GAR WIRES LINEVITCH
Russian Ruler Sends Message to Army
in Manchurla

in Manchurla
By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 3.-The
emperor on Friday last telegraphed the
following to Gen. Linevitch:
"'The negotiations at Portsmouth
led on August 10 to refusal of the de-
mands of the Japanese government re-
garding the cession of the island Of
Sakhalin, the payment of war in
demnity, the surrender of our ships
lying in neutral harbor and limitation
of our forces in the waters of the Pa
cific ocean. After further negotiations
Japan on August 30 yielded all our
conditions, but asked for the return of
that portion of Sakhalin occupied by
Japanese troops which is the part held
by Japan until 1875 and then ceded by
treaty to Russia.
1.-THE self sacrificing army so dear to
me withstood the assault of a numeric-
ally superior enemy in Manchuria step
by step during 10 months, obstinately
repulsing his advance. Under your
leadership the army was reorganlzed
and strengthened by the arrival of
troops from Russia and it is now
greater in numbers and stronger than
before.
"I and all Russia belive in the
strength of my glorious army and in
it's readiness to sacrifice itself for the
good of the fatherland but my duty
to my conscience and to the people en-
trusted to me by God commands me
not to again put to the test the valor
of Russian men so dear to my heart
and not to expose them to fresh and
endless horrors of war in order to re-
tain half of a remote island which ia
pan ceded to us 1875 and l therefore ac-
cepted the preliminary peace negotia-
tions.
1.-The Russian troops have repeated
ly proved during this sanguinary con-
f1ict valor and self-sacrifice.
Convey this to my dear army. May
it know that 1 and Russia value the
sacrifices which it has made in this
severe war;

sia.
The text of the treaty will not be
made public at Portsmouth. II II ever
is it will be after it has received the
approvci of the two emperors. M.
wirte when questioned upon this sub
tect by the Associated Press, remark
ed laughingly:
You are at liberty to announce both
in Europe and in America that we are
willing to make the treaty of Ports
mouth public ais soon as the new
Anglo-Japanese treaty is given to the
world
The signing of the treaty is to be
very exclusive affair. The Japanese
objected to the presence of any news
paper correspondents or photograph
ers and it has therefore been decided
that beside the plenipotentiaries and
SECRETARIES there shall be present only
Assistant Secretary Peirce, represent
ing the President; Gov. McLane of
New Hampshire, the mayor of Ports
mouth, Admiral Meade, and the COM
manders of any United States ships
in the harbor. in this case only Capt.
Winslow of the Mayflower.

Fever In Indian Territory

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Sept 3.-Maj,
Gen. Haynes, commanding the Arkan-
sas militia, which is furnishing the

existence of a case of yellow fever at
Maysville, I. T.. and Immediately gave

M. Witte Is Impatient


Now when the Japanese are still
continuing their policy of insistence
upon words or phrases M. Witte is
showing considerable impatience. He
is extremely anxious to have the treaty
finished and signed at the earliest mo-
ment to preclude the possibility of
pressure from the home government
upon minor points.
Especially at st. Petersburg there is
constant danger that instructions at
the last moment may come to try to
got this concession or that concession,
and thus only bring diplomatic dis
cussions which might indefinitely pro-
long the negotiations.
One Of the articles in the treaty pro-
vides for the protection of private
rights and property acquired under
Russian control in Southern Sakhalin
and in Dalny, Port Arthur and other
places in the Liao -.Tung peninsula.
The Russian government has had in
Vulnerable petitions on this subject.
Several of them are from Americans
who held concessions in Southern SAX
halin. While of the two countries the
| actual text will not be known at Toxic
or st. Petersburg until the plenipoten-
| tiaries arrive.
M. Witte will personally convey the
text to st. Petersburg and Baron Ko-
mura to Toxic. This is the reason why
both are anxious to get home as soon
as possible as the treaty does not go
into force until the two emperors have
signed it. To avoid the delay of ex-
change of documents which would in
volve six weeks at least, of the noti-
fcation of the final approval by the
emperor's will be made through neu-
trails, the United States in the case OF

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Sept. 3.-Af-
ter being treated to every variety of
weather the peace conference promises
to end in the midst of a raging north
easter. Since last night it has been
blowing a gale, accompanied by tor
rents of rain. According to local ira
ditions, such northeasters continue for
three days, so that it probably will last
over the day on which the treaty is
signed.
The plenipotentiaries and the at
taches of the two missions seem to be
fully as anxious for the curtain to
ring down on the final act of the
drama as the little colony of newspa-
per correspondents and summer guests
who are waiting to be lin at the

