President Roosevelt has sounded

policy against railroad abuses and
the granting Of rebates Tn" suit
against the Santa f. railroad, Grim.
lnallv involving officials OF that
system in granting rebates 10 the
Colorado Fuel aud Iron Company,

The President approves OF, II he
did not inspire, the decision OF At.

cred with the prosecution, because
of his friendship for his retiring
Secretary Of the Navy, who was
vice president Of the SANTA Fee at
the time the rebates cited IN the IN.
formation were given aud who Is
involved in the transaction. The
casr against the Santa fe was
worked up by the Interstate Com
mcrrr Commission after much
uniustaking inquiry, and Secretary
Morton admitted before the com
mission, while on the witness stand,
that whcn he was vice president OF
that road rebates were granted.
This hating or backing down OF
President Roosevelt, in the face Of
what is believed to be a plain and
admitted ease of rebate giving, Is
calculated to weaken the faith of
the public in the Presidents SIN
cerity and to arouse doubts of his
moral courage to enforce the crIm-
inol statutes against officials OF big

ARMISTICE Decided upon Pend.
ing TREATY.
Baron kOmura Conveys r1ikadO's
Wishes to Russian Envoy at
Night-PreparafiO of Treaty Is
Proceeding at Rapid Rate-Care
In phraseOIOqy.

Portsmouth, N. a., Sept. Japan,
through Baron Komura, has agreed to
the immediate conclusion Of an armis-
tice. At IL O'Clock last night Mr..
Takahira went to Baron de Rosen's
room and explained that he and Baron
Komura had received instructions to
arrange terms of an armistice.
Baron Rosen Immediately communi
Gated with Mr.. Witte, and a meeting
will be held during the day for the
proclamation of a complete suspension
of hostilities preliminary to the ar
rangement Of the details by the two
generals upon the battlefield.
Gen. Linevitch has been advised of
the practical conclusion of peace and
directed to hold himself in readiness
to open with Field Marshal Oyama ne
gotiations for an armistice.
Draft OF Treaty Progressing.
So rapidly and we'll is Mr.. de Mar.
tens, with Mr.. Dennison, performing
his delicate and important task Of
drafting the treaty that he was able
to return from the navy yard last night
to report to Mr.. Witte the practical
completion of ten articles Of the treaty.
1t is expected that the treaty will, in
its entirety, consist Of fifteen articles,
exclusive Of the preamble.
Japsn's original demands are said
to have numbered thirteen. Only
twelve, however, were presented to
the Russians, as President Roosevelt
is credited with persuading the Jap
anese plenipotentiaries before the con-
vening of the conference to withdraw
one Of the conditions which he regard
ed as unjust.
Whether this thirteenth demand
dealt with the Notifications at Vladi-
vostok cannot be learned.
Having waived three Of the demands
presented, the Japanese final conditions
were nine. Several of these, however,
will be divided in the treaty and
grouped into two or more articles.
Vitte Anxious to Sail.
Mr.. Witte is exceedingly anxious to
sail for home on September IL. In the
meantime he is to take leave of Preai-
dent Roosevelt and personally present
the thanks Of the emperor for the pres
ident's assistance. He is therefore do
ing what he can to hasten the drafting
of the treaty, which he would prob
ably be prepared to sign by Tuesday or
Wednesday of next week at the latest
unless some obstacle should arise.
The only difficulties which have
thus far appeared have been due to the
ambiguity of the language Of certain
parts Of the daily protocols which form
the framework of the treaty. Both
Mr.. de Martens and Mr.. Dennison,
who are we'll learned in international
law, are selecting with great care the
language of each article, in order that
the treaty may furnish no ground for
difference in the future.

HAGUE CONFERENCE
MAY FOLLOW PEACE

Washington, Aug. Silt is regarded
here as probable that Immediately on
the conclusion and final signature Of
the peace treaty between Russia and
Japan there will be renewed effort to
secure another meeting of The Hague
conference in accordance with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's suggestion to the pow
ers last spring.
Following the original proposition
the president sent out second note
stating to the powers that in his judg.
ment further proceedings in connection
with the call should be left to the res
ident council at The Hague.
Nearly all of the powers addressed,
while accepting the project, qualified
their acceptance with the statement
that the new conference should be de-
ferred until the conclusion of the hes
Utilities between Japan and Russia.
There the matter has rested, and II
probably will require the issuance OF
a third circular note to set the wheels
in motion and bring about the desired
conference.
Any of the signatory powers might
feel disposed to put forth such note.
but on the whole it is regarded as rath
or more probable that President Roose
welt will complete the movement he
initiated, and soon after Secretary
Roots return to Washington the presi
dent will advise with him touching
the issuance of the necessary reminder

TRAINING the BABY.

