MORE PACIFIC OUTLOOK.
Report That Russia VIII Glve in te
 Japan.

Japan. '
 Berlin, Dec. 24-An intimation has reached the Japanese legation here that Russia will concede JaDan's requests Inquiries made by the Associated Press as to the particulars of this intimation, whether it came from Tokio or St. Pet ersburg, brought out nothing more than a peaceful solution is now highly prob able.
 The British government, it is under stood from another source, has repre- scented to the czar that Great Britain deems Japan's demands just, and earn estIy expects that Russia will grant them. This representation is support cd by the utterances of the British am- bassadors here and in Paris and Vienna, who have informed the respective gov ernments to which they are accredited that Japan, in the opinion of the Brit ish government, will fight if Russia holds to the position taken in her re- cent note. -.
 The Russian ambassador here has for several days been inquiring freely what the opinions of the members of the dip- lomatic corps are.
 Tokio, Japan, Dec. 24.--Premier Kat sura and War Minister Terauchi visited the Marquis Ito, president of the privy council, and the Marquis Yamagata, chief of the council of field marshals, at their villas this morning. two hours distance by rail from Tokio. The meet ings are believed to have been announc- ed with important developments in the Russian-Japanese situation. The min- isters returned to Tokio this evening.
 The Japanese press is urging the im- mediate dispatch Of troops to Korea, where it is asserted Japanese interests are menaced by Russian intrigues at Seoul The impression is growing in the best informed circles that the adoption of such policy is now inevitable.
 St. Petersburg, Dec. 24-The hopeful ness in official circles of a pacific settle ment of the Russo-Japanese dispute was reflected this morning on the Bourse, which largely recovered from the nervousness which has prevailed for several days.
 The Russian newspapers are display ing the liveliest irritation at the British press, whose anti Russian attitude in the present Russo-Japanese dispute has aroused even greater public animosity against Great Britain than exists against Japan.

CONTRACT LABOR IN PRISON.
Committee Submits Report to Michi.
gan Legislature condemning
Practice.

Lansing, Mich, March 12.-Contract
labor in state prisons is strongly con-
demned in report submitted to the
lower house of the state legislature
by the committee on the Jackson state
prison. The report goes to show that
prisoners are hired out to contractors
for from IS to rs cents a day, whose
work would call for from 81 a week
up to 81 day at union rates of wages.
The committee expresses the opinion
that the contract system enriches the
contractors at the expense of the state
and says further in its report:
I'VE cannot understand why an in.
stitution of this kind, employing 500
to 900 men every day, cannot be self
sustaining. We are informed that the
demand from some contractors for
articles manufactured is so great that
the prison is unable to fill some of
it's contracts

EPIDEMIC
OF Strange Disease Kills 344 Hogs
for a Parkersbury Stock Man.

PARKERsBURG, March 12-During
the past two weeks 344 valuable
hogs owned by William 0. B. Wells,
of Sand Plains, have died of a
strange epidemic. The loss amounts
to more than $500 and Mr.. Wells
fears that the end is not yet, as he
still has forty hogs. The epidemic
has puzzled all of the persons who
have made an investigation, and if
any more of the hogs die Secretary
j. 0. Thompson, of Charleston, Of
the state board of agriculture, will
be notified and will be petiitoned for
assistance.
The hogs that have died were ap-
parently in the best of health on the
day preceding their death. From
two to three were regularly found
dead when the drove would be visit
ed in the morning, however Among
the hogs that were lost were two
valuable brood sows.
Mr.. Wells has separ4od al of
the hogs and the epidemic whatever
it Is, cannot now spread A large
number OF stock raisers have been
to see the hogs, but all have been
puzzled as no signs of sickness
could be seen. Stops with which
the hogs have been fed have been
secured from various places in this
city, but it is not believed that the
swine were poisoned.

AS the Time When Vote Will
Be Taken on Measure
and Amendment.
PROGRESS ON CANAL TREATY.
Agreement Has No Bearing on Cuban
Compact, but May Open Way for
Early Consideration Guatemalan
and Mexican Treaties Ratified.

