lands in western Nebraska, today, made

NO TRUTH IN IT.
Russia Has Net Sent Fleet of War
ships to Take Ports in Corea.

st. Petersburg. Dec. 10-The dispatch
from Toxic, yesterday, announcing that a
Russian squadron of eight ships had ar
rived off Chemulpo, Corea. to support
Russia's opposition to the proposed open
ing of Yongampho on the Yalu river to
the commerce of the world. and that the
Russians threatened to land 5000 men and
march on Seoul should Corea disregard
the warning, is utterly dscredited here.
The foreign office has no confirmation of
the report and is inclined to class it with
other sensational rumors from the Far
East which later have proved to be base
less
In the first place it is denied that NJ
Pavloff. the Russian minister at Seoul,
has served a warning on Corea. Accord
ing to the latest information received here
he asked whether and upon what condi-
tons fongampho would be opened, and
Corea returned an evasive reply. Then it
is not likely that Admiral Alex.eff, the
Russian viceroy of the Far East, notwith-
standing the great powers with which he
is clothed. would take such a serious step
without consulting with the St. Peters
burg authorities. The report is equally
discredited in diplomatic circles, where It
is pointed out that such a move at this
stage. by irflaming Japanese sentiment.
might force what both powers are anx-
ious to avoid.
No word has yet been received from
Baron De RCSen the Russian minister to
Japan. or Admiral Alexieff. who are ex-
changing views on the notifications but.

THE CARS APPROVAL
Said to Have Been Given Plan Of
Settlement with Japan.

Paris, Dec. 10-Definite information
has been received here to the effect
that the Car has signed his approval
of the general conditions preliminary
to a Russo-JapaneSe agreement.
Further information received shows
them to be ON the same general line Of
the peace negotiations as outlined in
the dispatch of The Associated Press.
1t now developes that the overtures
were formulated after the conferences
between Admiral AleXieff, the Russian
viceroy in the Far East. and the Japa-
nese authorities, the results being en-
trusted to Admiral AleXieff to forward
to St Petersburg. The Cars APPROX
al of these will be communicated to
Japan. when it is expected the nego-
tiations will proceed toward conc!u-
sion.
The pessimistic reports from Toxic,
are believed by the officials here to
reflect the feeling aroused over the de-
lays preceding the Cars approval of
the general conditions for Russo
japanese agreement These delays
were unavoidable incidents of the
Czarina's serious illness. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed that Japan's early re-
ceipts of official information regarding
Russias pacific course will result in a
similar Improvement in the japanese
aspect.

A LITTLE BIT TARDY.
CoIombia's Scheme to Secure Big
Money Will Not Work.

Washington, Dec 1O.-The state de-
partment has received from Mr.. Beau
pre- under date Of Oct. is, the text Of
the report of the committee of the
Colombian Senate on the project of
law to confirm the disapproval of the
canal treaty by the Senate and to au-
thorize the President to mako a new
treaty. The report takes the ground
that the rejection of the treaty needs
nc approval, being a completed act,
ard that in any case the treaty expired
by limitation of time, Sept. %. 1t also
disapproves, and recommends the in
definite postponement of the PROPOSE
ton to authorize the President to make
new treaty.
The motive of this action, though not
positively asserted, is regarded by the
state department as evidently the pur-
pose entertained at Bogota, to prolong,
under dilatory eXpedients, the whole
question until next year. then to declare
the French concession forfeited and to
demand of the United States the $40.-
000,0 600 provided in the Spooner act, un-
less in the meantime they should be
able to obtain from the Panama Co. a
satisfactory sum in return for q per-
mission granted to them to sell to the
United States.

PACIFIC in TENOR
Are All the Latest cabIeerams Re-
ceived from Colombia.

Washington, Dec. 1O.-Cablegrams
today. by Gen. Rafael Reyes, the Co
!omblan minister, and by Dr. Herran'
the Colombian secretary of legation,
are pacific in tenor and the officials of
the Colombian legation are inclined to
believe that the Colombian people are
obeying the final instructions of Gen.
Reyes.
Secretary Hays illness has prevent
ed conference between the secretary
and the Colombian minister, but upon
MI. Hays return to the state depart
ment Gen. Reyes expects to see him
and the chances are that the generals
mission will be concluded very soon
thereafter. Gen. Reyes has cabled the
Bogota government the true situation
here. He has not attempted to con-
ceal the fact that there is no hope OF
prevailing on the United States to re-
trace it's steps on the isthmus. The
only possible result Gen. Reyes could
bring about here, as he has officially
informed the Bogota government.
would be the securing of satisfactory
peace terms with the new republic.
Pan American diplomats say that
with the departure of Gen. Reyes from
Washington they expect the Colombian
legation to remain closed for an in
definite period.

THE sMooT CASE.
Are Mormon Vows at Variance with
United States Allegiance?

Washington, Dec. 1o.-Congressional
callers at the White House are manifest
ing increasing interest in the case invov-
ing the seat of Senator Smoot of Utah.
and the indications now are that the con-
test will rival in Importance and in earn
estness the case of Brigham H. Roberts
before the House of Representatives a
few years ago. While the President is
familiar with all the developments in the
Slnoot case. no effort is being made by
either side to draw him into the contro

That thorough investigation of the
subject will be made by the Senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections now APP

are pressing the investigation it is said
it will be more comprehensive and
searching than any similar inquiry ever
held An effort will be made to ascertain
whether or not q member of the Mormon
church is bound by any pledge or oath
that is incompatible with his oath as a
senator of the nited States.

A STATEMENT
Regarding Call for Relief from Town
Of Butler, Pa.

