REPLY MADE TO RUSSIA.
Mikndo Asks That Certain Points BE
Reonsidcred-Bctter Feeling
in Europe.

Toxic, Dec. 22.-Japan's reply to Rus
STA was handed to Baron de Rosen Mon
day afternoon at conference between
the Russian minister and Foreign Min
lister komura at the Russian legation.
1t is no way in the nature of an ulti-
matum, but she asks Russia to recon-
slider certain essential points in her re-
ply to Japan. Baron de Rosen is now
sufficiently recovered to resume the ne
gotiations.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 22.-Oficials of
the foreign Office do not share the pes
slmistic feeling regarding the situation
In the far east, which now comes to be
general. They say there is no reason
to despair of peaceful settlement Of
the difficulties over which Russia and
Japan are at variance.
Paris, Dec. 22.-An authoritative
denial is given of the reports from Pc
king that the French minister there has
notified China that if she allied herself
with Japan pending a settlement of the
Japanese-Russian controversy France
would advance in southern China. 1t
is said in this connection that France
has not taken any steps whatever in
the matter and is not contemplating
action in the event of rupture be-
tween Japan and Russia. On the con-
trary, the official view is that France
and Great Britain are not likely to
become involved and that Russia and
Japan will be left to settle their con-
trOVerSy,

STRONG ARRANGEMENT.
Heath, Smith and Other Ex-Postal
Officials Are Scored for Scandals
in the Service.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Perry s. Heath,
former first assistant postmaster gener-
al, is declared toebe primarily RESPONSE
BILE for the grave abuses in the postal
service in the report OF Messrs. Conrad
and Bonaparte on the charges Of S. w.
Tulloch, formerly cashier Of the Wash
ington city post Office, which was made
public Wednesday. In their censure
Heath is placed in company with George
w. Beavers, the former head Of the SAL
aries and allowances division, who Is
now under indictment.
The investigators classify former Post
master General Smith, former Postmaster
Willett, of Washington, Postmaster
Merritt, of Washington. Comptroller r.
]. Tracewell and Auditor Castle as shar-
ing in some measure their responsible
tiles. OF Mr.. Smith the report says that
he seems to have shared in the RESPONSE
bility through his seeming failure, not
withstanqing repeated warning, to ap-
preciate the gravity of the misconduct
Of his subordinates and the consequent
necessity for their prompt and adequate
punishment"
The report also condemns congress
men for interfering and raising rentals
in post Office leases, though no names are
mentioned.

VISITS THE CAR.
William j. Bryan Holds a Brief but
Interesting Interview with
Russian Itulcr.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 22-William
Jennings Bryan was received in audi
ence by Car Nicholas at noon Mon
day. The audience, which lasted for
is minutes, was arranged almost on
the spur of the moment by Ambassa-
dor Mccormick, who until Sunday was
uncertain as to the time of Mr.. Bry-
ans arrival at st. Petersburg. During
the conversation with Mr.. Bryan, his
majesty expressed in the most emphatic
manner the feeling OF friendship en-
tertained by him and by the Russian
nation for the United States and the
hope that the good relations which
have always existed between the two
countries would never be disturbed
He gave evidence of the deepest inter-
est and acquaintance with affairs In
the United States. In response to Mr..
Bryan's inquiry concerning the pro-
eress of public instruction in Russia,
his majesty gave minute description
of the system of education In the Rus
sian empire, showing an intimate
knowledge of educational methods and
the statistics relating thereto.

STRIKERS ASK FOR HELP.
Chicago Livery Drivers Want Cab
men tO Go Out In Sympathy, Thus
Tying Up Carriage Service.

Chicago Dec. 22.-Licensed hackmen
may be called out on a sympathetic
strike by the livery stable men and
hearse drivers, thus completely tying up
carriage service in Chicago.
The strikers are alarmed at the pub
lie resentment shown because of the
int rference with funerals and hope to
force Il settlement by getting the hack
men as allies. Many Of the hackmen
employed in livery stables are now out,
The Livery Drivers union paying them
strike benefits.
1t is still impossible for rich and poor
alike to secure a hearse for the burial
of the dead, owing to fear that it will
be wrecked by teamsters and strikers on
the way back from the graveyard.
Chief O'Neill has issued orders 10 the
police to allow no overt acts by pickets,
and to drive them away from the vicin-
ity Of homes where funerals are taking
place. He has not been asked TO allow
policemen to man the hearses.
Forty-seven new burial permits were
issued Monday morning. and until the
deadlock is broken between strikers and
their employers the burials will be
robbed Of all funeral pomp and the
usual procession of mourners in car
riages.

