RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT URGEc
TO RESIST HUMlLiATlNG
DEMANDS OF JAPAN.
DISCUSS ALLEGED TERMS OF PEACE
CONDITIONS OUTLINED BY JAP
ENVOY CONSIDERED FAR
FROM MODERATE.

st. Petersburg, July 31.-The tone
Of the Russian press grows more war.
like as the peace conference draws
nigh and the government on all sides
Is urged to resist humiliating demands,
even at the cost of continuing the war.
Peace on the Japanese terms as
outlined by Mr. Sato," says the Russ,
which is the first paper to comment
seriously on the Sato interviews, "can
only be an armistice." The Russ, which
has now the largest liberal following,
finds the japanese demands far from
moderate and sees little chance of the
conference ending successfully Ii Mr..
Eato has correctly stated the Japanese
position. but it appears to believe that
Baron komura's spokesman Is acting
ION his own responsibility" or scents
a possible bluff to pave the way for
the acceptance of actual and more
moderate terms by Japan.
The Sviet continues Its fault finding
with the ''tactlessness" of the visit Of
Secretary of War Taft and Miss Alice
Roosevelt to Japan while the United
States Is the host of the peace pleni-
DOtentiarieS.

Chinese Commercial Organization
Urging Extension of Boycott.


Victoria, B. c., July 31.-Advices
from Hongkong by the steamer Tartar
state that mass meetings of guilds con.
tinue to be held at Canton and Hong
kong, at which arrangements are max
ing to further the boycott against the
United States.
Delegates have been appointed to
visit different guilds in China and q
board has been arranged to gather
data from the Chinese in America re-
garding their disabilities, the informa-
tion to be published In pamphlet form
for distribution throughout China, and
circular letters will be sent to Chinese
in America urging them not to be dis
heartened, but to stand staunchly by
the movement.
Chinese papers are printing columns
of bitter attacks against the United
States, and recounting stories OF al
legged degradations and outrages prac-
ticed on Chinese in America, which aid
In influencing the people of South

PANIC IN NEARBY TOWNS.
Commercial Quarantine Against New
Orleans.

New Orleans, July 31.-The most
situation is the evidence that panic Is
increasing In the smaller towns of Lou
isiana and Mississippi and that dis
position is growing to revive the dis
astrous commercial >quarantines OF
1897, when some of the country towns
even refused to receive Ice or hard
ware from New Orleans. Columbia,
La. bars all kinds Of merchandise ex-
cept hardware; Utica, Miss. will not
receive freight of any kind: Osyka,
Miss, will take no fruit or vegetables.
and Jackson, La, wants no household
articles from New Orleans. Several
towns In Tennessee and others along
the Mississippi Valley road In Missis-
sippi refuse to allow express matter OF
any kind to be put off; Port Gibson
will not take bread nor anything
wrapped in burlap that may be shipped
from this city. Some of the Texas
towns are asking that the mails be
fumigated.
If the movement to quarantine
freight spreads New Orleans will suf-
fer much more seriously than from
the fever itself. Up to the present
there has been no local apprehension
Of dangerous epidemic and 1t was
believed that IL the boards OF health In
other states lived up rigidly to their
agreement not to place any restrtc-
tions On the transportation of freight
there would only be slight reduction
of business and the chief inconveni-
ence would be the inability of the coun-
try people to come here and OF New
Orleans people to go into the South
ern towns and cities.

CHINA WILL ASK DAMAGES
Seeks to Recover Heavy indemnity
From EeIliaerents.

Washington, July 5l.-FoiloWing her
request that she be permitted to par
ticipate in the Portsmouth peace con-
ference and the later announcement
that she will not be bound by any
provision relating to Manchuria that
may be contained in the possible peace
treaty between Russia and Japan it Is
reported here that China will demand
an indemnity OF $l00,000.000 for dam
ages done by the belligerents in Man
churia through the destruction of
crops, burning Of villages and other
losses sustained by the inhabitants of
Manchuria since that province has
been the battlefield OF the greatest con-
fiict of all times.
Unless apparently trustworthy re-
ports are totally at fault both the Rus
sian and Japanese armies have paid
for everything they have used that
belonged to the Manchurians.

ARMisTicE is PROBABLE.
Fighting Will Be Suspended When
Peace ENJOYS Meet.

