$4,000 for Young Rouss.

Though the Court of Appeals OF New
York, not long ago reversed the $780,
600 Judgment obtained against the estate
of Charles Broadway ROuss, the blind
merchant, who died three years ago, by
J. Arthur Fischer, as guardian OF
Charles Broadway Rouss, an illegiimate
son, the executors of the estate have
agreed to compromise the lads claim by
turning over $50, 900 to the guardian
lust half the amount sued for. An order
disseminating the action on these terms
will be entered shortly.
The boy was 10 years old on the 9th
of this month. Hist mother, Mrs. Eva
Sue Figgett Rosseau, WAS one OF several
women with whom ROuss got entangled
in his later years. She said that he had
made her his common law wife after the
death of Mrs. Rouss, and the executors
thought enough of her claim to settle
1913, 600 on her in lieu of dover. In the
suit in behalf of her child Mrs. Rosseau
testified that Rouss had maintained her
in her apartments in Washington square
where he visited her constantly and ex-
hibited the strongest affection for the

Germany Gets Concessions.

A dispatch from Fee, Morocco says
"German friendship for Morocco has
already been rewarded by several minor
commercial concessions. This is regard
ed in diplomatic circles in London as a
precedent liable 10 create complications
if other grants follow, because it would
change the status quo and perhaps cause
France to abandon her attitude ofpatience
thereby leading to crisis. The Sultan
maintains his absolutely independent at
titude, while the Moorish officials regard
Count Won Ta;tenbach Ashold, head OF
the German mission to Morocco, as a
guardian angel. The count is credited
with having made numberless statements
among them one in which he is alleged
to have told the Sultan that Germany
was quite prepared to protect him against
France. 1t is stated that the Moorish Of
fcials are reconciled to the possibility of
the proposed international conference be-
ing finally vetoed by France and Great
Britain, but that they believe the propo-
sition will be supported by other powers,
and it is further stated that the Sultan is
prepared to indefinitely resist the pro.
pOsals of the French government"

Ir HAS been over forty years since
war dispatches have been sent from
Alexandria. There was a time in the
memory OF many now living when war
was a reality aud when it was dangerous
for any description OF vessels to pass up
the Potomac, and when men-Of-war were
compelled to keep at a distance from
the frowning batteries which lined the
west side of the river. In the days re-
ferred to vessels arrived here showing
damage from solid shots. The gunboa'
Pawnee engaged the batteries at Aqua
creek in 1861, but was compelled to
withdraw after having her smokestack
damaged by a cannon ball Such scenes
were far more impressive then those be-
ing enacted at present and which have
again made this vicinity the point from
which to send dispatches.

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1905

THERE Is trouble in the Royal Area
mum. caused by the sudden jump in in
surance rates. and the dissatisfaction Is
gaining force daily. There is a suspi-
cion among many of the members that
the new rates were inspired by one OF
the old-line life insurance companies,
which is scheming to squeeze all the old
men out of the Arcanum and then grab
what is left of the insurance feature OF
the order. This may or may not be true,
as other reasons are given for the dlssat-
isfaction now prevailing. Nearly all
mutual insurance companies experience
more or less trouble at times, but by
good management they are generally
piloted out of their difficulties. We
prefer to believe this will be the case
with the Royal Arcanum. 1t is an OLD
American institution, embracing among
its members many of the best and most
representative citizens, and those who
are taking an optimistic view OF present
conditions indulge the hope that the
order will eventually enter the open sea
again and continue on in its commend
able mission, tempering the rude hand
of death by providing for such as have
been deprived of bread-winners. The
Two councils in Alexandria have since
their formation been justly regarded as
among the best of our institutions
Their rosters contain a large percentage
of our most useful and prominent GILL
zens, and all hope that the affairs OF the
order will soon be placed in a condition
satisfactory to all interested.

From Washington.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
Washington, d. c., June IL.


Washington, d. c., June 19.
Active exchanges of communications
between the Russian and japanese
governments, through the medium OF
President Roosevelt, are now going on
as to the place and time of meeting ofthe
peace commission. Each suggestion from
the Russian Ambassador here Is trans
mitted to the japanese Minister, and
vice versa. Various places have been
mentioned any one of which may be
chosen; amonglthem: Washington, New
port, Manchester-by-the-sea Geneva, The
Hague, Stockholm, Mukden and Chefoo.
One thing is quite certain, neither Toxic
nor St. Petersburg would be satisfactory
to both belIigerents. The argument be-
ing made against Washington at this
time is that the weather would be uncom-
Portable here for a summer session. Oh
this account Newport and Manchester,
the summer homes of several of the
Washington diplomats have been sug-
gested, provided the beliigerents should
decide to have the meeting place
here. It is understood that each bel
ligerent has named two or three places,
either one of which would be satisfactory.
As every suggestion must be cabled to
both st. Petersburg and Toxic, it may
be day or Two before the location is de-
finely announced.
From a high official authority it is
understood that The Hague is likely to
he the compromise location for the
meeting of the japanese and Russian
peace plenipotentiaries. The first Cab
met meeting at the White House since
the President effected the first great
move in the direction of peace in the
east. was held this morning, and much
of the session was devoted to a discus
sion of the matter. The President re-
ceived the warmest congratulations from
his ministers OH his achievement. Dur
ing the meeting the President notified
the Cabinet members that the formal
acceptance OF his peace proposition had
been received from the Russian foreign
office through Ambassador Meyers.

The Island of SaghaIien.

st. Petersburg, June l9.-It is re-
ported that the government is consider
ing the question of selling the island OF
Saghalen to some foreign power which
may be willing to buy the island. The
money which would be secured as the
purchase price would be applied on the
indemnity which Japan in all probability
will demand as the price OF peace. 1t is
stated in certain quarters that the United
States is regarded as probable pur-
chaser, many statesmen believing that
the Washington government can be in
duced to buy the island. Saghalien
island is a large island lying almost
directly to the north of Yesso, one of
largest islands of the japanese group.
1t has been rumored that japan would
demand the ceding of this island to her as
one of the peace requisites. Some time ago
a report was sent out from ST. Petersburg
that the United States government was
negotiating for the purchase OF the island,
but this was denied from Washington.
