Neutral Zone In Corea Greatest Diff
ference Between Them.
Paris Jan. ct has developed that
the greatest difference between Russia
and japan arises from the proposal
made by Russia that a neutral zone
shall be established, extending from
Ping-Yang. in Corea, on the south, 10
the Russian frontier on the north.
The Russian government has eX-
pressed a willingness to recognize the
preponderating influence of Japan I'm
the remainder of Corea. and the two
powers are agreed respecting the prin-
ciDle Of the integrity OF China and
OF Corea. Japan, however, saw no rea-
son why the proposed neutral zone
should be established. holding that the
entire peninsula should be subject 10
her preponderating influence.
The attitude of Russia is believed 10
be due TO the fact that if Japan con-
trolls Corea she will thereby be able
to more easily menace Port Arthur,
as well as Vladiyostock.
The diplomat who gave out the fore
going information expressed himself
as confident that Russia in her reply
to Japan will give way on this vital
point.

Four Held In Chicago For Destroying
Evidence Of Neglect After Fire.
Chicago. Jan. 6.-Attorneys of the
fire department caused the arrest OF
four employees OF the Fuller Construc-
ton Company-Dayid Jones, a mason
~ foreman, and Angus Mckay Otto
Rausch and John Kingston. iron work
ers-in connection with the inyestlga-
ton of the Iroquois theatre fire.
Jones and his men are charged with
breaking the skylights on the theatre
after the fire, I'm order 10 destroy pos
sible evidence. It developed. after the
arrest OF Jones and his men. that the
skyIights were blocked by scantlings
and tied with wire TO prevent their
opening. and that neither Of them had
been opened since the theatre was
built. Jones was asked why he went TO
the roof OF the theatre, and replied
that he had been told that the north
wall had been cracked in the fire and
went to see il IT was true lie de-
clared he had loosened the skyights
because he feared they might fall
through and injure somebody on the
stage.
"Why did you take three iron work
ers with you To inspect brick wall?
asked Attorney Fukerson, Of the fire
department.
Jones was confused. but finally an
swered that the men went with him
through curiosity. He admitted that
the iron workers helped him open the
skylights and worked with him about
the roof for half an hour. He denied
that he had used any tools in forcing
open the skylights. but this statement
was denied by George Mueller, who
witnessed the breaking open OF the
skylights from a window adjoining the
building Mueller declared that the
men carried and made use of crow
bar and a hammer. Numerous wit
nesses who were in adjoining buildings
overlooking the theatre testified that
the skylights were not open during the
fire.
Life insurance companies object 10
the statement OF the coroner that no
verdict will be rendered after the in.
quest. claiming that large sums OF
money in insurance on the lives OF
those who persisted in the theatre fire
depend for their payment on the yer
dict OF the coroners jury. And attor-
neys for the relatives OF those who
died declare that a verdict should be
given in each particular case Of death
in order that collections Of insurance
may be possible.

st. Petersburg, Jan. EN- her reply
to Japan, Russia made great conces-
sions, and hopes her proposals will
prove acceptable to Japan.
The foreign office says instructions
have been sent to Viceroy Alexief on
which the reply was based. The latter
was drawn up m the most conciliatory
spirit. Some of the Japanese propo-
sails were accepted, while others were
made the subject of extended obser.
vations and were met by counter pro
posals.
There are strong hopes in many cir
Giles that on Thursday next. the Rus
sian Christmas, the Car may be able
TO announce that peace is assured.
The statement made by the foreign
Office regarding the instructions sent
to Viceroy Alexieff was communicated
to the British foreign Office and to the
japanese legation. They both eX-
pressed pleasure at the fact that Rus
STA had evinced such a friendly atti-
tude. but they said no definite conclu'
sons could be drawn until the nature
of the contemporaries was known.
The Japanese legation reiterated that
the cardinal points of the Japanese
proposals admitted of no counter-pro
posals. and said that If serious points
were Included among those accepted
there was a possibility Of reaching a
settlement by further negotiations.
