PEACE TERMS COMMENT
BARON HAYASHrS VIEWS ON
THE INDEMNITY CLAUSE.

LONDON, August 19.-Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister to Great Britain
said to the Associated Press today:
"If the Russian government does not in
struct its plenipotentiaries to concede the
indemnity clause the war will go on. This
seems to be the only clause not agreed to
In principle. but ample compensation must
be made to Japan in one form or another.
when the japanese entered the confer
ence they made the statement that they
were not 'bluffing.' 1t will be found in the
end that they have not been.
LAS to the intentions of the Russians we
have no means Of knowing. | do not know
Baron komuras plans for Tuesday and do
not know whether the meeting then will
simply be for the purpose of signing proto-
coils. have only been informed regarding ac-
complished facts and not to Intentions |
think, however, that our plenipotentiar ries
would accept the amount demanded in some
other form than that of an indemnity, but
the principle of our demands must be COM
piled with. So long the sum demanded
is paid l do not think we are going to
bubble about form"
Baron Hayashi said he could not under

fishing Emperor Nicholas manifesto pro-
mitigating a national assembly at this Juno
ture, but he thought II significant. On this
account he said he held less hopeful view

Opinion That Both Sides Are Prepared

PARIS. August 19.-Hope still prevails in
diplomatic circles with reference to the
prospects of peace, though certain
amount of anxiety is evident owing to the
apparent deadlock in the negotiations. A
highly placed official declared this morning
1t was almost unimaginable that Russia

aries such distance without knowing that
the possibility of concluding a peace ar
rangement existed
In order to effect such a result it was a
sine qua non that both sides should be pre-
pared to concede points. 1t was foreseen,
the official said, that the respective bellige-
rents would exhibit some firmness relative

SUICIDES CAUSED COMMENT
Two Young Women Died Because of
Unrequited Love.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
OWINGSVILLE, Ky. August 1.-two
women have committed suicide because
John DamrOn, a handsome young Pike
county mountaineer, did not return the
tender affection which they saw fit to be-
stow upon him. Yesterday Hattie William
son, the eighteen -year-old daughter of Tay-
lo' Williamson, wealthy Pike county
merchant, committed suicide in bed by
swallowing morphine. When the door of
her room was opened the empty morphine
bottle was on a table by the bed and un-
der ii was a note in which she stated that
she could not live without John Damson
and he did not love her.
These statements were almost similar
to those made by Mary Gunnels, another
Pike county girl who committed suicide
some time ago by shooting herself in the
head with a pistol. She left a note stat
ing that John Damron did not love her
and she could not live without him. Dam
ron is member of a prominent family of
Pikeville, KY, and is wealthy.
The girls who committed suicide be-
cause of their infatuation for him were
entire strangers. vet their handwriting
was similar in many respects, and their
notes were almost precisely similar in
phrasing. The cases have caused much
comment.
