st. petersburg, NOV. 20. "A seliI-
official Russian agency has received
from Toxic a report to the effect that
Japanese warships have been dis
patched to prevent the Russian war
vessels Tsarevitch and Baian reaching
Port Arthur to join the Russian squad
ron there.
Has an Alarming Aspect.
London, Nov. 24.-The alarming re
port from Toxic that Japanese war
vessels have been dispatched to pre-
vent two Russian warships reaching
Port Arthur to join the squadron there
cannot be confirmed here.
1t is possible that this report is con-
nected with the statement of the Jap
anese Journal, the Nagasaki Shimpo,
yesterday that a Japanese squadron of
twelve vessels had left Jasebo for an
unknown destination.
The fact that such a statement
should be issued by a Russian semi-of-
fetal agency is, however, regarded as
significant. C%uriously enough the
Russian newspaper Svet a few days
ago expressed the belief that COM
munications between Port Arthur and
Japan had been already interrupted.
In Cardiff yesterday renewed activ-
ity was reported On the part of Rus
sian and Japanese agents with a view
to securing further shipments of coal.
Japan's Reply Expected.
The Toxic correspondent OF the
Daily Mail, cabling under yesterdays
date, says:
1T is reported that Baron de Rosen,
Russian minister to Japan, received
yesterday an urgent telegram of over
300 words from the foreign office at st.
Petersburg, and that Immediately
thereafter the minister's secretary was
dispatched to the Japanese foreign
minister. 1t is believed that a confer
ance will be held to-day, when Japan's
reply will be given"
Korea Strongly Objects.
The Daily Nails Toxic correspond
ent says that the Russian minister at
Seoul has addressed another note TO
the Korean government declaring that
if Korea should ignore all warnings
and persist in opening Yongampho to
foreign trade, Russia will take active
steps to deal with the situation. The
Korean government has replied,
strongly objecting to Russia's inter
ference as a violation of Korea's SOW
ereign rights. A communication to the
same effect, according to the CORES
pendent, was sent to the Japanese
minister at Seoul.
The questions arising from the af-
fray between Japanese and Russians
at Chemulpo have not yet been settled,
adds the correspondent.

long, including MS tall, WHICH
takes up rather more than
half of the total length. The
greater part of his plumage
is glossy black, with bronzy
metallic reflections, but the
lower breast and belly are
white, and. the scapulars,
being also white, form two
conspicuous patches on the
wings. Long streaks Of
white on the inner veins of
the primary feathers show
most conspicuously when the
bird is in flight. Altogether
he is one of the most striking
birds to be seen in North
America. That he has not
been exterminated, is no
doubt due largely to his in
telligence, for, like his rela-
tives, the crow and the jay,
he is bold enough to take adj
vantage of everything which
is useful without being. dan
gerous, but crafty enough, as
a rule, to keep out of trouble.
Another point in his favor is
that he can eat almost any
thing, and, all things being
equal, the animal which can
eat the greatest variety Of
food will survive the longest.
In the winter he will eat
literally anything, including
carrion, and whatever he
can steal from his neighbors.