Washington, March 12.-Deeided
progress was made toward reaching
an agreement for vote on the Colon
bian canal treaty, and when the SEN
ate adjourned there was a general I'M
derstanding that some hour next
Tuesday would be definitely agreed
on as the time when vote should be
taken on the treaty and all amend
ments. All statements to this effect
have been accompanied by the an
nouncement that there were yet some
details to be arranged.
The arrangements were brought
about largely by Senator Frye, who,
by virtue of long service with Sena-
tor Morgan on the committee on for
eign relations, has come to be on
terms of great intimacy with the Ala
bama senator. No other senator thus
far has shown any inclination to de-
lay the final disposition of the treaty,
so that all that was necessary was to
secure Mr.. Morgan's assent to tha
taking of the vote. The negotiation
was begun early in the day, and after
Senators Frye and Morgan had been
closeted for some time the latter
sought Senator German and talked
over the situation with him, with the
result indicated
Democratic senators have practi-
cally agreed unanimously to urge an
amendment to the twenty-third article
OF the treaty, relieving it of all ques-
ton as to the right of the United
States to control the canal, and they
express confidence in obtaining some
Republican votes for it. Many sena
tors also express the conviction that
the change in the treaty committing
the United States to a policy of non,
acquisition of Central American ter
ritory should be eliminated as entirely
out of place. The indications are,
however that the treaty will be rati-
fed without modification in any par.
ticular.
The agreement made has no refer.
ence to the Cuban treaty, but opens
the way for it's early consideration
in the senate
Senator Morgan continued his re-
marks in the senate in opposition to
the canal treaty, but most of the time
was given up to the reading of docu-
ments by the clerk at Mr.. Morgan's
request. The few remarks made by
him related to the unsanitary condi
lions in the vicinity of the Panama
route and to the division of the money
to be paid to Colombia by the United
States.
The Guatemalan and Mexican ex-
tradition treaties were ratified.
The understanding among the mem.
bers OF the committee on foreign re-
lations is that none of the reciprocity
treaties before the committee shall
be reported for consideration this SEES
sion and that the Cuban treaty will
be the last to receive the attention of
the committee at present.

BITUMIAOUS MINERS CONVENE.
Session Taken Up With the Discus
sion of ResoIutions-co-ope
Stores to Be Established.

Altoona, Pa, March 12.-The morn
ing session of the bituminous miners
convention was occupied in the dis
cussion of resolutions. Mr.. Rice pro-
posed to abolish the examination of
mine foremen, the certificates, he said
being more of a protection to the op-
orator than to the miner. Several
speakers advocated the passage by
the state legislature of the employees
liability act.
The following resolutions were
adopted: That miners shall be in
formed each evening whether or not
there will be work next day; that no
limit be placed on mine cars; petit
tons the state legislature to enact
law similar to the law now in force
in the anthracite region, which pro-
vides that mine inspectors be elected
by a popular vote.
It was decided not to admit boys
under 16 to the union rooms, as they
have been known to give away the
pass word. The recommendation of
the secretary-treasurer to establish
cooperative stores was adopted.

Advocates Trade Combination

Paris, March 12.-Speaking at a
meeting of the association of French
Industry and Agriculture, former Pre-
mier Meline said he thought there
were some indications OF a termina-
ton of the long European industrial
crisis, which had been due to over
production, the fall in the price of
silver, the American trusts, the Ger
man cartels and other causes. He de-
clared that If the American trusts
continued their operations the Eu.
ropean nations would be compelled to
take defensive measures against them,
and he advocated as a remedy the for
nation of small trade combinations
like those which served to unite Ger
man industry and the permanent es-
Establishment of French business abroad
on German lines.

Details.
A local syndicate OF which j. w.
Wiles claims to be the head has
purchased the Wallace House. The
deal has been on foot for some weeks
and it has been practically agreed
upon for several days but only very
recently has the deal been finally
consummated. Mr.. Wiles was seen
by this paper and asked about it.
He stated that the sale was com
pleted and that every thing had
been done except to make the formal
transfer. Some of the money had
beed paid over and the lest was
ready as soon as all of the papers
were signed.
The price paid for the property
was $4,000. The lot on which the
house is located fronts AT feet on
High street and something over SO
feet on Spruce. The front of the
lot contains the Wallace House and
on the rear part of Guy Hayes
livery is to be found.
1t is the intention to remodel the
hotel by placing another story on it.
There are other improvements to be
made. Mr.. Lantz will be retained
as manager of the hotel according
to the plans of Mr.. Wiles and his
associates.
They have no plans for the rear
of the lot yet but state that If new
block is built on any part of the lot
it will go on the Spruce street end.
The livery stable in that event
would have to come out.
The names OF those who are inter
ested in the deal would not be given
out by Mr. Wiles but he stated that
he was the head of the crowd and
that the rest did not wish their
names to be mentioned in connection
with it.

PIttsburg & Lake Erie, which was to
have been in operation this month,
will not likely be ready for service be-
fore June l. The original plans for
this work called for its completion by
March /, but on account of unavoida-
BILE delays in grading near Redstone
Junction the road will not he ia shape
for operation for at least two months.
Officials of the company made an in
spection trip over the line last week,
and it was announced at the general
offices in Pittsburg Saturday that 40
date can be set for the opening of the
road. Weather conditions and num-
erous landsldes have tended to retard
