In language that can m 1J 'ier he evaded or

the Hay doctrine, will find a more vigorous
expression hi the treaty of Washington.
It Is also declared on behalf of Japan
that she only asked that Manchuria re
main for n certain period under Japanese
control. Only enough time Is desired to
?nabie the armies of Jap.in to evacuate
the province, and by tle time this evacua
tion Is

Japanese reply td all mich arguments is j
that having entered Into this agreement
at the suggestion of Russia It is not for
Japan to break it..,
To the suggestion that American public
opinion might be alienated' 'by the Japa
nese policy , of silence In the face of the
publicly expressed wish of the Russians for
publicity, the reply Is made:
We do not seek to obtain public sympathy
by such methods. American friendship. If
It be -sincere as we believe it Is, will not
be overturned by the fact that Japan, after
a solemn compact entered into with Rus

Iloth Sides Anilnm for fence.
Among the dulegates of the respective
Ides who remained at the hotel today it
was insisted that each side was sincerely
anxious to conclude a treaty of peace, and
it la evident if there was a rupture, as the
best Informed believe there will be1, each
side will maneuver to place the rtsponsi
Llllty on the other. The Japanese seem
disposed to throw out the Intimation that
M. Wltte Is trying to wear out his adver
saries tnd compel them to break off the
negotiations. This Intimation Is Indignantly
repudiated by the Russians, who contend,
is does their principal, that Russia is ready
and willing have the fullest publicity
given to ha Hrooeedlnga, In order that the
world may judge between them.
Relentless method Is behind the Japanese
system In the peace negotiations, as in
their military and naval operations. When

Preparation for luncheon was begun at

peace conference will continue In the aft

together at the lunch table while the
members of the Russian and Japanese

pastors of 'churches telling of prayers for

No Ilattle Dorlnft Negotiations.
It seems to be taken for granted among
the attaches of both the Japanese and Rus
sian missions that there will be no general
battle in Manchuria while the peace nego
tiations are on. Oyama Is known to be
prepared to strike the moment the negotia
tions end and there may be more or less
skirmishing and outpost engagements while
the troops are getting In position, but It Is
admitted on each sWe that If either Oyama
or l.lnevltch should deliberately bring on a
general engagement which might cost 60,000
or luO.Oofl lives his country would be accused
of bad faith in the negotiations here and
would Inevitably lose prestige In tho eyes
of the world. In the larger sense, there
fore. It can be said that an armistice
already exists In Manchuria. Should the
negotiations be vainly prolonged and It
became evident that they were to be fruit

The Japanese terms are regarded In Rus

but It is absurd to propose them to

and the winter is coming on when naval
operations would be Impossible. Vladivos

large, has persistently under-estimated

financial resources st home.
The more hopefo.1 feeling which Is notice
able here can be traced to the conviction
that M. Wltte, who Is thoroughly cognisant

would not continue negotiations at Ports
mouth unless he had reason to believe
that Japan would reduce Its demands suf,
flciently to render them acceptable to Rus
sla. The Russian envoys went to Ports
mouth ready to make reasonable and hon
orable concessions and it peace is to re
sult from the negotiations on American
soil. Japan must also show an equal spirit
of reasonableness and sincerity In her pro
testations for .peace. Russia believes that
the world will recognise that the fault. In
the case of failure, will not rest with
Russia.

