Hewett in North to Recover
 Sisters Remains

The mission in Alaska of the Hewett family, who are now giving series of entertainments at Elks' hall in this city, is not solely one that Is designed for the amusement and instruction ot the people of Alaska nor is 1t all for the purpose of addi1g lucre to the family treasury. There is more serious and much sadder purpose for their appear ance in the North. The Alaskan trip of Prof. Hewett is primarily for the purpose of recovering the remains Of a sister, Dr. Edith Chambers, whom it is believed, perished in the Alaskan inter- for of starvation.
 Dr. Chambers went to Dawson in 1900 from Chicago, and in the fall of that year she went to the Fortymile coun- try, down the Goodpaster river to the Tanaua and back to Dawson by way of the Yukon. She located some proper tS that she regarded as good. The fol- lowing year she started on a second trip to her locations. She left the For tymile country with the purpose in view of going down the Goodpaster riv- CT on a raft. She never has been seen since that time, though many traces have been found of the missing woman.
 Writings received from her indicate that her raft was wrecked on the Good paster river and she attempted to make her way across the country back to the Fortymile district A diary, covering the time from July I, 1901, to August 2, following, portions of the woman's wearing apparel, her pack, and letters written as late as October of 1901 have been recovered. One of the letters reques ed that if her body should be found that her husband ard children should h; notified. II is certain that she died of starvation.
 Many of the en-ries in thediary tell of the starving condition of the lost won- NuO " dS dtA LAOAlG AL cd wilderness. Once she said she had killed three birds since being wrecked. One of the letters said she had been three weeks without food.
 Most of the traces of Dr. Chambers wer. dis covered by William Shafer, 8 sergeant in the United States signal corps. who was hunting moose in the mountains of the Goodpaster coun- try. PrOSpectors and others have dis covered traces of the lost woman.
 It is to discover the body of his sister that Prof. Hewett is now in Alaska. He will remain in Alaska, he says, until he shall be rewarded with success. He has the diary and all the information that he has obtained from the several sources. He has core spondsd with Sergeant Shater, who gave him letters of introdution to others who can help him in the inter- iy. He believes he will be success ful.

stabblng ARRAY Among Italians at Rut
land,

Michael Ravena stabbed Joseph Volpi at
Centre Rutland Sunday night twice in the
back and once in the right arm. Volpi
says that Ravena stabbed him because
he had not invited Ravena to a christen-
ing, but Italian friends of both men say
that there has been bad blood between
the men ever since they were boys. They
are said to have belonged to antagonistic
secret societies in an interior province of
Italy Ravena sneaked up behind his en-
envy on a lonely road and plunged a knife
into him. The first thrust barely slashed
through a thick coat that Volpi was wear
ing, but the second sank several inches
into his back. a third nearly severed all
the muscles OF the right arm. After
Volpis wounds had been attended to, he
told the police his story. Late Monday
afternoon they located Ravena in his
home and took him into custody. Friends
Of both men in the Italian quarter of Cen
tire Rutland are worked up over the affair,
and it is feared that the stabbing may
lead to a feud between the followers of
the two men.

A st. Petersburg despatch says:
Fighting in the streets of Baku, which
on Saturday resulted in the death of so
persons, with many wounded, was re-
sumed on Sunday. On each day Tartars
desperately attacked the troops. The
former after the first disorders, sup
piled themselves with arms, and are now
almost as well equipped for street fight
ing as the troops. Private advices declare
of killed and wounded. Incendiary fires
have been started Latest reports, dating
only to Saturday evening, state that 1o1
buildings have been destroyed. The stu
alton not only at Baku, but throughout
the Caucasus, is extremely serious, after
weeks Of tension.

THE TREATY SIGNED
Fighting Between Japanese and
Russian Forces Ended
Soldiers VIII Remain In Field Until Treaty
is Ratified by soverelsns Of the TWO
Empires.


