It N It is probable that within the next 60 days the work of populating a, large tract of land in Aiken county will be commenced. This land was AN acquired through the bureau of immi gration and will be used for afford- Fate ing homes to thrifty people who are dissatisfied with the climate of New - England. T: The agent in charge of this colon- T ization movement is Capt. E. Lind- C11 burg, a native of Sweden, who for 32 years has been engaged in building g up settlements of this kind in the pess northwest. preN Captain Lindburg said that he had pea< learned through Mr. Chas. 0. Due of that Charleston thai; in South Carolina al there are vast acres of arable land not ipot, under cultivation and that this is an inviting chance for immigrants of the whi proper kind. Mr. Due who is a Nor- tein wegian. is cashier of the Security con. National bank of Charleston. sign Captain Lindburg came to South con, Carolina and made an investigation well as to climatic and other conditions. ing He found much of the land unsuited to any immigration except that of coolies. But three-fourths of the 30,- is sl 000.000 acres may be inhabited by Neit settlers of any nationality. About will this time there was considerable talk wre, of the establishment in South Caro- pre. lina of a bureau of immigration and at I Captain Lindburg gave much valn- her able information to those leading in wha the fight. - - ha The conliizaion agencies wanted as the State to establish such a bureau, und for it would be no real estate agency ing to make all lands appear fertile and kno have the first settlers go away dis- enci appointed. What was wanted was a the bureau to compile accurate informa- Jap; tion and staticties and to secure op- thrc tions on large 7racts of land at rE-as- hav onable terms. hay On his second trip to Sou:h Caro- star lina at the invitation of thc bureau wi of immigration, Captain Lindbur twe contracted for the purchase of 10,000 issu acres of land between Trenton and ject Croft station and approaching the nav city of Aiken. He had found the inte climate of the State exaciy what is arra wanted by the dissatisfied Swedes of . in New England and in the northwest, Whi and that for 30 months in the year cila farming operations can be conducted Mr. here.

But through dem his own and other agencies all such Saki fears have been dissipated and these cord people are ready to come here and the become settlers. wou In addition to the :.0.000 acres of perc which he contracted last September, toc5 Captain Lindburg has secured options fact on 6,000 acres in an adjoining tract juda and 3,100 acres in another, making that nearly 20,000 acres in all in Aiken ance county.

ROOSEVELT POINTS OUT THlE WAY Outline of Proposition to Baron Roson Becomes Known-Suggestion Hard For the Czar, as Author of The Hague Peace Conference, to Reject I -Japan's Acceptance Considered Assured if Russia's is Obtained. Portsmouth, N. H.. Special.-It can not be autroritati-"y stated that the feature of the proposition of Presi dent Roosevelt communicated through Baron Rosen to Mr. Witte and trans mitted by the latter to Emperor Nicho las was based upon the principle of arbitration. Whether the proposal con templates arbitration of all the articles npon which the plenipotentiaries have failed to agree, or upon the question of indemnity cannot be stated with posi tiveness, but it is more than probable that it relates only to indemnity or to indemnity and the cession of the is land of Sakhalin. Neither is it possi ble to s-y whether the President has has yet made a similar proposition to Japan. The customary diplomatic pro ceedings in such a case would be to submit the proposal simultaneously to both countries, but there might be an advantage in securing the adherence of one before submitting it to the other. To Emperor Nicholas. the author of The Hague peace conference, the sug gestion of arbitration which will neces sarily immediately command the sym pathy of the public opinion of the world will be particularly hard to re ject. If he ngrees, Japan. if she has not already done so. would be all the more bound to submit her claim to the decision of an impartial arbitrator. Ac ceptance by both sides would involvg a great extension of the principle ol arbitration, as nations have heretofore declined to arbitrate questions involv ing their "honor and dignity." Both Mr. Takahira and Mr. Witte in the earlier stages of the conference abso lutely rejected the idea of arbitration. and both reiterated their disbelief in such a solution. It was noticed, how ever, that Mr. Witte's opinion was not expressed as strongly as it was last week. An Offer to Japan. Portsmouth, N. H., Special.- The chances of peace have undoubtedly been improved by President Rcose velt's action in stepping into the breach in a last heroic endeavor to induce the warring countries to com promise their -irreconcilable differ ences," but the result is still in sus pense. The ultimate decision of the issue has de facto if not de jure, passed from the plenipotentiaries to their principals, from Portsmouth to St. Petersburg, and perhaps in a lesser extent, to Tokio. Although there are collateral evidences that pressure both by President Roosevelt and neutral powers, including Japan's ally, Great Britain, whose minister, Claude Mc Donald, according to advices received here, held a long conference Sunday afternoon with Mr. Katsura, the Japan ese Premier, is still being exerted at Tokio to induce Japan to moderate her demands, there is reason to be lieve that President Roosevelt was able at his interview with Baron de Rosen to practically communicate to the latter's senior, Mr. Witte, Japaa's irreducible minimum-what she would yield, but the point beyond which she would not go. Whether an actual basis of compro mise was proposed by the Pr-sident, cannot be stated definitely. The only thing that can be affirmed positively is that if Russia refuses to act upon the suggestion or proposition of Pres ident Roosevelt the peace conference will end in failure. INo clue of the nature of this rec ommendation has transpired. But it can be stated that Mr. Witte, no mat ter how he may personally view the proposition, is distinctively pessimis tic as to the character of the response which will come from St. Petersburg. To a confidential friend he offered lit tle hope of a change in the situation. The Japanese. very firmly believed, cling to the substance if not the form 'of this demand for remuneration for "the cost of the war." Perhaps they are willing to decrease the sum asked. but substantial com pensation, under whatever guise it is obtained, they- decline to relinquish. And they are also firm upon the ces sion of Sakhalin. Jap Warships Off Siberia. Godzyadani, Manchuria, By Cable. A t spmall squadron of Japanese cruisers is crusing off the shore of Kamehatka.
