LONDON, Feb. 21.-John Redmond's
amendment to the address in reply to
the speech from the throne was de-
feated in the House of Commons to-
night by a vote of 2S6 to 236, after an
exhaustive debate occupying two days
and affording an opportunity to repre-
sentatives of the several parties and
factions to express their views on the
Irish situation. The amendment de-
clared, in effect, that the political
system of government (of Ireland) is
opposed to the will of the Irish people. ="
The net result of the debate showed
that all agreed that the present sys-
TEN of government of Ireland was un-
satisfactory, but that there was not a
distinct agreement concerning methods
by which the dissent may be stated.

StPeterSburg Council Agrees
Oh Terms That Would

Japanese Nation to Win Practically
Everything for Which 1t Has
Been Fighting.
Special Dispatch to The Call

LONDON. Feb. 21.-Advices from st.
Petersburg this evening stated that
definite terms Of peace were being dis
cussed there tonight II was even as
serted that the terms were almost COM
pleted. A dispatch from St Petersburg
says:
The question Of peace has not only
formally been discussed, but the condi-
tions on which Russia is prepared to
make peace have practically been
agreed upon. These terms are as fol-
lows:
Korea to be placed under japanese
Euzerainty
Port Arthur and Laotung peninsula
10 be ceded TO Japan.
"NladivostOk TO be declared a neutral
port. with the open door.
The Eastern Chinese Railroad to be
placed under neutral international ad-
ministration.
Manchuria, as far as Harbin, to be
restored as an integral part of the
Chinese empire.
The difficulty lies in settling the
question Of indemnity. upon which it IS
known that Japan insists, but it is be-
lieved that this difficulty is not in
superable.
The most trustworthy opinion in st.
Petersburg is that, in view of the in
ternal situation and the enormous diff
Guilty in carrying on the war, peace on
the terms outlined viii be concluded
within comparatively short time, if
- .n6enlnitg question can be ar
ranged.
1T is quite possible. however, that
Russia VIII risk another battle before
the decision is reached"
ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 22.-Em-
peror Nicholas is ready to make peace.
He is reported TO have taken this de-
cision chiefly on the advice of En-
peror William. The conditions of
peace which Russia. can accept are
freely discussed here. The only OBJ
stacle is said TO be the question of
indemnity, which Russia will refuse
10 pay.
While peace reports are circulated
IN official and other quarters in St.
Petersburg, the information reaches
the press that General Kuropatkin is
3nouStrlously preparing to try final
conclusions with Field Marshal Oyama
and that a decisive battle may be ex-
pected within a fortnight.
Captain William B. Budson, u. S. A,
and other foreign military attaches
have been asked to leave Vladivostok.
While no reason has been assigned, il
is probable that this action is in an
ticipation Of operations which will be-
gin there as soon as spring opens.
According to the latest reports En-
peror Nicholas is greatly dissatisfied
with the conduct of General Grippen-
berg while he was in Manchuria. and
has not only sustained General Kuro-
patlxin, but has ordered General Grip
penberg to return TO his post 1t is

Grippenberg's bearing was far from
cheerful when he left the Emperor's s

rule. In the course of his remarks
Kenyon-Slaney referred to the claim of
h-Americans that they had killed
the American arbitration treaty.
Healy. replying on this point, said
God bless the Irish in America.
They are faithful to their country. re-
gardful Of its interests and are deter
mined that if you make a treaty of
peace with the United States 1t shall
be abiding and lasting"
Heaiy bitterly assailed the Ulster
Unionists. and eloquently appealed to
the Conservative party to concede the
wishes of the Nationalists in the in
terest of imperial policy.
Earl Spencer, in the course of a
speech in London last night, referred
to rumors that he would be the next
Liberal Premier. He said he had not
sought, did not expect and did not
wish such a high honor, but that if
called upon it would only be with a
stern sense of the duty to be done that
he would accept such a responsible po-
Sition.
The Cabinet met to-day with the
usual attendance, but the proceedings
were not given out.

WATER PIPE
Workman Is Nearly
SuffOcated by Mud
and Slime.
Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

CORONA, Feb. 21.-Crouching In
mur and slime to his lips, tangled in
a network of roots and unable to
move, was the predicament in which
Fred Laughlin found himself this
afternoon while working in twenty
eight inch underground pipe. He was
within a hairs breadth of perishing.
Laughlin is one of a gang of men
employed in cleaning out the Temes-
cal Water Company's lower pipe line.
Walnut roots had worked their way
through a series of cracks into the
pipe. With sediment and water. the
growth of the roots. some of which
were as thick as a mans arm, had
filed the pipe for about twenty feet.
Laughlin, when about 400 feet from
the manhole, discovered, to his hor-
ror that he could neither move for
ward nor backward. but was pris-
oner in close tangle.
Lusty calls explained the critical
situation to his fellow workers at the
manhole After digging to the pipe
and breaking it a man was lowered,
who found there were about eight
feet of roots to be cut away before
Laughlin could be reached.