After Mrs. Walters had read up
the subject thoroughly and tabulated
the results Of her investigation her
methodical mind--she told her hus-
band, says the Chicago News. that
she was going to make a change with
| baby. I'VE have been making a mis-.
take with him. Last night after din
ner we played with him and rocked
him for a full hour. Tonight he is to
be put to bed, and left to go to sleep
| by himself"
Walters, who Is an extremely youth
full father, was about tc say that rock
ing the baby was part of the fun
this was not likely to meet with the
approval of his wife's more serious
mind, SO he suggested instead that
| baby might cry.
| 1--WE must be prepared for that
Mrs. Walters said, gently but firmly.
For night or two he may cry very
| hard. But conscientious parents will
not neglect the best good Of their chill.
dren because of a few tears"
| Mrs. Walters did not give her reso
luton time to cool. The baby, dimpled
and cooling and ready for his evening
frOlic, was put to bed and the door
closed upon him. At first he appeared
| to regard this as a new feature OF the
game. From the next room his parents
could hear occasional interrOgatory
gurgles Then there came faint
wall, then a flood Of invective in baby
language.
Hes calling us names now said
Walters I'm glad he takes that tack
rather than the plaintive."
He had hardly spoken when an ear
splitting shrek sounded from the next
room. Walters sprang to his feet, but
| his wife waved him back.
This was only what was to be ex
pected Robert" she said, determined
though pale He will cry hard 10
night. and possibly tomorrow night
BY that time he will have learned his
lesson All the authorities l have con
suited agree that it is impossible fol
a healthy child of his age to injure
himself by crying"
Walters suggested that it would
have been better to accustOm him tC
the change gradually On this point
too, his wife was firm, quoting her au
thoritles with irritating readiness. The
Walterses are a harmonious couple
| but this time they came near quar-
rel.
There, he's quleting down at last,
said Mrs. Walters, triumphantly, anG
she was right Babys frantic outcries
had given way to pitiful sobs. Pres
emily these also ceased, and Mrs
Walters smiled across the table at heI
husband. who smiled back. Both were
SO relieved that the ordeal was owe.
that they were inclined to overlool
whatever might have been unpleasant
In the past.
Now. you see, he's asleep. I'm go
ing to take a peep at him."
She stepped lightly across the roor
and opened the door Of the bedroom
Then she uttered succession o.
shrieks compared to which baby's re
cent exhibitions We're as nothing. With
a bound Walters was at her side, fear
ing he knew not what.
The baby lay on the floor. bi,
lump on his forehead caused by hitting
was sleeping peacefully In spite OF the
fact that there were undried tears OF
his cheek.

Walla Walla, Aug. 31.-Capt Wood
and seven other employees of the state
penitentiary who were implicated in
the attempted registration Irregular.
ties in Walla Walls prior to the last
city election will he discharged as soon
as other men selected to fill their places
reach Walla Walla. This announce
ment was made last night by Gov.
Mead. The governor said:
81 have not receded from the posi-
ton l assumed after 1 had made a
complete investigation Of the entire
proceedings.
my visit to the penitentiary was
simply to discuss with Warden KEGS
as to the persons who have been select.
cd to take the places Of the men whom
suggested to the warden should be
discharged.
Their places will be filled as rapid
ly as possible, but gradually, in order
that the efficiency Of the force at the
institution may not be crippled in car
rying out the administration Of affairs
there"
Early yesterday morning Gov. Mead
and warden KEGS went into consulta-
'tion over the matter and long confer
ence followed. A number of loca
politicians met the governor at the
warden's residence and discussed with
him the question Of the dismissal of
the guards. Among the number were
Senator Ankeny, State Senator Pauly
and Estate Senator Cornwell. They
urged the governor to recede from the
position he had taken, but the execu-
tive announced that the matter was q
closed incident.
Friends of Warden KEGS stated last
night that he had no intention of re-
signing his position by reason Of the
governors action in holding to his
original order to dismiss the guards.
The men will be allowed to tender
their designations and retire gradually
from the institution.
