Russian Soldiers Celebrate Peace BY
Feasting and Singns-offieers
Holding Races.

| Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, Sept TO-
News having been received that
peace negotiations at Portsmouth are
approaching conclusion, the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press has
made a survey of all the Russian po-
stions from Mongolia to headquarters,
the object in part being to ascertain
the manner in which the efforts maxi
ing for peace were viewed by the
army.
The negotiations received no official
recognition in the field prior to their
successful conclusion, the army keep
ing in state of preparation for bat
tie until the receipt by General Line
witch of n telegram from Emperor
Nicholas declaring that the treaty had
been signed and that his majesty ac-
cepted the conditions arrived at.
This telegram was officially pub
lished In the army newspapers on Sep
tember 9Th. and the outlines of the
peace conditions were printed in the
same publication to-day. -
The officers tiereafted observed mil
itary decorum in the strlctest sense,
hut the soldiers, with the consent of
the officers, engaged in feasting and
other FORMS OF celebration. 1t will be
week more before the entire army
Is fully informed Of the conclusion OF
| peace, but the news was discounted
long since by the prevailing convic-
tion that since the appointment Of the
plenipotentiaries peace was fore
gone conclusion.
1t may be said that to the great
majority OF the officers and men so far
informed the news that the war is at
an end is most welcome. Thousands
are daily drinking to the health of
President Roosevelt. The corresnon'
dent, who is the only remaining for-
eign newspaper representative with
the Russian army, was everywhere
asked by the men if he was an Ameri-
can and on being answered in the
Affirmative. they captured him and
tossed him masy times in the air after
the manner Of the Cossacks, while
their officers gently protested against
the seemingly questionable form OF
their admiration.
Everywhere along the railway where
newspapers could be obtained soldiers
eagerly scanned the news and then eN-
pressed their JOY by singing, which
they continued late into tho night, at
intervals cheering for President Roose-
welt.

DEKOUNCE MINISTER'S
BIG MASS MEETING AT OSAKA
Japanese Cabinet Offers to Resign, but
Mikado Advises Members to
Retain Office.

Toxic, Sept. PA mass meeting at
Osaka passed the following resolution
without hindrance on the part Of the
police:
"The peace that has just been con.
cluded between Russia and Japan for
feits the fruits of victory and sows
seeds of future complications and dan
ger. The governments high-handed
and unconstitutional measure has re-
suited in unexpected disturbance to
the peace of the city in which the
Mikado resides. The empires honor
has been soiled and the spirit of the
constitution lost. Never has our coun-
try been brought to face greater dan
ger. Therefore, be 1t resolved. that we
hope that the humiliating peace agree
ment will be broken and the govern
ment will resign"
In accordance with established
usage. the Cabinet ministers have pre-
sented an official statement to the
mikado explaining the necessity of in
stituting martial law at the capital and
at the same time asking the imperial
judgment as to whether they should
remain in Office or retire.
The Emperor's reply. which was
made today. advises them to retain
their respective posts.
The special session of the privy
council to-day lasted four hours. No
bill was presented. only report from
the Cabinet ministers. Premier Kat
sura making an extended statement
of the peace negotiations.
According to the constitution, n
treaty with other powers requires to
be submitted TO the council before rati-
fication. 1t is unusual to hold spe-
cial sitting for simply making report
on diplomatic affairs before treaty
assumes n form ready for ratification.
and the sitting to-day, without spe-
cial bill was rather unexpected.
Opposition political parties have ap-
pointed an extensive committee to
fully report on sufferings alleged to
have been caused by the police dur
ing the recent rioting. The progress
sives and their local branches continue
to press resolutions against the gov
ernment. The Shiba branch condemns
the governments assumption of the
power to suspend newspapers. declar'
ing 1t to be wholly unconstitutional.
Quiet, however, prevails in Toxic.

FRUITFUL FURNACES
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES
PRECIOUS STONES.
Scientists Have Succeeded In Pluck
Ing Real Diamonds and Rubies from
the CrucibIe of the Furnace.

Recent advices from France state
that Prof. Moissan, the eminent sci
enlist and inventor. has actually sue
ceeded in making genuine diamonds
and rubies. lie employs for this pur-
pose the electric furnace, which has
been SO improved that a degree OF
heat can be produced, approaching the
extreme temperatures, which were un-
doubtedly factor in the formation OF
minerals and gems in the interior OF
the earth.
The rubies obtained are of large
size, weighing 10 or 10 carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found in the earth. The
natural forces attending the formation
OF diamonds seem to have been more
complicated, and so far the diamonds
resulting from the efforts OF the sell
entlsts have been very small. but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystalline diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright. and
on small scale as fine specimens as
natures own product.
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with whole series OF
new compounds. Probably the one OF
most value to mankind at large is Cal
cIum Carbide. The simple applica-
ton of water to Calcium Carbide gem
crates the gas Acetylene, which Is
now being commonly used for light
ing.
The peculiar merits of Acetylene
light are its ,brilliance and high can
die power, ease Of installation, eco
nomy and its adaptability for lighting
buildings of every description, regard

What Calls the Westerner.

One thing that annoys and humili-
ates a western man in New York City
is the way in which he Is herded with
the crowd. Out West man Is an in
dividual. He feels that he is some
body-a responsible citizen, factor
in the community, person more or
less worth while, entitled to q certain
amount of respect merely as a man,
and regardless of wealth or social po-
sition or political power. But in New
York. unless one is somebody very I'M
portant, he is nobody at all. He is n
mere unit in the mob, of no more mo-
ment than one ant in hill.-San Fran
