WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-Russia is
unwilling to join the powers in a
second peace conference at The Hague
until her war with Japan is ended.
The Russian reply to Secretary Hay g
circular note to the powers Of Octo.
Der %, last, inviting them in the anne
OF the president to re-assemble in
conference at The Hague, was received
today.
The ambassador was requested by
his government to say that Russia
heartily accepted in principle the in
vitation to second conference at
The Hague and readily associated
herself to the American government
to complete the mission of the first as
sembly convened under the leadership
of the Russian emperor.
The ambassador was further re.
quested to say that while the Russian
government very sincerely cherished
these views it did not consider the
moment opportune for the convening
of such a conference, and it therefore
must withhold its formal acceptance
of the invitation until the war in the
far east was at an end.

There had been no fighting at all

to imagine easier money than the IS
which she receives weekly for her
dwarf cattle" The rearing of fancy
mice involves little or NO work, and
the proceeds are for the most part pure
gain. She has at her home part of
large room partitioned OF. and the
floor covered with straw and earth.
This is her mouse farm. It must be
cleaned now and tLen and new straw
and earth put IN for the mice, but aside
from this her only care is to feed them
twice per day and keep their basin full
of fresh water. The mice increase at
such a rapid rate that by selling so ev-
cry week she is able to keep the num-
Der down to about the original limits.

They did pull him around. In an hour
Wing Shee had revived. But he was so
unnerved that they had to keep him at
the hospital for awhile. They said they
would let him go in the morning. He
nodded somewhat drowsily. "All light"

starts and twitches. It may have been

One evening, about dusk, the great
Fang Ho was gliding down the street
toward the home of little 70 King. He
placed his hand upon the door knob,
when suddenly, out Of the gloom, a

hand upon Fang Hos arm. Fang Ho

disturbed; it laughed gently in its orien-
tai way and then stepped into Yo Kings
home. Inside was the sound of weeping.
It was the diminutive Yo King mourn
ing for the death Of the young Wing
Shee. Wing Shee looked into room.
She was alone. He glided in, placed a
very material arm about her and raised
her head She gave one startled glance
and would have cried out but for the
fact that Wing Shee was stufang pa

they disappeared into the night.
The yellow journals, which heralded
the first Chinese suicide, now proclaimed
what seemed to be second one. For
little Yo King went and she never came
back. Where is she now? No one
knows But Mrs Wing Shee, the dimin-
utive, may possibly be able to tell.
