The TENSION IS ACUTE.
Japan Makes Demand Upon Russia For
Reply.
ALARMING REPORTS FROM TOXIC.
The Question Of an UItmatum 10 Russia Said
TO Have Been Considered by the japanese
Cabinet Couneil-The Dict Meets This
Week. When Il Is Hoped Crisis May Be
Finally Averted.

London (By c).-Thc Toxic cor
respondent oi the Daily Mail says it is
reported on credible authority that at
Tuesdays cabinet council it was actu-
ally proposed TO send an ultimatum to
Russia, but that this grave step was
eventually abandoned in favor OF the
milder course which was ultimately
adopted.
The correspondent says the tension is
acute and it is generally felt that a
few days will see important develop
ments.
1t is reported at Toxic that Japanese
Minister kurino, at St. Petersburg
twice within the past 10 days had de-
mandcd Count Lamsdorff's reply to the
final proposals OF the japanese govern
ment. Count Lamsdorff proposed pro-
ceeding to AlcNandrov Tor the purpose
OF securing the sanction OF the Gar
to the draft OF the answer drawn by
Niceroy Alcxieff and Baron de Rosen
the Russian minister to Japan, but had
so far been prevented from so doing
owing to the illness OF Czarina.
The Emperor OF Japan, it is expected,
will open the Diet this week, when it
is hoped that definite developments in
the Far Eastern situation may avert the
impending crisis and allay the domes-
tic impatience.
The Shimpoto, or Progressists, the
opposition in the lower house OF the
Japanese Diet, and the Sci Yu Ka
(or party following the Marquis Ito,
president OF the Privy CounciD, the
two leading political parties, held mass.
meetings at Toxic. The Shimpotos
leader, Okuma, severely censured the
Cabinets foreign policy. The Marquis
Sauonji, the Sci Yu Kais' leader, was
more moderate, but he hinted at CEN
sure. Both agreed on the necessity for
mutual cooperation, which obviously
is against the Cabinet.

BIG HAUL BY DETECTIVES.
Five Men and Three Women Arrested in
Philadelphia in Diamond Frauds.

Philadelphia (SpeciaD Five men
and three women, all of whom said
they lived in New York, were arrested
in an apartment house here on sus-
picion OF being professional thieves.
A sixth man, who was in the room
when the six city detectives entered the
place, made his escape. In the room
were found diamonds, furs, dress
goods, paintings and costly sealsltin
coat. These articles, with the eXcep-
ton OF the diamonds, were stored in
trunks and dress-suit cases, which, it
is said, were to have been sent to New
York.
The accused persons had been in the
house only few days, and the ar
rests were the direct result OF a con
versation overheard by the proprietress
OF the apartment house. She claims to
have heard one OF the prisoners say
how easily they had robbed Stearn &
Co.. OF New York, OF property valued
at 5000, and that they intended TO rob
prominent store in this city.
The police say they also found arti-
cles valued at $500, believed to have
been stolen in Denver, Col. The po-
lice claim to know one OF the women
and say ,her picture is in the rogues'
gallery in Brooklyn, where they claim
she served lS months.

Colon (By Cable Through a letter
the Panama Government has discover
ed what is alleged to have been plot
against the life OF General Huertas,
commander -in-chiei OF the forces OF the
Republic OF Panama, and an effort on
the part OF a few army officers to per
suade the garrison at Panama to revolt.
III such a plot really existed it was
promptly nippcd in the bud by the ap-

conspirators, who were Immediately
brought under guard to Colon and
shipped hence to Port Limon, Costa

Gen. REYES TALKS WITH PRESIDENT.
Colombian Commissioner, However, Receives
No Encouragement

