banking interests are Of the opinion
that the treaty OF peace between Rus
sia and Japan will soon be followed by
a Russian loan and with another later
by Japan. The extent of the loans will
depend largely upon the provisions OF
the agreement between the two coun-
tries. Bankers believe that Russia will
make liberal compensation to Japan,
although this may be provided for in
separate understanding. 1t is known
that Russia has made all preparations
for placing part Of loan here. and 1t

plates raising more money to pay In

Portsmouth. y. H., Special.-The
long and bloody war between Japan
and Russia Is ended. The terms OF
peace were settled by Mr.. Witte and
Baron Komura at the session of the
conference Tuesday morning and Tues
day afternoon preliminary arrange
ments for an armistice were concluded
and the actual work Of framing the
Treaty OF Portsmouth" was by mu-
tual agreement turned over 10 Mr.. D.
Martens, RuSsia's great international
lawyer, and Mr.. Dennison, who for %
years has acted as the legal adviser OF
the japanese Foreign Office.
The treaty is expected to be COM
pleted by the end of the week.
This happy conclusion of the con-
ference, which a week ago, would have
been shipwrecked had it not been for
the heroic intercession Of President
Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic.
For the sake Of peace, Japan, with the
magnanimity of a victor, at the last
moment yielded everything still in is
sue. Russia refused to bulge from the
fir:matum of the Car. given to Pres
ident Roosevelt through Ambassador
Meyer. No indemnity under any
guise, but an agreement to divide SAX
halin and reimburse Japan for the
maintenance OF the Russian prisoners
were his last words. They had been
repeatedly reiterated in Mr.. Whites
instructions, and in the form OF a
written reply to the japanese COM
promise proposals of last wednesday
they were delivered to Baron komura
this morning.
TOTAL SURPRISE TO WITTE.
Mr.. Witte went to the conference de-
claring he was powerless to change the
cot of an 'i" or the cross Of ''t' in
his instructions. Gar Nicholas word
had been given not only to him but to
President Roosevelt, the head Of for
e;gn state. When Baron Komura
therefore first offerer the new
basis of compromise, outlined in
the dispatches (the complete renunci-
alton Of indemnity, coupled with q
proposition for the redemption Of SAX,
halin at 4 price to be fixed by mixed
tribunal consisting Of representatives
Of the neutral power-in feet, If not in
words, the solution offered by Presi-
dent Roosevelt) Mr.. Witte again re-
turned a non possumas. II was what
Mr.. Witte termed in an interview with
the press the physiological moment.
Mr.. Witte did not finch. He expected
a rupture and as he expressed it after
ward he was stunned by what happen
led. Baron Komura gave way on al
the disputed points. With the pre-
science that mas enabled the Japanese
TO gauge the mental processes OF theil
adversaries on the field Of battle and
upon the sea, they had realized in ad'
vance that peace could be obtained II
no other way They had their govern
ment. President Roosevelt. had also
it Is said, advised Japan that 1t was
better to meet the Russian positions
than to take the responsibility OF con
tinuiny the war for the purpose OF col.
lecting tribute The Mikado, at the
session OF the cabinet and elder states
men yesterday, had sanctioned the fl
nal concession. When Baron KoEurs
yielded, the rest was mere child's
pay.

Notice has been called to the atten-
ton Of The Beacon that Sheriff Dant-
zler has been the object of criticism be-
cause he did not arrest the negro Dave
Parks, who came to Macon last We'd
nesday week to give himself up for kill
ing another negro and wounding Mr..
VIII Thomas in the Macedonia neigh
borhood about two weeks ago. The
criticism was o%ccasioncd by the notice
IN the Beacon that the negro had come
to town for the purpose Of giving him
self up, and had talked to several par
ties here as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of doing
to. He was advised by these parties
to go to the Sheriff and give up and
stand his trial, but he did not do so,
and the Sheriff did not know until
Friday that the negro had been to
town. The parties with whom the
negro talked did not mention the fact
TO the Sheriff that the negro had been
here as they thought he would take
the advice to give himself up
NoXubee has never had a Sheriff who
was more conscientious in the perform
ance Of his duty than Sheriff Dantzlcr,
and if he has been criticized on ac-
count of the article in The Beacon, it
was on account Of how the article
was read and not what was actually
said in the paper, for what the Beacon
did say wa that the negro talked to
several parties, and we had no idea
of making the assertion that he, the
negro, talked to the Sheriff, who
refused to arrest him, as has been as
serted by some.
