In fact, the progress they have made in the few days devoted to the actual consideration, of the situation has been a very surprising" feature of the con ference. The failure to agree today may mean much or little, but the de c.sion to proceed with their work was 1) b3 construed as a tribute to their food' sense and devotion to the cause of : .:. Information derived from a source re garded as reliable leads to the belief that the Japanese demand for the c..:'iuii of Saghalien Inland to the T kio government is the ground of t dispute upon which the envoys (ailed to agree. This was "article 3" i: the Japanese conditions, and when the plenipotentiaries found that they ( "'U'.il not agree they came to the con clusion that it should be side-tracked l a- the time being in order not to de l y the consideration of other articles Lot f.eriously regarded. The . dispute ev r article 5 occurred at the morning a'... of the envoys, and upon the r-. for" luncheon they authorized" t-. at the following statement be given to the press: 'I;, the morning session of August 15 the conference discussed articles 4 a . Article 4 was unanimously- titrcc-d upon. " Not being able to ar rive at a unanimous decision of ar ticle 5, the plenipotentiaries decided 'o take note of the divergent views and to proceed, -with the discussion of other irieles." - To attempt to give an account Qf v hat occurred at the conference of txVay is to pretend knowledge that no 1 'y is believed to possess outside of those who were prosent at today's session. From an unquestioned source of information it is learned, however, that the Russian plenipotentiaries -lave accepted Japan's condition that lfr preponderance of influence in Corea be recognized by Russia, coupled fc'ith the proviso upon which Mr 'ft'it.t and Baron Rosen Insisted, that Russia be granted most favored na tional treatment in her traae inter course with the hermit kingdom, and ftey have also agreed to Japan's de tiiaid that Manchuria be evacuated. Ihe evacuation clause of the arrange-ii'-nt thus far completed provides for U'-e withdrawal not only of Russian fr of Japanese troops. . It was finally Ijasr.ri at the morning1 session to- thv. 'hen the plenipotentiaries assembled ifter luncheon they immediately began Ihe consideration of article 6. Strict locrc.y as to what this article pro-' ii d i3 being observed by both sides, cut : ler..ked out this cvpnine1 that the is had gained a victory. From e known fact the inference is that the Japanese demand ror vision of the Russian ships in- under the custody of the Ameri sian ships, the disposition of these ships, upon the conclusion of the war, will be made only as the result of an international conference in which tho United States and China as well as Russia and Japan would be parties. It is useless in the face of the se crecy that is being displayed by both parties to the conference to attempt to give in regular order the various points upon which the plenipotentiaries have reached a conclusion. Cut It ap pears probable that the adjustment thus far has embraced the following items: Russia agrees to recognize the pre ponderlng influence of Japan in Corea. Japan-consents to allow Russia the advantage of most favored national treatment in Corea,. Russia and Japan agree to respect the territorial, and political integrity of China. Russia and Japan agree to withdraw all their military forces from Chinese territory. Russia agrees to surrender to Japan her leases of Port Arthur and the Liao Tung penisular. Upon this last point, however, there is no definite as surance that the disposition indicated has. .been made. 1 From a high) source of authority it was learned after the .conclusion of the congressmen today. It was followed by a crowded and most successful con ference with the sugar planters of the Island of Panay. Secretary Taft led an investigation which unmistakably proved the inferiority of Philippine sugars and dispelled the idea of the pos sibility of their competition with the American superior product. Senators Scott, Newlands and Patterson vigor ously examined the witnesses upon cul tivation, milling, shipping and the av erage production.

The correspondent asked him: "Will you give your parent consent and for giveness?" Mr. Croker adjusted his cigar in the corner of his mouth and slowly re plied: "I have nothing to say, as I do not-, know the circumstances. But I have always believed that when young people are in that mood itjs best to give consent, as if you don't they get married anyhow." Mr. Croker declined to discuss the possibility that his daughter might ar rive in London and have the marriage performed here. . tariff and the reduction of the internal revenue taxes. At luncheon on the transport Logan today Secretary Taft read a cable mes sage from President Roosevelt which. said: "I am of opinion that an extra session will be unnecessary."

During his attendance here upon old home week celebrations, Governor Pell was questioned as to what liquid would be used at the launching of the battle ship Vermont. He emphatically replied nothing but champagne. He added that he had received many letters from members of the W. C. T.

The corres pondent of the Standard at Moscow, who attended the congress of peasants describes the extraordinary precautions taken to prevent discovery. The peas ants met in a country house near Mos cow. Most of the business was trans acted at night. Delegates were present from all parts of" Russia. Many of them were illit erate. Many were intercepted by the police and asked to explain their busi ness. They, could not give satisfactory answers and were arrested and placed in jail. ' The first day of the congress was mostlyoccupied in listening to verbal accounts by the representatives of the proceedings of the authorities. It was a piteous tale, and if only a quarter true would' almost justify the excesses of another French revolution. Hour after hour the recital proceeded. Ev erywhere, injustice and oppression pre vailed without a possibility of redress. The" judges and priests of rural dis tricts form an impassaDie carrier against complaints of the down-trodden peasants upon whom all prey with impunity. Great indignation was expressed at the suppression by local officials of the czar's ukase, and the recript in some cases was not read - to them until months after it bjad been issued. In some cases it was completely with held. One speaker said: "The priests are our worst enemies. The holy synod is nothing more than a branch of the police to which the priests are com pelled to denounce their parishioners whenever they suspect them of being implicated in revolution." Only one speaker pointed out that land was worthless without capital, but few if any believed in a resolution based on the theory that nobdy is en titled to land unless he worked for it. They declared that the state and church lands oughit to be handed over to the peasants without redemption and private owners compensated with only as much as he could himself work.

The railroads and refrigerator lines are made respondents in proceedings which require that specific answers to all allegations be made to the interstate cemmerce commission by September 5.

This is held to be in violation of sections 2 and 3 of the act to regulate interstate commerce. Another charge is that failure and neglect to publish at shipping stations and file with the interstate commerce commission the rates and charges im posed for the refrigeration of fruit and vegetables constitutes a violation of section 6 of the interstate commerce act.
