Sakhalin came originally from the Russian side. PRESIDENT HAS HOPES ADJOURNMENT FOR TWO DAYS SHOWS THAT HIS INFLUENCES ARE AT WORK. Associated Press.) Oyster Bay, Aug. Roosevelt's final effort to induce a cessation of hostilities in the Far East is almost dramatic in its extraordinary interest.

Through the American ambassador at St. Petersburg he has made a direct appeal to Emperor Nicholas to permit the introduction of such measures in the pending peace conference as will terminate the war. A long cablegram was sent to Ambassador Meyer by the President on Monday. It contained instructions for representations on behalf of the President to be made directly to the Emperor. The report received from Assistant Secretary of Peirce, at Portsmouth, that the peace plenipotentiaries had adjourned their sittings until next Saturday, was a source of satisfaction.

It is a distinct assurance that efforts are being made with increasing prospect of ultimate success to compromise on the crucial points of differences among the conferrees. Thus far the President has gained his points. It was due to his efforts that the conference did not break up finally last week and his further important suggestions prevented a final dissolution of conference on Monday. JAPAN MODIFIES TERMS MAKES CONCESSIONS TO MEET THE DETERMINED STAND TAKEN BY RUSSIA. Portsmouth, N.

Aug. between Russia and Japan is assured if the Mikado's government makes at the today's session of which the plenipotentiaries concessions M. Witte announced that the protocols were read and corrected at this morning's session and the conference then adjourned till 2 this afternoon. Japan's proposition is this: If Russia will buy from her the Island of Sakhalin, which is now in the possession of her army, Japan will waive all claims for a reimbursement of her expenditures; relinquish her demand for the surrender of the interned Russian ships, and her proposition for the limitation of Russia's naval strength in the Far East. These have been the only questions in dispute.

It is due to the intervention of President Roosevelt that the modification of Japan's original demands has been determined upon. Her first proposal was to sell half of the Island of Sakhalin to the Russians, retaining the other half. This offer was spurned by Russia for the reason that such a division of territory would inevitably lead to dissension in the future. After several days of waiting for assurances from Russia that a further modification would receive proper consideration, Japan decided to relinquish the demands which have met with such unalterable opposition from the Russians if the Czar would agree to chase the entire island at a price to be agreed upon later. Russia's attitude has been from start a determined opposition to the payment of a war indemnity.

She has maintained that she never had in the past and never would concede that principle. Shorn of all extraneous subjects, that has been the subject upon which the plenipotentiaries of the two belligerent governments have divided and which has necessitated a five-days' adjournment to enable the respective governments to meet the issue squarely and harmonize their differences or decide to break off further negotiations forthwith. Japan stood out from the beginning firmly for the adoption of article No. 9 of her original peace conditions, which referred to the reimbursement of her war expenditures. Russia never budged.

She was equally as firm in refusing Japan's demand. Even in the consideration of other questions, this one of paramount importance continually cropped up. When the last session of the plenipotentiaries came to an end on Friday last the envoys of the two countries stood in such an antagonistic attitude to each other that it was felt that the end had been reached unless some powerful outside influence could be brought to bear. It was at this juncture that President Roosevelt stepped into the breach. ROOSEVELT OPENS WAY.

Feeling that the differences between the two countries were more apparent than real, and having a sublime confidence in the sincerity of both the Emperors of Russia and Japan in their desire for peace, and being backed by the united influence of Europe, President Roosevelt, without hesitancy, ranged for his memorable interview with Baron Rosen. It was on the night of Friday last that Assistant Secretary of State Peirce, who is in charge of the arrangements here for the entertainid Int. This message read as follows: an imperative telegram on from the Presment of the plenipotentiaries, received "Oyster Bay, Aug. 18, 1905. "To H.

H. D. Peirce, Assistant Secretary of State, Hotel Wentworth, Portsmouth. "See M. Witte at the earliest moment possible and ask him to send to me Baron Rosen or some confidential member of his suite in order that I may deliver to him an important secret communication.

(Signed) "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." This was the wedge which opened the way for a compromise. From that moment to this has conferred with Baron Kaneko at Oyster Bay; has been in telegraphic communications with the envoys of Russia, and has had personal representatives on the scene at Portsmouth. Through the State Department he has also been in direct communication with the Emperor of Japan and the Czar of Russia. He has invoked and secured the assistance of England, France, Germany, Italy and AustriaHungary in the cause of peace, and has brought their powerful infuence to bear upon both the plenipotentiaries here as well as upon their home governments. The climax came yesterday when two conferences were held, one at a leading hotel in Portsmouth, at which were present Secretary of State Peirce and a Japanese who, it was said, was Mr.

