SITUATION In FAX EAST
CONFLICTING REPORTS As TO
WAR AND PEACE.
Statement from Paris That Russia and
Japan Arc on the Verge of a settle.
ment-British cabinet Believed 10
Have Been Informed That Japan is
Aware Russia wiII Not Concede Her
Demands.

Paris, Dec. 1.-The Associated Press
learns that Japan and Russia are on
the verge of a settlement of the Far
Eastern controversy which promises to
dissipate the war cloud that has been
hanging over both countries. This set
tlement will be the result of the nego-
tiations which have been in progress
for some time past and which were as
sisted by the friendly representations
of France to Russia and of Great Brit
ain to Japan. The two nations have
practically agreed upon the basis of a
treaty, the signing of which can be
prevented only by some unexpected
development.
The basis of this forthcoming agree
ment follows:
Russia will accept the two agreements
entered into by Japan and Korea dated
1896 and 1898 respectively under which
Japan secured various rights in Korea,
including the maintenance of a garrison
at Seoul. In exchange for this conces-
sion Japan will accept Russia's treaty
with China respecting Manchuria.
1t is believed-though this cannot be
stated as positively-that Japan and
Russia will reiterate their support of
the principles of the open door, and
the integrity Of China and of Korea.
In diplomatic and official circles here
considerable qualification is expressed
at the satisfactory stage upon which
the negotiations between Russia and
Japan have now entered.

| London, Dec. 2.-The Daily Mail this
morning says it thinks it most likely
that the cabinet has received an inti-
nation that Japan is aware of Russia's
fixed determination not to concede her
demands, 'in which case struggle be-
tween Japan and Russia is within
measurable distance" ..-.A
According to the Daily Nails Toxic
correspondent Marquis saionyi, ad-.
dressing members of the Seiyukai party
yesterday said that the coming session
of the diet involving the consideration
of the problem of Russo Japanese rela-
tions would be one Of the most momen-
tous ever held, and that single false
step might precipitate national calam-
ity. The marquis deprecated any yexa-
tious interference with the government.

correspondent says that all the leading
newspapers at the Japanese capital and
even the business men denounce Rus
sia's delay in sending an answer to
EJapan's demands and advocate a reso-
lutte policy. The situation, therefore,
looks more menacing than at any pre-
vious period. I

oARNEGIE's OFFER ACCEPTED.
Philadelphia Takes Milton and Half
for Libraries,

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-City councils
committee on free libraries to-day voted
to accept from Andrew Carnegie the
gift of $1,5oo,000 for the building of thir-
ty branch libraries in this city. The
gift was contingent on the city furnish
ing the sites, appropriating 10 per cent.
Of the total cost of the libraries for
maintenance and purchasing the books.
There was spirited opposition to the ac-
ceptance of the money because it made
necessary an annual appropriation Of
$150,000 to maintain the libraries.

biasoiustoD of PaE itamenf.
London, Dec. 1.-George' Wydham,
chief secretary of Ireland, speaking at
Workington tonight said that the gov
ernment had still great deal of work
to do and that it was not true that a
general election was impending.
This official confirmation that the gov
ernment is not meditating dissolution
of parliament will increase the cruiosi-
ty as to the reason for the holding of
frequent cabinet councils. Premier Bal
four, Austen Chamberlain, the chancel-
lor of the exchequer, and Lord Lans-
downe, secretary of foreign affairs, had
a conference at the foreign Office to-
day and another cabinet meeting will be
held on Friday.
1t is the general belief that the sit
uation in the far east is causing anxiety
owing to the Unexpectedly protracted
negotiations between Russia and Japan.

AGREE ON THE SWORD.
German Societies Decide That Ii Is
the Proper Weapon to Use In
Dazzling.

SiXty-seven students societies, with
a membership of $500, from the Ber-
lin university, theSTeehnical insti-
tute, and other Institutions in Ber-
lin, held great meeting in the Phil
harmonic hall against pistol duels
between students and officers.
The pistol was denounced as a
weapon for American trappers, and
the sword was declared to he prefer
able, it standing upon higher moral
plane and being a more chivalrous
weapon.
The speakers pointed out that the
German emperor had repeatedly adj
vised the officers to practice with
swords and to settle their affairs of
honor with that arm, but the officers
object, on the ground that the sword
is not severe enough to wash their
stained honor clean.
The meeting finally adopted reso-
luton asking the minister of war to
give the students committee an equal
voice with the officers courts of hon
or in settling difficulties between the
students and the officers. The reso-
luton also asked the minister to per-
nit the use of pistols only in the
case of grave family insults and
when one of the parties is physically
unable to fight with the sword.

AMERICAN TRADE CRITICISED.
The Absolute Necessity of Sending
the Best Material Abroad
shown.

1t is necessary to repeat the warn
ings previously given to American
manufacturers for foreign markets
against the FOLLY of snpnlxing- any
thing except the best materials in the
early and critical periods of their
trade TO European and other custom
ers. Every failure or shOrtcoming,
for whatever cause, is seized upon and
exploited for the general diseredit of
the American trade. The London pa
pers constantly print complaints in
regard to such matters, such as one
which originated from the manager
of the Assam Railway company. He
says that four American locomotives
which were received less than four
years ago require new crown plates.
He adds that the makers of the loco
motives ought to pay the cost of re-
pairs, as failure after such a short
space of time could only be due to
carelessness in design. This moves q
writer in the London Times to express
the hope that the Indian Railway
company will learn some day that the
lowest-priced engine is not necessarily
the cheapest.
