ISLAND EMPIRE is VERY CAUTIOUS
WILL NOT SACRIFICE HER Sue
CESS IN BATTLE IN DIPLo
MATIc CONFLICT.

Washington, June 15-Russia's for
NAL response to President Roosevelt's
appeal to the Far Eastern belligerents
for a a-cessation of hostilities has been
communicated to the Toxic govern
ment by the president. The note writ
ten by Count Lamsdorff, by direction
of Emperor Nicholas, and handed by
the minister of foreign affairs to Am
bassador Meyer at st. Petersburg, was
placed in turn in the hands of Minister
Takahira by the president and trans
mitted by Mr.. Takahira to Toxic. The
president is in hourly expectation that
a response may be received from the
Japanese government.
Doubt is expressed in important
quarters whether the Russian response
is satisfactory to Japan. The govern
ment of the Island empire is wary of
Its big European antagonist and has
indicated its intention Of not sacrific-
ing it's dearly bought victories at arms
in the conflict of diplomacy which now
is being Waged. Minister Takahira is
inclined to look askance at that part
of the Russian note which reads:
AS for an eventual meeting of Rus
sian and japanese plenipot
charged with ascertatning how far it
would be possible for the two powers
to elaborate conditions of peace the
imperial government would have no
objection in principle to such an at
tempt if the Japanese government ex-
pressed desire therefor =
Japan,s Position Made Clear.
Japan has indicated plainly that If
there is a conference between It's
plenipotentiaries and those of Russia
it must be held with a definite under
standing that sincere effort to reach
a permanent peace agreement is to be
made. She is willing to talk business
with Russian negotiators empowered
to do likewise, but she does not pro-
pose to permit any unusual strings to
be attached to the Russian conferees
strings which may be pulled to her
ultimate disadvantage. An American
official expressed in few words ia
pans position:
If Russia is sincere in her desire
for peace. peace can be arranged; IL
not Japan is ready to go on with the
war
No suggestion of serious hitch in
the peace negotiations is made at this
moment. Such inquiries as are possi-
BILE to make at this writing have elic- I
tied assurances that the situation is
favorable for an amicable arrangement
of the peace conference. The negotia-
tions now have to do with the selection
of a location for the conference and
the number OF plenipotentiaries. These
details may be adjusted satisfactorily
Soon, although it is pointed out that
the negotiations may be prolonged for
several days. Assurance is given at
the White House that as soon as ar
rangements shall have been COM
pleted a formal announcement of their
purport will be published to the world.

RECOGNITION OF NORWAY.
President Appealed to by Natives Of
That Country.

Washington, June 15.--Norwegia
residents Of the United States have
appealed to President Roosevelt for
mally to recognize the new govern
ment of their country Senator Dolli-
yer of Iowa called on the president
during the day and presented to him
a memorial adopted by the delegates
to the Norwegian musical festival re-
Gently held at Fort Dodge, Ia, urging
him to recognize the diplomatic and
consular officers appointed by Norway.
II the president should accede to this
request it would mean the recognition
Of the new government by the United
States. 1t may be several weeks be-
fore determination of the question
will have to be made It is the uu-
derstanding here that Norway will ask
recognition as a nation from all the
civilized countries of the world. So
far as can be ascertained no protest
yet has been made to this government
by Sweden against the recognition of
Norway, but it is believed not unlikely
that such protest will be made.

BOYCOTT OF AMERICAN GOODS.
Misconception by Chinese of American
Intentions.
Peking, June 15.-The agitation and
proposed boycott of American goods
by Chinese merchants is apparently
based upon misconception by the
Chinese Of American intentions in re-
gard to the exclusion act. Both Chi
nese and Americans are agreed upon
the point that the exclusion of coolies
is the chief matter under considera-
ton and that the act deals with the
treatment of other classes. A discus
sion Of the subject will be necessarily
prolonged and to arrange aneW con-
vention will take time. Mr. Rockhill,
the American minister, has assured
the Chinese that Americas intentions
are fair and conciliatory and the Chi
nese board of foreign affairs is ap-
parently satisfied upon the subject
The public are somewhat alarmed,
hence the boycott.
This movement is unlikely to attain
any serious proportions, although it is
significant, indicating the Importance
which is attached by the Chinese to
the questions involved in the Ameri
can exclusion act.

