Estimates in London of Japans
Probable Demands.

Tuna 1o-while the British govern
ruent is not taking any part IN the heso'ia C1o''
If Is giving the most cordial support TO Fresi-
dent Roosevelt Of whose actions IN the halisF
;t has been kept fully Informed. Diplomatic anu
or7c;aI circles speak in the highest terms of the
5fnlon,atic manner in which the President han
died the matter and are fully in accord with
what they consider to be the only way In whlch
the difficulty could be overcome The United
States. not being entangled In any way, was
auv the only country which could take ac-
ton but even President Roosevelt could not do
more than endeavor to start direct negollauohs
between the belligerents-
Japan, it can be stated, refused to start the
negotiations until fully assured OF the earnest
ness CT Russia and OF serious consideration OF
her proposals. Her demands viii include an In
dennity, the amount OF which has been hxed by
the japanese government and on this point the
President is urging lenient treatment 1t is I'M
darstood that Russia now admits in principle
that the demand for indemnity is justified
It is considered here that japan is entitled an
indemnity. and il is pointed out that, while its
payment might affect the standing Of Russia
among the powers. it is not serious the
loss of territory. Furthermore, the payment of
indemnity would be forgotten sooner than the
loss of territory and would leave no feeling for
revenge
Financial circles in London are Of the opinion
that Japan viii demand about s.. 600 10000
that being their estimate of the cost to the jap
anese of the sixteen months fighting This is
considered in some quarters to be TOO large an
estimate of the expenditure. which is thought
TO be nearer S600.O000O0
Diplomatic circles here are of the opinion that
the plenpotentiaries will meet in Washington
Baron de Rosen. probably representing Russia
It is suggested that the terms of Japan win
probably also include the acknowledgment of a
japanese protectorate Corea, the total
Russian evacuation of Manchuria the handing
over OF Russian interests on the Iiao-Tung
Peninsula to Japan and the cession of the rail-
road from Port Arthur to Hardin. The question
OF the island Of Saghalien will also be raised
1t is thought that the amount of indemnity
which viii be demanded by Japan will depend
In some measure on other conditions. If these
are considered TO he such as viii insure a dura-
Die peace the indemnity will be less than il
would be otherwise.

RUSSIA'S GRAViST PERIL.
Pomlar Bitterness GroYing a gd'7'st
Rule of Autocrats.

c. Petersburg. Tune 1O-The Radical press,
which hounds the government no matter "hie''
way II turns is promptly seeking TO take ao-
vantage OF the situation created oy ehe
possibility Of peace. Although for months IL
has been preaching peace and the apanoohiieiI
of the whole of the Manchurian adventure at
any cost, it has already veered. and pretends TO
be Mortified at the fact that Russia can contem-
plate the possibility of surrendering her posi-
ton on the Pacific and purchasing peace at the
price of indemnity after the sacrifice of mill
ions OF the peoples money and thousands OK
lives Only the people. 1t says. shall decide
whether the country shall submit to this hu-
initiation.
These tactics will produce the more effect since,
far as the indemnity goes, the Radical papers
undoubtedly reflect the views of the masses OF
the Russian people well those prevalent
In official circles. The status Of Vladivostok
and the question of an indemnity are sure to be
the main obstacles to an agreement, but the
crisis which the solid elements of the opposition
irving to precipitate constitutes the chief
danger. Solemn words of warning, such as
those uttered by the Moscow Zemstvo Congress
cannot be lightly thrust aside. although the
government is getting accustomed to hard words.
The organization known as the League OF
Leagues yesterday at Moscow threatened to
translate words into acts unless the government
yielded. The league resolved not only to begin
a strike of all the professional classes. but to
arm In self defence unless the demands were
met 1t also bound itself not to testify at politi-
cal trials and to provide for members families
in case any of the members suffered arrest or
exile.
Months ago NJ White. president Of the COM
mtttee Of Ministers. said:
There will be no internal crisis now while
the lasts. The crisis will come when tho
war ends.

"A BUNCH OF KEYS.'

