INrIMArloN THAT RUSSIA MAY
DECIDE TO GRANT THE JAP
ANEsE REQUESTS.
BELIEVED War CAN BE AvERTED
GREAT BRITAIN SAID TO HAVE
MADE REPRESENTATIONS
TO THE CZAR.

Berlin, Dec. 25.--An intimation has
reached the Japanese legation here
that Russia will concede Japans re-
quests.
Inquiries by the Associated Press as
to particulars of this intimation
whether It came from Toxic or st.
Petersburg brought out nothing more
than that a peaceful solution is now
probable.
The British government, it is under
stood from another source, has repre-
sented to the czar that Great Britain
deems Japan's demands just and
earnestly expects that Russia will
grant them. This representation is
supported by the utterances of the
British ambassadors here and in Paris
and Vienna, who have informed the
respective governments to which they
are accredited that japan, in the opin-
ion of the British government, will
fight if Russia holds to the position
taken in her recent note.
The Russian ambassador here has
for several days been inquiring freely
what the opinions of the diplomatic
corps are

Chicago. Dec. 25.--Further legal
troubles for John Alexander Dowie

petition was filed in the United States
district court asking for permission to
start suits against Dowie in the state
courts while bankruptcy proceedings
are still pending. The attorney who
filed the petition and who represents
Q number of .creditors gave as a. rea.
son a belief that Dowie is to leave the
jurisdiction of the court Dec. 27 on a
trip to Australia. Judge Kohlsaat in
timated he would not object to the
starting of suits in the state court,
but expressed a desire that Dowie's
counsel be advised and given chance

MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.
Diplomats Believe Some Way to Avoid
War Will Be Found.


London, Dec. 25.-Diplomatic circles
In London look for several days OF
dull Russo-Japanese negotiations.
The japanese legation points out
that Japan's counter proposals will
possibly entail somewhat prolonged
consideration.
United States Ambassador Choate is
among those who can hardly conceive
how it is possible that some way out
of the difficulty cannot be found in
order to avoid war which must be
so disastrous to both nations and the
consequences of which upon other ma
tions cannot be foreseen.'
The reported naval and military
preparations on the part Of Russia and
Japan are regarded here as ordinary
precautions which would inevitably be
taken by the disputants in such case
and which have but slight bearing on
the eventual issue.
On the supposition that Great Brit
ain as last resort might threaten to
forcibly interfere the United States
naval attache, Captain Charles H.
Stockton, pointed out to an Associated
Press representative that Great Brit
aims extraordinarily developed naval
mobilization at the present moment
was a great factor towards peace.

TITLE TO RICH ORE LANDS.
Minnesota Supreme Court Decides Fa-
nous Mueller Case.


st. Paul, Dec 25.-The supreme
court has filed decision affirming
the findings of the lower court in the
big land case of F.. S. Kosmerl ct al.
against Katrina Mueller ct al. This
action originated in Duluth and con-
cerned the ownership of rich mineral
lands in the Mesaba range.
This land was formerly owned by
Johann Mueller, who died few years
ago. During his life he mortgaged the
property to the plaintiff, Rev. Father
Kosmerl, who afterward asserted title
through foreclosure.
Later Katrina Mueller of Detroit
claimed to be the wife OF the decedent
Mueller.
The lower court ruled against her,
holding that the only rightful heirs
lived in Austria s'Sss
The supreme court says that the
only question for it to pass upon was
as to the sufflciency Of the evidence to
sustain the trial court that the appel
lants, the defendants, were not the
rightful heirs.
The court rules that the findings of
the lower court are fully sustained by
a decided weight Of evidence.

Ito, president of the privy council, and
the Marquis Yamagata, chief of the

FOR CHIPPEWA TIMBER.
Commissioner Richards Announces
the Successful Bidders.


Washington, Dec. 25.--Commissioner
Richards of the general land Office has
announced his awards under the sealed
bids received for timber on the ceded
Chippewa Indian lands in the state
of Minnesota in the vicinity Of Cass
Lake, the sale for which was held
several weeks ago. The total amount
covered by the accepted bids is ST.
1912 The bids were accepted sub
ject to the states selection recently
filed fo' some of these lands. The
successful bidders are the Northland
Pine company, St. Paul; Pine Tree
Lumber company, Little Falls, Mimi;
Burlington Lumber company, Burling-
ten, Ia; Standard Lumber company,
Dubuque, Ia; Brainerd Lumber COM
pany, Brainerd, Mimi; the Mueller
Lumber company and the J. Neils
Lumber company.
The bids given were for the amounts
OF timber shown by the government
estimate at price per thousand feet
and may be increased when paid for
on the bank scale as the law requires.
There was considerable conflict
among the bidders, the law allowing
them to group their sections to suit
their convenience and it was very
hard in some cases to compare the
bids because of this conflict of groups.
The local officers had made recon-
mendations differing somewhat. By
close comparison of the bids the COM
missioner found that $19,529 more
money could be realized by accepting
the above bids for fifty-seven sections,
or less timber than that recommended
by the local officers. The value of this
timber, according to government esti-
mate is S29.O19
