C, THrBSDAY, AUGUST  24, 190S\nRUSSIA IS\nOBDURATE\nReiterates Any Form of\nIndemnity is Utterly\nImpossible\nSt. Petersburg May However Concede Any\nor All Other Terms Even Including\nthe Session of Sakhalin\nSt. Petersburg, Aug. 23.\u2014The Associated Press has the best ot reasons aad\nauthority for declaring again with increasing emphasis, that Russia will\nnever consent to the payment of an\nindemnity to Japan. The payment\nwould so greatly menace the vital Interests of the state as to make this article in the Japanese terms utterly impossible of acceptance. Furthermore,\nthe Associated Press has the same reasons for the declaration that If Japan\nwithdrew her Indemnity demand peace\nwould practically be assuerd as the Russian attitude on the three other points,\nincluding the cession of Sakhalin, does\nnot preclude the possibility of reaching\na satisfactory settlement on these\npoints.\nIndemnity Is the crux of the whole\nmatter. If this question can be arranged, It is believed here that all other\nQuestions on which there has been a\ndifference of opinion will practically\nsettle themselves.\nIn view of the known Russian attitude on the other eight points, Russia\nbelieves that Japan's insistence on indemnity is the only thing that will\nmake peace impossible. Officials declare that attempts at word Juggling\nsuch as calling Indemnity by some\nother name, or attempting to collect indemnity under the guise of other payments, will avail nothing. Russia, they\nsay wilt not conclude a peace treaty\nat Portsmouth which Includes the payment of indemnity or other Suanclal\ncontributions. Russia Is ready, however, to make a reasonable and proper\npaymeut for the maintenance of the\nRussian prisoners In the hands of the\nJapanese.\nThis has been the attitude of the foreign office since the four points ln dispute were referred to St. Petersburg\nfrom Portsmouth, and It is the true\nexpression of Russian official and public opinion. Since the beglnitig of the\ndiscussion here on Japan's original\nterms, there has been absolutely nothing to suggest that itussia could or\nwould pay indemnity. Each day has\nsharpened the conviction that such a\npayment ls Impossible. Russians recognize the serious Internal conditions\nof the country but they declare these,\nconditions will never force the payment\nof an Indemnity, dishonorable In Itself,\nand which would most seriously menace the very lite of the state.\nALL AT WORK.\nCoal Mines Once More Busy\u2014Bush Fire\n(Bpeclal to Tne Dally Newa)\nFernie, Aug. 23.\u2014The men all went\nto work as usual this morulng at the\nCoal Creek mines, They ail expressed\nthemselves as pleased that the differences between them and the company\nhau been settled.

Superior Junction, have been awarded to the National Construction Company.\nThis corporation Is composed of leading' Canadian capitalists, and it is to\nthis company that all the tenders which\nthe Grand Trunk Pacillc Company are\nnow calling for, will bo addressed. The\nlarge railways in this country have all\nadopted this method of allotting construction work, and It will' he remembered that sir William Van Home made\nhis first appearance before the public\neye of Canada as manager of the North\nAmerican Construction Company, which\nwas formed to build the Canadian Pacillc railway.\nSpecification for the ilrst 100 miles\nof the lake Superior branch of the G.\nT.

A. Young, commissioner of the\nGrand Trunk Pacific on the government\nsection of the line from Moncton to\nWinnipeg, says: \"The work of location is being pushed forward as rapidly\nas possible, and we hope to be in a position to begin construction from Winnipeg eastward before spring, Reports\nso far from the engineers have been\nfavorable, and would Indicate that the\nline will open up a vast area of good\nfarming country. It Is the Intention\nto rush construction to Thunder Bay\nJunction so as to get to the lakes as\nquickly as possible, fn order to take\ncare of freight originating on the prairie section of the Grand Trunk Pacific.

Now he has\ncarried his appeal, too, which can be said\nto have the positive support of the great\nneutral powers.\nIt was stated late tonight that Japan\nhus porposed to Russia that the question\nof indemnity for war expenses be practically waived, and that Russia agree to\npurchase a portion of Sakhalin for iiiOt),-\n000,000. It js belioved that one part of the\nproposition submitted to buron Rosmi by\ntlie president was that Russia should purchase possession of Sakhalin either in part\nor as a whole, and that if the conference\nwas unable to agree upon a price to bo\npaid for it, the amount to bo determined\nby an impartial tribunal,\nFinn*! decision of the proposition made\nby Japan through baron Komurn will rest\nwith emperor Nicholas. Even should It be\nrejected it is almost certain now that it\nwould be succeeded by other propositions\nlooking to un ultimate settlement,\nENTERTAINING BATTENBERQ\nPrince Louis and his Men Sightseeing in\nMontreal\nMontreal, Aug. 23-SaiIors of the second\nBritish cruiser squadron put In another\nenjoyable day today fraternizing with hundreds of new found friends and sightseeing.\nPrince LouIb and his officers were taken\nfor a trolley ride around the mountain\nIn the morning and afterwards, as guests\nof the archbishop, inspected the seminary\nand other Roman Catholic institutions.\nThey were guests of the Hunt club at\nluncheon.\nIn the afternoon they attended a garden\nparty given by the city on the mountain,\nwhich drew a large gathering of society\npeople, dining with St. James club members.