Butler, Pa, Dec. 10.-The Associated
Press is requested to use the following
statement issued by the general relief
committee to correct any misunder-
standing regarding the appeal to the
American public sent out, last night,
over the signature Of Burgess Kenne-
dy:
"On Wednesday, December Q, Bur-
CESS Kennedy drafted letter for pub
lication. which through source of
circumstances failed to be presented to
the general relief committee for their
action. After a consultation with
Mayor Kennedy, the committee were
informed that there was no desire or
intention on the part Of the mayor to
have the article receive such undue
notoriety or premature unauthorized
publication. 1t is the sense OF tie re-
lief committee in executive session that
had the original letter been submitted
to them and certificate copy thereof
dealing with the situation, a much less
alarming statement, if any at ell, would
have been made at this time.
Should such a call be necessary, it
will be made by the proper officials of
the relief committee elected by the cit
liens of the town at their mass meet
ing, Sunday, Nov. 20. In the meantime,
as hitherto, any voluntary contribu-
ton sent to Thomas j, Shuf1iin, treas
urer of the relief fund, will be CRATE
fully received and promptly acknowl-
edged"

Sbarroro, president of the Manufac-

State Hay acknowledging the receipt

the United States in Manchuria.
In his letter Secretary Hay says:
'"The subject to which you refer is
one of the greatest Importance and has
occupied the close attention of Presi-
dent Mckinley and of President Roose--
welt for several years. The object
which you propose is one to which this
government has steadily adhered and
has pursued through circumstances of
peculiar difficulty and embarrassment.
I can only assure you and authorize
you to assure your associates that the
President will not lose sight of the i'm
portant interests to which he has al
ready devoted so much time"

tary Root to Chairman o. H. Platt of
the Senate committee on relations with
Cuba. The secretary calls attention to
the itemized accounts of receipts and
expenditures Of the military govern
ment of Cuba which were submitted to
Congress sand which Congress failed to
have printed. In requesting that a
concurrent resolution be passed for this
purpose, Secretary Root says:
II beg that you will secure the re-
passing of this resolution by the
Senate. In my letters to you last Jam
uary, I urged the printing of these ac-
counts upon the ground that this was
the only way to meet the charges which
We're sure to be made, that the military
government of Cuba had not properly
accounted for the revenues of the is
land. Since that ime my anticipation
has been justified by false statements
of this description to which wide cur
rency has been given"

CRISIS AT TOXIC.
Lower House Bitterly Denoun-
ces Course of Cabinet.
Public Dissatisfaction With Plan Being
Pursued With Russia.
And Still Russia Keeps Her 100000
Men in Manchuria.

Toxic, Japan, Dec. 10-The Emperor
opened the Diet, this morning. In re-
ferring to the situation with regard to
Russia he only said that his ministers
are now conducting with prudence and
circumspection important international
negotiations for the preservation of
peace in the Far East and of Japan's
rights and interests.
The House of Representatives adopt
ed without division a reply to the speech
from the throne, accusing the ministry
of following a temporiZing policy at
home and neglecting it's opportunities
abroad. This was regarded as doubly
significant, because hitherto the re-
ply has only formally expressed thanks
for the imperial condescension in per-
sonally opening the Diet.
1t is not possible at present to fore
tell the effect of the action taken by
the House.
The brevity of allusion by the En-
peror to the crisis in the Far East
caused much disappointment. Soon
after the speech from the throne was
delivered in the upper House, the
House of Representatives met for the
purpose of considering a reply. The
reply was almost Immediately formu-
lated and was rushed through the
House with unusual expedition. 1t
says:
THE Empire of Japan is now at it's
zenith. Its position is one unparallei-
ed in the last thousand years. The
members of the House of Representa-
tives profoundly regret that, at juno
ture so critical involving the faith of
the nation the course pursued by the
cabinet is ill-adapted to the needs of
the situation and inconsistent with the
enhancement of our national influence.
The policy of the ministry has been
shown to be incompatible with the
progress of the empire and to be purely
domestic and temporizing.
THE diplomacy of the cabinet is a
failure and we humbly appeal to Your
Majesty to review the situation.
Our solicitude for the progress of
the empire dictates the reply, which
represents the aspirations and expecta-
tons of the nation
1t is understood that the reply was
adopted at the instance of the President
of the lower House and was a complete
surprise to the government and its
supporters, who had not time to OPP
pose the adoption of the reply which
was approved amid d scene of great
enthusiasm. The members of the gov
eminent parties in the House have
vainly tried to persuade the President
to reconsider the reply to the Emperor
address.
After the adoption of the reply an
Interpolation was introduced in the
House of Representatives declaring
that the delay in the settlement of the
negotiations with Russia concerning
the Far East was a source of regret
to the nation and an element of dam
ger to it's peace and demanding a state
ment of the progress of the negotia-
tions.
The situation is regarded as extreme
ly critical and is likely to involve the
propagation, if not the dissolution Of
the Parliament.

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS.
United States VIII See What Attention
the Davis Matter May Require.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Unless the
state department receives further adj
vices from Consul Davis, who had
some trouble with the police of Alex
andretta, Asiatic Turkey, which would
place tine matter in a more serious
light, it is not the intention of the
navy department to send a vessel to
that port. The movement Of the Medi-
terranean fleet toward the West In
dies is to be deferred for brief period.
This is interpreted here to mean that
while the present understanding is not
to have one of the ships go to Alex
andretta, it has been deemed advisable
to keep the squadron in eastern Medi-
terranean waters a short time longer
for any emergency that may arise
growing out of the Davis affair.
