Il has been pointed out that the com

suit I'm vastly improved health conditions
to the residents of a neighoorhood IN
which they were ioca ted. commissioner
Biddles attention has been called TO the
tendency of the property owners IN some
of the suburban sections TO build their
houses closely together and without any
particular thought being given 10 spa
cious grounds. whereas in other cities.
particularly throughout the west. great
care and attention is given TO the I'M
provement OF the landscape conditions
about the dwellings.
This condition. IL is said has settled IN
his mind the necessity Of a system OF
small parks TO provide against future
crowding. and enable the people or any
locality to enjoy breathing spots without
being compelled to go to a park distant
from their own neighborhood.
Lump Sum Appropriation.
Commissioner BiddIe's plan. 1t is saIo.
is to secure a SUFFICIENT appropriation
from Congress In the shape OF iuEap
sum, and then to purchase the park sites
as they are found available ana oeslra-
BILE. This plan is recommended as the
best means of enabling the person or
COMMITTEES who has charge or the pur-
chase of the park sites 20 work unhamp-
cred and with as little publicity as pos
sible.

at an exorbitant price. II will be recon-
mended, II is thought. that the proposed
park system be given into the nanos OF
the District Commissioners or a cOmmls-
sion composed OF engineers OF the Unlteo
States army appointed BY Congress.
Although 1t is thought that the COM
Inissioners will, IN the event or the
scheme meeting with success II CON

new parks. In view of the racJ that the
cost of maintaining them would Iai
largely on the District, they are salo
to be too much in favor of the success
of the movement TO make this question
the subject of controversy.

THAT TROUBLE IN HAYTIl1
Seems To BE Fear of Mob Law by the
Haytiens Against Syrians-GOv-
ernment Watchful.

Fort-au-Prince, Hayti, March 81. -
Some scenes of disorder provoked by
Haytien soldiers occurred in the mar
ket streets, but were quietly sup
pressed by the police. The government
has decided to maintain order, and has
taken great precautions, and it is be-
lieved that in spite Of the excitement
among the people against the Syrians
rioting will be avoided. President
Nord has issued orders to vigorously
suppress all attempts to pillage.
All the Syrians have closed their
stores and those who are United States
or French citizens or British subjects
have hOisted the flags of their respec-
tive nationalities over their residences
and stores. The Syrians believe they
will be able to reopen for business
April or 4, hoping that the excite
ment of the populace will have Gained
down by that time, but the hostile at
titude of the people against the Syrians
leads to the fear that grave incidents
may occur the day they reopen.

CAN 7 ELIMINATE
THAT INDEMNITY
Russia's NEGATIVE" Propositions

spouse from Japan.
OPINIONS OF BARON UAYAsH1
Indemnity and Cession the Only Things
Left to Negotiate.
Japan Now Has All She Went to Wax
for Financial Agent Is More
Specific-Tokio Editors
Views.

London, March 31.-Peace talk is
prevalent everywhere, but that nego-
tiations have commenced is still posi-
lively denied in oil official circles here.
The foreign office disclaims even hav-
ing any knowledge of peace proposals.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister,
declared to the Associated Press that
he had no information in regard to the
announcement contained in the St.
Petersburg dispatches of the Associ-
ated Press that Russia had indirectly
made known to Japan the negative
conditions on which peace might be
concluded, namely, no cession of terri
tory and no indemnity, leaving japan
to determine whether peace negotia-
tons could be begun upon that basis.
Only Two Points Negotiable.
He said unreservedly that the terms
then mentioned could not even be
considered, and added: "a cession Of
territory and an indemnity are the
only points negotiable, as Japan's ante
bellum demands have already been Sc
cured by Japan" M. Takahashi fhe
japanese special financial commission
err in an interview said to the Asso-
ciated Press: ''The war cost between
S250,O0O,0OO and $3OOO00,OOO the first
year, and it is estimated that it will
cost $350,0O0O00 during the present
year. 1t would be unprecedented in
the history of great wars that no in
demnity and no territory be given up
by the vanquished. While it is beyond
my province to discuss terms Of peace
I can express my personal opinion that
as the war was forced upon Japan it
Is not likely that she will waive the
right to an indemnity and cession of
territory when concluding peace.
Indemnity Will Be Demanded.
"What indemnity will be demanded
/ cannot say, but it is my private opin-
Ion that it will at least cover the eX-
pense of the war. If Russia assumes
that continuance of the war will de-
plete our finances before hers it will
be another mistake of judgment on
her part. If Russia is prepared for
the test Of a war of finances we are
willing. The longer the war lasts the
more certain it will be that it will not
be resumed
