danger. The Russian government can
devote itself to the restoration of in
ternal peace and that of Japan to the
restoration of Corea. Each has been
so much worn down by war and is in
such need Of rest that they are likely
to remain at peace for many years.
Enthusiasm Is Great.
News of peace was received outside
OF the conference room and in the
streets and hotels of Portsmouth with
the widest enthusiasm. The tidings
spread with the rapidity of the passage
of light Men were cheering every

thrown into the air and the scene was

Since vague rumbings of discomfort
on the part of the anthracite miners have
been heard the Reading and Pennsylva-
mia, especially the former, have been lay
ing up unusual quantities of coal. 1t is
significant that an official. high in the
Reading Coal and Iron Company. recent
ly declared that by next April the COM
pany would have on hand a supply of
anthracite sufficient for one year. Should
President Mitchell remain firm in his
announced intention of presenting the
miners ultimatum to Baer at the con-
clusiOn of the agreement now in force
a strike surely will follow.
Should Baer and the operators agree
to meet Mitchell the latter's demands
are certain to be refused, and the an
thracite regions again will be the scene
OF monster strike. Since the last
strike, however, conditions have changed
considerably, and, for a variety of causes,
the miners would find themselves face
to face with q greater uphill fight. Stor-
ing up of coal by operators shows they
will be more prepared for the crisis in
1906 than they were in 1902, and the
miners chances of producing a fuel fam
inc will be diminished accordingly.
The miners Offset this, however, by
declaring that, as the soft coal agree
ments, where such have been made, will
expire simultaneously with the life of the
anthracite strike commissions decision,
the United Mine Workers, which have
jurisdiction in both hard and soft coal
fields, will inaugurate universal strike

The State board will send a physician
and two nurses 10 the place Immediately,
and a supply of medicines and provisions
also will be forwarded.
The local situation continues to be of
the most hopeful character. and the con-
fidence of the federal authorities is grow
ing that the disease will have practically
disappeared before frost. The earliest
recorded frost in New Orleans occurred
in the second half of October, but the
average appearance is between the mid
die of November and December.

The result was not brought about by

much to do with bringing about these
overwhelming concessions by the Japan

Wind Helped Game-Fast Time
In the Hundred y ard
Race
BY AssocIated rrass.

BY Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 20
Yales track team won the annual dual
meet with Harvard today. The score
was: Yale, 65 1-6; Harvard, Ss 5-16. In
only one event was there anything like
an upset. This was in the mile run,
when Olcott of Yale outsprinted Grant
of Harvard In the last quarter.
The games were held under less fa-
vorable conditions than in many years
a cold northwest wind sweeping across
the field. The wind is credited with
having helped the sprinters to the ex-
tent of a broken record in the 220-yard
dash, when Capt. Shick of Harvard
won 1t in the final in 21 2-5 seconds.
which is one-fifth of a second better
than his own record in these games
two years ago. The judges did not
decide that Shick's performance in the
final was a new record. and it is not
likely to be allowed. In the 100yard
dash Shick equalled his own record Of
9 4-5 seconds.
Yale's team showed superiority in all
the field events except the broad jump
and the shot-put. In the pole vault,
Yale took first place by a tie between
Dray and Hinton and third place was
split between two other Yale men and
a Harvard vaulter, giving Yale 2-3
&c nf n Tho broad
jump went to Jordan of Harvard. who
got less than an inch and half the
better of Knox, a freshman, upon
whom the Yale men counted to take
the event.