Museum Of Peace and War,

A strange museum has been found
ed at Lucerne. 1t is entitled the
Museum of Peace and War and is
intended as complete history of
war from the earliest times. The
contents are, warlike arms of all
ages and nations, books, prints rep
resenting the horrors of war in their
most realistic aspect and everything
that can throw a candid light upon
a grim subject. The founder of the
museum is NJ. Jean de Bloch, a
wealthy Pole who is philanthropic
and perhaps little eccentric, and he
has chosen Lucerne for the site as
being the place most likely to at
tract the largest number of ,cosmo-
politan visitors.

The Locomotive as a Coal Eater.

The total coal production Of the
United States is now at the rate of
100000 tons per day, and the con-
sumption of coal by railroads is
equal to 40 per cent of this, or 400,-
900 tons per day. The fuel bill of a
railroad contributes about 10 per
cent of the total expense of opera
ton and 80 to 40 per cent of the
total cost of running the locomo-
tives. A locomotive will consume
on an average $4,000 worth of coal
per annum, and for a road having
an equipment of 1000 locomotives
the coal bill is approximately ST.

them more than two feet in diane

THE CURE FOR WORRY.
Live One Day at . Time and Take
Short Views Of Life.


Short Views Of Life.
Worry is one of the worst curses
Of modern life. / say Of modern life,
! not because people thousand years
ago did not worry, because as civil
lization advances men become more
highly strung, more sensitive and
less capable of detachment. Thus
I'VE often say in a very expressive
phrase that a thing 'sgets upon our
nerves" Something distressing hap
pens to US, and we cannot shake it
off. Some one treats us rudely,
harshly or unkindly, and the word or
deed rankles in our minds. We think
it over till it is magnifcd into a
grievous and intentional insult. We
take it to bed with us, and no sooner
is the light put out than we begin
to recall it and turn over in our
minds all the circumstances that oc-
casioned it. We sleep feverishly,
haunted all the time with the sense
of something disagreeable. We wake,
and the accused thing is still ran
king in our minds. This is one
form Of worry, which is very COM
mon among people of sensitive
minds.
Another form of worry is the tend
ency to brood over past errors. The
business man or the public man is
suddenly overwhelmed with the con-
viction that he has made an awful
mess of things. The worst of all
calamities is the lack of energy to
grapple with calamity, and in most
cases it is worry that breaks down
mans energy.
A third and perhaps more COM
mon form of worry is the gloomy
anticipation of future scalamities
There are some men who, however
happy they may be today, are per.
petually frightening themselves with
the possibilities of a disastrous to-
morrow. They live in terror. When
actual sorrow comes upon us most
Of us discover unexpected resources
of fortitude in ourselves. But moth
ing sickens the heart so much as i'm
agined sorrow. Of this form of
worry we may well say, otis wick
edw
/ have no doubt that most of my
readers know by experience what
some Of these things mean. No
doubt also many Of them have many
real causes for anxious thought, and
they will ask me how l propose to
deal with it. One Of the best ways
is to be content to live day at a
time. Sydney Smith counsels US
with rich wisdom to take short views
of life. Each day is an entity in it.
self. It is rounded off by the gulf
of sleep; it has its own hours which
will never return; it stands separate,
with its own opportunities and
pleasures. Make the most of them.
Another good and simple rule is
never to take our griefs to bed with
us. easy to say, but how difficult
to do" will be replied. But it is
largely matter of will and habit.
John Wesley once said that he
would as soon steal AS worry, for
each was equally sin. To worry is
wasteful and foolish; we have also
to recollect that it is wicked.-W. j.
