RUSSIA A4D JAPAN.
Silence of the Cars Govern
ment Has d Bad Effect.
NAY GET BEYOND THE DIPLOMATS
Japanese Consul General In KOre

cOvite War Preparations
still Continue.

TOKYO, Nov. 27.-The far eastern
situation shows no Improvement yet.
The minimum proposals of the Japa-
nese government were submitted last
month, but the Russian government
still preserves Il silence which is pro.
ducing Il bad effect. 1t Is feared that
unless some basis of agreement shall
be arranged before the opening of the
japanese diet, Dec. 6, the situation may
possibly be carried beyond diplomatic
control.
n Peking correspondent, referring to
the~p publication of exaggerated accounts
as to the number Of Russian troops
reviewed at Port Arthur, says:
while it is undeniable that Russia
has largely increased and is still in
cteasiEg her garrisons in Manchuria, 1t
is equally undeniable that her prepare
lions have been hurriedly made and
are very incomplete and less advanced
than Russia would desire the world to
believe.
Japan is apparently the only one of
the powers to be undeceived. Such Off
cial exaggeration is believed to indi-
cate uneasiness in the face of the com
pleteness of the japanese preparations
"a completeness which many observers
believe will astonish the world"
There is Il general subsistence of war
talk in the Japanese press, the Japa-
a2se consul general in Korea having is.
sued a proclamation to quiet the alarm
Of his compatriots.
A telegram from Port Arthur says
the Russian torpedo boat Statny has
been launched there, making the
18TH torpedo boat built at Port Ar
,.r". The first six of these vessels
nate already been placed on a war
footing.
1t is reported here that Russian
troops have reoccupied Haicheng, thir-
ty miles north of Newchwang. The
town is close to the Mukden-New-
chwang railroad. 1t is explained that
the whole country is occupied by Rus
sian troops for the purpose of protect
ing the railroad workmen and the Chi
hesc population from the depredations
Of robbers.

Glnss-MaISinn In Japan.

The art of making glass was intro
duced into Japan about $50 years ago
by a Hollander, who settled at Osaka.
For several generations the knowledge
of the process was confined to a single
family, and it was not until about 1879
that the employment of coal instead Of
charcoal, and the construction of brick
chimneys, enabled the manufacturers
to introduce improvements which
placed the industry on a substantial
basis. Osaka haF continued to be the
center of the Industry, and now manu-
features for export besides supplying
the home demand.

REBELS CEASED THEIR ACTIVITY.
Revolt Paused While Mr.. Bowen Was
ENGAGED In NEGOTIATIONS.

Contradiction Of rumors which have been
gratuttously circulated here that Minister
Bowen in his mission to Washington to OBJ
tain peace did not enjoy the support of the
whole of the Venezuelan people Is contained
in q letter which General Jose Manuel Her
nandez, I'll Mocho," has written to the
minister thanking him on behalf of the
Mocho party for Mr.. Bowen's service to
Venezuela. Shortly before the minister 8
departure for Washington 'Mocho.' came
to him and pledged that SO long as Vene-
zuela was beset with enemies from with
out the revolution should cease "Mocho"
has kept his word, and none of his forces
have renewed their activity since Mr..
Bowen instituted the peace negotiations
here. In his letter to the minister "Mocho''
says: .-,. -.
Referring to the late International events
connected with Venezuela, the outcome of
which has been so satisfactory both to her
people and government, I consider it my
duty, as q Venezuelan citizen and personal
friend, to present you my sincere congratu-
lauons for your very important action in
settling so serious a conflict. This ques-
ton of the Anglo-German claims, which by
its nature and possible consequences might
have affected the general principles of
American policy, Is now fortunately over
by the equitable agreement between the
parties concerned; but your interference as
the commissioner for Venezuela will con-
tinue to be keenly acknowledged by all the
thinking citizens of this country, who can
appreciate the value and efficiency of your
diplomatic representation, through which
further complication has been averted and
a sound precedence established In regard
to the foreign relations Of South American
republics generally.
In my capacity as the leader Of party
I must also express my hearty acknowl-
edgment OF your ability and Of your noble
feelings toward my country. The welfare
OF Venezuela Is dear to US, and SO Is dear
every helping effort coming from another
person or quarter. You have acted friendly
and as q friend your services shall be kept
alive IN our minds and hearts.
with renewed congratulations and best
wishes for your prosperity, believe me,
Yours very faithfully,

Gen. Smith was man of marked intelli-

outspoken in his views, and was always
ready to struggle for what he considered
right. His varied career since the civil
war made him familiar with many lines of
modern development: and his influence, ex.
erted in a wider field than usually falls to
the lot Of single individual, was always
on the side Of progress. AS a man he was
sociable and companionable, and therefore

THE HAY-BOND TREATY
RATIFICATION URGED By vARI-
GUS CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE..
Rejection, It La Claimed, Would Prob
ably Drive Newfoundland Trade
to Canada.

