I I I I F Mill RANDOLPH NUN II Russia and Japan Have Settled Their Differences And the War is Over ALL PARTIES ARE NOW SATISFIED Russians Break Into Rejoicing Over the Victory of Portsmouth, Which They Consider an Offset to Tsushi Ma, Liao Yang and Mukden, and a Diplomatic Triumph, of the First Magnitude. Portsmouth, N. H., Special. The long ami bloody war between Japan ami Russia is ended. The terms of peace wore settled by Mr. Witte and Baron Komura at the session of the con Krci.ee Tuesday morning and Tues day afternoon preliminary arrange ments for an armistice were concluded and the actual work of framing the "Treaty of Portsmouth"' was by mu tual agreement turned over to Mr. D. Martens, Russia's great international lawyer, and Mr. Dennison who for 25 years has acted as the legal adviser of the Japanese Foreign Office. The treaty is expected to be coiu l'h ' .! by the end of the week. This happy conclusion of the con ference, which a week ago, would have be; a shipwrecked had it not been for the heroic intercession of President Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic. For the sake of peace, Japan, with the magnanimity of a victor, at the last moment yielded everything still in is sue. Russia, refused to budge from the ultimatum of the Czar, given to Pres ident Roosevelt through Ambassador Meyer. Xo indemnity under any guiso. but an agreement to divide Sak halin and reimburse Japan for the maintenance of the Russian prisoners, were his last words. They had been reieateu'.y reiterated in Mr. Witte's Instructions, and in the form of a written reply to the Japanese com promise proposals of last Wednesday they were- delivered to Baron Komura this morning. TOTAL SURPRISE TO WITTE. Mr. Wine went to the conference de claring he was powerless to change the dot of an "i"' or the cross of a "t" in his instructions. Czar Nicholas' word had been given not only to him but to President Roosevelt, the head of a for eign str.te. When Baron Komura, therefore first offerer the new basis of compromise, outlined in the dispatches (the complete renunci ation of indemnity, coupled with a proposition for the redemption of Sak-1 ha'.in at a price to be fixed by a mixed I tribunal consisting of representatives cf the neutral power in fr.et. if not in words, the solution offered by Presi dent Roosevelt) Mr. Witte again re turned a non possumus. It was what Mr. Witte termed in an interview with the press the "pyseological moment." Mr. Witte did not flinch. He expected a rupture and as he expressed it after ward he was stunned by what happen ed. Baron Komura gave way on all the disputed points. With the pre science that has enabled the Japanese to gauge the mental processes of their adversaries on the field of battle and upon the sea, they had realized in ad vance that peace could be obtained in no other way. They had their govern ment. President Rr.oseveli had also, it is said, advised Japan that it was better to meet the Russian positions than to take the responsibility of con tinuing the war for the purpose of col lecting tribute. The Mikado, at the session of the cabinet urn! elder states men yesterday, had sanctioned the fi toal concession. When Baron Komura yielded, the rest was mere child's play. By "Wire and Cable. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw makes public his letter to Governor Cummins, of Iowa, in answer to the latter's criticism of his alleged re marks concerning the French treaty. The Secretary claims to have been misquoted. A mob of 50 men at Newbern, N. C, hung to a bridge John Moore, a negro who attacked Mrs. Eubanks, postmis tress at Clark, N. C. There were 13 deaths of yellow fever at New Orleans, the largest number yet reported in one day. Ellis Glenn, the "man woman," who has been in so many escapedes in West Virginia, is said to have been ar rested in Michigan. The explosion of a stereopticon in the First Baptist church at Norfolk last night caused a panic. Capt. E. W. Jones, of Norfolk, who killed Maud Robinson and then cut his own throat, is recovering. A new 40 mile railroad is to be built from Town Creek to Stuart's Knob, in Patrick county, Va. The French liner La Savoie arrived at Newport News to have a new pro peller put in. Popular opinion in Japan is reported to be very strong against a division of Sakhalin Island, and surprise is ex pressed that sale of a part of it should have been proposed. Agrarian disorders throughout Rus sia are greatly on the increase, and the nobles are subjected to all kinds t)i exactions on the part of the peasan try, collisions with Cossacks also be ing reported. Both armies in Manchuria have re ceived reinforcements and the fronts have been greatly extended. There is reported to be much feeling among the Chinese against the gov ernment because of the awarding of a railroad contract to Americans. A government bulletin shows that the number of school teachers in the country exceeds the total of preachers, doctors and lawyers combined. Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., is said to be In Washington and is expected to sur render hhus -if today. Many members of Congress and of the parliaments of various countries are at Brussels where the Inter-parliamentary Congress will begin its ses sions today. D UL CZAR KEEPS INTERNET) SHIPS. Articles 10 and 11 (interned warships and the limitation of Russia's sea pow er in the far East) were withdrawn Japan agreed that only that portion of the Chinese Eastern Railroad south of Chautufu, the position occupied by OyaiiiU. should be ceded to Japan. Both sides, once the deadlock was broken, want-", a "just and lasting" peace, ami in that spirit it was decided to practically neutralize Sakhalin, each country binding itself not to fortify its ha'"' of the island., and Japan as suming an obligation not to fortify the La lV:v.:se strait between Sakhalin and Hokkaido, which would bar Rus sia's co: The : They ('. the nf.t mutual each co: the ber. lion clu merciai route to tne facihc. enipotentiaries went father, iicd to add a new clause in re of a broad provision for omuiercial privileges by which e:vy will secure for the othei :it of the "most favored na - " and the "open door." LOOK? RATHER LIKE ALLIANCE. The ih '.v treaty therefore will be a v.-oude: : v.':;y friendly document, ot ehararu;- almost to raise the suspicion that th tiated i countries have not nego ve but have concluded the a future alliance. There is, no evidence as rumored that ; clauses are to be appended sent treaty. .aving the conference build tations were exchanged with :ent at Oyster Bay.

I m:a and Mr. Witte tele he former confined himself g Mr. Roosevelt of the con n which peace had been Mr. Witte frankly' laid his tribute at the Presidents feet. In his message he said: "History will ascribe to you the glo ry," an ! a ided the expression of Rus sia's hearty appreciation of the Presi dent's generous initiative." Mr. Roosevelt replied with words of thanks and congratulation. RUSSIANS DAZED WITH JOY. Then be.-an the jubilation. Mr. Witte and Baron de Rosen returned to the hotel for luncheon. The Japanese had remained at the conference hall to lunch with Mr. Pierce. The news that peace had keen concluded had preceded the Russian plenipotentiaries, and such scenes of wild rejoicing have never be fore been witnessed in the State of New Hamrshire as greeted them upon their arrival at the hotel. Mr. Witte, dazed at the sudden and happy termi nation of the conference, was fairly overpowered by the tremendous ova tion he received. He could only express ' his gratitude by shaking the hands of everybody, and in response to the vol ley of questions fired at him as to the iterms murmur, "We pay not a kopeck and we get hale of Sakalin." Later in his room, when he had par tially recovered himself, he declared that he could not have dreamed of such a victory for that he regards it as a diplomatic triumph of the first magni tude, he makes no attempt to conceal. And that is the general verdict here to night. The Russians are overjoyed at the result. "We have had our Liao Yangs and Mukdens," they say, "and our Tsus himas on sea, but the Japanese have had their Portsmouth." JAPS BLUNDERED AT START. Although Mr. Witte is not a diplo matist, they declare that he has out manoeuvered the Japanese, yielding one by one to the conditions until he forced them into a corner on the main issue of indemnity and left them no escape, except surrender or to con vert the war into a war to collect tri bute. The Russians declared that dip lomatically the Japanese made their colossal blunder when they agreed to consider the conditions seriatim. The Japanese correspondents, though they said little, plainly showed their dissatisfaction with the terms during the afternoon. They stood aloof, silent in the midst of the general jubi lation, for as the afternoon advanced the air was filled with the sounds of rejoicing. Bells were ringing in Ports Fever at Pensocola, Florida. Pensacola, Fla., Special. Dr. Joseph Y. Porter, State health officer, lias is sued a cara to the public in which he says that three Greeks with symptoms of yellow fever have been found in Pensacola. The cases were dissovered by Dr. Warren E. Anderson, and agent here for the State board of health, and Dr. Porter confirms Dr. Anderson's diagnosis of the cases. Ambassador Sees Czar. St. Petrsburg, By Cable. Mr. Meyer, the American ambassador, had an audience with the Emperor at Peter hof Wednesday afternoon, which last ed three hours. Presumably the mat ter of peace was discussed at length, but nothing can be ascertained at present regarding what actually took place, as the embassy declines to give out any statement. It is known, however, that a long cablegram has been sent o Washington giving the results of tho conference. The Emper or attended the manoeuvres in the morning, and returned to Peterhof just in time to receive Mr. Meyer. Decision Against Southern Road. Washington, D. C, Special. The Inter-State Commerce Commission de cided four cases brought by T. M. Ke hoe & Company, of Terra Haute, Ind., against the Charleston & Western rail way Company, the Seaboard Air Line Railway, and