BUT TWO BIG BARRIERS TO AN

HIGH As EVER. a. X,
OUTSIDE INFLUENCE AT WORK
FOR THE MOMENT THE EFFORT
OF BOTH SIDES Is TO
...r~'s'..' GAIN TIME.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. Is. - No
progress was made with the peace ne
gotiations over Sunday. The session
of the plenipotentiaries which was to
have been held yesterday afternoon
was postponed by mutual agreement
out of reverence to the fact that 1t
was the holy Sabbath, which is uni
versally observed in Russia as day
Of rest.
The Russians had not been anxious
for session yesterday and In the
morning the Japanese took the initia-
tive and through the intermediary OF
Mr.. PIERCE, it was decided to postpone
the sitting until to-day. The situation,
therefore, remains the same. 1t would
perhaps not be too much to say that

H. Feeling 10 More Hopeful
in spite of open predictions made by
personages connected with both sides
of the negotiations, that before next
Sunday the plenipotentiaries will
reach an impasse where s. rupture will
become inevitable. This pessimisttc
view is based upon the fact that so
far as known the two big barriers to
an agreement-indemnit and Sakha'
1in-remain as high and insurmounta'
BILE as ever. ........>
s The real struggle is only postponed.
The main problems are no nearer 70
luton than when the plenipotenttaries
met. The principal reason for op-
timism lies in the fact that confronted
with the absolute refusal Of the Rus
sian reply to ">. =". .

come the objections Of their adver-
saries when the crucial test comes.
An intimation comes from high
source that very strong outside inhu-
ences are at work on both sides and
that for the moment the effort is to
gain time. The plan Of having Rus
STA practically satisfy Japan's claim
Of reimbursement for the cost Of the

tinues to be advanced. Such q solu.

remarkable character. Indeed, the
position taken by Mr.. Witte was SEN
sational in the extreme. His attitude
reveals plainly the Russian tactics.

HOW 1T FEELS TO BE SHOT
Sensation Produced Is Like That
When Hit Singing Blow with
Rawhide Whip.

An American private soldier who
was with the regulars when they
charged so gallantly up the San Juan
Hill. and was struck in the fleshy part
of his left leg by Mauser bullet fired
by a Spanish soldier in the trenches
ahead, recently described "how it feels
to he hit" says the Washington Star
"The sensation produced" he said
was like that which would result
from a stinging and forceful blow
from a rawhide whip We were ad-
vancing through a thicket, and / re-
member my first impression was that
a bent sapling had sprung and struck
me on the calf. l gave a little lear
into the air and exclaimed: 'Jerusa-
lem!' or something like that, but con-
tinued to run ahead with the boys. In
about three or four minutes, | began
to feel sick and faint, and upon exam
ination found 7 was wounded, but
had fired several shots before l made
the discovery"
The private added that for time
he was overcome by nausea, but event.
ually managed to apply first aid and
then got back to- the rear for treat
ment. In few weeks he was ready
for service again.

WHAT HE WOULD DO.
Col. Hayes Knew How to Take Care
of Surprises If They Should
Come.

OF Col. John c. Hayes, who served
with distinction under Gen. Winfield
Scott in the Mexican war, an amusing
story is told by T, E. Parish in his Gold
Hunters of California" Hayes, with
his command, had been out scouting. On
his return he made no report to Gen.
Scott, who sent for him. Gen. Scott was
a veritable martinez in enforcing mill
tary discipline. After Hayes was seated
in the commanders headquarters, Scott
said: "Col. Hayes, | have received no
report of your expedition against the
padre" II did not think it worth
WHILE" said Hayes. Every officer of
the army is required to make full re-
port of everything to his superior officer.
Please make your report verbally"
Hayes began by saying that he struck
the PADRES trail on a certain day, fol-
lowed it for two days and on the third
day, while his command was resting at
noon and taking their siesta, the old
padre came down on them. The boys"
gathered themselves together and
whipped the MeXicans off, killing quite
number of the PADRES command His
own loss was insignificant-one killed
and three wounded. Surprised you,
eh?" quired Scott. Eyes; we were not
expecting him" Where were your
pickets?" Did not have any,"
What" shouted Gen. Scott. COL
onel in the regular army of the United
States go into camp in the heart of the
enemy's ountry and never place a
picket on guard? What would you do
if surprised when asleep?" "Shoot the
first man that woke me up" was the cool
reply.

WAS HIS OWN COURIER.
Stonewall Jackson's Visit to Battery,
as Related by an Ex-Con-

Indulging in some "reminiscences OF

one occasion where, he said, Stonewall
