Washington at Saratoga.

Booker T. Washington's appearance
at dinner recently in the great dining
room of the United States hotel at Sar
atoga caused mild sensation among
the diners. Mr.. Washington was the
guest of John Wanamaker. former
postmaster general. and acted as es
cort of Mrs. Barclay Warburton, Mr.
Wanamaker's daughter. while Mr.
Wanamaker walked to the table with
]. II. E. Roberts. As they walked down
the long line every eye was directed
upon the distinguished negro educator
and the former Cabinet officer. Com
paratively few of those present recog
nized either of them and there was
a general buzz of comment and Gran
ing of necks.
Mr.. Washington preached at Sara
toga three times, first in the Presby-
terian church, then in the Baptist
church, and late in the evening in the

PRESSURE FOR PEACE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is BUSY
Great Powers Uniting to Bring Russia
and Japan to Agree On
Terms

Portsmouth. N. H.. Aug. 21.-Tts
chances of peace undoubtedly have i'm
proved by President Roosevelts action
in stepping into the breach in last
heroic endeavor to induce the warning
countries to compromise their "ir
reconcilable differences" but the re
suit is still in suspense. The ultimate
decision of the issue has de facto il
not de jure passed from the plenipo.
tentiaries to their principals, from
Portsmouth to st. Petersburg. and per
haps in lesser extent ito Toxic.
Although there are collateral evi
dences that pressure both by President
Roosevelt and neutral powers. includ
ing Japan's ally, Great Britain, whose
minister, Sir Claude Macdonald. ac
cording to a dispatch received here
had a long conference yesterday after
noon with Mr.. Katsura. the japanese
premier, is still being exerted at Toxic
to induce Japan to moderate her de
mands, there is also reason to believe
that President Roosevelt was able at
this interview with Baron de Rosen to
practically communicate to the latter's
senior, Mr.. Witte. Japan's irreducible
minlmum-what she would yield but
the point beyond which she would not
go.
Whether an actual basis of compro
mise was proposed by the President
can not be stated definitely. The only
thing that can De affirmed positively is
that If Russia refuses to act upon the
suggestion or proposition of President
Roosevelt the peace conference will
end in failure. Ard in the Russian
camp little encouragement is given.
Baron de Rosen reached here, after
4 -..ta Ilat-
shoftly before noon. and Immediately
went into conference with M. Witte
They remained closeted together for
almost three hours. during which the
whole situation was reviewed. Baron
de Rosen communicated to his CHIEF
the Presidents message and it was
transmitted to the emperor. together
with NJ. Whites recommendation.
No clew to the nature of this recon-
mendation has transpired. But 1t can
be said that NJ. Witte. no matter how
he personally may view the PROPOSE
tion, is distinctly pessimistic as to the
character of the response which will
come from St. Petersburg.
To a confidential friend this after
noon he offered little hope of a change
in the situation.
The Japanese, it is firmly believed
cling to the substance of the form OF
their demand for remuneration for
the cost of the war"
Perhaps they are willing to decrease
the sum asked. but substantial com
pensation under whatever guise it is
obtained. they decline to relinquish
And they also are firm upon the ces'
sion Of Saghalien. BY the transfer OF
the southern branch of the Chinese
Eastern railway first to Japan for re-
linquishment to China, payment for
the maintenance of the Russian pris'
oners and the surrender of the Rus
sian war ships. it is possible to figure
out total transfer to Japan in money
and property of about $25O,0OO,OOO
But this is the limit.
The Japanese as usual are very retl'
cent and it is impossible to obtain
from them the least indication of their
view of the change in the situation
produced by the Presidents action.

New Version Of 20. X

Warren Keifer. in the Archaeological

in 1870, when the Harrison campaign
was in progress. Whig farmer drove
into town with this legend painted on
his wagon: THE people is OIL Korrect."
The Democrats made fun of the spell
ing, but a Whig tavern keeper near
Springfield stuck the letters 20. X. :.
over his door, where they remained
until the building was torn down, in
1901. This seems more probable than
any of the other statements. The use
