Other officials hesitate to recommend

SHUT OUT FROM MAILS.
Fraud Orders Issued Affecting a
ST. Paul Concern.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Fraud or
ders were today issued to the post
masters at st. Paul, Pittsburg and

Now What VIII Russia Do to En-
force Demands.

force Demands.
LONDON, April 26.-Direct and
positive information from official
sources is at hand concerning the ex-
act negotiations between Russia,
France and Germany on one hand
and Japan on the other. The Rus
sian, French and German ministers
separately interviewed the Japanese
vice minister for foreign affairs under
instructions from their respective gov
ernmentS and presented memoran-
dums in which it was stated that the
governments of Russia, France and
Germany upon examining the terms
of peace imposed by Japan upon
China have found that the possession
of the peninsula of Liza Tong, claimed
by Japan, would be constant menace
to the capital of China and at the
same time would threaten the inde-
pendence of Corea and render it nom
effective in fact. In this sense and
for other reasons, it would be, it was
stated, a constant menace to the per-
manent peace of the far East. Con-
sequently the governments Of France,
Russia and Germany, desiring to
show their sincere friendship for the
government of Japan, advises it to
renounce the absolute and final pos
session of the peninsula of Lila Tong.
The memoranda of the three govern
ments make it plain that they were
presented in the way of friendly adj
vice to the Japanese government,
and are not intended in any way to
convey any open or
COVERT MENACE.
The impression is gaining ground
that Japan can rely upon the friend
ly counsel of the United States at
the present moment. The govern
ments of Great Britain and Italy
have made it plain that they do
not intend to follow the example of
Russia, France and Germany, and
the great commercial interests of the
United States in the far East, which
the Japanese-Chinese treaty OF. peace
would largely benefit, no less than
the constant attitude of the United
States toward Japan lead diplomates
" OSISNS lIldl liIS OHllSQ I1lSo at
this juncture will not fail to make
such use of its good. offices as will
prevent Japan from being deprived
of the fruits of her victory.
The treaty of peace has already
been sanctioned by the emperor of
Japan, and it would be extremely
difficult to make any change. The
only effect of the attitude of Rus
sia, France and Germanyrmust be to
encourage the party in China which
Us opposed to any moderate and rea-
sonable settlement, and thus to pro-
long the war Indefinitely.
1t may be stated in the most pos
tive terms that the reports thus far
circulated regarding Japan's reply
to the powers are not correct. The
reply had not been sent as late as the
evening of the 26th, and from init
nations received from the highest
and most reliable sources here it
may be stated that the reply, while
moderate and conciliatory in tone,
will not contain any recession from
what Japan regards as rightfully her
due.
