PEACE PROSPECTS VAGUE; All Eyes Are on Washington for Ne- . flotations, to End War Japa nese Sending Over Fresh Troops Seat of War. B Wire to The Morning Star. St. Petersburg, March 30. 6:05 p. jf. There was no further peace news today: - All eyes are centered oji Washington and Paris where develop ments are anticipated. The Washing ton dispatches are scanned with es pecial, eagerness. The reports, of President Roosevelt's conferences with Minister Takahira and Ambassa dors Jusserand and Von Speck-Stern-burg, in spite of official denials, are believed in diplomatic circles here to relate to the opening of negotia tions. The foreign office continues to maintain that Russia has taken no official step which certainly is literal ly true. There is an important admis sion, however, that" Ambassador Jus serand upon his own responsibility may have given President Roosevelt the French idea of Russia's position. The French embassy also insists that it has no knowledge of what move, if any, has been made. The attitude of all the parties concerned, however, is only regarded as natural at such a delicate state wnen tne negoi: tions have not actually begun. Indemnity and Territory for Japsi London. March 30. 8:35 P. MJ Peace talk Is prevalent everywhere but i that negotiations have coni meflced is still positively denied in all official circles here. The foreign of fice' disclaims .even having any knowl edge of peace proposals. It is quite evident however, that while the first definite step may be taken at any moment an advance further than indi cated in the Associated Press dis patches may be postponed indefinite ly. - Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis ter, ; declared to the Associated Press this evening that he had no informa tion in regard to the announcement contained in the St Petersburg dis patches of the 'Associated -Press that Russia had indirectly made known' to Japan the negative' conditions on which peace might be concluded, but he said unreservedly that the terms mentioned could not even be consid ered, and added: "A cession of terri tory and an indemnity are the only points negotiable as Japan s ante bel lum demands have already been se cured by Japan. M. Takahashi, the ' Japanese special financial commissioner, in an inter view today, said to the Associated Press: i "The war cost between $250,- 000,000 and $300,000,000 the first year and it is estimated that it will cost $350,000,000' during - the present year. It would be unprecedented In the his tory of great wars that no idemnity and no territory be given up by the vanquished..' While it is beyond my province to discuss the terms of peace I can express my personal opinion that as the- war was forced upon Ja pan it is not likely that she will waive the right to aur Idemnity and cession of territory when concluding peace. What I Idemnity will be demanded cannot say but it is my private opin ion that it will at least cover the ex pense of the war." M. Takahashi spoke Interestingly regarding the internal conditions in China since - the Chinese-Japanese war. - He said China was awakening. The government was now making rapid strides along the lines on which Japan bad developed. China was sending pupils abroad to stjidy and bringing in ioreign instructors. Many of these were Japanese4 and a . rap proachment betwen the two- countries was steadily being effected. The Chi nese government M. Takahashi add ed, proposes reorganizing the army of China and re-creating its navy. The Japanese believe that within ' ten years China will be able to defy Rus sia. .....!-. '- j . .. . 1 .

The various ru mors of peace negotiations emanat ing from Europe and the United States are widely published and wide ly commented on here - Apparently they do not affect the attitude of the Japanese government and people to wards the war.

