NEW PLAN FOR PEACE
JAPANESE ENJOYS MAKE NOM.
INAL CONCESSIONS.
Not Viewed with Favor by Russians-
Details of Terms Offered After Presi-
dent Roosevelt Has Interposed as

At Wednesdays meeting of the Ell
voys the japanese concessions were
formally laid before the Russian en-
voys. and cabled to st. Petersburg. Inc
conference was then adjourned till
Saturday afternoon to await Russia $
formal reply and permit both of the
plenipOtentiaries to have full CONSUL
tation with their governments by cable
before the next sitting.
1t will be well to have a clear under
standing of what had happened before
Wednesdays session. When the con-
ference was in imminent danger of an
early dissolution President Roosevelt
interpOsed as mediator between the
two powers. He sounded both govern
ments as to their willingness to re-
ceive suggestions from him. Botn as
sented. Then he brought forward in
formally as a mediator-as the mutual
friend sounding the two disputants as
to what they We're or We're not willing
to do-his plan for mutual concessions.
In principle this was accepted by botn
governments. With the acceptance of
that principle by both sides peace was
assured. Tuesday President Roosevelt
sent to Portsmouth for the information
of the .plenipotentiaries transcript of
all that had passed between himself
and the two governments. The pleni-
potentiaries were also given new in
structions from their governments.
Wednesday morning the plenipoten-
tiaries again faced one another across
the historic council table at the navy
yard. After signing the protocols of
the clauses agreed upon at former sit
tings Il great moment arrived. 1t was
the moment in which Baron Komura
handed TO Mr. Witte the new propo-
sails which he was authorized to pre-
cent as the result of President Roose-
velt's intercession. These proposals
were in writing. They We're the for
nal proposals which naturally follow
vices of the mediator. They embodied
the suggestion offered by Mr.. Roose-
velt and accepted, in principle, by the
two governments. In them Japan Of
fered in proper businesslike form a
new basis of negotiation, an amend
ment of the bases rendered at the be-
ginning of the conference. And after
Il brief discussion of somewhat in
formal character Mr.. Witte placed the
document in his pocket and remarked
that he hoped to be able to give his an
swer by Saturday afternoon. Till that
hour the conference was adjourned.
The new proposals submitted in for
NAL fashion by Japan embrace these
principles: Sakhalin to be divided

in the form of reimbursement for care
of prisoners and other services render
ed. not as direct indemnity. Japan
withdraws her demand for the limita-
ton of Russian naval power and for

Russia. It can be stated. while re-
jecting the compromise because it in
cluded remuneration for cost of the
war under another name, was willing
and indeed offered the island of Sakha-
lin by not only restoring status quo ex-
listing before the treaty of 1879. but to
delimit the frontier and forever re-
nounce all claim to the southern half.

RAIN INJURIES WHEAT.
Government Report Says Excessi
Moisture Doeo Damaue


Moisture Doeo Damage.
The weekly summary of crop con-
ditions, issued by the National Wealth
er Bureau, is as follows:
During the week central and western
Texas experienced unusual heat. while
unseasonably cool weather prevailed
in New England and the northern por-
ton of the Middle Atlantic States;
elsewhere the temperature was favor
able. The rainfall was excessive and
injurious in the Dakotas and Mime
sofa, and also in parts of the lake re-
gion. South Atlantic. and Central Gulf
States. and in Florida. Rain is badly
needed over the greater part of Texas.
in portions of Kansas. generally
throughout the central and southern
Rocky Mountain districts, and in Ore
gon.
The previously reported excellent
condition Of corn continues generally
throughout the principal corn produc-
ing States and also in the Atlantic
Coast and Eastern Gulf districts.
Wind storms blew down considerable
corn in Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas.
and Ohio. In some counties In Kan
sas and generally throughout Texas
the crop is in need of rain.
The harvesting, stacking and thrash
ing of spring wheat on lowlands in the
northern part of the spring wheat re-
gion, where grain is fully ripe, were
interrupted during the fore part Of the
week, the fields being too wet for the
reapers. Local storms in North Da-
kota and northeastern South Dakota
caused the lodging of considerable
grain. Satisfactory yields are gener-
ally Indicated over the southern por-
tion. Complaints of shrunken grain
are general from Washington and
western Oregon.
There is no improvement in the gen.
eral outlook for apples. nearly all re-
ports showing an inferior crop.
Much complaint of blight and rot in
potatoes is received from the lake re-
gion and the northern part of the mid
die Atlantic States, but the reports
from the Missouri and central Missis-
sippi valleys are more favorable.

cuazoN QUITS INDIAN POST.

Named His Successor.

Resigns az VicerOy and Lord Minto 10
Named His Successor.
The resignation of Lord Curzon of
Kedleston as viceroy of India and the
appointment of the Earl of Mimic, now
Governor General Of Canada, as his
successor, was recently announced at
the India Office in London. According
to the correspondence, which is issued
IN the form of white book, it appears
that Lord Curzon's resignation was
cabled to that office on Aug. IL.
The correspondence shows decid-
edly bitter feeling between Lord Cur
zOn, the India office and Lord Kitch-
ener, cOmmander-in-chicf of the forces
in India, over the new plan of army
administration in India. Lord CurZon's
dissatisfaction came to a head with
the refusal of the cabinet to appoint
Major General Sir Edmund Barrow, on
Lord CurZon's recommendation, mill
tary supply member of the council.
Among the public in India general
sympathy is being expressed for Lord
CurZon, who for eight weeks has been
confined to his bed, from where he
conducted his fight single-handeI
against the cabinet There is wide
spread regret that he has felt himself
obliged to resign, despite the almost
unanimous support of the press and
commercial bodies. The friends of Lord
Kitchener are jubilant and the COM
mander-in-chief of the forces now
stands as the de facto viceroy, with
his prestige greatly enhanced. In the
opinion of the natives, Lord Kitchen
er's power is supreme
Increased interest attaches to the
resignation of Lord Curzon from the
fact that his wife was formerly Miss
Mary Letter, daughter of the late l.. u.
Letter, of Chicago. They We're mar
ried in Washington, April 90, 1895,
when the groom was Sir George Cur
zon, NJ. p. In 1898 Sir George was ap-
pointed viceroy of India and shortly
afterward was raised to the peerag ge.
