Japan WAVES INDEMNITY
BACKS DOWN E, AGREE TO
SUBMIT A PRICE NORTHERN HALF OF SAX.
UNBIASED COMMITS sIoN-PRosPEcT PEACE


Russia and Shift the burden back to
her shoulders if she does not consent
to submit minor issue to the impair
tial judgment of a tribunal.
M. Witte publicly dissents vigor-
ously from the proposition, and there
will be a struggle with Peterhof, but
il Japan today agrees to formally re-
nounce all claims for direct or indi-
rect compensation for the expenses of
the war the big stumbling block to
peace is out of the way. Everything
will depend upon the form in which
the proposal is submitted. Should the
renunciation be so coupled with the
other proposition that Russia could
claim it was still only disguised de-
mand for tribute the gulf might only
be narrowed, but not bridged.
Russian War Party BeIIicose.
All the private advices that reach
the Russian mission from st. Peters
burg indicate that the military party
is bellicosely insistent that Line
witch be given a chance, and that me-
eotiations be broken off. M. Witte
feels the pressure of this sentiment,
and as a man of ambition, he may
feel that he can not afford to lay him
self open to the charge that he is tenn
porizing with the situation. He has
power under his instructions to re-
ject out of hand any proposition in,
volving the payment of tribute He
need not consult his imperial master.
He is man of inspiration, and he
is quite capable of taking the ground
that the Japanese proposition savors
still of "blood money" and refusing
even to accept it for transmission TO
st. Petersburg. But such a stroke
is not expected. M. Witte knows that
public opinion. both in America and
in Europe. as we'll as in Russia. would
condemn him if he broke off negotia-
tions just as the way was opened for
a possible accord.

Foot Ball Teams Compared.

For the first time possibly in the history
Of foot ball the lover of the game will have
the opportunity to compare the relative
strength Of the foot ball teams Of the north
and south. Michigan will clash with the
team of Vanderbilt University at Ann Ar
Dor on Saturday. 1t is generally admitted
that Vanderbilt is the strongest team In the
whole south and last year proved this by
being scored on but once. and then only by
their strongest rivals. The opening game
this season showed again that the boys
from Tennessee have the foot ball timber
that formed the varsity team of last year.
The fast Maryville team was their oppo-
nents and when the last half Of the game
had closed Vanderbilt University had rolled
UP a score of 81 to o. 1t Is simply another
example of Michigan work of play hard
and play all of the time. McGuigan, the
old guard of the University of Michigan
and pupil of Yost. Is coaching Vanderbilt
and in each play can be seen the methods

has developed remarkable aggregation Of
players. The team averages $50 pounds to
the man and Michigan believes that he
has developed team that will be capable
of holding down the score of Yosts ma
chine in the grIdiron battle which will oc-
cur Saturday. 1t will doubtless be inter-
esting to see the style of play in vogue at
Vanderbilt used upon the Wolverines.

Lexington, KY, yesterday, seven races and

The main event was won by Angola, who
took three out of the four heats trotted, and

Today's Foot Ball Game.

This afternoon at $3.50 o'clock on the
American League Park field the foot ball
team of Technical High School will line up
against that of Business High School, and
a good contest is expected. Technical this
season has a heavy team, but Business has
also some very good players. Capt. Bowles
of Business Is in the line for his team, and
will no doubt do good work. Capt. DuGanne
Of Technical will play at tackle for his
team and will doubtless be power In the
position. Each team has engaged in one
contest Of some note. The rivalry Is very
keen this year between the two teams.
Technical is determined to hold the position
at the top while Capt Bowles has been
working hard to improve his team so as to
make the best showing possible in the high
school championship this year. From the
material at hand 1t seems as though the
plucky captain of Business has to a great
extent succeeded. Technical will doubtless
outweigh his team, but the Blue and Yell
low can be depended upon to put up gall
liant fight, and possibly cause surprise.
