Hongkong. Sept. 6.--The Taft party

Of the viceroy, who, however. was i'll
and unable to be present. His repre-
sentative made a speech referring to
the friendly relations between the
Chinese nation and America. Secre-
tary Taft in his speech said that by
direction Of the president he was
pleased to note the friendly relations
of the two countries. The United
States did not want one foot or one
acre of the soil OF China. the secretary
said, and he thought the boycott of
American goods was an unreasonable
violation OF treaty rights and condi-
tons between the two countries. He
declared that he was glad the viceroy
had ordered the boycott stopped. The
party's trip to Canton has had an inn
mediate effect and 1t is believed that
within two weeks the boycott will end.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 5.-Dispatches
received by the ministry OF the interi-
or estimates that fifty persons were
killed during the lighting at Baku,
Caucasia, on Sept. 2, with relatively
large number of wounded, the MAORI
ty OF whom are Tartars.
No oificial account OF Sundays cas-
ualties, nor of the events of yesterday,
have been received, but private dis
patches report that corpses are lying
about the streets and that incendiary
fires have already destroyed Isl build
ings and are still in progress.
Both factions, after the former dis
orders, supplied themselves with arms
and they are now almost as well
equipped for street lighting as the
troops.
Situation ls Tense.
The situation, not only at Baku, but
also throughout the Caucasus, has
been exceedingly tense for weeks.
The disorders at Shusha had just
ceased when the street car strike at
Baku furnished the occasion for an
other outbreak.
The disorders commenced at about
5 p. m. on Sept. 2, the Armenians fir
ing first ON the soldiers ON board the
cars. Eight Mussulmans, three Ar
menians and one Russian were killed.
The encounters continued until
o'clock the nexe morning. During the
evening of Sept 8 firing recommended.
but no casualties were reported.
Advices from Baku say that the
firing again commenced Sunday, the
Tartars attacking the troops with
greater desperation. Thus far the
killed and wounded. according to adj
vices, exceed 200. A courier from
Nizierdous was wounded

an official source the Associated Press
Is informed that the treaty is COM
pleted. It consists Of preamble and
seventeen articles, the substance or
all OF which have been given in the
Associated Press dispatches. But
there were still differences about the
wording OF the protocol of the last
sitting, which must be signed before
the treaty itself can be signed. The
japanese presented protocol to
which the Russians took exception.
The differences, however, were expect
ed to be Strengthened before noon to-
day. and it seems quite possible the
treaty will be signed this afternoon.
Mr.. De Martens. who is extremely
anxious to get back to Russia, has
engaged passage on La Lorraine, sailed
for New York on Thursday, and leaves
here on Wednesday.
Stick on Phraseoloay.
The work or engrossing the peace
treaty has already begun, Mr. Rojest-
venslxy doing the, caligraphic work of
the French, and Mr.. Adashi of the
English text. Controversies over the
phraseology still continue and there
were several conferences yesterday
between Mr.. De Martens and Mr..
Dennison, differences before referred
for adjustment to the principals. The
japanese are proving great sticklers
for words. They cling tenaciously to
their ideas. Careful preparation and
methods have been the secret of their
successes on land and sea, and in
their diplomatic struggles at Ports
mouth the same qualities have been
displayed.
Wltte Anxious to Get Through.
Mr.. witte is extremely anxious to
have the treaty finished and signed at
the earliest moment to preclude the
possibility or pressure from the home
government upon minor points.
Especially at st. Petersburg there is
constant danger that instructions at
the last moment may come to try and
get this concession or that concession,
and thus bring only diplomatic discus
sion which might indefinitely prolong
the negotiations.
One Of the articles in the treaty
provides for the protection of private
rights and property acquired under
Russian control In South Sakhalin,
and in Dalny. Port Arthur and other
places In the Liaotung peninsula. The
Russian government has had
InnumerabIe Petitions
on this subject. Several Of them are
from Americans who hold concessions

synopsis Of the treaty viii be cabled
to the governments of the two conn-
tries, the actual text viii not be
known at Toxic Or st. Petersburg I'M

expected that to cable such long
document textuaIly would make ii
possible for an expert later, When The
text became public. to work out the

This is the real reason why both are

STATE WASH DAY

Especial to ',The Jersey City News.'')
SEA GIRT, July s, 1905.--Another
annual event which for many years has
been one of the August attractions for
summer people from Seabright to Bay
Head is this year doomed 70 take place
under different circumstances. The .sJer-
sey Wash Day which has been famous
for many years past-so many years
the memory of the oldest inhabitant here
cannot remember it having been omitted
-is to be held this year at a new place.
The SeaGirt Land Company, in an adj
vertisement in one of the local papers,
just published, has decreed that, on ac-
count of objections from the fast grow
ing summer colony here, the wash viii
have to be held at the inlet to Manas
guam River, instead of at Wreck Pond,
as in past years.
From time immemorial Jersey rustics
from all parts of the State within a ra
dius of 100 miles have climbed into their
farm wagons on the second Friday in
August, or early en- Saturday morning,
have started for Sea Girt for their an
nual bath in salt water. Fakers have
camped out each year here for this event
and as the new years have come the
crowds of sojourners have increased, un-
til now the holiday is as much of an
outing for them as for the farmers. As
many as .25,000 have been here for big
Sea Day. within the last five years
Whether the farmers win take kindly
to the change remains to be seen. At
Manasquan River inlet there are no thick
groups Of trees in which the rustics can
gather for quiet games of chance with
strangers from New York. and there will
be no place outside of the view of the
eagle eve of Charley Strong, the prose-

water ean be secured. and these may APP
peal to the swains and their best girls.
The owners Of the old property are GO
ing to place police at the various en-
frances. and do everything in their power
to make the change without trouble.
August II will determine whether Jers ey.
farmers can depart from custom estab
lished over long years.

Erie carried 1lT.2o1 passengers and on
the Fourth the number transported
reached 142910. total Of more than

traffic of the two Intervening days
brought the total to nearly 100000 pas

lie school and public reformatories; in
deed, are much closer 10 the former than
to the latter. Pupils may be committed
to them by the school authorities and they
are detained in them until reformation is
effected or a certain age is reached.
Their treatment and occupations in these
schools, and the inducements held out to
them are conducive to good behavior.
Experience shows that the treatment is
.effectuaI and that long detention is, as a
rule, unnecessary. Nest pupils are soon
returned to the public schools. Aside
from the positive good which these
schools do in the way Of correction, their
existence serves to prevent serious Of
fenses. Such special schools should be
far removed from the taint which popu-
lar opinion attaches to the reform
school.
Such schools, frequently and aptly
called Parental Schools, have been es
tablished in Boston, and several other
parts of Massachusetts, New York. Chi

Home, which has been maintained by the
City of Newark since 1870. is a notable
