JAPs REFUSE ARMisTIcE
TILL TREATY is SIGNED

Portsmouth, n. H., Sept. Japan
has refused TO consent to the cessa-
ton of hostilities until the treaty of
peace has been signed. The Russian
ENJOYS, accompanied by their secre-
taries, called on Baron Komura and
Mr.. Takihari shortly after noon today
and had conference for half an hour
with them.
Japan indicated last night through
Baron Komura her willingness for the
armistice, but his instructions were
that this should not take effect until
after the signing of the treaty. The
discussion lasted for half an hour, the
Russian position being that the Jap
anese contention was without prece-
dent, and that if the armistice was
not to take place until after the sign
ing of the treaty it was practically
unnecessary.
However, the Japanese were insist
ent and the agreement was according
ly entered into, providing for an arm
istice which shall take effect the mo-
ment the treaty Is signed

shire to attend a banquet, which Is to
be rendered by that state to the peace
ENJOYS of Russia and Japan. The ban
quet probably will be given at the
Mount Washington house in the
White mountains.
No Foundation For Criticism.
The invitation was extended person
ally by Senator Burnham, of New
Hampshire, and George r.. Moses,
secretary to Governor McLain, of that
state. They were assured that the
president could not go to Portsmouth
or the White mountains.
Senator Burnham and Mr. Moses
discussed with the president a criti-
cism which recently had been made
upon the entertainment of the. envoys
at Portsmouth. They told the presi-
dent that everything possible had
been done by the officials of New
Hampshire and the people of Ports
mouth to make the sojourn of the en-
voys at Portsmouth as comfortable as
possible.
They said there was no foundation
whatever for the criticisms published
of the treatment of the ENJOYS and
their suites, and that the plenipoten-
tiaries themselves had expressed sat
| isfaction with their entertainment.

UNCLE SAM INTER
.FERES WITH CUPID

From the pitiful plight of an unre-
Quilted love, interfered with by the
Chinese exclusion act, Charles Lee.
q Chinese merchant of Lordsburg. is
assailed by the United States au-
thorities with the charge of bigamy
all the result of his over-ambitious
impulse to secure a daughter of the
Flowry Kingdom.
Deputy United States Attorney f.
L. Medler returned to the city this
morning from Lordsburg and Clifton,
Ariz., where he was called on Chinese
deportation matters. He tells the
story of the undoing of one Charles
Lee.
A few months ago Mr.. Lee applied
to an Oriental matrimonial bureau for
wife. The wife was soon delivered,
but before the knots could be tied, a
United States officer appeared and
questioned the right of the bride-to
be in the land of Uncle Sam, and an
effort was made to prevent the issu.
ance of a marriage certificate to Char.
lie. But love would not be thwarted,
and now an American merchant has
wife whose right of residence is
questioned.
II hoW uSNelOps, Sdlu Attorney
Medler, that Lee had a Mexican wife
previous to his late marriage, from
whom he has never been divorced
and now we are going to try him for
bigamy."
Charles Lee has retained Judge Beal
of El Paso, as an advisor in his matri
monial tangles, and the case has been
postponed until the defense can get its
case ready.

that Germany would protect the ter

Emperor William, Mr.. Mulai-Abd-el
Azez, the nominal ruler of Morocco,
suggested that the matters in dispute
be submitted to an international COM
mission. The parties to this confer

Madrid made in 1SS0-whence arises
the favored nation clause'-which
enters so vitally into all of our com
mercial treaties. The United States
was one of the signers of this Madrid
ag cement and will therefore partici-
pate in the conference.
Emperor William had now accom-
plished his main purpose, which was
to break into the CLOSE corporation"
arrangement between Great Britain
and France. And, in addition to this,
he had succeeded in smoking out the
real intentions of France so far as
war is concerned, and found them
averse to a fight.
Our state department has defined

kite flying contest which the Deal
Lake carnival committee had arrang-
ed for the last but one day of the
great carnival week, came off today
and proved, in many respects, to be
one of the most interesting features of
the week. The wind was quite ia
vorable part of the day, and thousands
assembled near the ocean end of Deal
lake to witness the exciting sport. The
number of entries was quite large, and
among those who took part in the in
teresting contest were some of the
most famous kite flyers of the east.
There were kites of every size and
description, from the ordinary, fiat

