Over the FOrtifiCatiOn of
! the Divided Island
IHt ARMISTICE ARRANGED
Il is not Yet Officially in EfeCt-The
Machinery by Which the Treaty Of
Peace is to be To-
morrow or Next Day.

Portsmouth, n. H, Sept. 1.-The
only possible hitch on the horizon of
the peace conference, according to re-
ports current here. which, however, are
mot officially confirmed, arises out of
an evident misunderstanding over the
Question of the naturalization of the
island of Saknalin. According to the
Japanese, the understanding reached on
Tuesday contemplates a mutual Obli-
cation on the part of the two countries
not to fortify their respective possess
sions on the island. At St. Petersburg,
however, there seems to have been an
assumption that the agreement in
wolves such action on the part of Rus
sia in this respect in the north of SAX
halin, with an obligation on the part of
the Japanese not to fOrtify or to use
for strategic purposes the portion own
ed by her before 1876, which is to be re-
troceded in the present treaty.
1t is believed on both sides. however.
that the mitch, if it really exists as re-
ported, will shortly be Strengthened out,
and it is believed that one of the sub
jects at tonight's conference related 10
this point.
The effect of the armistice concluded
today is that it becomes operative only
upon signature of the treaty by the
pIenipotentiaries and continues until
the final exchange of Publications by
the emperors of the two countries. 1t
is for this reason that the plenipOten-
tiaries who will themselves convey to
their respective capitals the momentous
documents which are to become binding
must receive the signatures of their re-
spective emperors. Tney are anxious
to leave at the earliest possible date,
foregoing the innumerable invitations
which have been showered upon them.

were a well filled trunk, a handbag and
a bicycle.
When Davis learned that she had
left town he surmised that she had
gone to join the drummer. Therefore
he sought to recover the money he had
loaned the girl. He procured a writ of
attachment out of Justice Burnett's
court and the bicycle and trunk were
taken possession of. Constable Red
wine had some trouble in serving the
writ. When he went to the boarding
house he found the door barred by
Mrs. Mcclure, wife of the cook, and a
woman, though of negro blood, as white
as Mary Hines. She and the Hines girl
are cronies, and it is surmised that she
had been assisting ner in this escapade
When the officer finally got in he found
that two trays of the trunk had been
removed and the trunk locked. He re-
covered the trays and took all of the
attached property back to the office of
the justice.
1t was also brought out that Mrs
Mcclure nad been with the Hines girl
on the coast, and that while there they
had a rather gay time masquerading as
white women.

IT'S NOT AN ARMIsTIcE YET.
1t Is Understood That There Will Be
No More Fighting.

Portsmouth, Sept Japan has re-
fused to consent to a cessation of hos
tilities until a treaty of peace has been
signed. The Russian plenipotentiaries
accompanied by their secretaries call
ed on the japanese ENJOYS this after
noon and were in conferece a half
hour. Japan indicated last night
through Baron Komura a Willingness
for an armistice. NJ. Witte supposed
today that he would find them ready
to sign. Baron Komura explained that
while his government was ready to
consent to an armisice his instruc
tiOns were that this should not take
effect before the signing of a treaty.
The Russians maintained that ia
pans position was without precedent
and that if the armistice was not to
take effect until the signing of the

BRYAN OFFENDED
JAP WORSHIPERS
Nebraskan Tried to Buy Priests
Heirloom, Held Sacred by
the Sect.

