DARE NOT SPEAK IT
BUT THE BRAINS OF JAPAN WOULD
LIKE TO TALK PEACE
Far Seeing Orientals See in Any Con-
tinental Conquests a Graver Re
sponsibility Than is Agreeable
Popular Clamor and Army and
Navy Too Strong 10 Resist.

Toxic, Dec. 6-per steamer City OF
Pekin. via San Francisco, Dec. 22.-If
the judgment of the most intelligent
and broad minded section Of the Japa-
nese community could be openly ex-
pressed il would be found already fav-
orable TO negotiations for peace. The
maj jority of the ministers OF the state
are thoroughly persuaded that no time
is likely to be more propitious than the
present for a settlement that shall
secure the greatest material advantage
to their country and at the same time
guarantee entire security for the fu-
ture. They believe that additional VIC
tories may have the effect of wringing
extensive territorial concessions from
their conquered adversary, but they
doubt the wisdom of assuming response
bility of continental administration
which may prove more hurdensome than
Japan can bear. But the military and
naval elements, supported by the mass
of the people are for the moment too
powerful to be resisted. No newspaper
has vet the courage to hint at a sus-
pension of hostiiities, and the govern
ment is not prepared TO stand against
such a storm of opposition as would be
provoked by a direct declaration or
opinion that the punishment and humn
iation of China had gone far enough.
But it is something TO know that the
warlike spirit is not supreme in the in
nermost councils of the empire and
that the most sagacious and experienc
ed members of the cabinet are ready To
welcome any occasion which will prom
ise peace upon the conditions essen
tial Japanese honor and safety.

EXAMINES THE SHORT LINE.
REPRESENTATIVE of Bondholders Commit

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 22.-G. W. Ristine
Of New York is in Omaha as an expert
to look into matters connected with the
Oregon Short line and Utah Northeiil; il'-I'; u; !;
Mr. Ristine. who is practical railroad

it is a part, in a word, to examine close

TO the Short Line. Mr.. Ristine refused
to saw ANYTHING as to the purpose OF
his visit to Union Pacific headquarters,
except that he represented another
party and was therefore bound "a
secrecy. He admitted that he came in

NOT ON THE PROGRAM.
Japanese Army on the March But Not
for Moukden.

Yokohama, Dec. 4, per steamer CITY
of Pekin, via San Francisco, Dec. o.
General Oyama left Port Arthur on
Dec. 1, moving northward towards Kin
Chow, which he reached on the second.
Sufficient force was detached from the
army to occupy the fortificatious. Cen
eral Oyamas 8 movements indicate a
purpose to march up Few Chow, q
town half way between Kin Chow and
New Chwang, but no definite an
nouncement of his plans has been made
public. Although Wei Hal Wei lies
virtually defenseless at the southern
side of the entrance TO the gulf or
Pechili, no steps towards its occupa-
ton have yet been taken. Chez Foo is
in a state of utter generalization so
far as the local authorities are concern
ed. When the fugitives from Port Ar
thur began to pout into town, accom-
panied by panic stricken runaways
from Wei Hal Wei, the Chinese officials
applied to the foreign consul for the
landing of a force from the ships OF
war, to defend the place from the ma
tive soldiery. The reports that num-
bers of Chinese were needlessly
slaughtered at Port Arthur received no
denial, but it should be stated that
although not contradicted, it does not
find a place in any of the official rec
ords of events. The march TO Mouk-
den appears to have been dropped out
the Japanese progrom.

CATARRH CURES.
An Ever.Inoreasins Host Of Witnesses

1t must be very common to hear peo-

A LOW PRICE
eceDf graduate OF the Keeley in

A recent graduate OF the Kelley in
stitute OF Kansas City, Kansas, set
small value upon himself when he re-
marked the other day that he would not
for 81 900 exchange his present feelings
for those Of a year ago. Back in the ftt-
ties this was but an ordinary price To
pay for likely male slave. and the val
ue OF freeman. as compared with that
OF a slave whether OF man or alcohoD
should greatly exceed such a sum.
even should this freeman be taken only
in the capacity Of a wage-earner. IL he
is not worth the price Of a slave, plus
far more than 81 900. he must be very
poor workman indeed, either with brain
or hand. When the average man re-
ceives his freedom from the Kelley cure
he receives the difference between the
earnings OF a sick man and one who is
strong and well; between what IS
paid to the man who cannot be trusted
and him who can. Restored sobriety.

is considerably less than nothing, while

the past three years the Keeley insti-

country, counting their value only at
the low price OF 81 600 each. Why
should one who has become enslaved

1t is now known almost positively
that the outlaws are in hiding some

fact that the deputy marshals are find

at any passer-by who h1ppenei along. they
spent the time sending messages to the

The vacillating sovereign was made to
