THE GOLDEN BRIDGE I Will Russia Reject It P I M. WITTE EXPECTS A DECISIVE REPLY. [ [Press Association Special Service.1 PARIS, Thursday. The "Matin's" Portsmouth correspondent has had a conversation with M. Witte, who confirmed the report that Japan wished to sell part of Saghalien for a sum equal to her war expenses. He does not think St. Peters- burg will favour this suggestion. The substi- tution of the money obtained by the sale of Saghalien for the reimbursement of the war costs does not seem sufficient to determine Ruesia. to accept it. M. Witte thinks that the reply from St. Petersburg will be deci- sive. I PROSPECTS BRIGHTER. Although little has transpired reg-arding yesterday's conference of the peace envoys, the prospects are generally regarded as con- siderably brighter. A correspondent of the" Times" says:- For the first time there is a real hope of peace. It is only a hope, but it is substan- tial. It is necessary in order to preserve it to speak with extreme caution, but thic may be sadd: The Japanese and Russians no longer face each other as implacable antagonists. Bach has maintained hitherto an irreconcilable attitude on the two ques- tions of indemnity and Sa-ghalien. The Bus- sian refusal to yield on either question has been inflexible. The Japanese resolve to enforce both has never been shaken. At last they think their minds may meat. No final results have been reached, but, says a Japanese authority beyond dispute.. Y.ou may say there is an improvement—there is more than a possibility that we may come to terms." The "Morning Post" correspondent adds:- The Peacg of Portsmouth is within measurable distance. The treaty of peace will be, as all such matters usually are, a compromise. Russia, will make a money pay- ment to Japan. It is simply payment of money to Japan for which diplomatists may hereafter find a name. It is not large—that is, large as ithe modern world measures in-; demnities. It is not five milliards of francs, which France pa-id Germany, and which wa.s the lowest sum that the Japanese popular ,imagination fixed upon as the price of peace. Japan accepts a. very small sum compared with that to which the world thinks she is justly entitled, but she accepts it in the name of humanity, and it is her gift to the world's peace. The question of the cession of Saghalien is settled by a division of the island, Russia ret,a,ining the northern part a,nd Japan the southern. This is a return to the status prior to 1875. Russia, there- fore, does not actually cede Russian terri- tory. She retrocedes Japanese territory to Japan. There remain, therefore, only two other disputed trtdclw-the surrender of the Russian ships interned in neutral ports and the limitation of Russia's naval force in the Pacific. Japan recedes from both." [ YESTERDAY'S CONFERENCE. [Press Association Special Service.] PORTSMOUTH (N.H.), Wednesday. It is stated that Baron Komura has agreed to offer Mr. Roosevelt's proposal for a com- promise at this morning's session of the con- ference. In well-informed quarters a final rupture to-day is regarded as impossible, no matter what the Cfcar's instructions to M. Witte may be. If the negotiations are pro- longed into next week it is declared that 00 much pressure will be brought to bear upon the Czar that he will be unable to resist. M. Witte received a long telegram from St. Petensburg at ten o'clock last night. It is impossible to confirm the report that this contained a. negative to President Roosevelt's suggestion, though this was freely stated, i It is known that Air. Roosevelt's proposal would permit satisfaction of the Japanese demands for re-imbureement, and at the same time enable Russia to iace the world declaring that she has not coded a foot of territory nor paid a kopeck of war tribute. Briefly put, it consists in a suggestion that Russia should re-purchase all or part of Saghalien for a sum the amount of which shall, in the event of the belligerents being unable to agree, be decided by some method of arbitration to be determined later. The purchase money, together with the sums obtained by Japan from China for the cession of the Eastern Railroad and from Russia for the maintenance of prisoners, would about equal Japan's war costs. This practically amounts to the abandonment by Japan of Article V., claiming Saghalien, and by Russia of Article IX., the indemnity clause. It is almost certain that the message sent by President Roosevelt to M. Witte and Baron Von R;en was the result of the Pre- sident's interview with Baron Kaneko, and it is believed it gave M. Witte a substantial assurance that Japan was willing to accept the compromise. This report is supported by the Japanese authoritative statement given out yetiterday evening, made in reply to a question as to whether Japan had not decided to make a substantial concession. The reply was: "It all depends upon Russia. Colonel Michael, chief clcrk of the State Department, has arrived from Washington with a copy of the State Department code for Mr. Peirce's use. 2.0 p.m. It is announced that the sitting of the Peace Conference will be resumed at 2.30 this afternoon. It is ofricially explained that this morning's adjournment was due to the fact that divergence of views was manifested regarding the text of the protocol. The Russians contended that some corrections suggested by the Russian secretary, M. Plan- con. to which it was understood the Japanese agreed, had not been made. When this situa- tion arose it was decided to read the protocol in full and dacide the disputed points in con- ference. This work, however, was