JAPAN IS OPPOSED TO
KOREAN NEUTRAL ZONE

PARIS. Jan. Sit developed to-day that
the greatest difference between Russia and
Japan arises from the proposal made by
Russia that neutral zone shall be estab-
lished extending from Ping-Yang in Korea
on the south 10 the Russian frontier on the
north.
The Russian government has expressed
willingness to recognize the prepOnderatng
influence of Japan in the remainder OF
Korea, and the two powers are agreed re-
specting the principle OF the integrity OF
China and Korea. Japan. however, saw 10
reason why the proposed neutral zone
should be established, holding that the en-
tire peninsula should be subject 10 her pre-
ponderating influence.
The attitude OF Russia is believed 10 be
due 10 the fact that If Japan controls Korsa
menace Port Arthur as well as Nladivo-
stock

himself as confident that Russia IN her re-

CHANGE OF SENTIMENT
In Regard to Bristow's Report on

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-As the time ap-
proaches for the trial of some of the more
important of the postal fraud cases growing
out of the recent investigation, it becomes
apparent that there is revuision of feeling
against the report made by General Bris-
tow, but more especially against that made
by Attorneys Bonaparte and Conrad, who
passed on the minor irregularities in the
department dating back through the Nc
Kinley administration
While little doubt is expressed that the
more important cases will go against the
defendants, the impression prevails in Off
cial circles here, and especially in the
Postoffice Department, that the reports
made were altogether too severe in aleg-
ing guilt on the part of the officials who
We're in no way implicated, and leaving the
room for excuse by clerks and subOrdnates,
or even some of the higher officials who
came in for criticism in the reports.
An illustration of what is behind the
change in sentiment is furnished by the
disclosure in the department regarding an
interesting situation presented by Bona
parte and Conrad themselves while they
were engaged in scoring Heath, Castle
TraceWell, former Postmaster General
ment of vouchers which were not author
lied by law. 1t is claimed that although
the laws of the United States positively
prohibit the renting of rooms or buildings
in the city of Washington by any official
without previous authorization by law tina I
Attorneys BOnaparte and Conrad rented
rooms for their official convenience and
that two months rent was allowed by the
auditor before the matter was looked into
and found to be violation of the law and
stopped. This incident is pointed to by the
officials who have been criticised as evil
dence that even the great lawyers who
were called in by President Roosevelt to
pass on the legal points in the great in
Vesugatlon were guilty of nOdding when
ii came to legal propositions involving
matters of their personal comfort.
