II Peace Proposals are Made at Once,
She Will Accept
FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS YEN,
And the Cession Of the Territory
Now Occupied By the Japanese
Armies-There is Not Likely to
Be Much Done in the Interior,
and the Japanese Will Prob
ably Attack the Populous Parts
of China.

YoKoHoMA, December 3.-According to
the semi-oflcial press japan has decided
to insist upon heavy conditions of peace
which will be increasedsas the war is pro-
longed. II the war was concluded at the
present time, Japan would accept an in
demnity of 4OO, ,O0O, 600 yen and the cession
of the territory now occnpied by her
troops.
Too much weight should not be attached
to the Chinese overtures for peace, for 1t IS
believed that Japan will be requested to
give her enemy further proof OF the power
of Japan, in order that the Chinese peo-
plemay learn that their government sued
for peace.
IfTaku and Shan Hal Kwan cannot be
attacked this winter owing TO the severity
Of the climate, the war will be carried on
in other populous parts OF China. NO
armistice will be granted unless emma
formally sues for peace and surrenders
Pekin to the Japanese or gives other
pledges in proportion TO the demands OF
Japan.
If China is unable to pay the war in
demnity Immediately portion OF the sum
decided upon paid down will be accepted
and the remainder may be paid in Install
ments with interest.
1t must, however, be stipulated that the
power Of Japan is regarded as absolute,
and then there will be no further opposi-
tion to the conclusion of peace.

gress was read to-day, and is as follows:
To the Congress Of the United States:
The assemblage within the nations legis-
lative halls Of those charged with the duty
of making laws for the benefit Of a generous
and free people impressively suggests the
exacting obligation and inexoraole respon-
sioility involved in their task. AT the
Threshold Of such labor now TO DO under
taken by the Congress OF the United
States, in the discharge of an executive
duty, enjoined by the constitution. | sub
init the communication containing brief
statement Of the condition Of our national
affairs and recommending such legislation
as seems 10 mo necessary and expedient.
The history Of our recent dealings with
other nations and our peaceful relations
with them AZ this time, additionally dem
onstrate the advantage Of consistently adj
herring to firm but Just foreign policy,
free from envious or ambitious schemes
aud characterized by entire honesty and
sincerity.
During the past year, pursuant 10 law
OF Congress, commissioners were appoint
ed 10 the Antwerp Industrial Exposition.
Though the participation Of American ex-
hibitors fell far short Of completely illus
trating our national ingenuity and indus
trial achievements, vet II was quite credit
able in view Of the brief time allowed for
preparation.
