RUSSIA PREPARING ...
FOR THE STRUGGLE
TROOPS TO BE HURRIED TO THE
FRONT.
Peace Is Impossible, Says Prince
WoIkonsky-Russia Will Never
cede Territory Nor Pay
Tribute.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-A Daily News
special Cablegram from st. Petersburg
says That the war is to continue is
indicated by the feverish activity shown
everywhere in preparing for the su-
preme struggle. Four hundred SOL
diers of every Guards regiment left
yesterday for the front. Half a mil
lion troops that participated in the
summer manoeuvres are available for
duty in Manchuria, and large propor-
ton of them are to be dispatched
thither as rapidly as possible. They
will be replaced in the Russian garri-
sons by the regular fall conscription.
Twelve thousand cars and three hun
dred locomotives have been hired in
Austria and Germany to convey men
and supplies to the war.
Prince Khilkoff, minister of railways,
is personally hurrying to completion
the st. Petersburg-Viatka railway,
which will add greatly to the transpor-
tation facilities of Russia. The new
minister of Siberian railways and wat
erways is reftting the Siberian horse
ways to relieve the strain on the trans
Siberian railway.
Prince Wolkonsky said to your cor
respondent today:
Peace is impossible. President
Roosevet's last attempt to bring Rus
sia and Japan to an agreement has
failed, because the czar has solemnly
promised his people to pay. not single
kopeck of tribute and to surrender not
an inch of territory. Never since 1t
became an empire has Russia paid
tribute or ceded territory. The first
ruler of the nation who does either of
these things signs his own death war
rant. Such payment, however dis
guised, would provoke revolution.
"Linevitch now commands the great
est army that Russia ever put into the
field. The fruits of the vast sacrifices
made to bring this about must be util-
lied A great victory would bring gen.
uine peace at home and abroad, but
humiliating treaty would be the signal
for the bloodiest revolution in history,
the enraged army joining with the de-
spoiled people and turning their terri
BILE anger against the established order
of government"

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 25.-Baron
Kaneko, Japan's Intermediary for
peace, had an interview with President
Roosevelt today, the third within ten
days. He arrived by train at half past
10 o'clock.
Il cannot talk now about my mission
to the President" he said. Il would
be delighted II could. Some day III
tell you all ABOUT it."
What do you think of the prospect
of successful issue to the peace con-
ference?" he was asked.
Baron Kaneko hesitated an instant
and then with shrug of his shoulders
replied: "Oh, 1t is much like the wealth
er down here; it is, very much"
Rain was falling heavily, and the
weather was gloomy and disagreeable.
The baron remained in conference
with the President for three-quarters
of an hour, returning to the Oyster Bay
Station in time to catch the train for
New York at 1920 p. m.
mo- he said, in response to in
quiries, Il did not convey to the Presi-
dent any message from Japan or from
Baron Komura."
Amy suggestions to the PRESIDENT"
mo, no; would not be so imperti-
nent as to make suggestions to him"
What do you think of the outlook
for the conference at Portsmouth"
Il know only wnat read in the
newspapers" replied the baron. 1T
looks like deadlock"
"Will Japan, in your opinion, make
any more concessions or propositions
to bring about an agreement on the
points of differences?"
81 hardly think So" he responded.
Japan has presented her terms. They
are reasonable. They are a sort of
ultimatum. Our war expenditures have
amounted to 1900, 0,O00,O 900 yen, or about
$500, 900 000"

PLAGUE OF RATS
Caused by idIeness Of Men In sherods
Vile Mines.

Sherodsville, Aug. 25.-This immedi-
ate vicinity is much troubled with
rats, caused by the idleness in the
mines. Never in the history of the
town have SO many rats been observed
or have they been SO bold.
While the mines are in operation the
rats are fed by the men from their
dinner buckets, as they alwayo leave
the scraps from their lunches. The
feeding of the mules also furnishes food
for the rodents. This year the mines
have been practically idle, and 1t be-
came necessary for the rats to live, so
they came out of the mines in great
numbers.
Entire fiocks OF young turkeys and
chickens have been carried off by these
rats, and they also are very fond of
fresh laid eggs. They have played
havoc with several gardens in this vi
cinity, denuding them of everything
catable.
1t is reported that several young
children, while playing in the yards
have been attacked and bit by the more
venturesome rats. The farmers and
citizens are having great trouble trying
to annihilate them.
