AIIIIVIK KMr.VKIl IIK1 WI1ILK Wlite Ueiu lo Day'a Conference Far From Hopeful and Va Stunned bf Koniiirn' Yielding, Not Only llie ludrninllf ((nmilon, but lUlunr Disputed Polnta LaatluK Peace Hellevcd lo be Auured, If Mot Al'lame Tiralf Kx peeled to be Keadr by Kud of Week. I'OKT.-M'TTH, N. H., long and bloody war aud Russia is c tided, peace were settled by Baron Komura at the Aug. 2'.. The between Japan The terms of Mr. VVitte and sessions of the conference this morning, and this af ternoon pieliminary arrangements for an armistice were concluded and the actual work of framing the "Treaty of Portsmouth" was by mutual agree ment, turned over to Mr. De Mar ten's Russia's great international law yer, and Mr. Penniaon, who for 25 years has acted as the legal advisor of the Japanese Foreign Otl'i ce. The treaty is expected to be com pleted by the end of the week. This happy conclusion of the con ference, which, week ago, would have been shipwrecked had it not been for the heroic intercession of President Koosevelt, was sudden and dramatic. For the gake of of peace, Japan, with the magnanimity of a victor, at tne last moment yielded everything still in issue. Russia refused to budge from the ultimatum Czar .Nicholas had given t) President Roosevelt through Ambassador Meyer. No indemnity un der any guise, but an agreement to di vide Skbalin and reimburse Japan for the maintenance of the Russian prisoners, were his last words. They bad been repeatedly reiterated ia Mr Witte's instructions, and in tne form jf a written np'y to the Japanese compro'nise proposals of last Wednes day they were delivered to Baron Komura this morning. - Baron Komura gave way on alll the disputed joints. With the prescience that has enabled the Japanese to gauge the mental processes of their adver saries on the field of battle and upon the sea, they had realized in advance that peace could be obtained in no other way. They had their government. President Roosevelt had also, it is said, advised Japan that it was better to meet the Ruseiau positions than to take the responsibility of continuing the war for the purpose of collecting tribute. The Mikado, at the session of the cabinet and elder statesmen yesterday, had sanctioned the final concession: When Baron Komura yielded, the rest was mere child's play. Although Mr. Witte is not a diplo malist, 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 convert the war into a war to collect tribute. The Russians declared that diplomati cally the Japanese made their colossal blunder when they agreed to consider the conditions seriatim. Baron Komura following the rule he has set himself, declined to make any statement, aud Mr. Tnkahira would only say when a?ked to make a state ment: "For the sake of humanity and civ ilization, and as we believe, in (he in terest of both countries and the world, we have made peace." Mr. Witte said: "The Japanese wanted to take our interned ships, and I have not consented. The Japanese " WITHOUT A PAIN," writes Mary Shelton, of Poplar Bluff, Mo., " I cn do my housework, although, before taking CARDU1, two doctors had done me no good. I can truthfully say I was cured by Cardul. I want every suffering lady to know of this wonderful medicine." wanted to limit our naval power in the Far Etst, and I have not consented. The Japanese wanted war indemnity or reimbursement of the war; aye, de manded it, and I have not consented. The Japanese wanted the Chinese Eastern Railway south of Harbin, but I gave them only the railroad in the possession of their troops south of Chantufu. The Japanese wanted the island of Sakhalin and I refused it, agreeing, however, at the last moment to cede the southern half, and then only because I was commanded by my sovereign to yield, and obeyed. Not only do we not pay so much as a kopeck, but we obtain half of Sakhalin, now in their possession. At this morn ings meeting I presented my written proposition, which was the Russian ulti matum. It was accepted by the Japa nese. I was amaz d Until 1 was In the conference room I did not think what would happen. I could not an ticipate such a great and happy i$me. It was a crisis. I had nia.de up my mind not to stiike out a letter of the ultimatum I submitted. So far as I was concerned, it was ended. But I could not tell how it would, work on the Japanese mind. It was a complete victory for us." PJLirK piioTErrioN in iu iial DITKICT. Mrs W. H. Fi-lton. In Atlanta Journal. I frequently get letters from the peo ple of this State asking my co-operation in securing reform, measures or better legislation. Many subjects are noted in these letters. Among them I select the following from to-day's mail: "Dear Madam: Do please write an open letter to the present house of rep resentatives write to the individuals if possible in regard to pacing