the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company, the decis ion declaring that the defendants' es tablished charge of $1.00 per day for car demurrage is just and reasonable. To Act on Bennington Report. Washington, Special. Secretary Bonaparte has just completed a thor ough examination of the record of the proceedings of the court of inquiry in the case of the disastrous boiler ex plosion on the Bennington at San Diego, Cal., July 21 last, and will an nounce his action in a day or two. It is understood that he does not agree with the court in several of Its con clusions in the matter of the individual responsibility of various officers and men of the vessel for the conditions which resulted in the explosion. I ft mouth and Newcastle and the vessels in the harbor were adding to the din with their sirens and bells. One of the Japanese, however, gave the true note when he remarked: IP MIKADO APPROVES, GOOD. "Tell me that the Mikado has ap proved it and I shall be satisfied." In that sentence was compressed the Spartan heroism of the Japanese nation, and later when Mr. Sato issued the official explanation of the reasons that moved the Japanese plenipoten tiaries and it showed that the Emper or had approved, there was a percep tible change in the feelings of the Jap anese. Considerable disappointment, however, continued to be manifested. Baron Komura following the rule he has set himself, declined to make any statement, and Mr. Takahira would only say when asked to make a state ment : "For the sake of humanity and civ ilization, and as we believe, in the in terest of both countries and the world, we have made peace." A scene of the greatest excitement followed the receipt of the news in the lobby of the Hotel Wentworth. The official bulletin telephoned from the conference room at the navy yard by Mr. Sato and like an electric thrill flooded through the room. There were screams of joy. Men threw their hats aloft, women actually wept. Then there was a rush for the telegraph offices and in an instant the news was speeding to the remotest corners of the earth. JAP CORRESPONDENTS GLOOMY. "We did sot believe it this morning," said Mr. Fukotomi, correspondent for The Osaki Asahi, as he walked away sinking his head. Japan expected a great deal more than this. Division of Sakhalin was not to be thought of.. It was ours by the blood of our soldiers and we should have kept it. Russia brought on this war; she should have paid for it." He was interrupted by another cor respondent. But the Emperor has or dered it." "Yes," said another, "it is the Em peror's word." The attitude of the group at the mention of the Emperor's name im mediately changed. "Yes," assented one, "the Emperoi has spoken and Japan will obey. The Emperor is all-wise and Japan is satis fied." The incident was a striking illustra tion of that wonderful devotion of the Japanese for their sovereign and of thf implicit confidence they place in his every action. Both Countries May Borrow. New York, Special. "Well-informed banking interests are of the opinion that the treaty of peace between Rus sia and Japan will soon be followed by a Russian loan and with another later by Japan. The extent of the loans will depend largely upon the provisions of the agreement between the two coun tries. Bankers believe that Russia will make liberal compensation to Japan, although this may be provided for in a separate understanding. It is known that Russia has made all preparations for placing part of a loan here, and it is well understood that Japan contem plates raising more money to pay in ternal obligations. To Draft Treaty Promptly, Portsmouth, N. H., Special. The of ficial account of Monday afternoon's meeting was given by Mr. Sato on his arrival at the hotel. It is as follows: "In the afternoon session of August 29, the conference lms discussed the de tails of the treaty of peace. It has been decided to entrust the drafting of the clauses of Privy Councillors De Martens and Mr. Dennison, legal advis or of the Foreign Office of Japan, with instructions to finish the work as soon as possible." Surprise in St Petersburg. St. Petersburg, By Cable. The dis patches from Portsmouth brought the first news of the result of the confer ence. The news came as an electric surprise, as official and diplomatic cir cles had been practically without hopes of peace all during the day. The re suit will only become known at night to comparatively few nersons. Million Dollar Fire at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Johnstown, Pa., Special. A serious fire is raging in the Pennsylvania Traffic Stores, which are owned by the Cambria Steel Company. The firemen seem to have lost control of tho flames and it is apparent that the en tire property will be destroyed. The loss may approximate a million dol lars. Boycott Partly Off. Washington, Special. Of particular importance to the Southern cotton spinners and weavers is the announce ment by Minister Rockhill Monday that the Chinese boycott on American piece goods is about to be lifted. Cab ling from