To this fact is\nattributed the delay in Australia appointing a high commissioner, an off!\ncer essential in tlie Australian interest\nat the heart of the empire. It is unreasonable to expect that agents-general will command the same attention\nas a person like lord Stratheona. The\nPost rejoices In the early prospect of\nAustralia falling into line with Canada\nupon the policy of moderate national\nprotection coupled with an imperial\nperference.

The\nprotocols involving agreement ou eight\not the tweive conditions originally presented by Japan had been signed. One\nside or the other must make a move\nor the plenipotentiaries had reached the\nparting of the ways, The adversaries\nlaced each other across the table, Of\ncourse it was well understood what\nwould happen, but that in a way ouly\nmade It more dramatic. Figuratively\npresident Roosevelt entered the conference room. Air. Witte sat silent and\nthe move In the great diplomatic game\npassed to Japan. Baron Komura, in a\nlew words, explained that Japan in her\ngreat desire for peace was ready to\nmake certain \"modifications\" of the original articles In the hope that Russia,\ncould iind it possible to accept them.\nHe then presented iu writing to M.\nWitte the compromise proposition\nwhich president Roosevelt had suggested. It was concrete and specific, and\nIt followed the lines outlined In the dispatches.   It offered to withdraw article\n9 providing for the payment by Russia\nof Japan's hill for the cost of the war\non conditions lhat Russia would accept\narticle o, which provides for the cession of Sakhalin, so modified aa to\ninclude au arrangement for the repurchase by Russia ol the northern half\nuf the island tor $120.000,OUU yen. in\naddition it offered to withdraw entirely\narticles 11 and 12 (surrender ul the interned war ships aud limitation upon\nRussia's sea power.in the fur east.)\nBut the real hope still rests with\npresident Roosevelt. He has made\nanother move. He has sent ambassador Meyer direct to the emperor aud\nthey were together, according to advices received here, for three hours today. Mr; Roosevelt, himself, tonight\nmay know more about how the emperor\nfeels than M. Witte, and he may be able\nto act upou the information conveyed\nto htm by his ambassador.\nThe report is industriously circulated here that emperor William is responsible for tlie attitude of emperor\nNicholas and everything is traced back\n10 the meeting of the two emperors on\nboard the Hohenzollern in the Finnish\ngulf. In support of this, it is positively\nstated that after the interview, M.\nWitte's instructions were made stronger\nand more unyielding.\nProm an authoritative Japanese\nsource it is learned (hat the proposition\nto divide the island of Sakhalin came\nfrom the Russians.\nAlthough there has little developed\ntoday, up (ill the final meeting of the\nsecretaries of Uie two missions to\namend tne text or tho protocols, so as\nto allow of ihe insertion of certain\nagreed upon amendments which had\nbeen, from one cause or another, omitted, which would in any degree strengthen the hopes for a final adjustment\nof the difficulties confronting the negotiators; and, in fact, there were many\nthings which would point to the contrary, yet the news received by cablegram from Europe tended to establish\na basis for a hope of ultimate peace\nas a result of the confereUce,  .\nAs far as is'understood the proposal\nemanating from the Japanese, but\nwhich apparently really proceeds from\nthe initiative taken hy president Roosevelt, is as follows: That\"Japan will\nsurrender a whole, or, preferably, the\nnorthern half of the island of Sakhalin\non the condition tha tRussia will pay\na* sufficient sum for it as will cover the\n'indemnity claimed hy the Japanese as\nthe cost of the war.