[Scripps News Service j

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 24.-M. Ish-
kaw, editor of the Hochi Shinlbum,
published at Toxic, in answer ito an
inquiry received a cablegram from
his paper to the effect that Japan will
not view with favor any modification
of the peace demands that includes
sale of part of the island of Saghalin,
or the waving of Japan's claim for
reimbursement for war expenses. The
reply says:
"The possession of the island of
Saghalin in it's entirety is of great
vitalness to the people of Japan and
it cannot be divided Forty-five years
ago Russia proposed to divide the is
land, but Japan would not consent
declaring that the whole belonged to
Japan. The proposed indemnity of
a billion would not be the cost of the
war. do net like the attitude of the
Russians. If Russia maintains it's
present attitude it is doubtful wheth-
er we must not fight for a lasting
peace"
The Shinbum is the organ of Count
Okuma, former prime minister, and
the expression is regarded aus that of
Okllma.
ENJOYS Are Resting.
The Japanese and Russian envoys

advantage of the beautiful weather

sian ambassador
The Japanese remained at the ho-
tel. Tomorrow they will go TO Man
chester to visit the factories located
there, which Komura is anxious to
see and inspect.
1t is generally conceded that the
latest terms submitted by Japan can
be accepted by the Russians aus a
basis for further negotiations.
1t is understood that Witte wants
Japan to wipe out Internationally her
demands for an indemnity or REIN
for her cost of the war
Then Russia could point to victory
of diplomacy and feel that she had
not surrendered the principle for
which she has been contending, and
later Japan could bring up the items
of the cost of the war and care of
Russian prisoners under different cir
and stand more chance of
reaching an agreement

The election Of Rolla Wells as
mayor OF St. Louis, even by a greatly
decreased majority, is an event upon
which all good citizens OF that city
and the state are to be congratulated.
The victory can hardly be called a
party victory. While Mr. Wells is
nominally a democrat and Judge Tally
uomiually a republican, these facts
cut little figure in the result. Party
lines were less observed than ever
before in a municipal election in st.
Louis. Nor was it yet a contest be.

Judge Tally bears an honorable name
and record. But it was Wells fist

Louis from the foulest imaginable
civic condition and brought about
those enlightened policies which have
given courage to business and conf
dence to investment 1t seems strange
that his plurality was less than 40, coo.
Mr.. Wells did not want the Office, He
refused again and again to permit his
name to he used in this connection
He is a wealthy nan and has made
great sacrifices OF private business
interests to give his attention to the
annoying and perplexing duties of
the office during the past four years
But the democrats realized that no
other democrat could be elected aid
probably no other certainly desirable
man Of either party. So Mr.. Wells
was drafted in and made the race
The wisdom OF the choice is proven
by the fact that most Of the rest of
the ticket was defeated. Only o
democratic candidate for the council
was elected. The democrats elected
nineteen out Of the twenty eight
candidates for the house Of delegates,
but about half Of them came from the
Butler wards where Wells was
scratched So it is uncertain whether
