Japan Materially Modifies Terms of
Peace Proposition
Euvoy Komura Will Offer Entoy
Witte a Waiver of the Claim to
"Roimbuuise' for the Cost of the
War" and Will Propose to Refer to
Arbitration the Amount to bo Paid
Japan for Evacuating the Northern
Ha,Jf of Sakhalin.
Portsmouth, N. H., Special.? Tuesday
morning Baron Komura, acting upon
instructions received from Tokio as a
arotiiilt of Monday's meeting of thfe cabi
net and "elder statesmen" under the
dircct presidency ot the Emperor of
Japan, submitted to Mr. Witte a now
basis of compromise, and thai compro
mise, it, is firmly believed, will insure
peace.
The revelation contained In the an
nouncement that President Roosevelt
had already informed Emperor Nich
olas, through Ambassador Meyer, that
Japau -was ready to waive the question
of Indemnity and submit the price to
paid ror the northern half of Sa
khalin to the judgment of a mixed com
mission but prepared the way for Ja
pan's back down upon tho main Issue.
It had met with denials high and low.
It was declared to be impossible and
incredible. The Japanese declined to
admit it and tho Russians said they
had no confirmation. Mr. Witte Inti
mated strongly that St. Petersburg has
not apprised him to any such action by
tho President. There was even a dis
position to ridicule the Idea of arbitrat
ing tho pjlc(e of half of tho islands.
Nevertheless, on .ill hands It was ad
mitted If Japan took this position, tho
ground was cu*> out from under Czar
^jNicholas.
RESPONSIBILITY NOW RUSSIA'S
Mr. Witte, by consummate skill In
conceding all tho demands of Japan
involving the real issues of the war,
had manoeuvered hWf adversaries into
a position where, unless they abandon
ed the claim l'or indemnity, they could
be held responsible for continuing the
war for money.
The Japanese, by now forgoing the
demand fou- indemnity, practically turn
the tables upon Russia and shift the
burden back to her shoulders If she
does not consent to submit a minor i
issue to the impartial judgment of a
tribunal. '^Ir. Witte publicly, dissents
vigorously" from the proposition, and
their will still he a struggle with Pe
terhof, but if Japan agrees to formally
renounce all claims for direct or indi
rect compensation for the expenses of
the war tho big stumbling block to
peae?j Is out of the way.
s RUSSIAN WAR PARTLY ACTIVE.
Everything wili depend upon the
v form in which the proposed Is submit
ted. Shuld the renunciation be so cou
pled with the other . proposition that
Russia could claim it was still only a
disguised demand for tribute, the gulf
might only be narrowed, not bridged.
All the private advices that reach thOr
' Russian mission from St. Petersburg
indicate that military party is bellicose,*
insistent that Linevitch be ' given a
chanco, and actives In its insistence
thft negotiations be broken off.
Mr. Witte feels the pressure of this
?sentiment and as a man of ambition he
may not feel that he can afford .to lay
Xhlmself open to the charge that he is
temporizing with the situation. He has
.power under his instructions to reject
/out of hand any proposition Involving
the payment of a kopeck of tribute. "Ho
need not consult his imperial mater.
'.He la a man of Inspiration and he Is
quite capable, if the Japanese proposi
tion savors still of "blood money." to
'refuse even to accept It for transmis
sion to St. Petersburg.
But such a strike ts not expected. Mr.
Witte knows that public opinion, both
In America and Europe, as well as In
Russia, would condemn him if he broke
off the negotiations just as the way was
opened for a possible accord.

Now York City.? For the second time
since )?is arrival in this illy, A. l(<>y
Knabonabue treated Now Yorkers to n
view of a real airship soaring thou
sands of foot above tlioiu and re
sponding to the demands of the daring
.navigator in almost perfect fashion.
