BARON HAYASHI TALKS.
Does Not Think Japan Is Ready to
Treat for Peace

Treat for Peace.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE dispatch
from Washington confirming the state
ment made that Japan had indicated
her willingness to entertain peace sug-
King Edward created much interest
here. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
Minister said to-day:
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 Man.
churia, Japan also agreeing to a similar
evacuation. The two great difhcultles
in the way of any suggestion of peace
are, first, the apparent opposition OF
Emperor Nicholas present advisers to
settlement of any kind; second, the
preservation of Russian prestige. When
nations prestige, if not gone, is
severely impaired it is a difficult mat
ter, even with the best of intentions, TO
preserve it,
1t is learned that Queen Alexandra
has been in constant communication
with the Dowager Empress of Russia
and Emperor Nicholas himself during
the last few days.
The reiteration of the American State
Department determination not to in
tervene except on request from both of
the belligerents tallies with the official
attitude of the British Government, but
it is thought that before long some
method may privately be devised
whereby this diplomatic barrier to ac-
tion may be overcome.
Baron Hayashi this morning had no
news from Port Arthur and discred1ted
the rumors of it's capitulation.

CONFIDENTLY EXPECTS PEACE
Member of The Hague Tribunal Be-
Iieves HostiIities Will Soon End.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Former Min
lister to Turkey Oscar S. Straus, a
member of The Hague tribunal, ex-
presses the belief that a sudden ter
mination of hostilities in the Far East
is possible in the near future.
4 have long had the impression" he
said that we will wake up some
morning and find that through the
good offices of Great Britain, with the
tacit consent Of the signatory powers
to the treaty of Berlin, an arrangement
has been agreed upon by which the
Far Eastern questions have been set
tied by one stroke. That is to say,
Russia will have come to an agreement
with Great Britain and secondarily
with the signatory powers, for having
free access to the sea through the Dar-
danelles in return for which a perma-
nent adjustment of the Afghan boun-
dairy and Great Britain's domination
of the Persian Gulf will be granted and
that in the Far East Japan's sphere of
influence will be recognized 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 genera
ton and by the end of that time the
nations will have become so accus-
toned to availing themselves of The
Hague tribunal that wars will be large
ly eliminated"

SAYS WAR MUST GO ON.
Russian OniciaI Says Controversy Can
not Be Arbitrated.

not Be Arbitrated.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. lit is
considered significant that the Russian
newspapers ignore Lord Lansdowne's
suggestion regarding Russo-Japanese
arbitration. They appear to be more
concerned with his utterances on the
subject of the punishment of the Rus
sian naval officers concerned in the
North Sea incident, which they regard
as premature, declaring that it will
be time enough to talk Of punishment
when the commission establishes their
culpability.
Referring TO Lord IsansdOwne's arbi-
tratiOn suggestion, a prominent official
of the Foreign Office expressed the
opinion to-day that such an offer, even
coming from Japan. could not poSsi-
bly, be accepted.
Such a controversy" he said, can
not be arbitrated- The idea is not
worth considering. We believe the war
has reached the turn of the tide, and
il must go on. The only possibility
OF peace now, in my opinion, would be
on the basis of a proposition submit
ted to Russia by Japan Offering to ac-
cept less than she demanded before
hostilities opened. AS it is inconceiv-
able that Japan at this juncture is
prepared TO offer such terms, / see no
chance Of ending the war"
Paris dispatches published here say
that the French Government expressly
excluded the intention Of intervening
when II proposed its good offices fol-
the settlement Of the North Sea dis
pute.

STOESsEL STILL HOLDS OUT.

No Confirmation of the Reported
CapituIation of Port Arthur.
LONDON, Nov. 11.-No confrma-
ton has reached London of the rumors
current on November 10 of the capitu-
lation of Port Arthur; that General
Stoessel was asking for an armistice,
etc.
According to the Daily Telegraph's
ChefQ correspondent Japan has con-
sented to open the port of Antung to
steamers chartered by silk merchants
when the latter obtain special permits.
This action is due to China's protest
that exclusion of neutral shipping
would ruin the silk trade.

HARRISON HAS ENOUGH.
Decision Against Running for Mayor
in Chicago Splits Party.

in Chicago Splits Party.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-In the light of
the election returns from this city, it
was authoritatively announced to-day
that Magor Harrison has abandoned
all ambition that he may have had for
a fifth term. The statement came from
a source so close to the city admins
tration that it is not questioned by
the local Democratic leaders, who are
turning their attention to the forma-
tion of plans for the spring election.
The strongest indication that the
Mayor no longer has any intention of
seeking reelection is found in the
fact that his closest supporters are
looking for a candidate to offset the
municipal ownership movement. Clar-
ence Darrow and Judge Dunno are
both in the field, the former after the
Mayors political scalp, and the latter
as leader of the Hearst municipal
ownership wing of the local faction.
Corporation Counsel Tolman was put
forward to-day by the City Hall forces
as an available man for the Mayors
friends to groom for the Mayoralty
nomination, not so much with a view
to his election as for the purpose of
holding the City Hall following intact
and defeating the extreme municipal
ownership faction of the party. To
those familiar with the situation this
move means only one thing-that there
will be two candidates against the Re-
publican nominee for Mayor. Unless
conditions change materially it makes
certain the election of the Republican
nominee

FRANCE REGARDS PEACE
CONFERENCE WITH FAVOR
VIII Take Some Time, However, to
Decide What Questions May
Be Considered

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE American prop
osition for another meeting of The
Hague Peace Conference is attracting
marked attention, the newspapers de-
claring that the election of President
Roosevelt gives it additional signifi-
canoe. Frances response has not been
made, but the officials say that the gen.
eral principle of the meeting is ac
ceptable, although it will take some
time to consider what questions shall
be brought forward.
Foreign Minister Delcasse's confer
ence with ambassador Porter showed
that the Minister was most sympa-
thetic in regard to the proposition,
which he considered to be in the line of
Frances policy of establishing under
standings and making arbitration
treaties.

WANTS MAN FROM SOUTH.
Hay Of Virginia Says 1t Should Fur
nish Next Candidate.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ill think
the time has come for the South to as
sert itself and refuse any longer to fol-
low the dictates of the Northern De-
mocracy," said Representative James
Hay of Virginia to-day, one of the
Democratic leaders of the House.
"One result of this election will be
that the South will no longer refrain
from asking representation upon the
national ticket If two Southern men
had been nominated at ST. Louis the
result could not have been worse. In
fact, believe that Missouri and Mary
land would have been found in the
Democratic column instead Of the Re-
publican. I am in favor Of Southern
man for President in 1908, and I be-
lieve that every Southern State will
demand this recognition when the time
comes to nominate q standard bearer
