Consequently dispatches ap pearing in America saying that For eign Minister Delcasse and Dr. Mo tono, the Japanese minister to France, have been conferring at the former 3 house relative to peace ate inaccurate. The foregoing view of the situation is taken by the parlies immediately con cerned and it ii- asserted with the authority ot the foreign office and the Japanese legation The Associate. Press correspondent has talked lengthily with IJV. -Motono during tli i.-ist i'tw days :uul the sit uation heretofore- set forth in these dispatches reflected the views of Dr. Motono and others diectly concerned, although with the usual reservation of not using their names. However, in view of the continued reports that there were indications that Minister Delcasse and Dr. Motono were taking an active part in the negotiations the correspondent of the Associated Press called at the Japanese legation and requested Dr. Motono to furnish a de cisive statement which would out at. rest all misunderstanding: Japanese Minister's Statement Accordingly Dr. Motono gave the Associated Press the following cate gorical statement, which was taken in writing and may be accepted as authoritatively clearing the, situation 'T tell you explicitly that there are no peace negotiations or preliminaries for initiating peace negotiations in progress at this time so far as I am aware and I believe my information to be complete. I am not desirous of discussing the general question of peace for, owing to the complete ab sence of negotiations or preliminaries towards negotiations, that question can only be academic and without practical bearing. "The statements that I have con ferred with M. Delcasse at his resi dence are false and are calculated to confuse a situation which is perfectly plain. There is no representative of Japan authorized at this time to dis cuss peace or foreshadow in the least what conditions the Japanese govern ment might not consider if the nego tiations assumed a practical stage. On the contrary Japan is how engaged in conducting a military campaign and she will resolutely proceed with that important work."

S SILENT 1 ^ON PEACE QUESTION. St. Petersburg Newspapers Apparently ^.AXz^s &i* Warned.^ i-g.- St. Petersburg, April 1.The day's newspapers are so significantly silent obout the peace reports from abroad that- it leads to the inference that they have been -warned by the gov ernment the inadvisability of air ing their views at this time. Those papers which have' been favoring peace say nothing, while the small section of the press which has been insisting on a continuation of the war contents itself with the reproduction oi articles from foreign newspapers showing that peace now means the abandonment forever of Russia's posi tion on the Pacific. &$&, .TERRORIST- ACTIVITY/*?^' Russian Police Fear Another Tragedy ^^"i'',5*-"-'**" Any Moment. 5^f &* St. Petersburg, April I.The au thorities continue to find evidence of terrorist activity in St. Petersburg and in spite of the precautions of the police another tragedy may occur at any moment. The fighting organiza tion is known to have on its con demned list thirty persons, headed by Grand Duke Alexis and Governor Gen eral Trepofi, but the police, although they arrested,. several persons with bombs in their possession and have taken many ^suspects into custody, have been completely baffled in their efforts to discover the invisible hand which is directing the campaign of the Jterr.orJsts. The^oljco theory, con tinues to be that the central organi zations of those engaged in the con spiracies are at Geneva and in Paris are agents selected to execute the. sentences. When arrested these agents invariably are true to their oaths'and refuse to divulge anything, no matter to what ordeal they are subjected. The police have instructed all lodg inghouses to provide themselves with duplicate keys of all rooms, drawers asad closets in order that the effects of suspects may be freely searched. PRAISES JAP SOLDIERS. Ruesia Coverno 0 St. Petersburg. April 1.It is diffi cult to shed light on the peace pour parlers. From all-information obtain able it is regarded as certain that actual negotiations between the bel ligerents ar-e not yet under way, bat the task of bringing them together is proceeding informally through the United States and France in the per sons of President Roosevelt and M. Delcasse, the French foreign minis ter, who have been apprised of Rus sia's irreducable minimum, which, ill 1 be Mi. Gardner's wife. The dedsion addition to no cession of territory or indemnity, is believed to include a Port Arthur Ar rives at Portland, Ore. Portland, Ore., April 1.M. Ver shinin, former civil governor of Port Arthur, who is en route to Russia, speaks in the highest terms of the Japanese soldiers. He does not, how ever, attribute their indomitable per severance in battle so much to bravery as to a lack of feeling. Ke cites as an illustration that in battle the Japa nese repeatedly charged over thou sands of bodies of their dead com rades and witnessed the death of rel atives and friends without apparently losing nerve in the slightest degree. This, M. Vershinin says, is an impos sibility for any European race. M. Vershinin recounted the experi ences of the Russian garrison at Port Arthur during the siege, where for four months an increasing bombard ment both night and day wore those in Port Arthur almost to distraction. He remarked the horrible precision of the Japanese artillery, saying that the Japanese seemed familiar with every part of the fortress and placed shells wherever they seemed to desire with the most terrible effect. SEES NO HOPE OF PEACE: French Minister at Washington Ex presses His Opinion..^^5'", Washington, April 1.M.^usse- rand. the French ambassador, is of the opinion that peace is not in imme diate prospect between Russia and Japan. He so expressed himself after a visit to President Roosevelt to-bid him goodbye before the president goes on his Southwestern trip and said that both combatants at this time ap peared to be bent on continuing hos tilities for a satisfactory adjustment of their-'difficulties. He added-that he did not talk with the president on the subject of mediation and he did not believe that the Washington gov ernment- had yet concerned itself offi cially in any movement looking to a cessation of the war. It was learned, however, that the prospects of peace were discussed at length. .^?.|JKTS OBLIGATION^ ONLY?,. MORALf*^ Carrie Swain Loses Case Against Frank Gardner.

The defendant's obligation, therefore, was only moral. The decision also rejects the de fendant's counter claim for damages on the ground that he had not estab lished the plaintiff's bad faith. -u "&S&Z5 Lord Kelvin's Condition SeriousV^ London, -April 1.The condition of Lord Kelvin, the distinguished scientist, who is in a critical condition as the result of an operation for* in ternal trouble, is reported as being less satisfactory. ~s REFUSE TO DISCUSS CASE.

Morgan Smith and his wife, the brother-in law and sister of Nan Patterson, the actress held.in New York on a charge of murdering Caesar Young, passed a quiet night at the Central police sta tion, but neither would discuss the matter of their detention. District At torney Jerome of New York requested the local authorities to see to it that every interest of the people of New York is safeguarded. A telegram from one of Miss Pat terson's attorneys said: '"Keep your mouth shut. Your in terests will be protected."-- No definite charge has yet been placed against the couple, but as soon as the documents arrive from New York showing that they arc under in dictment there a charge of being fugi tives from justice will be entered against thern.