Victoria, B. O., Nov. 23.-Japanese
newspapers received by the steamer
shawmut criticise W. j. Bryan, now
visiting Japan, because Of his attempt
to purchase the war stool upon which
Admiral Togo sat when he attended the
Shinto ceremonial in Uyeno park at
Toxic to celebrate the naval triumph.
The stool which was used for a similar
purpose for centuries since 1907, has
been handed down in the Ogasawara
family of Shinto priests, which family
alone has authority to conduct such
ceremonials. AS told by vernacular Jap
anese newspapers, w. j. Bryan went
from Yokohama to attend the ceremony
and asked to be permitted to sit upon
a seat Of such good omen. No obiec-
tion was made, but, so the story runs,
Bryan then tried to purchase the heir
loom. At it had sanctity in Japanese
eyes, there was only indignation. The
owners replied Indignantly that the war
stool was not for sale. The Jill Shimpo
says the chair was finally handed over
to Mr.. Bryan at his earnest request, af-
ter family consultation Of the Ogasa-
waras. Learning after leaving Toxic
of the special character of the chair Mr..
Bryan returned it to the mayor Of TOXIC
with letter explaining that he had no
idea of the stool $ exceptional value to
the Ogasawara family, and under the
circumstances should not think of re-
tanning it. One Toxic paper says Mr..
Bryan secured a common chair upon
which Admiral Togo sat from a res
taurateur OF Uyena park.

CLOI ON HARVARD
CAPTAINS BRAIN
Football Player in Hospital, suf-
fering from Serious
Injury.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 23.-Captain D.
J. Hurley Of the Harvard varsity foot
ball team, who was ordered to the city
hospital yesterday by DR.. E. II. Nicho-
las, the surgeon in charge Of the Har-
ward football squad, has blood clot
on the brain, according to statement
made by DR.. Nichols today. The follow
ing bulletin was issued:
Captain Hurley is suffering from a
serious injury to the surface of the
brain, which will prevent his entering
the game Saturday. The injury is the
result Of blow on the head in the Dart
mouth game last Saturday which at the
time caused no symptoms. Later symp-
toms showed brain injury. This de-
vclopment of symptoms is common in
head injuries. Mr.. Hurley's condition,
altho serious, is not at present critical.
He has been seen by DR.. W. N. Bullar1
in consultation at the city hospital and
at present is very comfortable.
=" Edward H. Nichols.
Dr. Nichols explained that the brain
injury referred to was blood clot and
said there was hope that it would be
absorbed in the natural processes Of
the body. At best, in his opinion it
would be some days before he could
leave the hospital.
'tThe symptoms referred to were an
unnatural irritability and occasional in
conference in speech.

oouIudA oPeclal SERVICE ~ h-.r.- -'. :
New York, Nov. 23.-It is said the
puol1c Is not IN the stock market Just
now, and it probably is good thing for
the public. -.
There is no doubt that at the present
time prices are \being maintained by a
certain large financial interest. 1t is
good enough prophecy to say that a
heavy bull movement is on it's way here,
and that prices are sure to 90 upward
to an unusual degree in sympathy with
the undeniable prosperity of the country
In all its legitimate commercial and in
dustrial lines. -. ...... ... r.
At the same time the market, which
is sustained by pools and combinations,
is a dangerous thing to monkey with
AS soon as big pools find it to be to their
interest, they will drop down the en-
tire list a few pegs and then raise it
up higher than ever before. Many con-
servative men in Wall street are look.
ing for just such an operation.
They are expecting sharp fall, pos.
sibly within day or two, and possibly
not for week or two. It will come
suddenly, they say, and when it is once
in the slightest degree, because there
will be an equally rapid recovery fol
lowed in all probability by a steady
upward movement.
One thing which outsiders, including
the public generally. should take tc
their minds at this time is that prices
on the Stock Exchange today are
wholly artificial, and while they may
represent actual values, are none the
less fixed by nanipulators and people
who control enormous sums Of money
against which the average private spec
ulator hasn It the ghost Of a show.
This expectation Of a decline in the
stock market seems to be almost gen
eral, not so much on the floor Of the ex
change as in banking houses and big
trust companies. >r.,

MAD LOVER SHOT
BOYS, THEN SELF
Man Killed One Brother of Girl,
Wounded Another, Then
Committed Suicide.

