FLUSHING OVER PEACE.
Russian War Party Expresses Some
 Frank Opinions.

St. Petersburg. March 30-Members of the war party. who are at daggers drawn with the friends of peace, are in- dustriously insinuating that if Rus sian diplomacy is doing anything in the direction of peace 1t is without inn perial sanction, and Is in reality only an unofficial endeavor to induce Japan to agree to negotiate on the lines of no cession of territry and no indemnity, and to enable the advocates of peace to point out to the Emperor that peace is possible without national humilia- tion To show that the Emperor is still recalcitrant on the question of prosecution of the war, they are spreading a story to the effect that when Foreign Minister Lamsdorff. in advocating the advisability of peace, drew the gloomiest picture of the sit uation at the East, his majesty became angry and lost patience. The perse- Verance with which these stories are repeated indicates beyond doubt that they are calculated with deliberate purpose.
 In order to allay the agitation and discontent over the delay in the work of the Bouligan committee. which Is charged with formulating the reforms authorized in the imperial rescript of March 3, 1t is said that Emperor Nich- olas decided to Issue a rescript to ln- terior Minister Bouligan on Aprll D. III which he will urge the necessity of ex- petition and fix an absolute date for convenng the assembly, whose elec- tion will be provided for by the com mission.
 Finding that it will be impossible to reopen the universities this year, Min ister of Education Glasoff has proposed to allow the seniors to take their eX- aminations in order to enable them to obtain diplomas. but insisted that this is only possible If the Minister of the Interior can furnish police protection. M. Glasoff brought the question up in the committee of ministers, where his proposal was vigorously opposed by President Witte, Prince Hikoff and M. Yermaloff who declared that the strike among the students was on purely political grounds and that if an at tempt should be made to hold exami- nations 1t would be sure to result in a deplorable collision. Their view was accepted by the committee.
 M Glasoff opposes the proposition for the restoration of the Polish language to a place in the schools of Poland. declaring that it is impossible to set tie that question apart from the Polish demand for autonomy with which it is bound up.

 Arrangement"

They presented to the min ister a written demand for satisfaction of the Italian claims under the Do- minGan guarantee In view of the fail- ure of the American Senate to ratify the treaty. MT. Sanchez showed them a bulletin announcing President Roose- yelt's approval of the modus vtvendi and explained the plan. He said that Mir.

JAIpAN's ATTITUDE.
She Will Prepare for Still Further
 CampaiRn.


 Tokio, March 30.-The various ru- mors of peace negotiations cmanating from Europe and the United States are published and commented upon here. Apparently they do not effect the attitude of the Japanese govern ment and people towards the war. The press re-echoes the announced deter imitation of Japan to vigorously push the military operauons unmoved and undeterred by discussions of events in Russia or elsewhere. The Jiji declares that the successive reverses have not affected Russia. Emperor Nicholas, the paper adds, is unwilling to sacrifice the prestige of his house or surrender the position of controlling influence Russia has heretofore held over the powers of Europe. Field Marshal Oyamas army will continue its for ward movement and not give Russia a breathing moment
 The Kokumin pronounces the war to be senseless and wasteful on the part of Russia, but the paper says, if she chooses to shut her eyes to the light of reason, Japan will profit by her blind ness
 The Nichinichi says France alone is capable of taking the initiative in per suading Russia to negotiate for peace. but The Nichinichi doubts if Russia
 
 the peace terms will mean the death of the bureaucracy and the bureaucracy Is not committing suicide"
 In conclusion, The NichiAini says: Tn the meantime the Japanese army and navy will continue preparations for the years campaign. Fresh levies are constantly departing for the Far East, the lines of transportation are extend- ing into Northern Manchuria, and the vanguards of the fighting columns are following the retiring Russians north- ward"
 Interest in the war is partly shifting eastward. It is reported that the Rus- sians plan to abandon the island of Sakhalien when the harbors are free of ice. The Russians are strengthening the defensive points north of the Tu- men River Korea, in the vicinity of Hunchui. northwest of Possiet Bay. and at points on the railroad in the vicinity of Ningula, 160 miles east of by north of Kirin. A good highway extends from Possiet Bay northward to Ninguta, where it join the Kirin road.

and Miss G'atterson.
 New York, March 30.-The grand jury in this city today handed down indictments against J. Morgan Smith, Julia Smith. his wife, and Nan Patter- son. charging them jointly with con- spiracy. The indictments are based upon letter alleged to have been written by Julia Smith to Caesar Young in which, 1t is alleged was a threat and a demand for money for the Patterson girl.
