Have Nothing to Say.

New York. July 2S.-No statement was
given out at the headquarters of the
Japanese peace commission today relative
to the visit of President Roosevelt yester-
day of Baron Komura and Kogoro Taxa
hira, the Japanese commissioners. Aimar
Sato, minister resident of the Emperor of
Japan, who is the official spokesman for
the commission, said to the Associated
Press today:
There Is no statement to make about
the visit of the Baron and Mr.. Takarira.
1t was most formal visit and no ques-
tions of any Importance relating to the
coming negotiations were touched upon.
There was not even time for discussion of
matters that by precedent go before the
parties of the negotiations
THE question of an armstiee is one
that is considered at formal meetings. and
/ can assure you that President Roosevelt
made no request for armistice'
Inquiry was made of Mr.. Sato as to the
attitude of the japanese question of an
armistice, and he replied:

1akahashi Says Japans Terms
VIII be Reasonable
CAN BORROW STILL FURTHER
Even II Peace Is Declared Japan VIII
Have to Borrow Money for De-
velopment of New
Country.

London, July 29-The statist this morn
ing publishes an interview with Korelyo
Takahashi, the special finance commits
sioner of Japan, who expresses himself
as confident that peace will result in
the coming negotiations. He bases his
hope in his personal conviction, that
Japan's demands will be reasonable. and
that the true interests of Russia require
that she make peace. The appointment of
NJ Witte he adds. strengthens this hope.
Should hostilities continue Mr. Takahashi
says Japan Is in a position to prosecute
them successfully, as she has on hand
as result of the two recent loans the
means to carry on the conflict for a con-
siderable time, and If the war should
continue there is no question that she
will be able to borrow further
Can Borrow still Further.
When 1t was first concluded to borrow,
Japan decided that 1t would be best for
her own interests and fairest to those
making the loans to give special security,
said Mr. Takahashi, and she can continue
to do that, pledging railroads and pub
lie works. Japan.s profits from railways
are more than a million sterling annual
ly; her profits from the tobacco mon
opoly are more than three millions: from
the camphor monopoly over one hundred
sterling making in all security to a
very large sum- Besides the land income
tax, this allows of large increase.
Large Sums Necessary.
Asked whether Japan should have to
borrow should peace be declared. Mr..
Takahashi answered in the affirmative
pointing out that large sums would be
necessary for the development of For
mosa. Korea and Hokkaido. Shonld Japan
be entrusted with protection over Man
churia until China was in position to
give effectual protection, he continued,
1t would be necessary to put a consider
able sum there also. Besides it would be
OF the utmost importance that japan
pay the loans raised at home, as the re-
turn of this money would result in the
trade development of the country.
Should an indemnity be paid by Rus
sla, Mr.. Takahashi concluded. it could
be used to pay off the internal loans and
provide for the winding up of the war,
but there still would be a large sum re-
quired for the development of Japan and
her dependencies.

Which Commission Shall First

IS VERY DELICATE MATTER
Great Finesse Required to Avoid Of
Tending Either Japanese or Rus
Sian Diplomats-Sato Talks
About an Armistice.

Washington. July -(speciai.)-whic
of the peace envoys shall be presented to
President Roosevelt first?
This is a question which is understood
to be causing no little concern to state de-
partment officials in charge of the ar
rangements for taking care of the Japa-
nese and Russian commissioners in their
visit to Oyster Bay. Never has the stats
department had to deal with a more deli
cate and important question of diplomatic
etiquette than is involved in the entertain-
ment of the Russian and Japanese en-
voys. Should the Russian plenipoten-
tiares, through seniority of age, be given
the first place in the presentation to the
President. then the sensitive Japanese
will feel slighted.
Fine Points VIII Crop Out.
This is not the only question. either.
that will come up as to precedent There
still remains the momentous question az
to who is to occupy the seat at the Presl-
dents right hand at the luncheon table
when the first meeting occurs in tha
cabin of the United States cruiser May
flower. Then who Is to board the May
flower first These and many other fine
points will crop out a through the pre-
llminary arrangements. Officially, each
government has settled the respective
rank of its commissioners by designating
them as first and second plenipotentiaries.
M. Witte ranks first on the Russian com-
mission and Baron Komura the Japanese.
But as to the seniority of the commis-
sions themselves there is no one to settle
the point except the United States Of
ficials. 1t is to be expected that the MEM
bers Of the respective commissions will ba
on the dui vive to see that no special ia
vors are accorded. Altogether the task OF
conveying the commissioners about will
be one requiring the utmost finesse.

