council for defense has held no meeting. The Orand Duke Nicholas never uttered statement lltcs that attributed to him. On the contrary, the news from Oeneral Llne vltch la entirely reassuring. I am not a military man and I cannot therefore give advice or express opinions on military affairs, but what I know la that the whole Russian army and especially Genera! Llne vttch. hl officers and the soldiers under their command being most Insistent that peace ahould not be concluded." negotiations May f ontlnne. The Issue will not necessarily be decided on Tuesday. Indeed, It li quite likely that there may be some delay In the answer from St. Petersburg In which cane an exp ense will be found to adjourn the meetings over from day to day. The Japanese will not be Impatient, but the final decision Wilt without doubt come this week. One of the members of the Japanese mission tonight expressed the opinion that whether a treaty was signed or not the conference would complete Its labors by the end of the week. "Once the bases are agreed to," said he, 'few detail remain to be arranged." He added he did not believe any member of the commission would go to Oyster Bay. "The president." said he "fully under stand our position." After his conference with M. Wltte, Baron Rosen went to Magnolia In an auto mobile and will not return until tomorrow. President Suggest Arbitration. The Associated Presa la able to announce that the feature of the proposition of Presi dent Roosevelt, Communicated through Baron Rosen to M. Wltte and transmitted by the latter to Kmperor Nicholas waa based on Ihe principles of arbitration. Whether the proposal contemplated arbi tration of all the articles on which the plenipotentiaries have failed to agree or only on the questloniof Indemnity cannot be stated with posltlveness, but it Is more than probable that It relates only to In demnity or to Indemnity and the cession of the Island of Sakhalin. Neither Is It possible to say whether the president has yet made a similar proposition to Japan. The customary diplomatic proceedings In such a ease would be to submit the pro posal simultaneously to both countries, but there might be an advantage In securing the adhprence of one before submitting It to the Qther. To Emperor Nlcholaa, the author of The Hague peace conference, the suggestion of arbitration, which will necessarily Immediately command the sym pathy of the public opinion of the world, will be particularly hard to reject. If he agrees, Japan, If It has not already done so, will be all the more bound to submit Its claim' to the decision of an Impartial arbitrator. Acceptance by both sides would Involve "4 great extension of the principle of arbitration, aa nations have heretofore declined to arbitrate questions Involving their "honor and dignity." Both Mr. Takahira and M. Wltte In the earlier stages of the conference absolutely rejected the Idea of .arbitration and only yesterday both reiterated their' disbelief In such A solution. It was noticed, however, that M. Wltte's opinion waa not expressed as strong aa It waa last week. Jap Cabinet Meets. TOKIO. Aug. 20.-The Cabinet met at 11 o'clock at Premier Katsura'g residence and continues tn 'session. It 'to understood that Premier Katsura la presenting an extended resume of the proceedings at Portsmouth and Is explaining the deadlocked questions. The government' Is silent, but It Is expected that an Inevitable rupture of the confer ence will result. Later the premier received Blr Claude M. McDonald, to whom he grented an extended Interview, presumably -with reference to the peace conference at Portsmouth. Following the call of the British minister tho premier conferred with Minister of War Teraucht, Minister- of Marine Tarnamoto and the Chinese vice minister of Internal arralrs. The premier nd tys conferees le cllned to discuss the situation. The For elgn office today announced that It waa In tended to. adhere . to the policy of aecrecy until soma conclusion had been reached. Ray JPi Hot Yield. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 21.-2:20 a. tn. Russia's official attitude regarding the' final reply to be made to Japan on Tuesday ts unchanged. The Impression pre vails as heretofore, that only a very great concession "on the part ,of Japan on the question of Indemnity and the cession of Sakhalin will make peace possible. The questions pertaining to the limitations of Russia's naval power and th surrender of its interned warships are considered here to be quit susceptible of satisfactory ar rangement, and not llabW to cause serious trouble. , " . . An Interesting development of Sunday was the statement from the very best authority that the Foreign office did not believe hat August 22 would necessarily see the conclusion at Portsmouth of the conferences, but that there will be further exchanges between the plenipotentiaries, lasting two and perhaps three days. In some quarters this Is taken aa a aign that there la still hope for aettlement on a basis of concessions. M. Wltte's full reports are being sub mltted through the Foreign office to the emperor. There has been no meeting of the grand dukes to consider these reports, but the emperor haa ben In consultation, and w11 Consult again today, with aome of his adviser and ministers on vital mat ters now being decided here. The final communication of the supreme deciding au thority. Emperor Nicholas, conveying his majeaty'a Instructions aa to the course which M. Wltte shall pursue, beginning on Tuesday, will be transmitted to Portsmouth through the Foreign office, probably to night (Monday) or Tueaday morning. 'o Developments at Oyster Day. OYSTER BAY, L. I., Auguat SO.-No news - of developments In the negotia tions for peace In the far east reached President Roosevelt to-day. The president remained quietly -at Sagamore Hill during the greater part of the day and the execu tlve efflces In the village were closed, ex cept for an hour or two. The president's effort to bring about a successful Issue of the peace conference waa practically concluded with his conference yesterday afternoon with Baron de Rosen The proposition then submitted will have to be passed on not only by the Russian en voys, but probably Emperor Nicholas him self. On the determination reached as to that proposition very likely will depend peace or an Indefinite continuation of hoe tunics. It Is not expected that the president, will receive further visits, from either Russian or Japanese representatives prior to the meeting of the confreres next Tuesday morning. ' There Is ground for the belief that the Japanese plenipotentiaries were cognizant of the president's final effort to prevent a rupture of the 'conference and are prepared as far as their government Is concerned, to carry Into effect the proposi tion he submitted to the Russian envoy With nerves In POISE, The world It YOURS.

