was abandoned.
Wing No. 3. which is to be replaced

PEACE FAR OFF
Czar Still Certain of Victory
Opposes Mediation
Czarevitch Ill--ser-
gius's Funeral.

LONDON. Feb. 81, 19O5.-The peace
puzzle is the uppermost topic of CONVEX
sation among the politicians. diplomats
and newspapers Of Europe. The terms
set forth yesterday in a despatch from
st. Petersburg are not regarded serious
II, largely for the reasons pointed out
by Baron Suyematsl, who in an inter-
view said that Corea is already under
japanese suzerainty. Port Arthur and
the Liaotung peninsula are already in
japanese hands, and they also hold the
greater part of the Chinese Eastern
Railway. Therefore these places are
not at Russia's disposal.
The making Of vladivostok neutral
port, with an open door, was meaning
less. 1t is already trading port, al
though it is fortified. It was a question
whether it would be dismantled. Any
how it would not enter into Japan's
peace condition, but the strangest sug-
gestion of all was that Russia should
hold Manchuria north of Harbin.
She would thus gain by her defeat.
retaining double what she would restore
TO China. As regards the payment of
Russia should not pay one, adding that
she was well able to do so.
Meantime peace talk fills the air, al
though the time and manner Of the end
ing Of hostilities are as far from being
known as ever. The well posted Lon
don correspondent Of the ''Neues Wiener
Tageblatt" has information frouk a
diplomatic source tendingsto confirm the
report that the Gar himself is placing
obstacles in the way Of peace, he being
confident Of ultimate victory. and that
until he is convinced 70 the contrary

FLAGS ON HIGH
National Emblem Flung to
the Breeze Everywhere
to Honor Washing
tons Birthday.


Washington's Birthday was celebrat-
ed in this city yesterday with more en-
thusiasm than usual. 1t has been
remarked by one historian that the
longer Washington was dead the more
his genius and virtues as the Father
of his country would be appreciated.
Almost every resident Of Jersey City
in possession of a national flag flung
the starry banner to the breeze. In
every street down town and on the Hill
the emblem Of liberty waved. The scene
around Van Worst and Hamilton parks
was patriotically inspiring. From nearly
every brownstone front facing Van
Worst Park from Barrow, York and
Montgomery streets and Jersey avenue
the flag waved, and on. the south side
Of York street, from Jersey avenue to
Varick street, every house in the block
was decorated with the national colors.
The same could almost be said Of the
opposite side Of the street.
In the same vicinity the national
colors foated on high from the fagpole
on the roof of the Union League Club,
but even still higher could be discerned
the stars and stripes waving majestical-
" from the highest fagpole in the city,
that in front Of the Robert Davis Asso-
citation. Alongside of it fioated the
same emblem from the pole in front Of
No. 3 Fire Engine Company's house.
Custodian James Connolly. of the City
Hall, early sent the blessed emblem aloft
on the tall pole of the municipal build
ing, where it proudly fiuttered to the
breeze. Custodian Hogan, Of the County
Court House, sent the colors flying from
the pole on that building.
Wherever ones gaze fell in the streets
it was met with the national colors.

in all the big pleasure resorts with re
ceptions and dances and in almost every
home there were family reunions and
gatherings where the traits and char
acteristics Of the Father Of His Country
was the principal them of discussion.
There were many five O'Clock teas in the
Bergen section, and at some of them
women appeared in Martha Washington
costumes.

Of the members have detective memories
and the clubs treasury suffers as a re-
suit. The cause Of the trouble in the
Seventh Ward Club is the failure Of
the members to give it proper support,
many Of them forgetting tlrat financial
assistance is necessary to keep an or
ganiaation alive. Complaint is made that
among the delinquent members are sew

that the failure of the club to secure
