CHICAGO,. Aug. 31. The acute staga

TOKIO, Aug. 31. No official action
has been atken concerning the armis
tice and it is not clear whether the
conferees at 1 ortsmouth wtii arange
the details or refer the matter to their
respective governments. It is believed
here that : the armistice will be speed
ily concluded, though it is doubted
that any danger exists in the interim
of clashes in the field, for the reason
that both the Japanese and Russian
commanders have been apprised of the
progress of the Portsmouth conference.
The attitude of the Japanese govern
ment indicates no immediate intention
to issue a formal statement relating
to the result of the conference. - -
Premier Katsura and ' Marquis Ito
are the recipients ol numerous protests
and editorials againsLjhe provisions
of the . settlement given in the hews
papers.. - The - Morozu Sbimbun, an in

the peace pact, opening the criticism
with the words "Arise, brethren." It
reviews the agitation for arepesenta
live government with the power of
treaty revision and recalls an attempt
to asHassinate Okuma, saying "the peo
ple never remained quiet when the na

St. Petersburg, Aug. 31. Judg

lie is unable to reconcile itself to the
loss of territory, however insignificant.
The national pride seems offended by
the cessation of a part of Sakhalin.

Japanese Hoped for Bnpture.
Tokio, Aug. 31. The remarkable ab
sence of rejoicing is most striking at
tendant upon the receipt of then'ews
of the conclusion of peace. The kind
of reception that awaits definite news
will depend entirely upon the nature
of the terras. It is generally feared
that extensive concessions have been
made by Japan. It has been general
ly expected by the public and hoped
there would be a rupture at Portsmouth
in view of what was termed Russia's
obduracy In refusing the payment of
indemnity. The papers are generally
angry and say tnat peace obtained
upon the terms reported to be' a "hu
miliating one."

interviewed at Portsmouth by a corre
spondent of the blovo, said: "Yoa

Several bridges in the east portion
of the city have been closed to travel
because of their dilapidated and un
safe condition and many complaints
are being made by the residents of
that- section on account of the great
inconvenience' caused by the closed
thoroughfares. The bridge spanning
the mill- race on Twenty-first-street,
just south. of stte, has been Closed for
more than two weeks, and so far no
steps have been taken looking toward
the repair or rebuilding of the struc
ture. .One end of the bridge gave way
under a load of wood, but fortunately
the driver escaped being hurt, and no
serious damage was done to the team
or wagon,' Street Commissioner- Kurtz
examined the bridge with a view of
making repairs, but - found that the
timbers were rotten to the core, and
the structure was then left with tae
planks torn up for a considerable dis
tance and is still in that condition.
Private parties, however, bridged, the
gap with a few plank in order to ac
commodate pedestrians. ' ;
The bridge spanning the, mill race
on Fifteenth1 street, south of state, is
also closed to travel, and no repairs are
in progress. "' The foott bridge at this
point is also torn' up and pedestrians
as well as teams are compelled to go
several blocks out of their way to
cross from Ferry to State street, or
vice .versa. The only bridge to ac
commodate travel aeross tne mill race
between Fourteenth and Twenty-fifth
streets is that on .Nineteenth street,
and even this is in 'a dilapidated condi
tion. ' ' : I -
Another bridge closed, to. travel is
the one spanning North 'Mill creek on
Eighteenth street. And besides those
mentioned there are a number of oth
ers in East Salem that are ia extreme
ly bad repair and in need of prompt
attention. .

BUTT. Mont.. Aue. 20. Sheriff
Matt .W. Stewart of Lemhi county,
Idaho, is in Monlana to secure Charles
K. Bloom, who is charger in his state
with the murder of John Strom. Tho
Lrrime is one of the most cold -blooded
ever committed in Idaho, and, while
the evidence against Bloom . is wholly
circumstantial, Sheriff Stewart believes
it is strong enough to convict the sus
pected man.. Bloom and Strom for
merly lived in the neighborhood of
Junction, Idaho, and were the best f
friends.
Shortly 'before the muroer Strom
sold, some mining property and was
paid 11,000 in cash on the deal. With
a portion of this money he bought a
team of horses and a camping outfit
and started for southern Utah. . It is
known that before- Strom started he
met BIoom .at Junction and the two
quarreled. It is also known that Bloom
started on foot in the direction Strom
had taken the previous morning.
The murder was committed In camp
about eighteen miles from Junction on
the night of July 11 last. There was
evidence of a terrible struggle around

stolen. In an envelMs in some brush
