VIEWS ON MEDIATION.
French Do Not Attach Significance to
Meeting of Sovereigns.

PARIS IJuIy 1.-The French authorities
do not attach significance to the meetne VI
Emperor William and King Edward at hlei
a, bearing on the Russo Japanese war.
They regard 1t as mere friendly exchange
~ views between the monarchs, which Is
not likely to have important political ef-
feet.
Inquiries from the Washington govern
ment relative to the prospects or meulation
in the war brought out definite expires.
sion in belief from the French officials that
neither party desired mediation.
Information reaching the government
here indicates that Russia clings to the idea
of restoring her prestige by decisive VIC
tory before entertaining mediation. Japan
appears to be more susceptible to media
ton, but this has not yet assumed ofnciai
form.
Foreign Minister Delcasse and Ambassa-
dor Porter have gone over the situa ton
fully lately leading them to the conviction
that the present situation IL more likely to
bring forth a decisive battle than medita-
ton.
Mediation Discussed at Berlin.
BERLIN July 1.-The question Of inter-
mediation between Russia and Japan in
behalf of peace continues to be discussed
In diplomatic circles here. The Tagen-
blatt quotes the utterances of an un-
named diplomatist having close relations
Win Jupdn DIS Saying Japan ID us
posed to accept the mediation of some
friendly power and would propose peace
conditions that Russia could accept.
Conditions could be framed easily, since
Japan does not seek territorial acQui-
sitions In Manchuria, but only wants the
preservation of her commercial interests
there and a certain influence in Korea.
Having already substantially improved
her moral position with European powers
through the victories hitherto won, Japan
would gladly utilize the situation thus
created for establishing peace before Rus
strongly.
This diplomatist further argues that
Russia. after having gained one i'm
portant victory. would consent to media
ton because the war has demonstrated
that she Is unable to cope with Japan
with her existing military equipment and
needs ten years for reorganization and
Tournament before renewing the strug-
gle Hence the conviction that the war

MUKDEN, Thursday, June 30 delayed in
trar smission).-Heavy fighting Is reported
to have occurred near Port Arthur June

from Gun-San-Shan after severe losses on
both Sides
The Japanese fleet approached Siao-Ping-
Tao, midway between Port Dalny and Port
Arthur. in the morning Of June % and
bombarded the coast north of the bay so
far as Uit-Selo-Shan. Strong Japanese
forces which had been landed then attacked
the neighboring heights. which were occu-
pied by Russian rihemen. Three times the
Japanese were driven back with heavy
losses, but the Russians were forced to re-
tire from their main position near GUM
San-Shan.

eral fruitless assaults on Guin-San-Shan

Russian left, forcing the Russians to re-
tire.

BANKS ARE PREPARED.
They Can Easily Meet the Demands
for Cash Incident to Crop Time.

Washington, Aug. 30.-For the pur-
pose OF ascertaining the ability OF the
national banks to meet the demand
upon them incident to the annual
movement OF crops, the controller OF
the currency, August 4, sent to the ma
tional bank examiners, with the excep-
tion oil those whose districts are COM
prised within the New England states
and the city OF New York, circular
letter OF inquiry as to whether the de-
mand In their respective sections
would be greater or less than last year,
and whether it would come earlier or
later than last year, and whether the
banks are better prepared to meet the
demand on them from their own funds,
and If there would be any increase OF
decrease in the amounts the banks will
have to borrow.
The result of this inquiry may be
summarized as follows:
The demands of the banks will be
about the same as last year and at
about the same time. The banks are
generally as well, but in most cases,
better prepared than they have been
in the past year or two 10 meet the de-
mands made upon them. Banks in
Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
New Mexico. Oregon, Utah, Wyoming
and Washington are in better con-
dition.

GREAT IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Nevada Is TO Be Scene of Work for
Engineers Next Spring.

Reno, New, Aug. 30.-Next spring
a full corps of engineers and surveyors
in charge of L. IL. Taylor, OF the geo.
logical survey, win begin thorough
survey OF the Humboldt river valley
from Elko to Winnemucca, for the pur-
pose OF preparing data for the irriga-
tion of that immense territory, COM
prislng in all over 100000 acres Of
the finest farm land in the state.
There is little doubt this will be the
next irrigation undertaken, and that
the actual construction work will begin
immediately after the completion OF
the great Truckee-C Carson project,
which is now under way. The great
ness OF the project exceed all that have
heretofore been considered. At present
there are about 800, 900 acres of land
under cultivation in the various valleys
OF the HUMBOLDT. To this will be add
ed fully 700, 900 more, making the ex-
tent of the territory reclaimed fully
twice that which will be brought under
cultivation by the Truckee- Carson pro-
ject, which is now the greatest that
has ever been taken up by the United
States government. The work will
cost millions Of dollars.