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD Gen.
Rafael Reyes, the special minister from
Colombia, practically initiated his mis-
sion when he called upon President
Roosevelt at the White House and told
him why he had come to Washington.
General Reyes was accompanied by Sec
rotary Hay, who introduced him to the
President, and by DR.. Herran, the Co
lombian charge. The presentation took
place in the Blue Parlor, where all regu-
Tar ambassadors and ministers are re-
ceiyed, but the President infused so much
cordiality into his greeting that this oc-
casion was little out OF the ordinary.
There was no exchange OF formal
speeches, though the Colombians were
prepared to do so in case OF need. In
stead the President greeted General
Reyes informally as former acquaint-
ance, having met him when the General
was visiting the United States some time
ago. Instead OF standing to receive his
callers, as is the case in ordinary diplo-
natic presentations, the President HIM
self sat down and invited General Reyes
10 seat beside nm. The two then en-
fered upon an animated conversation,
which touched upon some notable cx-
ploits in General Reyes life, with which
the President seemed to be more or less
familiar and gradually drited around to
the subject OF General Reyes mission.
There was no definite proposition ad-
vanced by the Colombians, for the Presi-
dent intimated that the Panama problem
was a matter with which the State De-
partment alone could properly deal So
the conversation OF this point closed with
an understanding that General Reeves
who now regards his mission as duly
launched, should hereafter make any
representations respecting Panama that
be cared to broach 10 Secretary Hay.
Nevertheless. there was Just enough in
timation in the Presidents talk 10 make
his callers aware that he saw little pros
pect OF being able 10 meet their wishes.

MARTIAL LAW AT MI MES.
Provost Marshal Threatens to Lock Up
Denver Correspondents.

Cripple Creek, Col. (Special) The
declaration Of martial law has paralyzed
business in this city. Heavily armed
pickets OF the National Guards are sta
toned on all street corners, and many
residents OF the city do not venture upon
the streets. Provost Marshal Thomas +.
McClalland is occupying the Mayor OF
fee. He has caused the arrest OF sew
eral persons, but no important arrests
have yet been made.
Following the suppression OF an edi-
torial in the Victor Record, Provost
Marshal McCleland threatened to cut
off Cripple Creek from the outside world
by locking up the correspondents OF the
Denver papers and to censor all matter
to be sent to the Denver papers.
Major Naylor, commanding officer in
the absence of Colonel Nerdeckberg,
stated today that a news censor from
the city OF Denver would arrive in the
district and be in charge OF all news to be
published in the future. The name Of the
censor he has not divulged.

ton, the most brutal form OF coercion,
that makes Russian Siberia a paradise

ministered by a callous executive, and
the future will record the political re-

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Rural Delivery Service Costly.

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Edwin c. Madden, in his annual report,
says that the reform OF the abuses OF
the second-class mailing privileges is
moving steadily forward, and can be
completed in two years. Upward oi
80 publications are still involved in
court proceedings on the question OF
second-class privileges, and on the re-
suit OF these cases a great part OF the
reform depends. Mr.. Madden expects
the court proceedings will be ended
within the next few months, and the
way then opened to complete the re-
form. Mr.. Madden recommends that
Congress consolidate the third and
fourth classes OF mail matter and fix
the rate OF postage at one cent for each
two ounces or fraction thereof. The
report compares the expenditures for
rural free delivery and the deficiency
in postal revenue for the last three fis-
cal years, and says:
The rate of increase in expenditure for
the introduction and maintenance OF
the rural free delivery service has been
more than 100 per cent. per year, where
as the normal per cent. OF increase for
the whole service has been approXi-
mately II per cent. But for this sud-
den and extraordinary increase in ex-
pendture for a practically new, though
necessary branch OF the postal service,
the deficiency in the postal revenue by
the natural operation OF things, under
the system OF administration now pre-
vailing, would have been almost, ii not
entirely, eliminated"
The gross selling value OF stamped
envelopes and newspaper wrappers is
sued to postmasters was S1S,831,227,
and their postage value was SI7,75I,-
Ss2, leaving SI,o7o,375 TO defray the cost
OF manufacture and distribution.
The total number OF pieces OF stamp
ed paper issued to postmasters during
the fiscal year was 7,o24.oo2,795, OF the
value OF SI2o, $50, an increase over
the previous year OF 10 per cent. in
number and IS per cent. in value. 10
these stamp supplies should be added
o,82o24o stamp books, the selling price
OF which over the value OF the stamps
contained therein was sos, ,2o2, making
the total number OF pieces OF stamped
paper and stamp books issued to post
masters 7,o34732,o35, OF the value OF
$I2o43o,I73. The sales OF stamp
books increased almost 80 per cent.
over the previous year, and the net
profit to the department in their sale
was $4,000.
There were 77o,657,o5o postal cards
issued. Mr.. Madden recommends that
Congress authorize the Postmaster
General to accept the maiings on large
quantities OF identical pieces OF printed
matter and small articles OF merchan
disc without the necessity OF aftiXing
postage stamps to the individual
pieces.