The exhibition was even more riajuyk
ablo than the previous oi>^ when
Knabenshuc sailed around iKi.onga<re
Square skyscraper. * :
Almost 10,000 persons pad gathered
near the lot at Slxty-secohd street and
(Yntfal Park u est long before the
hour foi' the start* and, after the ship
ascended, business in one of the busiest
sections of the city, from Fourteenth
to Seventy-second streets and from
Klghth avenue to the Kast Itivor, prac
tically was suspended.
The I net that an airship was sailing
over the city seemed to have a magic
elmmi. As it appeared in the xky fac
tories, stores, hotels and cars were
emptied, and every one stood still with
eyes turned toward the strange era ft.
lOvon Bellovue Hospital foil the thrill,
and as soon as the ship was sighicd at
tendants, surgeons and many patients
rushed for the street.
The police bad their hands full along
the entire lane of (light, and when the
craff finally was carried back to its
tout the general marvel was that no
one had been injured severely In the
many crushes.
Additional excitement was caused by
the announcement that Knabenshue
would throw' cheeks for $100 apiece
from his ship on tne voyage, lie scat
tered u mass of papers, and every
titue anything white descended there
was a mad scramble for possession,
instead of checks the crowd found
most of tne white sheets were pieces
of newspaper, and there was anger at
the manner in which the crowds had
been fooled.
It was a little after 2 p. in. that tho
airship was ready to go up. Knaben
shue stepped on the thin framework
attached to the balloon, tilted the nose
of .lho fhip upward and began to as
cend. The Craft left the lot gracefully,
responding to every movement of the
navigator, and in less than a minute it
had Cleared {lie fence and was sailing
over Central Park. A crowd of An, 000
watched the start, and a grpa* cheer
wont up as tho aeronaut Appeared.
The reserves from live precincts were
on hand to maintain order, but the tlrst
view of the ship caused the pflticcmen
to lose all interest in the crowd and de
vote their uttentlon to watching tho
flight. .
After going up about 1500 feet Kna
benshue started in a northerly direc
tion, heading against the wind. lie
went through several inaneuvrcs to
show the dirigibllity of Ills balloon;
then, turning around, he went south
east. As he started down town the
cheers that went<up were deafening.
As soou as the ship was sighted in
upper Broadway business and traffic
came practically to a standstill. Mo
tormen stopped their cars and Jumped
to the street to gfcjt a better view of the
strange craft. Passengers sprang from
their seats, and in a moment the tradi
tional hurry of New Yorkers wfrs for
gotten. ? No one seemed to care about
anything except the airship.
It was Knabenshue'* intention to cir
cle the Flatiron building, but because
of the strong wind he was unable to do
so. In his efforts to accomplish the
feat he rose to a*belght of 5000 feet,
until the big ship looked no bljiger than
the ordinary toy balloon. When he
gave up the attempt he turned north
at Twenty-third street and Third uve
nue. ? ,
The ship had descended to about 1000
feet Just before reaching Twenty-third
street, when the navigator slipped to
tho rear of the framework and tilted
its nose upward. It rose almost per
pendicularly, and to those in t lie street
It seemed the young man surely would
be killed. He remained in that posi
tion until the ship had descended about
3000 feet.. Then he headed back to
ward the starting, point.
? Reaching tho park, Knabenshue
steered tho ship over the trees to the
ball grouud. As he came down it
looked as If he would land on top of
the trees, but by deft manipulation he
guided his ship upward again until ho
had passed them. Then he descended
slowly aud gracefully to a knoll, on
which the ship landed.
A? it came down every one in the
street rushed for the ball ground. The
200 bluecoats who had been sent to
the park were helpUss units in the
sea of humanity. As Knabenshue de
scended he was greeted with round
after round of cheers, and men and
women fairly mobbed him in their ef
forts to shake his hands. Before the
police could interfere the crowd had
pushed the navigator back on the
framework of the ship. Then, lifting
it on their shoulders, they carried him
| In triumph back to the lot.

Newport, H. I.-Hat! If not been for
the perfect discipline on tho battleship
Ivearsurgo five men, the ci'ew of tlu\
two-masted schooner, N. S. Rnllut.
would have bene drowned when, In a
dense fog, the warship ripped a big
hole in the side of the smaller craft.
