and the other two at Goldfeld.
All are indicted on several counts for
bribery and extortion and the State is
said to have unimpeachable evidence.
Charles r.. Levers of Reno. who Is
in Hawthorne in connection with tn
Young case. has been appointed speca
District Attorney to prosecute the o.
tenders.
The evidence presented to the Crane
Jury indicated that Davidson, Bell ano
Russell have been carrying on an un-
preeedented reign of blackman and ex
tortion at Goldheld.
The fallen women and other iawles
characters have been paying them reg
ular fees as bribes and a number OF
criminal cases are believed TO have been
dismissed by the precious trio upon the
payment of money.
" In one instance Davidson solicited and
received a 500 fee for securing the in

This is the second time Davidson and

FRANCES ASSISTANCE
Will Be Cheerfuly Given to Help the
Peace Mission.

Paris, Aug. 21.-Oftcials, both gov
crnmental and diplomatic, are appar-
emily preparing to lend every assis-
lance to avert the failure of the peace
negotiations at Portsmouth. Premier
Rouvier has suspended his vacation in
Switzerland for the purpose of attend
ing a special cabinet council. Thurs
day next. Mr.. Mccormick, the Ameri-
can amba ssador will return from
Carlsbad. Wednesday. for the purpose
of being ready to exercise any friendly
influences in his power. NJ. Jusserand,
the French ambassador at Washing
ton. woh is passing his vacation in
the country, will also return to Paris
in the middle of the week.
According to the foreign Office. Prem
Ter Rouviar's return has no direct con-
nection with the peace negotiations
However, it will afford him an oppor-
tunity to consider the situation at an
opportune moment, as it IS the expec-
tation that the crisis will be prolonged
tomorrow, while the plenipotentiaries
communicate with their respective gov
ernments regarding their inability to
agree.

THEY CANNOT TELL.
London Papers Of Tuesdsy, All at Sci
Over the Prospects.

London. Aug. 2l.-The morning news
papers are rot hopeful Of the result OF
today's peace conference at Portsmouth
and rather place reliance on President
Roosevelt to insure the prolonging OF
the negotiations.
1t Is felt here that unless the Presi-
dent of the United States is able to
prevent complete collapse of the ne
gotiations peace prospects are most re-
mote. since if the present conference
fails. it will be difficult to persuade the
belligerents to send plenipotentiaries
to another conference.
The Daily Telegraph says editorially
that:
'If President Roosevelt can keep the
ENJOYS in Portsmouth. something will
be gained. but if he fails In the role of
an homes st broker, not in the Bismarck
ian sense. but in the sense of one mani
testify seeking no commission for him
self or his country. who will succeed"

AN iMPERTINENCE
To Ask Japan to Modify Demands ls
the English View.

London. Aug. 21.-The Associated
Press was informed at the foreign Of
flee, today, that President Roosevelt
has not requested the British govern
ment to make representations to Japan
On the question of peace. The foreign
office thinks it would be impertinent
for the British government to request
Japan to modify her demands. The
government believes that these de-
mands are moderate and that Japan
should not be deprived of the fruits of
her victory.
The foreign office further said it did
not believe that Japan would modify
the terms put forward at the opening
Of the conference.
Official reports received by the gov
eminent from Russia take a gloomy
view of the situation. The members
of the British cabinet are divided, some
taking hopeful view and others be-
lieve that all hopes of peace has been
dissipated.

This Russian authority denied that the

was all He also said that along the
coast OF Sallhalin whales in considerable
numbers are found. These have been the
object of exploitation by American whale
catchers. Since the year 1865. he said,
Americans firms had often applied to
the local government for permission to

of the difficult internal condition of
Sakhaln, resulting, as ! said before,
from climatic condition and want Of
roads.
The insignificant military forces
which Russia had in the Island" he
continued, ARE another proof Of our
sincere belief in peace. We had not
made the least preparation for military
operations either offensive or defensive.

were chiefly for the purpose of guard

were kept in the island. and some OF

THE VALUE OF SAKHALIN.
Far Too Important for Russia to Think
Of Yielding II.

Portsmouth. n. H., Aug. 21-The fol-
lowing statement from an authoritative
source represents the Russian view OF
Island of Sakhal!n:
ITO appreciate its military value 1t
must be born In mind that the island.
which ts about Go miles long. lies almost
against the mainland being separated
from II by the strait of Tartary, which
in some places in only four miles wide.
Physically, 1t might almost be consider
ed a part of the Asiatic continent. To
allow Sakhain TO pass into the hands
of Japan. would be like America allow
ing Long Island, or England allowing
the Isle of Wight to pass into the pos
session of an ambitious foreign power.
The danger from Sakhalin passing to
Japan would indeed. be greater for
Russia than the loss of Long Island by
America, as THE length of Long Island
is scarcely one-fifth that of Sakhalin.
There is no doubt that whoever con-
trolls Sakhalin. besides being In n po-
sition to threaten and invade the Asia
tic coast would be in 4 position to alb
solutely prevent communication between
the sea of Japan. The island has an
area between 6O.000 and $500 kilometers,
and although its general shape is that
of a fish, at certain points. its width
is only Is miles. 1t Is, therefore peculiar
~ adapted for offensive and defensive
purposes. 1t could easily be transformed
into a formidable military and naval
stronghold from which expeditions
might be launched and efficiently sup
ported Little use has thus far been
made of the island. The population In

Aino and Guliaks races, and the exiles.
most of whom after their terms of ser
vitude, become settlers. amounts alto
gether to only 5000 souls. that is less
than one to the square mile.
Exploitation of the resources of the
island has been hampered by the rigor-
Gus climate. lack of communication. as
it is almost without roads. and by the
immense and almost inaccessible forests.
The development of its resources by
Russia was anticipated as consequence

st. Petersburg. Aug. 22.-1.40 A. Nj
The Russian government final commu-
nications to NJ. White, outlining the
course that he shall pursue at the reopen
ing of the peace conference at Ports
mouth, are still in process of being put
into cipher prior to being forwarded to
America. With the receipt OF st. Peters
burg'S last message the brief hrcat thing
spell will have ended St. Petersburg
leaves the final word with her representa-
tive at Portsmouth.
The Associated Press is in a position to
state that when the nature of these com
municationS becomes generally known, il
will be seen that in Il sincere desire to
effect 4 satisfactory settlement, the gov
errment has gone as far as its extremely
vital state interests will permit. 1t can
further be said that for this reason the
government is firmly convinced that in
case of failure Of the negotiations the
responsibility will not rest with Russia,
which has conceded much already.
While it is impossible to learn the act
ual contents of the government COM
munications to NJ Witte. it can be de-
clared that the requirements of the state
make concessions on the questions of in
dennity and Sakhalin, as these questions
We're originally presented by the Japanese.
