Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1905-08-24

Portsmouth, Aug. 23.-The Associ-
ated Press is now in a position to re-
veal substantially the suggestions of
President Roosevelt for breaking the
existing dea Hook in the peace nego-
t1dtions and reacuing the conference
from failure. His solution would in
gentouslE permit the satisfaction of
the japanese demands for reimburse
ment for the cost of war and al the
same time enable Russia to face the
world with the declaration that she
had not &C led foot of territory or
paid Eopcc Of war tribute to the vic
ter The resolution is the one which
has heretofore been described in the
Associated Press dispatches as a nat.
ural and logical compromise
TCrseIy stated, it consists in an
agreement by Russia to repurchase
possession of either all or half of SAX
haltn. now in The military possession
of the japanese. for q sum the amount
of which, if the two countries cannot
agree shall be leclded by some meth
oil Of arbitration hereafter to be deter
mined. The pun chase money together
with thc sum Japan would obtain from
the Cession of the Chinese Eastern
railroad and the maintenance of Rus
san prisoners in Japan, would, it IS
estimated, about equal the amount
claimed by Japan as her bill for the
cost OF The war.

BULLETIN.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 23.-It is
stated that Komura has agreed to of
fer at the session this morning the
presidents compromise proposition
A high authority believes it impossi
bic that final rupture can come to
day, no matter what the character OF
the emperor's final instructions to
Witte may be. IF the negotiations
can be prolonged into next week,
said he, so much pressure will be
brought to bear upon the emperor
that he will not be able to resist"

Both Sides Would Yield.

Possibly, therefore. the so}u':on or
fered by the president involves the re-
cession by Japan upon the article upon
the cession Of Sakhalin, and recess
sion by Russia upon article (indem-
ntyD. IT seems practically certain.
though this cannot be affirmed posi-
lively, that the president yesterday
was able to give Minister WHITE sub
stantial assurance that Japan would
be willing 20 accept such a comprO-
mise. This is apparently supported by
ali authoritative Japanese statement
made 20 the Associate! Press last
night in reply to question as to
whether Japan mad decided to make
substantial concessions:
1T all depends upon Russia
II was the presidents note to White
which caused the sensation of the day.

Of the conference, which was to have
been held Yesterday. had been post

President Closely Watched.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-The eff
feet Of President Roosevelts person,
al influence towards reconciing the
differences between the Russian and
Japanese p.enipotentidries is being
watched with closest attention here
Though all save the highest represen.
tatiyes of the foreign office are in ig-
norance of the exact status of the ne.
gotiations, it is felt generally that the
negotiations are on the verge of a
deadlock. The public at large has
practically reconciled itself to the ap.
parent necessity of continuing the
war and there is only one opinion
about the desirabi.ity of peace-if OBJ
tainable without humiliation. The
action, therefore of the president is
far from unwelcome
A growing conviction is noticeable
In official circles that If the confer.
ence fails it will be because Of The in
ability to agree upon the question Of
indemnity, which is regarded now as
practically the only point on which
there is no hope of agreement, unless
the japanese reduce their demands
very materially.

LETTER EASY TO ANSWER,
Youth Made Mistake in Using Labor
SAVING Device,

A young man was deeply in love, but
MIS- advances were very coo:iy re.
ceived. In despair he decided to write
letter to the young lady, expressing
his deep affection for her. He was by
no means brilliant, and letter after
letter was torn up in disgust.
He dare not ask his friends to write
for him. for he knew them to be quite
capable of turning the whole matter
into joke.
At last he hit upon the plan of buy
ing a book of letters. On the finest
white paper he carefully copied out
the model letter on "Decaration of
Love-"
The girl. who was very lively, was
much amused. and showed it to her
friends, one of whom informed her
that she had seen it before in print
The letter-book was found, to the in
tense delight of the cruel charmer anl
her friends, and the poor youth rece.v.
ed the following crushing reply:
81 have received your note. Turn
over the leaf in your book OF ready
made letters, and you will find my an.
swer. Many thanks for saving me so
much trouble in replying. london

Mans Weakness in Separation from
Rest of His Kind

man is but cluster on the great
human grapevine. He begins to dry
up the moment he is cut off from his
fellows. Their is something in the
solidarity of the human race which
cannot be accounted for in the sum
total of all the individuals. Separa.
ton from the mass involves a mighty
loss OF power in the individual, just
as there is a loss Of cohesion and ad
heslCn involved in the separation OF
the molecules and atoms of the da.

close contact. the compactness. and
the concentration of the particles
which compose it, The moment they
are separated its value is gone. So

Boston Hotels Continue to Sell Liquor
Waiting for Commissioners to Act.

Boston, Dec. 21.-The Boston police
board has submitted to Attorney Gen.
erdl Herbert Parker the letter of Dis
trict Attorney John B. Moran calling
upon the board to revoke the liquor Ii
censes at the Essex. Young's, Parker
ana the Adams House. Appointees Of
the state, the commissioners feel that
the attorney general should pass upon
the question of whether the sevral ho-
Ills have violated the liquor law, be-
cause Of the presence of distractions
10 the view in the various barraabs.
The barrooms of the four hotels were
open rs usual today, the proprietors
under the theory that the order to close
SHOULD come from the police board and
not from the district attorney.
The Boston police commissioners de-
fed the authority of District Attorney
Moran today when they refused to
comply with his request to delegate a
policeman to secure evidence Of possi-
bic violations of the liquor law. After
having received a letter from the po-
lice board containing a refusal, MIR.
Moran made Il similar request Of Chief
Shaw of the Massachusetts dis -ict DO
lice. Chief Shaw announced that he
would reply later to the district attor-
ncy's letter.
In his communication to the board OF
police. District Attorney Moran de-
clarcd that he desired the services of
IN officer. not only to investigate pos
sihe violations of the liquor law but
also to look into evidence in connection
with the action of certain superior Off
GERS whom l may find to be in colll-
sion with these violators of the law"
Replying to the district attorney the
police board said they were investi-
eating his former communication about
the hotels and meantime they could
find no law which authorized the dele
cation of policeman to assist the dis
trict attorney.