Pekin, the minister says his information is to the effect that the anti-American boycott as a whole is gradually subsiding. The Chinese mer chants of Shanghai dealing in piece goods are strongly opposing the boy cott, and taking steps which Minister Rockhill believes are likely to break it, so far as piece goods are concern ed. ' Cases Continued. Fayetteville, Special. In the Supe rior Court here Monday afternoon Judge Moore made an order continuing till the next term of court, the cases against Mr. J. C. Haigh and Mr. G. G. Myrover, cashier and teller, respective ly, of the Bank of Fayetteville, for al leged embezzlement of funds of the bank. Messrs Haigh and Myrover were indicted about four months ago on an alleged shortage of about ?GO,000 in their accounts. Strange Murder in Asheville, N. C, Asheville, N. C-, Special. ''Death at the hands of a person unknown," was the coroner's verdict at an inquest held Monday night on the body of Jas. Daughtry, whose lifeless body was found in the hall of a boarding house in the city early Monday morning. An autopsy held Monday on the corpse re vealed two large clots at the base of the brain, which were evidently caus ed by blows with a blunt instrument. Evidence adduced at the inquest fail ed to throw any light on the mystery f the man s death. THE FEVER'S SPREAD Yellow Jack Grows Alternately Worse and Better FATALITIES BECOME LESS COMMON New Cases Show Up in Many Sec tions of New Orleans and Else where. New Orleans, Special. Official report to 6 p. m.: Jfew cases, 5S; total to date, 2082. Deaths, 5; total, 292. New disease centers, 16. Cases under treatment, 321; discharg ed, 1,490. The increased number of new cases reported Monday is accounted for by the fact that several physicians, whose names had not appeared on the list there. The arrest of Dr. Berge, on a charge of failing to report three cases, is believed to have had its effect on others who were reporting only severe cases. Of the deaths, only one was up town, and he was the only native on the list. Dr. Brady, the medical inspector of the State board, said that many coun try physicians are not reporting mild cases of yellow fever. Among the outside reports are the following: Patterson, nine cases, one death. Lake Providence, three cases, one death. Terre Bonne parish, 15 cases. St. Charles parish, ten cases. La Place, St. John, seven new cases since last report. Amelia, eight new cases. Gulfport, Miss., five new eases. Mississippi City, two new cases. Vicksburg, Miss., two new cases. The situation at Patterson where it was feared the ignorant Italians con templated trouble has developed noth ing new. No overt act has been com mitted, and it is believed that danger is over. Father Widman, the Jesuit priest went there Sunday and met the citizens and a number of leading Ital ians and proposes to make a perrsonal canvass of the town, to talk to every Italian, and convince him of the good intentions of the health authorities. A heavy downpour of rain prevented the mass-meeting which it was pro posed to hold here today. There is much interest in the case of Dr. Philip Berge, the physician who was arrested late Sunday night on the charge of failing to report three cases of yellow fever. He was paroled by the inspector, but will have to answer to the charge Monday morn ing before the second recorder. He says that he reported the cases by mail, but the Marine Hospital Service has no record of them. There has been a recrudescence at Tallulah, in Madison parish, not. far from Vicksburg, three cases having been diagnosed by Dr. Krauss, of the Marine Hospital Service. A report from Leeville, under date of September 1, shows that there have been 312 cases there so far, and 29 deaths, with 145 cases under treat ment. To End Oil Inquiry. ' Birmingham, Special. H. M. Beck, of this city who is representing minori ty stockholders of the United Oil and Land Company, of Columbus, Ga., states that the final hearing in the in vestigation proceedings against the of ficers of the company is to be given in Columbus, Ga., on September 7. A temporary injunction has been in force since last fall which restrains the majority stockholders from disposing of the -company's properties at Moki trick, California, in the Bakersfield district. The Associated Oil Company, which is the largest prroducer in California, now operrates wells which oil daily and the eonipaniespra oer turn out about .000 to 1,500 barrels of oil daily and the officers of the Asso ciated Company are the majority stockholders in the United Oil and Land Company. Peppered the Bridegroom. Richmond, Va., Special. John Kink er was shot and painfully wounded in the left shoulder with a shotgun by W. L. Mason, at Lacross, Va., Sunday afternoon. He went to Mason's to be married to Miss Luia A. Hirris, who was living at Mason's. It is said Ma son had notified Kinker that he would kill him if he came on to his yard. On Kinker entering the yard, Mason fired on him twice, as above stated. Kinker was subsequently married to Miss Har ris and is doing well. Mason ia under arrest.

