JAPAN PREPARING FOR VAR.
Rasslan lggrsssioas in Mansharia
Aroass Fighting Spirits Of japs.
aRsEaALs WORKING OVERTIME.
Chinese omcials Greatly Alarmed.

Victoria, B. c., May 13.-According
70 sdyices received by the steamer En-
press of India, Japanese arsenals were
being worked day and night, pro-
visions were being concentrated, coal
stored on Tspima Islands and on all
sides it was evident that Japan,
doubling the extent of RUssla's with
draval from ManchuTia, was preparing
for war.
minister Of agriculture, who was one
of the passengers by the steamer ana
who had been in close touch with
japanese royalty and ohcialdom, says
the war feeling in Japan is very
strong. and warlike preparations were
in view. The massing of Russian
troons on the banks of the Yalu, on
the pretence that protection is being
accorded to timber concesslonarles'
was causing strong feeling IN Japan,
this being regarded particularly as a
menace TO Japan.
The destruction by fire Of the pow
der factory at Toksofu has led to
sinister rumors that Russian spies were
connected with the disaster.
Russia continues making extensive
military preparations. The North
China Daily News reports that there
has been a continuous flow Of Russian
troops travelling by train from Hardin
TO Port Arthur, while other large
bodies have moved to the Eastern
borders of Manchuria, camping in the
vicinity of the Yalu River, WhIch nc n
divides that country from Corea. Inc
warlike movements are causing great
alarm TO Chinese officials, ana a
Chinese official is quoted as saying that
the Russians are preparing for the
Inevitable struggle with japan, a day
which all Chinese officials believe to
be not far distant.

Wild COTTON SPECULATION.
High Price Record Broken Again
Bull Dealers Have Shorts on
the Run.

New York, May 13.-Tremendous
excitement peryaded the cotton market
today as a result Of the sensational
advance in Liverpool which came
about 10 to 16 points higher than had
been expected. The local market start
ed is to 27 points higher On the near
months and 4 to il on the late months
under a rush of shorts to cover. The
decline of yesterday had attracted
sales and these sellers bought actively
this mo orning. During the first few
minutes prices were advanced trihe
further on some positions, but were al
most Immediately weakened by wave
of selling for profits. This selling was
encouraged by the Indifference of New
Orleans, favorable weather and fair re-
ceipts. The advance at Liverpool was
attributed by cables to demand in the
absence Of selling and the strength of
spot situation. It was also thought
that the operations of the local bull
clique had been transferred to that
market.
Noon found prices % to 80 points
upon the near months and to9 points
on the late positions, shis being the
top for the morning, the season and
for dozen years with a single excep-
tion. Today's top prices for May con-
tracts showed an advance of 343
points or nearly 315 cents since Nov.
IA, the low day of the season.
Great as was the excitement during
the morning as a result Of the sensa
tional Liverpool advance, it was sur
passed in the afternoon when the rush
of buying orders was probably the
greatest ever witnessed in any cotton
market. Prices were forced rapidly
upwards and the list as a whole reach
ed new high records for the season
while the volume of business was such
as to surpass all previous records, the
transactions being estimated at fully
one million bales. The market closed
a few points of from the top on some
options but firm and excited at net
advance Of 10 to 40 points. May sold
at ll.3l, July at 1921 and August
1875.