\nIt Is further believed that Japan Is in\na measure prepared to forego the extreme of tho claims made on her behalf\nto the possession of the interned Russian warships and also as to the Unit- j\ntation of Russian naval power in tlie\nFar Bast.\nIt Is pointed out that Russia lias\ncertainly lost Sakhalin, and without it\nnavy, it Is Impossible for that country\nto attempt to recover It', Consequently\nIt Is only right, that a ransom should\nhe paid for it. The amount of the\nransom Is fixed at the amount of the\nwar indemnity claimed. Thus the Russian Is diplomatically freed from tho\nreproach of paying even \"a kopeck of\ntribute.\" On the other hand Japan\nsurrenders a whole or portion of the\nIsland of Sakhalin, liven according to\ntho Russian claim Japan certainly held\nthe southern portion of that island and\nup till within comparatively recent\ntimes. So the compromise meets the\nother Russinn objection of \"not surrendering a foot of Its soil.',*\nIf Russia accepts these terms, practically. If not diplomatically, she will\nbe surrendering a portion of once Russian territory and will also be paying\nan Indemnity that will recoup Japan\n\u25a0for the cost of the war. If Russia does\nnot accept them she will not only he\nshouldering the responsibility of a continuance of the war, but on the other\nhand is not likely, with the military\npower and prestige remaining unto her,\nto be in a position at any future date\nto demand better considerations. Thus,\nit would seem, that in diplomacy as In\nwar, the Japanese have proved victors\nand the Portsmouth conference, in the\nwords of the envoy, \"has proved a diplomatic Tsushima to the Muscovites.\"\nToday ambassador Meyer had a long\ncompromise. A long cablegram had\nbeen received from the czar by M.\nWitte, which did not contemplate this,\nbut which declared that Russia could\nnot go a., foot beyond tbe terms she\nhad already offered. The tone of the\ncablegram was distinctly uncompromising and If its tenor is persisted in\nthe compromise will lie rejected at St.\nPetersburg, An adjournment has been\ntaken until Friday next, In order to permit of a reply from the Peterhof.\nToday ambassador -Mayer had a long\nInterviw with the czar, the result ot\"\nwhich have not been disclosed, but it\nIs noteworthy that the tone of the\nmoney markets at Berlin, Paris and\nLondon is distinctly stronger.\nINQUIRY   INTO  ACCIDENTS.\nMinister of Railways Hillkoff is Investigating Railrond Catastrophes\nSt. Petersburg, Aug. 23.\u2014 It was stated today that the sudden departure\nfrom St. Petersburg on Monday night\nof prince Hillkoff, minister of railroads,\nwas for the purpose of investigating the\ncause of serious accidents which occurred recently iu southern Russia to\nmilitary trains going to the far east.\nIn one of these accidents, which took\nplace in the vicinity of Kazan, twenty\nsoldiers were killed and two officers\nand forty soldiers Injured.\nThe departure of prince Hillkoff was\nat first connected with the purpose of\nthe government to send further reinforcements to general Linevitch and\nthis led to increased pessimism regarding the prospects of peace.\nINTERVIEWS  THE CZAR.\nAmbassador Meyer Has Prolonged Au-\n\u25a0 p dience at Peterhof.\nSt. Petersburg, Aug. 23.\u2014-Mr, Meyer.\nt lie American ambassador, had an audience with the emperor at Peterhof this\nafternoon which lasted three hours.\nPresumably the matter of peace was\ndiscussed at length hut nothing can bo\nascertained at present regarding what\nactually occurred, as the embassy declines to.gi.ve.out any statement.\nIt is known, however, that a long\ncablegram has been sent to Washington, giving the results of the conference. Mr. Meyer left St. Petersburg\nat 3 o'clock in the afternoon, arriving\nat Peterhof about one hour later and\nreturning to St. Petersburg snortty\nbefore 8 o'clock.