The treaty of peace between Japan and
Russia was formally signed by the rep
resentatives of the two empires at Ports
mouth Tuesday afternoon On the instant
that the announcement was made, 3.47
o'clock, a. salute of eighteen guns was
fired at the United States navy yard on
Kittery Point. AS soon as the firing was
heard all the church bells at Newcastle
and Kittery and Portsmouth were rung
while flags were hoisted and general sat
isfaction was manifested.
The signing of the treaty marks the
technical ending of the war. The armi-
stice now goes into effect and all danger
of any further fighting is past. The
armies will not be Withdrawn until the
treaty is ratified, but there is, by the SOW
ereigns of the two nations, not the slight
est doubt that it will be ratified wen
within the fifty days allotted for that pur-
pose and then there will be ample time
for the complete evacuation of Manchuria,
save for railroad guards, fifteen to the kill
ometre, within the prescribed eighteen
months from Tuesday.
Thus ends a war which began on Feb
s. 1904, which has been without precedent
in history for the unvarying and complete
character of the victories won by the tri
umphant nation, and which has done more
than most other wars to eXemplify the
various branches of the military art and
to readJuSt the balance OF the great
powers Of the world.
The synopsis of the treaty which is
given to the public, accords closely with
the forecasts which were made during
the progress of negotiations. 1t re-es-
tablishes peace between Japan and Rus
STA. 1t gives Japan a free hand in Corea,
but apparently does not, as was formerly
intimated, guarantee the independence of
that country; giving Japan, on the con-
trary, permission practically to annex 1t,
provided only that Russia is permitted to
enjoy therein the privileges Of the most
favored nation. 1t requires the evacuation
of N1anchuria by both beligerents. 1t
transfers to Japan the Russian lease of
Port Arthur and Dalny, apparently, how
ever, without consulting China in the
matter. 1t binds both parties not to him
der China's development Of Manchuria
under the open door rule-a marked
recession by Russia, which hitherto has
strenuously resisted such development.
1t divides the Manchurian railroad be-
tween Japan and Russia, and makes it a
purely commercial line instead of largely
military. 1t gives Japan the southern
part of Saghalien, and guarantees free
dom of navigation in both La Perouse
and Tartary straits. 1t promises Japan
fishing rights in Siberian waters and a
renewal of the commercial treaty with
Russia and it provides for payment by
each country of the cost of maintaining
its prisoners.

Ex-Gov. Smith Has Largest Private
Telescope In World.

Mr.. Lundin of the Alvin Clark COM
pany of Cambridgeport, Mass, has finish
ed the installation of the largest telescope
owned by a private owner in the world
in an ideal little observatory in ex-Gov
e. c. Smiths grounds at ST. Adams
The glass measures nine inches in diam
eter.
The lens is said to be the finest of it's
size in existence, and was loaned to the
Carnegie Institute at Washington for a
time. II was afterward loaned to Prof.
Hussey Of the Lick observatory, and was
carried by him to various points Of the
globe to locate the most favorable posi-
lions from which to observe so-called
double stars. Prof. Hussey used it with
much success in his work. The lens was
eventually turned over to the Alvan Clark
company, and Mr. Smith seized the
opportunity to become the owner of It.
The observatory is 16x16 feet in di-
mansions, and is located where it has an
advantageous field Of vision on three
sides. The glass, which is one of eX-
ceptional power and accuracy, will be
simply for the private uses Of Mr.. Smith
and his family.

The problem of federal printing is
shown by William S. Rossiter in the Sep
TENDER Atlantic to be a more difficult
and momentous one than most taX-pay-
ers know. Since 1900, the cost of fed
eral printing has increased from S20,322 to
$7,0S0,906. Mr.. Roissiter points out that
this tremendous increase is in part oc-
casioned by the costliness and the waste
Of the government printing Office as it is
onw conducted. Mr.. Rossiter, who is
chief clerk of the census bureau and eX-
pert special agent for printing and pub
fishing the twelfth census, writes of the
situation with special and accurate
knowledge He studies it both histori-
cally and comparatively with the eXpen-
ditures Of other governments. His sug-
gestions for reform are of interest to
every taxpayer, and will be considered
with special care and interest, no doubt,
by the authorities