Mississippi and Louisiana, Florida and Atlanta, Ga., have been declared infected terri tory by the State board of health. Lost $15,000 by Fire. Albany, Ga., Special. Captain Boyd, of Lear, Ga., was the victim Sunday night of one of the most disastrous in cendiary fires ever known in this sec tion, suffering the .loss of a modern barn, stockade and other outbuildings, together with 23 line mules, twelve milk cows with calves, ten bales of cot ton and several thousand dollars' with of wagons, buggies, farm implements and foodstuffs.

TEXTILE II Of INTEREST Great Activity Shown in New Enter prises and Enlargements. Columbia, S. C. The fourth press cloth mill in the United States will be established here- Press cloth is manufactured from camel 's hair and mohair, and the woven cloth is used in cotton-seed oil mills, linseed oil mills, in wine factories and other plants where the products must be strained by pressure through fabric. This new enterprise will be an impor tant addition to Columbia's indus tries as well as to the textile inter ests of the South, with, which it may be classed . The plant at Columbia will be built by the American Press Cloth Co., which is now being organ ized by Messrs. Benj. F. Taylor, John Jacob Seibels, E. G. Seibels, Thomas Tayolr, Jr., and A. S. Guignard, the capital stock to be $50,000 to begin with. Contract has been awarded to Messrs.

The other two are at Brooklyn, N. Y., and North Chelms ford, Mass. Magnolia, Miss. Some months ago the Magnolia Cotton Mills announced certains enlagcments arranged for its plant, and details were made public. The work has progressed steadily, and recently the addition was com piled. It is of interest to note briefly what was done to affect tho better ments. There has been built an ad dition which makes the company's main building 78 feet wide by 292 feet long, and the new machinery Avas installed. This gives the mill an qquipment of 10,000 spindles and 204 looms, with necessary accompanying marchinery, for manufacturing sheee ings. The daily cut put of these goods is 1.3,000 yards. The textile mach inery was furnished by the Whit in Machine Woiks, of Whitimville, Mass., and the Woonsocket Machine and Press Co., of Woonsocket, K. I. The Magnolia oCtton Mills corpora tion increased its capital stock from 100,000 to 200,000 in making these improvements. Durham, N. C Notwithstanding the reports that continue of a boycott on American-made goods by Chinese buyers, the Southern cotton mills con tinue to make shipments of their pro ducts to the Far East. This is indi cated by a dispatch from Dunn, N. C, which refers to the shipment of 500,000 yeards of cloth to Shanghai bv the No. 2 mill of the Erwin Cotton Mills Co., of this place. Tho No. 2 mill is located at Duke, near Dunn. It was planned for 70,000 spindles and 2,000 looms, but only half that equipment is in position at present, and the product is denim cloths. This is one of several recent instances of big foreign order for Southern mills. Emporia, Va. Recent reports that the Ash by' Cotton Mill Co. intends to double its 5000-spindIe plant have been verified by the company. While this is the company's intention, yet contracts for the machinery f tc, will not be awarded for some time, as a water power is to be developed first. This development will consist of ob taining 400-horse power from the Me herrin river, to be transmitted by electricity. It will develop the entire power available, and plans are now being prepared. T. Ashby Blythe of 114 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, is president of the mill company. Textile Notes. The Cabarrus Cotton Mills of Con cord, N.

