The. small pin holes in the old Mason cap were undoubtedly caused by the action of vegetable acids. As a result the fruit in the jar must have been greatly contaminated with poisonous zinc compounds. 1 regard the use of jars with zinc caps as very unsanitary and even dangerous. v ' Yours very truly, - J.

Opinion at Peterhof is not tinged with the pre vailing pessimism of this city. The Daily News correspondent is informed from a reliable source that Mr. Witte will offer to pay a milliard of roubles, $51o,oo3,ooo, as war expenses and grant to Japan a leaEe of Sakhalin. Count Lamsdorffis understood to believe that Baron Komura will ac cept these terms as otherwise a coal ition of the powers would impose upon the Japanesa government a less advantageous peace. Japan will make a stiff fight for the possession of the interned Rus sian warships. Mr. Damson the American legal adviser of the Ja panese mission, spent moit of the day in his office, looking up the precedents on tha subject. Japan is exceedingly anxious to obtain these ships and in her argument will quote several . interuational precedents in support of her de mand. One reason why the Japan ese are so insistent upon this article is because of their intention not to apply the indemnity, in case one shall be received, to the increase of the navy. The indemnity will be used for paying off financial obli gations incurred for the war, the granting of pensions and the dev elopment of the Japanese educa tional system. To leplace losses to the fleet incurred in the war and to maintain the fleet up to a stand ard of strength and efficiency suffi cient to defend hersnlf, Japan needs additional battleships and crosiers. If she obtains all of the Russian ships now interned in neutral harbors and succeeds in raising a number of those sunk in battle, she will have saved the necessity, for the present at least, of a large naval budget for construction. The Lon don government is strongly in'fav or of insistence upon this article and Japan seems to have set her heart upon the surrcnler of the ships by Russia. upon which the eyes of the world are fastened is approaching rarridlv and the end of this week or the first of next, at the latest, should witness the deadlock and the end, if th conference is to go to pieces. Two more of the 12 articles Nos. 4 and 6 were disposed of today. Articl 4 consists of mutual pledges to ob serve the integrity of China and the policy of the "open door" for the commerce of all. rations, and article 6 covers the surrender of the Rus sian leases of the Liao Tung penin sula, Port Arthur, Dalny, and the' B'ond and E liott Islands. To article 4 both parties gave ready aeerrt and the official state ment of the adoption of that article took care to state that it was asreed to unanimously. Article 5, tht consideration of which was passed until later, provide for the cession of the island of Sakhalin. Discus sion appearing just at this stage on account of the firm negative given in the Rmsian replv, it was decided upon the motion of the Ja panese to defer its discussion, thus revBnling the Japanese intention of p -tofning to the end the life and dia'h struggle.
