Especially at St. Petersburg there Is constant danger that Instructions at the last moment may come to try to get this concession or that concession, and thus bring on diplomatic discus sions which might lndeflnltely prolong the negotiations. The 17th and Concluding Article of Treaty Provides Exchange of Ratifi cations'8hall Occur Within 60 Days After Being 8lgned—Governor Pres ent to Witness 8ignlng of Treaty. Portsmouth, Sept. 4.—From an offl- . dal source the Associated Press 1 b Informed that the treaty Is completed. It consists of a preamble and 17 arti cles. But there were still differences about the wording of the protocol of the last sitting which must be signed before the treaty Itself can be signed. The Japanese presented a protocol to which the Russians took exception. The 17th and concluding article of the treaty provides that the exchange of ratifications shall occur within 60 days after being signet^ by the pleni potentiaries. The Russian ratification will be communicated to the Japanese government by the French minister Toklo, and Mr. Meyer, the American ambassador at St. Petersburg, will communicate the Japanese ratification to the Russian government. After being treated to every variety of weather the peace conference prom ises to end in the midst of a raging northeaster. Since last night it has been blowing a gale, accompanied by torrents of rain. According to local traditions such northeasters contlnuo for three days, so that it probably will last over the day on which the treaty Is signed. The plenipotentiaries and the at taches of the two missions seem to be fully as anxious for the curtain to ring down on the final act of the dra ma as the little colony of newspaper correspondents and summer guests who are awaiting to be \in at the death.” The work of engrossing the treaty has already been begun. Mr. Rojestvecsky is doing the callgraphic work of the French and Mr. AdashI that of the English text. Sticklers for Wq^li Controversies over the phraseology still continue and thore were soveral conferences today between Mr. De- Martens and Mr. Dennison, differences being referred for adjustment to the principals. Tho Japanese are proving great sticklers for words. They cling tenaciously to their ideas. Careful preparation and methods have been the secret of their successes on land and sea, and In their diplomatic strug gles at Portsmouth the same Qualities have been displayed. In the sittings of the conference Baron Komura always stated the Japa nese position upon a given point brief ly, but with IDAHO FORESTRY SETTLED. Boise,'Idaho, Sept. 6.—As the result a conference between Governor Gooding and Gifford Pinohot. ohief of the forestry service, a perfeot under standing between the state and national government has been reaobed on the subjeot of forest reserves in this state. The government and forestry servioe will oooperate hereafter to the fullest extent on all matters pertaining to the protoetion of forest and water sheds. An important foatnre of tho under standing is In relation to the state sohool sections embraced in the re serves. After Governor Gooding had set forth the condition in whioh these sohool sections are loft, an agreement was reaohed that the state should be given a solid body of timber land in ex change for suoh sohool lands, this land to be maintained as state reserve, pro ceeds o f timber gales from it going to the publio schools fund. BRITAIN AND JAPAN THEY MAY FORM LEAGUE TO DOMINATE OVER ASIA. TREATY IS SIGNED Witte, whose method was entirely dlf- effect in ferent, would try to draw out explana- f tions, he would stick doggedly to the statement he bad made. M. Witte, a man of affairs, resource ful and talented as he is admitted to be, had his case in his head. He novel brought any paper with him. He met everything which came up In an off hand way, weighing It Instantly in his mind, analyzing it, arguing the pro and con, and stating his view quite bluntly, never asking for time to con sider. Baron Komura, on the other hand, could With the greatest difficulty be Induced to enter into the region of ar gument. He stuck to the brief be fore him, speaking always quite Blowly, as if ho had learned his les son by rote. Several times M. Witte would say: \Yes I understand perfectly what you say, but what do you mean, what is your real object?\ Then Baron Komura would go back and restate his proposition almost ex actly as he had done originally. Both systems had their advantages. By in sisting, Insisting. Insisting, Baron Ko mura would sometimes catch U-. Witte off his guard and2 provoke statements which were always eagerly seized upon. M. Witte seldom had a crystalized counter proposition to make. But on the other hand, whenever M. Witte succeeded in leading his adversary in to the realm of argument where previ ous preparation availed he had Baron Komura at a disadvantage. One of those present linked Baron Komura a horse in \blinkers.” As long as he was on a beaten road with his work cut out ahead of him he fought along readily, but the Instant he was off the road into the woods with the \blin kers\ removed, he appeared to be con fused and lost and hastened back as __ ^;iy as possible to the road he had mentally traveled so often and with every foot of which he was famll- Portsmouth,8ept G.—The war treaty was signed at 8:46 p. m.

PUBLIC PRINTER OUSTED. Washington, Sept. 7.—Publio Printer F. W. Palmer praotioally has been ousted from offioe. It was learned authoritatively that President Roose velt had demanded Mr. Palmers’s res ignation, to take effect on the 16th in stant. The demand of the president for Mr. Palmer’s resignation was due primarily to the latter’s action in trying to foroe Oscar J. Ricketts, foreman of printing, and L. O. Hay, a foreman o f division, out of the government printing office. Mr. Palmer asked for the resignation of Ricketts and Hay on the ground that they had been insubordinate. As soon as President Roosevelt learn ed of the Bitnation that had developed he directed Poblio Printer Palmer to and when M. I forward his resignation to him, to take o weeks.

The French government has ad dressed to the sultan of Morocco an other peremptory note amounting to an ultimatum.

Third, a public apology. If all of the demands are not granted within a brief time the French min ister will be ordered to leave Fez pre paratory to the adoption of coercive measures. Hold 8lav Down—England Strength ens Position Against an Invasion— Little Faith In Ameer—Alliance of Island Empires May Be Sufficiently 8trong to Protect Asiatic Dominions London, SepL 4.—Great Britain and Japan are in league for the .lord- ship of Asia. Lord Landsdowne and Baron Hayashl have scored agf ‘ the opinion of officialdom and great facts stand conspicuous 1 policy of Great Britain now that the mists have rolled aWhy from the Ports mouth conference. One is the larged alliance with Japan and the other is a new program In India. Per haps the two should be considered as one, since each is distinctively anti- Russian In orfeln and tendency. By the alliance, in its new form, the con tracting powers hold Russia Is the na tion whose aggressions -they have fear.

London has little confidence In tho present ameer of Afghanistan and tho buffer state is no longer re garded as likely to help check the Russians, should they try to descend upon the fertile plains of India. - Lord Kitchener’s mandate that a complete reorganization of tho Anglo- Indian army is imperative is univer sally approved in Great Britain be cause It dovetails with tho extended alliance under which the two Island empires are In agreement to prevent Russia from Interfering on any point with the Asiatic dominions of each other. The outcome of such vast changes of policy is almost Inconceivable, ac cording to high authority. REVIVE ARMY CANTEENS. Brigadier General Wlnt Urges This Policy. The war department has received the annual repopt of Brigadier General Theodore J. Wlnt, U. S. A., upon the military affairs of the northern vision. The general in this report repeats the complaints about the many sa loons always to be found around the posts, over which the military author ities have no control whatever, and it 1 b stated that a saloon in connection with the canteen or post exchange by some responsible person under fixed rules would be a great advant age. The annual Inspection of the na tional guard noted a general lmprove- and It Is noted that there is honest effort on the part of the state officials to Improve matters. The re port also advises that several of the small posts, especian# Fort Washakie, Wyo., be abandoned, as they are very expensive and of no_pracl|)cal ase. CARE FOR WHEAT. New Plan Started to Save Expense In Storing Crop. Richardson, one of the most extensive wheat growers In Columbia county. Washington, has inaugurated an original feature to effect a saving of nearly 6 cents per bushel in secur ing and storing his crop.