DEANE\nTHE  FI0RN1E SETTLEMENT.\nThe men employed in tlie collieries\nof the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company\nhave all gone back to work pondiuf*;\nthe return of general manager Llndsey,\nwho, it is said, will be- in Fernie next\nmonth. The arrangement come to between manager Drlnnan and president\nSherman and his committeemen ls one\nwhich will meet with very general approval, and it is a matter for sincere\ncongratulation that a settlement was\nso quickly reached. The closing of the\ncollieries at the present time would\nhave had a disastrous effect in more\ndirections than one. it would have injured the mining and smelting Interests and business men would have suffered severely had a long strike been\ninaugurated, this of course entirely\noutside of the direct evil effect of a\nlargo number of men being thrown out\nof employment and of the direct injury which the coal company would\nsustain. The very full reports which\nappeared in The Dally News of the\n-mass meetings at Fernie, held last Saturday and Tuesday do not disclose\nsuch very serious difficulties between\nthe muiagement and the men as to\nwarrant the belief that a permanent\nseitloment can not be quickly reached\nupon Mr. Lindsey's return. From the\naction taken by the general manager\nlast spring when the working agreement \\vas finally signed by the company\nand its employees there is every good\nreason for thinking that the difficulties which have come to the surface\ncan be satisfactorily adjusted, and this\nIs all the more apparent from the frank\nattitude of Mr. Sherman and his coni-\nmiltee in discussing the situation at\nthe recent mass meetings. Business\nmen nnd others all over the Kootenay\nwill bo glad to know that a crisis hus\nbeen averted through the exercise of\nmoderation and common sense by ull\nconcerned at Fernie.\nThe Daily News went to a good deal\nof trouble to obtain and publish at first\nhand a full account of lhe situation\nand it is a matter of gratification that\nthe efforts of this newspaper have been\nfully appreciated in East Kootenay and\nelsewhere.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nThere are many indications that\nChina Is at last thoroughly aroused to\nthe necessity of opening the country\nto foreign influences, and It seems probable that the same tactics will be adopted as have proved so successful in the\ncase of Japan\u2014that is the reorganization of the country ia to bo done by tlie\nChinese themselves, especially by those\nwho are to be educated abroad for this\npurpose. There is a determined effort\nto boycott not only American goods\nbut all foreign capital. Tho Chinese\nmerchants in many parts of the empire\nhave petitioned tlie board of foreign\naffairs not lo grant franchises to foreigners, claiming that they are able lo\nfinance llie roads without outside aid.\nThe native merchants of the Che-Klang\nprovince have subscribed enough money\nto build a local railroad and have asked the government to cancel the concession to the English. Similar action\nhas been taken In regard to the Canton-\nHankau railway, In whicli J. P, Morgan and king Leopold of Belgium are\ninterested. The Chinese minister at\nWashington is reported to have offered\nthe American syndicate $6,000,000 to\nturn over the concession to the Chinese,\nall of which, indicates that John Chinaman is preparing to manage his own\naffairs upon an entirely uew plan.\nIf Japan allows Russia to retain\nSakhalin and Vladivostok with Its railway connecting it with Russia, even\nwere the Russians to agree to limit\ntheir naval power in the Far East, it\nis merely a question of time before the\nRussians make themselves so strong\nIn both places that Japan will find it\nImpassible to compel Russia to minimize her naval force and she will find\nherself In much about tho same position as she was two years ago, She\nwill have to build ship Tor ship with\nRussia so as to preserve her connection\nwith Korea and Uaotung In order to\nprevent a sudden incursion from the\nnortli sweeping away her garrison In\nthose two places, it appears, therefore, that it would be cheaper for Japan to continue the fight. On the other\nhand Japan may be of the opinion that\nit Is Impossible for Russia for many\nyears to come to build up Its strength\nagain so its to renew the struggle and\n) that In the meantime it will be passible\nto so reorganize China as to resist any\nRussian aggression, however powerful.\nIt was hoped hy silver-lead mining\nmen In the Kootenays that the satisfactory price of Ijoth silver and load\nduring the ilrst. half of the current year\nwould at least bo maintained for the\nlast six months of 1905. Tho market for these two commodities mentioned has been unusually steady for\nmonths, but at a time when a slight\ndecline was fairly looked for the price\nof both silver aud lead hns stiffened\nand gone up sharply. Silver ls over\nthe 01 mark in New York today and\nLondon lead is keeping closely around\n\u00a314. This should encourage both\nminers and would bo investors, and\nshould make it easy to obtain capital\nfor Investment in mining ventures, and\nfor properties sufficiently developed to\nhave passed the experimental stage.\nIndirectly the business outlook generally should bo greatly Improved with\nsuch stimulating Influences in evidence.\nCanada is beig advertised in England\nat the present time as though It were\na patent medicine, declares the London Daily Mail. No one In the Dominion will object to such advertising, but\njudging from the influx of Immigrants\nIt looks as if this country( was being\njudiciously advertised and as if the\ngovernment were getting good value for\nthe money expended.\nIt Is satisfactory to note that enquiries of all sorts are coming in to the\nexhibition directors about the approaching fall fair. The three days'\nevent is being well advertised and present indications point to a very large\n\u25a0attendance of visitors. The secretary\nstates that the number of exhibits will\nbe greatly in advance of the last two\nyears and that the requests for prize\nlists and information generally shows\nthat the interest excited already Is\nWidespread. The directors should press\non with llie work, and tho opening day\nof the short fair season should find\neverything In place. The mistakes\nmade at iho recent Winnipeg exhibition, which have caused so much complaint should he avoided hero and this\nyear's fair should bo mado a triumphant\nsuccess.\nTHE GRAND ARMY.\nVictoria Rifles of Hrockvllle Takes\nPart In Exercises.\nOgdenburg, Aug. 23.\u2014In the presence of vice-president Fairbanks, veterans of northern New York united\nwith Ranscott post O.

