the policy Of the United States
in such matters as outlined in
the correspondence between the
state department and Holleben,
German ambassador here, in con-
nection with the German naval
demonstration at La Guerra in
the winter of 1902, the French
government is proceeding on the
theory that there will be no in

PEACE NOT FAR AWAY
ALI But Two of Cars Ministers
Favor Peace 0vertures to
Japanese Government.

st. Petersburg, March a.
The party within the govern
ment which is urging the en-
peror to indicate to japan Rus
sia's willingness to end the war
if a reasonable basis can be
reached, as related in these dis
patches on March 20, have been
greatly encouraged the last few
days, and an actual pacific prop
osal may be just ahead. The
subject has occupied much of
the attention of conferences at
Tsarkoe-Selo.
Certain grand dukes, support
ed by General Sakharoff, min
lister of war; Admiral Avellan,
head of the admiralty and what
is known as the war party, are
still bitterly opposed to the idea
of peace under the present cir
cumstances, but, with the ex-
ception of the ministers of war
and marine, the emperor's min
listers, baked by NJ. Witte, solid
ly favor this course, and the con-
vincing arguments they offer are
telling. French influences in
the same direction are now be-
ing supported by German opin-
ion.
The rumor noted by the Asso-
citation Press last week that EN-
peror William had rendered his
good Offices now seems to be con-
firmed. The Associated Press is
in a position to assert, however,
that if Emperor Nicholas decides
to approach Japan it will be
through France, and that the
negotiations will be conducted
either between M. Delcasse,
French foreign minister, and DIR,
Montono, japanese minister at
Paris, or M. Harmand, French
minister to Japan, and Count
Katsura, japanese premier at
| Toxic.
The Russian government now
feels certain that Japan will moi
make the first move nor disclose
her position until overtures are
made authoritatively in the EN-.
peror's name on the ground thai
he alone is capable of binding
Russia. 1t is quite possible that
Japan's attitude in this regarC
has been exposed through un
official attempts to ascertain
terms. Japan, it will be re
membered, took the same posi-
tion when Herr Detring, German
commissioner of customs at Tiel
Tsin, without plenary powers
sought to obtain Japan's term
for ending the Chino-Japanese
war, declining to treat until L
Hung Chang, accompanied b,
John Foster, went to Toxic
clothed with full powers.

Port to OoerCe Castro.
Washington, March 20. 1T is
the expectation here that the ap-
pearance of ships at La Guayara
will cause President Castro to
accede promptly to the demands
of the French minister, failing
which the minister probably will
place the legation in the care Of
some other minister at Caracas
and go abroad one of the war
ships, thus severing diplomatic
relations between France and
Venezuela.
The present situation cannot
continue more than a few days,
according to the official opinion
there. There may be some fur
ther exchanges relative to the
affairs of the cable company
through third parties, and the
possibility of pressure being
brought to bear on President
Castro by other diplomats at
Caracas is suggested.

F!RE AND DEGTH
Many Lives Lost in a Disastrous
Fire and Explosion.

Fire and Explosion.
Brockton, Mass, March 20.-
At least sixty persons were kill
ed early today by the explosion
of boiler in the large shoeman-
ufacturing establishment in the
Campbello district conducted by
the r. B. Grover company. The
explosion was Immediately fol-
lowed by a flash of flame, which
consumed the factory as if it
were a house of cards, and incin-
/ Grated an unknown number of
men and women who were un-
able to extricate themselves from
| the mass Of tangled wreckage
formed by the terrific upheaval
lin the boiler room. More than
fifty of the employees in the build
ling were manned, burned or
bruised by the time they reached
safe ground. Some had jumped
from the roof, some from the
windows and others had been in
iured in the mad rush to escape
from the doomed factory. which
4 from all parts emitted the heat
of an inferno, driving back the
band Of heroic rescuers who in a
few moments had performed gal
liant service.
The explosion, which was fol-
lowed by such a sacrifice of life
and entailed appalling instances
of human suffering, occurred
shortly after the operatives had
settled down to work for the day,
and without warning suddenly
the air vibrated with.the roar Of
an explosion. At the same mo-
ment the large wooden frame Of
the factory, a four-story struc-
ture, quivered and then the rear
portion Of it collapsed.
This section of the great build
, ing had been transformed into a
! mass of iron and wood wreckage,
in the midst of which human
, beings were pinioned. In an.
other moment fire had broken
out in the debris and death by
fire and suffocation became the
fate of scores of operatives.
When the boiler exploded il

After rising in the airit descend

Scenes Of horror followed the

with a crash that as heard TO
