by international agitation or external
complications.
An official said to-day that the new
Korean-Japanese treaty had been the
occasion for putting out a number of
reports calculated to foment discord
between France and Korea and perhaps
to other powers, particularly Russia.
The authorities had taken note that
the reports emanated from high Jap
anese sources. But. the official de-
clared, French policy was definitely
fixed to maintain neutrality and re-
frain from the slightest active partici+
patton in the war, and this would not
be changed by the Korean-Japanese
treaty or other events, so far as pos
sibly can be foreseen at present.
1t is the understanding in govern
ment circles that Japan will not ask
the powers to give formal recognition
of the Korean-Japanese treaty, partic-
ularly its indirect establishment of
protectorate. Korea's position is lik-
ened to that of Roumania after TAX
ing. advantage Of the Turkish war to
declare it's independence, but before
the Berlin Congress had sanctioned its
becoming a kingdom.
There is no truth in the report, pub
lished in London, and which origi-
mated in the Novoe Krai of Port. Ar
thur, that the Japanese Minister at
Seoul. Korea, has requested the Korean
Government to hand the French Min

BERLIN, Feb. 27.-The silence Of the
German press toward the war projects
itself upon the attention of any one
searching the newspapers here for an
opinion about it, The news agency
dispatches from abroad are printed
with occasional explanations Of their
meaning to military and naval stu
dents, but that is all The usually
opinionated editor has nothing to say
on the Japanese Korean treaty con-
corning Russias protest against this
alleged infringement of Korea's neu-
trality, whether the Kiel Canal may
be used by belligerents, or on Foreign
Secretary Won Richthofen's statement
to the budget commission respecting
the continued occupation Of Chill
province by the troops of the powers.
The German newspapers on all sub
sidiary questions growing out of the
war are as mute as they are on the
larger rights or wrongs of the COM
batants.
This silence places in high relief the
relation of the press to the Govern
ment-a relation quite different from
that of the newspapers in any other
country on subjects of foreign policy.
The Government has given the press to
understand that neutrality in utterance
and reserve as complete as the Gov
ernment's own are a patriotic duty at
this time The Foreign Office has the
conviction that the German press has
large powers for doing mischief in sup
plying material for illnatured foreign
commentators, and the Government de-
sires to be perfectly free to act, should
action be desirable at a later period in
the developments of events, without
foreign feeling or that of either of the
belligerents having been excited
against Germany by injudicious COM
ment. The editors are not restless,

HALES BELIEVES
ORIENT WAR WILL
LAST TWO YEARS

Speaking deliberately and gravely,"
said A J. Hales, the famous London
war correspondent, as he made his way
on board the China yesterday, bound
for the seat of war in the Orient, Il
consider that it will be at least two
years before we see the end of the
Russo-Japanese struggle. 1 want to
say right now that my sympathy is
fully with the japanese and that I am
entirely antagonistic to the earth-hun-
ger of Russia, but am quite conscious
of the enormous Muscovite power.
never thought the Russian fleet would
go out, but that it would merely hang
around Port Arthur.
Il expect the Japanese, who in dash
and method are very like the French,
to make a brilliant stand, but the
heavy, cold Russian is the more canny
of the two. The present procedure of
Russia is the same as she has always
followed, even in the time of the great
war god Napoleon, whose army she
toyed with and wrecked. Then again in
the Crimea at first 1t was thought that
Turkey would easily blot Russia off
the map, and the sequel for this easily
nursed optimism was a bitter lesson
for Turkey, France and England.
Il believe that Russia is now playing
the same game with Japan. Presently
her forces will be concentrated, she will
fall back as far as she dare, draw ia
pan into extended marches and leave
the Mikado's men with the grown bur-
den of guarding a greatly increased line
of i,,Ix 10 ;v
not showing her full hand at present.
She is dogged in purpose. great at the
finish of a fight and has never been
lacking in fine generals. 1t should be
remembered, too, that Japan as COM
mercial nation suffers something extra
in every moment of the war, while
with Russia, who lives within herself
and has hardly any commerce, the case
is quite different. Whether the vim and
spirit of the japanese can cope with
the steady policy and endurance of the
Russians is a question yet to be an
swered.
speaking for my own particular
country, Australia, she cannot very
we'll do with Russian territory getting
closer to her shores. And that reminds
me of the Boer struggle, in which my
compatriots got their first real knowl-
edge of war. Well. the Australian Of
ficer-and / mean New Zealand too
may not be very dressy or effect-pro-
ducing in peace, but in time Of war as
a fighting animal he has no superior on
earth. When the Russo-Japanese cam
paign is over 1 hope to sail from San
Francisco for New Zealand. from where
some years ago on the Alameda made
the jolliest and most comfortable sea
trip of my life. No, / am not stranger
to California; indeed, the scene Of my
last story, Angel Jim," is laid in Los
Angeles. Like San Francisco? Why,
sure. It's good fellowship is great All
are kindly received, then treated on
their merits, and if they have not got
any-well, then they had better pass on
to less discerning centers."

tRy Associated Press,

~ u
WASHINGTON. u. c., November 81
President Roosevelt is assured OF the CO.
operation OF Republican Congress. Tho
present Republican majority in that body
Il Is 81, and there need no surprise II
z this figure is almost doubled, and 1t
is reascnably certain to reach q majority
Of at least fifty. #
s5 In practically all districts the Repub-,
Leans have held their own. while in some
instances the Democrats have lost. Prob
ably the most marked OF these cases are
!. the Fourth and Fifth Districts OF Calf
fornia (San Francisco). now represented
4 by Representatives. Livernash and Wynn,
4 Democrats. which returns Indicate have
3 been gained by the Republicans. In The
Twelfth Ohio District. Taylor, Republl-8
can, is reported TO have defeated Badger,
the sitting Democratic member. who wls
a candidate for reelection.
The most surprising OF all the reports,
however, come from the Fifth and Fif-
teenth Missouri Districts, both strongly
Democratic. and the former represented
by Mr. Cowherd, chairman OF the Demo
cratic Congressional Campaign Commit.
tee The Republicans claim to have car
ried both districts. III ss sjS
Have Majority Of Fifty.
In the light OF these reperts a Repuhli-
can majority OF fifty In the House Is
considered a conservative estimate. Re-
turns from the Southern States show that
they have returned the usual Democratic
ma joritles on congressman as on other
candidates. The States OF bama. Ar
kansas, Florida. Georgia. mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Texas all send solid Democratic dele
cations, while those from Kentucky and
Virginia probably each will send only one
Republican representative, making no
change from the present complexion. Ten
nessee will continue to send two Repub-
4 lcan congr cssnen.
There are several solid Republican dele
cations already reported from .>orthern