He has\ngiven up his bond on the Kootenay Bell,\nnvar Salmo for the present. He, has faith\nin Kootenay and ls paying special attention to its developments although he has\nmining interests in nearly every western\nstate in the union.\nSeen at the Hume\" last evening by a reporter of The Dally News Mr. Clark said:\n\"I am hero partly to settle up business\nabout the Kootenay Bell.

Oh, no, I am\nuot through with the country by any\nmeans. 1 expect to haw other Interests\nhere before long, but 1 don't care to say\nanything definite on the subject at present.\n\"No, 1 was not disappointed in the Kootenuy Boll. 1 am satisfied that It is a\ngood property. We didn't succeed In coming to terms on It; that Is all.\n\"Yes, I have mining interests all over.\nSome are in Tonopah. My chief interest\nat present is the Furnace mine on Furnace\ncreek, in California. Wo are developing\nthat extensively. It ls a gold mine and\nvery promising.\"\nMf. Clark Is accompanied by W.

He has always been a conservative\ninvestor and a long and highly successful\nexperience lias convinced him that It Is\nnot always the ilrst to enter that makes\nthe biggest fortune. It Is an encouraging\nsign for the Salmo district that Mr, Clark\nconsiders that country promising, and tho\npresent   time   favorable   for  Investing.\nGRAIN AND STOCKS\nYesterday's market showed a small rise\nIn every stock.

J, H, Turner\nhas too much work to do. His only assistants ua-e two young Englishmen who know\nabsolutely nothing about British Columbia.\nThe means afforded 99 the agent general\nare altogether inadequate.\nJ, L, Stamford, president of the Northwest Coal and Coke company, told a reporter of The Daily News yesterday some\nof his experiences In London.\n\"I was amused as well as annoyed,\"\nsaid Mr. Stamford, \"at tho utter ignorance of the resources of British Columbia\nthat still prevails In London. I have\nhad men, Intelligent and fairly well Informed men too, ask me where British\nColumbia Is. They have a vague Idea that\nCanada Is a largo and wealthy country,\nbut the names of the provinces, except Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba, are almost\nunknown, and British Columbia is the least\nknown of all, although it is the only province that maintains a speolai agency.\n\"Canada's name stands very high In England now, and many capitalists are Investing in Ontario and Manitoba. Lord Straith-\ncona's office, and tlie C.P.R. company's\nLondon offlce are centrally located, well\nknown and well managed. In them are\nmaps in profusion, exhibits of grain and\nvarious manufactured articles, and, most\nimportant of all, clerks who arc Canadians\nand can answer questions about Canada\nIntelligently.\nTlio Britisli Columbia ofllce Is out of\ntho way, it has no exhibits, few maps\nor views, and the two clerks have never\nseen Canada. I don't wish to criticize Mr.\nTurner, he Is doing his best with the\nmeans afforded him by the government.\n\"It Is all the more unfortunate that there\nhas never been so favorable a time as tho\npresent for getting money for investment.\nMoney is accumulating there at the rate\nof \u00a30,000,000 a month. It is so plentiful\nthat it Is hard to tlnd channels of investment for It at any rate of interest. A\nman who can get 2 1-2 per cent on an investment in England now Is doing well.\nThey are keen for colonial investments\nand  Canada has first choice.\n\"I was under the impression that we in\nBritish Columbia wanted capital to develop our resources. A visit to the provincial offlce ln London gives one the impression that we have either nothing to\noffer, or have no object in making our\nresources known. We could get in London all the money required to open up our\nmines, if we only adopted somo Intelligent\nmeans of advertising.\n\"It Isn't only the agency offlce that ls\nbadly administered. The British Columbia\nsection at tho Crystal Palace is shabby\nanfl obsolete. U cuts a sorry figure beside the sections representing the other\ncolonies. A British Columbian Is eagerly\nwelcomed at the agency; he is bombarded\nwith questions about the country by the\nclerks, who seem to have no other source!\nof information.\"\nM. Stamford thinks that more information about British Columbia is disseminated by visitors than can be derived frum\ntho office of the agent general.\nMINING RECORDS\nAt the mining recorder's office on Wednesday J. c.