Meets in Washington to
Discuss Type Of
Water Way
LOCKED OR ON SEA LEVEL
All Previously Gathered Data
at Command of This
Board
TER ONLY TO RECOMMEND

lgton, d. c., Sept. 1.-The in
ternatiOnal board of advisors of the
Isthmian canal commission opened its
session at the Mines building annex of
the war and navy department today
The board was called together for
the purpose of considering and dis
cussing the various plans and sugges-
tions for the construction of the Pan
anna canal submitted from various
sources to the Isthmian canal COM
mission.
The board of advisors was called to
order by General George w. Davis,
u. S. A., retired, who is heading the
board. He was formerly governor of
the canal zone and is a man of wide
experience. His associates on the
board are Alfred Noble. a civil en-
gineer of Lavonia, Mich, formerly a
member of the Nicaragua canal board;
William Barclay Parsons. of New
York: Prof. William H. Burr, of Col
umbia university; General Henry L.
Abbott, U. S. A., retired; F. p.
Stearns, Joseph Ripley, Herman
Schussler, Isham Randolph; Henry
Hunter, a British engineer; Eugene
, Tincauser, a German engineer; NJ. NJ.
Guererd and Quellenen, two French
engineers; Prof. Jacob, Kraus, of the
Technical school of Delft and others.
The number of plans and sugges-
tions which will be considered by the
board is very large, and the board will
remain in session until all of them
have been considered. Then the board
will draw up a report or perhaps a
minority and a majority report, en-
bodying the result of list delibera-
tions. Besides the plans of the first
committee, of 1901, will be the plans
of the old De Lesseps company, the
project the Bunau Varilla, the plans
of Lindon w. Bates, of New York,
and various other plans for a canal
between CristObal and La Poca. Some
of these projects are for sea level
canal, while other contemplate a
canal above the sea level, and connect
ed withGEs soa ihE means zoS- -locks-aps
dams.
If the members of the board find it
impossible to form an opinion without
personal inspection of the conditions
involved in the various plans, they
may visit the canal zone before max,
ing their final report.
President and Congress Must Decide
These eminent engineers of Amer
the call of President Roosevelt, will
investigate and make recommends
tions as to the type of canal that is
to connect the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. The members were met by
Chairman Shonts, who in a few words
expressed his belief of the good re
suits which will follow their delibera
tions.
The board of consulting engineers
will have all the data collected by the
commission bearing upon the subject
of type of canal, TO determine whether
the canal should be constructed will
locks or should be a sea-level water
way. The recommendations of the
consulting engineer will be made t
the Isthmian canal commission, which
in turn will use its own judgment il
, its report and recommendations to the
presluent. The final conclusion as tC
the type of canal will be settled by
the president and congress.

Britain on the other, as to who shall

Morocco.
BeforeThe Russo-Japanese war, Rus.
sia was a very great factor in the
game of diplomacy and strategy al.
ways being played by the European
powers. Russia was for years the
great "bogey man" of Europe.
In sixteen months Japan unsheeted
the awful spectre and showed it hol
low.
The first effect of the elimination of
Russia was to draw closer the rela,
tiOns between Great Britain and
France. The latter nation is the ally
of Russia. After the humiliation OF
the Russian feet France looked around
for friends.
It so happened that Great Britain
was looking for friends who would
help her stand against the aggres
sions of the well armed Germans. The
Marquis of Lansdowne sought to Dol
ster up the standing of Great Brit
ain in the European concert, and
shortly after Christmas, in 1904, ne
gotiations were entered into with M
Delcasse, the French prime minister
which led to the formation of an zen
tente cordiale" between France anC
Great Britain.

The change, which was decided up

seven who have been chosen by vote
as the most popular cowpunohers in
Wyoming will spend a week or so at
the fair and shoot up "the trail," fig

Wyoming, though laterally a land
OF q eat mineral production, still has
vast areas devoted TO cattle raising.
The trained cowboy finds his occupa-
tion as lively as of yore, and while he
may not be quite so boisterous as
eastern story writer's used to paint
him, he is a picturesque characteT,
and one whom the general public
likes to meet now and then, just for
change.
In the Wyoming section of the Ag
ricultural building at the fair there
is a room in which every day a free
show may be enjoyed by the people.
Pictures, both stationary and moving,
are thrown upon the screen, depict
ing the various phases OF life in WY
oming. The cowboy pictures are
among the most popular. Methods of
riding and roping are illustrated from
lite, by means of the wonderful bio
graph machine.
Cheyenne is a town of historical and
fictional interest. The scene OF many
wild west stories, both true and false,
have been located there, and it is the
center of a great grazing county, and
consequently is headquarters for the
cowpunchers.
- The seven men selected by vote to

and they can rope a steer OF a wild
