Another massacre of Jewa, marked by atrocities worthy of savages, has occurred in Blallstok, about 50 miles southwest of Grodno. Little Is known outside of Russia of this slaughter, while even In Russia Itself few people know of Its horrors. The official report minimizes it as usual, merely stating that a party of Jews at Blallstok threw a bomb which killed aome soldiers, whereupon the troops fired In self-defense, and that "during the pcuffie" 40 Jewa were killed and 180 wounded. But reports from a correspondent say trustworthy eye-witnesses draw a san guinary picture. Blallstok lies near the Junction of the St. Petersburg-Warsaw and Koenlgsberg-Odessa railroads, and many troops are quartered there- The town has 65,000 Inhabitants, three-quarters of them Jews. Some Jewish work ingmen were arrested there three weeks ago and treated with exceptional bru tality by the soldiers and policemen, whose offlcers threatened openly that they would crush the Jewish population and "teach the Jews a lesson." m A small gathering of Jews, possibly So cialists, but not authorized by the Social ist party to act, ordered that the brutal iroatmpnt of their arrested coreligionists be avenged. The persons picked to do this work threw a bomb on AUgUBt u. among some soldiers, of whom three were killed, while a dozen worklngmen were irniindd. snmp fatallv.

TAGGART WORN OUT Absent From Court When Husband's Cousin Is on Grill. WOOSTER. O.. Aug. 26, (Special.) Al most worn out by the long ordeal, Mrs. Taggart has been absent from the court room for the past two days, leaving every thing to her lawyers. Captain Taggart Is at his post every session and seems to show no signs of fatigue, although his face shows some sign of the constant care and watchfulness he has given to the pro ceedings, scrutinizing every question and answer and pointing out to his attorney the principal points in testimony for the defense which they have overlooked. It was the Intention to have Mrs. Taggart follow Billy Taggart on the stand today. but as only an hour remained before the time to adjourn, her attorneys decided to take up the time with other witnesses and leave Mrs. Taggart to take the stand Monday morning. The cross-examination of Billy Taggart occupied most of the morning session. He was asked many questions by At torney Sterling. His replies were gen erally indefinite or evasive. The ob Ject of the attorney was evidently to show that the witness had received money from Mrs. Taggart. Asked if it was not a fact that he had received on May 31, 1900, a New York draft from Mrs. Taggart, he said "No sir." He Insisted that he had not received another draft on the same day from Mrs. Taggart. but finally ex plained that he did get two drafts amounting to 3100 about this time. that the drafts came from Mr. Hurl burt of Chicago, Mrs. Taggart's fin an clal agent, and that he had received the money to pay bills Mrs. Taggart owed In Oroville. He was asked if Mrs. Taggart was not fond of him at this time, and If he did not think a great deal of her. "I think not," was his answer.