: The Hay-Bond treaty for reciprocal trade
relations between the United States and. the
British dependency Of Newfoundland was
the subject of hearing today by the Sen
ate committee on foreign relations. The
arguments made were all In support OF the
treaty and were by Messrs. Herbert G. Hall
and Osborn Howes of the Boston chamber
Of commerce, e. N. Outerbridge OF both
the New York chamber of commerce and
the Chicago board of trade and L. B. Stod-
dart of the New York produce exchange.
Messrs. Howes and Hall contended prin-
cipally for the ratification of the treaty as
| means OF strengthening the commercial re-
lations between the United States and New
foundland, and they argued that by taking
the proper step at this time the United
States could make sure of the trade attach
ment of Newfoundland to this country,
whereas false step might have the effect
of driving it to Canada. They also urged
that the free bait privilege granted by the
treaty is of the greatest Importance. The
statement was made that only the Glouces-
ter fishermen oppose the treaty, and 1t was
asserted that many of them are not clt1-
zens Of the United States.
Mr.. Outerbridge urged that a failure to
ratify the treaty probably would have the
effect of changing the balance Of trade
with Newfoundland, which is now In favor
of the United States. He said that the free
admission of Newfoundland fish could not
injure the fishing industry Of the United
States, and he also stated that no consider
able revenue is derived from the fish now
imported into the United States from New
foundland
Mr.. Stoddart stated that the adv1ces re-
ceived by the New York produce exchange
point strongly to the absorption of New
foundland trade by Canada unless reciprocal
trade relations can be established between
that country and the United States. This"
he said, 1--WE are assured is imminent, and
that should this happen American exports
to Newfoundland would be cut down about
40 per cent. Should this occur the United
States would practically lose 81. O00. 900 Of Its
export trade"
Senator Lodge. who opposes the treaty,
questioned the witnesses, bringing out the
fact that by its terms only eight articles
are added to the Newfoundland free list,
and that Of these one only, gas engines. Is
to be admitted without restriction.
When the hearing was concluded the COM
mittee announced that it would not hear
any more oral arguments.

NIB. DIETRICHiS DOCUMENT.
Why He Objects to the, Cuban Reel
IS. rprccitvT Treatv.o SIT -.zr- 8

L.
iprccityT Treaty 81 $50 8
A document presented to the Senate by
Senator Dietrich of Nebraska is receiving
considerable attention from senators In
their consideration Of the Cuban reciproc-
ity treaty. Senator Dietrich Is interested
in the prosperity Of the beet sugar industry
Of his state, and from that point of view
prepared the Senate document, which con-
tains earnest argument against the
treaty pending before the Senate.
Mr. Dietrich makes a statement of the
case as follows:
First. That the sugar trust is alarmed
at the growth Of the beet sugar industry,
and that 1t is doing everything In its
power to crush IT.
Second That this fear is based upon
the results of the last beet sugar cam
paign, which makes it certain that unless
some radical step is taken by the trust the
beet sugar producers will steadily intrench
upon the monopoly heretofore maintained
by the trust. .....s.. 81.
Third. That the trust has quickly de-
termined that the free entrance Of Cuban
sugar into the United States will be a d.
reot blow to the beet sugar industry.
Fourth That the trust finds its surest
hope Of success in this direction lies in
marshaling newspaper support behind The
sympathetic position taken by the admin
iStration toward Cuba.
Fifth. That the trust has determined
that partial reduction Of the duty upon
Cuban sugar Is only the forerunner to free
Cuban sugar, and ultimately to free sugar
from all quarters.
Sixth. That the trust is satisfied that
even if the reduction is not voted con-
ttnuance OF the agitation win terTorize
capital from entering the beet sugar BUSH
ness and check the alarming growth of
the industry" '-r.
In conclusion Mr.. Dietrich says that the
profit will go to the sugar and tobacco
trusts rather than the United States treas
ury. He denies that President Mckinley
ever made promise which renders the
ratification of the Cuban treaty obligatory,
and that the reported distress In the island
did exist or now exists.

THE STATUE OF FREDERICK.

to the suggestion recently made that the
unwilling Of the statue OF Frederick the

suggestion and informed the Emperor Of

1t will be more convenient to the Washing
ton government to receive the statue next
year instead Of next summer, as had been
originally intended. 1t is probable that the
unwilling Of the statue will occur shortly
