MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
New York Police Cannot Find Mary
Agnes Flynn Who is Supposed
to Have Been Abducted.
(By the Associated Press.

New York. Feb. 25.-Rarely have
the police had to deal with a more
mysterious case Of disappearance than.
that of Mary Agnes Flynn. a young
woman employed secretary i'm ar
office i'm Stone Street. Of whom not
the slightest trace has been found
since she started from the office at the
usual hour to go to her home in
Brooklyn a week ago yesterday. Her
round from the Office to the Wall
Street ferry where she was accus-
toned TO cross to Brooklyn, was only
walk of few minutes but carried
her along the river front and one of
the theories of the police is that she
was either lured or forcibly carried
aboard one of the Sea-going vessel,
lying at the piers. 1T is almost abso-
lutely certain that she never reached
the ferry as a girl friend who was
accustomed to join her is also missing.
Miss Flynn held a power of attorneS
to sign checks for her employer. An
examination of her accounts showed
them to be correct. Her last act be-
fore leaving the Office was to balance
the bank account and pay off the en-
ployes. She did not. however. draw
her salary, saying that she had sufii
cient money for her present needs.
Mr.. Flynn said today that he had
abandoned all hope of ever seeing his
daughter alive again.

WAR ANOTHER YEAR
Rumors of Peace Come
Not From Toxic.
Takahira Says That the Japanese Vic.
tories Have Made No Apparent
Effect Upon Russia, So Japan is
Preparing to Fight.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., February 30
ington, Kogoro Takahira, has categor-
ically and absolutely denied all ru-
n1ors and reports that she was suing
for peace or that any act of the Mi
kadosS representatives here can be
possibly so construed. The ministel
added that the peace talk of the last
few days you can surely believe is not
created in Japan, but emanated from
some other land"
Japan, it was declared, has made al
arrangements to continue the war foI
at least another year. The japanese
minister had just returned from a trip
TO Old Point Comfort when in response
to inquiries made by an Associated
Press reporter he made these state
ments. The minister had found talk
of peace prevalent in many newspa-
pers of the country. He went at once
to the State Department and had q
long talk with the Secretary of State.
He also saw number diplomats to-
day. Both the State Department and
the diplomats learned that overtures
for peace, or even indirect proposals
for peace" have not emanated and
cannot be expected from Toxic.
Mr.. Takahira said that Japan's vic
tories seem to have led to the impress
ison that sch is in a position to take
the initiative In ending the war and
that appears to have created the rumor
that she had given expression to de-
sire for peace.
But there is not one bit of truth
In this rumor. You can deny 1t on my
authority absolutely and without res
erva ton. Japan has not given any
such OPPRESSION through me- repeat
most emphatically.
"While it is true that Japan has
been honored with success of her arms
so far, ii Is equally true that il has
made no apparent effect upon Russia.
Through her representatives Russia
mas been constantly declaring that she
will fight to the end or until she wins
one or more decisive battles. We think
1t is not queer for such large country
as Russia country with such enor-
nous strength of men and such an
amount of resources, to
think of a final success in the war
with us. We have therefore prepared
to fight as long as ii is necessary and
it was only some weeks ago that the
imperial diet voted for the war budget
to run from April 1905 until March
1906. and all necessary measures are
being taken i'm Japan to conduct the
war at least for another year
"Under the circumstances you may
safely say that although Japan is ready
for peace on such reasonable terms as
would insure q lasting peace, which
has been the case from the commence
mont OF hostilities, she knows she cam
not make it with nation which is not
IF the Same frame of mind and it is
to expect us to make any
such suggestions in that direction. and
even more out of the question for us
to formulate the terms Of peace which
are i'm q great measure to depend on
the progress and result of the war

ent measure before the Wisconsin leg
islature is too sweeping--it does away
with the right of the American PEG
pie to petition. The constituents of a

better.
