Tha discussion on Sakhalin went far enough to demonatrnfg the determined op position of Russia an there had not been the slightest sign of yielding when the agreement Waa made to reserve a decision on the article until i later. Competent Japanese authorities, --however, Insist that Japan will never abandon thla point. They declare,' however, that 'Baron Komura and Mr. Takahlra will go to the extreme Umtt to aeoura. tbe basis ,.tt the "Treaty of Washington." They do not pretend to say that they are assured the treaty will be signed. They do not even say tonight that they are hopeful. Their position may be thus 'uruMnclally stated: Japan's pleni potentiaries will oontlnue the negotiations as far as possible 'Without yielding on those points, which Japan has decided are essential demands. If, after this earnest effort. It, la Impossible to reach an agree ment with. M. Wltte and Baron Rosen, Japan will announce that further negotia tions are useless and her plenipotentiaries will regretfully take leave of the president and the Japanese government will Immedi ately turn Jts attention to the campaign in Manchuria.. It has been made plain by Japan that both tides can conduct the negotiations with a freer hand and make concessions ' on certain points with less danger of embarrassment by public opinion at home If the , negotiations are kept se cret. "The president has not only ceased all efforts in th direction of an armistice, but it la the feeling - among ' officials of the Washington government that perhaps If tha bases of the, 'negotiations are agreed upon the oetual drafting of the treaty may be hastened if there la n6 truce. Japan long ago let It bo known, .that she would net consent to an armistice until the suc cess of the negotiation bod been assured by an agreement upon the framework of the treaty. 'and it now appears unlikely that she will consent, to a, truce even then unless Russia asks for it, which Japan doea not expect.",. . Secretary and Mrs. Pelrce have issued Invitations to the Russian plenipotentiaries and their suite ior flintier .tomorrow even ing at the 'cottage" wKlch theecrtaj-y is occupying, near the, gtpunds ef the. hotel. Next week a Vlnnet e- tn'- jajianese suite will ' be arranged. v As yet, 'however, the date for this function has pat jeen fixed. '. Deadlock: la Feared. The peace conference began at two min ute before-' 10 o'clock. The, plenipotentiaries went to the navy yard In their motor cars, but' the trip was somewhat slow, on 'ac count of tbe drissllng rain, which made the ioac muddy. Ten minute after their arrival at the naval stores building, the negotiators had taken their places In the Conference) room and work began. At the morning session today, considera tion of article 4. which relates to the Integ rity of China, was begun. A the session of Sakhalin is tha fifth article, the natural deduction 'would be that today would wit ness a collision and possibly a deadlock. But It appeared likely that the question of the cession of the Island, upon which neither aide Is now'prepared to yield, when reached by mutual agreement would be postponed until the end, the policy of each side as understood being to maneuver to place the respon'bl".ty of a rupture on the other. It It regarded as a practical certainty that neither will insist at this Juncture upon precipitating a situation whleh will decide this ls. The plan Is almost certain to pass over-the disputed articles and see how far an agreement la possible, then to return and attack the obstacles. This I the logical and general method of diplomacy. It lias th great advantage of bringing the pleni potentiaries to 'i a " rapprochment upon every possible point and clearly defining the points of divergence, narrowing the laaues which divide the negotiations to the west possible number. Chsse for Compromise. at, fo instance, tbe-dlsputed point were reduced -to twoi a It is considered cer tain they eventually will be, the plenipo tentiaries would be enabled to bargain or compromise, to offer proposition and counter proposition.

