NO TIME FOR PEACE
Russians Grow Hot at Talk of
- Mediation.
MUST HEAL WOUNDED PRIDE
Japan Will Not Make Firt Move,
nd Rusla"ns LeoJc to Army and
Fleet to Vindicate Their
National Honor.
TOB3Q, - Jan. 4. (Evening:.) The
weight of opinion in Japanese official
circles seems to be against a belief
in the early conclusion ot peace, and
doubt Js expressed - that be iall of
Ifort Arthur will materially affect the
situation.
One of several officials who dis
cussed the question with the corre
spondent of the Associated Press to
day, voiced the sentiment of the ma
jority when he said:
"We are confronting a situation
which continues to be purely military.
The present problem Is created by
General Kuropatkln's army and the
Russian Second Pacific squadron. "We
are devoting; all attention to them.
"We anticipate that the Russians
will renew more determinedly than
ever their efforts to drive Field Mar
shal Oyama back, and that they will
strive to gain supremacy at sea. "We
are preparing: to defeat both these
objects.
"The situation makes talk of peace
futile."
SIGNAL FOR NEW EFFORTS.
Germans Think Fall of Port Arthur
Will Not Advance Peace.
BERLIN, Jan. 4. The highest diplomatic
opinion here is that the surrender 01
Port Arthur makes it impossible for any
government friendly to Russia to advise
tvace nr to unite with any other govern
raent in offers of international mediation.
The -feellnc at the Russian court Is so
absolutely for continuing the war that
probably not one person who nas access
to. the Emperor of Russia could be found
who would even privately favor Russia
accepting defeat.
German military opinion, while ac
knowledging the large moral effect of the
fall of Port Arthur in inspiring me jap.
anese and depressing the Russians, re
gards it as only an incident and as hav
ing little relation to the immense Held
operations that will begin in me spring.
General Kuropatkln, it is asserted in of
ficial circles here, has 600,000 troops east
of Baikal, of which more than 400,000 are
already gathered at Mukden. It is im
flTBsaWe. the German military men aver.
for tm Russians to cease fighting with
that rmv In being, which. In the Spring,
they ajid. la-'likely to number all told
700.003 men.
The Japanese, being fulls informed of
Russia's preparations, .are putting forth
even' resource to surpass them. Field
oneratlons of a magnitude not before seen
In tho war, It Is believed, will begin in a
few weeks.
NOT TO TALR OF PEACE.
Takahlra and Hay 'Meet Ho Talk of
Port Arthur's. Fall.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. Mr. .-Takahlra.
the Japanese Minister, had a .long talk
with Secretary Hay today, and as this
wps the Minister's first visit since the
news of the fall of fort Artnur, nis ar
rival at the State Department gave rise
to the rnmor that he had come to ask
Secretary Hay's asslstanco in making
overtures to Russia for peace. Inquiry
later in the day failed to substantiate
this rumor in any particular.
The Secretary and the Minister did talk
about the outlook for peace from the
standpoint not ot Intervention, but of the
effect of the fall of Port Arthur upon
the military 'situation ia the Far East
Should tho Japanese ask to transmit
proposition to Russia regarding peace.
this Government, as a friendly neutral,
It Is said, would deliver the communlca
tlon. but no such request has been re
ceived, nor is it anticipated at this time.
NO TIME VOR MEDIATION.
French Officials Say Russia Must
Heal Wound to Pride First.
PARIS, Jan. 4. Tho official vjew here
continues to regard mediation between
Russia and Japan as impracticable. The
Temps, semi-official, In a leading article.
says:
"Russia will not consider mediation at
a. moment when hor self-esteem Is suf
fering from the deepest wound and be
fore playing her strongest card, namely.
the concentration of an overwhelming
force under General Kuropatkln."
The same opinion is lield at the For
eign Office and at the Russian Embassy.
NEW RUSSIAN WAR LOAN.
Berlin Bankers, Doubtful of Victory,
Exact Hard Terms.
BERLIN, Jan. 4. The prospectus of the
new Russian loan of JSl.'w.OOO -win be
issued tomorrow or Friday. Subscription
lists will be opened in Germany. Russia
and Holland January 12. The price of the
Issue in Germany will be SC.
The bankers' syndicate has paid into
the Russian treasury 90Vi. These terms
arc considered here very unfavorable for
Russia, Inasmuch as the holders can de
mand redemption at par after six years,
which is equivalent to a rate of 64 per
cent interest.
duty to afford the nation sin oppor- J
tunity .for declaring Its - attitude, Wef
ao so wn.iuu commence in me devo
tion of the nation In Its constitutional
Institutions and Its innate political"
wisdom-
The harmony between the King and
the nation and their mutual confidence
have established conditions of undis
turbed constitutional life, and undis
turbed successful working of the free
Institutions of the nation has In-the
past rendered a beneficent period ot
peaceful development possible. If now
the working cf these institutions en
counters obstacles on international
grounds It Is incumbent on the nation
to manifest Its will. For these reasons
we have on the proposal of our gov
ernment decided on the dissolution of
the Diet before the expiration of the
Parliamentary term."
The speech from the throne, which was
personally read by Emperor Francis Jo
seph, proved altogether .a mild document,
not containing criticism of parliamentary
obstruction as expected by the tipposltibn
leaders. The ceremonies, though brief,
were very Imposing. The reading of the
speech occupied a few minutes, after
which Emperor Francis Joseph, the min
isters and the deputies attended a short
service in the chapel.
soth parties have already issued mani
festos and will begin an active campaign
at once. The elections have been fixed to
begin January 28. The law requires that
all the elections must be held within ten
days thereafter. The result of the whple
fight probably will be known before the
end of the month. The country is divided
into 413 electoral districts, each returning
one aeputy. Tne government now holds
222 .scats.
The opposition Is badly handlcaooed bv
the lack of funds to put candidates Into
the field. The government, on the con
trary. Is well supplied with money, be
sides enjoying the support of corporations
and the financial interests.
Two significant concessions to Hun car-
Ian sentiment were noticed In connection
wiw tne ceremony at the Hofburg this
morning. After the service in the chapel
the organ played Hungarian hymns in
stead of "Gott, erhalte," which has al
ways been heard on such occasions. The
imperial standard for tho first time at
such a ceremony did not float from th
top of the Hofburg. Jfo star at all was
displayed mere.