SHADOWED BY A DETECTIVE Smith is Supposed to Be the Man Who Bought the Pistol With Which Caesar Young Was Murdered. . By Wire to The Morning Star. Cincinnati, "March 30. Accused of conspiracy to commit murder J. Mor gan Smith and wife were arrested in this city today on telegraphic request from District. Attorney N Jerome, of New York city. Nan Patterson, the actress who has been twice put on trial for the murder of Caesar Young in New York, May 4, 1904, is charged In the same connection, new indict ments to this effect having been found in New York today. - For a long time the authorities had .been unable to locate Smith and his wife, the couple having left New York a few months after the murder and before the be ginning of the recent mistrial of Nan Patterson in which Smith's-testimony. was considered almost vital to the prosecution.. Several weeks ago a New York detective met Smith in Montre al, Canada, and from that time until the arrests here todaythis officer has awaited a favorable time for making the arrest He followed the couple, part of the- time as traveling com panion, over half the continent, making friends with Smith who knew him to be a detective but believed that the officer was after some other person. Detroit Cleveland and a number of Canadian cities were visitedT Finally Smith went to Nashville and Louis ville in . the hope of securing a posi tion with some of the book-makers in those cities, leaving hfs wife in Cleve land. He was unsuccessful, and came to Cincinnati where his wife met him on Wednesday. Mrs. Smith said she had relatives in Covington, Ky., and she went with her husband to that city yesterday to call .on these people; Who however, refused to see the visi tors and afterwards declared that there was no relationship . between them. Returning to this city, Mr. and i Mrs. Smith registered at the Grand Hotel as H .H. Banning and wife. The detective had kept in telegra phic communication with New York and had deferred an arrest until it was possible to take both husband and wife, their separation soon after reaching the United States on return ing from Canada .having caused the delay. Last night the detective wired to District Attorney Jerome: "Smith and Julia are at the Grand. Hotel: Wire Instructions' In reply the district attorney today telegraphed: "Arrest Smith and wife as fugitives from justice." The district attorney also sent the following: ; j . - "New York, March 30. 1905 "Pula Mllllken, Chief of Police. CIn cinnatl: . i "Arrest and hold for requisition J.

TRAVERS JEROME, :- District Attorney. The arrest was quietly made and Smith and wife were taken to police neadquarters. where they made no at tempt to deny or conceal their Identi ty, although both denied any guilt in connection with the case. They show ed signs of : nervousness and worry, but both husband and wife expressed an intention to return to New York without requisition. . The couple stated that they had expected to go to New York, although they had not anticipated doing so - under arrest . Before being locked up. Smith was searched. In his pockets were found an old watch, some pocket pieces and $2.85 in cash. In his breast pocket were ruond two envelopes sealed. When Lieutenant Pope took the en velopes Smith made frantic efforts to get them back but the two envelopes were retained by the police. ;V The New Indictments. New York, March 30.

Baltimore, March 30. Deep and ac tive interest in the campaign for a re duction of the acreage in cotton this year,' as shown by, the authorities of Southern States, led the Manufactu rers Record this week to wire to Gov ernors of the - Cotton States asking for their opinion as to the extent of the reduction to be made. : r Governor James K.Vardaman, of Mississippi: ""Your request for a re port on the question of the reduction of cotton acreage in Missippi has been received. I am now making a pretty thorough canvass of the State, but lam not as well prepared to an swer your question- as. I shall be a tiltle later. However, I am sure that I am within the limits of conserva tism when I say that in .Mississippi the cotton acreage will be reduced not less than 20 per cent. I believe it will go to 25- per cent The farmers are greatly interested in this matter, and the work of campaigning has hardly begun.". Governor N. B. Broward, of Florida: "I know of no reduction contemplated by our farmers." -Governor J. M. Terrell, of Georgia: "Aft least; 75 per cent of the cotton growers will reduce" their crop from 15 to 30 per- cent.': Twenty-five per cent of the growers will make only a nominal reduction. - A reduction of 20 per cent is a conservative esti mate.'1 4 .-- ' Governor S. W. T. Lanham, of Tex as r-'.It is impossible to answer with any certainty. Excessive rains have affected the sowing of spring oats. Corn planting has been delayed for the same reason, and it is not likely that the' usual acreage will be used for corn.. In consequence it Is not probable that .the cotton acreage will be materially reduced." " Governor D ,C Heyward; of South Carolina: "Answering your telegram of Inquiry, I do not feel warranted at this time in ! making a forecast as to the reduction of the cotton acreage in South Carolina mis year. I should think that the officers of the South Carolina Growers Association who have traveled over the State would be in a better position to furnish the de sired forecast These officers report that farmers are making the reduction as pledged by them. I do not hesitate to express my belief that. South Caro lina's acreage in cotton will be re duced. I also believe that this move ment has done, much to encourage our farmers in undertaking i - diversified agriculture., r FAST BEACH SCHEDULE Fifteen Minutes Lopped Off The Time After To-day, The double-tracking, of the subur- ban line of the Consolidated Railways, Light & Power Company has now about : been completed and the fast schedule of a car every half hour will be put on afternoons from 1 P.
