EYES OF NATIONS
UPON CONFERENCE
Russians Do Not Covet Peac,
At Any Price.
JAPs MUST BE coNslDERATE
Upon the Moderation of Their De-
mands Depends the Fate of the Ne
gotiations-offical Paper Says Rus
sia Is Not Yet Whipped.

st. Petersburg, July 2O.-The inter
view of the Associated Press with Nj.
Witte last Monday was telegraphed
back to St. Petersburg from New York
and was printed throughout the empire
receiving high commentator by the
press with the exception of the ex-
tremely reactiOnary Sviet and the Mos
COW Gazette. The Bourse Gazette de.
| clares the bulk of the Russian people
share M. Whites views. which now,
when the attention of the world is
fixed on the peace conference are OF
historical Importance. The paper adds ::
'Russia's chief pIenipotentiary does
not attempt to conceal from foreign
countries the internal situation in Rus
sla. Strong men do not fear the
truth. Falsehoods are the instruments
of the weak. NJ. Witte leaves under
the good auspices, but he makes it
clear that upon the moderation of the
japanese demands depends the fate of
the negotiations"
The Move Vremya heartily endorses
M. Witte's statement that Russia does
not covet peace at any price and that
both armies in Russia would united to
resist terms which might threaten the
future Of the country M. Whites ex-
tremely impartial and temperate re-
marks upon the internal conditions and
the future should prove instructive
abroad, the paper adds, and should
benefit those Russians who doubt the
future destinies of the country.
The SloVo rejoices at the fact that
after the weakness and vascillation
which have marked the later stages
of Russian history the peace negotia
t1ons have fallen into strong hands,
and while the paper admits that NJ
Witte will have no opportunity to re-
trieve the blunders of others, yet the
Slovo hopes he may be successful in
his mission.
The Sviet, whose voice is still for
war to the last ditch, sarcastically lik-
ems the departure to the pilgrimages
of the Russian princes who travelled
to the far steppes to make obeisances
to the iChOns of the Golden Chloride
The Sviet concludes that peace is COM
patible with the dignity of the coun-
try, which is not yet defeated.

RAINS AND WIND
ENDS HEAT WAVE
Temperature Is Again Very
Near the Normal.
NEARLY 200 DEATHS IN GOTHAM
The Intense Hot Weather Which Has
Caused Many Deaths and Prostra-
tions Has, at Last, Been Broken.
Two Deaths Reported Today.

New York, July 20.-The wave of in.
tense heat which held the city in its
grasp for more than a week, causing
nearly 200 deaths, several times that
number of serious prostrations and un-
told sufferings to millions, has been
thoroughly broken.
The relief, which came yesterday af-
ternoon, when ayiolent storm of wind
and rain swept the city for scarcely
more than five minutes, became appar-
ent. Although the temperature ran
rapidly up again after the shower, a
cooling breeze which followed sent the
mercury down once more, compara-
lively comfortable night followed, and
today the temperature was very near
normal.
The lowest point reached during the
night was 73. Today when the tempera-
ture began to rise on an average of 8
degrees an hour, until 81 had been
reached, the winds continued and with
the sky partly overcast, there was no
indication of renewal of the intoler-
able conditions of the past week or
more. Two deaths from heat and sew
eral prostrations were reported early
today, but in nearly every case they
are thought to have been due to ex-
haustion.

FIGHT ON ANTl,pAss BILL.
Georgia Legislature Is Wrestling With
This important Measure.

Atlanta, July 20.-Another day oi
ilfbustering tactics was the record Of
the house of Representatives Wednes
day in dealing with the anti-free pass
bill by Mr.. Hall, of Bibb.
The opposition to the bill, led by Mr.
Anderson, Of Chatham, made every eff
fort to defeat the bill by delays oil
various sorts, but every motion intend
ed to postpone consideration of it to
some later date was defeated, and
finally seeing the friends of the bill
were bent on bringing it to discus
sion and vote, they secured a refer
ense of the measure to the committee
OF the whole house, where unlimited
discussion upon it may be had
None of the votes taken accurately
illustrated the strength of the two
sides on this measure, because many
friends of the bill voted to refer it to
the committee of the whole. The
vote, which refused to permit of a
postponement to the last day of the
session, perhaps, came nearest to
showing the strength of the measure,
that being 108 to A. Yet number
who are opposed to the bill voted
against this motion in the interest OF
fairness to the other side.
The indications are that the meas.
ure will have more than constitu.
t1onal majority when vote is taken
before full house.
The feature of the debate was the
statement from Mr. Hall that he
thought the members of the general
assembly ought to have higher salar-
les. He stated he thought the per
diem should be increased from 81 to
$40. He was willing, therefore, to
amend the bill so that it would not be.
come effective until after a constitu-
tional amendment increasing the pay
OF the members of the house and sen.
ate shall have been submitted to the
people.
The first fight came when the anti.
pass bill was taken up on a motion by
Mr.. Hall, of Bibb, that the session be
extended until the measure could be
finally disposed Of The adoption of
this motion, he said, would not neces.
sarily extend the sessions beyond the
adjournment hour, as the house could
take a recess at any time it saw fit,
and the only object of the motion was
to keep the bill before the house until
final action could be taken.

KANSAS CITY BANK
CLOSED ITS DOORS
Comptroller of the Currency Is
In Charge of Affairs.
HELD LOTS OF DEvLIN's PAPER

/
of Deposits for the Last Sixty Days.
There Was, However, over a Mil
lion Dollars Still on Deposit.
Kansas City, July 20.-The City Ma
| tional bank failed to open it's doors
| today. The bank held paper of c..
]. Devlin, of Topeka, to the amount
of 100000, and the failure is the di-
rect result of the closing of the First
National Bank of Topeka of which Mr..
Devlin was the principal stockholder.
Some time ago the comptroller of
| the currency at Washington instructed
| the officers of the City National bank
to repair it's capital. This was done
by borrowing from local capitalist.
Following the failure of the First Ma
tional Bank of Topeka, the Kansas
City capitalist became insistent on re-
payment of his loan and this demand
caused the officers of the City National
bank, their institution being closed
The other bank in Kansas City that
was caught in the failure of the First
National Bank of Topeka, was the
American National Bank of Kansas
City which is said to hold upward of
5000, 900 of Devlin paper. 1t was stat
ed positively today to the Associated
Press by a leading banker that the
other Kansas City institutions woulC
not permit the bank to fail.
There was no appearance of a run
opening hour.
The total resources of the bank
are 1888, ,72O; deposits $r476,641.
The bank was closed by E. e. Ames,
bank examiner, under instructions
from the comptroller of the currency.
The comptroller, it is stated, informed
the officers of the bank that it must
take up 100000 bad paper immediate
ly or they would not be permitted to
open today. The bank examined last
night by a committee of local bankers
who reported, at meeting early today
that the affairs of the institution were
in such shape that they would not feel
justified in extending assistance. AL
though the City National bank was not
a member of the local clearing house
association, that association, it is stat
ed by one of it's officers today, would
have extended aid had they not found
so much bad paper.
Although the holding of Devlin pa.
per, upon which no immediate realiza
tion could be made was the prise cause
for the failure, it is stated that the
general knowledge that the bank held
other bad paper and was in a weak
ened condition had led to a gradual
withdrawal of deposits. At no time
had run of any big proportions been
on, but it is stated Withdrawals had
been made quietly for several months
and that within 60 days 100000 had
been taken out.
