BY HOUSE OF PEERS

Toxic, Dec. 2.-London Times.)-
The house of yesterday adopt
ed the following resolution:
Since the country's armies entered
Manchuria their strategy has been ex-
cellent, their fighting gallant and their
loyalty, strength and vigor conspicu-
ous. They have never lost a battle
or quailed before a difficulty.
. "In the south they are reducing the
fortress of Port Arthur and in the
north they conquered at Lao Yang
by their great efforts. The war has
been carried on strenuously and the
country's prestige enhanced at home
and abroad. This house, expressing
its admiration for the exploits of the
Manchurian armies, tenders them the
sincerest thanks"
An address to the navy was also
framed, which reads as follows:
"Since the country's combined
squadrons went into active service
tho have achieved great successes in
repeated combats and have shown
conspicuous loyalty, valor and ability,
especially at Port Arthur, at Ulsan
Bay and in the Sova Strait. Through
the long months they have maintained
the blockade at Port Arthur, Drawing
all hardships, dischsfgiHg every duty
adopting the wisest strategy and dis
playing incompatible efficiency. They
have well nigh destroyed the enc.
my's fleet in Far Eastern waters and
enhanced the country's prestige at
home and abroad. This house ex
presses its admiration for the exploits
of the combined squadrons and ten
ders them its sincerest thanks"

RUSSIA is READY TO. listen "
TO ANY PEACE PROPOSALS
That Japan May Have TO Make, and Will Be Ready
to Sue For Peace When Port
Arthur Falls.
IS LOOKING FOR AN ALLIANCE WITH JAPAN

Naturally, Russia will consider her
friendship sufficiently great gift to
expect the Japanese to refrain from
the permanent occupation of Port Ar
thur, from special rights in Korea
and from other privileges which are
set down in the Japanese peace pro-
gram of today as Indispensable. Dip
lomats here are confident that the
mikado and his advisers will take
the same view. The strength of the
argument that armed peace between
the two nations would be constant
menace TO the prosperity of both,
while an offensive and defensive ALI.
ance would assure both great future
is considered incontrovertible. The
czar's advisers know fun well thai
Japan does not trust China and that
Great Britain's friendship Is believed
by many leading Japanese to be the
outgrowth Of Russian hatred and not
of love for the little yellow men"
No details Of the plan to be follow.
ed In the attempt to bring about peace
are obtainable just yet, but the pro
gram is being worked out with care
and according to the informant Of the
Publishers Press correspondent II
provides for all possibilities. 1t pro
vides for peace by mediation on the
part of foreign power; for peace
through a Japanese offer and foI
peace by means of Japanese pro
posal. The contingencies of Port Ar
thurs fall as well as of the rescue o.
the fortress by the Baltic fleet arc
provided for as minutely as are those
of victories and defeats south of Muk
den. but the final chapter of 1t all, the
point to which all these lines con
verge, is an alliance of such iror
bound ties that Russia and Japan will
stand as one If any other power at
tempts one step in the Far East which
does not equally please the ozar anS
mikado.

SClNTlLLATINC CLEANS
FROM A WOMAN'S EYES
Did Not Loosen Purse Strings in Canton-Mrs.
Chadwick Was in the City Several Times.

Since it has been discovered that
Mrs. Chadwick, the great woman
financier, secured large loans from
various banks by some occult or mys-
terious persuasive power, it has be-
come the popular thing for bankers
all over the state to say that she visit
ed them and wanted TO negotiate
loans, but they looked her in the eye
without being overcome by the scin-
tillating CLEANS that came out from
under the dark lashes.
There is story going that she Wis
tied Canton, Massillon and Alliance
and attempted to get cash from each
proportionate TO the population. In
Canton she wanted the modest sum OF
100000; in Massillon $75,000: in ALI,
ance $4,000. These cities may perhaps
resent the classification, but rejoice
that she did not get even the smaller
amounts.

"F00LNLLER'S" VOYAGE
CAME TO DISASTROUS END.
Frozen and Battered Body of Peter Nissen Picked
Up on the Michigan Shore Chilled by
Lake Winds.
HIS STRANGE CRAFT WAS BADLY WRECKED

Chicago, Dec. Peter Nissen, who
essayed to cross Lake Michigan in his
balloon shaped, air-filled canvas craft
the "Foolkiller" was found this af-
ternoon on the Michigan shore, froz
en- to death, with his strange inven-
ton floating nearby, half filled with
water.
The point where the body was found
-Stevensville, Mich.--is about Is miles
south of st. Joseph. Nissen started at
3 p. m. Tuesday and on Wednesday
just before dusk the craft was sighted
off Burlington, Ind, so it must have
drifted a considerable distance before
finally being thrown on the low. sandy
Michigan beach
Nissen's hands and face were frozen
the body was scratched and bruised
and it was evident he had been tossed
and iolted about the framework of the
"Fool-killer," either before or after
death, until It was finally elected int
the open water through a broken port
hole.
The body was discovered tossing OF
the waves a few feet from the shore

Cleveland. e. L.
.OBERL|N HAS FAITH

Cleveland, o.. Dec, with all sorts
of rumors floating about, Cleveland
Is as much In the dark about the
Chadwick affair as 1t was a week ago
There is a general inclination here to
doubt the statement that Mrs. Chad
wick will settle. for none who know Of
her transactions can figure out how or
where she can obtain the money.
II she has the fortune that her at
torney claims is hers, why should she
need to borrow money from every
available source? For every hour the
news comes in of some other point
wheCe she has attempted during the
past year to secure loans OF amounts
from $4,000 to 100000. The bank
ers here who know the real facts
about the securities refuse to talk
The same secrecy is now being main
tanned at Oberlin, though President
Beckwith said tonight that he had q
telegram from Pittsburg stating that 6
representative of Mrs. Chadwick would
be there Friday to settle the claims OF
the bank. To this straw the directors
of the closed bank are .clinging to.

That arrests may come very soon is
openly limited at today. The federal
authorities here are investigating and

A faith that would move mountains
is shown by the people Of the little

where nearly every person is affected
by the transactions of this woman
there are few who do not believe all
will be adjusted.

the railway police near Chingwanto

st. Petersburg, Dec. IA report
which comes from an unimpeachable
source has reached the Publishers
Press correspondent that Russia Is
not only ready TO receive any peace
proposal Japan may have to make, but
that, with the fall of Port Arthur she
will be ready to sue for peace. This
is the situation today, notwithstand-
ing the swashbuckling attitude OF
those who claim to frame the empires
policy and will be the situation right
along even If this and subsequent
statements to this effect were to be
officially denied. Before the world at
large Russia cannot afford just now
to appear tired of the struggle and
sceptical as to its outcome. But dip
lomatic circles are permitted to know
the truth and Russia's representatives
all over the civilized world have re-
ceived strong intimation that sincere
and authoritative offers Of meditation
must not be treated lightly In the
future.
that Russian considers that the con-
flict is entirely hopeless. There are
bound to be some Russian victories
in Manchuria and the general belief
is that they will come soon owing to
the fact that Field Marshal the Mar.
quis Oyama has been compelled to
part with large bodies Of his troops
In order to hasten the fall Of Port
Arthur. But Russia has far eastern
interests of much greater Importance
than even the possession of Port Ar.
thur, and as these interests have been
attacked in the past by Great Britain
and China alike, she is In dire need
of an ally. This ally will be japan,

carry. The battles of today are to be
followed by close ties of commercial
