st. Petersburg, March 15.-The ques-
ton of peace still engrosses public al
tention, but the attitude of the govern
ment apparently remains firm. Minis
ter of Railroads Prince Hilkoff, in an
interview declared that he personally
would welcome peace, but it was diff
cult to see how it was possible. To
end the war under the present circunl-
stsances, he insisted, would be shame
full. A peace which would surrender
Russia's position in the far east, after
the sacrifices OF blood and treasure
made to attain it, and which wOudd
involve the complete loss of Russia'S
prestige throughout THE world, would
be folly. 1t was better to go on fight
ing. rhe country would never be
beaten while an army was in the field
and in the test of endurance Russia's
resources of men and money must pre-
vail. There had been no relaxation in
the preparations tlo prosecute the wal
He was now getting ready to go to
Siberia, he said, and personally super
intend the improvement and double
tracking of the line. The prince ex-
pressed the hope that the disaster tn
the army was not so bad as represent
ed abroad. He had received business
telegram from General Kuropatkin
yesterday which indicated that the
command was calm and han
ding the railroad situation success
fully.

cause of the young wife's refusal to
return to a resort where she had pre-
viously lived.

Considered Good Sign.

London, March 15.-The revolt Of
the French bankers is considered by
the London newspapers as the most
hopeful and important news of the
day. promising an early conclusion OF
peace between Russia and Japan. APP
parently, the proposed loan has not
been absolutely refused, but only
postponed" This, however, is re,
garded as being tantamount to a re.
fusal and iys expected to speak louder
to the Russian war party even than
Kuropatlin's reverse at Mukden.
1t is the general belief that by the
death of M. Germain, the late COVER
nor of the Credit Lyonnaise, Russia
lost her strongest financial friend in
France and that had he been still alive
no difficulty would have been expert
enced With the American and Eng.
lis'h markets closed to her, it is
thought that Russia can only turn to
Germany, which is not likely to be
much more responsive than France,
and the only alternative would seem
to be to- make peace.
Reports are current here that Japan
will now demand an indemnity of be-
tween $50O,OOO,00O and $750,000,0O0.

Paris, March 15.-The postponement
OF the Russian loan is definitely con-
firmed. This is likely to exert a pow
erful influence toward peace, aus it is
the first time the French financiers
have shown an indisppsition to ad-
vance funds while the uncertainties of
war continue. Ifne following details
of the postponement are from an au-
.thoritative source:
A committee representing a syndl-
cate of French underwriters went to
st. Petersburg to arrange the cond1-
tions with the minister of finance, and
contract was drawn up for $780,
100000 loan, taking the form OF trea-
sury bonds running seven years at 5
per cent. The contract was then
brought back to Paris for the approval
of all the underwriters. In the mean
time the disastrous events in Manchu-
ria naturally aroused doubts on the
part of the financiers as to whether
Russia should make peace of pursue
the war. The influence of THE financial
elements was almost unanimous for
peace, but Russia's declination to con-
slider peace appears to have induced
the decision not to proceed with the
contract, and accordingly the signing
of it, which was expected yesterday,
has been postponed and all the pend
ing negotiations are also postponed.
According to Russian view, this does
not mean that the negotiations have
been broken off, but merely that they
are adjourned, as the Russian authori-
ties say the syndicate holds itself
bound toward Rpssia now as before
However, the circumstances of the ad'
journment tend to show that the syn
dicate intends to wait for some den

Hampshire Arms and Netley Corners
Now Erie Luce's.

Deeds transferring 1886, 900 worth Of
Minneapolis real estate from the Phoe-
nix Loan & Investment company to the
Hampshire Arms company were filed
in the office Of the register of deeds yes

Hampshire Arms corner, Ninth street

and the Netley Corners, Thirteenth

The property was sold May 10, but
the transfer and deeds were not record

due until Sept /, and these had to be
paid before the transfer could be placed

ored or faded. 70 restore it, wash in a
strong solution of soda water, using or
binary baking soda in lukewarm water.
Scrub thoroly, using soap, and when
dry int will be found that the mating
is of one color and Jpe spots removed.
Tn the case Of white mating, one will
find yellowish shade, but this is far
better than soiled and faded white
mating, since it is one uniform color
after the soda wash. The soda also
strengthens the fiber of the mating
For delicate shades and any other color
than white or very light mating use
strong salt and water. This does not
change the shade, but removes the spots
and also strengthens the fiber.
If the willow furniture is shabby by
reason of becoming badly soiled, half
fill q pail with strong salt water and ap-
ply with whisk broom, placing the
chair out-of-doors or in. the basement
where the water will not be likely to
injure anything. The chair will be
quite as clean as when new, and the
salt water will whiten the wicker and
strengthen it as well. =

vogue because France has been the
architectural center of the world the
last 200 years, as it IS today. That
the French are the best architects is
admitted by all nationalities. So many
Americans study there that they have
gradually absorbed the spirit Of the
French work, have come home and used
the best ideas found abroad. This APP
plies to large work.
While the French motif is evident in
big buildings, the American house is
often derived from the English. In the
majority of the best houses in the east,
Mr.. Gillette says, the work is English
in spirit and American in expression.
This is becoming the American archi-
lecture. In these two ways the Ameri-
can architecture is being derived.
Another characteristic of Minneapo-
lis drew from Mr.. Gillette compli-
mentary expression in passing. He
referred to the fact that the working
class are living in individual houses
instead of in tenements, as in New
York. The middle. class he finds are
doing the same thing TO- a large. ex:
