3. Mutual guarantee of the terrific
rial integrity of China.
4. Transfer of the Russian leases In
the Lao Tung peninsula to Japan.
s. Mutual guarantee of the mainte-

At noon today Mr. Sibert, second
secretary of the Russian embassay at
Washington, announced that the plen-
ipotentiaries had agreed Unanimous
ly" to the fourth Japanese condition,
but, not being able to reach a unani-
nous agreement on article 5, further
consideration of it was postponed. The
envoys met again at 8 o'clock this af-
teroon, and at the conclusion of this
session, which lasted about two and a
half hours, Mr.. Sato, the Japanese
spokesman, announced that article No.
6 had been agreed to by common ac-
cord" This is understood to be the
open door" clause.
There are now left for action seven

these which the Russians are loath to
grant are:
l. The cession of SakEa::en.
2. The limitation of Russia's naval
power in the Pacific.
g. The reimbursement of war ex-
penses.
A. The granting to Japan of fishing
privileges on the coast of Siberia.
The impression is growing tonight
that Russia will fight harder over the
Chinese Eastern railway than she will
over Sakhalien. It is suggested that
japan may relinquish it's claim for
the cession o. SaKnaiien and accept in
lieu thereof increased indemnity, ac-
companied by guarantees of liberal
government in Sakhalien which will
insure to Japan's subjects equal rights
with those of Russia in that island.
The Chinese Eastern railway cost
Russia over s2OO,0OO,0OO Its greatest
value is in the fact that 1t Is the ave-
nue. through which Russian products
are transported in all seasons to the
Pacific.

AFTER lS YEARS

Lincoln, NeD., Aug. 15.--After Is
years of ignorance as to the where
abouts of his daughter, kidnapped
when 2 years old, Mike Schainost, a
northeast Nebraska farmer, believes
he has found his lost child. She is, he
thinks, in st. Louis, and every effort
Is being made to locate her. Eighteen
years ago Schainost lived on farm
in Brown county, Neb. A neighbor
named Ormsby seemed fascinated with
Schalnost's baby daughter. One night
the child disappeared, and day or so
later Ormsby left the county. No
trace of either was ever found.
A letter published In q state paper
from st. Louis has given clue to the
girls whereabouts. She relates her
story, which is identical with that of
Schainost's daughter. and he has gone
to st. Louis to look for her.

SURPRISE IS FELT
IN ST. PETERSBURG
OVER DECISION TO POSTPONE
sAKHALIEN DISCUSSION
Postponement, However, is Considered
Good Omen, Yet There Is Much
Feeling Of Doubt.

st. Petersburg Aug. 16.-The dis
patches announcing the decision of the
plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth to
waive for the present the consideration
of the article relating to Sakhalien
and to proceed with the discussion of
terms that Russia is willing to accept
were received here with some surprise
and even relief as it had been feared
that yesterdays session might end the
conference.
M. Witte is known to have consid-
cred rupture more than possible. The
Russian correspondents on Monday
night privately notified their papers
that negotiations might be expected to
end on the morrow, when the Russian
and japanese plenipotentiaries locked
horns on the question of the cesslon OF
Sakhalien. The bourse also was ap-
prehensive, and Russian Imperial As
yesterday fell off an eighth.
The postponement of the discussion
of one of the two points on which the
fate Of the conference hangs is consid-
cred a good sign, but not sure one,
and the general opinion remains one OF
doubt though pessimism is losing
ground as the days pass without a rup-
ture.
Count Lamsdorff and some of the
other ministers were received in audi
ence by the emperor at Peterhof yes
terday, but the anticipated statement
was not given out, and probably none
will be.
The foreign office maintains COM
plete silence regarding the proceedings
at Portsmouth, and it is explained that
while Russia would be glad to accord
a great measure of publicity to the re-
suits of the deliberations, Japans atti-
tude on this point necessitates the
avoidance of any statement or COM
ment regarding the negotiations.

81 eating five million francs (Sl,000

against Venezuela have been allowed
by Frank Plumley, of Northfield, as
referee, to whom they have been re,

I'r. Jose De Paul.
Eight cases involving claims of for

the government of Venezuela were
submitted to Mr.. Plumley. OF the
eight cases two were dismissed for

MAY TAKE A HAND
IN GRAIN FIGHT
BETWEEN THE WISCONSIN AND
MINNESOTA INTERESTS.
10 Claimed to BE Unjust
Discrimination.

Superior, Wis, Aug. 15.-It is very
probable that the Wisconsin rate COM
mission will be asked to take a hand
In the fight which is now on between
the Wisconsin and Minnesota grain in
terests and their allies.
The Northern Pacific road announced
new rule yesterday which the Su-
perior board of trade men cain is un-
just discrimination, and threaten to
take action on these grounds If the
road makes an attempt to enforce the
new ruling of its officials at the head
of the lakes.
The objectional clause in the rule,
and upon which the claims of unjust
discrimination are chiefly based, pro-
vides for extra switching charges for
certain cases where Wisconsin inspec-
tion of grain is used. In case wheat
or other grain is brought here for Wis
cOnsin inspection, and then taken to
a Duluth elevator a charge CT S1.50 per
car additional is to be charged.
The inconsistency of the case, as
pointed cut by the Superior board of
trade people, is that the rule does not
provide for an extra switching charge
for grain inspected in Minnesota by
the inspectors from Duluth, and then
sent to the Superior mills o.elevators
The matter probably will be carried
to the rate commission of the state.

CROP SUMMARY
Weekly Report Issued by the Weather
Bureau.

Washington, Aug 15.-The weather
bureaus weekly crop summary, issued
at noon today, follows:
Spring wheat has done we'll only
Slight injury from rust being reported.
Under high temperatures the crop has
ripened rapidly, some of the early
sown having been harvested in North
Dakota. Cutting is well advanced in
Central Minnesota ana northern South
DakCtl, and is practically finished in
the southern portions of these states
and in Iowa and Nebraska. In Ore
son spring wheat has been badly
shriveiled in the Willamette valley,
where the yields are disappointing.
The reports continue to indicate an
excellent outlook for corn throughout
the central valleys, lake region and
Middle Atlantic states. Rain has af-
forded relief in the Ohio valley, and,
while the crop in portions of Illinois,
Missouri and Nebraska was in need of
rain at the close of the week, the
weather map of August IA shows that
coed rains have occurred where need
ed in the two first mentioned states.
Early ccrn is now practically made in
the southern portions OF Kansas and
Missouri.
Only a small portion of the oat crop
in the extreme northern districts re-
mains unharvested. Threshing is
well advanced and all reports indicate
satisfactory yields.
AS in the previous week, the least
favorable reports respecting cotton are
received from the eastern districts,
where the prevalence of rus, and she'd
ding continues. During the past week
q large part of the central and eastern
portions of the cotton belt has received
from to inches of rain, which has
proved injurious, and in northern Ala
bama and portions of Mississippi, Lou
but in other portions of these states
the crop has deteriorated. In Okla
homa, Indian Territory, Arkansas and
Missouri cotton has generally i'm
proved, although local complaints of
shedding, rust and insect are received
from Alabama.
The apple outlook continues un-
changed, very poor crop being indi-
Gated in nearly all the apple producing
states.
