Washington, Feb. 24.--At the White
House and at the state department, at
the Russian, French, German and Brit
ish and Italian embassies and the
Japanese legation, where inquiries
we're made regarding the rumors Of
peace between Russia and Japan, the
most positive statements were made
that If either of the belligerents were
thinking OF proposing peace 1t was a
secret securely locked in the foreign
Office at st. Petersburg or at Toxic.
The president has heard absolutely
nothing Of an avowed intention on the
part OF Russia or Japan to sue for
peace at this time, much less OF an
actual proposal. Secretary Hay as
sured three ambassadors that while
this government continued ever hope
ful for peace and watchful of the op-
portunity to be of assistance whenever
assistance might be asked by the bel
ligerents, there were no indications
here that the time for peace was near.
In a long talk with a correspondent
Of the Associated Press, Count Cas-
sini, the Russian ambassador, said
talk of peace was never more absurd
than now. The ambassador has had
positive Information from the very
highest oficials in st. Petersburg that
the war will be prosecuted with in
creasing vigor. 1t is expected that Gen
eraI Kuropatkiri with the opening Of
the snrlng campaign, VIII accomplish
much IN view OF the achievements
he has receiFed. The emperor has
every confidence In his military abil-
ity.
"The peace talk can have but one
object said Ambassador. cassiHi. the
assistance of Japanese loan It is
about time for Japan to raise another
loan. and these rumors OF peace gen
orally begin at such a time. can re-
iterate. in the light OF recent advices
| have received, in the most emphatic
manner that the war in the Far East
VIII end when Russia IS victorious and
not moment before. The recent dis
turbances IN Russia. while annoying
cannot in the slightest affect the gov
ernment's foreign policy. The war will
go on 10 the end, as have been saying
ever since it began The talk of peace
Is ridiculous, as viii be proven by the
activities Of General Kuropatkin when
the spring campaign opens in earnest" {"
Equally positive statements are
made at the japanese legation that
Japan, while Of course ready for peace
on her terms. as she has been since
the war began, sees no outlook for a
cessation az hostEities yet. and is pre-
pairing to follow up the victories of
last autumn with even more decisive
battles In the spring, now that the fall
OF Port Arthur has released the be
sieging army there ard IL is available
for operations in the north.

Paris. Feb 24.-The international
commission appointed to inquire into
the North Sea incident practically
concluded its work by finally agreeing
TO the report which will be public y
announced at the closing session to
be held tomorrow. Concerning the
general nature of the report the fol-
lowing statement was made in a most
authoritative quarter to the Associated
Press:
when the text of the decision be-
comes known it will be far more ac-
ceptable TO the British. press and pub.
lie than they have been led to believe.
The semi-ofRcial summaries appearing,
while more or less accurate, tend too
strongly to show Russian success, but
as matter of fact the admirals have
sought middle ground. and the de-
cision is not a pronounced victory for
either side. II is of such character as
to preserve Russia's self-respect and
at the same time give the British pub.
lie much ground for satisfaction. II

On the other hand the Havas agency
confirms its semi-ofhcial statement It
says:
"The conclusions as a whole are
quite favorable to Russia, recognizing
that Admiral Rojestvensky could le-
ultimately consider himself in danger
and act as he did However, the re-
port contains reservations calculated
to satisfy British susceptibilities, the
most important being that the com
mission esteems that the Russian fire
lasted too long, and also that Rojest-
vensby should have speedily notified
the British maritime authorities of the
deplorable incident
Upon the question of the presence
Of torpedo boats. the commission frees

st. Petersburg. Feb. 24.-The init
nation that the decision of the inter
national commission on the Hull af
fair viii be favorable to Russia viii
be received with much quiet exultation
in admiralty circles and by the St
Petersburg public, where 1t is felt to
show the baselessness of 'the sense
less clamor" against Vice Admiral Ro-
iestvensky. Naval officers always have
maintained that there was another
side to the question as It was present
ed by the press of Great Britain, and
believed Rojestvensky was amply JUS
titled in taking all precautions for the
safety Of his fleet, especially in view
Of warnings, the seriousness Of which
apparently was not realized elsewhere,
and we're convinced that a commission
Of impartial experts would take the
same view Hence the report is ac-

Mail Box In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Feb. 24-Addressed to
United States Senator Penrose a small
internal machine was found done up
in an innocent looking package in a
private mail box In the hallway of a
building at 1910 Market street A. ].
Williams a photographer, to whom
the mail box belongs and who discov-
cred the package, turned it over to
Captain of Detectives Donagy, who
opened the box without exploding its
contents. The box contained gun pow
der and a liquid In bottle supposed to
be nitro-glycerine. On portions of the
wrapper Of the box were pasted clip
pings containing the names of different
/ corporations. On another wrapper was
the inscription President Roosevelt,
we are not in any trust; time limited
Inauguration"
There were other Inscriptions on the
wrapper and also on the box. II is the
opinion of Captain Donagy that the in
fernal machine is undoubtedly the
work Of a crank. There is no clue to
his identity. Mr. Penrose has no con-
nection with the building in which the

A RAILROAD TICKET

"A little schoolgirls definition OF a
railroad ticket is worth repeating. In
a composition written in one of the
Boston primaries on "A Railway Jour
ney," the little one says, among other
things:--
you have to get ticket, which is
piece OF paper, and yet give II to a
man, who cuts hole IN it and let's
you pass through"
This is a rather good description for
a child, but l wonder If many Of our
readers appreciate half-the pleasure to
which the slip OF paper or cardboard
entities them.
In former years travelling was in
some respects almost as hard as pass
ing through hole" punched in any,
thing. but under the present improved
system used on most roads especially
on the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
way. the possessor Of one Of these
small printed slips has many privn-
eges-
