WAR CLOuDIN ORIENT.

A dispatch from st. Petersburg, dated
July 20, says:
''The attitude of Japan and the war
like tone of the majority of the japanese
press have attracted much attention in
official circles. 1t is declared by the best
informed people that there is no likeli-
hood of war, certainly not upon Russia's
initiative. 1t is stated that Russia has
every motive for desiring peace, chiefly
for financial reasons, with which are
wound up desire for extensive domestic
reforms which the government considers
to be the most eficacious manner OF dis
arming internal discomfort and nipping
the revolutionary propagandain the bud.
1t is believed to be impossible, from the
Russian viewpoint, for Japan to embark
in a contest with Russia single-handed,
and it is not thought she will secure the
material support of Great Britain or the
United States. Nevertheless, Russia is
taking every precsution to strengthen her
military and naval position in the Orient,
beliving this to be the surest means of
discouraging japanese aggression. Nj.
Lessar's Port Arthur conference is said
to havedealt chiefly with these measures,
though they are declared to be entirely
precautionary, war being the furthest
thing from the wishes Of the Russian
government"
Notwithstanding the reports from the
Toxic correspondents of the London
newspapers that Japan, fearing further
Russian aggression, and unwilling to
risk the loss of Korea, would rather
fight Russia now, it is said in official
circles in St. Petersburg that the
japanese government has decided to OBJ
serve the policy of waiting and watch
ing Russia, advocated by Great Britain.
In the meantime she will urge China to
carry out the assurances given to the
United States respecting Manchuria,
and will endeavor 70 obtain the opening
of additional ports.

AT the japanese Legation in London
the following statement was made by an
official
'I can assure you thatth talk of war
between Russia and Japan is an ihven-
ton. Japan has not the least intention
of taking that course. She proposes to
wait and maintain her attitude Of watch
fulness. Japan and America are act
ing on the same lines, and it would be
difficult for any other power to with
stand the pressure they and Great Britain
could apply"
1t is said that Japan intends to do
nothing till October, when the final
evacuation of Manchuria must occur.
The failure of Russia to withdraw from
Manchuria would be followed by seri-
Gus move on the part of Japan.

WORK oF osECREr, COMMITTEE.

! WORK OF ''SECRET' COMMlIIEE
Counsel for Lawrence Murphy, the
former treasurer of the Stonecutters'
Union Of New York, now on trial.
charged with appropriating the organiza-
tion's funds, continued his novel line of
defense before Judge Newberger yester-
day in dragging from each witness ad-
missions as to methods used by the
Journ eymen Stonecutters' Union in
extorting money from employers.
There was a crowd of labor men in
court.
John Boyle, treasurer of the Stone
cutters Union, was recalled. BY him
the prosecutor identified contract be-
tween the six members of the Stone
cutters Union and the Lawyers Surety
Company, which was introduced to dis
prove the testimony of Thursday that
these same members divided the 50, 900
among themselves. The document was
contract by which the members of the
''secret" committee could not draw the
money from the Lawyers Surety Com
pany unless they filed every two days
a statement of their services rendered.
BOYLE testified that he had turned over
to Murphy the 81 600 be had received
"for services to be rendered" as his
share of the 50, 600 trust fund, and that
this fund had been deposited with the
surety company before the Brooklyn
Stone Dealers Association had paid to
the union $40, 600.
Several other witnesses testified that
the trust fund was created by fines
against members of the union during
strike in 1898, which fines were paid by
the employers under an agreement with
the union to end the strike.
Donald Call, formerly president of the
union, testified that the ''secret" com
mittee had demanded $50, 900 from the
Brooklyn stone dealers to settle the strike
of 1902, and that 500, 900 might have
been demanded. AS compromise, the
committee agreed to accept $4,000,
which was paid.
William A. Norrie, treasurer in 1902, !
and now president of the stonecutters'
association, told Of the "secret" COM
mittees turning over the checks to
Murphy, the treasurer; how the six
other members of the committees be-
gan to get uneasy about the whereabouts
of the checks, and how they went
to Murphy and told him that he must
put the money through the proper
channels of the association. Norrie said
that Murphy told them they would have
"to dig deeper than him" to get the
money, but that he finally agreed to
meet them the next morning. Then,
although they all gathered as agreed,
Murphy did not appear II was after
that that Murphy went to Europe.
After sustaining several objections
raised by the prosecutor under counsePs
procedure. Judge Newburger said:
"If it is proven that funds of this or
ganization were turned over to the de-
fendant for keeping, then he will be held
responsible for them, and must give
satisfactory accounting, and l will so
charge the jury. If the money in ques-
ton was obtained by questionable prac-
tice, then there is another means of cor
recting the evil. How the money came
into the association does not lesson the
responsibility of the officer elected to
care for il, f."
