Portsmouth, N. H ., Aug. 16. — The
crisis in the peace negotiations upon
which the eyes of the world are fastened
is approaching rapidly, and the end of
this week or the first of next, at the
latest, should witness the deadlock and
the end, if the conference is to go to
pieces.
Two more of the 12 articles,
Nos. 4 and 6, were disposed of yester
day.
Article 4 consists of mutual
pledges to observe the integrity of
China and the policy of the “ open
door” for the commerce of all nations,
and article 6 covers the surrender of
the Russian leases of the Liao Tung
peninsula, Port Arthur, Dalny and the
Blond and Ellfott islands.
To article 4 both parties gave ready
assent and the official statement of the
adoption of that article took care to
state that it was agreed to “ unani
mously.”
Article 5, the consideration
of which was passed until later, pro
vides for the cession of the island of
Sakhalin. Discussion appearing just
at this stage on account of the firm
negative given in the Russian reply, it
was decided upon the motion of the
Japanese to defer its discussion, thus
revealing the Japanese intention of
postponing to the end the life and
death struggle.
This is the usual procedure followed
in diplomatic negotiations, enabling
the negotiators to come to an accord
upon all possible points before tackling
the cruical issues, and the fact that
the Russians acquiesced in the propo
sition shows that they too are as care
ful and as anxious as are the Japanese
that the world should not accuse them
of being responsible for precipitating
the break, if break there is to be, and
wrecking the conference.

MAKING PROGRESS
Peace Conference Agrees Upon
Terms on Three Points.
HARD NUTS ARE ÏET TO CRACK
Both Russia and Japan to
Evacuate
Manchuria and Respect T erri
torial Integrity o f China.
Portsmouth, Aug. 15. — Although
very rapid progress was made with the
peace negotiations yesterday, three of
the 12 articles which constitute the
Japanese conditions of peace having
been agreed to by Mr. W itte and Baron
Rosen on behalf oi Russia, neither of
the two articles to which Mr. W itte in
his reply returned an absolute negative
was reached. The crisis, therefore, is
still to come. It may be reached to
day, as the cession of Sakhalin comes
fifth in the list.
The three “ articles
found,” as they are officially designat
ed in the brief communications author
ized to be given to the press, which
were disposed of yesterday, are in sub
stance as follows:
First— Russia’s recognition of Ja
pan’ s “ preponderating influence” and
special position in Corea, which Russia
henceforth agrees is outside of her
sphere of influence, Japan binding her
self to recognize the suzeranity of the
reigning family, but with the right to
give advice and assistnace to improve
the civil administration of the empire.
Second— Mutual obligation to evacu
ate Manchuria, each to surrender all
special privileges in that province, mu
tual obligation to respect the “ territo
rial integrity” of China and to main
tain the principle of equal rights of fall
nations to that province (the open
door).
Third— The cession to China of the
Chinese Eastern railway from Harbin
southward.
There was never any question about
the acceptance on the part of Mr. W itte
of these articles, the first two covering
in more emphatic form the contention
of Japan in the diplomatic struggle
which preceded hostilities.

Many New Cases and Rapid Spread
Due to Bad Water.
Washington, Aug. 15.— Twenty-nine
new cases of typhoid fever and two
deaths from the disease were reported
to the health officers today. The out
break has passed in severity that of
1903, when the greatest number of per
sons under treatment for the disease at
any one time was 224, and it had

