NEARING DISSOLUTION.
Peace Conference Is in Danger Of
Breaking Up.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. &c.
The peace conference seemed headed
straight for the rocks. Despite the
fact that every question of principle in
volved in the quarrel between the two
countries has been settled in favor OF
the victor and that apparently only
words and money" still separate
them, the negotiations seem on the
verge of final rupture. The air was
filled last night with gloomy forebod-
ings, as superficially everything indi-
Gated that to-day's session of the con-
ference will prove the farewell seance.
Two emperors, one at st. Petersburg
and the other at Toxic, are the deter
mining factors in the pending negotia-
tions.
Although the negotiations Temporal
rily are suspended at Portsmouth, they
are proceeding actively through Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill. He
is In practically constant communica-
tion with the st. Petersburg and To
kio governments. By both of the war
ring nations his good offices have been
sought and his efforts to bring their
plenipotentiaries into accord and thus
prevent failure of the peace confer
ence are unremitting.

THE PRESIDENT DIVES
IN SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT
HiqhIy Successful Test in Long Island
sound-Remains Under Water
for Fifty Minutes.

Oyster Bay. Aug. 26.-Presiden'
Roosevelt late yesterday afternoon
made descent in Long Island SOUND
on board the submarine torpedo boat
Plunger. He was aboard the vesse,
about three hours. At one time the lit.
tie boat was submerged for fifty min
utes, and in that time was put through
all Of the submarine feats Of which
she is capable.
The President expressed tonight his
delight at the novel experience, and
said that he was Immensely impressed
with the boat and with the manner in
which she was handled.
In thus Drawing the dangers of sub
marine maneuvering, the President
has endeared himself to naval officers
and men the world over and made
Lieut. Charles H. Nelson, commander
of the Plunger. the proudest and hap
piest man in the U. S. Navy.
Shortly after O'Clock the President
went aboard the Plunger from one of
the launches of the naval yacht Sylph.
AS soon as the President had de-
scended into the boat the manholes
were closed and. conveyed by tho ma
val tender Apache, the Plunger started
for the sound. No maneuvers were at
tempted until the vessel was well be-
yond the entrance to the bay. A stiff
northeast breeze which had been blow
ing since last night kicked up heavy
sea in the sound. but the Plunger be-
haved beautifully. The water where
the trial took place is about forty feet
deep, too shallow, In the opinion of
Lieutenant Nelson and his experts, to
enable the vessel to do her best work.
Soon after the vessel reached neces-
sary depth of water she was directed
downward until she rested on the bot
tom of the sound. Then the mechan-
ism of the craft was explained min
utely to the President by Lieutenant
Nelson so that afterward he expert
enced no difficulty in understanding
the maneuyers which were performed.
While the President thus was rest
ign on the bottom of the sound in a
submarine boat, storm forty feet
above him was raging unnoticed. The
rain descended in torrents and the
northeaster whipped the surface OF the
water into big 1ollers. but 1t was as
quiet and peaceful where the President
sat as an easy parlor would be.
During the operations Of the Plunger
the tender Apache remained within a
short distance prepared to render any
assistance that might be necessary.
She was not needed, however. and the
Plunger returned to her mooring with
out an untoward incident. The Presi
dent shook hands with all the crew as
he left the vessel to return to Saga.
more Hill.
In describing his experience tonight,
President Roosevelt expressed great
satisfaction with the manner in which
the tiny vessel was managed. He re-
marked particularly on the possible.
ties of the submarine torpedo boats in
actual warfare. He related the details
of his experience with evident pleas,

Americans and nearly all have been

Peace outlook Desperate.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 25.-The
prospects of peace seem desperate, but

TO PROBE EQUITABLE
FULL INVESTIGATION SOUGHT
Company Joins State In Asking That
Its Affairs Be Subject to
Careful Review.

