MERELY
MENTIONED.

The Pagan campaign managers are
doing a lot of guessing as to whether or
not Col. Dickinson intends making a
public reply to Mayor Fagan's attack of
last week in which he charged the Re
publican leader with being on the payroll
of the Public Service Corporation, and
asking him to prove thai he was not.
They are hoping that the Coione will
remain silent They fear the effect of
another such broadside as the Colonel
lanhbasted Pagan with at the start Of
the controversy. Friends of Gplonel
Dickinson say he does not intend TO let
the Mayor get away with any of this
bluffs that he is against corporations and
that he holds principle above party, and
that before the campaign is much older
he will prove to the satisfaction OF the
people that Fagan is no more sincere
in his opposition to corporations than he
is in his advocacy of Equal Taxathion.

SUMMARY OF MOST IMPORTANT
EVENTS AT HOME AND
ABROAD.
THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST
Progress of Peace Negotiations Be-
tween Russia and Japan-Foreign
and Domestic Items Of Interest
Told in Brief.
THE PEACE CoNFERENCE,

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Russia's reply to the Japanese terms
Of peace were delivered by NJ. Witte
to Baron Komura. Upon the two cru
eial points, indemnity and the cession
Of the island Of Sakhalin, the reply is
an absolute non-possimus. Other
points are accepted as bases for dis
cussion. while still others are accepted
conditionally.
The ENJOYS have settled the first
three peace conditions, giving the Japs
preponderating influence in Corea, pro-
viding the open door in Manchuria and
ceGing the Chinese Eastern railroad in
China.
\ break in the peace negotiations
was narrowly averted when the SAX
halin issue was brought up. The dis
cussion was postponed. Diplomats
believe the ENJOYS will be able to ef-
feet a compromise, as both powers
seem anxious to conciliate.
Russia's attitude in the peace confer
e:.ce is attributed to pressure brought on
the car by the kaiser, who seeks to
block Japan and England in their plan
Tor controlling the far east by prevent
ing peace.
Japan has redeemed every pledge by
restoring Manchuria and the railroad to
China. declares the Picking correspond

!. Portsmouth, Aug. 10.-President
Roosevelt does not intend to allow the
peace conference to fail If it is in his
power to bring the negotiations to q
successful end. Last night he sent a
confidential man to Portsmouth with
q message to NJ. >Witte. The messen-,
ger will say to NJ. Witte that it is the
presidents earnest desire that he shall
send Baron Rosen or somebody in the
confidence of NJ. Witte and of equal
powers to Oyster Bay at once to see
the president The president has
made his message most urgent He
almost demands that NJ. Witte shall
send q representative to Oyster Bay.
The president is determined that the
peace conference shall not end in a.
break If he can bring about peace, and
it is understood here that he has a
most pressing communication for NJ.
Witte and the peace conference.
The president has been in constant
receipt Of reports of the press confer
ence. He knows that tonight, as mat
tiers stand, there can be no peace. He
will urge on the Russians that they
shall ask the car to recede from the
position they have taken on the four
points in dispute and thus give the
mikado a way to make concessions al
so and end the war. A reply from NJ.
Witte is expected early tomorrow, as
soon as the messenger reaches Ports
mouth. 1t is expected that NJ. Witte
grant the request of the president and
send either Baron Rosen or some other
influential member of his suite.
Just after midnight President Roose-
velt brought to close a long and inn
portant conversation by telegraph
with Assistant Secretary OF State
Pierce, who is at Portsmouth. Mr..
Pierce declined to discuss the CONVEX
sation.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Au; 1o.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's only visitor yesterday
was Baron Kaneko, who studiouslv
conceals his precise mission, but it is
known to be confidential representa-
tive in this country of the Japanese
government This was his fourth visit
to the president in few weeks, and
the second within week. Reasons
developed yesterday for the statement
that Baron Kaneko's call had relation
to the peace proceedings at Ports
mouth, although it appears reasonably
certain he did not come as the repre-
sentative of the Japanese ENJOYS

STRIKE CALLED OFF.
Break in Ranks Of Striking Tele-
graphers Causes a Complete
Calling Off. 80;

Minneapolis, Aug. 10 The strike of
telegraphers on the Great Northern
was called off by the president of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers.
This action was taken as the result
of a break in the ranks of the strikers
Thursday. A vote was taken Thurs
day night and Friday morning by tele-
graph and a ma ority ofsthe men were
in favor of ending the strike. Asa re-
suit, President Perham issued orders,
yesterday afternoon, officially calling
the strike off.
According to the strikers, the Great
Northern offered the men greately in
creased pay. President Perham states
that it was this offer of the road which
caused the men to break away and re-
turn to work.
He received kilograms stating that
the railroad was circulating the report
that the strike was called off. He inn
mediately telegraphed the strike chair
man on the different divisions, telling
them to take a vote by telegraph on
their divisions, to determine whether

1t is understood that on the Great
Northern the majority of the men
were in favor of ending the trouble.
President Perham claims that the Of
fer of the Great Northern to the men
was better than the men had demanded
and that the increased pay amounts
not only to the original demands of
the strikers, but in some cases is $40 a
month more. . . ..~..
On the Northern Pacific it has not
yet been determined whether or not
the strike shall end. A vote is being
taken, and it is possible that the strike
will be continued there.

The plan supported by Grc,t Britain
for Prince Charles of Denmark to
ascend the Norwegian throne has
failed, according to information from
Copenhagen. The expectation Is that
Norway will establish a republic
King Edward referred to the Norwe-
ian movement of independence in his
speech from the throne, using the fol-
lowing language: IA dissolution of the
union between Sweden and Norway
apparently is imminent l am conf
dent that, by the exercise of wise
moderation on each side, settlement
will be arrived at which will be ac-
ceptable to both countries
The exact vote on the question of
dissolving the union seems to have
been 36s, 200 votes in favor of diss olu-
ton and 1874 against it. This was the
most one-sided election in the history
OF the world.
A cablegram from nristiania says:
Premier Nicholson, upon returning to
Kristiania from trip to Bergen, re-
ceived a tremendous ovation. He said
in part: 1--WE intend to frame COM
munic ,tion to Sweden in such a way
that If she desires speedy settlement
it can be obtained. We hope that
Sweden will not insist upon for:nali-
ties which might prevent a friendly
settlement. If she does, we can pro-
coed without Sweden's assistance
When it was settled that a vote
was to be taken on the question of
the dissolution of the union Premier
Nicholson left Kristiania to take a
vacation at Bergen. Mr.. Lovland,
minister of foreign affairs. was at the
head of the government during the
premier's absence.

The Swedish Norwegian society in
Copenhagen is not able to accomplish
anything on account Of the Norwegian
declaration of independence, and it
may have to be dissolved next fall
The constitution provides that in case
OF dissolution the property Of the So
c'ety shall be divided equally 'be-
tween the ambassador and the consul
general of the United Kingdoms at
Copenhagen" in order that they may
use the properly for the benefit of the
society. Now that both of these func~
tionaries are Swedes there is apt to be
friction.
One of the demands of the Swedish
riksdag with regard to the dissolution
OF the union is that the Notifications
built by Norway along the swedish
boundary line be abolished The Nor
wegian Socialdemokraten makes the
startling assertion that the Norwe-
gians will rae the fortifcations- 90
the sole condition that general suf-
frage be introduced in Sweden The
explanation gwen Oy the paper 1Or
this statement is that the Norwegians
trust the common people OF Sweden,
and that there will be no danger when
they are permitted to run the country;
but that the Norwegians cannot trust
the aristr cracy by which Sweden is
ruled at the present time.