not con- cluded, and the conference adjourned until the afternoon. The plenipotentiaries remained within easy reach of the conferenee-room, but took no part themselves in the morning's proceedings, which, being of a routine nature, were left to the respective staffs. It was, however, intimated in certa:n quarters that the plenipotentiaries were themselves in private consultation during the morning. This would, no doubt, be signift- cant if true, but no confirmation is obtain- able. Meanwhile, the secretaries of both mis- sions have been given an opportunity to; adjust the claims made by each side that corrections which sJiould have been made both in the French text and the English translation have not been made. 4.0 p.m. The envoys returned to the conference- room at two p.m., half an hour in advance of the time appointed. The official account of to-day's sitting states that the protocols were signed in due form. and the sitting was adjourned until Saturday. Tho delay secured by the adjournment allows time for a possible compromise. It means that there is hope of a favourable issue. All the world's forces which make for peace, financial and otherwise, including President Roosevelt, are bringing their influence to bear on the side of peace. The President is working in direct communica- tion with the Emperor Nicholas through Mr. Meyer, the .United States Ambassador in St. Petersburg, who was received by the Em- peror to-day. Nevertheless, the scheme of compromise suggested by the President does not appear to have been submitted officially to the con- ference. His work has been behind the scenes. Air. Roosevelt has, however, secured tlia acquiescence of Japan, and the general understanding in official quarters to-day was that his compromise would be submitted to the conference as a Japanese propositi. Almost to a man the members of the Rls- sia.n Mission would favour the compromise suggested by Mr. Roosevelt. So far as their personal opinion goes, in their view it offers an honourable road by which peace may be reached, but they are powerless if the Emperor and his advisers stand firm. As last night's cablegram from St. Petersburg to M. Witte was sent before the Fanperor Nicholas had received commynica- tion of the message from Mr. Roosevelt, v.hicli was handed to M. Witte yesterday at the Navy Yard, it need not necessarily be accepted as his Majesty's last word. [Press Association Special Service.] NEW YORK, Wednesday. To-day's PeaoCe Conference is not expected to result in any definite action being taken. M. Witte is believed to be awaiting further instructions from St. Petersburg. [Press Association Special -Sarvice.4 I UlSTt-K BAY, Wednesday. Notwithstanding the official denial, the report that Mr. M'Grew, President Roose- velt's stenographer, had gone to Portsmouth on a mission for the President is fully con- firmed. Mr. M'Grew returned from Ports- mouth to-day. I

I "NAVAL OFFICER" ————— -& MAKES LOVE TO CARDIFF LADIES. He Suggests an Elopement to Weston. A man who passes as a naval officer has during the last few months been playing havoc with the tender hearts of inaidens in Cardiff a.nd the district. He is a presentable sort of fellow, and he does not appear to have developed the mischievous tendencies of Don Juan. He has initiated himself into the homes of several families as a son or a nephew of Mr. W. T. Symonds, of Cathedral- road, and under these self-created credentials has been well entertained. The pseudo-naval officer's predilection, how- ever, appears to have been to make love to some of the prettiest girls ip. Cardiff and the neighbourhood, and to introduce them with an astounding assurance to people he had never seen before, but with whom he claimed acquaintanceship. His conduct, was not, of course, resented at the moment, politeness permitting even the intrusion of a etranger who is supposed to be the friend of some- body else whom the host knows. The names of several people in Cardiff and the district could be given who were delighted to enter- tain the handsome young officer. The names could also be given of ladies with marriage- [ able daughters who treated him with Handsome Hospitality A representative writes:—"One of the most level-headed girls, who happened to meet the 'naval officer,' was not struck at first by his appearance or speech. She has been educated in some of the best schools in England, and, naturally, disliked the mis- placement 'of h's,' but the plausibility of the officer overcame any antagonistic feeling when the parents rather encouraged the advances of the young man. "'How* did you get introduced to him?' asked the pressman. 'He came to our house with a letter from abroad, but had evidently mistaken the address. He was in full uniform, and, naturally, we treated him kindly. He said his ship was at Portsmouth, and that he had oome down to marry a young lady in Cathe- dral-road. This young lady. however, had jilted him, and he then professed a violent love for me.' "'And-" (This was getting on delicate ground.) 'It was too sudden. I don't mean it in the comic-paper sense, but that I did not know sufficient about him.' 'Then what happened?' "'He used to come every morning, and I went out occasionally with him. He said he had a houee furnished at Portsmouth, and wanted me to elope with him to Weston.' 'Why elope?' 'Because my brother had been making inquiries, and he was not satisfied with the result.' We understand that several other ladies have been similarly approached, and with the same .result. Visions of princely wealth do not appear to have appealed to them.

