Glenn'S Ferry Mass Meeting.

G. e. Corker was up from
Glenn's Ferry Sunday and we
learned from him that a mass
meeting Of the taxpayers Of Glenn's
Ferry was held on the evening of
October 7, at which the following
resolution was passed:
Resolved, that because of the un-
just acts of the Board of County
Commissioners OF Elmore County
as a Board of Equalization, we,
citizens and taxpayers of Gilmore
county, in mass meeting assem-
bled, believe it is for. the best in
terests of the county that they be
removed from office, and we re-
quest G. e. Corker to bring such
action as he deems best for their
removal, and we pledge him our
moral support in any such action
he may bring.
We further learned that there
were about 40 present, including
practically all the leading business
men of the town; that e. Pearson
presided and and L. L. Daus was
secretary; that it was the unani-
nous sentiment of those present
that the Commissioners should be
removed, and that the resolution
was unanimously adopted, and Mr..
Corker has retained w. G. HOWE
in the matter.

the day was over, by the start of
the team he was driving, he was
thrown down in the wagon and
his right shoulder was severely in
jured. lie received no medical
assistance until he came into town
next day. He thinks the shoulder
was dislocated, but he worked it
into place during the night by his
own exertions-a very painful
process. He goes about the streets

PRESIDENT TOLD FIRST.
Enjoys Send Ne1cs to HIM Ahead
of Their Ozm Capitals.

Portsmouth. n. H. Aug 29.-Herbert H. D.
Peirce. Third Assistant Secretary OF State, the
Presidents representative at the conference.
the first person outside the conference room
TO be informed that agreement had been
reached. For half hour he the only
one besides the plenipotentiaries and their sec
retaries who knew 1t. The plenipotentlaries
decided that the first message announcing the
conclusion OF peace should be sent to the Presi-
dent at Oyster Bay. and. in the hope that he
might receive the news even before Toxic or ST.
Petersburg, held the official bulletin for half an
hour.
Mr.. Peirce had delivered to Baron Komura
this morning communication from the PresI-
dent. which had arrived after the conference
opened II was Just IL o'clock. when Baron
Komura was called from the conference room
to receive this message, the contents of which
are not known and about which 1T would be idle
to speculate An hour later Baron Komura sent
one of his secretaries to Mr.. Peirce's offics in
the same building. saying he wished to see him.
Mr. Peirce Immediately responded and met
Baron Komura in the latter's private reception
room. supposing he TO receive a reply to the
Presidents message. He wholly unpre-
pared for the momentous news which Baron
Komura gave him.
Without the slightest evidence of emotion of
any kind Baron Komura quietly said:
Will you be good enough. Mr. Secretary. TO
communicate TO the President this message on
behalf of the Russian and japanese plenipo-
tentiaries. We desire that he should he the
first to receive the news We have reached an
agreement on all points and will proceed to
the elaboration Of treaty.
For a moment the two stood silently looking
at each other. but only for a moment. Mr..
Peirce quickly recovered from his amazement
and extended to Baron Komura his congratula-
tions and at once hurried to his Office, where he
personally began the coding of the message for
the President. He assisted by his two secre-
taries. but the work required some time
At the luncheon at the navy yard TO-DAY Mr.
Peirce, Baron komura and NJ. Takahira sat
alone at one table the Russian and Japanese
secretaries sitting together at the other table.

THE CAUSES.

First-Russias policy of playing fast and loose
with her promises as to the evacuation Of Man
ohuria. whereby Chinas sovereignty over hat land
practically annulled, and the equal commercial
rights therein of the rest of the world seriously
threatened. Second-Russia's refusal recognize
Japan's paramount interests in COrea, and her own
diplomatic moves in that peninsula looking to
ward treaty rights under which she might gain
control Of the port of Fusan, the more northern
harbors of Vladivostok and Port Arthur having
proved less serviceable than had been anticipated.
Third-Japan's seven year-Old grudge against r
sia for ousting her from Port Arthur at the close
of her contest with China. and (aso) Russia fatal
ignorance of Japan's preparedness and her over
confidence in her own strength.
THE RESULTS.
First-Japan has reacquired control Of Corea
establishing a protectorate and appointing an
American Durham White Stevens as adviser to the
Emperor. Second-Japan has regalned possession of
Port Arthur and the Liao-Tu peninsula and OF so
much of Manchuria will warrant its return TO
China, with open doors to the trade of the world.
Third International law has gained a clearer
knowledge than has before been had of what con
stitutes "contraband OF war and TO what lengths
a naval officer may properly go in the right of
search" Both of these advances have been made
largely through the prompt diplomacy Of the late
Secretary of State. John Hay. Fourth-Russia GER
tainly VIII not get the Pacific Coast the ice free
port for which she has so long been looking.

