The joint committee on capitol and
grounds reported the communication
from Architect Cass Gilbert, being the
reply of that gentleman to the charges
made by Milwaukee architects and
others that he had ignored the require
mems of the program of the capitol
plan competition and had suggested a
building of extrayagant dimentions and
cost, and accompanied the report with
a resolution that it be printed in the
journal. Senator McGillivray, who is
the leader of the opposition of the
Milwaukee architects against the pro-
posals of the eastern man, objected to
the printing of the reply in the journal
unless the original arguments upon
which the reply is based be also print
ed there. He rather favored printing
the whole thing, the arguments ana
the reply, but would not consent to
printing the reply unless the first argu.
ments be also printed. The report was
returned to the committee upon it's

London. March 31.-Peace talk is
prevalent everywhere, but that nego-
tiations have been commenced is still
positively denied in all official circles
here The foreign office disclaims
even having any knowledge Of the
peace proposals. II is quite evident
however. that while the first steps
may be taken at any moment an ad-
vance further than indicated in the
Associated Press dispatches may be
postponed indefinitely.
japanese Minister Hayashi declared
to the Associated Press last evening
that he had no Information in regard

the st. Petersburg dispatches of the
Associated Press. that Russia has in
directly made known TO Japan the
negative conditions on which peace
might be concluded, namely, no ces-
sion of territory and no indemnity

peace negotiations could be begun up
on that basis, but he said unreserved-
ly that the terms mentioned could not
even be considered and added
"A cess'on of territory and indem
nity are the only points negotiable.

"The war cost between s250.000,000
and 5000, 900, 900 the first year. and it
is estimated that it viii cost $780,
100000 during the present year, II
would he unprecedented in the history
of great wars that no Indemnity and
no territory be given up by the van,
-i5had. While it is beyond my
province to discuss the terms of
peace can express iay personal opin-
ion that as the war was forced upon
Japan it is not likely that she will
waive the right TO indemnity and ces-
sion Of territory when concluding

AS Viewed in Toxic.

Toxic, March 91.-The various ru-
mors of peace negotiations emanating
from Europe and the United States
are widely published and commented
upon here, Apparently they do not
affect the attitude of the Japanese
government and people towards the
war The press reechoes the an
nounced dety 'mination of Japan to
vigorously push military operations
unmoyed and undeterred by the discus
sion of events in Russia or elsewhere.
The Niehi Nichi says France alone is
capable of taking the initiative in per-
shading Russia to negotiate for peace
but the Nichi Nichi doubts if Russia
would accept Frances advice "because

bureaucracy and the bureaucracy is
not committing suicide"
