EXCITING SESSION OF TRANS
MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS-
RESOLUTION is COMPROMISE
Opposition Is Led by Judge John E.
Raker Of Californla-Kansas
City Chosen as Next
Meeting Place
BY Associated Press.

PORTLAND. Ore, Aug. 19-Today's
session Of the Transmississippi con-
gress, which concluded today its six
teenth annual meeting was a stormy
one. Dlscord occurred over the passage
of a compromise resolution on the sub
ject of Chinese immigration. The reso-
luton was adopted by the congress, but
only after every step had been bitterly
contested by a portion Of the California
delegation, headed by Judge John e.
Raker and Frank H. Gould, who want
ed the congress to take an emphatic
stand in favor of exclusion. The reso-
luton, while not specific is generally
considered favorable to the conten-
tions of those who advocate reconstruc-
ton Of the exclusion law so as to admit
a certain number of Chinese coolies in
consideration of the abandonment of
the Chinese boycott,
The resolution which caused the dis
cord petitions the president of the Unit
ed States to, If deemed expedient, reit-
crate the instructions for proper treat
ment of the privileged classes of China,
to ascertain through the proper chan
nels the reasons for the present boy
colt and to appoint a commission to
investigate and to report to congress
with recommendation for a compre-
hensive immigration law, framed to re-
move from the United States and our
insular possessions all undesirable per-
sons from every country.
Chairman F. w. Fleming of the reso-
lutions committee had scarcely finished
reading the resolution when Judge
John E. Raker of California was on his
feet.
Framed to remoNe-remove," he
shouted. That means nothing. Let
me tell you, we are treading on dan
gerous grounds; we are playing with
fire. This resolution will prove to be a
two-edged sword. We of California
and IT, any state in the union knows
what Chinese coolie labor means, Cali
fornia ought to know-we of California
protest against the great Transmissis-
sippi Commercial congress passing this
resolution. Let the question come be-
fore the congress- in the proper manner,
do we favor the exclusion of Chinese
or do we not?' Let the delegates vote
on that" 5-o
A motion by Mr. Raker to table the
resolution was followed by a long
wrangle over parliamentary law be-
tween those who wanted to speak in
favor of the motion and those favoring
the resolution.
In the end a motion to reconsider
failed to carry by the overwhelming
vote of 204 to 43 in its favor.
The congress today unanimously
selected Kansas City, Mo-, as the next
meeting place and chose the officers
by the permanent organ
Ization committee.

PEKING, Aug. 19.-While the Japa-
nese and Russian peace penipoten-
tiaries have failed to arrange an armis-
tice during their negotiations the
weather is enforcing an effectual arm
istice for the month of August. Opera
tions on a large scale by either army
are impossible at the present time and
the situation will probably be un-
changed for the next fortnight or three
weeks.
The rains throughout Manchuria
have been unusually heavy and pro-
longed this summer. The country is
now swamp and the roads are so soft
that attempts TO move artillery and
heavy transports would be out of the
question. There were many heavy rains
in June and July and the rainy sea-
son began in earnest about the middle
of July For three weeks there was
downpour almost daily. The valleys
east Of the railway in particular, are
inundated and the streams are swollen,
making the movement of carts and
horses very slow and difficult.
The japanese army was fully pre-
pared for a general advance before the
rains began and probably will give
battle quickly with its whole strength
as soon as the country is sufficiently
dry should the peace negotiations fail.
Great reserves OF supplies have been
accumulated by the Japanese at the
front and at Mukden, Telling and
other base depots.
The army is in better condition than
ever before for work. The health Of
the troops throughout the summer has
been kept at a high standard and the
percentage OF sickness has been far
below that Of the same period last
year.
The armys energies have been de-
voted 10 transporting munitions, build

Japan Must be ReImbursed


Japan Must Be Reimbursed
The president was in full possession
of Japans views and knew on what
point she might, under certain condi-
tions yield, and what demands were re-
garded as essential and Interchangeable.
Japan, it can be stated must somehow
be reimbursed for the cost Of the war.
Unless the emperor shall change his
position, which his plenipotentiaries do
not for a moment believe is probable,
Russia must yield on article nine, the
war indemnity or Japan will be forced
to continue the war. The Associated
Press is further authorized to say that
the Japanese plenipotentiaries have not
recommended to their government re-
traction of the principle for which the
war was fought and for which Baron
Komura and Mr.. Takahira have been
striving earnestly throughout the con-
ference.
Up to midnight neither Baron Ko-
nura nor Mr.. Takahira had received
from the president an invitation to
go to Oyster Bay, but it is re-
garded as not improbable that the
president, after his conference with
Baron de Rosen, may desire further in
formation regarding Japan's position
in this crisis, and, to obtain this. may
request Mr.. Takahira to come to oyster
Bay for a conference. Should such an
invitation be received the minister will
leave Immediately. Unless, however,
the president wishes to know some
thing more about the Japanese de-
mands, the members of the Japanese
mission here can see no occasion for a
visit to Oyster Bay by one Of their
number.
Feel Confidence In Roosevelt
Regarding the presidents latest
movement a Japanese authority said
tonight: TJapan's confidence in the
president as a great and good friend
has been strengthened rather than
shaken by his final effort on the eve of

