Ito returns.
London, May "A dispatch to the
Times from Odessa says IL Is semi
oficiaIly announced that Russia has
made every preparation and is quite
ready to begin hostiliues II Japan re-
fuses to modify the terms OF her treaty
of peace with China.
4 Berlin dispatch to the Times says
that negotiations are actively proceed
ing TO secure an amcable settlement OF
the troubles between Russia, Germany
and France on the one hand, and ia
pan on the other. In consequence OF
these negotiations, Japan has not
made a formal reply to the protest OF
the powers.
a st. Petersburg dispatch to the
same paper says there is reason TO be-
lieve that an early official answer from
Japan to the protest Of Russia, Ger
many and France was not expected.
Russia is inclined TO give Japan plenty
of time in which TO reply without the
latter stultifying herself in the eyes of
the japanese people by anything like
a too hasty compliance. The Russian
envoy at Toxic has lately pressed for
a reply to the protest and has been
told that it will be given in a few days
on the return of Count Ito, president
Of the Japanese council of ministers.
In diplomatic circles there is great con-
fidence that a pacific solution of the
matter viii be reached.

am told that the Japanese have declared
it is impossible for them to Yield TO the
dictation of Russia, and are making
their preparations accordingly. Large
orders have been placed in several Eu-
roDean countries for war material and
japanese agents are busy in the dock
yards of Europe and America buying
war vessels, mostly small swift cruisers.
No respite Will be allowed China for
the ratification of the treaty. The
march to Pekin begins the moment the
armistic ends. AS regards Russia, her
claims will be politely waived and 1t
will then be imperative that the allies
bring matters to an issue.

NO SYMPATHY GIVEN STRIKERS.
None of the A K. L. Strikers to Work on
the santa te system.

Topeka. Kan, May 2-Renewed ap-
pealS have been made recently to Cen
eral Manager Frey of the Santa Fe
for the reinstatement of the Ameri-
can Railway union men, who struck
last year, but he refuses to recede
from his original determination to take
none Of such men back into the serV-
Ice of the company.
These men, he says, had permanent
work and could have retained their
positions just as long as they perform
ed their duties and obeyed the rules
and regulations, but they saw proper
to connect themselves with an ire
sponsible organization rather than to
remain loyal TO the company which
gave them steady employment and
furnished them with means of sup
port for themselves and their families.
In conclusion, Mr.. Frey says: Sure
iy the manag ement cannot be blamed
for the present condition of these
men, as due warning was given to all
employees before the strike took place,
protesting against any action of our
employees in support of the American
Railway union IN its fight against
the Pullman COmpany.'
