BULLETIN.

Ri Portsmouth, Aug. 22.-At o'clock
3oday a personal representative OF
President Roosevelt was closeted with
sMr, Witte and Baron Rosen IN the
naval general stores at the navy yaro.
San appointment for the conference
gmas made thru Secretary Pierce last
might. 1t is not yet known who the
4emissary of the president Is.
The conference, which was suppos-
ed to have begun at 1880 ended at
IA 10. Witte and Rosen entered an auto
I mobile and returned to the hotel. The
presidents messenger remained pc
hind in the naval stores building ano
Nunched with Secretary Pierce. The
greatest care has been taken to prevent
the fact of secret meeting from being
made public 1t has been intimated
that Witte and Rosen had gone to
York Hartor, for ride. The true
feason for postponement Of today's ses-
sion of the conference is now apparent
Witte and Rosen were with Pierce
Iii the nav.f yard from 1890 a. M, 70
10 o. M, which is believed to make
1t probable the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries wer,. in communication with the
president at Oyster Bay. The supposl- i
I fion is the message sent by the presl-
dent was the result of Baron kaneko
visit to Oyster Bay yesterday. the
messenger from President Roosevelt
was named McGaw. He brought a
message in. writing from the president
for the Russian ENJOYS.

France Inclined to Hold Aioof from
the Peace Negotiations.
Paris, Aug. ga feeling of deep
solicitude prevails concerning the cri-
sis at Portsmouth, which officials ex-
pect will continue for some days, pend
ing the last desperate efforts to avert
a rupture. The view in official quar-
ters took a discoura:ying turn appar-
entity as result of confidential advices
thru official Russian sources. 1t is
semi i-officially announced the special
cabinet council to be held Thursday
will be confined to topics concerning
Morocco and fixing Of a date for re-
assembling of parliament. Omission
of any reference to the peace negotla- :
tions is ominous Of growing DISPOSE
ton to hold aloof from profitless in
tervention. The prevailing view among
officials. is that Roosevelt, having in
initiated the movement, should cope
with the difficulties without outside in
reference.

SYMPATHY FOR cURzoN.
kitcheners Friends Jubilant Over His
Victory.

Silma, British India, Aug. %. -
Among the public sympathy is ex-
pressed for Lord Curzon of Kedleston,
yicerov of India, who for eight weeks
has been confined to his bed, from
which he conducted his fight against
the cabinet single handed. There is
widespread refret that he has felt him
self obliged to resign despite the al
most unanimous support of the press
and commercial bodies.
Friends of Lord Kitchener are jubi-
liant and the commander-in-chief of
the forces now stands at the de facto
viceroy, with his prestige greatly en-
HANGED. In the opinion of the natives
Lord Kitchener's power is supreme.
The earl of Mimic recently governor
general of Canada, will be Lord Cur
zon's successor. The resignation Of
Lord Curzon was not surprise be-
cause of his unfortunate controversy
with Lord Kitchener over the new
plans for the army administration of
India. The difference between the VIC
eroy and the ommander-i chief OF
the Indian army reached a crisis when
the cabinet refused to appoint Major
General Sir Edmund Barrow, on Lord
Curzon's recommendation, military
supply member of the council.

QUAKE SHAKES ST. LOUIS.
Hundreds Are Reused From Sleep by
the Vibrations.

st. Louis, Aug. 22.-Hundreds OF
persons were startled from sleep here
shortly before midnight, by an earth
quake which caused buildings to trem-
Bile, dishes to rattle and lamps to fall
The shock was of short duration but
must have had the center OF Its force
at this city. The vibrations were dis
tinctly felt in the business distr1cts
Guests in the large hotels rushed to
the streets when the rumble accom-
panied by tremors was felt thrreut the
buildings.
To persons walking along the out
skirts of the city where metropolitan
noises had ceased, the shock was felt
distinctly, and many persons sprang
from their beds in dread.
The effects of the quake were more
keenly appreciated here because Of the
fear produced by the cyclone which IN
1896 proved so disastrous At the hrst
tremor last night memories OF the
great storm almost a panic resulted,
people rushing from their homes into
the street in terror.
On the water front those on board
the boats felt the quake, and were as
founded by the peculiar appearance OF
the surface Of the water.
Reports show the earthquake shock
was general over the whole Mississ-
ippi valley as far south as Cairo.

Governor Cummins' mail since the
Chicago conference has been burdened
with letters asking for his picture for
short articles and long articles on the
tariff question. and letters of congrat-
ulation on his address. One magazine
wants his picture for the front page for
the coming issue and a 500 word article.
An Indiana newspaper wants a long
article. The editor writes he has been
coming to the governors way of think
ing on the tariff question for some
time, and heard the address at Chicago,
but wants some more information. The
great favor with which the governors S
address has been received all over the
country has been very gratifying to
the governors friends.
Governor Cunmins has speaking
dates up to September 8. and after
that expects to be able to take a short
vacation. The summers work has been
very busy one for the governor but
the favorable manner in which he has
been received everywhere has at the
same time been very gratifying. There
is great deal of difficult work in ad-
vance for him, however, and the work
during the next session of the legis-
lature will be especially combining and
at the same time important. For this
reason the governors friends are urg
ing him to take advantage Of an OPP
portunity during the coming month to
take well deserved rest.

Steamer Athos Arrives at New York
In Tow Of the Atai-Started on Six
Days Voyage, When Machinery
Broke, and She Has Drifted Since
July 80 at Mercy Of Storms and
Famine.
New York, Aug. 22.-The steamer
Athos, seventeen days late, with eight
passengers and cargo Of rotted ba-
nanas and with the bones of half eat
en- sharks on board to indicate the per-
lis Of her voyage, arrived at the Scot
land lightship last night. On July 80
the Athos left Port Antonio, Jamaica,
for New York, six days voyage with
provisions in plenty. When three hours
out, the eccentric rod on the engine
broke, and from that hour until last
Sunday, preceding sometimes only an
hour per day under her own steam the
Athos drifted at the mercy of storms,
in constant danger of famine and once
without drinking water, receiving sup
plies from time to time off passing
vessels, until August 20, the disabled
steamer gave up and signalled Jle
steamer Altai for tow. This steamer
brought the Athos to New York.
The passengers of the Athos, on
landing today, reported that the fam
inc caused small mutinies among the
ships crew of eighteen Cinnamon. A
hal ofa
fight, but the officers and passengers
were not seriously menaced. At one
time the only water to be had was
ocean brine, which had been boiled and
condensed. One swallow day to each
person was all that this process fur
nished.

REFoRMERs ARRESTED.
Russian Educators Charged With op

st. Petersburg, Aug. 22.-P. N. Mo-
lulsoff, professor of Russian history in
the University of ST. Petersburg; Pro-
fessor T. n. Denissivith, and many
others, all identified with the reform
movement, were arrested at their resi-
dences Sunday night by the police and
are now in prison. Altogether there
were seventeen political arrests most
ly of professors, advocates, physicians,
and architects. The reason given by
the police for the arrests is that the
prisoners were arranging for a meeting
to condemn the imperial manifesto.
Their contention is that they were
simply planning to continue the reform
campaign. The arrests have created a
sensation in ST. Petersburg.