"I fell no III effects from It and it is difficult to realize that the vital portion of my anatomy has f-wltchcd Itself. I expect my friends to Jolly me about It when they find it out, but as long as the organ conscientiously per forms Its functions I do not ace that have any cause for complaint." The heart Is now six inches from its normal position. Physiclam do not con ider It dangrUC. MTTE HOLDS OUT CZAR'S ANSWER (Continue from First Pare.) attitude maintained by Mr. Wltte and Baron Rosen. It should not be understood that the Japanese have throughout been entirely In accord with the President. At times they. too. have sorely tried his patience, by sticking out for certain de mands which were unreasonable on their face. But as one who Is able to speak with authority says: 'The Russians have been ten times as unreasonable as the Japanese and. If the negotiations fall, ten times as much blame should be attached to the Russians as to the Japanese." It may be said that the President is still hopeful of bringing the envoys to an agreement, but he Is not nearly so opti mistic as he was a week ago. He Is still hopeful that Japan will agree to some further concessions, not because she is not entitled to what she has demanded, but because a continuance of the war, even with continued victories and a large Indemnity in the future, would not repay her for the sacrifice of blood that a re sumption of hostilities would entail. KAISER DEFENDS HIMSELF. Says Ho Always Advocated Peace and Backs Roosevelt. BERLIN, Aug-. 26. The Associated Press today received the following communication from the Foreign Of fice: "The Foreign Office empowers the Associated Press to declare that all reports of the opposition of the Em peror to the mediation of President Roosevelt are absurd. The Emperor regards the endeavors of the President with admiration, and takes the great est Interest In the success of the labors for peace, In whose beginning the Em peror personally assisted." BERLIN, Aug. 26. The Chancellor, Prince von Buelow, telegraphed to the As sociated Press from Norderney today a statement In response to an Inquiry as to Germany's attitude toward the efforts be ing made to bring about peace between Russia and Japan. The telegram reads as follows: "Since the beginning of President Roose velt's action the German Emperor, as well as his government, have never ceased to advocate the cause of peace wherever an opportunity offered Itself. Germany Is In terested as well as America In putting an end to the risks and uncertainties Insep arable from cverr great war. The Em peror and the German people cordially wish that President Roosevelt's efforts may be successful." FRENCH BANKERS OPPOSE WAR Officials in Paris Think Russians Cannot Raise Money. PARIS, Aug. 26. Premier Rquvler had a long talk at the Foreign Office today with M. Jusserand, Ambassador to the United States. Its nature has not been disclosed. It is probable that It related to American affairs and to the general status of the negotiations at Portsmouth. Information from officials at St. Petersburg shows that Ambassador Meyer's meeting with the Emperor lasted only ten minutes. The brevity of the meeting Is looked upon as an unfavorable sign. Nevertheless, gov ernment circles believe that Russia's Inability to raise more money for war purposes will prove a decisive factor In compelling the conclusion of peace Since the French bankers recently refused a new loan on account of the uncertainties of war, their attitude has become more uncompromising against a prolongation of this struggle. This is due to the dangers of depression in the enormous French holdings of Rus sian securities should the war go on indefinitely. The Bourse today became sensitive over unfavorable reports from Ports mouth, Russian fours declining 1 cen time. The market closed weak, ow ing to the depression In Russian se curities. DARE NOT FACE PUBLIC VIEWS Publication of Roosevelt's Proposi tion Would Force Envoys to Aree. PORTSMOUTH. N. H.. Aug. 26. In an authoritative quarter It Is learnea tonight that the latest suggestions of fered to the Emperors of the two war ring powers as to an amicable adjust ment of their differences also were communicated simultaneously to the envoys of Russia and Japan. This ac tlon on the part of the President was taken in order that no possible ground for offense could be taken by the plenipotentiaries because of his direct appeal to the Emperors. While the terms suggested by the President are not disclosed, It Is known that they were framed on broad humanitarian lines. It Is permissible to say, in the words of the authority referred to: "If the civilized world could know at this time the precise nature of the propositions made to Russia and Japan by President Roosevelt, it would seem that the force of the public opinion of the world would induce the plenipo tentiaries and their governments to pause and consider seriously the re sults before breaking off finally the present conference without an agree ment. Indeed, they might scarcely dare face the world's opinion by refusing to accept, in principle at least, the sug gestions offered by the President." SHAW PREDICTS AGREEMENT Cabinet Official Very Optimistic of Outcome of Conference. CHICAGO, Aug. 26. Success of the peace negotiations now In progress at Portsmouth was predicted today by Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who discussed the negotiations unofficially from the most optimistic point of view and declared that he believed the struggle between Japan and Russia would be brought to an end before the envoys left this country. The Secre tary added: "I do not want to be understood as expressing an official opinion, for I am not in the position to do so. My opin ion Is based upon Information which has reached roe and Is upon a knowl edge of the high character of the en voys and also upon the knowledge that sentiment throughout the world Is greatly In favor of peace." QUESTION OF HONOR TO JAPAN Possession of Sakhalin Would Wipe Stain Off Scutcheon. TOKIO, Aug. 26. (Special.) In com menting on the demand by Japan that Russia cede to It Sakhalin, the J1J1 Shim po says: "Nothing could be more repugnant than the thought of our surrendering theisl and. Its loss 90 years ago is a distinct flaw In the golden vessel of the empire's existence. The nation feela that, in case It recovers the island, something will have 1mb tUlnd that may be laid with xrat- ificatlon upon the ancestral tombs. This Is. not a question that is either large or small It Is a question of honor. The possession of Sakhalin Island accom plishes this It means that Vladivostok Is deprived of half its value as a naval port, and Russia's aggressive potentialities are checked. If not completely destroyed." HUNGRY NATION CAN'T FIGHT Czar Realizes Russia's Distress and Becomes More Tractable. CHICAGO. Aug. 25. (Special.) The correspondent of the Dally News at St. Petersburg says: The alarming situation In the Interior of Russia tends to make the Czar tract able.

Prince Lyoff, after having been received In au dience by tho Czar, said to your cor respondent today: "The latest Interior troubles have great ly affected the Emperor. He realizes the difficulty of continuing the war while the country is filled with discontent. The Douma ukase has proved unsatisfactory and larger concessions are demanded, while famine affects the people of 24 provinces and they require Immediate re lief. I have received 1,000,000 roubles (J510.000) for this- work and more Is presslngly needed, for our treasury 13 empty. "These weighty considerations are turn ing the scale In the direction of peace.

Tli Inks Japan Needs the Money. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 26. The Russ says: "It Is self-evident that Japan Is greatly In need of money. and that she will not be able to con tlnue the war without it. but Russia has no reason to pay an indemnity di rectly or indirectly, and will not do so, It may be that President Roosevelt will be able to find an outlet from the impasse. Americans can work miracles In matters of finance." The Novoe Vremya says: "Cannot the fortunes of war come our way Wo have learned something In the last 18 months and have strengthened our army and Improved Its equipment.

That lias Hith erto Existed Will Give Place to Harmony In Making People Pay. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 26. (Special.) The Standard Oil Company has formed an alliance in California with the Union Oil Company, Its great rival In this state. As a result, seven-eighths of the oil land In the state Is In the hands of the trust. As California producers already own more oil land than any state In the Union, and as her extensive petroleum fields have been only scratched, the far-reaching Im port of this move Is apparent. The Associated Oil Company Is a branch of the Standard, and It was through the Associated that the deal was made. The Union and the Associated will henceforth co-operate. That means a world-wide deal, so to speak, as both the Union and Associated are reaching out for trade in South America and the Orient. According to reports, neither company will lose Its Identity. Each will retain Its own property and manage Its busi ness, but there will be harmony Instead of the fierce competition hitherto exist ing. There Is every reason to believe that the Union will never consent to the loss of Its Identity or part with any part of Its property. Its officers have again and again so declared, both In official papers and private conversations. As the Union has between Lo.COO and 200,000 acres of oil lands, approximately four-fifths of the entire territory In the state, refineries at San Francisco and Ba- kerafleld. pipe lines from the Santa Maria fields to Port Harford, and from tne fui lerton. OUnda and Whlttier districts to San Pedro, large tankage at principal ports on the Coast and ships to enable it to reach many points Independent of the rail roads.
