NOT A PENNY
FOR TRIBUTE
IN NO FORM WILL RUSSIA PAY
INDEMNITY.
MORE WAR Is PREFERABLE
ambassador Meyer Informs the Presi-
lent That the Only Concession Rus
Ha Will Make is Maintenance Of
Prisoners.


er communicated to President Roose-
welt Emperor Nicholas last word and
his ultimatum that Russia will moi
pay one penny Of indemnity to Japan
IN any guise whatsoever. Russia is
ready to agree to a. division Of Sax.
balm, Japan restraining that portion
previously belonging to her and Rus.
STA retaining the northern portion
Russia will pay for the maintenance
OF her prisoners but will make no 9th
er concession in addition to those al
ready made. If Japan does not &C
cede to these terms peace is impos-
sible and the war will continue.
Mr.. Meyer, the American ambassa-
dor, received number Of cablegrams
from Washington as the result OF
which he called on Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff. The foreign Office an
nounced that the situation was still
unchanged and that there had beer
no developments affecting Russia :
position. The Russ says:
cit is self-evident that Japan j.
greatly in need of money and that she
will not be able to continue the wal
without it but Russia has no reason
to pay an indemnity directly or in
directly and will not do so. It may
be that President Roosevelt Will be
able to find an outlet from the i'm
passe. Americans can work miracles
in matters of finance
The Novoe Vremya says:
"Cannot the fortunes Of war come
our way?" We have learned some
thing in the last eighteen months and
have strengthened our army and i'm
proved its equipment. If we pay an
indemnity Japan will use our money
to deliver new blow. If the war Is
a burden to Japan, let her stop it. 1t
would pay her to do so and would
insure a long peace both for Japan
and all her benevolent creditors.
An Appeal to Rockefeller.
Paris. Owing to the report from
Portsmouth indicating that peace be-
tween Japan and Russia hinges solely
on Russia paying an indemnity to ia
pan, the Matin has cabled a remark
able appeal to John D. Rockefeller
at Cleveland O.
The cable in part is as follows:
The question Of money threatens
to unloose afresh and with redoubled
violence the scourge of war. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is making noble and
heroic efforts to end struggle be-
tween two nations whose populations
amounts to one-seventh of the entire
population Of the globe. His initiative
honors America In the opinion of CIV
ilized nations.
The question arises as to whether
any other American would not share
the glory Of Mr.. Roosevelt and COM
plete his work by overcoming the sole
obstacle now hindering peace. He
would thus demonstrate the might OF
money in powerful and generous
hands.
"The Matin constituting itself
spokesman for this sentiment, adj
dresses the richest citizen in the
world
The appeal concludes with lengthy
argument showing the imense benefits
such an act would confer upon civil
zation.
Cleveland, O.-Mr. Rockefeller de-
lined to make any statement concern
ing the cablegram from the Paris Ma
tin which had been received at Forest
Hill, his summer home.

Special Mission for LOOMS.

Washington. Assistant Secretary
LOOMS expects to leave Washington
on a vacation which he will spend
probably on some Of the Canadian
fishing streams. 1t is possible that up
on his return to Washington, Mr.
LOOMS will relinquish his post as as
sistant secretary Of state to under
take a special mission to Brazil in con
nection with the preparation OF GER
tain trade treaties in which the presi-
dent is very much interested. 1t IS not
tht intention, however, that Mr..
LOOMS should remain in Brazil as a
resident ambassador as the climate is
by no means adapted to his health.

The new school book law is not
working as smoothly as it was expect
ed. The trouble is with the sub-de-
position The state deposition gets
twenty per cent on the books and al
lows the sub-depositors ten per cent,
the sub to pay freights and other ex-
penses. Quite a number Of counties
are without repositories on this ac-
count, good business men refusing to
accept such terms. The only thing
to do is for the state depository to put
in a supply Of its own to furnish the
books. A number Of the papers insist
that it is the greatest truct ever forced
on the state and are demanding that
the law be remedied in this particular
as well as in a few others where it is
unsatisfactory.

Here is an item of interest to people
IN almost every section Of the state !:

and are the basis Of title to all lands
purchased from the government. They

which you correspond notice to this
effect.
"FRED COLLINS, Register. !"
This notice means more than is in
dlcated on its face. It means that
IN the State of Mississippi there are
more than sixty thousand pieces Of
land Of which the title has never beer
perfected. Mr.. Collins say that for
owners to secure these patents, all
that IS necessary is to certify that the
original receipt has been lost or de-
stroyed and that the party applying
IS the owner Of the land. It might be
well for those who own land that came
from the government to give the
matter some attention to prevent trou-

AN ENGLISH GARDEN ROOM
Useful and Attractive Treatment for
Room Opening on Garden.

The garden room is suggestion that
will appeal to the suburbanite, the
country dweller or the city resident so
fortunate as to possess garden. The
idea is an English one, but the sugges-
ton is practical bne for jewellers in
this land. The plan is to make more
slightly the room, sometimes of fair size,
again mere box, leading directly into
the garden. When of fair size it might
readily be transformed into a combina-
ton sitting room and tearoom, instead
OF the storehouse for the bats, golf
sticks, tennis racquets and other sport
ing paraphernalia, not to mention hats
and coats, that it often is.
In many instances the entrance to the
garden is thru French window. AS
an Improvement, 1t is suggested that
long. low windows be placed on either
side of the door, so as to let as much
garden be seen from the room as posi-
BILE. These windows should have win
dow seats, with drawers or shelves I'M
derneath, to contain bulbs, seeds and
other garden things of the kind. a
room such as the originator of the plan
devised has a corner cupboard, which,
when opened, displays a sink and tap,
which is useful for washing and water
ing plants, and over this there is a shelf
curtain which hides the sink is made
of stenciled holland to match the cush-
ion covers; the window curtains are
also of holland. The small panels in
the cupboard are of hammered copper
and the hinges and handles on the
dresser are of the same metal. The red
brick floors, giving a warm glow to
| the whole, is in strong contrast with
| the green outside and is easily cleaned.
A polished wood floor shows dust very
| quickly and does not give at all the
same result.
| The scheme Of color for this room is
brick red, turning into coppery and
golden browns. the frieze being plain
deep cream. Golden and gray browns
should be the dominant colors in the
rugs and green in any large quantities
should be avoided, because of the back
ground of natures green. This is the
reason, too, why conventional, rather
than naturalistic designs are to be pre-
ferred in such a room, and why natur-
alistic flower patterns on wallpapers,
carpets or rugs must always be avoided.

BIG DEALS OF THE WEEK
Two Notable Transactions, One Down

ton to the Minikahda club grounds.
The first deal was the transfer of
the William Harrison homestead and
the adjoining lot to- G. H. Petit. Aside
from the size. Of the sale, $4,000, the
transaction has a significance in con-
nection with the late purchase of two
other corner properties at the same
point: The first Of the latter deals for
the New England Furniture & Carpet
company for business purposes, the
second was for the Minneapolis club
for home site and the third made

The three transactions make an in
