VICTIMS OF BENNINGTON
WILL Be SENT HOME

SAN DIEGO-The bodies OF the
Bennington boys who were buried in
the military cemetery on Point Iona
are to be disinterred and sent home
to relatives at the expense Of the gov
eminent.
The officials have discovered that
after the Maine disaster congress
enacted law providing for the trans
mission of the bodies of dead sailors
to their homes. After the explosion
the undertakers telegraphed to the
nearest relatives of the dead men for
instructions regarding the disposition
Of the remains and they were inform
ed that the bodies could not be shipp-
ed at the government expense. Ac-
cordingly the bodies of the forty-nine
boys were inferred, unembalmed, in
the little burial ground on the hill.
Now Paymaster Morris is telegraph
ing to relatives that, upon their re-
quest, the bodies will be disinterred
and sent home at the expense Of the
government. So far such request has
come for two of the bodies and it is
likely that a majority of them will
be exhumed and sent away.

HATE TO GIVE UP
THEIR FREE PASSES

KAUKAUNA, Wis.-As a result Of
the enforcement of the new state law
denying public officials the right to
travel on railroad passes a number of
Kaukauna officials will probably re-
sign. Mayor G. E. Raught and Alder
man e. H. Whitman are among these
who have been using free transpor-
tation.
Three members of the south side
school board are railway employees
and enjoy transportation privileges.
DR.. Tanner, president of the library
board, already has resigned rather
than lose his free pass privilege as
company physician, and Mrs. G. H.
Hartley, James L. Tonter and Luther
Lindauer, three other library board
members, will, it is said, either have
to resign or lose their accustomed
privileges.

FOR RUSSIAN INDEMNITY

BERLIN-In view of the probability
Of an early peace between Russia and
Japan, the terms of which will involve
the payment of very heavy indem-
nifty by Russia, the financiers Of Eu-
rope have been holding conferences to
the end that the peace indemnity may
be paid without seriously disturbing
the finances of the world. The Mendel-
ssohns, the Berlin bankers, who have
been for many years the representa-
tives on the continent of the Russian
government, and who have negotiated
many of the Russian loans, have
formed an alliance with the Roth
schilds in respect Of the matter and
have held communications with all the
leading financial institutions both on
the continent and in England. They
are about to send their representatives
to New York with view to enlisting
the cooperation of the larger financiers
of the United States.

ure Of the party, Secretary Taft said
to a representative of the Associated
press:
"We were wholly unprepared for
the enthusiastic reception which we
have had at the hands of the Japan
csc government and people. We feel,
of course, that this is due to the
kindly feeling of the emperor to-
wards the American government and
people, but we are assured from pub
lie manifestations that the official and
popular wills are in accord. During
our visit to Toxic grand entertain
ments were given in our honor and
for our enjoyment and to the interest
ing visit to Kyoto. the ancient capital,
where we saw evidences Of the won
derful genius and skill of Japanese
artists and artisans, was fitting cli-

During our stay we were accompan-
led by M. Nagasaki and his estima-
BILE wife, and also the Count and
Countess Terashima, from Toxic, who
looked after the interests of the en-.

gree of foresight, care and kindly pa
thence that enabled them to carry

lions during the trip of 800 miles
from Toxic to Kobe without hitch

gy, in which he expressed his deter
mination never to conclude a peace
dishonorable to Russia or unworthy
of her greatness, is reprinted il every

among the friends of peace. The en-
peror's words. however. by no means
bear out the construction placed upon
them by the jubilant war party, nor
do they at all exclude the idea of o
successful termination of the ap
preaching negotiations at Portsmouth,
but they certainly strengthen the mil
itary spirit aroused by the cabled YER
sions of the Sato interviews and the
cold figures representing the 2uppos-
ed extent of the contributor to be de-
handed by Japan.

PAPERS
THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY
OF COMING MEETING.
ASK THE PEOPLE FOR PATIENCE
White Has Full Power of Attorney
Plenlpotentary Of Car Has Back
ing Of His Master In Matter of Ar
ranging Terms OF Peace.

ST. PETERSBURG-The Russ, the
Eovoe Vremya and other representa-
tiyes of the Russian press counsel
patience for the brief interval OF the
meeting Of the peace ENJOYS and
dwell on the futility of attacking men
Of straw before it is definitely known
what terms the Japanese propose.
The Russ says:
IN. WHITE has definite instructions
as to what demands will be abso-
lutely unacceptable and will know
what course to adopt If such demands
are presented. We are ignorant Of
the Japanese proposals, but we will
know what they are in a few days.
Meanwhile let us wait"
Discussing the supposition that a
combination of the powers might be
formed to exert pressure for the mod
ification of extortionate Japanese de-
mands, M. Neratoff, the spokesman Of
the Foreign Office, in an interview in
the Gazetta, declares that however
much as proposal might be advan-
tageous to other powers, Russia would
never be the mover Of such pro-
ject, as it believes that all questions
connected with the settlement of the
war should be decided directly be-
tween the two countries interested.
China, he said, had advanced no claim
to compensation for losses sustained
on account of Manchuria being the
theater of war; but no such claims
would be considered.
Discussing the question of creden-
tials M. Neratoff said M. Whites pow
ers were greater than M. White him
self had stated and were equivalent
to full power of attorney, and that
Gin the conduct of the negotiations
the plenipotentiary will appear for
the absolute master Of the country
which had confirmed the trust in
him." Nevertheless M White, he said,
had been instructed as to maximum
demands exceeded these there would
be nothing to do but to break off the
negotiations.
The Sivet also declares that China
is without standing in court regard
ing Manchurian damages and that
Russia will never pay for the privi-
lege of shedding its blood in a coun-
try to which it was called by the
Boxer" outrage.
The Chinese minister at Paris, Mr..
Soueng, has arrived in St. Petersburg.