treaty has already begun, Mr.. Rojest-

still continue. The Japanese are prov

Disaerees With London

AS contrasted with this doctrine, ac-
cording to which institutions created
by the barbaric passions of man can
be amended by the juster thought of
civilized man, he gave the position
taken by London in his recent work
and there given as representing the
position of scientific Socialism; that
1.-The cardinal tenet of Socialism is that
forbidding doctrine, the materialistic
conception of history. Men are not the
masters of their souls. They are the
puppets of great, blind forces The
lives they live and the deaths they die
are compulsory. Economic laws de-
termine at any given time what these
institutions shall be, how long they
shall operate and by what they shall
be replaced" And so. through the
economic process the Socialist breaches
the ripening of the capitalistic society
and the coming of the cooperative
society.
From the passage quoted, which oc-
ours on page 243 of Mr.. London's re-
Gently published book, the author de-
duces what he terms the second great
law of Socialism, viz, the class strug-
gle, as to which he says that "soci-
ology has taught the workingman that
m-i-g-h-t spells right
1t was pointed out by the speaker
that the positions occupied respectively
by Tolstoy' and London are as differ
ent as night is from day, and that it
was of paramount Importance to
everyone who aspires to work in the
solution of the problems of the day to
determine for himself on which side he
stands.
A discussion followed the speaking.
The club has moved into a much i'm
proved hall and the meeting was we'll
attended, much interest being mani
tested.

PROGRESSIVE CLUB REoPENS

The Progressive club resumed Its
sessions after the summer vacation
with an address at Symphony hall, 232
South Hill street by William c. Owen
on "Tolstoy, the Apostle of Right 1t
was announced in the circular that the
speaker would endeavor to explain the
exact position of Tolstoy in the world
of revolutionary thought as contrasted
with the following, taken from THE
Glass Struggle" by Jack London: THE
question to be solved is not one OF
ethics, it is a question of might"
The speaker strove to show that Toll
stoy in his we'll known opposition to
war, to government, to superstition and
to violence, and in his advocacy Of the
land for the people, based his position
entirely on the ground that these ideas
were in accord with the enlightened
opinion of the age as opposed to the
barbarism of the past; that they sprang
from a truer and more civilized appre-
citation of the meaning of life both. for
the individual and for the nation, which
Is but the individual multiplied; that
Tolstoy looked to thought as the sole
solution of the problems that confront
the world. and that he maintained that
the real struggle going on was not the
war between Russia and Japan, or be-
tween the white and the yellow races,
or between classes, but that between
ideas, the enlightened ideas of frater-
nifty and freedom as opposed to the bar
barrie ideas of force, fraud and war,
whether on the battle field or in the
arena of commercialism.

Testing Cream.

Bulletin No. 104, of Purdue Univer-
sity Experiment Station, by Prof. H..
E. Van Norman, On an "Alkali Test for
Ripeness of Cream" just published, is
a very interesting one, and may be
had by writing the university at Lafay-
cite, Indiana The method of this test
is very simple and will be found very
interesting to dairymen. Prof. Van
Norman in the bulletin says of the
test:
"This test is particularly adapted to
creamery conditions. However, there
is no reason why the dairyman who is
making a considerable amount of but
ter, sufficient to justify the labor,
should not become familiar with this
test even though he may not use it
regularly. If he is supplying critical
trade at satisfactory price it is de-
sirable to use every means to secure
uniformity of product.
During the ripening of cream the
milk sugar in it is converted into Tactic
acid by bacteria. The measurement of
the amount of acid developed during
the ripening is the nearest approach
we have to a measure of the ripeness
of the cream. For this purpose Mann's
acid test and Farrington's alkali test
have been used with marked success.
Where either one of these tests are
regularly used, it is the almost uni
versal experience that the quality or

through unclean separators, bring
their cream in dirty cans and make
trouble for the butter-makers gener-
ally. 1t is possible, we believe, to
make the average patron see the ne
cessity for cleanliness; and 1t lies
with the creamery management and
the butter-maker to accomplish this.
It's no small task. 1t can't be COM
pleted in a moon. 1t will require a
ceaseless warfare; but a little effort
will soon show results. In the CAM

How to Sell Butter.

In the open market dealers prefer to
have no private stencil or trade mark
on the package, and especially do they
object to the name and address, writes
J. H. Monrad in an exchange. Il you
use these and your butter is not up to
the standard, leave them off, and in
any case always notify your receiver
if for some reason shipment or part
of one is not as good as usual.
Too much stress cannot be laid on
keeping the packages clean and pro-
tected from heat and dust in hauling
to market or to the railway, and while
waiting for the train. Too often have
I seen tubs exposed for hours to the
sun on the station platform, and If the
creamery man cannot attend to it him.
self he ought to arrange with the agent
to have the tubs protected and not
soiled in loading.
Never contract your butter for a
whole year at the quotations OF a GER
tain market. Whenever large MUM
Der of creameries do that, it is temp
tation for the buyer to manipulate that
market. Indeed, some of the boards
of trade become more or less OF a
farce, when less than One-tenth OF the
butter from the members is put up and
sold On the open board. If you sell at
all, sell at fixed price.
Never ship a sample shipment to
an unknown house" which offers to
buy it at a cent or two above the mar
ket If they do not fleece you the first
time they will do SO when they get
large shipment. They often send cir
culars giving well-known names as
references without authority.
Never try to put two commission
houses in the same city against each
other by dividing a shipment, espec-
tally if you use your own stencil. Ii
you have a good commission house
stick to it so as to give it chance to
work up trade on your butter.
Always insist on prompt account
of sale and remittance. The lack OF
this shows either lack of good bust
ness system, or their desire to run
their business with your money.

Mr.. Douty has a partner in the