ARREST IN BIG FRAUD.
Powerful Land Speculntor Held ON
Charge of bribery Vast
Tracts Involved.

Washington, Dec. 19.-John A. Ben
son, wealthy real estate operator of
the firm of Benson & Hyde, was arrested
here Friday night, charged with bribery.
He will be held to the grand jury and
then evidence duplicating him in extern
sive land frauds will be produced. Ben
sons arrest is Secretary Hitchcock's first
step in his campaign against perpe-
traitors OF land frauds. Many more ar
rests will follow at once. A number of
interior department employees are in
volved, and will either be arrested or
dismissed. Benson has been under in
vestigation by secret service agents for
more than year. 1t is asserted he has
detrauded the government out of at
least 100000 acres Of land by various
schemes since the passage of the forest
reserve actinlSS7. Thatactprovides that
the owner of land which is wanted by
the government for forest reserve shall
be allowed to select in place of it other
public land.
1t is alleged Benson obtained advance
information as to the land that would be
wanted by the government for forest
reserves, and that by means of fraudu-
lent entries or by purchase immense
tracts of such lands were obtained and
afterward exchanged for valuable pub
lie lands. The information alleges that
frauds were perpetrated as to lands in
Washington, Oregon, California, Mon
tana, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming,
Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Arizona

try in the Behring sea arbitration mat
ter, was delegate 10 the international

Father smt,h's GOOD Story.

Here is an amusing incident in the
life Of Canon Smith, of England, the
well-known collector of moths and
butterflies, and Oxford movement
convert" who died recently, says IN.
y. Pr
Soon after his secession from the
Anglican Church, Father Smith was
sent by Cardinal Wiseman on a sort of
embassy to Newman, who was consid-
cred to be very near the threshold of
The ancient Church. In due time,
Father Smith repaired to the arch
bishops house, and being admitted to
The cardinals presence Wiseman in
luired after Newman and his religious
evolution.
Father Smith replied: "Your en-
incnce, think he will very soon come
over. but you will laugh at my reason
when tell YOU. think that he will
become a Catholic because he has
taken to wearing check breeches!
Wiseman laughed his big, burly
laugh, and asked for eNplana tons.
Father Smith replied: "You see,
Your eminence, 1 know these high
churchmen we'll, and they are most
particular as to their clerical dress so
long as they have no doubts as to the
validity of their orders. But when
they once grow shaky on that point,
they are no longer so keen on the frock
coat and black etcetcms."
Canon Smiths sartorial prophecy,
which would have delighted CARLYLE,
proved absolutcly--and rapidly-cor-

NEW CUBAN TARIFF.
nation Putting Reciprocity in
Effect December 20.

Washington, Dec. 21.-President
Roosevelt has issued proclamation put
ting the Cuban reciprocity treaty into
effect December ~.
Washington, Dec. l7.-By the decisive
vote of 81 to Is the senate Wednesday
passed the bill carrying into effect the
reciprocity treaty with Cuba. The final
vote came at the close of day which
was marked by debate which, while at
times animated, was never acrimonious.
The principal speeches were made by
Senator Spooner, for the bill, and by
Senator Bailey, against it.
The bill passed carries into execution
the treaty between the United States
and Cuba which was ratified last March.
The treaty provides for reduction of 20
per cent. from the rates of duty under
the Dingley law on all Cuban articles
imported into the United States, and
varying reduction of from 20 to 40 per
cent from the established Cuban duty
on articles imported into Cuba from the
United States.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-The president
signed the Cuban reciprocity bill few
minutes before one o'clock Thursday
afternoon. Now that the bill has be-
come law question of great interest
has arisen, namely the effect of the re-
auction of the duty on Cuban sugar
upon importations of sugar from other
countries. The British government has
served formal notice upon the state de-
partment that under the favored nation
clause it expects that British sugar from
the British West Indies shall be admit
ID into the United States on equal
erns with Cuban sugar, and it is not
doubted that Germany, France, Austria
I'd the other great beet sugar producing
Countries will do likewise. An old hold
