Salt Lake City.-Ihe Herald says:
A plan TO make productive a tract OF
from 10000 to 10000 acres OF remark

River. Utah. is under consideration by
number of well known Utah men
who have already gone SO far as TO

Joseph II. Young. now Of Denver; Col.

The land in view lies largely to the

RUSSIA WILL NOT
PAY INDEMNITY
Nevertheless Japan Will Insist
Upon All the Demands
Presented.
Poor Prospects Of Peace 80 Long AZ
Japan Insists Upon Russia Paying
All the Expenses Of the War.

Portsmouth, N. H.-Russia's reply
to the Japanese terms has been de
livered by NJ. Witte to Baron Komura,
The reply Is written, there being two
texts--one In French, the other In
English. Upon the two crucial points,
indemnity and the cession or the
island OF Sakhalin, the reply is an alb
solute non-possimus. other points are
accepted as basis for discussion, while
others are accepted condltionally. The
reply is rather long, because In emu
merating conditions upon which discus
sion is admitted, and those on which
consideration Is declined. reasons and
arguments are given. The Japanese
plenipotentiaries are expected to ask
for an immediate adjournment TO ex'
anime and prepare their reply. NJ.
witte will probably intimate that the
Russian plenipotentiaries expect the
Japanese to display as much expedi'
ton as they (the Russians) have
shown In the preparation OF their re-
sponse."
The tactics OF the Japanese are In
scrutable. They have shown through
out the war their ability to guard their
secrets, military. naval and diplo-
matte. and now not the rcmotest clue
comes from behind their closed doors
as to whether they are prepared to
make substantial concessions. Silence
and secrecy are their watchwords.
But II the conditions as submitted
constitute their last word, hope OF
peace may be regarded as having dis
appeared II tho feeling reflected In
Russian circles Is true criterion.
And that no substantial concessions
on the main issues will be made is the
belief both In Russian and Japanese
circles.

DISSOLUTION OF UNION
IS REGARDED INEVITABLE
The Norwegian People Have Decided
to Cut Loose From Sweden and
Remain Under Rule Of
Monarch.

Christiania.-The Norwegian peo-
pie. in a referendum vote taken Mon
day, pronounced in favor Of the disso-
luton OF the union with Sweden with
remarkable though not unexpected
unanimity. OF 100000 voters, 100000
cast ballots. About one person in g.
900 voted against the dissolution. The
difference between the total number
OF voters and the number OF votes cast
is attributable to absentees. such as
sailors abroad and others who are out
of the country at present.
One OF the members of the cabinet
said: "The result surpasses the most
sanguine expectations. The next Of
ficial steps will be taken after the
storthing meets on August 81, when
the result OF the plebiscite will be
communicated to Sweden through the
Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The
storthing will repeat the request that
the riksdag declare the riksdag In
operation and the union dissolved.
The storthing will also express a will
ingness to negotiate concerning the
details of the dissolution. It is the
earnest desire of Norway to conclude
the dissolution amicably. Norway will
never retract, but everything will be
done to meet the wishes of Sweden in
other directions. II peace depends
upon abolishing the forts. they will be
abolished. Norway must remain
monarchy; the people do not desire a
republic"

JAPANS TERMS ARE MADE KNOWN

negotiations and constitutes the main
hope that a final agreement is posi-
BILE.
The other terms are substantially
what the world expected and, with
one or two exceptions. could probably
be entertained as basis OF negotia-
lions. They include the following:
The cession OF the Russian leases to
the Lao Tung peninsula. comprising
Port Arthur and Dalny. The evacua-
ton Of the entire province OF Man.
churia, the retrocession to China OF
any privileges Russia may have in the
province and the recognition by Rus
STA OF the principle of the open door. "
The cession TO Japan of the Chinese
Eastern railway below Hardin, the
main line through northern Manchuria
to Vladlvostok to remain Russian
property. The recognition OF the Jap
anese protectorate over Korea. The
grant of fishing rights in Siberia
northward from vladivostok. The re-
linquishment to Japan OF the Russian
warships interned in neutral ports.
As a whole these terms are regard
ed as exceedingly hard in the eyes
OF the Russians. In addition to the
two principal conditions. which cannot
be accepted under NJ. Whites instruc.
tons. those relating to Russian naval
power in the far east and the granting
OF fishing rights upon Russian littoral
are considered particularly offensive
to the amour propre OF their country
and OF such a humiliating character as
to be inadmissible.

Russian Commander Refused to Leave

follows:
There were several Russian Of

worthy was the conduct of Captain

attacks and finally completely dis.

The vessel was sinking and Cap
tain Rodionoff sent seventy OF the
crew to land at Tsushima, remaining

gator. When the Japanese approached
the sinking vessel they asked the cap
tain to leave the vessel. but he re-
fused. The Japanese boarded the YES
sci and endeavored to drag him into a
boat, but he resisted. The ship was
listing badly and threatened momen-
tarily to plunge into the sea. The
Japanese were forced to draw of and
the captain went below. to there meet
his death. Suddenly the ship went
down and our men thought the gal
liant officer was drowned. But provi-
dence willed otherwise. We found the
captain and navigator In the water
locked in each others arms. They had
embraced at what they thought was
the moment OF death and were partly
unconscious when we rescued them"
