Tokyo, Dec. 18.-The conference Of
the elder statesmen Of Japan, including
the Marquis Ito, and the cabinet min

official statement, in a determination
to oppose a strong front to Russia in
view Of the latter's unsatisfactory re
ply to the Japanese proposals.
Another report says it is understood
that. although the Russian reply was
considered highly unsatisfactory, the
conference decided to make another
and probably last attempt to arrive at
a friendly settlement.
The situation is considered grave.
Even the most sober section Of the Jap.

action.
In addition to the Marquis Ito, Field
Marshal Yamagata. senior field mar

Washington Dec 1s.-The president
has signed the Cuban reciprocity bill.
Now that the bill has become a law
d question Of great interest has arisen
namely, the effect Of the reduction Of
the duty on Cuban sugar upon impor-
tations of sugar from other countries.
The British government has served
formal notice upon the state depart
ment that, under the favored nation
clause, it expects that British sugar
from the British West Indies shall be
admitted into the United States on
equal terms with Cuban sugar, and it
IS not doubted that Germany, France,
Austria and the other great beet sugar
producing countries will do likewise.
An old holding Of Attorney General
0lney, in President Cleveland's admin
istratlon, was adverse to such demands,
but the question promises to be re-
opened with vigor.

Honest Little Dick.

In all my life I never saw so hon
est a little cat as our Dick. He not
only never stole himself, but he
would not allow any other cat to
steal if he could help it. The dear
little fellow, however, was strongly
tempted once and came very near to
losing his good name.
One day the cook carried out pail
of nice little frostfsh and set it
down in the yard. Dick was there.
Dick always was near by when there
were good things to eat. The cook
went back into the house, and Dick
sat down to wait for her return, and
two of his especial friends were at
the window upstairs, looking down
to see what "honest little Dick"
would do.
The cook was long time coming
back to dress the fish, and all the
while Dick kept watch, now on the
pail, now on the kitchen door. At
'OoC LS "SAI SOLucM hat ucdTcF W Tie
pail, then nearer, then nearer. All,
frosttish smell so good! Dicks lit
tie nose almost touched them, and
then he sat down and cried at the
top of his voice for cook to return
quickly and save him from becom-
ing a thief.
Still she did not come. At last
Dick put his fore paws on the edge
OF the pail. Then he looked at the
kitchen door and cried again. But
the door did not open. So slowly,
softly a paw reached down into the
pail. But before it had gone as far
down as the fish it came back with a
jerk empty, and its owner ran
around the corner of the house,
where he would not see or smell
those nice frostfsh any more. He
did not want to be thief, and we
believe that the little fellow never
came so near it agaln.--Little Folks.