CdFcVui 1CticWs
New York. Aug. 25.-The Equitable
Life Assurance Society to-day Joined
with the state OF New York In asking
for full investigation in court of Its
directors and officers and their alleged
wrong-doings in managing the moneys
OF the society.
The document which announced this
determination was the answer of the
forty-nine Equitable directors to
charges made against them in connec
tion with suit brought against the
Equitable society by the state.
Admission is made that some Off
cials of the Equitable have been guilty
of improper and Illegal acts. In all
thirteen charges are answered by the
directors. Among these answers they
admit the s250,000 loan to the Depew
Investment Company.
They admit the s6S5,000 loan of the
Mercantile Trust Company. but waive
responsibility in this loan SO far as the
board of directors is concerned, and
indicate Messrs. Alexander, Jordan aud
Deming as the persons having the most
intimate knowledge Of these transac-
tions.
The charge that excessive salaries
were paid to officers of the Equitable
is net directly answered, but admission
Is made that under guise of salaries
excessive fees were given to certain
Equitable officials who were also d.
rectors in other companies. In defense
the answer states that these practices
were not known to the whole board of
directors.
Outlining their belief as to the best
policy to pursue in fixing the blame for
the Equitable scandals. the directors
say first that the blame for alleged
cases of misconduct will be found to
rest on individual officers, and not
upon the directors as a body. Having
made this explanation, the answer then
admits in general way the wrong
doing charged.
The first charge specifically an
swered is that premises on Broadway
were let at inadequate rentals to the
Mercantile Safe Deposit Company.
This is admitted, but it is denied that
at the time this lease was made James
H. Hyde, James W. Alexander. William
Alexander, Gage e. Tarbell, Valentine
p. Snyder, Thomas d. Jordan. Charles
B. Alexander. Henry r. Winthrop, AL
vim W. Krech and William H. McIn-
tyre were stockholders and directors in
the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company
As to excessive and unwarranted
loans to agents, the reply admits that
they were made.
The s10,000,000 surplus held by the
Equitable society is the final item con-
sidered by the directors. and in sub
stance their reply on this charge is
that they do not know precisely what
their rights are regarding the surplus.
and that they are willing to leave this
matter for the courts to decide.
In conclusion, the answer says:
Wherefore, this defendant joins in
the prayer of the plaintiff in this ac-
ton, and thereon submits its rights and
interests in the matters in question to
the judgment of the court"

THE FARM AND RANGE
Colorado State Fair.

The lowest rates ever offered by the
railway companies for the state fair
have been established for the week
of September 11th to 18th.
These rates ought to bring to Pueblo
in state fair week the largest crowd
this city has ever seen within its bor-
ders, provided-and this we have no
doubt will be properly looked after
the fair and the rates are suitably ad-
vertised throughout the state.
Especially favorable rates have been
made from the Arkansas valley, east
and west of Pueblo, from the San Luis
valley, and from Denver. Colorado
Springs and Trinidad and Walsenburg.
and from these regions the bulk of the
state fair visitors will doubtless be
drawn. although we shall also expect
large numbers from the western slope.
The people that live in Colorado
citles-and far too large proportion
of the people of this state do live in
cities-are slow to appreciate the
transformation that is taking place in
the Colorado rural districts. There
are many regions of the state where
one may ride for miles through farm
ing country that is in nowise inferior
from any point of Improvement to the
bcoL Ic6lOho vi SaotCih otdtto,
and this is true not of any particular
section or county, but OF many coun-
ties in all sections.
The improvement in farm building,
in roads, in orchards, in shade trees
and lawns, and especially in live stock
within the last half dozen years has
been marvellous. And short of long
and expensive journey through the
state, there is no other way of gaining
such good idea of Colorado's agricul-
tural progress as by visit to the state
fair at Pueblo.
The fair itself has kept steady pace
with the development of Colorado agri-
culture, and it will be better and bigger
this year than it has ever been before
mainly for the reason that Colorado
agriculture is better and bigger this
year than 1t was last year or any other
preceding year.-Pueblo Chieftain.

Detroit 1unnel Rsuun.

Detroit, Aug. 26.-Work on the rail
road tunnel which is to be constructed
under the Detroit river between Wind
sor and Detroit began yesterday when
a force of workmen commenced sink
ing the initial shaft on the American
side. A similar shaft will shortly be
sunk on the tunnel line on the Cana
dian side. While there is still much
preliminary surveying and testing to
be doue, the location of the tunnel is
practically decided upon.
The actual length of the under
ground portion of the tunnel will be
two and six-tenths miles and the dis
lance from surface to surface almost
exactly three miles. 1t is estimated
that between two and three years will
be occupied in the construction.
