method of transferrfng funds, it was
not the desire of the shippers to at-

custody of a heavily armed guard
aboard express cars over the northern
route to Seattle, where it was put
aboard a steamship for Tokio.
The gold is understood to have been

Tokio, Jan. 3, 5 p. m.—Some of the

there will he an early renewal of ef-

Outwardly the Japanese government j
gives no indication of its desire in that
direction, but it is known that it is_pre-
pared to discuss the question and to
make terms which are characterised us
reasonable.
Those who predict the movement for
peace declare that the Japanese em-

these causes diminish daily the capa-
