Powers Concerned In the Peace If the Far
East May Soon Take Step In the
Direction OF Mediation.

Paris. Jan. 14.--No action has yet
been taken In the direction Of media
ton between Russia and Japan, but
1t is learned that the powers DESTROYS
OF peace in, the far east are consider
ing the desirability Of such q step.
Whether the proposed action will be
joint or independent remains to be de-
termined. Thus far the representa-
tons which Great Britain has made
to Japan and which France has made
to Russia have been in the way Of
advice that some pacific means be
found for determining the dispute
rather than in the direction Of media
ton. 1t was stated positively yester-
day that no representations Of media
tory character had yet been submitted,
nor was 1t expected that anything Of
the kind would be done until after
the contents Of the Japanese reply to
the latest Russian note had become
known.

yesterday afternoon and asked, on be-
half Of the federation, that the troops
be withdrawn from Teller and San
Miguel counties; that the vagrancy
order be rescinded and that the men
who have been deported from those
counties be permitted to return home.
Gov. Peabody assured the committee

prevailing will permit the recall Of all
soldiers, except q small provost guard.
within very few days. The guard
will be maintained emily long enough
to demonstrate that the present peace
full conditions are permanent The
vagrancy order, the governor said, was
never intended to apply to law-abiding
men who desire to work and will not
be enforced against them. The de-
ported men, the governor declared,
