Senators Minturn and Price
and Assemblymen Ham
i'll and Loveridge Will
Discuss Today the
Coming Bill.
DUTY OF DEMOCRATS
The Intention Is Not to Elk.
clude Equal Tax Advocates
Outside the Party But
Merely to Live Up to
Promises.

Senators Minturn and Price and As
semblyman HamiH and Loyeridge, who
were delegated by the Democratic minor
ity to prepare an equal tax bill to be in
trodueed next Tuesday as party meas
ure, will, it is said, meet this afternoon
for the purpose of drafting suchaa bill.
Among certain Democratic newspapers
opposition has developed against the
proposition Of submitting an equal tax
mea sure which the party caucus stamps
with approval These papers claim that
equal taxation. or the demand for it, is
bigger than the Democratic party and
that therefore the Democrats in
the Legislature should support pure
II non-partisan measure which has the
/ support of all equal takers in the State
regardless of their political affiliations.
Senator Minturn said this morning that
a mistaken idea prevailed regarding the
bill to be introduced by the Democrats.
He said that it was compulsory for the
Democrats to present a bill drawn up on
the lines Of the party platform adopted
by the last Gubernatorial convention and
that therefore the Democratic minority
must support such a bill as party
measure whether or not it contained sub
jeets prepared BY men not actively iden-
tilted with the party.
1--WE do not intend 10 shut out such
equal tax advocates as Henry Y. Com
diet Charles W. Riker, Mayor Pagan
and Mr.. Record because they are Re-
publicans. said the Hudson Senator.
.'In fact. any suggestions they may make
regarding this question which they think
should be embodied in our bill viii re-
ceive thoughtful consideration.
"We do not intend to limit our CON
ference to handful of men as has been
claimed. We cordially invite all equal
takers to submit their views and win
not ignore those who do not agree with
us politically on the subject. ! think the
bill which, the Democrats will prepare
will be satisfactory to all advocates of
equal taxation

holders. The Lehigh Valley Company may
sell Tie land and wafer rights Of the
canal company, the same to be conveyed
when sum sufficient to pay the debts
and the appraised value OF the shares
shall have been secured.
But the bill limits these shares to the
following possible purchasers. The Ie-
high Valley Company the constituent
companies Of that corporation, or its
nominees.
The bill puts all the preliminary ex-
pense Of arranging the abandonment on
the State and then gives the Iehish the
privilege or rejecting the whole propo-
sition if, it sees fit.
Counsellor Walter j. KNIGHT. Of New
ark. who is said TO he one of the best in
forired lawyers in the State on the Nor
RS Canal question. yesterday denounced
the abandonment mcnsure as ! vicious
biz which should be defeated by the
Legislature because it robbed the people
Of this State Of their valuable rights in

There is one great danger that ! wish

alton, individual or company. who or
which in turn should assign its contract
to the city of New York, and the latter
should carry out the contract by the con-
struction of means for conveying and

PROPOSAL
United States Communicates
Japan's Offer to the
Gar Who Is Likely
to Reject It.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1906. Full
ler information confirms the statement
made in these dispatches on Wednesday,
thar the first move for peace in the Far
Eastern conflict has been made by one Of
the belligerents, and that this belIigerent
is Japan, and not Russia.
Furthermore. it is now possible to say
that the Japanese overtures, while appar-
emily informal, were directly addressed to
the United States and that they were
communicated to ST. Petersburg. The
terms upon which Japan expressed a
willingness to treat for peace have been
ascertained, and, briefly stated, are as
follows.
The evacuation Of Manehufia by Rus
sian troops and the return of that PROV
ince to the control Of China and its recog-
milton as an integral part of the Chinese
empire.
The recognition by Russia of Japan
supremacy in Corea.
The transfer Of the Chinese Eastern
Railway to the management of an inter
national commission.
The retention Of Port Arthur by
Japan.
No response has been received here
from the Russian Government, and on
account Of the manner in which the
Japanese suggestions were communicated
to the Foreign Ministry at st. Peters
burg, there has been no breach of eti-
quette by Russian in failing to acknowl-
edge the informal proposals advanced.
Berlin reports have it that the Rus
sian Government has determined to pro-
ceed with the war, but the authorities
here have reason to believe that the ac-
tion taken by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay upon the encouragement
received from Minister Takahira's eau
tious statement is bound TO bear fruit.

Morris Canal Abandonment bill made
public yesterday and which vii be pre-
seutea to the Legislature next Monday
nighe Just what action the Hudson
members will take regarding the bill has

believed that they viii strongly oppose
its passage on the ground that jersey
City's interests are not amply protected
BY If.
The Hudson men viii demand that
South Cove shall be granted by the Lee
high Valley Railroad to Jersey City. 1t
is regarded as a valuable water front
needed BY the city. The Lehigh Valley
Company, it is thought, win not make
the concession as the bill contains no
provision for such a grant. It is under
stood that in the event Of the Abandon
ment measure being adopted, the COM
pany will fill in and occupy South Cove
as a terminal station.
The bill has been carefully considered
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad and is in
