London, March 22.-The Foreign Office
takes a pessimestic view OF the imme
date future in the Far East in spite Of
the settlement of the Tien Tsin incident,
and entertains grave fears that the rela-
tons between Japan and Russia may
shortly reach the danger point.
Judging from information obtained in
various official quarters in London, Japan
has confded to at least some of the pow
ers her determination to oppose at all
costs any. secret agreements made be-
tween Russia and China by which the
former could secure territorial or other
advantages contiguous to Korea.
The British Government has received
no official confirmation that the Japanese
fleet is mobilizing; but it would not be
surprised to learn that such were the
facts. A highly placed British official
said to representative of the Associated
Press:
All Japan wants is free hand against
Russia. This she has so far as England
and Germany are concerned. and l pre-
sumo so far as the United States Gov
eminent is concerned; although | do not
imagine for one moment that any of the
powers mentioned would be drawn into a
war between Japan and Russia. If Japan
sees nothing for it but to fight, she
would have the moral support of obiec-
tions committed to paper by at least two
M har tinc wit n
China. That is all; but Japan seems to
consider it sufficient to provide against
interference"
'osfrmation of the foregoing definition
of the situation was afforded by the Secre-
tary of the Japanese legation, who said
in the course of an interview:
while rejoicing at the fact that Eng
land and Russia have reached pacific
settlement over the minor issue the main
question the integrity of the Chinese
rpire--remains unsettled. In response
to pressure brought by Japan upon Rus
STA, it was announced that Russia's secret
treaties with China had been modified
but the terms have been withheld Until
we see the treaties, we will not be salts
fed that the modification does not coz
sist of words merely, without any alter
alton in the spirit. In this contention we
believe other powers will support us.
1t appears that Great Britain would be
quite willing to refer the whole Man
churian matter to arbitration on the lines
of The Hague conference. The Tien Tsir
siding affair is not considered important
enou IN to be disposed of in this way ant
it will Immediately become matter Of
diplomatic interchange between st. Peters
burg and London.

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Report ON Their Agricultural and Horticul
tural Aspects to be Published
(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, March 22.-The Agricul-
tural Department will have in print
soon a valuable report on the agricul-
tural and horticultural aspects of the
Hawaiian Islands which was made by
Prof. VIM. c. Stubs, director of the
Louisiana Experiment Station, who was
sent to the islands by the department to
investigate the advisability of establish
ing an experiment station there. DR..
Stubs says that owing to the unusually
favorable conditions, sugar is only the
leading agricultural occupation but is the
principal industry of the islands, the eX-
ports of sugar being more than so per
cent of the total exports of the islands.
At present this industry is in a very
prosperous condition but other agricultu-
raj industries are either not well de-
veloped or are not in a profitable condi-
ton. He found that coffee growing is
diminishing and the other large agricul-
tural crop, rice, is now grown on up
to-date plans. Stock raising is conducted
to some extent, but there is need of i'm
prove stock and better pasturage. Dairy
ing as an adjunct to agriculture and is
almost unknown, and dairy products eX-
ceedingly expensive. Little has been
done in the islands in the way of vege-
table and fruit growing for marketing
purposes except with bananas and pine
apples. The little that has been at
tempted shows that almost every kind
of fruit and vegetable may be grown
somewhere upon the islands.

TIE PLAN WAsI aosEcR ANS
The Question Who Relieved The Army Cumber-
land Settled
CBy the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, March ga contro-
versy which has been pending in the
War Department since 1891, in which
the veterans of the Eactern and West
ern armies, who fought at Chattanooga
have been interested, has just been
settled by a board of officers appointed
in August last by Secretary Root, of
which board Major John r. Brooke was
president. Gen. VIM. T. Smith, known
to the armies as Badly Smith, has
for ten years persistertly claimed that
he and not Rosecrans originated the
plan by which the Army of CumDer-
land was relieved in October, 1853, by
the opening of the river line of sup
splies from Chattanooga to Bridgeport
by way of Browns Ferry. The Chicka-
manga Park Commission in the legends
accompanying it's atlas of the battles
about Chattanooga, set forth that this
plan yby which the Army Of the Cumber-
Gen. Smith took issue with the COM
mission and finally asked Secretary Root
to refer the whole subject to board
of army officers. In response to this
request Secretary Root appointed as
members of such board, Maj. Gen. John
r. Brooke Col. George L. Gillespie,
Corps of Engineers, and Col. M. V. Sher-
idan. Assistant Adjutant General.
After a lengthy review of the case
the board thus states It's conclusions,
which have been officially approved by
the Secretary o. War:
After a diligent search of the official
records, the board fails to find any evil
dence that General w. f. Smith was the
originator of the plan for the relief
CT Chattanooga, Tennessee, by military
operations to be conducted in Lookout
Valley October, 1863. On the contrary,
| there is abundant evidence in the official
records to show that the plan, which con-
| templated crossings of the Tennessee
! River at Bridgeport, and at the northern
| end of Lookout Valley and which was
successfully executed by General Thomas
| October 1928, October, 1868, was devised
| and prepared for by General Rosecrans
| before relinquishing command and that
/ its execution was begun under orders is
| sued by General Thomas the very night
| October &c, 1853, was devised and
| was relieved from command of the De-
| partment of the Cumberland, and without
| consultation with General Smith.
There is no evidence to show that
| General Smith took any part, whether
| by counsel or by action, in the opera
! items conducted by General Hooker
| through Lockout Valley from the direc-
| tion of Bridgeport.
I'm conclusion the board IS Of the
| opinion that the legend complained OF
/ does no Injustice to the military record
| of General w. F. Smith

Lincoln, Neb., March 23.-In tomorrow
issue of the Commoner, under the head
ing six Dollars Reward" W. J. Bryan
replies to the letter of Grover Cleveland
to the Crescent Democratic Club, OF Bal
timore.
Mr.. Bryan refers to Mr.. Cleveland's
expression "a return to Democratic prin-
ciples" and offers the former President
six dollars for definition of what he
means. Mr. Bryan then continues:
When the battle was on between a re-
public and an empire, between Democ-
racy and a plutoeracy--between bimetal-
lism and monomentallism-he (Cleveland)
refused tc say a word or lift a hand in
behalf of 1.-The rank and file" for whom
he now expresses such an atfectionate
solicitude. AS soon as the election was
over he came forth from his seclusion
and made the air vocal with his sugges-
TORS
Assuming to be inspired by purer
Democracy and boasting of superior vir-
tue, he began TO offer unsolicited advice
to the party to which he once belonged.
He is like the soldier who was described
as invisible in war, and !nylnciDle IN
peace To desertion of the party organl-
cation and betrayal of the principles OF
the party he adds ostentatious pretense OF
interest in the plain people while he con-
ceals his ideas in ponderous and plati-
tudinous phrases. If he will clearly and
candid1y define the Democratic principles
about which he is so prone to look at the
people can decide for themselves whether
he is the same Cleveland who turned the
