JAP.N WOULD TAKE LESS.
Indications That She is Not Rising to the
Russian Bluff.


Washington, May Authorization re-
ceived here today goes to show that
Japan has abated her claims to Chin
ese territory somewhat. Her demand
now is for the absolute cession of the
extremity of Port Arthur peninsula as
far north as and including Ia Lien
Wan. In return for this relinquish-
ment of territory Japan will demand
considerable increase in the war in
demnity. 1t is feared that the conces-
sion will not be sufficient to meet the
demand of Russia. 1t is felt that the
situation is critical and that Japan's
last concession will not alleviate it,

New York, May A special to the
World from Toxic says: Japan's re-
ply to the protest of Russia, France
and Germany against taking from
China the Lao Tung peninsula is, in
substance this:
When China ratifies the treaty of
peace at Shimoneski. Japan will re-
nounce possession of the province of
Manchuria except that part of Lao
Tung peninsula extending from Port
Arthur to Talien. In compensation for
! the giving back of this Chinese terri

Saved from Perjury.

In case before n Paris court, in
which popular actress has had to ap-
pear as a witness, the judge seems to
have shown considerable difidence
about asking the lady, as he was in
duty bound to do, what was her age.
Evidently he considered that such
question, put to witness, would be a
direct Indictment to perjury, so he
asked her her age before she had been
sworn. How old are you, madam p"
he said. After little hesitation, the
lady owned to being twenty-nine years
of age. And now that you have told
the court your age" continued the gall
liant Judge, you swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth. and nothing but
the truth
