About Peace Talk.

London, March 31.-Peace talk is
prevalent everywhere, but that nego-
tiations have commenced Is still posi-
lively denied in all official circles
here. The foreign Office disclaims
even having any knowledge of peace
proposals II is quite evident, howev-
er, that while the first definite step
may be taken at any moment an ad
vance further than indicated in the
Associated Press dispatches may be
postponed indefinitely.
Japanese Minister Hayashi declar-
ed yesterday that he had no .informa-
ton in regard to the announcement
contained in st. Petersburg dispatch
es of the Associated Press that Rus
STA had indirectly made known to
Japan the negative conditions on
which peace might be concluded,
namely, no cession of territory and
no indemnity. leaving Japan to de-
termine whether peace negotiations
could be begun upon that basis but
he said unreservedly that the terms
mentioned could not be considered
and added:
A cession of territory and indem-
nifty are the only points negotiable
as Japan's ante-bellum demands have
already been secured by Japan.
NJ. Takahashi Japanese special fl
nancial commissioner in an inter-
view today said to the Associated
Press:
"The war cost between $25O,0OO,-
000 and $500, 100000 the first year
and It is estimated 1t will cost $780,
900. 200 during the present year. IL
would be unprecedented in the histo-
ry of great wars that no indemnity
aud no territory be given up by the
vanquished. While ii is beyond my
province to discuss the terms OF
peace, | can express my personal
opinion that as the war was forced
upon the Japanese, it is not likely
that she will waive her right to In
demnity and cession of territory
when concluding peace"

row. 1t was said today, however, that
Recorder Goff, before whom the case
was tried, is not satisfied to pass
sentence without first learning more
about the dynamite, and has decid-
ed to defer the sentence pending an
investigation into the prisoners an
tecedents. the history of his life and
his character and state of mind and

might hanged, was commended by
Judge Barnes. The 17-year-old lad
received a good education. His father

Judge Barnes. Although the son
has disgraced them and broken their
hearts, they are determined that JUS

sacrifice to them. These very young
criminals are the most dangerous to
society. They re responsible for a
majority of the cold-blooded murders

A gentleman from Eddyyille who
was In the city yesterday told the
facts in regard to "Spotty" Wings
escape from the Eddyyille peniten-
tiary, The prisoner was, given six
teen years at Smithland for safe blow
ing, and after he had been In the
hospital year or two, began to get
"paralyzed. lie simulated disability
to perfection. and was taken to the
hospital. lie appeared to get worse,
and was barely able to creep around
ON crutehes, and had TO be constantly
assisted, the guards carrying him TO
and from his cell ON their backs.
Occasionally he would be In the
prison yard when shower came up,
and would remain apparently help
less in the rain until some of the
guards came out to help him. lie
would then hang on To them as II he
could hardly move, and had every
body fooled, from the warden To the
doctors and guards.
The night the prisoner made his
escape he left dummy in the bed,
with the crutches at the side of the
bed, and filed his way out OF the hos

went into the saloon and took him In
charge. His friends again objected
and tbs Wickliffe men said that they
would stand by their marshal. Sew
eral men pulled their reyolyers and
the fight was resumed
No one could tell who fired the
first shot, but several followed In
quick succession. When the smoke
cleared away, Marshal Barnett was
found on the floor MORALLY wounded.
A shot from 3S-ealibre revolver had
passed through his body and lodged
In his back near the spine,
Other deputies placed George Mil
Ter of East Cairo, under arrest. lie is
suspected as having fired the shot
but the authorities are not certain.
Last night the doctors reported
that Barnett had very slim chance
for recovery.
The Democratic primaries are on
today and the feeling over the pro-
posed removal of the court house Is
expected TO lead TO more trouble. The
shooting caused the greatest excite
ment in Wickliffe and a more bitter
feeling against the La Center fac
lions. Some talk of Violence was
heard but no steps In this direction
were taken because of the uncertain
~ OF the guilt OF Miller.

How "Spotty" Wing Escaped From
The Eddyville Penitentiary Tuesday

His escape was easy after he got
out of the hospital, as no guards are
kept on the walls at night, The pris-
oners are then all supposed to be un-
der lock and key, and the guards IN
the yard remain inside and come out
at intervals and ring their bells, They
are more TO watch for fire than any
thing else.
After Wing got out of the building
he went to the foundry, 10 which an
addition is being built, and hnding a
ladder, reached the top OF the wall,
went to a tower at the corner ana
easily passed down through II TO the
outside of the walls.
lie had not served but three or
four years of his sixteen-year SEN
tence. There have been a great
many daring and unique escapes from
the branch prison at Eddyville, but
this is said TO have been the most
cleyerly managed job ON reVfd. IL
required two years to work IL ut, but
the safe-blower acted his part we'll,
aud has saved himself az least ten
years confinement al hard labor, un-
less he should be recaptured, which
seems unlikely at present.

The result of yesterdays demo-
cratic primary In McCracken county
yielded few surprises To well inform
ed politicians who had made n can
vass of the county. but number of
candidates were evidently somewhat
astonished.
The vote was what might be term
ed light, showing that the democrats
did not all 20 TO the polls. Some OF
the races were quite close, leaving a
good excuse for some of the candi-
dates, at least. TO contest, but none
has slgnifed any intention of con
testing.
The first returns came In as early
as . o'clock yesterday afternoon. but
the last were not In until II y. m,
and II took the last to decide one or
two of the races.
II Is believed that the tabulated
returns are correct, although some Of
the candidates may be satisfied and
convinced with nothing short of the
oficial count.
Most all the defeated candidates
take their medicine gracefully, but
some seem TO be little sore over
alleged combinations" that they seem
to think defeated them.
II Is quite likely that the republic
cans of McCracken county will put
out n complete ticket for the Novem-
Der election. The republican county
committee will be called together
shortly for the purpose Of deciding
on the time and manner for selecting
candidates for the county Offices. II
Is likely that the ticket will not be
put out until midsummer. probably
later.
II is understood that Messrs. John
ID. Smith. who was defeated by Mr..
Joe Miller for jailer by votes. and
County Clerk Charles Graham, who
was defeated by about 80 votes by
John W. Ogilvie. are waiting to as
certain II reported returns are cor
rect. and II they are will abide by
them without contest

feated.by Mr.. l.. T. Head by 81 votes.

II Is likely that even II any friends

after the Official count.
Those interested In the races for
magistrate and constable found today
that there is very unusual state OF
AFFAIRS. The vote for these nomina-
lions was not copied by the election
officers, and as a result there is no
way To ascertain who won until the
committee meets In n few days to
count the vote.
