SUBMITTED BY JAPAN
('onsitleivd Too Rigorous by
Russia—War Party Urge
Their Poliej.
London, April 3.—The Times
correspondent cables that the Japa
nese government lias submitted its
terms of peace. These are:
1. Russia must tecognize the
right of Japan in Korea.
2. Manchuria must be restored to
the Chinese.
3. Russia shall not maintain ail)'
naval base in the far east.
4. Japan will retain a garrison at
l’ort Arthur by virtue of conquest.
St. Petersburg, April 3.—The
ministers cf the czar are not in
clined to discuss the peace terms
from Japan. One minister is quoted
as saying, however, that Russia
can never accept the terms offered
without sacrificing every shred ol
respect as a nation. It is believed
the rigorous terms will give the
war party a powerful argument
with which to back its contention
for continuing the war.

Colorado Statesman
Died at Monte Carlo
Outside papers have arrived con
taining the particulars of the death
of ex-St nator Wolcott of Colorado,
which occurred at Monte Carlo,
Principality of Monaco, March i.
He was dangerously ill but a
short time.
He was a Republican, but was
opposed to Penbodyism and his
influence helped to elect Adams,
the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor.
On the death of Wolcott W. ('».
Evans withdrew his support from
Peabody, which was instigated by
hatred of Walcott; and this fact
undoubtedly contributed to ‘he fail
ure of the conspiracy to rob Adams
ot the governorship.
