TREATY NEARLY READY TO SIGN Work of Engrossing Now Under the Documenl Way. ARMIES TO BE WITHDRAWN Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 4. The "Treaty of Portsmouth" has been com pleted and is now being engrossed in French and English and will probably be signed today or tomorrow. It con sists of 17 articles, preceded by a short preamble. The articles relating to the non-fortification of the island of Sakhalin and La Perouse Straits, and the evac uation of Manchuria were settled. Both parties bind themselves not to fortify the island. La Perouse Is to be "open" and Japan agrees not to erect works to command the strait. The article relating to the evacua tion of Manchuria provides that the troops, immediately upon the exchange of final ratifications, are to be with drawn respectively to the lines ol Mukden and Harbin. The number of "railroad guards" In ordinary times is limited, but provision is made for the dispatch of troops for the protection of the line in case of disorders upon condition that they are immediately withdrawn when their mission is fin lshed. The alarmist stories that have gone out are pure moonshine. The peace of Portsmouth will be an accomplished fact. There can and will be no per manent disagreements. Details are beins: settled and details are impor tant, but no detail is important enough to cause a rupture. It is not deemed possible here that there can be a break, although some of the Russians and some of the Japanese shake theii heads and say a treaty "is not signed until it is signed." The Russians and the Japanese are both seeking for every advantage. The nervousness over the outcome is not real, however, neither Russians noi Japanese can afford to break now, ani. neither will. The plenipotentiaries and the at taches of the two missions seem to be fully as anxious for the curtain tc ring down on the final act of the drama as the little colony of newspa per correspondents and summer guesti who are waiting to be "in at the Hontb The work of engrossing the treatv has already begun, Mr. Rojest- vensky doing the caligraphic work oi the French and Mr. Adashi of the English text. Controversies over the phraseology still continue, and there were several conferences between Mr. De Martens and Mr. Dennison, differ ences being referred for adjustment tc the principals. The Japanese are prov ing great sticklers for words. They cling tenaciously to their ideas. Care ful preparation and methods have been the secret of their successes on land and sea., and in their diplomatic struggles at Portsmouth the same qualities have been displayed. In the sittings of the conference Baron Komura always stated the Jap anese position upon a given point briefly, but with great care, and when Mr. Witte, whose method was entirely different, would try to draw out ex planations, he would stick doggedly to the statement he had made. Mr. Witte, a man of affairs, resourceful and tal ented as he is admitted to be, had his case in his head. He never brought any papers with him. He met every thing which came up in an off-hand way, weighing it instantly in his mind, analyzing it, arguing the logic pro and con. and stating his view quite bluntly, never asking for time to consider. Baron Komura, on the other hand, could with the greatest difficulty be induced to enter into the region of ar gument. He stuck to the brief before him. Speaking always quite slowly, he would repeat over and over again what he had stated, as if he had learn ed his lesson by rote. Several times Mr. Witte would say: "Yes, T under stand perfectly what you say, but what do you mean, what is your real object?" Then Baron Komura would go back and restate his proposition almost exactly as he had done origi nally. Both systems had their advan tages. By insisting, insisting, insist ins- Baron Komura would sometimes catch Mr. Witte off his guard and pro voke him into statements which were always eagerly seized upon, as a nnai resort, Baron Komura was always ith a written solution of a question, and wov.ld produce It sud rfenlv saving: "This is what we pro- nose. What have you got to offer?' Then the value of preparation and ViT-ciMitrinpss was apparent. Mr. IVl v-j"-"--- - - Witte seldom had a crystallized coun or nrnnnsition to make. But on the other hand, whenever Mr. Witte sue ceeded in leading his adversary into the realm of argumnet where previous orenaration availed nothing, he had Baron Komura at a disadvantage. One of those present likened Raroa Ko mnra to a horse in "blinders" as long as he was on the beaten road, with his work cut out ahead of him. he got ninno cwlmmiiiirlv. but the instant he was oft the road Into the woods with the "blinders" removed, he appeared to be confused and lost and hastened back as speedily as possible to the road he had mentally traversed to often and with every foot of which he was familiar. While a full synopsis of the treaty will be cabled to the governments of the two conntries. the actual text will not be known at Tokio or St Peters hnre until the plenipotentiaries arrive c wm. TL-tii nprfirnallv convey the XA 1 . II uv. ..... r - text to St. Petersburg and Baron Ko mnra to Tokio. This is the real reason why both are anxious to get home as soon as possible, as the treaty c nnt P-s into force until the two perors have signed. To avoid the delaj rf ovrhinee of documents, wi wmiiri involve six weeks at least, offl cial notification of the final approval by the emperors will be made through neutrals, the United States In the case of Japan, and France in the caae ol Russia. The text of the treaty will not be made public at Portsmouth. If it ever is, it will be after it has received the approval of the two emperors. The signing of the treaty 1b to be a very exclusive affair. The Japanese objected to the presence of any news paper correspondents or photogra phers, and it has therefore been de cided that besides the plenipoten tiaries and secretaries there shall be present only Assistant Secretary Peirce, representing the president; Governor McLane, of New Hampshire; the mayor of Portsmouth; Admiral Mead, commander of the navy yard, and the commanders of any United States warships in the harbor in thii case only Captain Winslow, of the Mayflower. Mr. Peirce has procured four ordinary quill pens, with one ol which each of the plenipotentiaries will sign. MIKADO THANKS THE PRESIDENT Cablegram Puts An End to Rumoi That Japan is Dissatisfied.