For sal by Sherman McConnell Drue Co, AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAflA Ordinance! WiU Go in Tonight for Issuing Faring londs. COUNCIL EXPECTS A PREMIUM OF $2,500 Opponent of Twenty-fourth ' Street raving Are Expreted to Go lato Court for a Restraining Order Later On. When the city council meets tonight or dinances are to h presented authorising the Issuing of bonds for the paving of Twenty-fourth street with Pittsburg brick block. Then will come the advertisement for bids on bonds to be sold. It I the In tention of the council to offer these bond at 5 per cent, to run twenty years. Thl Is the same arrangement that wa made when the Missouri avenue paving bonds were sold for a premium. The finance committee of the council figures that the Twenty-fourth street paving bonds ought to bring a premium of at least 22.B00, a the Missouri avenue bonds for half the sum brought a premium of over $1,200. Ever since the paving contract for Twenty-fourth street was let there have been street rumors of an injunction. This re straining order will hardly be issued until the council advertises for bids and 1 ready to open bids. It Is planned by those who are opposed to the paving at this time to follow about the same tactics a used In the Missouri avenue case. Parks. Johnson A Parks secured the contract for this paving, but the Barber Asphalt com pany asserts that it was the low bidder. The bid of the Barber people was not con sidered for the reason that sample of Dea Moines vitrified brick were not sub mitted. These samples were mlssent and arrived after the contract had been awarded. Should this paving contract go through the city will be put to an expense of about 180,000. With this amount of money the city engineer asserts that a good brick block pavement can be laid form A to Q street. The contractors will not start work, so It has been stated, until the bonds have been sold and the money paid. This decision of the contractors will most likely put off the work for some week. Undecided About Building. No decision has been reached yet by the officers of the Nebraska Telephone com pany regarding the size and height of the telephone exchange to be erected at the southeast corner of Twenty-fourth and K streets. There Is a debate whether the proposed exchange shall be two stories or three. Plans are not drawn yet, although sketches have been made. At the present the company la spending In the neighborhood of 275,000 In putting Its wires In the principal streets under ground. This work 1 being pushed aa rap Idly a the weather will permit and the Intention is to get all of the conduits ordered laid by the city In shape for use by the end of the year. According to the ordinance the telephone company has until December 31, 1906, to complete Its conduit system. In order to put the service In the best possible condition conduits are being laid outside the district ordered by the authorities. More than likely It will be fully a year from the present time before all of the conduits are laid and the new telephone exchange In working order. Expect , Blar Receipts. Live stock dealers at the stock yards look for a big week In receipts. Sunday started off with a good showing of cattle. Those who have received reports from shippers declare that there Is going to be a lively movement In grass cattle this week and the expectation Is that sheep and hog receipts will show some life.