A CHOLERA SCARE American Seaport Towns Seriously Menaced By the Plague 11 GETS HOLD IN GERMAN PORTS Plague Record Stands at 51 Cases and 19 Deaths, Two Cases Existing at Hamburg, But the Greatest Danger to American Ports is Be lieved to Lie in the Austrian Port of Trieste. Berlin, By Cable. Dr. Nocht, harbor physician at Hamburg, in reply to in quiries made by the press concerning cholera, telegraphs as follows: "The transhipment of Russian emi grants having been suspended at Ham burg, further cholera infection is im probable. "The room companion of the first case has a light attack, but otherwise all the emigrants are healthy. "Three emigrants due to sail last Thursday on the steamer Moltke, (for New York,) were landed and sinco then have been under medical obser vation. All are healthy. The drink ing water and the sanitary arrange ments here are faultless, and conse quently an epidemic is unlikely. "Single instance, naturally, in spite of the greatest care, cannot always be prevented, but no danger exists for sea traffic. I am convinced that all the means for opposing the cholera are in use. We are going to meet the future with tranquility and we hold that Americans have no grounds for dis quietude. "NOCHT." The opinion is expressed in Berlin that the United States seaboard has more to fear from emigrants shipping at Trieste than from German ports as cholera is already in Austria Po land. The record stands at 51 cholera cases and 19 deaths, a steady increase and a high percentage of mortality. The most uneasy news for America is that a second ense exists at Hamburg. It was officially reported that a laborer in St. George's Hospital where the Rus sian emigrant died, has cholera, but it is added that the seizure is of a mildei form than the previous ones. Two of the other fresh cases are in east Prus sia, indicating that the infected area has widened. The imperial health office, as shown by the statement made, is confident that it has the disease in band. The most recently reported vic tims are aiiTong the Russian rivermen in quarantine . Professor Adolph Kafa, Prof. Koch's successor as head of the Institute of Infectious Diseases, has gone to the infected district to direct the measures to confinet the disease. The Institute of Infectious Diseases will be open all night examining secre tions taken from the digestive tubes of persons who have died under cir cumstances suggesting cholera. From time to time couriers arrive from some port of Germany with portions of bodies done up hermetically. The Minister of the Interior has is sued an order covering all Prussia, re quiring physicians immediately after the death of any suspected patient to send a messenger with sections of the almeutary canal to the Institute of Infectious Diseases for through exami nation. Gets Lover Duty. Mexico City, Special In consequence of a treaty recently made between French and Mexico, the former country is now imposing the minimum duty on Mexico coffee shipped from a Mexi can to a French port. Exports of cof fee to France show a considerable in crease at very good prices. Doubt Cast on Stcry. Fernandina, Fla... Special. The two men from the ill-fated ship Peconic, which they say sank near this shore last Sunday, arc still here, and, in obedience to orders icecived from New Yrok, from the vessel's owners, will ton and several thousand dollars' worth uniil th truth of their story is fully established. No bodies have yet wash ed ashore ar.d no wreckage from the vessel has been seen. Bomb Explodes in Crowd. Barcelona, Special. A bomb explod ed with terrific force Sunday afternoon on the marine parade, which was thronged with holiday makerrs. A panic ensued and the air was rent with shrieks and groans of the victims, who numbered 21, including one woman, killed and five persons mortally wound ed. The bomb was conical in shape and was covered with cement. The perpetrator of the outrage is unknown. One witnees states that early this morning a child was seen to deposit a bomb at the foot of a tree, while an other version is that the bomb was plac ed at the foot of a tree this afternoon and that the man who was seen to place it there was injured No Spread of Disease at Notchez. Natchez, Miss., Special. This is the fifth day since the promulgation of the report of yellow fever in Natchez, since which time no new cases have been re ported.

Mexico City, Special. In view of the large number of European emigrants who are flocking to South America, es pecially to Brazil, Senor Joaquin Tor rrcs, has been in consultation with in terested parties in this country with a view to diverting the tide of immigra tion to Mexico. It is probable that ; committee will be formed for the pur pose of heading some of the desirablt emigrants in this direction, as there is a good demand on the various planta tions of steady agricultural laborers.

An effort is to be made, during the coming autumn, it is learned from Mr. Strteteiyof the Children's Home So ciety of North Carolina, to effect the organization of a State conference of charities. Of course it is understood that the call for this will emanate from the State board of charities, which will manifest interest in the work.

What he has done with his work so far has very clearly shown tie value of the probation sys tem.