See display I to choose from. contentions and place the blame for the prolongation of the carnage In the far east. The very fact that ultimately the world will be enabled to fix the responal blllty for a rupture, that in the final analysis the two countries are on trial before the public opinion or the world, constitutes the main hope of a success ful outcome of the negotiations. Article S, which was agreed on yesterday, devel oped todsy waa incorrectly stated to be the cessation of the Chinese Eastern rail road.- That article comes later. The third article pertained to the restoration of the Chinese administration in the province of Manchuria and was a necessary and natural consequence to article 2, providing for mutual evacuation and mutual recog nltlon of Chinese territorial Integrity and the "open door" policy for which Amer lean diplomacy has followed. The mistake was due to the fact that the railroad ques tlon Involved generally In the question of the restoration of Chinese administration in Manchuria wa touched. Wltte Not Referring- Questions. When the plenipotentiaries again faced each other this morning the first business before taking up article 4 waa j the reading and signing of the protocols of, yesterday's proceedings. Including the draft of the three articles agreed upon and the minute of the discussion. The Associated Press Is now able to state authoritatively from both sides that the twelve questions or "articles" now before them constitute the "bases" of a prospective "treaty of Washington," but as the wording Is subject to revision it does not, a accepted, necessarily establish the final text. The Associated Press Is informed that. while covering the surrender of the lease of Liao' Tung peninsula and the Blonde and Elliot islands, which are Included In the leasehold, "article " does not touch Port Arthur and Dalny, which are covered in a separate article. Japan, it Is under stood. Insists, at least for the present, upon the occupation of these two points. The question of Russian government and prl- vaie property wm prooamy pe dealt with by mixed commissions, a I customary at the conclusion of a war when fortified cities pass from the Jurisdiction of one country to another. There is what is regarded as absolute certain warrant for the statement that M, Wltte 1 not referring the questions regarding the various article to St. Peter burg or Peterhof. All that he has done thus far ha been In pursuance of hi own decisions, although he 1 advising hi sovereign post facto of what Is don. nut aa to the two main propositions. If the time should ever arrive when, in hi Judgment, concession should be made upon either, it can be regarded as certain that he would consult the emperor before com mittlng himself. In his Interviews with the emperor be. fore he left St. Petersburg he learned ana snared the view of the ruler that eace was impossible for Russia upon the tory, and in all his public and private utterances he continues to hold an abso lutely uncompromising attitude upon those Points. Komnra Await Orders. All indication from th Japanese aids show, also, that Baron Komura la equally nrm ana that the payment of the "cot of the war and the cession of Sakhalin are condition sine qua non." A-gdggestlon iiiuub uuti wnen jiaron Komura ascer- talned from M. Wltte reply-the Russian non possumu upon these articles ha decided to begin the consideration of the article seriatim in order to have tlmA to communicate with hi government an secure lis nnai word. Tie ausireatlnn from Vienna of a possible compromise of the question of Sakhalin on the ba.i. CJ condomlnlon look, attractive, but It 1 hardly considered a practicable dilution, condomlnlon would almost Inevitably lead to friction and trouble. A little more than half a century ago, it Is said, condomlnlon almost existed on the island, the Russians holding the northern and the Japanese the southern half, the limitation of their respective Jurisdiction being badly de nned, but it wa an unlivable condition and led to the exchange of the Japanese domnlon on Sakhalin for the cession of th K Uriels. Will Meet Jew Again. , The Hebrew delegation, headed by Jacob Schlff, left the Hotel Wentworth today, aylng that there would be a subsequent Interview with M. Wltte In New York. They believe that the reult of their talk with M. W itte and the interview which 1 till to come, cannot but prove beneficial to their co-rellglonlsta ln Russia. They oontlnue to deny most emphatically that the question of a loan to Russia was dis cussed with M. Wltte. Nevertheless, on of them said to the Associated Press that he had no doubt, If Russia desired. Jewish banker would be glad to loan Russia money If the Jew In Russia wer placet) on an equal footing with other Inhabitant of the country. The representative of another great banking house " (not Jewish) said: "Russia can obtain In America, all the money it wants to make peace, but none to make war. Our position is the position of the Paris bankers." , . Work ts ItrrnoQi That making peace Is a strenuous life I Illustrated by th dally program of work of th peace envoys and their suite. Eight sessions of th conferenac have been held Inc the arrival of the missions at Peas- mouth, one week ago, and all but one ot these ha been long a to hour. Outside the sessions every on connected with th wgrk Jta continuous and unrelaxing occu pation, with but a few hour fur rest and practically non for recreation. ' . The envoy have breakfast before o'clock; they are in the navy yard befor 10, and with th exception of a brief spec for luncheon served in th conference building, they stay in session until even ing. After this a hurried dinner la served at th hotel and the work of the evening and night begins. Ijist night, for M Wltte and Baron Rosen, there was an out side duty, and ion of almost a much Im portance a peace between Russia and Japan, namely, th consideration of th questiou of th amelioration of th condl tlon of the Jews In Russia with a delega tion of eminent American Jews. During this time the Japanese emissaries were busily engaged In their quarters In bring ing their records to date In the preparation of cablegrams and In getting ready for the next dar. An Idea of the volume of cahlea whlrh are dally sent to Europe and tha fsr east may be had from the statement that Sun day one cable company handled $19,000 worth of business. Including dispatches from both the Russian and Japanese peace makers, from Its headquarters here. Both sides are very keen In the matter of their facilities for communication. The heavy tax on the local telephone wires made It Impossible for them to get quick service between the hotel and their con ference rooms In the navy yard, and com plaint was made, with the result that See' retary Pelrre had two direct telephone systems Installed between these points, one for the Russians and one for the Japanese. The exclusive use of the navy yard, so fnr as civilians are concerned. Is still pos' sessed absolutely by the members of the peace commission. Yesterday, In addition to the regular guard of marines, which ,., ,h nr.t wa. placed o-er the naval atores building, a detail of secret service pien was added. These surrounded the building and kept constant watch through out the session. Small Fights In tlnncbarla, FIELD HEADQUARTERS OF JAPA- NEfiE ARMY IN MANCHURIA. Aug. IS. 5 p. m., via Fusan, Aug. 15.