ACCUSED OF NEGLECTING THEIR DUTY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 -The Star to
night says: "There has been a big shake
up among the revenue agents of the in
ternal revenue service, but Just how far
it has gone Is a matter tf speculation. It
Is stated, however, that four well known
revenue agents have been asked for their
resignations, and at least two of the four
have come here for a personal conference
with Commlsslontr Yerkes of the Internal
revenue bureau. These are Captain Charles
11. Ingram, in change of New Kngland
work, stationed at Boston, and C. H. Burg,
whij has hafl a section of the southwest
under his charge and has been located In
Texas. The names of the other two agents
could not be learned today.
"Commissioner Yerkes would not discuss
the matter. Those In a position to know
say that Commissioner Yerkes had per
sonally been watching the work of the
revenue agents, who are really the secret
Investigating officials of the revenue bu
reau, and has concluded that some of them
have not been doing their duty In de
tecting some of the things going on."
Forehtn Crop Reports.
The foreign crop report to the depart
ment of agriculture made public today
announces that "In countries of largest
production the crops of the principal bread
grains cannot be called abundant, but on
a generul survey of the field It seems
probable that the harvest of 1906 will not
on the whole be a bad one."
In Great Britain and Jreland the area
under wheat Is estimated at l.Rno.ono acres
and the yield at 63,000.000 bushels or 33
bushels to the acre, against an area last
year of 1.400.0HO acres and a yield of 39.000,000
bushels or less than 28 bushels per acre.
The area under wheat In Manitoba and
the Northwest territory Is fully 10 per
cent better than ever before. The area
Is placed at 4,000,000 acres and the crop at
70,000.000 or 80,000,000 and by some as high as
luO.000,000 bushels.
In Argentina the area of winter grain
appears larger than last year.
In Australia the outlook Is more promis
ing than in ten years.
Despite unfavorable weather reports the
outlook In Germany last month seemed
In Russia the crop prospects remained
generally satisfactory, the winter cereals
promising nearly, and the spring cereals
above, an average yield.
In Austria It is not yet certain whether
winter wheat and winter rye can be set
down as good average crops.
In Hungary the prospect was consider
ably worse than In June, but the total grain
crop promised to, be larger than last year.
Although there was a large proportion of,
lodged wheat throughout the great wheat
growing regions In northern France, the
grain was In most cases fully formed.
Must I se More Airbrakes.
The . Interstate Commerce commission Is
about to take steps to require all railroads
engaged In Interstate commerce to increase
the minimum percentage of air brakes used
on freight trains to as great an extent as
conditions of equipment will permit.
The commission has become Impressed
with the danger attending the operation of
freight trains on which an Insufficient num
ber of cars are equipped with air brakes,
operated by the engineer.
Recent accidents involving loss of life
and property, caused by the "buckling" of
freight trains the rear cars crowding for
ward upon those In front when emergency
applications of air have , been made on
trains partially air-braked, have demon
strated that suoh trains are not actually
under the control, of the engineer as re
quired by law. As the Impact which causes
"buckling" Is due to the presence of un
braked cars In the rear of the train, it ap
pears to the commission that such acci
dents may be obviated by requiring a num
ber of cars In trains greater than the 60
per cent low required by law, to have
their brakes operated by the engineer. In
crease in the minimum Is authorized ty
law. It Is added that the evident purpose
of the law Is to ultimately require the use
of air brakes on all cars of all freight
trains.
More Cases of Typhoid Fever.
Twenty-nine new cases of typhoid fever
and two deaths from the disease were re
ported to the health office today. The out
break has passed In severity that of 1903
when the greatest number of persons and
the treatment for the disease at any one
time was 224, and has spread rapidly
Health officials are bending every effort to
fight the disease, Including a house-to,
house Inspection of back yards and cellars
with a view to remedying unsanitary con-
dlttons. One bed of the new Alteration plant
will be opened, probably tomorrow, thus
reducing to that extent the danger from
typhoid fever and other ' disease germs
which It Is believed comes from drinking
water which Is unflltered.

INCREASE IN ASSESSMENT ROLL

PIERRE, S. D.. Aug. H.-Speclal.,V-The
State Board of Assessment and Equaliza
tion Jias completed Its first session for this
year anA taken nn adjournment until the
22nd of the month, when any complaints
in regard to their action will be heard and
considered. The total valuation of the
state will be higher than for the past year,
but the Increase will not be a great one
as the board did not this year attempt
to use Its arbitrary power In the way of
Increasing valuations oa a general level.
The Increase will be on new property, and
Increases in corporation assessments, on
which class of property the board outlined
new methods in several cases, notable in
the mau-T of express companies and tele
phones. The express companies have In
the past been assessed evidently on an
arbitrary basis, and have been placed on
mileage basis, putting them all on an
equality. Telephone and telegraph valua
tions were Increased radically on the ground
that this class of property pays only a
state tax of 26 mills on the dollar of as
sessed value, and they should stand a
strong assessment to come anywhere
Bear on equality with other classes of
property which have to stand local taxa

