JAP TERMS TOO HARD.
Russian Envoys Balk at
 Peace Conditions.
IIKADO'S DEMANDS NOW KNOWN.
Reimbursement For Cost of War. Amount to Be Fixed In Future, and Cession of sakhalin and
 Dalny Chief Items.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H.. Aug. H. The critical point in the peace confer ence has been reached. Within twen- ty-four hours it is thought that it will be practically decided whether or not the czsr will accede to the demands of the Japanese, although the negotia- tions over minor points may drag along for several days or weeks.
 The text of the Japanese terms so far as essentials are concerned will stand as presented in writing by Baron Komura It is for M Witte and his government to decide whether they shall be accepted.
 At the session of the conference Baron Komura handed to NJ. Witte the terms of peace formulated by the emperor and the elder statesmen Of Japan. The former minister of the in terior of the Russian empire promptly thrust the papers into an inside pocket and the session of the peace confer ence was then declared adjourned.
 The Japanese at once went to lunch con, but M Witte and Baron Rosen retired to their private rooms, where they examined the document on which so much depends.
 Nj. Witte personally put into cipher for transmission to his imperial master the czar with his own comment upon the character of the conditions of the Japanese demands and his views as to what action had best be taken. It is said that Japan's peace terms have fairly staggered the Russian en- voys. Among other demands which she has made-the money indemnity alone being susceptible of scaling-are said to be the following:
 Reimbursement for the expenses sus- | tained in the prosecution of the war, i the cession of the island of Sakhalin and the limitation of Russia's naval strength in the far east constitute the main features of Japan's peace condi- tions. The word indemnity" was care 1 fully avoided. the term employed being reimbursement" for the cost of the war. No sum was fixed, the amount being distinctly adjourned for mutual | adjustment between the two countries after the Japanese expenditure has been ascertained. These are the all i'm portant conditions. and it is known that the Russian plenipotentiaries find them absolutely unacceptable.
 Cession of a portion of Amur prov ince in Siberia.
 Cession of Sakhalin island and Dal ny.
 Relinquishment of all Russian right' in the Liautong peninsula.
 Obligating Russia not to interfer' with the Japanese fertilization of Por Arthur.
 Cession of the Eastern China railroa' from Harbin to Port Arthur.
 Recognition of the predominance o Japanese influence in Korea.
 Evacuation of Manchuria by tn Russians.
 Obligating Russia to not interfer with the open door policy in Man churia.
 Turning over the interned Russiai warships at Shanghai, San Frsncisc and other ports.

Jacques
"NY PARTNER. :"

Better than Arizona or any other of the legion of plays written around the history of the great west. is Bartley Campbelrs My Partner" which the Poli summer stock company will pre- sent at the Jacques next week. This piece is by long odds the greatest drama the Pittsburg newspaper man ever wrote and every performance of it should be witnessed by packed house. A remarkable feature of the play is that while it is laid among the mining camps of California, where every man is "heeled," there is not a pistol shot in the entire action and but one knife thrust. which is not seen by the audience. It is filled with the finest of pathos and heart interest and has a plot that for interest and sus- pense is unrivaled in American stage literature. The atmosphere of the year of '49 is perfectly reproduced and the scenic effects are especially note worthy, Mount Shasta forming te background for most of them. Prices are 10. % and 30 cents. afternoons l( and 20 cents. ladies 10. Souvenirs Fri day afternoon.

FOUGHT SEVEN DAYS.
Insane Man st stratford Shoals Tried

Insane Man ot etratf0rd Shoals Tried
 In Vain to Destroy Its Light.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 1I-Stratford Shoals light and perhaps the big Long Island sound steamers which are guid- ed by 1t were saved last week through the heroic struggle which the keeper of the light, Merrill Hulse, made for seven days against an insane man ma fooned alone with the keeper and de- termined to extinguish the light.
 The madman was Hulse's brother keeper, Julius Coster. who went crazy and tried to destroy his light. In at tempts to get at the light Coster want ed to kill Hulse
 The lighthouse is situated on Long Island, midway between Bridgeport and Port Jefferson.
 Hulse had no warning that he was living with an insane man until one day Coster attacked him with a weap- on made of a razor lashed to the end of long pole The keeper overpowered Coster and repeatedly afterward dur ing the first two days of his compan- ions madness was forced to fight for his own life. Then Coster's mania took a new turn, and one afternoon Hulse i, found him with hammer and chisel trying to cut away the walls of the lighthouse
 That night the light suddenly stopped revolving and its keeper ran to the lamp room to find Coster with an ax about to destroy the lenses. He fought his way into the room and saved the light, but from that time on for fully five days, doing two mems work. the brave keeper was forced both to guard the lenses day and night and to fight many times for his own life, and final ly toward the end of this period anoth. CT burden was laid on him.
 As Coster's delirium wore of he be came desirous Of committing suicide so that when removed from the light house he bore self inflicted gashes all over his neck. which only Hulses faith i full watchfulness had kept from be coming fatal He has been placed IT i a hospital.

IRVING ARRESTED.
Complainant Rhinock Charges Crim-
 inal Libel.

N
 inal Libel.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 1l.-Robert A. Irving. publisher of the New Yorker, has been arrested charged with crimi- nal libel. He was about to start for Newport. Irving was taken at once to the criminal courthouse. arraigned before Magistrate Breen and in de fault was locked up in the Tombs.
 The complainant is Congressman Rhinock of Covington, Ky. who some weeks ago caused the arrest of Robert w. Criswell. editor of the New Yorker, on similar charge. Criswell subse- ouently met with tragic death De- meath a subway train.
 The charge against Irving grows out of the same article upon which the prosecution of Criswell was based. The article eensured Congressman Long worth of Ohio for introducing MT. Rhinock to Miss Alice Roosevelt dur ing the visit of the presidents daugh- ter to the Latonia races, near Gin cinnati.
