always taking it as an impossibility
that the situation in the Far East is
even grave. Others of the diplomatic
corps seem tc be without news and
express general ideas. the easy and
safe one being that "hostilities are
quite unlikely" and that each side is
testing its adversary TO the breaking
point Everywhere there is anxiety for
authoritative news that shall bring the
period of suspense to an end.
The mobilization of the Japanese
navy is at least partially attributed.
according to a Vladivostok dispatch to
the Cologne Gazette, to open acts of
hostility on the part of the Koreans
toward japanese. probably necessitat-
ing active measures of defense of Jap
anese interests in Southern Korea.
The Cologne Gazette considers that
this dispatch is an admission that ia
pan has a good claim to defend her
interests in Southern Korea by force
of arms and cOntroverts the rumors to
the effect that Russia would regard the
landing of a considerable Japanese
force in Southern Korea as a casus
bell The paper concludes:
THE attitude of Russia on this ques-
ton may therefore be regarded as a
further concession on her part"

had not been crowned with success.
But ahe Japanese Minister laid much
stress on the dispatch from Paris. an
nouncing that the French Government
did not believe that war between Rus
sia ard Japan would break out, and
said:
The French Government must be
in a better position than that of any
other power TO know the nature of the
Russian reply. If they are honest in
saying they do not believe there was
danger Of war they must have been
pretty certain Russia will agree at
least to the spirit OF Japans proposals.

Of this, and unless Russia does agree

Minister Hayashi definitely stated
that the Russian evacuation of Man
churia was not one of the Japanese
cardinal demands.
FRANCE TO REMAIN NEUTRAL.
Baron Hayashi has declared that
in the event Of war. he had the best
authority for saying that France would
not join forces with Russia, even
should China cooperate with Japan
and that the Triple Alliance would
preserve strict neutrality. For the
former statement Baron Hayashi's au-
thority is not known, and his belief in
Frances neutrality in case of China
Joining IN the conflict creates some
doubt and astOnishment. In diplomatic
circles here there is no indication when
the Russian reply may be expected.

Moreno and Rivadavia.
LONDON, Dec. 3O.-Japan this even
ing completed the purchase of the Ar
gentine warshiDs Moreno and Rivada-
via, building at Genoa, Italy. for which
Russia was also negotiating.
News has been received here confirm
ing previous reports that Japan is
mobilizing troops, probably with the
object of occupying Korea. The con-
firmation has reached the German Gov
ernment officially, and it is interpreted
here, as in Paris, to mean not that ia
pan intends to send an ultimatum to
Russia, but that japan may occupy
Korea without Russia considering it a
casus belli. The situation is regarded
here tonight as developing rapidly, yet
not necessarily toward war
In response to an inquiry as to
whether it was true, as asserted by the
Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin, that Japan
had notified the powers that the Russo
Japanese situation was desperate and
that an immediate reply would be re-
quired from Russia, falling which ia
pan would strike, the following state

JAPANESE READY TO FIGHT.

Little Brown Men on Pacific Coast
Propose to Return to Orient.
SEATTLE, Dec. 3O.-Five hundred
young Japanese in Seattle are ready to
fight for their country in the event of
war with Russia. This number have
sent their residence address to the I'm
perial Government. a Japanese mer-
chant in Seattle is authority for the
statement that this means more than
appears on the surface. He says that
the men are instructed to secretly or
ganize and prepare to go to the Ori-
ent when transport under guard of
two warships will come here to re-
ceive them. He further says that Sc
cret papers have been received from
Japan asking that all merchants and
subjects of the Imperial. Government
contribute a tenth part of their l.
come as a war fund.
The work has been going on secret
ly and seems to have developed to
such an extent that good sized army
is expected to be organized from the
Pacific Coast States alone. BY some
it is estimated that fully 5000 able
bodied men are ready to proceed to
Japan from Washington. Oregon Cal
ifornia and British Columbia This
secret enrolment is said to be under
way in all the larger cities of the
coast.
Saburo Hisamidzu, Japanese Con-
sui here, denies that there is any or
der or secret arrangement from his
Government and knows nothing re-
garding the talk of japanese trans
ports and warships coming to Seat
tie. He says that the list now being
sent to Japan are the lists OF able
bodied fighting men that are forward
ed to the Imperial Government every
year.

BIDDING FOR COCOANUTS

PAPEETE, Tahiti Dec. 1S.-A
representative of large interests in
Australia and New Zealand is here
and is understood to be planning the
erection of a desiccated cOcoanut
plant. He may also separate the fiber
of the cocoanut husk. These enter
prises are likely to stimulate the
planters to new activity. There is
rumor that New Zealand and Aus
tralia may bid against San Francisco
for cocoanuts in the future.
The Societe Commercials de

announcement is. authorized that for
days Takahiras mails contained many
letters from Americans wishing 10 en-
list in the japanese amy or navy. The
Minister is sending a personal note to
each writer. expressing the profound
appreciation of the Japanese people
for this evidence of sympathy on the
part of the Americans, but saying that,
even if assistance were needed, the laws
of Japan preclude the employment of
any foreign troops. Furthermore,
Japans army and navy are adequate
to meet the emergency. Takahira has
advised his Government by cable of
these offers of assistance and the
japanese embassies and legations
throughout Europe also will be made
aware OF this demonstration of Ameri-
can sympathy.
Count Cassini, in declining the offers
which his Government also is receiv-
ing, is expressing his appr aciation of
the spirit which prompts them. He is
likewise advising ST. Petersburg of the
fact, that the Russian Government may
know of the sympathy felt for Russia
in the present crisis.

