lish, on account of the impracticability
of using either japanese or Russian.
Since the negotiations are to be held on
American soil, the choice of Anglo-Sax-
on as the language in which they should
be- conducted, would be a delicate COM
pilment to the United States and would
PLACE neither party at a disadvantage.
When the American and Spanish peace
commissioners met in Paris their place
or oSSemblage for the daily conferences
was at the French foreign office. There
the dlplomatic room and also a number
of ante-rooms We're placed at their dis
poSal.
The American commissioners. however,
did not coEfne all their conferences to
the foreign o1sce. They held meetings
among themselves in their quarters at
the Continental Hotel
II may be that a similar procedure will
occur IN Washington, The Arlington
Hotel has for long time been the head
quarters of Baron Kaneko, a distin-
guished japanese statesman. who, 1t is
salo, may play part in the negotia-
Mons. Very likely the ENJOYS win meet

equally possible that the Russian envoys
may make their headquarters. and the
craving up OF the treaty may even
take place there.
Japan's Terms.
Some idea of the probable terms to be
contained in the treaty of peace be-
tween Russia and Japan have been
learned here. as follows:
An indemnity from Russia not to ag-
gregate more than the cost of the war,
and possibly not more than $500 600 coz.
TO be discharged on easy terms.
Japan's control Of Korea and the
Laio-Tung peninsula.
japanese or international control of
the Manchurian railway.
restoration Of Manchuria to China.
Renewal OF the adherence of Russia
door,
This is based on the idea that Japan
VIII be moderate in her terms toward
Russia in order to insure the treaty
being signed. The United States. Ger
many and France are all exerting their
influence on Japan to be As moderate
as possible In treating with Russia.
England has declined to show her
hand in the matter, bsiieving her ALT
ance with Japan of a character to pre-
vent her bringing pressure to bear
Japan 1t is said feels disposed NOT to
require the demolition of the fortifica-
ions at vladivostok Or the cession of
the Island of Sakalin. At both of these
propositions Russia might balk
