Russian and Japan to War.

Pekin, July 22.-According to diplo-
mats here the greatest factor in the
eastern situation is the increasing
danger of war between Russia and
Japan, They believe it is becoming
plain that Russia is willing to fight
Japan IL convinced that no other pow
ers will assist her. The Russians are
confident OF their ability to easily de-
feat Japan, and are said to be anxious
to settle definitely her position to OPP
pose Russia's progress in Manchuria.
The belief is attributed to the Jap
anese that the Russian policy is to
attempt to placate Great Britain and
America and provoke Japan into be-
ginning hostilities, They regard Rus
sia's consent to open ports in Man
churia, the cars promised visit to
England and the occupation of the
Korean border as parts Of that policy.
Russia's activity on the Yafu river is
more Irritating to Japan than the re-
tention Of Manchuria and all japanese
officials in China speak Of war as
probability"

J. }. HILL RETURNS HOME.
Says Northwest Need Not Worry
About Eastern Market.

About Eastern Market.
ST. Paul. Minn.-President James J..
Hin has returned TO ST. Paul after a
five weeks outing in eastern waters.
Mr.. hin said in reply TO a question:
The eastern market, as everybody
knows. is in a disturbed state. The
railroads Of that section within a short
time expended vast sums Of money in
Improvements. Industrials have been
thrown upon the market in enormous
quantities and the public has stopped
buying. The trouble has been ascribed
TO 'undigested securities but perhaps
We would better call them fndigestible
securities
These are local features and raise
problems having their own peculiar in
terest and importance TO the people Of
the eastern centers. They have not
affected the business Of the country as
whole. which is in good condition.
"out here We are not worried, nor do
We need 10 worry about these move
ments that are the cause OF some
anxiety between eastern people. From
St Paul clear through to the Pacific
coast the people are engaged in pro-
ducing foodstufs, In numbering and
mining, in developing the great natu-
raj resources of the country. There
fore, they are prosperous and I see no
reason to believe that this prosperity
will not continue"
