Herself Capable Of Dealing
With Russia.
THE PUBLIC is ,RRIrATGO
Popular Feeling is infamed at Russia's
Stubborn Actions, Although States

Army in Readiness.

Yokohama, Oct. 8.--With the APP
proach of October 8, the nominal date
tor Russia's evacuation of Manchuria
great tension is observed among the
Japanese populace, but in diploma tic
circles it is reaffirmed that hopefulness
prevails of an amicable settlement of
the imbroglio between Russia and
Japan on the basis of minor conces-
sions by Russia in Korea and Man
churia, though officials do not profess
to expect that the evacuation Of Man
churia will be effected on the exact
date named.
Baron Won Rosen, the Russian min
lister to Japan, has returned here from
a conference with Viceroy Alexieff at
Port Arthur and had a short confer
ence with Baron komura, h Japan
csc foreign minister, on October 3.
Baron komura has since given out q
hopeful interview. but the Japanese
ministers for war and navy thereafter
had long conferences with h emper-
or, Marquis Ito. president of the privy
council, and Viscount katsu, the pre-
mier, indicating hat preparations are
going on to meet any eventuality. The
fleet and the army are both without
question in readiness. and large sup
pies for both the army n navy have
been accumulated. The arsenals have
been quietly at work for a long time
past, and the licenses have been
infinitely inspected.
Public irritated.
Popular feeling in Japan is exasper.
ated at Russia's dilatory tactics, and
the excitement has been aggravated
by the sensational press. which is con-
stantly circulating rumors of fresh Rus
sian aggressions. Many Of these are of
the most circumstantial character, and
are calculated to infiame public Opin-
ion. The officials deprecate these re-
ports, which it is believed in some quar-
ters emanate from Russian sources.
with the object of forcing Japan's
hand.
The japanese statesmen remain calm.
Japan apparently considers herself
capable of dealing with Russia single
handed. 1t is true that England is sup
porting Japan strongly at Pekin and
Seoul, Corea, but 1t Is thought here that
England and France desire peace at
any price. Germany is ostensibly neu-
trail. The United States is chiefly o m
cerned In her commercial treaty with
China, to be signed October 3, but the
Japanese press claims that America is
ready to yield Japan her strong moral
support against any unfair encroach-
ment

lieved that the Japanese officials will
be able to control the lingo element
and maintain the present peaceful de-
fensive attitude unless some new and
unforeseen event precipitates fresh is

THE DAM MAY BREAK.
Clear Lake Higher Than II Has Been
Before, and Still Risinu.

Mason CITY. Ia, Oct. 9.-Every pre-
caution is being taken to prevent a
breaking away of Clear lake. The Wa
Ter Is now higher than it has ever been
before and it is still rising. The old
Willow creek channel which in an
EARLY day furnished AN outlet for the
lake, has been filled in and now pre-
cautions are being taken to prevent 1t
breaking away. Billions of gallons of
water are back of 1t and should the
levee break away it would be disa strous
to Il large section of farm land between
this city n Clear lake. There are
many residences of this city which
would be washed away should Il break
age at Clear Lake occur, and that is
the reason at this time so much care
is being taken in preventing such q
calamity.
