NO COMPROMISE.
Nipponese Press Denounces Proposed
Division OF Sakhalin Island.

Toxic. Aug. 2S.-The proposal that
Sakhalin be divided between Russia
and Japan is exciting strong popular
opposition here. and 1t is predicted that
such an acceptance will result in DEM
onstrations against the government The
Nichi Nichi declares:
Peace under such circumstances
would be imperfect. Peace must be
concluded. Since the island was re-
covered at the point of the sword there
is no room to entertain the proposal for
partial surrender of 1t.
"Should our government try to con-
clude peace in the presence of SO many
obstacles effecting lasting settlement
result would be only temporary cessa-
ton of hostilities. for which we would
hold our authorities responsible and
unhesitatingly blame them.
Japan shall adhere to her demands
with reference to the payment Of in
demnity and the cession of territory"
| The Hochi Shimbun expresses sur
prise that the proposal to divide Sakha-
1 lin was made. and says the proposal
verges on the absurd.
The Maihichi says:
eff the reported proposal to divide
Sakhalin is true It is a most grave
and serious danger to our country. 1t
will be impossible to entertain 1t as 1t
would only serve to sow the seeds OF
further dangers and complications. Let
| us stop the peace negotiations 10 the
proposal is seriously made"

find neighbors much more kindly and

know OF many ways Of speculation to
get money without doing anything for

and 1t is to be hoped that they never
will learn how to speculate.

criticises Modern Dress.
zone of the features of our habits
today is our dress. It seems as If peo-
pie nowadays live for dress rather than
to help their fellow man. This is also
another feature which prevents the
working man and woman from attend
ing church.
"The poor woman can not dress like
the woman whose husband is wealthy.
In fact. some of our women go to ex-
tremes in their ideas Of dress. Charles
Wagner, the French writer, while visit
ing here on lecturing tour, declared
that when he visited an entertainment
which was largely attended by women
in evening dress he was compelled to
keep him eyd on the ceiling for fear
of shocking his modesty. Such as this
certainly is not the natural religion.

TWENTY-FIVE DROWN.
Two Children Abandoned by Parents
Who Scanned to be WeaIthy-sus-
picion Of Foul Play or Suicide Not
Supported by Any Evidence.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 2s.-The re-
sources of the Albany police are fo-
6cused this afternoon upon the appars
emily inexplicable abandonment of a
5-year-old boy and 6-months-old baby
at Ten Eyck hotel by couple who
registered there as John w. Rogers
and wife, San Francisco" There are
suggestions, but no evidence that the
couple have met with an accident or
foul play. or committed suicide. Pa
pers found among their effects indicate
instead the couple may have sailed
Saturday from New York on the
steamship Company.

vii, Soon Make Dirt Fly.

oyster Bay, Aug. 2s.-Theodore P.
Shonts, chairman of the isthnian can
al commission, was q dinner guest OF
President and Mrs. Roosevelt Saturday
night. He came to talk over with the
president some matters in connection
with the canal work.
chairman Shonts said in response to
INQUIRIES about the resignation Of SUI
perintendent Prescott Of the Panama
railroad that Mr.. Prescott had re-
signed presumably because of strict
ures made upon his conduct of the
road. He said Mr. Prescott had been
succeeded by Mr.. Bierd of the Rock
Island system, who is now en- route
to Panama to assume his new duties.
II have laid off all steam shovels. "
said Mr.. Shonts. until the railroad
tracks have been put into proper con-
dition for their use. I found when I
was on the isthmus at least six steam
shovels out of which the operators
were not getting to exceed 25 per cent
of efficiency. That condition could
not be allowed to go on, so we have
ordered all steam shovel work discon-
tinued for the present.
Will Get Enough Labor.
"we shall have no difficulty in get
ting all the labor we want. The SUI
perintendent who has charge ~ :
branch of the work has worked 75,-
900 men on single contract and he
says he could get 100000 blacks for
the work on the canal if so many We're
needed. The principal idea at present
is to provide quarters for the employ
es, to establish good sanitary condi-
tions and to arrange for the prompt
payment Of the men Once these pre-
liminaries are arranged we will begin
to make the dirt fly"

"as Christ would do"
"Then, brother, think we shall
have to seek our sustenance elsewhere.
Do you agree with me, Brother
white?" he continued, turning to a
pastor on the stool at his right.
II do." was the reply, so for their
next meal they went where they cou,i

And others went with them, and
that's why Norton, who had secured
the concession at the conference hall
in order to feed the clerics "as Christ
would feed them," has shut up shop
and has gone back to Marion, where
he has made good for several years
with his golden rule system. The res
taurant lasted just two days. and now
the conference management Is on the
lookout for somebody who will take
charge and manage 1t on a CONNER
cial basis.
There were many others than minis
ters at the conference, and the nom
clerics We're pretty we'll satisfied with
ham and mutton and beef, but habit
is stronger than forbearance. and the
pastoral mouths dropped pathetically,
as at each meal, even after asking
for it, they got no chicken.

MILLIONAIRE ATTACKS RICH.
N. o. Nelson Says New Religion Will
Abolish "Tainted' Money.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. aS.-1n his lay
sermon entitled Gle Needs No Other
Rosary Whose Thread Of Life Is
Strung With Beads of Love and
Thought before the Religio-Philo-
sophie Society at the Odeon yester-
day. N. o. Nelson, the st. Louis mill
lionaire philanthropist described the
twentieth century religion as
being the natural religion which
would cause all classes to mingle to-
gether in good fellowship.
The millionaire declared that with
the natural religion the country would
dispense with the navy and the money
used in maintaining it and the regular
army would be assigned to buying
homes for the poor of the country.
II want to say that the people of the
century must learn to love each other,
even though we be en- emies," contin-
ued Mr.. Nelson. "The religion of to-
day is ruled by promised favors. One
reason for this is that the rich Of the
country who should be the leaders of
the country, strive to make all that
can be made, instead of doing the good
deeds which should bt done.
Rich Should be Leaders.
persons who have attained wealth
or other worldly goods should become
the leaders of men, and as leaders they
should lead wisely. If this were the
case people would be more interested
in each other and the result would be
that the poor unfortunates who now
barely survive in our downtown dis
tricts would be given the necessaries
of life. 1t would also stop this crime
of having children going to work
mere drudgery-instead Of securing
an education, which is SO important in
this present day.
I'VE are often asked why the work
ngman does not atterd church 1t is
simply the distinction between classes
that prevents his going to church. Peo-
pie who don't mingle together in the
parlor can not mingle together in the
church.
IF everyone should live up to his
own ideals the world would be revolu-
tionized in one day.

Last night Randalls went back OF

began calling to a physician for help.
He was inNterrible pain and blotches
