With reference 70 the reiterated
statement from Russian sources that
Russia could not agree 70 a japanese
1ortifcaton OF Southern Korea, as It
would endanger the neutrality Of the
Straits OF Korea, the japanese lega-
ton said to-day that Japan had al

OF this contention on the part of Rus

passages Of the Straits OF Korea should
be perfectly free. Japan. however,
refused 10 agree 70 the neutral zone

japanese these recall notices are con-
sidered as practically a declaration Of
war between Japan and Russia
Consul Uyeno, when seen at his resi-
dence yesterday afternoon by a repre-
sentative Of The Call, was very reticent
regarding the matter, claiming that he
had no official intelligence which he
was at liberty to make public. OF in
formation received unoff1cially, he said:
Yes, it is true that Japanese resid-
ing IN this city have been called home
20 take UP arms. To my personal
knowledge but two persons have re-
cefved this notification. This is i'm
material, however. because If notice
was sent to one II was sent to all. Just
how many there are in the State or
country subject to recall I am unable
to state. The lists of names are kept
in Japan, and 1t would not be very
good policy to allow them to become
public, as It would give an enemy an
opportunity to gauge our actual fight
ing strength more accurately than we
desire.
The lists were not sent 70 me. and
will not be. What information I have
came TO me casually, but 1 am positive
that it is correct"
Would you take this as an indica-
ton that your country was about to
declare WARP" was asked
The representative of the Mikado,
hesitated a moment, shrugged his
shoulders and gave the non-committal
reply: May be: may be not"
When pressed to be more definite he
smiled, his eyes twinkled and he re-
piled: well, then, think may be-"
Consul Uyeno was naturally enthusi-
astic regarding the fighting powers Of
his country, which, he considers, is
only seeking justice. He has no fear
that a conflict with Russia would re-
suit disastrously to Japan.

SPEED OF TORPEDO BOATS.
Depth of Water Has a Great Effect

Oepth OF water Has Great Effect
Upon Power Needed in Operation.
The recent tests OF torpedo boats in
the Bay of Dantzig, Germany, have re-
suited in the ascertainment of some
facts regarding their navigation not
hitherto known. The particular object
OF these experiments was to ascertain
the influence of the depth of the
water on the speed of the boat. 1t is
stated that up to a speed of twelve
knots an appreciable influence was
observed, but from fifteen to twenty
knots the unfavorable character of
the influence increased in proportion
to the diminution of depth. In shall

twice as much power was required of
the engines to get the speed easily
obtainable in deep water.
With an increase of speed. the
strange fact was remarked that condi-
tons unfavorable to the boats way
were no longer apparent in two faith
oms, but rather at depth of four or
five, and better results were obtained

vations the government naval archi.

the resultant high percentage of fixed

The Pocahontas vein is thought to

explanation OF the difference is that
the anthracite bed was subjected to
a more thorough coking process under

of the vein while the latter owes it's
own lack OF volatile matter to the
fact that II was subjected to heat