The cablegram, which was recelvec from the emperor personally, follows: "Tokio, Sept. 3, 1905.

The Russian emperor has thanked President Roosevelt for his efforts tc secure peace. The dispatch is regarded as one of the most remarkable of its kind ever sent by the head of one na tion to that of another. The cable gram follows: "Peterhof. Alexandria. Aug. 31.

A gentleman, now an edi tor, was teaching school, Dan being one of his pupils and being disobedi ent and intractable one day the teacher had to correct him. The next day Dan's mother came to the school house and after giving the teacher a tongue lashing took her son from the school. It is possible this incident was the turning point in the boy's career. Had the teacher been sustained by the parent and the hov tniirrhr. rvroner resnect for con- for etit,uted authority his downward ca reer and end on the gallows might have been avoided.

The North Carolina exchanges that reached the office of the News and Courier yesterday brought with them an interesting supplement, entitled "Our Women in the War." The edi tor of the supplement was Miss Mamie Bays, of Charlotte, and the proceeds from the sale of the paper will be de voted to establishing a suitable me morial to the Women of the Confed eracy. The editor says "it is to the earnest and untiring efforts of Gen. C. Irvin Walker, of Clfarleston, S. C, more than to any other one person, that the publication of these supple ments has been madepossible." They have already been issued in several States, and when the volume of them is completed they will record the deeds of the women of Atlanta, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi,North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Miss Baysand her co-laborers have done their work exceedingly well in North Carolina. The paper that they have issued contains sixteen large and admirably printed pages that teem with interesting historical sketches of the work of the heroic women of the Old North State dur ing the war between the sections. A copy of it cannot fail to interest a veteran of that great struggle, no matter in what part of the South he lives. Miss Bays and her associates are entitled to the congratulations and to the gratitude of the public. They have accomplished most admir ably an exceedingly worthy task. No Unpleasant Effects.

The question as to Senator Sim mons' successor is being raised again. The publication has been made that Mr. Aycock's friends are alreadv at work for him. The Messenger pub lished editorially in the latter part of last May that it had the statement of a gentleman, who said he had been told a few days before by Mr. Ay cock that he would not be an oppon ent of Mr. Simmons in the latter's candidacy for re-election. The elec tion will not take place until January, 1907. That is a long time off, and Mr. Ay cock may change his mind under pressure by his friends, who may now be arranging for and organ izing to bring the pressure to bear upon him. There is no telling what changes may take place in the next eighteen months. It is quite likely that there will be several senatorial candidates in the field when election time comes around. Whether Mr. Aycock will be a candidate or not it is more than likely that Senator Simmons will have opposition and strong opposi tion at that. It might be that ex Senator Jarvis would like to finish out bis unexpired term, which ex-Sen- awrxTiccnara cut. suun m iow,auu there will probably be others. In fact, we may feel pretty sure that the woods are full of men in the east who would be willing to succeed Senator Simmons and who think themselves perfectly competent to do, so that it won't be as hard to get them out of the woods as Mr. Bryan has found it to be with those thousands of Demo crats he savs are in similar situation.

