it. 1t is a flint
lock and ramrod affair gaudily decor
ated. Although, as before stated, in
actual use Mr.. Bedickian stated that
the army of his country also possesses
guns of more modern type. Whether
the old Macedonian musket is to bo
put to use in pursuing cottontails is
not known. but Mr.. Bediokian's oh
ject in bringing the old piece to DAN
Vile yesterday was to find a gunsmith
to repair the flintlook. which was out
of order.
A large number of persons visit Mr..
Bedickian's s collection which includes
ancient swords, and other weapons.
Turkish pipes galore. old books and
curious carvings ;also coins that belong
to the time of Alexander the Great
and Julius Caesar.

Hunters Bag Few Rabbits.

Rabbit hunters were out in consid-
erable numbers yesterday. However,
whether due to the fact that rabbits
are scarce or that hunting co nditions
we're bad, good luck did not fall to the
lot of any of the hunters and OIL their
return empty game bags seemed TO g
the rule. Here and there lucky fell
low succeeded in popping over cot
ton tail, while a still more lucky gun
ner shot two, but this seemed to be
the limit.
The hunting conditions were bad
yesterday. The high wind prevailing
blew the leaves about covering up the
tracks and destroying the scent so that
the dogs work ed at big di.advautage
and about all the rabbits that were
shot were those that the hunter him
self started up. As to whether or not
rabbits are plentiful reports do not at
all agree and it is a little too early in
the season to determine the exact truth.
All hunters agree that at this season
the rabbits should be tile most plenti-
full in the vicinity of the cultivated
fields, Here hunters are restricted
very much by posted lands, which in
terferes with success. As the season
advances and snow appears the cot
tontails will seet the woods and wild
lands where the gunners have more
freedom. Hunting should then be at
tended with better success unless it be
a fact that rabbits this year are scat ce.

25Oth Anniversary of Jews.

There is to be much observance of
the 250th anniversary of the settle-
ment of the Jews in the United States.
The anniversary occurs in this year,
and the celebrations are to take place
on the Saturday and Sunday before
Thanksgiving day, and some on Thanks
giving day, in various cities of the
country. The Jewish churches and
the social, benevolent and literary
organizations are to cooperate to make
the anniversary memorable.
In the two and one-half centuries
t hat have elapsed since the first body
of Jews settled upon this continent
the pioneers of the race have been fol.
lowed by multitudes of their creed
seeking and finding religious liberty
and freedom of existence. The Jews
waxed prosperous and Influential on
this soil, and have made a record for
citizenship that Is unblemished and
which has demonstrated to the world.
not without decided effect, that the
Jew, if given a square deal, is bull
wark of civilization.

Great Demand for Brick.

The demand for brick at present. In
unprecedented. John Keim last even.
ing stated that throughout bis long
career as brick manufacturer he has
never known of so many inquiries at
this season. He could dispose Of mil
lions, whereas he has, only TOO. 600
brick on hand. which he has prospects
of getting rid Of near home.
The Milton yards are all depleted a.
arc also the yards of Shamokin valley
and other nearby localities.
Within couple OF days past Mr..
Keim has been called upon by wilkes.
Barre contractors. who hoped to in
duce him to part with the stock he
has on hand.
In brief there seems to be shortage
Of brick that may interfere to great
er or less extent with building plans
in this part of the state.
Meanwhile there is every induce.
rent for brick manufacturers to In !.
crease the capacity of their yards aud
push the manufacture Of brick to the
limit as long as the season lasts this
fall. Wilkes s-Barre contractors state
that even now they have sufficient
contracts on hand to occupy them for
year to come. To procure the brick
needed is the problem they are try.
ing to solve at present. hence their
visits to Danville.

MISS ELWIC
ELECTED TEACHER

The School Board held special
meeting Monday, at which Miss Sara
Wilson, teacher of the fourth grade of
the Third Ward. was transferred TO
the first primary school of the Fourth
Ward to fill the recently created vao-
anoy occupied at present by Miss
Tooey, pupil teacher. To fill the school
left open by the transferring of Miss
Wilson, Miss Lillian B. Helwig, OF
Elysburg, was elected a member of the
corps.
The choice of teachers was made.
after a great deal of discussion. Tho
first question to decide was whether
or not one of the two pupil teachers
elected should not be given the vacant
school in the Fourth Ward. It was
finally decided that it would be for
the best interest of the schools to per-
nit the pupil teachers to resume their
places as such and complete their six
months training and to elect an older
and experienced teacher to fill the eK-
listing vacancy.
In accordance with this view on
motion of Mr.. Orth Miss Wilson was
transferred to the primary sch ool of
the Fourth Ward at a salary of $43 per
month. 1t was explained that Miss
Wilson was favorable to the change.
To fill Miss Wilson's position Miss
Helwig was selected from several ap.
plicants. She was nominated by Mr..
Fischer and elected with nine votes.
She has Normal School education
has had uine years experience in
teaching and has high reoommenda-
tions. Her salary will be $40 per
month.
The teaching of music in the High
School seems to be unpopular with
some of the directors. The subject has
been up for discussion during several
meetings past. The matter was brought
to head last night by Mr.. Pursel.
who moved that music be abolished IN
the High School. Mr.. Fischer second
ed the motion. which failed to carry.
A division was called for which show
ed the following vote:
Yeas-Pursel. Fischer and Heiss.
Nsys--Adams, Orth. Burns. Werk-
heiser, Trumbower and Grone.

Mr.. johnson enters upon the Gener-
al Secretsryship here with twenty

WILL BUILD
BOWLING ALLEY

Ground will be broken today for a
bowling alley in Danville, a PROPOSE
tion alluded to in these columns some
weeks ago. Those who have the pro.
ject in hand are Achenbach and Moore
Of Bloomsbury, although it is averred
that there are Danville people inter.
ested.
The site selected for the alley is
formed by the lots abutting on East
MahoninR street between the Grone
building and R. W. Eggert's property
owned by Mrs. Eggert and Lydia B.
Grier, the latter of Brook lyn The
lease was executed during the present
week. Yesterday building permit
was issued by Borough Secretary Pat.
ton to Messrs. Achenbach and Moore
providing for the erection of build
ing ninety feet long and twepty-six
feet wide. The structure will be of
veneered brick.
Work of clearing off the ground was
begun yesterday afternoon. A large
apple tree AID several smaller trees
were cut down and every thing got in
readiness to excavate for the fnuuda-
tion of the walls. Mr.. Achenbach yes
terday stated that an effurt would be
made to have the whole building com.
pleted and ready for uso n two or
three weeks time. Fir,t Of all tie
fence along East MahonuG street will
be tom down aud removed to lie south
side Of the lot to shut off tbs upper
portion from the part occupi d by the
bowling alley. which will lie open to
the street. The effect no doubt will
be to change the appearance of the
spot and to make what was formerly
a quiet and generally deserted lucality
one of great life and activity. 1t is
certainly true that no more desirable
site for bowling alley could be found
in any town.
The width of the building-tW euty-
six feet-will provide space for three
alleys and afford an abundance of room
for spectators. Nothing but what is
new and modern will enter into the
equipment of the alleys.