Nyack, N. j., Nov. 23.-The body Of
William H. Jones, who last night shot
and killed Harry Britton and wounded
Frank Britton, was. found this morning
at the rear of the Baptist church, near
the scene Of last night 8 murder.
Jones had shot himself thru the heart,
a revolver being found near the body.
The discovery of the body followed
an all-night search for Jones, which be-
gan soon after the shooting at the Brit
ton home. It is believed that Jones,
after wandering about for several hours,
returned to the vicinity of the Britton
home in the hope Of seeing Jessie Brit
ton, and not being able to safely ap-
proach the house decided to kill himself.
The murder and suicide followed an
attempt of Jones to see Jessie Britton,
with whom he was infatuated. Her
brothers refused him admittance to the
house, whererpon he drew revolver
and began firing. Harry Britton was
killed instantly and his brother Frank
was severely wounded. At the hospital
today it was said that Frank 'Britton
would probably recover. .>
Jones was a decorator employed in a
local painting shop; he was about 35
years old and it was said he was a

SURPRISE SPRUNG
IN BURTON TRIAL
Government Produces Witness
Who Had Another Deal with
the Senator.

st. Louis, Nov. .23.--The government
sprang surprise in the trial of United
States Senator j. r. Burton of Kansas,
charged with being the paid attorney
for corporation in matters pending
before the postofice department., by
introducing as witness today Charles
H. Brooks. former president Of the com
pany which was the predecessor Of the
Rialto company and former president Of
the National Securities company.
Brooks testified that at a conference
between Senator Burton, R. H. Kastor
and himself, Senator Burton was intro
duced by Kastor, who said the senator
was willing. to represent the National
company. Brooks said he did not see
how the senator could be of any use
to him.
The Man for the Job.
"Kastor replied,' continued the wit
ness, "here is the man (pointing to
Burtonl who defeated your fight against
Major Dennis, president of the Rialto
company, by preventing the issue of a
fraud order by the postoffice depart
ment.
81 replied that in that case it might
be well to employ Senator Burton, as
kastor assured me that all speculative
companies in st. Louis were under in
vestigation and that trouble might be
made for me.
'. Inefe was some general Q1ScuSS1On
between myself and Senator Burton as
to terms and other matters, but no
definite arrangement was reached.'
The government also brought out the
fact that Brooks is now awaiting de-
cision Of the court of appeals on his
convictio on on a charge of conducting a
scheme to defraud in connection with
the National Securities company.
On cross examination the defense at
tempted to show that the testimony of
Brooks was secured by certain prom
ises of immunity made by the federal
authorities. Brooks denied this.
Another Witness.
The government then asked permis-
sion from Judge Van Devanter to in
troduce one additional witness upon his
arrival in the city. Colonel Dyer an
nounced that with this exception the
prose cution had completed it's case. At
torney Lehman objected, claiming the
defense had the right to know the pros
ecution's entire case before attempting
| to controvert it.
Judge Van Devanter ruled that if the
witness was on hand at the reconvening
of court at 2 pm. he could be heard,
but at that hour the defense should be-
| gin.

A fusilade from a revolver in the
hands Of Driver Ray Reynolds prevent

highwaymen under the viaduct at
Eighth avenue S and Washington early
last evening.

Reynolds left the postoffice at S
O'Clock to drive the loaded wagon to

The streets were unusually quiet for

team sauntered along at an easy gait
under the \ viaduct, man suddenly
sprang out from behind one Of the large
iron posts and grabbed the horses by
the brides.
Hold up your hands!" he com
manded, as he pointed revolver at
Reynolds head.
This command was followed by the
sudden appearance Of another man who
with a heavy sledgehammer, knocked
the lock off the door. He then grabbed
one mailsack and started to run toward
Eighth avenue.
The Driver Opens Fire.
Reynolds in the meantime refused tc
obey the leaders, command and, pull
ing revolver from his pocket, opened
fire on the man who was running with
the sack. At the sound Of the pisto

Pedestrians then began to run towarc

were dangerously near, the robbers
dropped the mailsack in the muddy
street and ran toward the old Fish

in the darkness. Reynolds fred a.
them again AS they ran, but none Of
the shots took effect.

last night, as the driver finished hi
trip and made no report Of the holduI
until he returned to the barn. The mail

thought the affair of little importance

matter to the police today and detec
