Berlin, June 17.-Count Inouye, the
Japanese minister to Germany, de-
clares, in an interview in the Lokal
Anzeiger, that the prospects for the
establishment Of peace depends who'll

plenipotentiaries, rather than a mere
diplomatist commission to learn ia

must be authorized not merely to hear
Japan's conditions, but to at the same
time enter into serious peace negotia-
tions.
Japan expects only commissioners
equipped with such powers, the min
lister says, and will name its terms only
to such representatives of Russia as are
empowered to end the war.
Count Inouye says he does not know

St. Petersburg, June 17.-Although in
the absence of official advices the Rus
sian government is not yet able to an
nounce the definite conclusion of ar
rangements for the meeting of the
Russian and japanese p1enipotentiaries,
the foreign office authorized the state
ment that negotiations 10 that end
were progressing rapidly, and issued
communication for publication in this
mornings newspapers acquainting the
public with the speedy progress toward
the opening of the conference.
Count Cassini's report of the selec-
tion of Washington from the cities ia
vored by Russia has not yet arrived,
but it is thought the ambassador is
awaiting the fixing the date of the
meeting, which again will depend on
the travelling arrangements Marquis
Ito, president OF the Japanese privy
council, and M. Nelidoff, Russian am
bassador TO Paris, will be able to make,
and on the time necessary to perform
the journey. After final arrangements
have been made the foreign Office, it is
expected, will issue another official
note announcing.the successful compile
ton of steps preliminary to the con-
ference and naming Russia's represen-
tative or representatives..
The communication to the foreign
office is as follows:
According to advices from Wash
ington, Immediately after the receipt
of the Russian note responding to the
proposition of President Roosevelt, ne
gotiations as to the place and the time
of meeting commenced. These nego-
tiations are proceeding speedily, but
are not yet actually finished"
Pessimistic ehauvinists are building
mountains out of the wording of the
press dispatch from Washington an
nouncing that Great Gritain was un-
wiling to use her influence with ia
pan to moderate her ally's terms, de-
claring that if it meant that Great
Britain had sounded Japan and found
her in mood, to insist on a heavy
indemnity and other humiliating de-
mands, it also meant the indefinite
prclongation Of the war.
The general disposition, however, is
to suspend Judgment until Japan re-
veals her terms.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS


Pursuant to request from the Exec

mitted to Gov. Vardaman a very inter-
esting statement showing the financial
condition Of the State, present and
prospective. The Governors object in
securing the. financial summary is to
determine whether it will be neces-
sary to borrow the $780,, 900 author
lied at the last session of the legis-
lature, and the statement from Mr.. Mill
ler indicates that the State will be able
to get along without asking for loan.
Mr.. Miller figures out that there will
be about $1,000 on hand on the first of
January. This viii be skirting rather
close to shore, especially if his estimates
Of prospective receipts should fall short

the State will be able to pull through

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Newark Advertiser:
The state census gives to Newark a
total of 81, 1853 dwellings, housing a
population of 2S3, $50. Jersey City
has 26, 63S dwellings and 23,699 popu-
lation. In Newark there are 7.6 per-
sons to 4 dwelling, and in Jersey City
there are 81 persons to a dwelling In
Paterson the number of persons to a
dwelling IS rs. In Trenton the ratio
is SIS. In Camden it is AS. in Hobo
ken IA, in Elizabeth & 4. These are
the large cities. In purely residential
towns. and especially in suburban
places the number of families cores
ponds more nearly to the number Of
dwellings. In East Orange, Nutley,
Montelair and similar municipalities
a single family occupies a dwelling.
There are no tenements or hotels
Jersey City has the greatest number
of families as compared with dwell
ings because of its large tenement
population.
Newark Advertiser:
Charles c. Blacks ideas in regard
to railroad taxation now represent
the universal conviction of people in
New Jersey. In his speech on that
subject last night, Mr.. Black was not
discussing a party issue. The ques-
ton has ceased to be an issue before
the people. It is now an issue be-
tween the people and the railroad
corporations. Republicans and dem
ocrats are in hearty concord on the
railroad tax question.
1t is the same with the limited
franchises. That question finds the
people, irrespective of political party,
on one side and public utility cor
porations on the other.
On broad questions of state policy,
affecting the rights and interests and
welfare of all clhsses, the people are
bound to get together, as they now
are, for equal TAXATION and restricted

A GROWING CIRCULATION.
company

The actual number of copies of the
EVENING NEWS circulated yester-
day was 1912. This does not include
the papers wasted in printing or the
left-overs. This means that 1912
copies of the EVENING NEWS were
carried away from this Office to be
circulated among the people of this
vicinity. This is double the actual
paid circulation of any other local
newspaper. Figuring that on the
average four persons see each copy
of the paper, this means that 13,24S
people in this section of MiddleseX
county and southern end of Staten
Island, read the EVENING NEWS
last night. This fact should be borne
in mind by the advertisers. We in
vite the fullest investigation in this
matter. Anyone interested enough
to know car call at our Office and we
will show, in a detailed statement,
made out every day. just how many
papers the newsboys took out, how
many went TO the n~ewsdealers, how
many our own carriers took, how
many went to our n~eighboring towns
and how many are on the mailing
list. Yesterday this totalled up to
1912, as has already been stated.
AS this is somthing like 500 more
than we were circulating this time
last year, we feel that we have rea-
son to be encouraged and that the
present independent policy of the
NEWS is meeting with popular APP
prevail.
The NEWS is endeavoring to give
the people of this community a

TUESDAY, OCTOBER II.
STATEN ISLAND RAPID TRANSIT.

The Staten Island Rapid Transit
seems to be going from bad to worse.
1t was thought when the new ferry
house was built at the foot of Smith
street that a new era was dawning
and that the picturesque ride across
the island to New York was going to
be made really attractive, 1t seems
we were doomed to disappointment,
although we didn't know it at the
time. According to the stories of
commuters and other patrons of the
road, the service now is worse than
ever, and, Sunday the schedule was
evidently thrown TO the winds with
out any apparent reason.
We hear reports of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company, which
owns the rapid transit. issuing bonds
for millions of dollars for improve
ments on the island, but we fail to
see the improvements. Perhaps
something is being done along the
north shore, but it is evident that the
Amboy division has thus far been ig-
nored.
The Staten Island route to New
York could easily be made the most
popular way to New York, if the own
ers of the rapid transit would but
spend a little money for the benefit
Of its passengers-we do not call it

gers, for the road can go a long way