Reply 20 FINAL Note.
PARIS, Dec. 30.-The Chinese Gov
ernment has promised United States
Minister Conger to soon forward the
Chinese copy Of the commercial treaty
to Washington for the exchange of rat
ifications. 1t is necessary first to obtain
the Emperor's seal. When the treaty
shall have been ratified the opening Of
Moukden and Antung to the commerce
of the world can be pressed.
It is learned in diplomatic circles that
the japanese Government has informed
the foreign diplomats that the situation
with respect to Russia is desperate, but
not hopeless. 1t is believed this infor-
nation was communicated to the
French Government for presentation at
st. Petersburg.
While still not believing that war be-
tween Russia and Japan will occur. the
optimistic tone in official and diplo-
matte circles here was somewhat modi-
fed to-day by advices from Toxic and
St Petersburg. Japan, 1t appears, is
Fastening preparations for the purpose,
it is suggested. of influencing Russia s
action upon the Japanese note. Russia,
on the other hand, has no intention to
hurry Her reply is not expected to be
made before January 10. Russias pur-
pose seems to be to put the onus of de-
claring war upon japan, If such be the
result of the negotiations.

japanese will effect landing in Korea.
Well. what of it, and what after?" This
indicates that Russia proposes no pre-
cipitate action, should Japan try to
force the situation. The Novoe Vremya,
upon the latest news, takes up the key
note universally heard thus:
we Russians have employed every
means ard have been making ali the
concessions possible in order to avoid
the deplorable contingency of this
scourge to the people.
LATE OUTLOOK GLOOMY.
"The late peaceful news is destroyed
by to-day's Toxic news. Japan is TAX
ing extreme measures. Russia does not
seek war, but not one Russian would
for one moment desire that Russia.

made to dance to the piping of Japan
and her friends. With full knowledge
OF her. strength Russia is awaiting
events"
The official Novy Krai says:
"A Mongolian war cloud darkens the
horizen. Chinese news shows that the
yellow peril Is being strengthened by
Europe at the expense of Russia
The Dirschewya Viedomosti begins
an editorial with the strong declaration
that it would be folly for Russia, after
expending such stuDendCus sums on
railroads, to be asked by a small power
like Japan TO get out, and proceeds to
say:
mo man of intelligence in Russia
would like to see his country at war.
But the present crisis is one Of such
supreme Importance to Russia that any
giving way on part of this country
would be unworthy of the nations

RUSSIANS ARE ASSERTIVE.
Last evening at meeting of a num-
Der of intelligent representative Rus
slams of the kind that can be taken as
echoing popular sentiment. the spirit
shown coincided with impressions
gathered here in governmental cir
cles, which is that there is rapidly
growing impatience and ever increasing
conviction of necessity for Russia to
assert herself, the tone of opinion be-
ing summed up>as follows:
Russia must be the dominating pow
er in the Far East She long ago be-
came tired of annoyance of inferior
Eastern powers contesting for the same
position, and is convinced that it is
high time that Russia should strike
with mailed fist and show once for all
that she will not be trifed with, and
the pretension of Japan that the yellow
races are to rule the Far East is one
which Russians canno- admit
Apropos Of this a Vladivostok tele-
gram to the NovOe Vremya says that
much attention has been drawn there
to the avowed intentions of the Japan
ese to place themselves in front as
power of the Far East with the theory
of Asia for Asians' and to conclude
an alliance for that purpose with the
Asiatic powers.

Peace To-Day; War TO-Morrow,
Saws the OficiaI Novoe Vremya.

d.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 3O.-The for
eign dispatches received here yesterday
afternoon are reflected to-day in more
pessimistic editorials. The Novoe
Vremya begins its leader with:
There is no war to-day; tomorrow
there may be war"
The paper rather Realistically directs
attention to the fact that wars marked
the opening of the seventeenth, eight
eenth and nineteenth centuries. The
Novoe Vremya, nevertheless, still pos
sesses faith in a peaceful settlement,
saying:
I'VE believe Japan will not place Rus
sia in a position where to yield would
appear to be a renunciation of the de-
fense of her vital interests in the Far
East. Russia does not desire war, but
nobody in Russia will permit the Jap
anese or other friends to execute dip
lomatic dance upon Russia's peaceful
disposition. In firm consciousness of
her power, Russia will await events. "