Officers of the Stock Yards company are preparing to look after all receipt promptly and stock will be unloaded just as rapidly as the cars are set at the chutes. Buyers of feeders re on the market every day and buyers for the packers want the best that comes In, so that lively bidding I expected. Another Improvement Club. Only recently business men on N street met and formed an organization that Is known aa the N Street Improvement c,,,K The object Is to boost N street and to do everything possible to prevent the property on N street west of Twenty-sixth street from falling Into decay.

' Store buildings to the number of a' dozen are un occupied. With the building of a passenger station and a freight depot near N street there Is some hopes of the vacant buildings being occupied again.

These lights burn every night from sun down until 10 o'clock and on Saturday night until 11 o'clock.

Some of the cheap construction cottages In the southern part of the city ought to be torn down but even with no rental coming in, the houses being vacant, tbe owner refuse to wreck the buildings.

IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE'S WORK Body Is Making; Good C'ltlsens as Well as a Good City In Omaha. Judge W. W. Slabaugh spoke on the ubject, "Beautifying Omaha," at the sixth of the erles of Sunday evening lay sermons at the Hanscom Park Methodist church, and he was listened to wllb Interest by a large congregation. Judge Slabaugh la perhaps the moat In terested man in tho city on the subject of beautifying Omaha, owing to his connec tion with the Omaha Improvement league, and It was for this reason that his talk wa of more than ordinary Interest. He brought to light the fact that It was not only the beautifying of the streets and lawns of tho city that the league is Inter ested In, but the beautifying of the morals of the people a well. He spoke at length of the work done by the Improvement league In bettering the conditions of vari ous parts of the city, and told of the work that will be accomplished In the future In bettering the town in other ways. He said that men as a rule are too keen In their effort to secure the almighty dollar to take an active Interest in the upbuilding of Omaha, and that It Is the duty of every citizen to better the conditions, whether In a moral or In any other way. "God made tho country and man made the city; Ood builds up, but too frequently nan tears down," said Mr. Slabaugh. "To Improve Is to make better and more beau tiful and the Ideal that the Improvement clubs have Bet for themselves Is to up build and to make the city a beautiful place to live In; beautiful not only in ap pearances but In morals as well." Mr. Slabaugh then dwelt upon the beau tifying of the character as one means of bettering the conditions of a city, and cited a number of Instances which proved his assertions. He said that It was the duty of all classes of men, women and children to get together and do their share In the work which the various Improve ment clubs have started, and said that he thought that In the near future this would be accomplished. MANAWA HAS A BIG CROWD Sunday Attendance at the Lake Crowd Accommodations, but Doesn't Dampen Ardor, One of the largest crowds that has at tended Lake Manawa this season visited the beautiful resort Sunday.

Another thriller was the slide for life by "Dare Devil" Fackler. Two programs by Co- valt's concert band were much appreciated, as evidenced by the numerous encores. G. L Heffner, the baritone, sang "Just Plain Folks" and '"Mid the Orange Trees and Blossoms She's Waiting," both of which songs were Illustrated by colored slides. The horizontal bar stunt of the Eugene trio elicited applause. At the ball park the Neumayer won the game from the Originals by a score of 8 to 6.

