Following close on the heels of the uni

tween Russia and Japan, arises general
desire to know more of the real inside MS
tory of the Portsmouth conference. Espe-
cially is curiosity intense as to the actual
participa ton of President Roosevelt in TIE
negotiations and the arguments or 1nhu-
ence employed by him in breaking the
threatened deadlock over the articles pro-
viding for the cession of Sakhalin and for
the reimbursement of Japan for the ex-
penses of the war. That the President
took a prominent part in the later proceed
ings and in removing a supposed impasse
are now matters of history. having been
publicly acknowledged by the parties con-
cerned, as well as by the rulers ofithe prln-
cipal countries of the world III their mes
sages of congratulation and felicitaton. AT
the same time the exact nature and extent
of the Presidents efforts in bringing about
an agreement, when such thing seemed
impossible, have not been told.
1t is known that when the Russian and
Japanese peace plenipotentialies locked
horns over the disputed articles, and each
side declined to yield its contention. the
President opened personal negotiations dl-
rect with the cZar at st. Petersburg ana
the emperor at Tokyo. with the result that
while both professed a desire for peace the
Japanese ruler alone acted III way to
make il possible. SO far as known, the ear
sustained his representatives in the posi-
ton they had assumed to the very end, and,
while politely responsive to the Presi-
dent, yielded absolutely nothing to his per-
suasons. Contrary to general expectations,
the concessions both the main issues
were wholly made by Japan. and the with
dra wal of the Japanese demands regarding
indemnity and Sakhalin was made by di-
rect orders of the mikado. apparently

The Moving Cause.

The interesting question naturally arises
as to the moving cause of the sudden and
unlocked for change in the attitude of the
japanese government. There is growing
impression that ii was due to d consider
able degree to influences skiIlfuily eXcrted
by President Roosevelt. What many ap-
plauding diplomats and officials would now
like to know is what the President actually
did or said to bring about the happy con-
summation. Throughout the entire ct.sis
the President acted quietly and discreetly,
and his acts and messages were guarded so
successfully that not a word of the corre-
spondence to which he a party has
been disclosed. 1t Is common knowledge
that he conferred personally with Baron
Rosen and Baron Kaneko at Oyster Bay
and that he correspOnded with the czar and
the mikado. through Ambassador Meyer
and Minister Griscom, we'll as with the
plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth, through
Assistant Secretary Peirce. but so far the

important proceedings.

WE LIKE THE
ELECTRIC MOTORss

The INDEPENDENT feels like
saying something good for the
electric motor power which was
recently installed here. The
power is furnished by the Minot
Light 4 Telephone Co.. and is
far more reasonable than gaso-
line power. We are not trying
to knock anybody's gas engine
business. when we say this. The
power is cheaper than gasoline
power, the motors are started at
a moments notice, and there is
not that noise and sickening
smell that always accompanies
q gasoline engine. Besides a
man has a chance OF leading a
Christian life if he has motor
power. Otherwise he is bound
to become profane. The gaso-
line engine was never made that
would not buck semi-occasion-
ally. The motors can be speeded
up if one finds it convenient to
run a Job fast, or it can be run
as slowly as one pleases. The
INDEPENDENT is able to turn
out one-third more Job work in
a month by the use OF the mo-
tors and that helps a good deal.
Manager L. NJ. Davis, OF the
electric light plant, is securing
more orders for motors every
day and will soon have a large
number installed.

The business at the Minot Bot

along. j, ring the months OF
january ana ,"obruary, the bust
ness was as hea, as it was in
August last year an. the pro-
moters hope to double their busl-
ness by August OF the present
year. That's going pretty lively:
The company is backed by good
men and is managed upon busi-
ness principles. The owners real
ize that it pays to do the volume
OF business, at smaller profits,
and are using every effort to
make a pure class OF goods.

tract was first let to Mr.. Dinnie
whose bid was 5000 higher than
that Of F. A. McGulpin, whose
bid arrived at the court house
too late for the commissioners
to act upon it. Mr.. Dinnie for
that reason landed the Job in
the first place and started work
on It, when he was stopped by
an Injunction. The matter was
taken before Judge Goss, who
decided that the bid Of McGulpin
should stand and he was accord
ingly awarded the contract.

tion in a little more than

ted that we will have q new hos
pital in a few weeks. The new
building will be built just east OF
the old one, and will be 3Ox4O

This will relieve the crowded con-
dition OF the hospital for the
present, but many believe that
even with the addition. the hos.
.pital will soon be too small.

London, April 6.-The commons last

demonstration based upon the defeat
of a government candidate in the by
election for Brighton, a constituency
which, for 20 years. had not failed to
return conservative or unionist candi-
dates for parliament While a some
what desultory and uninteresting de-
bate was dragging on, there was
rush of opposition members from the
lobbies, shouting with joy over the lib

was received with great cheering.

entering the house. was greeted with
shouts of Resign" Resign" AS soon

IS FOR OPEN DOOR
Germany Clearly Defines Position
in Regard to Morocco
Ports.
UNITED STATES is ADVISED
Other Capitals Probably Given Same
Understanding-This Country
Not Committed.

Washington, April G.-Germany has
clearly outlined 10 the United States
her Moroccan policy. Acting under
Sternberg called at the war depart
ment and left with Secretary Taft a
memorandum to this effect:
Germany stands for an open door,
in Morocco as in the far east, and for
the preservation of the status quo, and
for the safeguarding of commercial and
trade interests not only of Germany
but all trading nations of the world.
United states Not Committed.
Taft, without committing this gov
ernment on the subject, thanked the
ambassador and promptly forwarded
the memorandum to President Roose-
welt.
Germany makes no mention of
France in the memorandum. nor does
she request an expression of views by
the United States.
This information has been conveyed
to the United States because of sensa-
tional reports abroad about Germany's
attitude.
Although Secretary Taft was not so
informed, nor does his memorandum
indicate it, il is believed here that
similar statements of Germany's views
may have been addressed also to st.
Petersburg and Madrid.
No official statement of the German
position is obtainable at the German
embassy here, in view of the fact that
President Roosevelt has scarcely had
time TO consider the memorandum.
"Open Door" Present Policy.
Washington, April 6.-The French
Jusserand, called on Sec
retary Taft to make inquiries relative
to the visit of the German ambassador
yesterday and the presentations the
latter made relative to Morocco. He
was informed Won Sternberg's note
had been forwarded to the president.
Jusserand assured Taft the open
door" was the policy in Morocco now
and there were no intentions on the
part of the French government to al
ter that policy.
