OPPOSED TO FOSTER.
The Japanese Want Peace at Once or They
Will Push 10 Pekin.

Washington, Jan. danger threatens
the peace negotiations between China
and Japan. 1t is not unlikely the ,Japa-
nese government will decline to make a
further postponement of the actual COM
mncement of negotiations to await the
arrival of John W. Foster, the Chinese
advisory counsel, ev n if possible arrange
ments for the settlement of the dispute
will have been completed by the time Mr.
Foster reaches Hiroshima, where the rep
resentatives of both warning powers will
meet.
The Chinese cannot ask for postpone
ment after the 22d. Two Chinese ambas-
sailors of peace expect to reach Hiroshima
Jan. 9, and the probabilities are that they
will be asked to begin negotiations with
out delay. The japanese government
will refuse, no doubt, to agree to temper
izing on the plea that Mr.. Foster has not
arrived and that the Chinese ambassadors
cannot proceed without his assistance.
1t may be stated with some degree of
positiveness that direct declination by
Chinese ENJOYS to begin negotiations until
Mr. Foster rcachesi Hipshima will result
in positive Disagreement and the break
ing off of the overhrss which will cause
the japanese forceSato pdsh their war
with greater vigor J9wagl the Chinese
capital In that event nd(bing short of
the fall Of Pekin IS likelyNto put an end
to hostilities. W
1t has been known for some time that
the Japanese government is suspicious of
the good faith of itsenelnies in their over
lures for the suspension of the war. The
Japanese police commissioners are not.

great discomfort of the people was that
tbey could not find employment by
which they could get hold of either.
Under Democratic Encouragement
every enterprise collapsed, and the toll
ing millions, who constitute the great
army of voters, suffered for the bare
necessaries of life. And hence Democ-

YOUR MISSION.

If you can not cross the ocean
In the swittest fleet,
You can stand among the sailors,
You can help the faint and weak.
IL you can not climb the mountain
Ana bring rich treasure nigh,
You can stand within tho valley
WhlIe the multitude pass by.
If you can not reap the richest sheaves,
Ana go out with sickle bright,
You can stand among tho Just
And labor for the right.
Then CLEAN amid the briars
That grow so rank and tall;
IL may be that the reapers
Have left the best of all.
If you fail in all your labor,
and the world IL still goes wrong.
You can ask your God to help Won
AS You struggle with the throng.
Yes, you must ever labor,
Though 1t often seems in vain,
You Will some day be rewarded,
You VIII surely something gain.
1t may not be while you are here.
Amid the sin and strife,
But in the land and life beyond
Where all is just and right.
If you can not be a soldier brave
And stand up ut the head,
You can bear away the wounded,
can cover up the dead.
Though roughly tossed upon the sea,
AND Ihe way seems dark n drear.
You may anchor in the harbor