the subject which has given me instruc-

During the fever of 1897 and 1898. when
the mosquito theory was not attempted
to be carried into effect. there was a wide
spread impression that yellow fever germs
could be transmitted through the mails.
and there was general reluctance outside
of New Orleans to receive letters and
packages that had not been thoroughly
fumigated. The consequence was that the
postoffiee department undertook the dis
infection Of letters and they were sent
away from New Orleans freely punctured
and smelling of insecticides. No steps
have been taken TO resume that prac-
tice and It Is believed the government
will proceed on the theory that only the
mosquitoes can carry the Infection

Willing for Armistice.


Japan is perfectly willing to agree to
an armistice after the credentials of both
commissions have been examined and ver-
flied.
'"rhe examination of credentials must
necessarily be the first duties of the peace
delegates to ascertain that all are quail
fled In the capacity to which they are
represented. In the negotiations for peace
that ended the Chinese war, | remember
there was much delay because the creden-
tials of one Of the Chinese 1lenipoten-
tiaries did not bear the Emperor's seal
granting him plenary powers.
However. | think an armstice will be
agreed upon after the commissions enter
formally upon this work. 1t has been tho
custom in all peace negotiations TO cease
hostilites during the convention of peace
plenipotentiaries,"
Mr.. Sato was asked as to the defnite
powers Of the members OF his commission
and said:
They have power to reject any pro-
posal and commit the Japanese govern
ment to any document they may sign.
subject. of course to the sanction of the
Emperor"
The report that China intended asking
an indemnity, Mr.. Sato had read. and
regarding this he said:
China Can Not Ask Indemnity.
Japan. 1t was her inability or unwilling
ness to keep Russia out of Manchuria
that forced us into the war"
Throughout the day Baron Komura
has applied himself closely to his Of
fetal duties Many dispatches are trans
mitted to and from Toxic. and all the
secretaries with the suite are taxed with
an enormous amount of work
Tonight Baron Komura and his suite
dined with the trustees Of the Japanese
club.
Mr. Sato commented upon the reception
to Secretary Taft In Toxic. and said he
had read the reports with great inter-
est. The fact that the historic chrysan-
themum gardens had been thrown open
to the party, Mr.. Sato said was indca-
tive of the feeling towards Americans In
Japan.
These gardens are almost sacred in
our country" said Mr. Sato. ''and this is
the first time they have been opened to
a foreign citizen II is marked dis
tinction. and honor. They are opened for
our own people but twice year"

The Rev. Beverly Warner. general
superintendent of the volunteer work in
the various wards, today issued a let
ter to the executive officers of each ward
association asking that daily reports be
submitted to him of what has been ac-
complished the preceding day, the number
of houses visited. cesspools, etc. treated:
cisterns oiled and screened, and such 9TH
ed details as will assist the board of
health to an exact knowledge of the situ-
ton. ward map has been sent to each
war association. Large quantities of oil
have been donated by the oil companies
to be used In the disinfeetion of cutters
and stagnant water.
In order to bring before the masses Of
the people the experiment as in Cuba and
elsewhere. which have brought the whole
medical fraternity into agreement on the
mosquito theory. the Progressive union
today gave to the printer much Of the
subject matter contained In the memorial