a coun try patrol measure for the protection of rural homes. "I think such a bill was killed in the last legislature. I do feel the need of such a mea-ure. I live a fu 1 mi'e dis tant from any white family. During the fall and winter I am obliged to be away from home until after nightfall. "Tnere isa lot of shooting going on. The public highway has much pist 1 shooting af'er night. Thcrj ia nobo y to investigate such mttrra as it now stands. These offenders should be re buked or brought to tril. Do all yju Ciu on this line. I am a oratait reader of your letters or ariiclea in Tne Journal and a great admirer of your writings. "Wishing you many, many years of continued usefulness, I am truly yours, Fakmki; " There is not a day of life that I do not recognize the necessity for some organization of the farmer class in ru ral districts for the better protection of the helpless and innocent, who are not safe in their own homes when they are necessarily left alone by the male mem bers of their respective households. There Bhould be some prevention of crime as well as frequent or prompt punishment of criminals. I have urged this question so often, so persistently and apparently so hope- eesly, that I am almost diepairing as to my capacity fo'r arousing public sen timent on this subject. The land is full of iilentss and va grancy. Idlers and vagrants are a me-' nace to the peace of the community. fhere should be some authority in the land by which these roving characters can be overlooked. We have a vagrant aw on the statute bo ks now by which authority is given to take up and ex amin' Bu;h persons but there seems to be no otlicer charged with such duty or perhaps nobody is paid to do the work and what is ever) body's business is nobody's business and all goes by de fault. To carry out this vagrant law there must be enough capable persons en gaged to do the work of supervision In every district there should be sev eral men ready for service all the time and the vane us squads should be drilled and disciplined under proper rules and regulations. It might be called patrol duty and the members nf this patrol force might be exempted from other civic duties Buch as road working, etc , while they were liable for tbi patrol service for the common good. I am not competent to frame a bill to cover the point I am here here to emphasize, but in plain words, I do not hesitate to say there should be organ ized bodies of men, of good character and prudence who will be on the qui v ve for questionable people and they c uld be utilized also to aid the sheriff in locating criminals after fjul deeds are perpetrated. I felt helpless and in a measure wronged when nobody instituted a search for the vicious cieature who set an incendiary fire in our bar.i and crib a few years ago and destroyed so many farm animals, and so much property went up in smoke within thirty min utaa. Doubtless there w re people who were sorry for us but there was nothing done to ferret out the criminal, although there were tracks and suspicious va grants in the vicinity. Do give some protection to helpless women and chil dren, legislators ! It makes me tired when I see tax money flung aroung for all sorts of schemes and yet no white farmer's wife or daughter is safe to walk the public highway alone, and they shonld be given some sort of protection in their homes, that they may not qaat d tremble in their helplujondition every time husbands and fathers go to the field to plow, reap or sow their crops as husbandmen. If it was generally understood that suspicious characters must give an ac count of themselves and every stranger must be required to state his business or be found engaged in some sort of work that is lawful or common to the ountry; there would be no difficulty in applying this moribund vagrant law for the safety of homes and peace-loving households. But the law ought to be stricken out if it is a dead letter because of neglect or insufficient authority to enforce its provisions. I am satisfied that poor Mr. and Mr. Holbrook would be alive to-day if it was not fact that no effort was made to protect the helpless and aged or pre serve the peace until an awful crime of brutal: murder and robbery had been perpetrated on an innocent and harm I ss couple of citizens, who were mas sacred by a gaDg of well known wretches in the neighborhood in cold tlood. Such a lawless gang should not have been tolerated in a law-abiding com munity long before that aged couple were murdered in their own home. The foul deed must be done it ap pears, and the helpless can be strength ened before there is any sort of effort made tr protect the people who are still alive and able to cry out in horror at such outrages. The did proverb reads: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." What a pity it is