CARDIFF PARKS FOOTBALL. MR. CHAPPELL DENIES HAYING ANY PREJUDICE. Mr. Chappell, chairman of the Cardiff Parks Committee, was interviewed on Wed- nesday on the subject of the restrictions imposed on local football clubs playing on the parks. "The foabballers, for one thing," said our represemitative, complain that they did not get notice of this action until they bad com- pleted their fixture lists for the season." They ha-ve had several months' notice," j said Mr. Chappell. W'hen this deputation, of which Mr. Williams was a. member, waited upon our committee at the end of last sea- son, they were told then that we would strain every point to give them opportunities to play off their remaining trophy matches, but l-hey were told plainly that we oould not guarantee them spaces for such matches in the approaching season. We have to administer the parks for tihe public gene- rally. We have to consider cricketers, hockey players, baseball players, and others as well, and we are really unable to allow footballers to have the use of the parks for nine months of the year. We are ready, how- ever, to let them use it as far as possible without damaging our grounds and without interfering with the convenience of the general public. I have no personal prejudice agalinst football or any favouritism for cricket, as Mr. Williams suggests. You could not find a worse athlete than myself in all Cardiff, but I am. fond of every branch of sport, even those branches in which I cannot taie part. I wa,D,t to see, for instance, the parks open in the early morning for cyclists. Now, on the Splott ground they were playing football till the end of May, and instead of the ground getting five or six weeks' rest, we immediately had applications from dozens of cricket clubs to play there. These could not be at once granted—the ground was bound to have a little time to recover—all on account of the clumsiness of the football arrangements. We have spent a. considerable sum in getting the cricket pitches laid out, a.nd now the footballers will cut them up like a ploughed field, a.nd next year we must face the question whether the ratepayers will consent to so much expendi- ture being incurred again." footballers Then," said our reporter, footballers say if they cannot play on wet days they can never go to the expense of getting a team from outside Cardiff for fear it .should rain, and the match cannot be played." "Well," was the reply, "we don't have to cater for outside teams. We cater for our own public in Cardiff. Most of the outcry last season was about the schoolboys matches, and there is no difficulty about them. They can always play in the morning. There is no doubt some of the adult cluba ought to have grounds of their own. Some of them used to have, but now they all come on us." Mr. Williams says," the interviewer went on, "that they intend to play, and that they will not stop at even a- prosecution. We dort't care," replied Mr. Chappell, "what they say. But if they threaten they will find that we shall have an effective reply. They can take that how they like. I I will not put it any plainer." KEEP OFF THE GRASS! j There is a little notice-board II We see in parks whene'er we pa., And thus it runs, yea, every word, "Keep off the gras-s!" "Keep off the grass!" It is the eleventh commandment, sure, And sometimes broken 'tis, a,! as! Who was it saw it onoe-and swo-re,? "Keep off the grass!" "Keep off the grass!"

PECKHAM'S "GHOST." Big Crowds in the Streets. Peaceful Peckham has this week been per- turbed by a ghost story. But as it has turned out to be all story, and no ghost, Peckham is placid again, and continues to sleep soundly at nights. The yarn which set Peckham a-wondering owed its origin, it is said, to the inventive genius of two young girls, who in an excited moment declared that they raw two white phantoms—lady ghosts--dodging in front of the windows of an unoccupied house in Queen's-road. The news spread fast, and each night this week the road has been thronged with curiosity-mongers gazing earnestly at the windows of the rather gloomy-looking house which the phantom visitors are sup- posed to have chosen for their nightly orgies. Up to the present nothing has been dis- covered, inside the house or out, to lend the slightest colour to the absurd rumours—if one excepts the model of the head of a "hollow-turnip" ghost which some wag pasted on the low-er window on Tuesday. The crowd on Tuesday night was EO large tha.t! the pohoe had hard work to prevent a. com- plete obstruction of the road. Last night, however, the crowd was much smaller, for the police kept everyo-ne on the move; and a j continuance of their vigorous action will no doubt-effectually lay this rumour of a ghost.

