N. H. Baron Komura will on that occasion com municate to M, Wltto, tho essontlals of Japan's peace terms for further negotiations. This, it is declared will not be done in a spirit of oetlaocc, Indeed there arc many . evidences in tho p issesslon of tho noutral govern ments that Japan Is coming to tho Washington conference not imbued with a aesiro to humiliate Russia, but only to exact terms which will Insuro a lusting peno in the far east, and which will bo in a measure ojm pensato Japan fur tho financial losses In the present conflict. Throughout the preliminary negot iations howo?er. Japan has made it clear at Washington that she wishes to avoid unnecessary tedious negot iations. "Wo aro not going to tho confer ence to writu into tho law of nations a new chapter," said a highJapancso official recently. For this reason the Japanese plenipotentiaries will adopt tho program of at once lajiug on the coufcreuce taolo thoso (eras, the ac ceptance of which without modi II ca tion they are instructed to insist upon as a basis tor further necotla tl'jns. Although guarding with groat caio the ofOcial siatomcut of hot terms, Japan has not kept from several friendly governments tho general chaiacter of theso terms. Official Washington has been enabled tn form within certain limits a conctal idea of their charaoter. It is known that Japan will de mand an indemnity that will ap proximately cover tho cost of the war to date. This was commun icated to Russia early in tho p o liminary negotiations. Tlo amount Is still a secret but it is based upon the most care'ul estimates cf the cost of tbo war nnd will be accom panied by a moro or less detailed statement showing tho method by which tho final figures wero com puted. It will not full far short of ono billion dollars, according to ad vices reachi g hero from welt in formed sources. Besides tbo indem nity, it is believed Japan's other essentials to tno continuance of the negotiations are the ressioo to Japa of Sakhalin and tho traosfor of Russia's lease of .liie Llao Tung pen insula and of the rallwsy aa fur a Haibln, the rcci gnltion of Japan's predominating influence in Korea am tho return of Mane am I to (Jtilua. If tho Russian plenipotentiaries are prepared to accept these es S' nllals, the ofllclils in ro are con tide' t that the basis will b? laid for negotiations snro to load to Uo s'n iog of the tieai" of Washington, bringing peace In "be fr easi. As for tne sub'ecu remaining to be discussed, a tedious cue, Id Is be lieved, and oue on wiilcu Ruia a will bi di-ip sed to neo iaco vlrb thi gr ate t caution Istne prognue for the restoration of Mancnuria to Cnisese'eontrol. Because of the con fusion and perioral disorder Ilk ly to ensue in the province after the withdrawal or the fortin armies, lapin believes tint a certain lime will bd n qulr d in whlcti t) r store public or er andi'ho establishment of a reuulir system of Chinuss police a 'ministration.

It is bdieved the pol.cy to bo suggested hy Japan in this mattor will not be unlike that followed by the W shiigtou government with reference to Cubi, troops being withdrawn from tno Isljnd as soon as a stable govern ment was in control of thn tl4tion.

The stay of execution fol lowed hours of anxiety on the part of Hocb who h;id never glvon up hope and was allowed by the governor only after tho latter had beon assured that tho necessary sum to ropcai the case ban been ralsod. Tho amount J590 was given by an attorn' y and friend of lloch's counsel. The at torney declared ho was actuated purely by nun-unitarian m6tlvcs. An ireident at the Jill during tho preparation for the execution was tho appearance of a phvslclan and a woman who told Jailer Whitman that they wauted to hlp In Hoch's battle for llfo. They said they wished to ralsi fuuds for the condemned man and asked Jailer Whitman to delay tho hanging as Ions as possible. Ilnch's attorney, howevor, had al ready been in communication with the authorities respecting tho stay of sentence. All arrangements had been made for tho execution and In view of tbc action of Governor l)enosn in refus ing a stay of execution and a similar action by tbo state bostd of pardons, lloch's cnanco for lifo was considered slight. About the time set for tho execu tion the attorney who furnished the money apocared in tho caso for the first time. This attorney, It was said telophoned Hoch's lawyer that tne f . inner had SoOO to glvo towaid aiding to appeal tho case. The two lawyers hastened to tho Jail, told Jailer Whitman of tho monpy secured and arranged with tho Jillct to postpone as long as possible the exe cution or Hocb. Meanwhllo they sought State's Attorney Ilealey and had him arrango a cjnforcncc with Governnr Deneen over tho long dis tanco telephone. Hoch's counsel told the g veruor that trcn wufc licking only a small sum of tho amount necessary for a review nf the case. After discussing the matter wi'h the state's attorney, the governor finally consented to a stay for tho condemned man and so noti Ged Hich's counsel. noeh, even several hours before the time set for tho banning, was qulto cont'dent of exreutivo clem ency, ah hough at times he eremed to despair of no Ivlng a reorirve.
