THE BEAR AND THE SHARK.
Russia and Japan May Fight for Pos

LONDON, Nov. lin connection with
the reported Anglo-American understand
ing about the open door in China, Japans
attitude in far Eastern affairs is much can
vassed. Several correspondents in China
talk of a coming conflict between Japan
and Russia over Corea. A letter from Seoul,
which appears in the Times to-day, says:
THE japanese are convinced that to permit
Russia to acquire Corea establish Rus
sian ascendency in northern China would
be strategically. politically and commercial
~ a deadly menace to Japans rapidly de-
veloping strength Japan believes her navy
IS strong enough to attack Russia, and the
general opinion is that the interests of the
TWO nations are so conflicting that 1t is i'm
possible to avoid a rupture in the near fu-
fure."
The Spectator discusses the matter and
thinks such conflict extremely probable,
but does not see any cause for Great Brit
ain to interfere, adding: Let the bear and
the shark fight their quarrel for themselves,
while we, with America, insist upon the
\ppen door policy"

TO OBSERVE THE BOER WAR.
Japan VIII Send a Competent officer
to south Africa.

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash. Nov. u.-Ad-
vices received by the Oriental steamship st.
Irene. arriving to-day, indicate that the
Japanese government is taking a great in
terest in the South African war. Upon the
recommendation of the staff of the Japanese
army, an officer will be sent to the scene of
hostilities for the purpose of gaining prac-
teal knowledge of the strength and tactics
OF the Boer army. This move on the part
of Japan, according to the Kobe Chronicle,
is indispensable for the reason that Japan
may be forced TO rely upon the assistance
of British army at no distant date. The
Russian minister in Seoul has created con-
siderable stir in the diplomatic circles OF
Japan by making a demand to have the
spheres OF influence of the respective pow
ers in Korea defined, and has made prop
osition to this effect TO the ministers OF va
rious powers, through GermanyS represent
alive. Japan strongly opposes the move
ment. and IL is claimed in official circles
that Russia has evolved n plan to counter
act Japans influence in Korea.

Fears for a shin. safety.

ship St. Enoch, from Panama, for Port
land, is out 116 days and much anxiety is
felt regarding her. The feeling of appre-
hension is not so much regarding the safety
of the ship as of the men aboard of her.
Yellow fever has been raging at Panama,
and the entire crew of some OF the vessels
going 10 the port have persisted. The Corio-
lanus, which left Panama about the same
time as the st. Enoch, lost ten men in the
port and five men just after leaving there,
being compelled to put back for others to
take their places. The st. Enoch was spok-
en- nearly fifty days after leaving Panama,
and in that time had hardly got clear of
the port. 1t Is feared that her long delay
in that fever-infested latitude, together
with lack of fresh food, has caused an cpl
demic of fever on board and that the ship,
If she is still af1oat, Is drifting around
the ocean without enough men alive to
work her.

FOR TOBACCO
Market is Beginning to Show a
Great Improvement.
Prospect For a Short Crop Gives q
BulIlsh Tendency To Prices.

The prospects are that this will be the
poorest tobacco season ever known in
Kentucky.
The lateness of the planting season,
the untoward weather conditions and
the ravages Of worms and grasshoppers
makes it certain that the crop will be
very short.
This prospect has stimulated the de.
mand for the weed and prices are on the
jump, with no evidences of falling off.
Several splendid sales were made last
week at Louisville by local planters.
Taylor. Cook & Drury, of r )setta sold
20 hogsheads of tobacco at Louisville
last week at an average of 500, They
came home elated at the price.
