Washington, March 13.-Japan will welcome peace on reasonable terms and will promptly name conditions pro- vided it receives trustworthy assur- ances that they will be seriously con sldered. This the emperor of Russia has learned from friendly European chancellories and also the general terms acceptable to Japan. The terms in clude the retention of Port Arthur by the Japanese, a Japanese prOtectorate over Korea and an indemnity.
 The belief prevails in diplomatic cir cles here that the two nations are on the verge of peace, but Cassini. the Russian ambassador said that victory for Russia will alone make peace, if not at Tie pass then at Harbin. Ia kahira emphatically said that Japan had not directly proposed peace but he did not deny that neutral powers had from time to time sounded Japan as to terms. He said Russia could have made better terms after the fall of Port Arthur.

mense quantities having been burned at Mukden. Russian correspondents telegraph that they have had nothing to eat for two days. The troops prob ably fared better.
 While Kuropatkin has apparently succeeded in saving more artillery than seemed possible his losses in men, ammunition and commisary sup plies in the battle of Mukden were far greater than the earlier reports indi- cated end even a portion of his army which he succeeded in eXtrlcating from positions around Mukden is still in ser ious danger. A small portion of Kuro- patkin's army reached Tie Pass. the greater part of those who escaped Mukden still struggling onward at last accounts from twelve to sixteen miles from the goal with the Japanese flush ed with the victory reinforced by fresh men, harassing them on all sides. Even should the remnant of the army reach Tie Pass it is hardly likely to be able to make a stand, against the over whelming forces opposing. It is likely that Kuropatllin will fall back on liar bin.

PARIS. KENTUCKY, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 80 1905
Commercial Organizations.

Since the. recent State Develop
ment Convention in Louisville, the
Louisville Commercial Club is more
strongly imbued than ever with the
possibilities awaiting Kentucky. 1t
believes that every community in the
State can profit by this awakened in
terest, but it is as firmly convinced
that the profit can be greatly en-
hanced through an organization of the
working forces of the different towns.
By working forces is meant the mer-
camille and industrial lines of the
different sections. In brief, the
Commercial Club feels that most
desirable way to meet and overcome
difficulties confronting a business
community lies in the organization
of commercial body. 1t believes
this so strongly that it has appointed
standing committee, whose sole
duty it is to assist in the organization
of business clubs throughout the
State and in reviving bodies which
have temporarily lapsed into activity.
Mr.. r. A. Mcdowell, former Presi-
dent of the club, has accepted the
craftsmanship of this committee, and
has appointed as his associates thereon
fifteen leading spirits Cf Louisville's
commercial world and ten prominent
editors in different parts of Ken
lucky.
The Louisville Commercial Club has
no ak to grind in the step it is taking
to organize more commercial bodies
in the State. It's board of directors
feel such an interest in State devel-
Opment, as was shown in the recent
convention in Louisville, that it is
willing to expend large part of it's
funds in sending representatives to
different cities to work UP organiza-
tions of the kind mentioned.
Any community that desires to
take the step indicated will receive
from the Louisville Commercial Club
a copy of its bylaws and constitu-
ton, with suggestions as how to stir
up interest in the organization. When
the iron is hot enough to be struck,
the Commercial Club will send rep
resentative to help mold the body
into definite form.

Bryan Tries to Buy Sacred Japanese
Stool.

japanese newspapers received by
the steamer Shawmut criticise w. J.
Bryan, now visiting Japan, because
of his attempt to purchase the war
stool upon which Admiral Togo sat
when the Shinto ceremonial in Nyeno
Park at Toxic to celebrats the naval
triumph took place. The stool, which
was used for a similar purpose for
centuries, since 1907 has been handed
down in the Ogasawara family of
Shinto priests, which fam ly alone
has authority to conduct such cere-
monials.
AS told by vernacular japanese
newspapers, William j. Bryan went
from Yokohama to attend the. cere-
mony, and asked to be permitted to
sit upon seat of such good omen.
No objection was made, but, so the
story runs, Mr.. Bryan then tried to
purchase the heirloom. AS it had
sancity in japanese eyes there was
only indignation. The owners replied
Indignantly that the war stool was
not for sale. The Jill Shimpo says
the chair was finally handed over to
Mr.. Bryan, at his earnest request,
after a family consultation of the
Ggasawaras.
Learning after leaving Toxic of the
special character of the chair, Mr..
Bryan returned it to the Mayor of
Toxic, with a letter explaining that
he had no idea Of the STOOLS excep-
and under the circumstances should
not think of retaining it. One Toxic
paper says Mr.. Bryan secured a COM
mon chair upon which Admiral Togo
sat from a restaurateur of Nyeno
