Thinks Action By the United States Would Operate Benellcially to All Concerned. Associated Press. Washington, Nov. 21. Secretary Graham, through the Japanese minis ter here, haa been notified that Japan will receive offers of peace only direct from China, The replies were decided upon at a special meeting of th Japanese caoinet; on Saturday. The tone of the replies and tha expressions of imperial good will, give much satlsfacUon to the offlciali here, and now . that the facta aije known, no further reserve la main tained as to the terms of the negotia tions which have hitherto Dcen wun - held. It appears that at the outset Secretary "Gresham consulted Minister K-.,rinn ihere was no desire to take action which would be otherwise than u. i, a o mnf,no. between the secretary and the minis. tAr t which Secretary Carlisle was'; present, it was made clear that Presl- S.

A new and Important sit uation Is now presented by the' Japan ese proposition that China make a di rect offer through Minister Dun at To kio. This makes Mr. Dun an Interest- lng center of negotiation from th;' tlme,r7a,l;1' UtnIeSnthYnU,ed STZ should decline to allow him to act as; a direct representative of China In submitting the offer. The action of tho European powers upon the new phase of the question la now awaited with much Interest. Japan's suggestion that Minister Dun will be an acceptable medium of cum munlcatlon from China In effect elim inates Great Britain, France and other powers from being a factor in the ne gotiations. It can be stated positively that Great Britain has favored the re cent offer of mediation by the United States on the ground that It is pre sumed that it would save China from utter destruction, , and thus preserve British trade with China. NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. New Tork'a Police Department Black mailed All Classes. Washington, Nov. 21. John W. Goff, prosecuting attorney for the Lexow commltte3, who Is stopping in Washing ton for a few days, has given the Evening Star an Interesting interview on the work of the committee. "We know positively," said he, "that the police department of New York waa systematically blackmailing all classes of citizens. I speak within the bounds of knowledge when I say there was not a business man In New York who has not felt the power of police blackmailing. There wer, perhaps, a very few instances where bonoraWe men had refused to give their tithe of illegal tax to the police, but almost without exception they were forced out of business. One peculiar feature of the blackmail was that It spared no one class, however obscure its calling. 'Tammany was worse 'as regards the individual committee of citizens than St. Petersburg under Its most violent police regime. We gradually resolved the astounding fact that the police of New York not only dominated every ..... ..I. tif lortr. ftmnmllnttv in the country.