CREAT PROSPERITY IN (IRA Benor Qneitda Eiji tbe Moit Optimiitio Are Surprised by Existing Conditions. LARGE INCREASE IN THE REVENUES All Sections of the Island Have Re celved a Great Impetus Com mercially and In dustrially. WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.-In a statement furnished to the press today regarding "the prosperity of Cuba" Senor Quesuda, the minister from that island, declared that It prosperity was such that even the most optimistic are surprised. There was no sec tion of the Island, the minister said, which had not received a great Impetus commer cially and Industrially, and with the con tinuance of the excellent sanitary condi tions, the Increasing production and Invest ments, It Is said, are to be expected in a few years the wealth of the country will be doubled. Continuing the-statement says, In part: The greatest proof of the development of Cuba during the administration of I'resl- aent i-alma can be found In the studv of the last figures of the official report of thn Cuban treasury, showing the results of con servative, wise and progressive government which has ruled the Island dining the last three years. The receipt for the fiscal vear ended June 80. In6, were 'U.751,"5 (cents omitted throughout), of which l.'6.!4t,6L'2 was from public revenues and $35.8i,7T3 from special accounts, of which 31,677,3Jii was the prod uct of the loan for the pavment of Ihe Cuban army. The customs receipts were $4.848. 42 more than the previous year. The exportatlons reached S101,(iO,077, the impor tations 61.377.6rt4. leaving a trade balance In favor of Cuba of about $40,000,nan. During the year payments were mado to the amount of $44,610,873. of which $17.2SJ. pO was for the regular budget and $23,0i,0S for paying me army claims. The total receipts for the vear were $fl1, 761, (Wo, which plus $7,09!,584, the balance from the previous year, gives a grand total of l8,!iS4.714. Deducting expenditures there wan a Daiance or i,34U,30i in tne tinan treasury on the first of July last, which, after making some allowances for outstand ing credits, leaves about $12,000,0u0 of sur plus. Part of this will be devoted to nubllo works and part to serve as the basis for money to he applied to settle the balance due to the arniv. The government of Cuba, which so far has been very careful of contracting financial obligations, will deal with this matter In the same conservative and commendable manner In which It has heretofore handled the questions which have arisen and al ways Inspired by the best Interests of the country and mindful of Its laws end Inter national obligations. PIE MADE BY MACHINERY MV that Hare) Tears to Shed, Prepare to Shed Them Now' Mother's Art ts Waning;. All good men arc excusably boastful concerning the wonderful things their mothers used to do; the appetizing break fasts, the boiled dinners, the egga-on-toast suppers, In which they excelled; tho doughnuts they fried, the bread they made, but, more especially, the pies they baked. Nobody In this wide world, and, let us hope, no body In any other world, will bo able to take the place that mother held In our esteem as a caterer to our taste. Sho knew Just what we wanted and It was always there when we wanted It, but The best that mother could do was a dozen pies In a forenoon, and she could only do this when the men folk got down In good season In the morning, bo that the breakfast things might be cleared off early, the hired girl could make the beds, the younger children could be rushed off to school, and she, that is, our mother, could have the kitchen to herself. It was only once a week or so that sho could devote a whole forenoon to pies, for there were so many other things to do, but she managed somehow to have a stock in hand, and even when the whole world seemed pleless to the small boy of the household, from whom she often good naturedly complained she could hide noth ing, a pie was always produced by her from some mysterious place the small boy used to think It magic when It was most needed aa for Instance, when there was company, or when there was an unexpected shortage of something else. But mother's method was very different from the modejn method of pie-making. Kven when she had everything at her hand, apples, lemons, berries, minced meat, plenty of sugar, butler, lots of split wood when the wind was In the right direction and the oven was juBt right when all the conditions were Just perfect, and nobody called, or anything even then a dozen pie was the limit, for ple-maklng had to be suspended when the. factory whistle blew and the hired girl needed the oven for the dinner biscuits. How times have changed! A man in Pittsburg has invented a nichlne that will j turn out forty complete pie every minute, or Z4.W0 every ten hours. There Is an endless chain of pans; one man pours In the dough through a, funnel as the pans pass beneath; they move through a fur- j nace which partly bakes them; as the I chain movea on another man pours In the j filling, then a third man operates a funnel which forms the "lids" the chain Is moving I all the time through a furnace which bake the pies Just right, and forty of them every minute, ready, and for the quick lunch counter, pass out through a chute. Of course, viewed In any light, they are not, and In tho very necessltites of the case, cannbt be, anything like the pies that mother used to make, but they are ! good Imitation, and in the hurry and bustle of modern life, when most of us eat as a duty rather than a pleasure, and when there are two or three standing behind us ready to pounce upon our seat at the quick lunch counter, they will do as well a anything to top off the machine-made hash, the machine made muffin, the machine-made bean with the machine-made pork; and the other machine-made thing which we are expected to eat like machine made human being.
