Japan Discusses Pence Conditions. ‘
Wasmnorort, Dec 24.—Rocent newspa-
per mail advices received here from Japan
lhow that the truncation of the firms of
peace that Japan will demand fro China
is a fruitful subject of discussion by the
native press. Opinions, howrxver, differ
regarding these temis. and while wine
iournals content themselves with speaking
generally on the subject others are more
peclflc in their demands.
One paper asserts that Formosa. so im-
portant fronts commercial and military
point of view. most at all events be taken.
After detailing what an immense expendi-
ture 4mm be incurred by Japan in sup-
porting Korea and protecting Japanese
interests in the north of China following
the war, the paper declares that Formosa
will have to be annexed as a resource from
which to draw receipts at least signal to
these prospective expenditures.
Another ptapcr enters a strong protest
against the claims advanced that China
must surrender entirely out of proportion
to the objects for which the war was un-
lertaken. Assuming that the war is prur-
ticully over. the Japanese are already dis-
mssing the matter of Japan's prospects
thereafter.
his .Kaneko. the vice minister of state
for agriculture and conuncree, has been
looking into the history of the United

CHILDREN IN FLAMES.
'l‘liroe Were Found In a Burning Flat, and
one Pcrlshed.
Herman's. Dec. alt—A lire occurred in
the flat at 209 Ninth First street. occupied
by Charles Cornwall. Both Mr. Cornwall
and his wife were away from their home
at the time. three children being left he-
hind. In some unaccountable way the fire
started. the first intimation of it belnri
when Mrs. Jane Ilnnmn. an elderly wom-
an living across the hall. heard the chil-
dren summing. She opened the door of
the Cornwall flat, and smoke rolled out,
almost mothering her.
She saw a attacking bundle on the floor.
and it proved to be one of the little ones.
Picking it up. she ran screaming to the
street. Mrs Cornwall was returning from
the grocery store when she saw her neigh-
bor with the burning bundle. Immediate-
ly behind Mrs. Hanson was Maud. an old-
er child. her clothing in flames. Mrs.
Cornmill grabbed the baby from the old
woman and ran down the street. Seine
one on the stmt throw a coat around the
child and extinguished the ilalncs.
A block away the crazed mother was
stopped with the infant. its clothes still
mucking. and both were found to be quite
badly burned. No one know that another
child was missing. but after the tire was
extinguished the charred remains were
found.