Peace ENJOYS Meet.
New York, July 31.-In the course
of an interview Aimar Sato. who Is the
official spokesman for the Japanese
peace commission, said:
Japan is perfectly willing to agree
to an armistice after the credentials of
both commissions have been examined
and verified.
THE examination of credentials
must necessarily be the first duty OF
the peace delegates to ascertain that
all are qualified to act in the capacity
to which they are represented. In the
negotiations for peace that ended the
Chinese war I remember there was
much delay because the credentials Of
one of the Chinese plsnipotentiaries
did not bear the emperor's seal grant
Ing him plenary powers.
However. l think an armistice will
be agreed upon after the commissions
enter formally upon their work. 1t
has been the custom In all peace nego-
tiations to cease hostilities during the
convention OF peace plenipotentiaries. :"
Mr.. Sato was asked as to the definite
powers Of the members of his commits
sion and he said:
They have power to reject any pro-
posal and commit the Japanese govern
ment to any document they may sign,
subject of course to the sanction Of
the emperor.

s,.sONTANA LAND FRAUD GASES
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST SEN.
ATOR WILLIAM A. CLARK
OF THAT STATE.

Washington, July 81. - Serious
charges are made against Senator
William A. Clark Of Montana in the
brief filed by Solicitor General Hoyt,
who is prosecuting the Montana land
fraud cases.
The facts in this case are similar In
many respects TO those in what are
known as the public land frauds which
Secretary Hitchcock has been investi-
eating for the past three years. The
suit comes up from the United States
circuit court of the district of Mon
tana, where Senator Clark was sus-
tanned. 1t now goes to the supreme
court OH questions of fact and law.
The defense of the senator is that he
did not know the lands had been Sc
cured from the government by fraud
ulent means. The governments con-
tention primarily Is that Clark did
know that the tracts were secured by
unlawful methods and, furthermore,
that owing to the rather peculiar con-
ditions under which Clark secured the
titles i'll question: lac UGSuHC iCspoiioi-
BILE for the frauds.
Anywhere from 10000 to 10000 acres
of the most valuable lands In Montana

embrace fine tracts OF timber and big
Quarries of stone. Great quantities o.
lumber and stone have been remove.

BURGLARS ARE CLEVER.
Wisconsin Central Yardmaster's House
at Fond du Lac Raided by
Thieves

FOND DU LAC, Wis, Sept. 49,
Especial. 1.-The home of John Madden,
yardmaster for the Wisconsin Central,
25O East First street, was entered by
burglars Sunday night and $1O5 in cash
and three valuable rings stolen.
The job was supposed to have been
done between l and 2 o'clock. At the
latter hour Mrs. Madden awoke with a
severe headache, and on going down
stairs discovered the front door open
and then found the back door also ajar.
She aroused Mr.. Madden and further
search resulted in the discovery that
S1O5 had been taken from Mr.. Madden's
pocket and several rings from a dresser.
The police department was notified. No
clues were left by the burglars and the
work was done SO quietly and deftly that
it is believed to have been the work Of
professionals.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Madden are light
sleepers, but not a sound was made that
disturbed them. The entry was made
with a key as no marks are on the doors.

WON'T ARREST ]. WALSH
Assistant Attorney General Titus
Says State Is Through with
the Crandon Case.
MYSTERY IS UNSOLVED,
Verdict of the Jury Holds Walsh Re-
sponsible, but Makes No Charge
Against Him.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 1S.-[ Special
Assistant Attorney General Titus, who
returned Sunday from Crandon, said this
morning, after a consultation with At
torney General Sturdevant, that the
state is through with the Walsh mystery
unless further steps are taken by mem
bers of Mrs. Walsh's family or some
resident of Forest county.
Had the verdict charged Mr.. Walsh
directly with the killing of his wife, l
should have considered it my duty to
swear out a warrant against him." he
said, But, under such a verdict as has
been brought in, the state would not be
justified in forcing upon the residents of
Forest county the expense of prOSecu-
ton.
of course, if any resident of Forest
county wished to cause the arrest of
w alSh they can swear out warrant and
bring him to a preliminary examination.
1t any member of Mrs. Walsh's family
wished to do this they can do so. But
the state has done it's duty in causing the
fullest possible investigation and the at
torney generals office will not proceed
further in the premises. | reported the
circumstances to Attorney General Stur-
devant and he agreed with me on this
position.
PERSONALLY, made every effort TO lay
every fact that could possibly shed light
on the mystery before the coroner's jury.
l had no bias or prejudice, and my only
desire was to solve the mystery if it were
possible to do so. The verdict of the
jury is a peculiar one and is of no effect
in clearing up the circumstances sur
rounding the case which presents more
battling features than any in which L
