SAN FRANCISCO , Jan 7..Kato. the newly
aplnted Japane93 minister to Great lrtaln ,
hns arrived from Japan on the steamer China.
Kato Is one at the most Itstngulshed and able
diplomats In the Japanese service lIe has
lately been head minister of the bureau of
politics In time Department of Foreign AffaIrs
at Tolio-II posltvn filled by Kurlno until
his appoIntment to time office of minister to
the Unite States. lie will succeed Viscount
Kaokt as the Jalanese minister to the court
or St. James. Viscount Jaoll has been fill-
Ing time two offices of mInIster to Great Drlt-
alum and Germany and to relieve him of a
share of his burdensome duteR Kato has been
given the Drish mission Ylecount Kaol
will remain In Derlium.
"When I heft Japan , " said the new minis-
ter , "the Chinese government was maltng
overtures for "eace , but as : you have probably -
ably been informed nothing las been ac-
ompllsimed. The Japanese government ex-
pressed its willingness to receive the Chinese
plenipotentaries and negotiate a treaty or
peace but my last advices arc to the effect
that China would nt agree to the meeting to
be held In Japan. China prefer that Japan's
representatives go over to ChIna , hut Japan
Insist that the plenipotentaries of China
should meet her cwn reproseqt tves on Jap-
anee soil . sInce It Is China that Is suing for
peace and not Japan. Just what time outcome
or time present negotaton will be It Is dim-
cult to surutmise.
"Our armies are stl' roseculing the war.
Overtures were' made . for an , rnmistice . pand-
Ing the settlement or ' tia negotiations fcr .
peace but Japan naturalY , declined to grant
that ravor. I would givE Clna an advantage
to which she Is not entitie' axpl _ there will
be no cessation of hostliloI , unt 1 'thrfnal
settlement of a treaty orpea e. " . '
Mr. Kate said , hat ' na elciaI ! announcement
or Intimation of the terms under which Japan I ,
would agree to a cessaton of the war has I
been made thus far. ' 'Varlols stories ' have
been telegraphed over the world designed to
show ' the amount cf the indemnity asked by
Japan , " he said "hut I Cn miay that not even
the Chinese government knows what Japan
will demand. The secrets 01 the various de ,
patments of the Japanese government are
carefully guarded. I know , this much , how-
ever. China ha asked the Japanese govern-
ment for a statement at what indemnity I
would requIre ns : ocndlton for the cessa-
ton of hostilitIes. Time reply made to China
waD thnt the mater wOlll only bl discussed
when China consented fend plenipotent-
aries to Japan to negotiate a pace treat ' . "
Minister Kate says that In t11e absence of
any agreement between time . two powers for
the termination of the var . Japan will cn-
tnuo to prosecute Its campaign In China this
winter wih unrelentng vigor , though ho does
not expect to see the Chlneso capital taken
while cold weather iaats
"Just before I heft Japan : , " he salmi . "we
received word of the bmptumra of Hal Cimin
which Is In the road t Moulcden The first
Is praising to and It Is

Illenly expected that time imitoric seat of the

This Is In time race of the fact that twemmty-

there was every reason to believe that a

NothIng could be found to Indicate the source
of the human haIrs amid fhrCls of underwear
that were revealed during the previous ex-

whither to direct their subsequent efforts .
and It Is the prevalent belief that In neglect-
lag to leave a guard at the \el last night
Sherif 1amlon allowed what lay be the
only opportunity to uenetrate the umiystery to
ship through his flmmgens.

were a delusion ummany at the most prominent
citizens of 10it county adhere to the opInion
that the body was remove b ) the yI"lante8

facts whih go to substantiate thIs view. Yes-

these circumstances there Is consIderable cm-it-
Icsm of the seeming neglect of Sheriff ham-

han will waive their prelminary examina-

ccurt. This will sidetrack the imifornuation
Informaton
which It was expected would be developed
dlrfng ( these examinatons and further devel-
opments In Holt county's now celebrated
tragedy may be hllelnltely potponed. I Is
expected that two or thrlC additional arrests
will be made during time wcell , but these are
not lIkely to be attended by any Important
developments. District court doe3 IOt convent .
vent until February 7 , and unless some new
clue Is discovered time Interyenlng period wilt
bring no new' dIsclosures . aie resul of the
continued seam-cluing however has been to
dIscover ; a number of facts which tend to disprove -
prove time stories that have been told by the
men already \nder arrest. It has been prac-
tcly establsh el that their accoults of their
movemelts ncr time time whe"n the tragedy
occurred are untrue In some partIculars . amid
It was expected that enough of this' sorL of

examInations to impeach the veracity of the
IJrlsoners.
EVIDENCE MELTING AWAY.
The latest move or the defendant In deciding -
ciding to waive the examination It not relIshed -

of the most material proofs on which the