As it was, the men were all rescued
from the Water Jive miles ?mmI of Point
Judith, and the schooner, which ordin
arily would have sunk, was held on tho
surface while the carpenters and divers
from the Kearsarg? repaired her so
thoroughly that she" was able within a
few hours to proceed on lier wav. It
I was one of (he most unusual marine
t accident* over recorded.
The Kearsarge, one of the battleship
fleet of the North Atlantic .Squadron
commanded by Itcar-Admlral Evans,
had taken a short practice spin at sea
and when thy weather became bad the
Signal to run for Newport IJarlmr was
given. 1 he fleet proceeded under full
steam until the fog suddenly descend
ed, when the boats reduced lo half
speed.
The big horns and whistles of the
Kearsarge were kept at work, but the
fog was so thick that Captain John
Andrews, of the Hallut. who, with bis
Ron and three men, had been on a tlsh
lng cruise, could not locate the battle*
Ship. Captaiil Raymond ltodgers, of
the Kearsarge, as sfym as ho ?n w the
Schooner ahead, gave the order to re
verse. A moment later the steel prow
t)t the battleship cut through the port
aide of the Hallut.
Captain Rodgers gave the command
nt once to lower away all boats. The
warship's crew fairly, flew to the small
boats and had them oVer the side be
fore they stopped to see what had hap
,fJ found tho ltallut qulcklv
lillltig, listed badly to one side and in
imminent danger of sinking. Captain
Andrews and his son had been thrown
| Into the sea and the three other men
were struggling hear them. The small
boats picked them up within rt few mo
ments and carried them back to the
Ivearsarge.
CaptaU) Rodgers then ran his ship
alongside the sinking schooner and
swung his big steel cranes into action
They wero capable of lifting a dozen
times the weight of the schooner, and
when chains were passed under the
Hallut she was safe.
The divers and mechanics from the
warship then set to work. The latter
boarded the damaged vessel while she
hung suspended from the monster
cranes, and after the hold was pumped
out began to patch up the big hole
stove In the schooner's side by the bat
tleship's steel prow. The divers
worked from the outside, and In about
an hour the Hallut was ready to pro
ceeds her way.
In the meantime the rest of the bat
tleship fleet had proceeded to this city
to report the accident. The fog pre
vented Captain Rodgers from using
his wireless apparatus. The racing
crew of the Kenrsnrge had been pitted
to row a twelve-oared race with the
Hibernian Hoat Club, of Newport the
stake being $1000 a side. Captain
Rodgers was anxious for his men to
reach Newport ityy the race. Without
a word, however, the men went at the
work of standing by and repairing the
Hallut while the cranes hold her lit),
amVthere was not a murmur about the
puise w hicli might have been for
feited. '
When Admiral Evans reached here
with his other whips, 1-1,000 persons
lined the shores to see the cutter race
and the local crew was rcadv for the
contest. When Informed of 'the acci
dent. however. th?y gladly agreed to
the postponement of the race until the
next morning.
When the Kearsarge's divers report
ed her in good shape, Captain Andrews
and his crew returned to the Hallut
and set sail for Portriiouth, ?R. I.

history, tho other, the living Now
Wol'ld, typified by the young American
girl. It is not many yearn ago that
the Dowflgor Empress credibly was be
lieved fo have boon tlu; prime Instlga
tof of the Hoxor uprising; it at least is
certain she bitterly listed tho "foreign
devils," against whom the rising prln*
cipally was diroetod. Since tho march
of the allies to l'ckln, however, the
Kmpress has shown a more friendly
face toward Europeans. ami her special
invitation to Miss Roosevelt well may
have a significance that will win tho
occasion 11 placo 111 Chinese history at
a later date.