She has since sent out to the front 780,000 men. Japan is said to have mobilized nearly 700,000 men. Total forces engaged since the out break of the war (about) 1,540,000 men. Of these the killed, permanently disabled and invalided home have been computed at 025,000; .'175,000 Russians and 250,000 Japanese. Japan has suffered the loss of onlv one prominent officer, Commander Oda. The Russian officers of rank killed are Count Keller, Generals Rut- kovskv, Smolensky, Rialinkin, Teer pitsy, Kondratchenko, Commander Stopanoff and admirals Makaroff, Molas, Voslkerasham and Withofft. In money, according to figures pub lished in the. Gazette of St. Peters burg, the war has cost Russia (in cluding property destroyed) f 1,075,- 000,000. On the 5th of June it was estima ted at Tokio that the cost to Japan had been close in t lie neighborhood of 475,000,000.

He gen erally manages to occupy rather more than the space a passenger is expect ed to take in, a street car, and he needs more room on the sidewalk than is taken by the Ansrlo-Saxon. I have frequently seen everv white man standing in u car in order that the women mar have seats, and at tin same time several women hanging on to straps, while big, strong negroes had comfortable seats. I have often seen negro men in Washington keep their seats when white women enter ed a crowded car, and allow them to stand, though every white man was on his feet. But when a negro woman entered the darkies would rise at once and offer their seats to their dusky femi ninity. The regular visitor to the departments, where the corridors are crowded with sleek, well fed negro messengers, not one of whom aggre gates one day's work in the course of a month, comes to feel a contempt for the negro who is constantly on the lookout for such positions where the pay is good and the duties are light.

MINORITY REPORT DEFEATED Put in-Bay, O., Sept 4. The com mittee on assessments appointed by the Royal Arcanum to hear the claims of the protesting delegates reported on the various petitions, resolutions and protests In regard to the new rates. The report reaffirmed and de fended the action of the supreme coun cil at Atlantic City in May and recess mended that no change be made in the rates. They further recommended an amendment to the laws providing that any member 63 years of age or over or hereafter reaching such age may pay only one-half of the prescribed amount of the assessment and the balance, with 4 per cent. Interest, com pounded annually, shall be charged against his benefit certificate and de ducted therefrom upon payment of the benefit. They also recommended that a spe cial fund be raised by the payment ot 20 cents a year, to be used only fot the relief of members of the rate oi 65 years or over whose circumstances are such that they are not able to pay a portion or the whole of their assess ments. The expenditure from this fraternal fund is to be under the direction ol the supreme recent, in accordance with rules laid down by the executive committee. Representatives McGowan, of New York, and Murray, of Massachusetts, presented a minority report regarding such amendments to the laws as would repeal the rates and options adopted in May last and re-enact the previous laws governing the widows and orphans benefit fund. They moved to substitute this resolution for sc much of the report of the committee as related to the new rates and op tions, and on a roll call the motion to substitute was defeated by a vote of 63 to 38. The final meeting will be held to day, when the proposition to repeal options B, C and D will be reported on. The opposing delegates declined to state any opinion as to the likeli hood of the matter being carried intc the courts. The impression exists thai the feeling that this should be done has been modified by the addresses that have been made, several of the leading protestants against the new rates advocating that this be not done no matter what the result of this ses sion was. Although protesting dele gates refuted to be quoted until thej have reported to their committees, ll is thought liiey are less strongly op posed to the new rates than on com ing here, all hough the feeling thai they should not have been put forth without any notice to members still exists.
