JAPAN DESIRES \
United States and Great Britain inN-
ious to Step In When Both BcliSEer-
erts Signify their Willingness to
Come to Terms.

London, Nov. 1.-THE dispatch Of
confirming the statement made in these
dispatches that Japan had indicated
her willingness to entertain peace sug-
gestions from President Roosevelt or
King Edward, created much interest
here. Baron Hayashi. the Japanese
minister, said today:
After the fall of Port Arthur. Japan
would, l believe, be ready to treat for
peace on no higher essential basis h
that Russia should e~vacuate Manchu-
ria. Japan also agreeing to a similar
evacuation. The two great difficulties
in the way of any suggestion of peace
are, first, the apparent opposition of
Emperor Nicholas present advisers %
a settlement of any kind; second, the
preservation of Russian prestige. When
a nations 4 stige, of not gone, is Sc
verely impaired, it is a difficult matter
even with the best of intentions to pre-
serve it."
The Associated Press learns that
Queen Alexandria has been in constant
communication with the Dowager En-
press of Russia and Emperor Nicholas
himself during the last few days. This
is interpreted here as a hopeful sign
and as possibly likely to lead, though
not in the immediate future, to the es-
~tablishment of some Modus Vivendi
whereby steps looking to arbitration
might be interpreted without offence
to Russia.
The reiteration of the American state
departments determination not to IN
erVane eXceDt on requests from both Of
the belligerents tallies with the official
attitude of the British government, buc
it is thought that before long some
method NAV privately be devised
whereby this diplomatic barrier to ac-
ton will be overcome.

MAY REVIVE SQUARE PIANO.

lVeness Of Tone

Recent Improvement Adds to Effect.
lVeness Of Tone
Perhaps tho square piano will come
into vogue again now that Mrs. John
Mitchell Clark of New York has dis
covered that a piano top, shaped like
the upper side Of a brass viol, adds
great clearness and resonance to the
tone Of the instrument The top IS
concaVO within, something like the
roof Of the human mouth, and It
serves the purpose of collecting and
distributing tone. 1t is a tone re-
hector, IN fact; and, since the tones
are not exaggerated. but simply col
lected and carried, this invention
seems particularly adapted to the
heavily curtalned drawing room.
When the plano is closed this lid
shuts upon 1t like a shell, having
much the effect Of the Louis XIV. fur.
nituro. eliminating forever the posi-
bility Of the instrument being used as
q depository for bric-a-brac.
