Special Dispatch to The Call

LONDON, Dec. 18-London regards
war in the Far East as practically in
evitable What form Japan's reply to
the long delayed Russian note has
taken is not known outside Of the For
eign Office, to which it was communi-
Gated yesterday, but it is believed that
while an opening is left for further
negotiations Russian proposals are re-
jected as unacceptable. It is stated
that the first draft of the Japanese
reply was couched in terms ike those
of an ultimatum. but that through
Lord Lansdowne's influence a more
conciliatory tone was adopted Nobody
here believes that either side viii abate
a jot or title of i4 claims and the only
questions now asked are for how long
hostllities can be postponed and which
power will get in the firsI blow. A re-
port was telegraphed from London to
a provincial paper that war had ac-
tually broken out and that the japan
ese Minister was deluged with inquiries.
Viscount Hayassi's tone was Iess Op-
timistic than usual. though he ex-
pressed confidence that negotiations
would be continued.
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 1S.- A
traveller who has just returned from
Manchuria says Russian troops are
still moving night and day toward
Port Arthur.
The opinion here is that the Russo
japanese negotiations win proceed It
is pointed out that there is no reason
8 De-
sia's reply, should break off the nego-
tiations, since the reply is in no sense
an ultimatum, leaving the way open
for counter proposals. 1t is suggested
as an expedient, in case no agreement
can be reached, that an arrangement
might be made to maintain the present
status for a number of years.
BIZERTA, Tunis Dec. 18.-The Rus
sian naval forces now anchored here,
consisting of a battleship, the armOred
cruiser Dmitridonskoi, .the battleship
Oslabya, the cruiser Aurura and five
torpedo boats, commanded by Admiral
Wirenius, will be re-enforced in a few
days by six torpedo boats and proceed
hence to the Far East.
The battleship Emperor Nicholas,
having on board Admiral Mollas, who
commands the Russian naval forces in
the Mediterranean, will arrive at
Piraeus, Greece, December %.
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-A special dis
patch from st. Petersburg says: "Op-
timistic antieipations of a pacific solu-
tion of the Russo-Japanese crisis are
still entertained in the leading Russian
official circles in spite of some dis
quietude on the part Of the public and
alarmist press reports
Russo Japanese war risks at LlOyds
rose about 5 per cent to-day, 20 guineas
per cent being quoted to the end of
January and 25 to the end of February.
Ordinary insurance on a cargo to
Japan rose about 5 per cent, with a fair
amount Of business.
Japanese bonds declined on the Stock
Exchange from q to point, but rallied

OFFICIALS ACCUSE BENSON OF BRIBERY

and in the District. since he came to
this city a few days ago he has con-
tinued his bribery And, what is more,
in another case some years ago, when
he was out on bonds, he left the coun-
try and went TO a foreign country and
remained away for several years.
A heated argument followed this
declaration, counsel for the defense as
serting it was improper. Finally Com
missioner Taylor fixed the bond at $4,000
and Mr.. Benson was released to appear
December 80, when preliminary hear
ing viii take place The accused de-
clines to make any statement further
than to say he would appear when
wanted
Benson is the senior member Of the
real estate firm of Benson & Hyde of
San Francisco and, it is asserted, has
defrauded the Government out Of at
least 1OO, 900 acres of land by various
schemes since the passage of the forest
reserve act of 1897 That act provides
that the owner of land which is wanted
by the Government for a forest reserve
shall be allowed to select in place of it
other public land. 1t is alleged that
Benson obtained advance information
as to the land that would be wanted
by the Government for forest reserves,
and that by means of fraudulent entries
or by purchase immense tracts Of such
lands were obtained and afterward ex-
changed for valuable public lands.
The information alleges that frauds
were perpetrated as to lands in Wash
ington, Oregon, California, Montana,
Idaho. Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO. North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska. Kansas, Minnesota, Arizona
and New Mexico. The investigation
into frauds under the forest reserve act,
it is said, was begun by Secretary
Hitchcock about year ago and has
been pursued steadily since then. Com
missioner Richards Of the General Land
Office said tonight that on assuming
office he reduced WoOdford Harlan from
chief of the civil service division Of the
General Land Office to a clerkship be-
cause he was dissatisfied with his work
and his method of conduc ing his Office.

William Allison, 21 years of age, who
died after ten days illness apparently
from Inflammation of the stomach The
young man had said he had been poi
soned. and to satisfy the family a post
mortem examination was held
The surgeons found a most peculiar
displacement Of the internal organs
The operators found an opening
through the diaphragm and a dnated
stomach, nearly three times normal
size, completely filing the left side OF
the thOracic cavity. taking the place
OF the left lung There was no left
lung. only a small rudfmentary lung
about one inch thick and three inches
square.
Lying under the stomach was found
the ascending and descending colon.
with the appendix attached to it's usual
place on the flower end of the colon,
and also in the thOracic cavity. The
heart was located on the lower right
side OF the tnOracic cavity extending
parallel and next to the spinal column,
between the second and fifth ribs. The
right lung was not of normal size.
There is no question that the ana
tomical maIformstion of the differ
ent organs had existed from infancy
The young man had never been i'll, and
this is the reason his peculiar condition
had never been discovered. The case is
believed to be one Of the most remark
able in the history Of surgery.
