JAPAN WILL
DEMAND BIG
INDEMNITY

Portsmouth, y. H, Aug 10.-Eijiro
Takasugi. professor of English OF the I'm
perial university of Toxic. who has just
concluded a postgraduate course at Har-
ward and IS 20 return this month. had a
lengthy conference last night with Mr.
Sato who has been the spokesman so
far for the japanese peace mission.
After the conference Mr.. Takisuga gave
utterance to the most optimistic views
as 10 the outcome OF the conference.
The Portsmouth conference will end in
a treaty Of peace" ne said. THE con-
ference may be long drawn out, but Rus
sia must in the end accede TO the terms
of Japan. She cannot do otherwise. Rus
sla has fought until she can fight no
longer. japan gained an impregnable po-
sition and can dictate terms. There is
no escape for the Muscovite.
"Of course. I do not know absolutely
what Japans terms will be- but / think
I can tell very nearly what my countrys
representatives are likely 10 ask one
condition will be the immediate evacua-
tion OF Manchuria Another will be the
cession OF the island OF Sakhalin.
"Vladivostok will also be demanded.
Certainly an indemnity will be asked. A
defeated nation is always forced TO pay an
indemnity at the end OF the war l do
not know the amount. but am convinced
that IL will be at the very least one bill
lion These may be reduced, however.
IL peace can be brought about in no other
way
1T is 70 be expected that the Russian
ENJOYS will protest against such terms.
They may also refuse to continue negotia-
tions. but Baron Komura and Mr.. Taxa
hra will not be deceived by such tactics.
They will be immovable and in the end
Russia's representatives will give what
is asked
THE Russian people will undoubtedly
look upon the terms OF peace as dishoEor-
able and there will be much dissatisfac-
ton. The czar will quiet this by a
proclamation establishing a representa-
tive assembly This will be slmply "a
travesty upon Republican government,
and after two or three years even the
solace will be taken away from the people.
1t will have served its purpose"

DRIVER OF
ICE CART

Coroner Eugene II. Lincoln today filed
in the superior court his report on the in
quest held on the death OF Eva Lefebvre
a child who came to her death by being
crushed by the wheels Of an ice cart on
July 26th. The driver OF the ice cart,
John Garvin and his assistants, VIII
liam T. Quimby and Petcr H. Flynn, are
exonerated by the coroner.
After reviewing the testimony Of a num-
her of -MiInasses--Coroner- Lincoln
cludes his report as follows:
After hearing the testimony and re-
viewing the same. / find and certify that
said child. Eva Lefebvre. on the 26th day
OF July, 1905, at 1755 Yves stminster street. in
the city OF Providence. came 10 her death
by a fracture Of the skull and injury 10
the brain, the same being compromised
by the autopsy made by jay Perkins.
NJ D., and filed herewith. and further
certify and report that upon the tes-
timony OF the witnesses filed herewith
that said fracture OF the skull and injury
to the brain were the result OF being
caught and jammed being the tailboard
Of an ice cart and fence while attempt
ing TO take ice from the rear OF said cart
and that the death was caused not by the
act or neglect OF any person, but by ac-
cident and misfortune"
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1905-08-10

The purpose OF the Russian note was TO
make the permanent record complete and
make II show clearly the attitude OF the
plenipotentiaries from the beginning OF
the conference.
DIFFERENCE IN FORM.
In a general way the Associated Press is
able TO explain the difference which exists
in the form OF the two sets OF credentials.
Mr. Witte holds from the emperor Of
Russia full powers TO negotiate and con-
clude a treaty of peace subject only to
the ratification OF his sovereign. while the
credentials OF Baron Komura are In the
conditional tense so worded as TO empow-
er him TO conclude treaty for the rati-
fication of his government II he finds the
terms and conditions satisfactory. In ef-
feet the powers conferred are co-equal
but in the actual wording the authority
conferred upon Mr.. Witte seems the more
explicit.
CAUSE OF COMMENT.
Among the Russian and japanese dele
gates there is a good deal of comment
on the acquiesence OF NJ. Witte in the
suggestion OF Baron Komura, to exclude
delegates from the conference. though
the principals on either side might de-
sire 10 have them present.
Baron Komura raised a specific OBJ
lection 10 the presence OF Professor De
Martens, whom NJ. witte and Baron
Rosen desired TO have in attendance in
an advisory capacity, offering to agree
To the presence OF any of the japanese
delegates. But the japanese declined say
ing they should not ask for the pres
ence OF any OF the delegates.
NJ. Witte did not press the point, al
though II may be raised again later
should a basis OF settlement be reached.
Historical precedents are In favor or the
admission of delegates and should the
japanese objection stand It would. inde-
pendent OF its bearings upon the present
negotiations. create n precedent to which
appeal might be made in future

A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.

There is certain poetic propriety in the fact that the greatest tragedy romance of real life, that has come to light in many day should have for it's setting scenes made familiar by our first and greatest American novel; ist.
 The little village of Cooperstown and the surrounding country of Otsego county have been the stage of action of more than dozen of James Feni- more Cooper's tales. Wild and thrill ling as those tales are, and fraught as they are with intense human in terest and human passions, none of them is more thrilling or more intense than this real life tale, which has for heroine Miss Dorothy Boden, and for hero her father, namesake of the great novelist himself, James Feninmore Cooper Clayton.
 Thanks to his daughters efforts, MT. Clayton has just been pardoned by Governor Higgins, after serving more than twenty years in Auburn prison on life sentence, for having killed his baby daughter, the elder sister of Miss Dorothy Boden.
 MT. Clayton received his pardon Au- gust and is now in Coopertown with the daughter, who had never seen him until the day he rsturned to the vil- lage a free man, thanks to her eff forts.

possible in apartments. When one has
 a large house, with airy chambers, it
 is easy to ventilate properly; but in small bedrooms it is not always pos- sible to admit fresh air at night with out some one taking cold.
 Yet one must have fresh air in the sleeping room. One woman who has three children occupying one of the rooms of her tiny apartment always
 airs the rooms after the children are
 in bed and the last thing before she
 retires. She covers the children up snuggly, opens the windows and while they are raised shakes out the clothes that have been worn during the day and hangs them where they will air throughly in readiness for the morning. The air in the room is changed and freshened before she closes the win dows.
 This is g. good plan, but of course, it is only a poor substitute for the pure air that ought to be coming into the room all night There is a simple ar- engagement, by which this can be pro- cured. A board about five inches high
 should be made to fit into the window. It's length must be made to fit into the window. and it should be just the l width of the window, and it should be
 hinged in the middle that it may be the
 more easily taken out and in. It must
 be fitted into the window casing just below the bottom of the sash. The ! window is then closed as far as pos sible with the board in. This leaves
 a space between the upper and lower
 sash by which the fresh air is admit ted in an indirect way.-(Success Mag | o1{na