The old Kmpress Is a unique person
ality in tho world to day. More than
seventy years old, she has exorcised
prnetlenj sovereignty over the huge
Chinese empire for more than forty
years, and in such a masterful fashion
that slio ban mado her power felt not
only throughout the length and breadth
of hor own empire, but In all the chan
cellories of Kurope. Hhi? has been
compared alike to Queen Elizabeth of
Kngland and Catherine of Russia, and
it may be added that she always took
an almopt childish Interest in every
thing thttx conoerncd Queen Victoria,
keeping elaborate serapbooks tilled en
tirely with pictures and clippings con
cerned with the principal events of her
life. Yet this woman, who has shown
such a remarkable gift for governing,
wus not born to tho purple. She was
only one of the many secondary wives
of the Emperor, Hien Fung, but It was
her son who succeeded to the throne
at the age of five, r,nd through his long
minority she held the reigns of power.
The mysterious death of tho your.g
man shortly after lie Attained his ma
jority und-assumod authority Is only
one of the many crimes that have
been laid at the door of tho Kmpress.
It Is the contrast between such a char
acter and such a career as that of Tsl
An- and the natural environment and
personality of an. American girl like
Miss Itoosevelt that will go to make
the meeting, between Jjte two so in
tensely picturesque.
MORl'f BURTON CHARGES.
Assertion That the Kansas Senator
Practiced Otlior Frauds.
Washington, I). C. ? The puhiication
Qf the charts against Senator Uurton
of taking foes from the Chickasaw In
dians while he wiis 'Senator mtIoosN>
the tongues of high oliiclals In the In
terior Department, and two other se
rious chavgcs came out. One Is that
Burton never made any appearance
in business for the Chickasaws before
the Interior Department, but (IVat he
represented to the head men. of the
tribe that lie did, and collected large
fees from them for his alleged service*.
Burton, before lie became Senior,
represented to Secretary Hitchcock, it
is said, that he had been selected by
the Chickasaws as their counsel, and
asked him, as Secretary of the Inter
ior. to approve his contract with the
tribe. Mr. Illtchcoek refused to do
so on the ground that the Chickasaws
did not need an attorney. Notwith
standing this rebuff Burton, it is
charged, maile 1 lie Indians think lie
was looking after thelr'lnt^rests, and
proceeded to collect Ills pay from their
funds, which were not under the con
trol of the Secretary of the Interior.
Another charge against the Kansan
Is that while he was Senator he pre
sented a clalnr^from a ranchman in
Textos to the eflfcct that the man lost
800 cattle during a tight between Uni
ted States forces and ??Comanche In
dians, which took place on his ranch.
The/amount claimed was $2."?,00O, for
whleff'^ljnrtou succeeded in getting
jndgmgat in favor of hia client,
A ndniber of men who lived In tha.
vicinity are said to have -reported to
the department that while there was a
tight the claimant never hid 800 cat
tle. but had at the time about eighty,
nnd they were fully 200 miles away
from the scene of the fight.

STORES IN WESTERN TOWNS.
Efroct of tlio Wheat Craze nnd rros
perlty.
Kansas City, Mo.tr-Iu the small
tow ii h new storra are belug opened
everywhere. For several years im
provements linve been chiefly confined
to residences and repairs to buildings.
Empty houses were filled, nnd ^unoc
cupied fjtoretP began 1 6 have tenants.
Now there is scarcely- an empty store
building, and many new structures
are seen In almost every village. 6ome
little towns in the wheat belt have
added a dozen store rooms, to
! capacity this year. ThiS means a great:
denl of niWltional tiode. andis tboJieflfc-..
index of the effect of generous returns
from the fields. ^
In the furnishing of their homes the
farmers are also ma king' "great' strides."
Common furniture of the vacnished oak*"
variety is not Rood enough for the av
crnKo farm house these days. Tho
plush parlor suite is a drug oil the
market. Coins Into a farm house 200
miles west of here the other day, a vis
itor found it fitted out with mission
furniture, with Flemish oak bookcases
and Remington pMures on the wall.
It was typical of the tendency toward
be] tor taste- In adornment. This indi
cates a new ora In buslness^'for It
calls for a higher standard of supply in
