Takahira Calls Again.
japanese Minister Takahira called
by appointment at the White house
this afternoon and spent half hour
with the president He was still una
hle to give the president tle slightest
indication regarding Japan's peace
terms, but it is believed he was ae-
quainted in a general way with the
hopeful tone of Mr.. Meyers dispatch

was received by the president and
discussed the whole situation for
some time Kaneko tonight said Jap
an had not received directly or indi-
ractly any request from Russia for a
statement of peace terms. 1t was m
timated that Japan would be loathe
to give any such statement until CON
yinced that Russia was prepared to
take up the question of peace with
an intention of ending the war.
Other Diplomats Call.
Later in the af ernoon British Am
bassador Durant saw the president,
and tonight Barren Sternbe-g, the Ger.
man ambassador, was at the Whi e
house for nearly an hour None of
tine callers would d scuss their visits
and 1t can be stated that with the ex-
ception Of the call Of Takahira none
of these visits was of great impor-
tance.
II is not expected the situation will
change radically In the next day or
Two. Until some indication comes
from Japan Of her att tude in the light
of the spirit shown by the czar, nego-
tiations can hardly be expected to
progress. Meantime powerful, though
friendly influences are being brought
10 bear ON Japan to be moderate in
her demands. 1t has been pointed out
that Japan and Russia must always
be close neighbors and If Japan is
unreasonable now In her great tri.
umph, she might aga II be involved in
war with Russia. What effect these
r"nresentations may have on the mi
kado Ia Of course only coniectural.
As to Great Britain.
Strong hopes were entertained here
in the highest circles that London
could be relied on for active assist
ance In counselling moderation to
Japan These hopes have not yet been
realized although Information has
been received that Great Britain will
welcome peace
II is still the hope, however, that
some assistance from that quarter may
yet be forthcoming.
France and Germany for Peace.
Berlin and Paris are both giving
local ass'stance to the efforts initiated
In Washington. and the result OF Ber
Inns activity Is already being felt
