the crown jewels of the late Queen

CRISIS Is NOT ANTICIPATED

Physically Impossible for Russia to Keep
Her Evacuation Promise.
From the japanese embassy in Lon
don the Associated Press has secured
the following statement of the pre-
vailing conditions: I'VE are forced to
believe that it is physically impOSsi-
BILE for Russia to fulfill her promise
to evacuate Manchuria by Oct s, but
we do not anticipate crisis on that
account. 1t would be a case of making
the lesser include the greater were we
to break off the negotiations now in
progress at Toxic because of Russias
failure to keep her promise on the eX-
act date. So far as is known here
ne naval or military preparations have
been undertaken by Japan to meet any
expected emergency.
obviously we have made no repre-
sentatiOn to Russia regarding the
evacuation of Mandhuria, because
these would be distinctly out of order
until Russia has actually broken her
promise We have hopes that fiuaI
settlement may be reached between
Russia and ourselves that will settle
once for all our outstanding disputes
The negotiations for a treaty for that
end have now been transferred to
Toxic. where the Russian minister,
who is said to be a pacific and broad
minded diplomat, is carrying on affairs
with our foreign minister.
How long it VII be before an I'M
Outstanding can be reached it is impos-
sibIe to say. In spite of the naturally
irritated feelings of our people we
frankly recognize the gravity to Russia
of these questions. and we have no

wish to demand a perenptOry settle
ment. Still. we cannot go on forever,
and though we realize that it is scarce
ly likely that the treaty can be signed
by Oct. 8 we have clearly indicated
that after that date haste becomes
more and more essential.
From JapaIfAs view of point the
cruX of the whole situation is Corea.
Russia knows that we will fight to
the death rather than let any foreign
power occupy Corea. Russia's timber
concessions there and the other recent
initiative she has exhibited in Corea
render the present negotiations eX-
tremeIy difficult, but the horizon shows
no cloud so dark as TO threaten war.
Great Pritain as our ally is naturally
cognizant of the trend of our present
negotiations, all of which look towards
peace"

Did Not Act Properly in Bond investments

Concerning the Indictment against
Tyner and Barrett, the following state
ment was made by the postoffice de-
partment: Three indictments charge
Tyner and Barrett with conspiracy,
and two additional indictments charge
Barrett with agreeing, while still in
office. to receive fees for services rem

dictments are founded upon the treat

of Tyner and Barrett-assistant attor-
ney general and assistant attorney for
the pOstOffice department-tO investi-
gate the methods of concerns charged
with improper use of the mails, and in
case of guilt to report to the post
master general and recommend the is
sue of a fraud order; that in this con-
nection they investigated the business
of the bond investment companies and
learned that they were all carrying ON
a business that involved fraud or lot
terry or both; but that instead of rec
omending to the postmaster general
the issue of an order that would pre-
vent the delivery of mail or the pay

Germs, and would thus break up their
business, Tyner and Barrett conspired

Evacuation of ManChuria
by Russia ImpOs-
sibIe.
DATE is AT HAND
No Trouble Anticipated
Over Existing
Conditions.

london, Oct. 6.-No apprehension ex-
lists in the mind of the British gov
ernment or the diplomatists in Lon
con that the far eastern situation will
bring forth any immediate serious de-
velOpments. This feeling of temporary
security on the eve of the day that
Russia should, but admittedly will not,
eVacuate M.nchuria is due to aSSur
ancels on the pat of Japan that so
long as the negotiations now proceed
ing between herself and Russia present
a reasonable prospect that a settle
ment will be reached Japan will take
no action hostile 10 Russia in the mat
ter of Manchuria.
Japan Would Strain a Point.
1t is further learned that these nego-
tiatiOnS looking to q final settlement
of the RuSSo-Japanese spheres of infiu-
ence in the far east. and especially
dealing with the situation in Corea.
are progressing satisfactorily at Toxic.
No treaty. however. has yet been
signed. and it is unlikely that the negO-
tiationS will be concluded by Oct. 8,
the date on which Russia was tOevacu-
ate Manchuria. Russia'S failure to
evacuate Manchuria on that day, how
ever, will not precipitate diplomatic
crisis. as Japan. rather than break off
the negotiations covering broadly all
the issues between herself and Russia,
is willing to strain a point regarding
Manchuria in the hope of arriving at a
satisfactorily settlement.
Popular Agitation Is the Peril.
In all of this the British govern
ment acquiesces. Such elements Of i'm
mediate danger as the far eastern sit
uatiOn presents appears to be confined
solely against Russian agitation in
Japan against Russia after Oct 8.
This, however, is being taken into con-
sideration by the Japanese govern
ment. whose diplomats have warned
Russia that while the japanese gov
ernment will not allow its hand to be
forced to the extent of entering into
hostilities over the Manchurian evacua-
ton it cannot indefinitely prolOng the
present negotiations at Toxic in face
of the expected popular clamOr.
