JAPAN HAD SOME THINGS TO SAY
TO RUSSIA IN AN INpi.
RECT WAY.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., August 81.
The ENJOYS of Japan and Russia are
to-day contemplating a postponement
of the conference arranged for Tues.
day at three o'clock until some later
date. They may decide to meet at
the time decided upon at their last
session, but IL SO it is likely that the
only business transacted will be to
pass upon certain of the protocols of
the previous sessions. Although au.
thoritative confirmation cannot be Sc
cured, 1t Is understood that the rep
resentatives of Russia and Japan de-
sire to give further time for the de.
velopments of the results of Presi.
dent Roosevelt's conference with Bar
on Rosen. 1t is learned that the
President has conveyed to the Russian
government unofficial assurances that
Japan will modify her demands IL she
can receive from the Gear similar as.
surances of modification of the Rus
sian attitude. Baron Kaneko, the
financial adviser of the Japanese gov.
ernment in this county, was the me-
dium through which this suggestion
was conveyed to the President. Real
izing the necessity for prompt action,
President Roosevelt Immediately ar
ranged for conference with Baron
Rosen and transmitted to him the un-
official communication. The Publish
ers' Press has been assured that the
President has not interfered in the
peace negotiations, but that whatever
action he has taken has been upon
the initiative Of Japan. The reason
this circuitous method was adopted
was the natural hesitation of the
Japanese ENJOYS to approach the Rus
SLAMS directly through the fear that
their efforts for peace might be i'm
properly misconstrued. If the sugges-
tions made through President Roose-
welt received favor by the Russians,
1t will mean that the negotiations here
will continue. II they are not accept
ed, the probabilities point to the con-
ference coming, to an end Tuesday
or Wednesday. : Diplomacy proceeds
in two ways, officially and unoficially.
If Japan suggested, at. the, conference
modification Of her terms that sug-
gestion would became part OF the
official records, and in the event OF re-
lection, might prove embarrassing.
Acting through the President the sug-
gestion of modification is purely un-
official, and II 1t does not prove accep-

1t was red letter day in camp cir

There were fully six thousand people
on the grounds to witness the parade,

that 1t would be most inconvenient for
the visitors.
Instead such work. had been done
on the grounds as to make them prac-

rain storms, and it could hardly be

they had suffered the deluge of Sat.

KILLED IN RANKIN COUNTY.

One of the saddest deaths the Senti.

for long time is that of Theodore

Mansfield, in company with his

denly there was crash. and very
tall pine tree fell across the road,

crushing Mr.. Mansfield His body
and head were terribly mangled, his
arms and legs broken, and he was
killed instantly. His brother in law
escaped with slight bruises.

Introduction at my hands. But I
would like to say q word in regard to
Miss Wiener, who will have charge of
the primary work, and whom it is my
privilege to know personally. She is
one of the finest primary teachers in
the state. At one time she had the
primary work at Crystal Springs
Chatauqua in charge. Her work is
not made up of theories, but is in
tensely practical and cannot fail to
help our teachers. No doubt all have
observed that Primer was adopted
by our school commission. This is a
thing unprecedented in our county,
but is an actual need in our schools.
Those in authority insist too, that it
must be taught. Miss Wiener's work
in Brandon will be to teach the teach
ers how to use this primer, along
with other work the primary teacher
must do. Personally, Miss Wiener
is a bright, affaple lady, cultured and
refined, filled with an enthusiasm in
her work and anxious to help those
with whom she comes in contact.

ductor's conference at Starkville,
where the educational needs of our
state, and the best plans of work were
studied. 1t was indeed wonderful
meeting. The instructors that were
from the north said they had never
seen anything like it. So much of
earnestness and enthusiasm was there
that they reminded one more of an
old fashioned Methodist revival than
anything else. The state superin-
tendent directed the institute conduc-
tors to present the new books and the
best methods of teaching them, in all
the institutes. This will be very
helpful. For our new arithmetlcs,
biographies, and grammars are radi-
cally different from the old. They
are very great improvement over
those formerly used, but will be
harder to teach.
Hoping that we may have a large
