When the Time Comes for the Tender Roosevelt Will Be Ex-

Washington, Jan. 6.-Japan has mad no overtures for peace to Russia di- rectly or indirectly, through the Uniteo States or any other power. and con- templates no such action, and now that Port Arthur has fallen, proposes tu press the war in the north all the more vigorously by re-enforcing the Japan ese armies at Liaoyang with the great CT part of the troops, which have been besieging Port Arthur. This. in brief represents the views of kogoro faka- hira. Japanese Minister. who has re- gently resumed charge of the legation at Washington after a long illness al New York.
 The fall of Port Arthur" said the Minister, Ifs but a step in the war which Japan Is waging for principle Certainly 1t is an important step. put nothing could be further from the truth than the assumption that because Japan has captured a stronghold, the fall of which has long been expected the Japanese Government will now make overtures for peace. Japan Is too busy fighting. We are as much in earnest today, as we were at the out set of the war. We have made no overtures for peace. either directly or indirectly, nor have the powers ap- preached us with any idea of interven- tion."
 At the Russian Embassy.
 At he Russian Embassy IL was re- iterated that Russia would fight all the harder in view of the temporary loss of Port Arthur.
 Europe 1t is learned. is firmly of the conviction that, however dark the out look for peace at this moment. when the prospect brightens 1t Is to Presi- dent Roosevelt that the neutrals, as we'll as the belligerents, will look as the intermediary through whom peace negotiations will be initiated As a European Ambassador said today, the American Government Is practically the only Government to which both belIigerents will be willing to look for assistance in reaching a settlement wien siho time conies and aside from khis fact, the high personal regard in which the President Is held. both at St. Petersburg and Tokio, makes lt all the more probable that through him, when Russia and Japan have fought their fight, the powers must hope for peace.

BROTHER GARDNER.
He Talks on One of the Evils
of the Day.

MY frens." began Brother Gardner,
as he rose in his seat at the last meet
ing of the Lime Kiln club, 81 want to
have talk wild you dis eavenin' on a
matter dat consarns de future of de hull
Guild race. 1 have watched de thing
grow and grow, and spread and spread,
and if dis club don't take hold of it and
seek to call a halt dar's gwine to be de
biggest kind of a calamity widin a few
years.
What 1 refer to is de silly noshun
dat has got into de head of cherry Gull d
pusson in de land dat he must put on
style and keep alongside O. white folks.
De idea begun to crop up about so years
ago, and has now spread all over de
land. Out o. ebry hundred culPd folks
in any community you will find 95 libin
beyond DER means and de odder five
mad bekase dey can't do de same.
In my time a caliker dress was
thought good huff fur any Guild wo-
man who had on a clean shirt was
dressed fur Sunday. Today de Guild
woman who would appear on de street
wild caliker on would lose her standin'
in society widin two minutes, and de
Guild man who went to a weddin' or
prayer meetin' in his shirt sleeves would
be thrown out on his head.
81 don't want to be personal in dis
matter, but 1 want to refer to Brudder
Jones fur mint. Brudder Jones am
janitor in a public buildin' His pay
am $12 per week, and he has a wife and
three children. If Brudder Jones would
cuddle right down and lib sensibly he
ght be happy, but he won't do it. He
wants his plug hat and cane. He wants
patent leather shoes and a diamond
pin. His wife wants silks and satins
and ten dollar hats. His chillen want
bikes and dey want circus tickets. De
result is dat de Jones family am con-
stantly on de verge of bankruptcy, and
whicheber way dey turn dey behold a
yawnin' chasm in front of 'em. If Brud-
der Jones was suddenly called upon to
pay back de two dollars he owes me he
would fall in a fit and be no good fur
de next two hours. He am putin on
style, but am he takin' comfort? 1t
has brought him gray hairs at 35, and
1 don't believe he finds de game with
de candle.
