Portsmouth, Aug. 26. It is believ
ed three special propositions are em
bodied In Russia's anHwer presented
to Japan this afternoon.
Tne reiteration of the determina
tion not to pay cash under any cir
cumstances; refusal to purchase half
of Saghalien; willingness to rein
burae Japan for the care of prisoner
and other reasonable charges.
It Ik believed Jnpan will except,
but it Is not likely she will break off
negotiations. It is thought Japan in
her answer will find some reason for
continuing the conference.
The two governments are undouht-
erly nearer than when they last ad
Journed.
It Is believed Russia will become
reconciled to the loss of Saghalien
and her present aim seems to be con
centrated upon beating down the
Japanese demands for cash.
Short SchhIoii Probable) Today.
Portmouth, Aug. 26. The peace
envoys and members of tholr BtaffB
wero up early this morning receiving
and sending the final messages of
their governments preparatory to the
meeting today.
Russia's answer to Japan's lost
proposition is likely to be presented.
The session Is expected to be a short
one. Tho Japunese commissioners
will receive the Russian answer and
then propose an adjournment till next
week, probably Tuesday, to allow time
for transmission to Toklo.
Both. Sides Muffing.
Wltto said. Just after noon:
"All depends upon Japan and
whether she will make concessions. I
do not anticipate any favorable result
from today's meeting, and am anxious
to get away."
Sato, when Informed of Wlttc's
statement, said: "All right. We can
act accordingly, then." It Is feared
.Japan may call Russia's bluff by
breaking off tho negotiations.
Humored Treaty of Peace.
ndnn, Aug. 26. A dispatch from
Moscow says a rumor prevails on ex
change that treaty of peace has been
signed.
Anglo-Japanese Treaty.
London, Aug. 28. The Associated
Press has good reason for stating that
a new Anglo-Japanese treaty of alli
ance may have been signed. The (or
elgn office declines to give official
confirmation or denial but the Asso
ciated Press understands that the
treaty was signed some days ago,
There Is no reason why It should not
be signed prior to conclusion of the
Portsmouth conference, as the nction
of thnt conference will not effect his
terms.
The new treaty Is broader In scope
in some respeets than the formor
treaty, notably where It recognizes

the protectorate by Japan over Korea
and on other points which it was not
necessury to Include in the old theaty.
In other respects the new treaty
contains limitations as compared with
tho old treaty. For Instance, the lat
ter contained a clause to the effect
that, "In rase of a combination of
powers against Great Britain," Jupan
would be obliged to assist her ally,
while the clause In the new treaty
only reaulres tho assistance of Japan
so far as British colonies In the far
east and Pacific are concerned."
The Associated Press understands
that the terms of the new treaty were
fully ugreed upon before parllnient
adjourned, but It was also agreed that
the official announcement of its sig
nature should be deferred until after
the conclusion of the Portsmouth
conference.
Russia Will Offer Compromise.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 26. The state
ment was made today at tho foreign
offlco that the government entirely
agrees with Wltto that a compromise

question now Is whether Japan will
reduce her demand for money. It Is
believed hero peace Is cortaln to be
concluded.

DAVIS GIVES
At 2 o'clock this afternoon Davis appeared before Justice Fltx
Gerald and through his attorneys waived examination. Thereupon
the judge announced that $2,000 ball would be required of Davis In
order to secure his freedom. To this District Attorney Phelps hotly
objected, suylng that he did not consider the sum sufficient for a
case involving $10,000. Also, he asserted that It was the custom of
courts to consult the prosecuting officer before bajl was fixed, or at
least to allow him to be heard, and that this had not been done In
tho case at hand. However, Judge Fltz Gerald stood by his action,
and the bond was prepared. It wassigned by Nellie J. Davis. John
E. Beam, Charles Cunningham and J. H. Armstrong. The first two
justified for one-half of ths amount, and the latter two for the en
tire Bum.
It Is possible that District Attorney Phelps1 may yet file informa
tion against Davis In the circuit court direct, and thus cause a new
bond to be given.

The matter of the shortage in the
sheriffs office has now become the
case of the State of Oregon vs. C P.
Davis, and the legal battle which Is tO
decide the fate of the ex-chief deputy
Is now on. '
About & o'clock last evening a com
plaint charging Davis with larceny of
the sum of $10,000 was made before
Justice of the Peace Fltz Gerald by
William Hlukely and T. D. Taylor. A
warrant was then made out fer the
arrest of the accused man and given
to the sheriff to serve. Mr. Davis ar
rived home last evening from Port
land on tlie delayed No. 2, reaching
here about 7 o'clock. On reaching
here he alighted on the south side of
the train and proceeded bemeward
without being observed by those who
were gathered at the depot. How
ever, it was learned during the eve
ning that he had returned and would
be on hand today to fight hie case.
This morning the warrant was
quietly served on Davis, and he was
told by tho district attorney to appear
at the Jusitce's court at 10 o'clock
However, It was about 10:30 when the
attorneys In the case, the defendant.
District Attorney Phelps and the two
complainants gathered In the above
room. Before court had been called
to order It was agreed to postpone
the matter until 2 o'clock this after
noon when Judge Fee stated the de
fense would be ready to proceed with
tho examination. To this the district
ottorney replied that he was satisfied
with that hour, but that the mean-
Ime he might file Information against
Davis In tho circuit court direct, and
thus avoid an examination.
Aside from the arrest of Davis and
the proceedings In court there has
been little that Is new developed in
the situation today. This forenoon or
last evening, the books which the ex-

subject came In for some attention.
Today District Attorney Phelps an

Experts Buehanen and Beckwith '

Opposed to the Transfer.
Shall the reclamation office and
headquarters for Oregon, which have
been here for two years past, be
moved to Portland" There is a
strong probability that such will be
done, unless steps are taken by east
ern Oregon people to prevent it.
Since the adjournment of the recent
irrigation congress it has been learn
ed that such action is being contem
plated, and according to Mr. Whist
ler the change will probably be made
this fall. The removal is said to be
desired by D. ". Heniiy, consulting
engineer, who is to lie placed in
charge of the work in the northwest.
However, the change has not yet been
definitely agreed upon, for it is said
that chief engineer Newell has not
yet acted In the matter.
As to the reasons for tne proposed
ivniovai mere is noining Known ex
cepting that Is is the personal wish
of Mr. Henny. According to accounts
he is to be placed In charge of all the
work In the northwest and desires to
have his office in Portland. Why he
should wish Ills headquarters there
when nil of the reclamation work that
Is proposed is east of tlie mountains.
Is not known.
Since the work of tlie reclamation
service started the headquarters for
Oregon have been here, and the dozen
or more men of the service have been
stationed here or In the field. This
place has been very convenient for
headquarters because of the fact that
nearly all of the work has been on
the Umatilla and Malheur projects.
All of the nienibeis of tlie Oregon
force huve been engaged on these
projects or adjoining ones excepting
one man who has been engaged in
stream gauging in Central Oregon.
With the office here they have been
able to come and ro with almost no
loss of time and hut little expense.
However, should the headquarters be
Placed In Portland they would have
to travel over 250 miles to reach the