SEWERAGE SCHEME.) WESTERN VALLEYS' WORKS I Mr. A. Jones, Ebbw VaJe, presided at a meeting of the Western Valleys (Mon.) Sewer- age Board at the County Council Offices, Newport, on Wednesday. Statutory notice having been given of the intention of the board to consider the matter, the following resolution was paswed:- That tlie board do apply in the next session of Parliament for an Act to autho- rise the board to construct a connecting sewer, being a continuation of Conduit No. 5 authorised by the. Western Valleys (Monmouthshire) Sewerage Board Act, 1903, from the termination of Conduit No. 5 in the urban district of Hisca to Pont-cwm- Corrwg, in the urban district of Mynyddis- lwyn, and to provide that the Sirhowy portion of the urban district of Mynyddis- lwyn shall be a constituent district and the Mynyddislwyn Urban District Council a constituent- authority within the meaning of the Western Valleys (Monmouthshire) Sewerage Board -Act, 1903, and to confer such other powers on the board as play be necessary for carrying out the objects of the intended Aot. Mr. T. S. Edwards (olerk and solicitor) reported that at a meeting of the finance committee it was notified that the con- tractor, Mr. Thomas Taylor, had submitted as his sureties Mr. Watkin Williams and Mr. T. G. Williams, of Cardiff. These were accepted. There were no less than 350 applications for the positions of inspectors of works. How many inspectors dt will be necessary to appoint is Hot yet known. It will depend on the number of sections of the work in progress at .a time. The. applications were referred to a committee to "short list," pre- paratory to coming before the board again at the next meeting. Mr. Chatterton, one of the joint engineers, said that if it was intended to enlarge the outfall of the eewer it would be, necessary to make observations of the ebb and flow of the tide at the place of discharge,, and for this purpose it would be necessary to engage a steam launch. He proposed that the observations be taken in. the last fort- night in SepterAer. Whether the urban district of Tredegar decided to join the scheme or not, it would be useful to get the I information. The board decided to authorise the work. II SEWERAGE SCHEME FOR PONTY- POOL AND DISTRICT. The question of the pollution of the Avon I Liwyd by sewage and other refuse came up for consideration at a meeting of the Ponty- pool Council on Wednesday. The streets and sanitary committee, aft-er discussing the report of the Monmouthshire County Council, recommended that the local council should inform the county authority that they had been anxiously considering this question for some time past, and seeking an efficient scheme to be carried out in conjunction with neighbouring councils, who bad, however, since withdrawn from the proposals. It was further recommended that word should be sent that the council were now inquiring as to the feasibility of a separate septic instal- lation for their district. Air. W. H. Hughes, the ex-chairman, started that, while they were prepared to deal with the matter upon its :merit.s so far as Ponty- pool was concerned, he thought the attention of the county council ought to he drawn to the fact that the pollution of the river did not originate in Pontypool, but at INaenavon and down through Abersychan. Mr. Harmston stated that, whatever was done, he hoped they would not follow on the lines of the outrageous scheme of the Western Valleys, where thousands of pounds had already been spent without putting a spade in the ground. Personally, he did not think it was advisable that they should join Blaen- avon, but that Pontypool, Panteg, and Aber- sychan should decide upon a joint scheme of their own. The abnormal infantile death- rate was due to improper feeding, and not to disease from the river. Mr. Edgar Probyn was in favour of inform- ing the Local Government Board that the local authorities at the top of the valley were taking steps to meet their wishes, and after tho completion of their scheme the Pontypool Council would be prepared to undertake their part in the work. The recommendations of the committee were finally adopted, and, on the proposition of Mr. Eckersley, it was decided to ask the Panteg and A hersycha.n Councils if they were prepared to re-consider the question of a joint sewage disposal scheme. Mr. J. C. Hall having resigned the captaincy of the fire brigade, the offer of services by Mr. J. M. Cope, of Bryngwyn, was accepted. The office is an unsalaried one. It was decided to have the circular prepared by Dr. Mason, the medical officer, as to the feeding of infants circulated in every home, it being thought that this would havo the effect of reducing the high infantile mortality I in the district.