Gus Bothner's annual presentation of HOyt's "A Bunch of Keys" Saturday afternoon and evening is surely sur vival of the Attest in farce comedy. It has outlived many play of it's kind and to-day stands out boldly as a rep resentative of American fun and hu- nor. First produced in 1882, it still attracts large audiences in every city because of its own merit and because of the generous manner in which Man. ager BOthner equips it each season. X high standard of excellence in cast, costumes and scenery is continually maintained and each succeeding sea- sons attempt seems more ambitious than that of the preceding one. Every prominent comedian in America has nt one time or another appeared in "A Bunch of Keys" and hit in one of its characters has always meant se- cure position on our stage. For this seasons tour of "A Bunch of Keys" Manager B6thner has outdonei himself in Hberality and the entertainment af- forded is genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. The efforts of capa- 'ble company will be enhanced by the interpolation of witty snaps of dia- lOgue. catchy songs. new comedy situ- ations. handsome and beautiful stage settings. Grimes in "A Bunch of Keys" is character that has caused more laughs than any ever created. The Acme quartet will introduce Il screaming novelty in ensemble work and score of college girls will be in the chorus. Prices are 25. B and. 5c cents; matinee 15 and 9 cents.

POLL $
"TfBE SIGN OF THD GROSS" ]"

Wilson Barrett's great play. s'The Sign of the OroSs," to-night's attrac- tion at Polls, is styled religious drama' because the main theme of its stirring story deals with the early yeafs of the Christian religion when the faithful were being persecuted even unto death in the Roman arena under the terrible rule of Nero. The beautiful pictures of the enduring Christians, their sufferings, heroism and triumph in their faith, have brought this wonderful play especially to the attention of high dignitaries of all Christian churches. and in every city it's fine influence has brought to the playhouse thousands of those for merly classed as non-theater-goers. Mir Barrett and the management of ''The Sign of the Cross have received thou sands of letters commenting this play. These letters would fill large volume but the strong words of Archbishop Kain of St Louis may be aptly quoted. In a letter to the management the archbishop says: From remarks made to me by some who have wit messed The Sign of the Cross,' I am led to the conclusion that this play is a theatrical performance which all may witness, not only with pleasure but profit. It seems to awaken sentiments akin to those excited in the soul of a Christian by witnessing the famous Passion Play Many Christians have an aversion for the theater, and un- occasionally there is good ground for such aversion and condemnation. But 1n The Sign of the Cross Mir Barrett has presented play which will as fully merit the approval as so many other plays deserve the condemnation of protesting Christians. I cannot but express the hope that this is but one of a series of dramas on the same line." Aside from its purely religious atmosphere, however, ''The Sign of the Cross" abounds in stirring scenes and incidents and in dramatic and sen sational climaxes, so that with these powerful adjuncts and with it's mar vellously rich and colorful spectacular arrangements 'The Sign of the Cross" has been accepted and sought after by habitual theater-goers as one of the strongest and most convincing of dra- matic attractions. Prices are $1, 75, 5O, B and 25 cents.

Children born between September and February are, some authorities state. not so tall as those born in the summer and spring months, and the growth of children is much moye rapid from March till August. The extremities grow rap idly up to the sixteenth year, then there is slow growth until the thirtieth year. The legs chiefly grow between the tenth and seventeenth year.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

If manager Poli had racked the booking agencies of this country and Europe to secure headliner for next weeks bill at the Jacques he could not have made a more popular selection than that of Callahan and Mack. whose act "The Old Neighborhood' is re- membered here as the most delightful sketch of it's kind ever presented on the local stage. No team of players ever made such remarkable impress sion here as these two artists sl Irish characterization and the announce ment of their engagement should prove a source of general pleasure. The booking is the result of a great good fortune as the team is engaged solid for the next three years. and it was On- ly the veriest chance that vacant week occurred in the program. Mir Poli lost no time in snapping it up and knowing the enormous hit it made here last season sent the act to Waterbury in preference to any of his other houses. There is not as true bit of character delineation on the variety stage as the two Irish men in ''The Old Neighborhood" and as headliner it is bound to be the biggest success of the season. The Esmerelda sisters with their six sunflower girls will be the supporting feature of the program and from the excellent impression they have made everywhere on the circuit they should turn out to be a decided sensation. Tie girls are remarkably pretty. can sing and dance. and the lightning effects in the act are original and beautiful. Dan Quinlan aIr1 kel- Ter Mack. late minstrel stars. the Retching brothers. in a novelty musi- cal act. the Larrow trio. eccentric co- medians. Curtis and May. singers and dancers. and the brothers Delmar will constitute the remainder of the act. Prices are 10. D and 9 cents: after moons 10 and 9 cents: ladies 10.