TEE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT
1t was what NJ Witte had termed the 'psy-
Geological moment" He did not finch. He ex-
pected rupture, and. as he expressed 1t after
ward. he was stunned by what happened. Baron
Komura gave way all the disputed points
With the prescience that has enabled the Jap
anese to gauge the mental processes of thet
adversaries on the field of battle and on tID
sea, they had realized in advance that peae
could be obtained in no other way They had
warned their government. President Roosevelt
had also. it is believed. advised Japan that 1t
was better 10 meet the Russian position thin

for the purpose of collecting tribute. The
Mikado. at the session of the Cabinet and Elter

concession
When Baron Komura yielded. the rest vas
mere child's play. Articles 10 and II. inferred
warships and the limitation of Russia's IA
power in the Far East, were withdrawn. japan
agreed that only that portion of the Chin.se
Eastern Railroad south of Chantfu. the position
occupied by Oyama. should be ceded to japan.
Both sides, once the deadlock was brolen,
wanted Just and lasting peace and in nat
spirit it was decided practically to neutraize
Saghalien, each country binding itseef not to
fortify its half of the island and Japan asstm-
ing obligation not to fortify La Percuse

A NEW CLAUSE IN THE TREATY.

| A NEW CLAUSE IN THE TREATY.
THE Observation-Disclosures went further. They de-
| cided to add a new clause In the nature Oh
broad provision for mutual commercial priVi-
Ieres by which each country Will secure Tor tne
other the benefit of the ''most favored nation
clause and the open door, The new treaty "i'''
therefore be a wonderfully friendly document
of a character almost to raise the Suspicion tae
the two countries have not negouaIeo peace
but have concluded the basis OF future ALL
ance. There is however. no evidence. as ru-
mored, that any secret clauses are 10 DC ap-
pended to the present treaty.
Before leaving the conference building feHci-
tations were exchanged with the President at
Oyster Bay Both Baron Komura and N. Witte
telegraphed The former confined himself 10
apprising the President of the conditions on
which peace had been concluded. M. Witte,
more expansive frankly laid his tribute at the
Presidents feet. In his message he said:
History will ascribe to you the glory for
the peace of Portsmouth" and added the express
sion of Russias hearty appreciation OF the
Presidents generous Initiative" The Presi-
dent replied with words of thanks and congratu-
lations.
Then began the jubilation. NJ. witte and
Baron Rosen returned to the hotel for luncheon.
The Japanese had remained at the conference
that peace had been concluded had preceded the
Russian plenipotentiaries. and scenes Of wild
rejoicing greeted them on their arrival at the
hotel. NJ. Witte dazed at the sudden and happy
termination of the conference, fairly over
powered by the greeting he received. He could
only express his gratitude by shaking the hands
of everybody. and in response to the volley Of
questions fired at him as to the terms say:
I'VE pay not kOpeck and we get half OF
Sa ghalien."
NJ. WITTE REJOICES.
Later. IN his room. when he had partially re-
covered himself he declared that he could not
have dreamed of such a victory-for that he re-
CARDS it a diplomatic triumph of the first
magnitude he makes no attempt 20 conceal.
And that is the general verdict here tonight
The Russians are overjoyed at the result.
I'VE have had our Liao-Yangs and Moukdens
on land" they say, "and Tsushimas on
sea. but the japanese have had their Ports
mouth"
Though NJ. Witte Is not diplomatist. they
declare that he has outmaneuvred the Japa-
Eese, yielding one by one TO the conditions until
hs forced them into corner on the main issue
of indemnity and left them no escape, except
surrender to convert the war into war to
collect tribute The Russians declared that.
automatically, the Japanese made their colossal
blunder when they agreed TO consider the con-
ditions seriatim.
THE JAPANESE REASONING.
Despite the fact that neither of the japanese
plenipotentiaries would talk for publication.
their line of reasoning can be presented in the
words of another:

They may call 1T a diplomatic victory. but we
