PEACE TALK CONTINUES.
Japan Evidently Willing to Discuss
Basis of Negotiations.


London. Gov, 1.-THE despatch from
Washington confirming the statement
made in these dispatches that Japan
had indicated her willingness to enter
tain peace suggestions from President
Roosevelt or King Edward created
much interest here. Japanese Minister
Hayshi said today: After the fall of
Port Arthur Japan would, believe, be
ready to treat for peace on no higher
essential basis than that Russia should
evacuate Japan agreeing to a similar
evacuation" The Associated Press
learns Queen Alexandria has been in
constant communication with Dowager
Empress of Russia and Emperor Mich
olas during the last few days. This is
interpreted here as hopeful and as
possibly likely to lead, tho not
In the immediate future, to the es-
tabishment of some modus vivendi
whereby steps looking to arbitation
might be initiated without offense to
Russia. Hayshi this morning had no
news from Port Arthur and discredited
the rumors of its capitulation.

STRAUSS MAKES A PREDICTION
Former Minister to Turkey Says Great
Britain Holds the Key to the situa-
tion and Points Out Basis for What
Should be Speedy Settlement Of the
War.

et. Petersburg, Nov. lit is con-
sidered significant that the Russian
newspapers ignore Lansdowne's sug-
gestion regarding Russo-Japanese ar
bitration. They appear to be more con-
cerned with his utterances on the sub
1ect OF punishment of the Russian ma
val officers concerned in the North
Sea incident, which they regard as pre-
mature. declaring it will be time
enough to talk of punishment when the
commission establishes their culpabil-
ity. The meeting OF representatives OF
provincial Zemstvos next week Is
attracting intense interest. Nothing
could better illustrate the change in
conditions In Russia than the freedom
with which newspapers are discussing
the internal conditions. The liberals
believe their flag has now been planted
and that the present movement cannot
be stopped.
New York, Nov. 11.--Former Minis
ter to Turkey Oscar S. Straus, member
Of The Hague tribunal, expresses the
belief that a sudden termination of
hostilities in the far east is possible in
the near future. Il have long had an
Impression" he said, that we Will
wake up some morning to find, thru the
good offices of Great Britain with the
tacit consent Of the signatory powers
to tho treaty Of Berlin that an arrange
ment has been agreed upon by which
the near eastern and far eastern cues
tions have been settled by one stroke.
THAT Is to say, Russia will have come
to an agreement with Great Britain,
and secondarily with the sfgnatory
powers, for having free access to the
sea through the Dardnaelles, in return
for which permanent adjustment of the
Afghan boundary and Great Britain's
domination OF the Persian gulf will be
granted, and that in the far east Jap
anese sphere of influence will be re-
cognized in Korea, while Manchuria
with certain rights to Japan secured,
will revert to China. This done the
peace OF the world will be insured
certainly for our generation and by
that time the nations will have become
80 accustomed to availing themselves
Of the Hague tribunal that wars will be
largely elin1ina ted"

Success Of the "EIectric Mule"

In it's last session the New York leg
islature appointed a joint legislative
committee to investigate the subject of
electric towage Of canal boats. For
two weeks past some very interesting
and successful tests of the electric

canal at Schnectady for the benefit of

of the larger engineering interest at
taching to these tests was the presence
of representatives of the Panama canal
commission, the director of railways
and canals of Germany and many en-
gineers of national and international
reputation The electric mule" is sim
ply development Of the trolley prin-
ciple. differing from the trolley motor
only in the fact that the wheels grip
the under side Of steel rails instead of
running alon gtheir surface. The troll
lev mule" takes the current from a
trolley wire thru a trolley pole. and
pulls the canal boat by means of long
fow]ine The demonstrations consist
ed of hauling three canal boats. carry
insa total burden of SIG tons. Another
test was a total weight of IS0 tons. and
a third test was 1896 tons. Other tests
consisted of overtaking and passing
boats drawn by animals with the "elec-
tric mule" AS the tests were highly
successful there is little doubt that the
electric towing device is destined to
work a revolution in canal Transporter
ton in this country and Europe.