done her utmost for peace; we believe
the president appreciates this and any
action that he may, in the light of his
knowledge take to serve the cause of
peace will find hearty sympathy and
support on the part of Japan. The
day that Russia realizes that Japans
irreducible minimum is irreducible,
peace will be much nearer"
There is much speculation tonight
regarding President Rosevet's propo-
sition, but the secret has been we'll
kept and there is absolutely no authen-
tic information on the question. So
intense is the interest here in the
change in the situation today that a
rumor in circulation at the Wentworth
tonight that the president expected to-
come to Portsmouth found many be-
levers. 1t is regarded here, however,
in official circles as most improba BILE.

TOXIC, Aug. 19.-The weight of pop
ular belief seems to anticipate and be
reconciled to the failure of the peace
negotiations at Portsmouth. The Japa-
nese public resolutely supports the de-
mands relating to reimbursement for
the expenses of the war and the cession
of Sakhalin island, and evidently pre-
fers a continuance Of the struggle to
the acceptance of lesser terms.
The press and Others are urging
that the Manchuria and Vladivostok
campaigns be vigorously pressed, and
also the seizure of Russia's possessions
on the Pacific coast.
The rains have ceased and fighting
in Manchuria country soon will be pos
sible.
Toxic continues exceedingly quiet and
calm. The market is showing some
weakness, but the declines are slight.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 19.-The
emperor's gift Of popular representation
was received quietly and without spec
ial manifestation by the uudemonstrat-
i've Russian people A stranger in st,
Petersburg would only have noticed
that the crowds in the streets were
carefully reading in the newspapers the
long columns of the manifesto and the
details of the project as they walked
home from church.
The newspapers, which published the
full text of the manifesto and the pro-
ject, as well as tables fixing the num-
ber of representatives, had little room
for comment. Except among the ex-
treme radicals, who had made up their
minds in advance to be dissatisfied, and
in the relctionist camp and among
others of extreme views, who believed
the emperor had surrendered far too
much in creating an assembly public
opinion is slow to crystallize as the
outlines of the new institutions are too
broad and complex to ne grasped and
understood on a first survey, but the
indications are that the project will be
popular. The manifesto mad very
good effect, as the revolutionists and
other agitators had been declaring that
the emperor had no intention of carry

THE CHiLD'S COMPLEXION.
Matter of Keeping the. Face
Clean and About Freckles.

Teach your little daughter TO wash
her face properly and see 20 it that she
follows your instructions faithfully.
Lntil she is old enough to take care OF
her complexion as we'll as you can, do
1t for her, no matter how busy you
are.
At night the face should be washed
with wan water and a little CASTLE
soap and scrubbed with towel until
it glows. TaKe care, however, not to
irritate the tender skin, which will not
stand as violent scrubbing as yours
will. Do not make practice of applying
any cream. as the less the young slim
knows of anything but soap and water
the better. In the morning only cold wa
ter should be used. This will close the
pores of the skin and keep it from be-
coming tender and chapping. Children

If your young beauty is marred by
a mass of frecnles, give time chance.
Many a freckled youngster has beau
tiful skin in later years. Freckles al
most invariably disappear to some ex-
tent, if not entirely. For the surface
freckles that come hurriedly at the
reckoning of the sun, you may use
some simple remedy, but never apply
one of the drastic bleaches to a child's
face. If you want to peel yourself
that is your own affair, but it is brutal
to treat a child in this manner. The
following prescription is quite powerful
enough, and if it or some other as
harmless does not accomplish the de-
sired result, leave the freckles to work
out their own salvation: One ounce
lemon juice, one-half drachm sugar,
one-quarter drachm powdered borax;
bottle and keep for few days, apply
ing now and then.
The practice of putting wells over
children's faces in the winter should
be INDUCED in on only the coolest days.
If it is done frequently the eyes may
suffer. Never let your little lady wear
dotted veil.

Beneficial Cut OfYs.
On the Salt Lake division Mr.. r. X.
Brown, the engineer OF maintenance
and way, has been a decidedly busy
man. During the year he has super
intended the building OF five small cut
offs, which have eliminated some Of the
worst curves and gradients on the d.
vision. In all there have been built 2S.4
miles of new line, embracing the fol-
lowing:
Modena line change.
Grade change east of Goss.
Line change near Trent over Sewer
River,
New Line Beuna Vista to Salt Lake
City.
This last named gives the Salt Lake
Route straight haul into the proposed
San Pedro-Short Line depot and obvi-
ates the backing In and out of the
yards that heretofore has consumed
from 10 to 10 minutes.
OF the new construction now under
way on the Utah division are extensive
track facilities at Garfield for the new
smelters, and new tracks at Spanish
Fork, Payson, Nephi, Sharp, Juab,
Minis, bennington, Newhouse and
Moapa.