Citizens of Principal Cities Turn Out
En Masse with National Colors.
Chrisitana, Norway, Aug. 15. — The
Norwegian people, in a referendum
vote, have pronounced in favor of the
dissolution of the union with Sweden
with remarkable, though not unex
pected, unanimity. Of 450,000 voters,
320,000 cast ballots.
W hile the full
result w ill not be known for some time,
up to midnight returns show that about
one person in 3,000 voted against disso
lution.
The difference between the
total number of voters and the number
of votes cast is attributable to absent
ees, such as sailors abroad and others
who are out of the country at present.
There were scenes of the greatest en-
tbusiasm everywhere.
Thousands of
women who did not have the right of
franchise signed petitions in the stieets
indorsing the dissolution. In Christ
iana and other towns, the entire popu
lation turned out, every one wearing
long streamers of the national colors
and pitures of Premier Michelsen.
One of the members of the cabinet
said to the Associated Press:
“ The result surpasses the most san
guine expectations. The next official
steps w ill be taken after the storthing
meets, August 21, when the result of
the vote w ill be communicated to the
Swedish government.
The storthing
w ill repeat the request that the riks
dag declare the riksakt in operation
and the union dissolved.
"T h e storthing w ill also express a
willingness to negotiate concerning the
details of the dissolution.
“ It is the earnest desire of Norway
to conclude the dissolution amicably.
Norway will never retract, but every
thing will be done to meet the wishes
of Sweden in other directions.
“ If peace depends upon abolishing
the forts they w ill be abolished. Nor
way must remain a monarchy.
The
people do not desire a republic.”

Private Car Takes Roundabout Way
on Return from Chautauqua.
New York, Aug. 15.— That the Erie
railroad fully arranged for the safety of
President Roosevelt on his way from
Chautauqua to Jersey City on Saturday
is shown by the fact that the presi
dent’s car did not come in over the
main line. Instead, the Chautauqua
special was broken in two at Suffren,
N. Y ., and the presidential party was
brought in by a roundabout way over
two small branch roads.
President Roosevelt is said to have
objected to the unusual precautions
taken, but acquiesced when positive
orders from President Underwood of
the Erie were shown him. These or
ders were issued as the result of a letter
received by the Paterson police which
said there was a plot to blow up the
president’s train near Ridgewood, N. J.
The Chautauqua special was stopped
at Suffren early Saturday morning.
There was a consultation of railroad
men, at which it was decided to send
the president to Sparkill, a small town
on the Hudson, three miles below
Nyack, by a little singe-track road,
known as the Piermont branch and
thence into Jsrsey City on the Northern
railroad, a branch having its terminals
at Nyack President Roosevelt was
awakened and told of the change in the
schedule, as the officials did not like
to take the responsibility without his
consent.
The president, after some
discussion, said that he was “ in the
hands of the E rie,” and while he had
no fear of his train being wrecked on
the main line, he would do what the
railway men thought best.
Slow time
was made over the Piermont branch,
and the Northern railway, and extra
men guarded every part of both roads.

European Capital Secured to Explore

Oregon City — F. Hendricks, deputy
fire warden, discovered J. R. Hunt, A.
M. Lull and D. O. Leavens, of W illam
ette, burning slashing for which no
permit had been procured of the county
clerk.
The men appeared before the
acting deputy district attorney and
pleaded ignorance of the amended law
with the provisions of which the peo
ple of this county are not acquainted.
Agreeing to immediately obtain the
required permit the men were not pros
ecuted.
Mr. Hendricks is patrolling the en
tire county and posting notices warning
settlers against the miscellaneous start
ing of fires.
In order to get around
the objectionable feature of the law
which requires a permit to be obtained
ten days prior to the time the fire is to
be started, the same to be burned only
three days, a great many farmers are
renewing their applications for per
mits every three days, thus giving
them practically indefinite time in
which to wait for favorable weather.
Otherwise, the weather during the
three days covered in the original ap
plication on which
the permit is
granted being unfavorable, the settler
must experience a further delay of at
least ten days intervening between the
issuance of the permit and the starting
of the fire authorized thereby.

Fined fo r Illegal Liquor Selling.
Oregon City— Mr. and Mrs. A . Corri

of a saloon at Estacada, were found
guilty of selling liquor without a mu

Cunningham paid his tine, but Corri

ants contend that under the provisions
of a license obtained from the County
court last April they were regularly
licensed to sell liquors, but the Esta
cada city charter provides that the
state law shall not apply in the licens

This provision of the charter became
operative January 31, and the city’ s
