Japan Is Cautious.

Toxic, Jan. 4.-Waa' preparations
continue, but the government seems
determined to avoid the initiation OF
any conflict. and for this purpose Its
note sent to the powers was intended
10 show the responsibility rested upon
Russia should negotiations now pro-
ceediny fail. The government is pro-
ceedlng very cautiously and unless
Russia gives undue provoeation 1t is
possible peace may continue for some
time. Preparations made by the gov
ernment are. however sufficient to
convince the populace OF ietsrmina-
ton upon its part to fight, II necessary.
Popular clamor has somewhat sub
sided. ,altho many support the PROPOSE
lion to seize and declare protectora.e
over Cprea. 1t Is safe TO anticipate that
the government will continue negotia-
tons until a peaceful settlement Is
hopeless. There IS much imitation at
the prss sent course of Russia in Seoul
and Pekin. Imperial princes serving In
the navy have returned to their sta
tons at Sasebo.

Supt. Riggs states that he Will soon
call a meeting of the board OF educa-
ttonal examiners to meet here win
him for consideration OF the general
work OF that board. The Importance
of the board is growing all the tlms.
but Riggs believes that the legisla :
ture should give 1t greater power anu
authority. He states that as he is
somewhat unfamiliar with the work Of
the board he will ask that the hoar1
meet for general discussion OF Its
work to the end that he shall take IT
up understandingiy.
Judge Robinson of the state board
of control states that a sufficient time
has now elapsed since the new law
relating to inebrfates went into effect
to indicate a little OF what may be
done, The evidence is that cures have
actually been effected in number OF
cases, while In others 1t is yet too early
to know. Some have been out too short
a time to determine whether cure
has been effected. The hospitals are
again filing up for the winter with
inebriates and the tendency to run
away is lessened by the approach Of
severe weather.

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 4.-The Associa-

Russian reply will be transmitted to
Japan in day or two. The reply will

Lamsdorff on Friday ind that he is

Des Moines, Jan. 4.-Iowa's magnifi-
] cent capitol building. which cost the
state three million dollars to construct,
as in ruins as a result of a fire which
started from an electric wire in the
i northwest attic at IL O'clock today.
The Twenty ninth general assembly.
which was to have met next week, Will
IN iall probability be indefinitely post
poned. AT this hour it is impossible To
tell lust what will be done in regard to
the meeting OF the legislature, but 1t is
likely that 1t will be called In the near
future in order to take some action in
regard to the rebuilding Of the burned
structure.
At 2 p. m. the fire was not under con-
troll and the entire building was threat
ened. The ceiling of the house of rep
resentatives had fallen in and the
flames were spreading to the senate
chamber. At this hour the loss Is es-
4imated at s25o,oo0. Eleven fire COM
panies are fighting the flames with IN
1ications that they will be able to get
chem under control soon. Owing to the
height Of the capitol building, the
water pressure was not sufficient to
reach the flames effectively and the
sire having started in the attic the
fian,es were not reached until they had
made great headway. When it was
apparent that the great structure
xsuld be gutted by the flames the Of
aciais including Governor cummins set
TO work TO remove the records and oth-
er effects which could mt be placed In
the fre-proof vaults. The fire caused
the greatest excitement and thousands
OF people came over to capitol hill
while the fire was in progress. 1t Is
feared the entire building may be ruin
ed, as the flames are not under coN-
Dlete control.
Mayor Harrison today after confer
once with a large number of theatre
managers, vetoed the plan proposed
BY the managers to open their theaters
! and admit patrons to the main floor
emily. The danger is just as great in
the mayors opinion as It has been so
long as violation of the ordinance Is
continued.
Tae coroner's jury made the second
tour OF the Iroquois today exploring
every part OF the building. They dis
covered in examining the roof that the
glass in the skylights had been broken
and that all ventilation fiues and pipes
are open.
Five chorus men arrested on a charge
OF manslaughter in connection with the
IRE at the Iroquois theatre were re-
leased today on bonds OF $500 each.
Eight chorus girls kept under police
surveillance at the Union hotel since
7 the fire were also released on bonds OF
$500 each. All will be arraigned on
{ January IL on the charge OF man
slaughter.
Coroner Traeger has received infor-
nation that more than half the stage
hands were in saloon near the stage
door drinking beer when the fire was
discovered. It has been learned that
the smaller stage door opened in and
not out, as the ordinances require and
ii was torn from the hinges when the
stampede OF chorus girls occurred
