JAPAN IS GETTING WEARY. Will Not Slum) .Mui'li Im r nf China's lilt .itniy l'liis An Agrcsulu. .Movement. Washington, Jan. 2. It Is the belief of oilli I. lis In a position to know the status ol alT.tlis between Japan and China that Japan will ilecl.no the peace negotiations off unless China hastens them.

Alie.idy the Japanese govern ment Is Inclining to a nn.uiimou.-. demand of 1h nallvi! press to make far greater de- mands than wrio contemplated when the peaco negotiations began, At that tunc the general uinl.-iKianilhii, was that the b.tsU of pence would be a cash ludcmuUs and tho Independence of Coiea. and the woik of thn pleulpotentl.il les was to settle the exnet amount and terms of the cash In demults.
