NOVOE VREMYA TALKS
Admits the Possibility of Negotiations
Looking Toward Peace

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 30-Of-
ficially the authorities continue to deny
stoutly that Russia has made any pro-
posals to Japan. This is literally true,
as Russia has only made known the
negative conditions, leaving the inter-
mediary to convey the condition of
Japan on its own responsibility.
Diplomats in st. Petersburg are con-
vinced that something Is in progress,
but none of those in a position to know
will acknowledge that they are aware
of what actually has been or is being
DONE
The Novoe Vremya yesterday, for the
first time, admitted the possibility of
negotiations for peace, commenting on
the efforts of the British and French
press to prove that peace is advisable
both for Russia and Japan. The Novoe
Vremya declared that the payment OF
indemnity by Russia is utterly out of
the question, as it would be contribu-
tion tending to build up the strength
of Japan, and that Japan is not in a
position to claim indemnity.
The paper asks whether diplomats
''who did nothing to prevent war" now
will turn their attention to bringing ii
to a close on terms advantageous to
both combatants.

he was making away with a horse

McKim is an exceptional criminal.
He has no bad habits and is of a gen.

he forged a check, Los Angeles, where
two charges of grand larceny are filed

The injuries to the emperor are not

Blood poisoning from powder burns IS
the thing that is giving the royal sur
geons the most anxiety.
Causes ON Great Surprise
In official circles no great surprise is
expressed at the attempt of Nicholas II
to end his own life. 1t has been known
that ever since the assassination of
Grand Duke Sergius the emperor has
been in a state of deep melancholia.
ell has at times refused to confer with
members of his cabinet and to have
kept papers of great Importance to the
state waiting for weeks for his sig
nature.
No official news is given out from the
palace in st. Petersburg and the CEN
sorship of the wires to Tsarkoe-Selo is
so rigid that no information is to be
had from that quarter.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-It is
stated here that Japan has received an
urgent warning from neutral power
to beware of all offers of mediation
from any government and to insist upon
direct negotiations with st. Peters,
burg.

advantage of both belligerents that the
far east war come to speedy end,
and anything that this government
can do to bring that about will be done
gladly. From the outset of the war
the president has taken the position, as
has been repeatedly announced by Sec
retary Hay, that he will do anything
In his power to assist Russia and
Japan to a peace basis when his SER
vices shall be acceptable to the bellig-
erents.
1t is the feeling here that Russia
and Japan should negotiate directly
and avoid international conferences.
This opinion also prevails in Berlin.
Indeed, Japan, has recently received
an urgent warning against indirect ne
sotiations lest they lead to an inter-
national conference.
Must Communicate With Toxic
Advices from Europe tell of the fear
prevalent that the activities of Lams-
1orff and Del Casse are directed tow
ard an International conference. 1t is
said that this move has been in a
blocked by the refusal of
Japan to give any Indication as to the
peace terms she would accept until
positively assured in the name of the
ear himself that Russia is prepared to
negotiate in good faith for peace.
Not only does Japan insist upon this
assurance, but she prefers to negotiate
directly with st. Petersburg. With the
United States, Germany and Japan op-
posed to an international conference to
end the war. the belief is strong in
that successful peace ne
sotiations will date from the day st.
communicates with Toxic

PORTO RICANS IN HAWAII.
with Favor Among the
Natives.

In an evil hour the sugar planters Of
Hawaii imported a number of Porto
Ricans to labor in their cane fields The
venture was an experiment, says the
Chicago Record-Herald, and was tried
because of the troublesome conditions
of the local labor market. The planters
prefer Chinese to all other help, but the
Chinese are barred by our exclusion act.
Furthermore, the large immigration of
Japanese under contract has stopped
and the native Hawaiians are indolent
and unreliable. Hence the eXpedient of
introducing Porto Ricans as substitutes
who might solve the labor problem.
A very short trial was sufficient, how
ever, to convince the Hawaiian whites
that mistake had been made Accord
ing to their testimony the Porto Ricans
are most undesirable lot, and latterly
public hatred has been aroused against
them on account of the murder of a
young man named Damon by one of
their number. Damon belonged to one
of the prominent old white families of
the Islands and was SO widely known
that the crime cast a gloom over the
whole community. This was the more
natural because it was unprovoked.
Damon had merely cautioned the Porto
Rican against removing danger lamp
from the road when he was set upon and
killed.
1t is said now that the Porto Ricans
are generally Stunned and that no one
will give them work This lack of en-
ployment is driving even industrious
men to crime and women to shame
Manifestly the planters who were re-
sponsible for bringing these people to
Hawaii should feel the responsibility
for their presence and endeavor by some
means to secure their return to Porto
Rico.

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges COM
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With SO many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. 3. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir: "The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from Iaryngi-
tbs and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment WIGS most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she is entirely cured. "

The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-
suits as the above letter testifies.
