Inquiries made by tho Associated Press here reveal no trace of any effort or intention to intervene in tho Russo-Japanese war. No step looking to a pacific settlement of tho conflict has been taken by the foreign ofilco, nor, so far as known in Down ing street, by Kinng Edward himself. Those who have discussed tho war with the king within tho last few days say that such a step is the last thing ho contemplates. Such a step, however, Informally taken, so it Ic Meld here might ser iously endanger tho negotiations now progressing between Great Britain and Russia with a view to tho settle ment of outstanding difficulties be tween the two countries. King Edward and tho foreign office are fully aware that any offer or even suggestion looking to peace at the present stago would bo resented by both Japan and Russia, and it is de nied that the king, even in tho family circle at Copenhagen has suggested mediation, much less intervention. His majesty has expressed sympathy with his royal relative over the losses sustained by tho Russian fleet, but ho has been equally thoughtful toward tho mikado. Henry Norman, M. P., who was re ceived in special audience by King Edward on his return from Russia, said that any personal or national at tempt to step in between the combat ants seemed to him to be outside the rango of rational surmise and that he would be very much surprised indeed if tho king had done or said anything which would give rise to such a rumor.

A number of tho sup ply bills are still In conference, how ever, and It is expected there will bo more or less discussion of conference reports. The general calendar is very neavy and an effort will be made to IKiss as many of these measures as possible. There are a number of provisions in the military ncademy bill which will be debated at some length. This bill probably will be taken pp tomor row, but it may give way to other business, incliidina: a speech by Mr, CuIIom on tho country's foreign af fairs, and another by Mr. Bacon on the subject of the tariff and trusts. There also will be some speeches dur Ing the week on the desert land bill, and it Is probable that the conference report on the cnnal zone government bill will lead to debate.
