hour arrived for the men to meet their
fate bowling mob held possession OF
the precincts where the prison Is situ-

There were cries Of death! Death!
Torture him" as the second culprit
was placed beneath the knife.
Unfortunately the executioners grew
nervous and dropped the blade unskll-
fully, crushing the victims head, ill.,

crowd burst through the lines OF SOL

less bodies and carry them in triumph

thrust back by the police. only after

f1o7T THREE TREATY AR lcLEs

Taree of the Twelve Conditions OF the
Japanese Were Disposed OF at the
Merely tho Minor and Obvious Con.
litions Proposed.
Portsmouth. y. H. Three Of the
twelve treaty articles submitted by
Japan have been approved by the
Russian pienipotentiaries. with slight
notifications
The three articles are, in substance,
As follows:
First Kussia's recognition Of ia
pans ''preponderating influence" and
special position in Korea, which. Rus
sia agrees, is henceforth outside her
sphere of influence. Japan binds her
self to recognize the suzerainty of the
reigning family, but retains the right
to give assistance to improve the civil
administration Of the empire.
Second - A mutual obligation to
evacuate Manchuria, each power to
surrender all special privileges in those
provinces. and q mutual obligation to
respect the territorial integrity" OF
China and to maintain the principle OF
equal opportunity for the commerce
and industry of all nations IN Man

Third-The cession to China OF the
Chinese Eastern Railway from Harbin
southwark.
There was never any question about
the acceptance on the part. OF M. Witte
vt these articles, the first two covering
in more emphatic form the contentious
Of Japan in the diplomatic struggle
which preceded the war.
The third article is natural conse-
ouence of the result Of the war. The
cession of the railroad, the building OF
which cost Russia an immense sum.
estimated by some at between $780,
100000 and 2O0.0O0.0O0, is to China.
Japan and China, therefore, will ar
range between themselves the method
by which the former is to be remuEer-
ated, and through this financial opera
tion Japan might obtain the repayment
. Of a very considerable portion of her
own war expenses.
