London Saturday to the effect tina
japan has sent an ultimatum to Rus
sia is discredIted in Picking, and nc
confederation is In possession OF the
legations. While the knowledge OF the
legations on the situation leads to the
belief that the sending of an ulti'
matum Is improbable. the prospects oil
war are evidently increasing. The
British legation some days ago re-
ceIved 4 telegram Indicating that war
was possible. and the Japanese lega-
ton Is offcially informed that Russia's
recent reply to the Japanese proposals
was unsatisfactory.
Considerable anxiety exists In the
best Informed circles OF London re-
garding the possible outcome OF the
situation In the far east. Fears are,
II Is said. expressed that the Russian
government may have outstepped the
bounds which would make peaceful ne
gotiations with Japan possible. 1t may
be regarded as quite certain, 1t as
ssrts. that japan will not accept the
principles OF the Russian note which
are altogether at variance with ia.

pans reply must necessarily be cast In

President has No Right to Plunge
Country into War.

Senator Morgan has introduced a
resolution declaring that the president
has no right TO wage war against any
foreign power without the consent Of
congress. when such country Is at
peace with the Unitod States; that the
provision OF the canal treaty between
the United States and Panama is. in ef.
fect, declaration of war with Co

United States in preventing Colombia
from suppressing the secession of Pan
anna is contrary to the law of neutral
ity and the law of nations.
The resolution of the senate and

on any connection of any European
government with the cons tguction of a
