 The propositions which the United States has submitted to all other coun- tries, briefly stated, are these:
 That Russia and Japan confine their fighting to Korea and Manchuria.
 That the neutral powers guarantee to Russia and Japan that China shall take no part in the war.
 That China's integrity be preserved by making it impossible for her to give either combatant an excuse to seize any part of her empire and by notify ing Russia and Japan that China's in tegrity must be respected during and after the war.
 Encourag ging replies have been sent from the Berlin and London govern ments to Secretary of State Hays proposition.
 After addressing Germany, Great Britain and France Secretary Hay sent the same note to the other powers sig. natory to the peace protocol of 1900 including Austria Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain, and finally he addressed the combatant Russia and Japan, inviting their coop eration in the support of the principle Cor which this government stands

 PARIS, Feb. 1.-The overtures of the United States government to the powers for preserving the neutrality and integrity of China during and aft CT the hostilities between Russia and Japan are attracting widespread atten- tion. United States Ambassador Por- ter has conferred at length with For eign Minister Delcasse. The results have not been made public, but the general situa tion is as follows:
 It does not appear probable that an accord of the powers can be reached at the present time owing to differ ences of views and the concentration of attention upon the actual events of the war.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.--One of the officers of the battleship Missouri, which has been engaged in target prac- tice off the Chesapeake capes, came to the navy department with a remarka- ble statement. He said that one of the twelve inch guns, being elevated seven degrees, let fly a shell which the stron- gest glass could not follow to the end of it's flight. Later a passing steamer reported that the shot had struck the sea within 300 yards of her. The steamer was distant from the Missouri just fifteen miles.

Saving Steps at the Exposition.

With all the sights to be seen at the
Worlds Fair-mles Of streets to cover,
acres of buildings to visit and thousands
of exhibits to inspect-a saving of steps
and an economy of time are essential to
a successful visit.
A place Of rest and recreation in the
midst of all the wonders Of the Fair,
where the tired sight-seer can find ref
uge at any hour or after the day of ex-
ploration, is hardly to be imagined pos
sible, but such luxury has been provid-
ed at the Inside Inn.,
This is splendid hotel in the EXPOSE
ton enclosure, where accommodations
are to be had at rates nolhigher than OBJ
tainable on the outside and including the
daily admittance OF the guest to the priv
lleges OF the Worlds Fair.
In the morning when the visitor arises
the great sights of the Exposition lie just
without his window and at all times of
the day the Inside Inn is there to afford
him homelike reception. Away from
the crowds, no street cars to wait for and
no delay at the gates to buy tickets, the
guest at the Inside Inn has all of his time
to devote to the pure pleasure of Sight
seeing and has none OF the annoying dis
fractions.