1 ne total increase in corporate assess

which come under that head, is practically

Ordinarily, the Italian Is thrifty and per

FIRST PROBLEM AT PANAMA
Government Must Provide for labor
er's llefore Martin Work
on Canal.
NEW TORK, Aug. 14 The care of 20,000
employes to work upon the Panama canal
was declared by Chairman Shonts of the
Panama Canal commission, who arrived on
the steamer Mexico today from Colon, to
be of first importance and to have prece
dence over the actual work of digging.
Chairman Shonts was accompanied on his
return by Colonel Oswald H. Ernst, also of
the canal commission. Chairman Shonts
said:
"We went to Colon With Mr. Stevens, the
chief engineer, to see what had been done
and what should be done. We found the
first thing of Importance to be housing and
supplying 20,000 men. When our govern
ment first took hoM of. the canal every
effort was directed toward making the dirt
fly. I think' this was a necessity. The peo
ple of the Isthmus are not forehanded and.
with the large addition to the population
caused by the influx of the canal laborers,
the supplies for Hvrng were exhausted.
This caused the prices to rise and soon the
laboring class found that they could not
earn enough to support themselves. To
offset this subcommlsstonary stations were
established to feed ''the laborers. T made
an arrangement with the president that
unless prices became normal on he isth
mus to continue this system of supplying
the laborers.
At Colon a larga refrigerating plant Is
now being established from which all sup
plies will be Issued lyomptly, so that
shortly alt American employes will be able
to obtain the same- fare as they would at
home. 'Of course I found the freight con
gestion causing considerable trouble, but
soon found that by applying those practical
up-to-date railroad methods of the United
States, that In thirty days the trouble
would be eliminated. There Is about 6. 000
tons on hand now. This freight was or
dered by the old commission, to be deliv
ered at certain Intervals. We, however,
took the matter up and urged prompt ship
ment, with the result that it all got to the
terminal point at once.
"As to double tracking the railroad, that
cannot be done at present, even If neces
sary, but is the work of getting out the
dirt progresses, we can easily keep up with
the work with extra trackage. We have
supplied refrigerating cars for the road.
"There are about 10,000 employes on the
Isthmus now, Including the laborers."
Mr. Shonts said that there was In reality
no yellow fever scare to speak of at the
Isthmus and that the total number of cases
In Panama during August ur to the time
of his sailing was only thirty.
PANAMA. Aug. H.-W. E. Dauey, who
has been the engineer In charge of the
Culebra division of the canal work, and an
appointee of former Chief Engineer Wal
lace, has resigned. He left for New York
today. The engineering operations on the
canal are now suspended pending sanitary
work. Many employes will return to the
United States during the idle period.

Everything that we eat and some things

at the pure food show which started its

people of Omaha are constantly clamoring

some 600 housewives and housemaids flocked
to the big building to see some genuinely

Everything in the fluid line, from aqua

ate drinkables there are coffee, tea and
some condensed milk, to say nothing of
the assorted brands of chocolates.
The many booths are presided over by
young women who are always on hand td
do any kind of demonstrating and assist In
any way possible towards giving Informa
tion as to the purity of their goods.
The pure food show Is being given by the
Nebraska Retail Merchants' association and
will be In session for ten days. The first
demonstration takes place In the afternoon
at l:3o and again at 5:30. In the evening
the doors open promptly at 7:30 and the
demonstrations continue until everyone Is
satisfied as to the quality of the goods
which are up for Inspection.
Perhaps the most striking booth In the
whole building Is the Advo electric kitchen,
which the McCord-Brady company has
fitted up. Biscuits and bread and assorted
cakes are baked In full view of all and
samples of the toothsome foods are given
out.

OFFICIALS FEARED ASSAULT
Sent President Over I nuaual Rout
After HearlasT of riot lo
Wrerk Train.
NEW YORK. Aug. 14-That Erie railroad
officials were alarmed for the safety of
President Roosevelt on his way from Chau
tauqua to Jersey City on Saturday Is
shown by ths fact, made known yester
day, that the president's car did not come
over the main' line. Instead, the Chautau
qua special was broken in two at Suffern,
N. and the presidential party was
brought In by a roundabout way over ths
two small branch roads. .
President Roosevelt is said to have ob
jected to the unusual precautions taken,
but acquiesced when positive orders from
President Underwood of the Erie were
shown him. These orders were Issued as
a result of a letter received by the Pater
son police, which said there was a plot to
blow up the president's train near Ridge
wood, N. J.
The Chautauqua special was stopped at
Suffern early Saturday morning. There
was a consultation over the telephone, fol
lowed by a consultation of railroad men,
at which It was decided to send the prsl
dent to. Sparklll. a small town on the Hud
son, three miles below Nlaek. by a little
single track road, known as the Plermont
branch, and thence Into Jersey City on the
Northern railroad, a branch having ls ter
minus In Nlack.
President Roosevelt was awakened and
told of the change In the schedule, as the
officials did not like to take the responsi
bility without his consent. The president
after some discussion saM that he was
"in the hands of the Krle." and while he
had no fear of his train being wrecked on
the main line, he would do what the rail
road men thought best.
Slow tlm was made over the Plermont
branch and Northern branch and extra
men guarded every part of both roads.
