DIVERGENCE IS RADICAL
Japanese People Has To BE Reckoncd
ewith in the Matter

Japanese People Has To BE ReckOned
swith in the Matter.
The conference Saturday was de-
voted to the signing Of the protocols
of the previous sittings, and the agree
ment to meet again Mt Baron Komura's
request this afternoon. 1t is pre-
sumed that the ENJOYS also heard
through President Roosevelt the ulti-
rlatum of the ear, which was given
to Ambassador Meyer ut st. Peters.
l'lrg as reply to the appeal of the
president to the ear. The ultimatum
is that the car will not pay one penny
indemnity in any guise whatever: that
Russia will agree to divide Sakhalin
with Japan Gapan now has the whole
is'hndD, and will pay for the mainten-
nnce of her soldiers. who are prisoners
Of war. hut will make no other con-
ceSsion.
But the Japanese government would
lave difficulty in agreeing to these
terms because the proposal that SAX
halin be divided between Russia and
Japan is exciting strong popular oppo-
sitiOn Mt Toxic and it is freely predict
cd that acceptance of it will result in
demonstrations against the govern
ment. All the newspapers are vlgor-
Gus in opposition; and not only that,
they all insist upon indemnity. The
papers say that the proposition to d.
vide Sakhalin is absurd. and prefer
that the peace negotiations fall
through rather than such Il division. 1t
may he said that the whole japanese
people is behind the Jap proposition
as it was originally delivered.
Many of the Jap attaches here are
strongly of the opinion that they
should not recede another inch The
lnost prominent Of them said to the
Associated Press: I'VE only offered
one-hnlf of Sakhnlin upon condition
that we should receive for it the price
fixed. yhe island is ours by right of
conquest. If Russia imagincs we will
give up half Of 1t for nothing she is
much mistaken. Our answer should
lie Come and take it,"
Whether the president has renewed
Ills efforts, cannot be ascertained here.
His former suggestion for compro-
mise failed. He made his appeal SIM
ultaneously to both the car and the
emperor Of Japan. He proposed the
Indemnity Snkhalin" combination, but
his scheme was to have the price
fixed by arbitration, which the Japs
rejected and insisted on putting it into
the proposition ut once. And this fell
through.

THE VALLEY OF MEXICO.
ITS CLIMATE, ITS PLACES OF INTEREST
AND ITS DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
BY f. NJ. CARR.

While Mexico is country of
widely divergent conditions, the
converse of this statement is quite
applicable to the climate OF the
Valley of Mexico The average
temperature for the entire year at
the City of Mexico lacks fraction
of being 60 degrees f., and the
daily variations from that average
rarely exceed 10 degrees one way OF
the other. They have wet and a
dry season, but strictly speaking no
winter or summer. From June I'M
til October there are showers be-
tween two and four o'clock nearly
every afternoon, but during the re-
naming months of the year there is
very little rainfall. They have, how
ever, plenty of water for irrigating
purposes, and crops can be sown and
planted at all times Of the year.

die, there red fruits ripen all the
year, beneath IL soft and balmy sky.

whether he regarded the situation as

WILDCAT POWER FOR TROLLEY.
Out Of Pink Mink Marches Comes Yarn
of Shocking Commercialsm.

WILMA MAC, Ind. Jan. 12.-The pink
mink marshes are alive with wildcats,
and it was intended to have a hunt
and clean them out, as their nightly
noise has interfered seriously with
weekday prayer meetings and Sun
day-night services
A halt was called by John Hey. who
believes that the prowling felines can
be used to help operate the new cleo
trio line In brief, his plan is to ar
range chutes through which the cats
will be- driven. In these chutes will be
series of revolving brushes, which
will be low enough to scrape each cats
back.
This brushing will produce electric
sparks, which, by an ingenious contriv-
ance, will be conduced to a storage
battery, from whence, in turn, it will
go to the trolley feed wires.
