JAPAN MAKES DENIAL
oRIENTALs HAVE NO IDEA OF sU-
 ING FOR PEACE.
Minister Takahira Says That Such Tais of the Last Few Days Has Ema- mated from "Some Other
 Laud.0

Washington, Feb. 25-Japan through her Minister at Washington, MT. No- , gora Takahira. has denied all rumors and reports that she was suing for peace or that any act of the Mikaoo representative here can be possloly SD construed The Minister added that the "peace talk of the last few days. you can surely believe. is not creatso in Japan. but emanates from some oth- CT land." ,,
 Japan, it was declared. has made all arransements to continue the war for at least another year. The Japanese Minister had just returned from trip to Old Point Comfort, when, in re- sponse to inquiries made by an Asso- ciated Press representative, he made these statements. He went at once 10 the State Department and had long talk with the Secretary Of State. He also saw a number of diplomats tooay- Both the State Department and diplo- mats learned that overtures for peace or even indirect proposals for peace" have no+ a6sns end cannot De expected from ToKio.
 'On such matters of great import . ance and delicacy," the Minister stated 10 the Assoclated Press, it Is my opin- ion that as a rule ii is not easy to on- tain accurate information regarding the actual situation ana LEeEeLOTe It lS not unnatural that the public is mis- led more or less through misapprehen- sion and misstatements in the press.
 Moreover it has been clearly under stood from the outset that Japan has not been fighting for the sake of fight ing, but that she was forced to war for the sake of principle and the re- suit has been thus far in favor of Ja- pan She has fortunately been the Vtc- tor at every battle on land and sea. This seems to have led to the general impression that Japan can make over lures for peace without so much in- convenience as otherwise would be the case, and that it must be Japan which is in a position to take the initiative in ending the war. Consequently this impression appears to have created the rumor that Japan gave expression through me to a desire for peace. But there is not one bit of truth in the rumor You can deny it on my author ity absolutely and without reservation. Japan has not given any such express sion through mel repeat 1t. most em- phatically.
 You will readily understand wheth- CT Japan can make such overtures or not if you give a little consideration to the actual circumstances. While 1t Is true that Japan has been honored with success of her arms so far. it is

 Previous to taking up the sundry civil appropriation bill in committee of the whole today the House reserved certain seats in the galleries for resi- dents of Texas during the exercises tc begin at 8 o'clock in acceptance of the statues of Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin, placed in Statuary Hall by Texas.
 A bill was passed amending the stat ute providing a penalty for false state- rnents regarding the character of pub lication sought to be entered as second class mail matter" The amendment strikes out the words ''the character of" and thereby applies the penalty to all false statements in that connection.
 Application by MT.

equally true that it has made no an- parent effect on Russia. Through her representative Russia has said con- stantly that she will fight to the end or until she wins one or more decisive battles. We think 1t is not queer for such large country as Russia, a coun- try with such enormous strength of men and such an extraordinary amount of resources, to think of a final success in the war with us. We have therefore prepared to fight as long as it is neces- sary and 1t was only some weeks ago that the Imperial Diet voted for the war budget to run from April 1905, un- til March, 1906, and all necessary meas ures are being taken in Japan to con- duct the war at least for another year.
 Under these circustances you can safely say that although Japan is ready for peace on such reasonable terms as would insure lasting peace which has been the case from the com mencement of nostilities, she knows she cannot make it with a nation which Is not of the same frame of mind and it is unreasonable to expect us to make any such suggestion in that direction, and even more out of the question for us to formulate the terms of peace, which are in 8 great measure to depend on the progress and result of the war.

An Unpleasant surprise.

A certain wealthy widower adver- tised for wife. Among the various people who replied to his advertise ment were his own three daughters and his niece. He corresponded with all three. Neither of the ladies had con fded in the others what she was doing. Accordingly when the unknown adver- tiser asked them all to meet him at a certain time and place they all ex- pressed their willingness. Their sur prise at meeting each other may be easily imagined. and all eventually went home feeling decidedly crestfal- len. for instead of having the excite meht of an interview of a more or less romantic nature they had encountered their much incensed relative. who rep rimanded them for their conduct in a manner they were not likely to forget But were they any worse than the man who advertised.

Germ DiSeareS.

These are che known germ diseases; all due to germs, or the poisons which germs create. These are the diseases to which medicine does not apply, for drugs cannot kill inside germs.
 All that medicine can do for these troubles is to act as a tonic. aiding Nature to overcome the germs. But those results are indirect and uncer- tain. They depend on the patients condition. When drugs were pre- scribed for these troubles nobody knew of germs Now every good physician knows that they call for a germicide.
 Liquozone alone can destroy the cause of these troubles. No germ can escape it, and we have found no disease germ which can resist it. Dis eases which have resisted medicine for years yield at once to Liquozone. and il cures diseases which medicine never cures. In any stage of any disease in this list the results are so certain that we will gladly send to any patient who asks it an absolute guaranty.
