HfrH-- )K - it i' it THE -WAR IS ENDED Peace Negotiations Between Japan pnd Russia Concluded at Ports mouth Tuesday. The html session ot the peace com mission held at Portsmouth, N. H., Tuesday morning culminated in an agreement which put an end to the Japanese-Russian war, and tho world re joices that end as come to tho bloody butchery in which so many lives were sacriftcd and homes mado desolate. According to the peace agreements Russia retains half of Sakhalin and foregoes indemnity, surrender of in terned warships and limitation of naval power. The envoys are at work on a formal treaty of peace and armistice will bo arranged. It is tho general opinion of those familiar with diplomat ic affairs, that Mr. Witte, the Russian representative, accomplished great success in behalf of his country. Agrees With The Herald. The Herald's review on county politics, published last week, has been the cause of stirring up the animals and in Tuesday's issue the Alliance Times replies to the item in question and sustains the same in every vital point but one and that is the reference made to our honorable citizen, Captain Corbin. The Herald simply made the statement that there was a move on foot to select another chairman for the Republican central committee on the grounds that the Captain had served his time and that it would be to the good of the party to select some youug er man for the position. In this (he Times sees a great wrong to Captain Corbin. Had the editor been fair enough to reprint tho full comment on the chairmanship it would have put us in the true light, which would cast no reflection whatever on Captain Corbin. We kuow just as well as the editor of the Times the untiring energy of the old chairman and his effective cam paigning, for he made us get up and hustle during every campaigu he man aged. But as far as slandering Cap tain Corbin, the Times is entirely mis taken for there is no one who has greater respect for the battle-scarred veteran than The Herald. So much for Captain Corbin. Tee Herald is pleased to see the frank, open concession on the part of the Times, when it acknowledges the V. W. Brown, fireman, has left the service. Edgincer C.