SPORT OF THE DAY I Mr. John Gubbins's health has much im- proved, so he will not sell his yearlings this season, but intends to race them himself. Antonio's success in the Stockton Handicap entails an 81b. penalty for the Great Ebor Handicap, increasing his wei'bht to 8st. 131b. T. A. Foster, a jockey formerly identified with W. E. Elsey's stable, has just ridden seven winners cut of thirteen mounts at Durban. It is expected that certain proposals in con- nection with the starting difficulty will be considered by the Jockey Club at Newmarket on October 4. M. E. Blanc's Adam on his return from con- testing the Grand Prix at Deauville on Sun- day wat" found to be lame, and will not meet some immediate engagements. Lord Oadogtan's well-bred two-year-old Fru'squinette has left Dole's stable at Exton for Newmarket, where she wall be trained for future engagements by A. J. Gilbert. There is authority for stating that Mr. Richard Oroker hae not sold the fillies by St. Simon—'Tragedy, by Gallinule—Moira, and by Gall in-ule-'I'i(,rec,to Capt-ain Orr-Ewing. M. Merino's Flying Star, by Flying Fox— Sylphine, is the best two-year-old in France eo far. Flying Star is entered for the Episom Oaks, and this is her only English engage- ment. The two-year-old Ignorance, who was claimed by Mr. J. S. Jackison after a. narrow defeat by Avebury at Stockton, was subse- quently returned to Lord Westbury by arrangement. ]

STOCKTONMEETINa Starters and Selections. STOCKTON, Thursday Morning. Yesterday being market day at Stockton, and an interesting race being likely to be witnessed for the Jubilee Cup, there was a marked augmentation in the attendance on Mandate Bottoms yesterday afternoon. The weather was of a showery character, but the sport was aga.in good. The Cup was con- tested by a field of eight, of whom the Good- wood Plate winner, His Majesty, was through- out a warm favourite, with Bachelor's Button next in demand. His Majesty placed the trophy to the credit of Lord Derby, winning by a neck from Outbreak. Peter Jackson, on whom odds of 5 to 2 were betted for the Lambton Stakes, could only finish third, the Eugenia, colt winning by a head from Fara&i. And Lord Derby's colours were carried to the front for the third time during the afternoon by the aid of Persinus in the concluding race, the County Stand Handicap. The closeness of the finishes generally, and the brilliant riding of Maher were the outstanding features of the racing. Four of the seven races on the card were won by the narrow margin of a head, and a fifth by a neck. The principal item in the concluding day's programme is the Durham County Produce Stakes, for which Polymelus has been despatched from Kingsclere. Other likely competitors are White Star Line, Banana, and Sauterelle. The last named is greatly fancied on account of a 101b allowance, to which Banana also is entitled. White Star Line ran a, splendid race yesterday in the Cup. On the other hand, Polymelus is penalised to the extent of 9lib, and eo has much the worst of the weights. However, it will be a. matter of aiTrnriSift to me if n POLYMELUS I does not win easily. \inite Star Line may I run second. Other selections are as follow:— Thornaby Selling—GABARDINE. Wilton Welter—KILLIGREW. Billingham Selling—ItOCK THRUSH. Elton Plat-e-SNOW GLORY. M idd lesbrc u gh Welter-SCAREM.

I SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE. ABERDARE LOCK-OUT: TRIFLING DISPUTE. A dispute has arisen at the Nantmelyn Colliery (Bwliia No. 2), Aberdare, over a demand by the Mlaziagc-nent for the men to work haJf an hour, which, it is 6ta.!ed, is due to the company. On Wednesday about 600 men were in readiness to so down the shaft, but it is stated that they were stopped by the manager 'Mr. Edward Pugh), who asked them if they were going to work the half hour which, was owing to the company. After a confercnce at the top of the pit the men decided that the half hour waii not due. and informed the manage- ment that they would not work the time ask-ed. The manager explained that their refusal would mean that they would not be allowed to descend the ehaft-, with the result that the men left for their homes. The company pa-ted notices at the top of the colliery statins: that the men would not be allowed to de-cend. It is frtated. however, that the day men have decided to present themselves at the top of the pit this (Thurs- day) morning', but will not proceed to work unless the company give an assurance that the hall-hour in dispute will be waived.

A conference has been arranged between the representatives of the Cardiff dry dock owners and the men locked out, to be held at the Park Hotel, Cardiff, this (Thursday) afternoon. There wae no change in the posi- tion on Wednesday. In an interview Mr. Johnston described some of the clauses in the owners' new rules as "drastic," but declined to discuss them for fear that their publication might preju- dice the c:e of the men at the joint con- ference. The men held a mas meeing on Wcduee- I day night at St. David's-hall, Cardiff, when the situation was discussed at length. At the close, Mr. Johnston (men's representative: on being approached, courteously refused to communicate any information to the press. The other men were rlmo.t equally reticent, but the information wae gleaned from them that a decision had been come to to ballot I the men in the morning as to the advisability of accepting the Cardiff or Barry terms. The Cardiff men, it was stated, are willing to ¡ concede some points whilst the Barry men demur.
