At times Blake was absorbed In the discussion, again bis mind wandered to the woman he would buy at the price of hla honor. Then he thought of John Burta pnneely pledge, and like a flash there cime to him an Impulse which thrilled his very soul with a happiness In which were throbs of poignant pain. Not many blocks away another conference was In progress. Staid bank dltectors and financiers associated with Arthur Morris had been aroused from their slumbers and were assembled in bis rooms. Bewildered for the moment by the unexpected blow, Mortis took measures for defense with a vigor which was keyed by a sense of imminent danger. Ills suspicion that James Blake was the cause of hla cefeat became a certainty when a reporter informed him that Blake and Samuel I Rounds were boyhood com-- I nulons, and that the latter had been seen in Blake's offices. The east was crimsoned with sunlight before the conference ended The weary men of money left Morris' rooms and sought a few hours of rest before facing the ordeal of the day. For mutual protection they had formed a pool; had pledged themselves to support the market against the expected onslaught of Blake's millions. Why were these masked millions drawn up in battle array? Why did men of vast affairs wait with drawn faces and bated wreaths the hour when the clash of opposing fortunes should sound the signal for merciless conflict? Because of a woman a woman pure as an opening bud and gentle as the dew which kisses It. Why had James Blake proved false to the man who unselfishly befriended him? Why had he sought to repay loyalty with perfidy? Because of a woman a woman whose loving heart was Incapable of ' V r . - si ns quietly )i d red-haire- To-day,- d pro-notio- W?

DEMANDS THAT CAUSED WAk What Japan Desired Russia to Grant, and What the Latter Agreed to Concede It was on July 28, 1903, that Japan made her first proposal to Russia for a joint diplomatic consideration of the lelatlons of the two empires toward Korea and China. In that first note Japan called attention to Russias continued occupation of Manchuria and of her progress toward the Korean frontier, and then made this statement, which has been called the Japanese Monroe doctrine: "Japan possesses paramount political as welt as commercial and Industrial Interests and Influence in Korea, which, having regard for her own security, she cannot consent to surrender to, or share with, any other power." Within two weeks Russia gave her assent to enter Into negotiations, and then Japan presented her formal proposal. At once there was delay. Nearly three weeks were used up in discussing the place for holding the discussions on the proposals. Japan had made her representations at St. Petersburg. Russia deemed Toklo a more appropriate place. Japan favored continuing the negotiations where they had begun. Russia was Immovable and finally the whole procedlngs were adjourned to Toklo. 7.000 miles away. But before the Russian commissioners could start for the Japanese capi JAPAN8 ORIGINAL PROPOSAL. T.

Then, an Immediate marriage and a trip to Europe. Yvhy should that not win? it's got to win; I'll make it win. Thus argued James Blake during a luii In the conversation. This was worthy of his reckless nature. He cculd not turn back. The smoke of burning bridges was behind him; the spoils of conquered love awaited his oowail march.

The reason for this delay was that the empress was Indisposed. When the commissioners arrived at Toklo another delay of two months occurred before Russia submitted her reply. MohI conspicuous in her reply was this article: "Recognition by Japan that Manchuria and Its littoral as In all respects outside her sphere of Interests. Throughout the discussion, which extended to Feb. 6, 1904, Russia Insisted that the Manchurian question was exclusively a question for Russia and China. Then it was that Japan Informed Russia, through the Japanese minister at St. Petersburg, that because of Russia's refusal to consider the Manchurian question, and because of unexplained delays and extraordinary naval and military activities on the part of Russia, the Japanese government had no other alternative than to "terminate the present futile negotiations." That was on Feb. 6, 1904. Two daya later, on Feb. 8, the first shot of the war was fired. Just what Japan demanded and w hat Russia was willing to concede or refused to concede are shown in the following columns: RUSSIA'S LAST PROPOSAL. 1. A mutual engagement to respect the independence and territorial integ- rity of Korea. 2. An engagement on the part of Russia not to Impede the commercial or industrial undertakings of Japan In Korea, nor oppose her measures for safeguarding such interests. "3. Recognition by Russia of Japan's preponderating interests In K rea and her right to offer advice and assistance tending to the Improvement of the administration of Korea. "4. A mutual obligation not to use any part of Korean territory for strategic purposes, nor undertake on the coasts of Korea any military works which menace free navigation of the Korean straits. "5. Recognition by Russia of Japan's right to send troops to Korea, In accordance with the preceding articles, for the suppression of Insurrections and disorders calculated to create international complications. "6. An engagement by Russia to respect the rights and privileges acquired by Japan, as well as other powers, In Manchuria, through treaties with China; Japan to recognize M4n churla and the littoral as beyond her sphere of influence. 7. A mutual agreement not to Impede the junction of the Korean and Eastern China railroads when they shall have reached the Yalu river. "8. That this agreement supplant all previous agreements between Russia and Japan respecting Korea. "9. The desirability, If possible, of creating a neutral zone in Korea.

It should be realized that In the specialization process which competition has brought shout In recent years, employes, no matter how small and apparently Insignificant their special operation, are to be considered in tho light of experts. Why does the manager then, as a rule, herd these expert workemployes in dark, shops, provide them with poor facilities for doing their work, and offer them few or no comforts? With not only an absence of personal touch, encouragement, and effort to inspire Interest in their work, but with the introduction of conditions which induce discouragement, fear of loss of position, and anxiety of mind lest bad of others may be workmanship charged to them and their wages cut proportionately without recourse to some arbiter of Justice, will human nature on the part of the employe respond with cordiality to the full expectations of the employer? Certain-ly not. There is much simplicity in the attitude of mind of one who expects enthusiastic Interest in bis affairs to be displayed by his workmen when he openly shows that he takes no Interest In them. Why are manas to allow conagers so short-sighteditions to exist wherehv they cannot . efforts on expect to secure the part of their employes? If. F. J.

Oliver Stevens, who has been the district attorney of Suffolk county, Massachusetts, for thirty years, has tendered his resignation to Gov. Douglas. The resignation Is thought to be due to continued ill health and the adOliver vanced age of Mr. Stevens. Stevens was 48 years old when he was first elected district attorney and at the time of his Induction Into office the biggest case in the history of bay state murderers was on the docket. It was known as the "belfry murder " Piper was charged with the murder of Mabel H. Young. The evidence was wholly circumstantial, but Mr. Ste vena managed It with such consummate skill that the murderer was found guilty In the first degree and hanged. t, L 1 - |