TOKIO, Aug. 15.-1:30 p. m Admiral Kstsoka reports that a detachment of his squadron attacked the Russians guarding Lazarcba point. In the Tartary straits August 13. Marines were landed and they were exposed to a sudden attack from Rus slans who were hidden in a forest. The Japanese loss was only one killed and four wounded, but the Russians were finally dispersed. A Japanese torpedo boat destroyer op erating on the east coast of Sakhalin Island attacked the Russians holding the telegraph office at Rairro, on the morning of August 13, and captured eighteen men and the telegraph apparatus. Feeling of Relief In Russia. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 16.-3:10 a. m. The Associated Press dispatches, an nouncing the decision of the plenipoten tiaries at Portsmouth to waive for the present consideration of articles relating to Sakhalin island, and to proceed with the discussion of points that Russia Is willing to accept as a basis of negotiation were received here with some surprise and even relief by the Russian public generally. which had been forewarned that yester day's session might end the conference. M. Wltte Is known to have considered a rupture more than possible. The Russian correspondents on Monday night privately notified their papers that negotiations might be expected to end on the morrow, when the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries locked horns on the question of the ces sion of Sakhalin. The Bourse also was apprehensive and Russian Imperial fours, whch were weak, vesterdav fell off The postponement of the discussion of one of the two points on which the fate of the conference hangs Is considered a good sign, but not a sure, one, and the general opinion remains one of doubt though pessimism is losing ground as the days pass without a rupture between the envoys. Count Lamsdorff and some of the other ministers were received In audience by the emperor at Peterhof yesterday, but the anticipated statement was not given out and probably none will be. . The foreign office maintained complete reserve regard lng the proceedings at v Portsmouth, and It Is explained that while Russia would be accorded a great measure of publicity to the results of the deliberations and even desires to do so, Japan's attitude on this point necessitates the "avoidance of any statement or comment regarding the nego tiations. To this end all the news relating to the Portsmouth conference has been con veyed, to the Russian public through the medium of press dispatches. The Idea Is advanced at several of the embassies that an outlet may possibly be found In a compromise on the two main. points of the dispute if Japan Is willing to give up Sakhalin and receive from Rus sia not a general war indemnity, but pay m.ni for nv nhtn thr mv hi ..m.i.. by virtue of occupation by the Japanese troons Rnmor from Pnrts.

It Is a crystal maze of glass houses, where no occupant dares cast the first Rtone; the danaerous exatmile. the academy of di vorce. Society has mothers who are slaves to the siren calls of fashion and frivolity, wtio look more often Into their mirrors than Into the faces of their children. With fashionable mother gadding about at social function and a fashionable father at his club, the result will be that within a decade the question of the neglected children of the rich will become as great a social problem as that of the neglected cnnuren oi -me poor, V Ct PRES DENT VINDICATED Teamsters Decide that Former Officer Did .Nothing Dishonest with the Fnnds.

"I think this course would not fall short of folly. It Is my firm conviction that within a decade or two, Omaha will have a population of 500,000 people. The growth that has set in upon us is no boom or Impetus that will soon die away. It 1 steady, sure and the result of natural con ditions, plus courage, enterprise and con fidence. Within a few years these two but lying parks will become among the most yreclous of the public treasures. We can not hope now to get half what we paid for them. Real estate dealers and specula tors would like to see the parks ripped up and sold, I have no doubt, but that la not what the city exists for. I shall never ap prove the sale of either park."

Miss Olive Overton was the first person whose deposition was taken. She was employed In the office of the Westbrook Gibbons Grain company for about a year ending In December. 194, and bad charge of the station books. There was one of these for each station where the com pany had nn agent, and In them was kept the record of all grain purchased. Miss Overton gave the names of the stations where tho company had agents In Nebraska and Iowa. She said It was the rule to make out monthly reports of purchases of wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley which were sent to competing firms. Like re ports were received from these firms In the office of the Westbrook-Glbbons com- psny. There was sometimes complaint made that the firm she was employed by got more than Its share of the grain from competing firms, but such trouble was always adjusted. Miss Overton told of sending out price cards, containing the prices which were to be paid next morning. These cards were made up In consultation by various people representing the grain companies after the close of the day's markets. They were sent to the company's agents and sometimes also to the agents of other firms In the same districts. The prices were not the same on all the cards, but were Identical for stations In the same district. Witness testified she was familiar with the work in offices of other com panles In the alleged combine and the plan was practically the same, so far as she could Judge. AIT (ontl Come OAT. Following Miss Overton, who wa not cross examined, Thomas D. Worrall was called. It was at this point that At torney General Brown peeled hi coat, which caused Mr. Worrall, Judge Sullivan, Mr. Learned and others to do the same. This led Ed P. Smith to remark: "I didn't suppose the calling of Tom Worrall would cause so much nervousness. He doesn't look dangerous." Whereat, Just as an evidence of amity and good faith, the witness dug out of his Jeans a stout plug of tobacco and extended it toward Mr. Learned, who ac cepted the plug and took a chew. This lit tle by-pluy created good feeling all around, with laughter and chaffing; but a few moments later the shadow of sudden death fell over the gathering While Mr Worrall wn telllnir nt thn ' yvhlle Mr. -worrall was telling of the, different grain Companies and their or ganization, ofaoers . and number of ele vators, Mr. Learned was called out. He came back In a moment and Informed the attorney general that C. H. Von Mansfelde, a young lawyer In his office, had been drowned at Ashland, where he had gone on a vacation. At once the attorney gen eral moved an adjournment until Wednes day morning, which was agreed to In al ienee. Afterward the atorneys, most of whom knew the young man, gave ex pression to their surprise and sorrow at the new.
