llef of Baron Komura, head OF the Ja-
panese peace delegation, who arrived.
here today, as voiced by Aimar Sato,
whe is the official spokesman for the
Baron on this mission. Mr.. Sato in an
interview said:
"I am confident that peace will be
successfully negotiated by the appoint
ad delegations The Japanese will be.
guided by moderation, and no excess
sive demands will be made, but the
sentiment In Japan and Russia is for.
peace, and in the interest of humanity
and prosperity there must be peace,
The cost to Japan, however, has been,
very great. On both sides the loss in
men has been $4,000. Russia losing.
$4,000 of these. The war is costing
Japan $1,GO0,000 day, and there is
feeling that there ought to be an IN
demnity."
Asked as to the probability Of an ar.
mistice, Mr.. Sato said that probably
would be among the first questions the
plenipotentiaries would consider. Bas-
Ing the form of-the negotiations On
previous treaty negotiations, japan
will make the demands for Russias
consideration, he said.
The peace terms, while held inyiolate
by those who know their text, were
formulated by the Emperor of Japan
and his council. Mr.. Sato was asked
if in the flush Of victory the Japanese
people would not feel entitled to more
than any treaty would allow, and he
replied:
"The Japanese are not so gentle as
to abide by any decision we may make,
3 but theh pay great respect to the 9th
!. ces of President Roosevelt and his acts
! have done a great deal to emphasize
i tn need Of peace"
OF the future of China, Mr.. Sato
said: II the central government could
work in harmony with the district or
provincial governments, China would
become a great power, but at present
that seems to impossible.
Japan's attitude toward China was
most friendly, said Mr.. Sato, and while
maintaining no moral Monroe Doctrine
over the empire, she felt that it was
more or less under Japan's protection,
This protection, by way of illustration,
Mr.. Sato said, was mot so strong over
China as that of the United States over
South America.
Mr.. Sato said that while a desire for
peace was the sentiment OF Japan, 1t
was not desire for peace at any
nrice. "Japan is In very prosperous
condition at present" he said, "and
the war taxes do not fall heavily upon
the peoule yet. There has already been
subscribed s25O,00O,OOO to new inter-
nal loan, and our prosperity is further
indicated in the success of our foreign
loans"
The question was put to Mr.. Sato as
to any possibility of conflict with the
United States in the future, as sugges-
ted by some of the American press at
the outbreak Of the war;. and Mr.. Sa-
to asked what could bring about such
e conflict When it was suggested that
Japan might covet the Philippine Is
lands, he laughed heartily, and replied
that japan woud not have the Philip
pines as a gift, even though a bonus
accompanied the gift.
Baron Komuro and his party arrived
from Chicago and proceeded at once
to the Waldorf-Astoria, where they
will be uuartered until his departure
for Portsmouth. There was no DEM
onstration beyond the presence OF a
few Japanese merchants and members
Of th Nippon Club.

AFTER HABITUAL DRUnkARD'
REPRESENTATIVE WEBER HAS A
BILL THAT WILL PREVENT
THEM GETTING LIQUOR.
Can Be Punished for Soliciting Other
Persons to Furnish Them With
the Fiery Fluid.

|, Representative William H. Weber Of
Walla Walla county has introduced a
bill in the house at Olympia, which, if
it becomes a law will have tendency
to put stop to the probated drunk
ards securing liquor. Under the pres
ent system it Is an easy matter for a

some one to go to a saloon and pur-

Weber's bill makes it a misdemanor
for any habitual drunkard to purchase
or offer to purchase liquor. The bill
reads as follows:
Section 1. That chapter of VOL 2
of Ballinger's codes and statutes of the
state Of Washington be, and the same
is hereby amended to read as follows:

MANUAL TRAINING ATTRACTIVE
Remarkable Rate Of Increase In En-
roiIment in Manual FARMING.

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 2.-As an
index to the remarkable growth in
popularity of the course of manual
training installed In the public schools
last September the number of appli-
cants to enter in the winter is exactly
the same as those who started the
course last fall. In all 900 boys are
now enrolled for regular work in the
new practical course Of study. This
number has made necessary the en-
ploying of an assistant instructor for
o. L. Whitcomb, who had charge Of the
work during the fall ]. L. Kirchen,
at present in charge of the ungraded
school, will devote such time as he
can spare from his work to keeping
600. youngsters busy in woodwork.
Not only has the number of entries
this winter equaled the number for
the fall, an unusual occurrence in sew
enth and eighth grades, the pupils Of
which are alone entitled to instruc-
ton in manual training, but the total
number Of boys who are enrolled in
the two grades this winter. 600. is 1872
more than were enrolled year ago, or
an increase Of nearly 80 per cent in
the very grades in which boys are sup
posed to drop out more rapidly than
anywhere else in the school course.
The normal rate of increase in the
city schools Is 10 per cent year, and
school authorities are jubilant over the
remarkable increase of boys in the two
high grammar grades and believe that
manual training has been largely re-
sronsible for it.
1t is also significant, they say that
500 girls were enrolled last fall in the
two high grammar grades and only 200
are added by this winters class, where
the number Of boys in the same grades
exactly doubled in the same time.
The advance class in manual train
ms will begin work on practical join
cry within the next few days, and
their first experimental work will be
| the making of an original design of a
| book rack Each youngster is required
to submit a complete drawing Of the
work before cutting into the wood.
