Up to Hinder--A Slight
Disagreement.

The Japanese envoys are exhibiting
unusual caution in drawing up the
treaty. Their previous diplomatic re-
lations with the Russians have been
such as to forewarn them OF dangers
lurking in loosely drawn documents.
Tbe Japanese explain their caution by
declaring that they came to Portsmouth
to make lasting peace, aud that lhey
propose to have it ii it Is within theH
power

hostilities reached Mr.. Witte last nigh1
in eableeram from Count Lamsdorh

Quit Northern League After
Yesterdays Games.
LEAVES BUT TWO TEAMS.
Results Will Not Affect Positions Of
Intercity and Burlington, Who
Play at Burlington
Today,

At meeting Of the directors Of the
Rutland Base Ball Association last even
inc the Rutland team in the Northern
league was disbanded for the season and |
withdrawn from the league. This leaves
only two teams, the Intereitys and Bur-
lingtou, to complete the schedule. The
president of the Rutland association re-
fused to make a detailed statement or
to give reason why the team is dis
banded There are several surmises
aiioat in Rutland, however.
One, and probably the chief, reason,
is that Rutland desires to assist the
Intereitys to win the pennant from the
Burlington team. BY being defeated
Yesterday and getting only a draw in
the second, Rutland lost all chance Of
being in the running with Burlington for
second place. Rutland and Burlington
have not been working in perfect har-
mony during the present season, and
the withdrawal OF the former team now
NAV be ascribed to that bad feeling.
Another reason advanced for the dis
banding is that from financial stand
point it would not be advisable to keep
! the men on the payroll through next
Monday when double-header IS sched-
uled to be played. Rutland has no
pames in the interim. The Rutland
team was promised half the gate re
ceipts Of the Labor Day games in Bur
lington.
The Rutland management announced
last night that the men would be pai'
of today. Doeseher will join the Har
risburg team in the Tri-state league
~Cyn Ferry will 90 to the Pacific coast
J where he has an offer from the Port
} land. Oregon, team.
The withdrawal Of Rutland leaves onl
the locals and Burlington as the SUI
vivors Of the league, and they will clos
the season with game on the Inter
lcity grounds tomorrow afternoon. Ihi
: afternoon the teams play at Burlington
The results of the two games will max
no difference iii the standing Of Il
league, the Intercitys being sure Of fir