that our people have not the foresight and prudence which would gp such a long way towards the preservation of human life and relieve the anjtlety of those who are terrorized by reason of their helplessness! Trm of Peace Arranged. Charlott" Observer, 30th. The war in the Far East ia to come to an end. The terms of peace were agreed upon at Portsmouth yesterday by the envoys representing Japan and Russia, Russia cedes half of the island of Sakhalin to Japan and pays no in demnity. These are the two prominent facts in the case the balance is detail. The result is a triumph for Russian tenacity and diplomacy. Beaten in war, ths Muscovite has largely retrieved the fortunes lost in the field and on the sea by the clear victory won in the arena of diplomacy. The Japanese envoys would not of themselves have made the bargain which ends the war. Their course was mapped out at Tokio br the Knperor, the cabinet and the elder statesmen, and the envoys had but to fellow it. The world, however, ii concerned not with the details, but the main fact the fact that there is to be peace. And, however reluctantly, every candid mind must admit that for this the chief credit is due to President Roosevelt. It was he who promoted the peace conference and he who held the envoys together when, several times, further negotiations seemed useless. It was hi insistence that, on these occa sions, secured further conference, he keepipg in communication all the while with Tokio and St. Petersburg, and these further conferences have eventu ated in peace, which at times appeared impossible. Not Japan and Russia alone, but the world, is the debtor of the President of the United 8tates, and the people of the country, without re gard to party, may well feel pride in the ghory with which he has crowned his name.

I am writing this letter en route from Chicago to old 8alem Chautauqua, near Petersburg, 111. These fast trains run smoothly on the splendid roadbeds, and Inavy steel rails. For the first time in my life I find myself getting a little dubious of these railroad accidents and those Missouri storms. The railroad wrecks or the I Harms have neither got any blood out oi m yet, but I have this year made several bair-bicadtkaaoapes. The traffic is so heavy both in ight and pa88erjger that I wonder some times that there is not more accidents and wrecks. The moderu safety ap pliances and good management as well as good luck keeps us out of many a wreck. I am glad to note some improvement in the yellow fever situation in New Orleans, but sorry to see that the reports outside of the city are not encouraging. It's an awful strain and draft on a com munity to go through an epidemic of yellow fever. This is a great big country in which wa live, and when one section is stricken other sections offer clime and refuge to the stricken ones. Colonel John Temple Graves, for the United States 8enate. Georgia has no cleaner character or broader-brained man than John Temple Graves. He is worthy and well qualified. Senator Bacon is a lawyer and logician, and s ands at the foie'ront in the upper house of congress. Wonder if Georgia will have a primary on the United State Senate candidacy? If so, Colonel Graves is the winner. He SDeaks as well as he lives. Tom Watson, Sam Small and Seab Wright are the only three men in Georgia who can hold their own on the stump with John Tern pie. Colonel Graves has as much right t ) run for and as many good qualities to fill such a post of honor as any man I know. Go it, gentlemen, I admire )ou both, and would be satisfied with either. Governor Bob Taylor and Senator Car mack, Tennessee, are grooming for a race like that in Tennessee and they will have warm' times. Bob with his fiddle and bow, and infinite fund of fuany stories, the general good nature and inimical memory, moves as smooth ly with the crowd on board as a board oi a smooth sea. But Carmack is the JOth century limited on land. A blast of his whistle means clear the track or take the ditch. Bob Taylor is a suc cession of zephyrs that fans the brow and soothes the soul. Carmack is a cyclone. Bob has humor, Carmack sarcasm. Bob stirs the sensibilities and Csrmack stirs your sense. Bob will give them warm pudding, Carmack cold steel. Bob is good on the stumc Carmack great Bob is the choice can didate, Carmack the choice Senator. If they join in debate over the State I pre dict- So, come into the arena Colonel Graves. We all despise a dull time. If an office is worth having it's worth run ning for, against all odds and all comers. I'll tip my hat to the victor and weep with the one that weeps, so to speak. I only desire for my country that every office be filled by a clean, noble, true man, who thinks more of princi ples than he does of party. L We have lost a Green Tag, No. 2315, somewhere in Concord.
