FiSm in Determination Not to OfRer Japan Advice Untn Asked. @
 Washington, July 30. Japan comes to 1 the Washington conference assued that whatever her peace terms they will have the sympathetic approval of Great Britain. Several suggestions from Washington to London that the cause of peace would be served by an express sion to Japan fro mher ally favorirlg moderation in her demands upon Rus
 sia have not availed to change the Brit. ish government in it's apparently unal- terable determination to stand by Jap-
 an, however severe she makes her con- ditions of peace. Nor has the British government seen it's way clear to rem
 der assistance to Washington in the ef- forts which this government Is making to obtain an arrnistice. Advices reach- ing here show that London is opposed to an armistiee until Japan has been satisfied that Russia's plenipotentiaries are prepared to do more than discuss means of ending the war; if Russia is
 ready to conclude peace and has so em- powered her plenipotentiaries Great Britain, it is believed, might favor an
 armistice, but even in such event it is said she would not be willing to offer Japan advice on the subject. 1
 As understood in Washington Lord Lansdowne's position is that as the loyal ally of Japan Great Britain can afford to take no step, or assume any attitude that would in the remotest degree rebound to the. advantage of Japan's enemy. However much London may wish peace for humanitarian req sons her loyalty to Japan, whose pledged ally she is, prevents her from even indirectly bringing pressure to bear by suggestions, advice or other wise. at Tolsio regarding the negotia- tions. the effect of which might serve to moderate Japan's peace conditions or hasten a truce. When Japan asks her ally for advice the London govern ment, it is said, is prepared immediate ly to give it, but this advice will be
 based on Japans interest as primary consideration. " s@..

 Future.
 St. Petersburg, July 30.The emperor has issued the following note in reply to an appeal from the clergy of Orenburg' not to conclude shameful peace:
 "The Russian people can rely on me. Never will conclude a shameful peace or one unworthy of great Russia.'' London, July 31.-The Daily Tele-. graphs correspondent on board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, on which M. Witte, the Russian peace p1enipo- tentiary, is q passenger, sends an in tervieW. which he has had with M. Witte, in which the latter said that if Russia and Japan had agreed upon a common basis before appointing peace plenipotentiaries it would have been. much better. As it was, M. Witte said, he regarded himself rather as an inn periar courier sent to ascertain the terms of Japan. He was prepared to. make peace, nevertheless, he added, as his powers were very complete and he would discuss the demands based on Japan's actual military and naval suc- cesses, in a businessiike spirit of give. and take. ys
 But cannot and will not, contin- ued M. Witte, entertain demands based upon expected military successes in the future. I am conversant with the humane intentions of my imperial master, and I will do anything conpat- ible with Russia's honor and dignity to establish that work of which I have been an unswerving advocate. My first task, however, n the new: world will be to search for a basis for fruitful discuss sion.''

PECNPT ACTION ON EXCLUSION,
President Changes Methods OF Rd'
ministerina the Law.

HIlfilSbC' i"H wv @N"
Washington, June 26.-By direction
of President Roosevelt action has
been taken by the administration
which not only will facilitate the land
ing in this country of Chinese OF the en-
empt classes, but will eliminate from
the immigration bureau such admins
trative features as have been the sub
ject of criticism by Chinese. 1t is the
declared intention of the president to
see that Chinese merchants, travellers,
students and others of the exempt
classes shall have the same courtesy
shown them by officers of the immigra'
ton bureau as is accorded to citizens
of the most favored nations. Repre-
sensations have been made to the
president that in view of alleged harsh
treatment accorded to many Chinese
seeking a landing in the United
States, the commercial guilds of China
have determined to institute a boycott
on American manufactures. The rep
reservations, hacked by the authority
of the American Asiatic society and
commercial bodies throughout the
country, induced the president to
make an investigation Of the situation,
with a view to ~remedying the evils
complained of, If they were found to
exist. The subject was discussed
thoroughly by the cabinet and the
president took 1t up personally with
Secretary Metcalf OF the department.
of commerce and labor, who has SUI
pervision of the immigration bureau.
AS a result of the inquiry, orders
have been issued to the diplomatic
and consular representatives Of the
United States in China by the presi-
len himself that they must look close
ly to the performance of their duties
under the exclusion law and see to II
that members of the exempt classes
coming to this country are provided
with proper certificates. These Ger
tifcates will be accepted at any port
of the United States and will guar
antee the bearer against any harsh OF
~discourteous treatment. Such treat
, ment, indeed, will be the cause OF
5 the instant dismissal of the offending
: official whoever he may be.
In addition to the presidents orders
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruc
( tions to the immigration officers which
1t is believed will remedy the diff
Guilty heretofore complained Of by thu
Chinese government and individuals
II is anticipated that the prompt &C
ton taken by this government t
S meet the objections made by the CHI
d nese will eliminate the possibility O
e serious trade troubles between Chin
d and the manufacturers of this countr.
