Japan ORDERS LARGE QUAINT
TIES OF PIG LEAD FROM NEW

RUSSIA IS QUITE DIPLOMATIC

A RECONSIDERATION OF
PROPOSALS.

London, Dec. 27.--The Daily Mails

lister of foreign affairs, to Baron de
Rosen the Russian minister, In re-
spouse to Russia's reply to the claims
of Japan, mad paragraph that only
two weeks would be allowed for an

The correspondent Of the Daily Mail

Quite Diplomatic.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The Rus
sian government IS still considering
the reply OF the Japanese government
to its note which was sent in answer
to Japan's demands relating to the
situation In the Far East.
A reconsideration of the proposals
made in the Russian note Is consid-
cred as a matter OF course here.
Russia has not been disposed to take
any step which would lead to an alb
rupt termination OF the negotiations
with japan.
In answer TO many inquiries made
by the Associated Press, the Russ m
foreign office always insisted that the
Russian proposals were so liberal that
it scarcely would be probable to con-
ceive any further concessions.
While the foreign office is unwilling
to admit that Russia is prepared to
offer more than the concessions out
lined In the last note, II is considered
possible that the government may sug
gest changes by which the Russian re-
quirements may be met and satisfac-
ton. given to Japan.
Jsps Back Their Emperor.
Toxic, Dec. 27.-At a dinner given
by the Oriental association last night
Former Foreign Minister Kato, who
presided. said he deeply regretted
that the people had not been taken
into the confidence of the government
regarding the position OF affairs be
tween Japan and Russia. Neverthe
less, he said, should the emperor de-
clare war, the nation would be found
ready to give him unanimous support.
Count Okuma, the former premier,
said he agreed with the view ex-
pressed by Mr.. Kato, and he thought
that 1t was now high time to let the
people know the actual position occu-
pied by the government. He alsd de-
clared that not only feeling of chiv-
airy, but desire for selfpreservation
required that Japan should buttress
the integrity of China.
Both speakers thought that the sit
uation had reached an extremely crit
lcal stage.