Saki, the private secretary of Baron Kaneko, and the other at the council chamber of the peace envoys in the navy yard. At the latter M. Witte and Baron Rosen were present and received additional advices from the President. Their exact nature cannot be quoted, but that they had an important bearing upon the pending negotiations was made manifest by the disclosure at midnight of the extent of the concessions which are a a Jases is willing to make. It, therefore, peace comes out of this conference, to President Roosevelt be due much of the credit.

NO ARBITRATION. St. Petersburg. Aug. Foreign Oflice denies that the differences which have apparently deadlocked the peace envoys at Portsmouth will be submitted to arbitration.

The government's attitude remains Arm and unchanged on the subject of indemnity. The visit made by Ambassador Meyer, of the United States, to Peterhod on the receipt of a telegram from President Roosevelt regarded as significant. It is stated on good authority that new internal loan will be issued shortly for the purpose creating peasantry fund. The money will be used to purchase landed prop- erty. RUSSIA'S ATTITUDE.

Portsmouth, N. Aug. 23. -Russia's decision not to accept the principle of article No. of the Japanese peace terms, which provides for the payment of Japanese war expenses, is irrevocable.

This announcement was made unofficially this morning. This attitude of the envoys, it understood, is based upon message from the Czar to M. Witte, received early this mornins. directing the Russian plenipotentiaries to resist all attempts to secure Russion endorsement of the principle of indemnity under any guise whatever. WASTE IN MINES GOVERNMENT EXPERT TOOK $15 FROM 36 POUNDS OF TAILINGS RUN THROUGH GOLD GETTING PROCESS.

Portland, Ore, Aug. old adage, "Haste makes waste," has received new proofs during the past few weeks at the Black Sands annex to the mining section of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Dr. David T. Day, the government expert in charge of the experiments, took 36 pounds of tailings that had process been at run a mine through near the Grant's getting Oregon, and subjected the cast-off waste to certain scientific processes.

worth of gold and other valuable metals, or nearly a dollar from every pound of dirt. Dr. Day is of the opinIon that if waste dirt is worth approximately a dollar a pound it might be well for mining men to pay more attention to details. The wealth taken from these 36 pounds of waste material has been arranged in glass jars in the Mines and Metallurgy building, so that he who runs may read. To each jar is attached a card showing how the materials were obtained.

One jar contains actual gold nuggets. some of them surprisingly large to have escaped the eye of the miner. They were concealed by amalgam, from which Dr. Day separated them by acids and heat. There is also a small quantity of platinum, which is more valuable than gold.

The tests conducted by Dr. Day and his staff attract much attention. The work is done open pavilion, and the public is invited to witness the wonderful processes of discovering riches in despised material which has been cast off as valueless. NO CIGARETTE SMOKERS LEHIGH VALLEY TRAINMASTERS WILL TURN DOWN YELLOWFINGERED APPLICANTS. Hereafter applicants to enter the train service of the Lehigh Valley Railroad on the Pennsylvania division who are versed in the art of rolling and making cigarettes will be promptly reJected without further ceremony.

The trainmaster at Sayre has received instructions to turn down the yellowfingered coffin nail consumers, and turn them down quickly. Under the new rule the aplicant is asked to his knowledge of rolling a cigarette and if he exposes sufficient acquaintance with the art he is thereupon told that the Lehigh Valley will try and struggle along a little while longer without his services. If the tips of the applicants forefinger and thumb are of a yellowish hue, no further questions are asked. He is simply told that the Lehigh is not employing young men who carry the incontrovertible evidence of cigarette smoking around with them. This move on the part of the company is considered one of the wisest that has been made in years.

A strict observance of it may have a tendency to cause the young men who are desirous of securing situations to abandon the paresis breeding weeds. REAL ANTHRACITE TRUST BEING FORMED BY NEW YORK CENTRAL AND PENNSYLVANIA. That the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroads are to bring into one system all the anthracite coal producing and carrying railroads is a rumor that comes out of Philadelphia and interests Wall Street. It was said that New York Central and Pennsylvania are now making arrangements to issue a large quantity of joint collateral bonds, which will be pledged by deposits of stock of Reading and Lehigh Valley possibly Ontario Western. It and, also said that the original intention was to bring Erie under the collateral bond issue, but that this scheme fell through for the time being.

The New York Central and Pennsylvania now have a very large interest in the Reading property and also in the Lehigh Valley. In 1902 they purchased about $60,000,000 of the Reading's 000,000 of stock. The Lake Shore owns about $6,000,000 of Lehigh Valley, and the Baltimore Ohio has a large interest in the road for the Pennsylvanians. For some time past many people have thought that the buying of Erie stock has been for Lake Shore and Baltimore Ohio, in the same way that Reading was acquired. Banking interests close to the two big trunk lines profess entire ignorance regarding the deal, and no confirmation was obtainable.
