ANOTHER REPLY TO RUSSIA
JAPAN AGAIN ANSWERS NOTE TO
 THE POWERS.
Cares Litte for the Views of the czar's Government at This Tsme but Does Not wish Misstate,n ents to Go Uncon- sradio,ed-The Occupation of Alleged Neutral Territory chemulpo Engagement.

Engagement.
 Washington, March S.-The Japanese
 minister is authorized by his govern ment to give to the press the follow ing statement received on the 4th in-
 stant:
 The imperial Japanese government
 are given to understand that the Rus
 sian government have recently address,
 ed a note to the powers in which the
 government of Japan are charged with
 having committed certain acts in Corea
 which are considered by Russia to be in violation of international law and all future orders and declarations by the Corean government are declared on that account to be invalid. The inn perial government do not find it neces- sary in the present instance to concern themselves in any way with the views, opinions or declarations of the imperial Russian government, but they believe 1t to be their right and duty to correct misstatements of facts which if per- mitted to remain uncontradicted might give rise to incorrect inferences and conclusions on the part of neutral pow CTS.
 Accordingly, the government of Japan 1 make the following statements respect ing the five acts which in the note re- ferred to are declared to be fully proved and confirmed:
 1. It Is charged under this heading, that before the opening of hostilities against Russia Japan landed troops in the independent empire of Corea which
 had declared it's neutrality The imperial government admit that Japanese troops landed in Corea before a declaration of war was issued but not before a state of war actually existed between Japan and Russia. The main- tenance of the independence and terri torial integrity of Corea is one of the 1 objects of the war, and the dispatch of 1 troops to the menaced territory was a
 matter of right and necessity which 1 had the distinct consent of the Corean l government. The imperial government I draws a sharp distinction between the ! landing of Japanese troops in Corea under the actual circumstances of the
 case and the sending of large body | of Russian troops to Manchuria with 1 out, the consent of China, as was done by Russia, while peaceful negotiations were still In progress.
 2. Under this heading it is alleged that
 Japan with a division of the Japanese ] fleet made sudden attack on the
 eighth inst, that is three days before | the declaration of war, on two Russian warships which were in the neutral port I of Chemulpo and whose commanders had not been notified of the rupture oi relations, as the Japanese maliciously | stopped the delivery of Russian tele-
 grams by the Danish cable and destroy ed the Corean governments telegraphie communication"

TRIAL FOR PERJURY OPENS
FORMER WATERBURY TROLLEY
 STRIKER AGAIN FACES JURY.
wills vandemark Declines to Plead to shs Charge and Court Enters Plea of Not GuiIty-Judge Refuses . Request of the Defense for Departure From the Usual Way Of choosing Jurors.


 the Usual Way of choosing Jurors. Waterbury, March S.-Willie Vande- mark. one of the former trolley road strikers, was put on trial in the super for court to-day charged with perjury in his testimony given when he and other strikers were tried on the accusa- tion of conspiracy to assault on ac- count of an attack on a non-union con ductor and motorman of car in Wa terville during the strike. All the boys who have been serving jail sentences because of their connection with the as- sault were in court to-day.
 When the complaint was read charg- ing perjury, it was noticed that the old complaint of conspiracy was reiterated in it. Attorney O'Neil, counsel for the respondent, surprised the court and the prosecution by the announcement that his client would by his advice decline to plead. Judge Ralph Wheeler thereup- on ordered the clerk to enter plea of not guilty for Vandemark.
 ] Attorney O'Neil asked for copy of l the evidence filed ith the court against l Vandemark as a basis for the warrant, and also asked that witnesses for the accused be summoned on state sub poenaes. Judge Wheeler declined to grant these requests at this juncture, | but said he would give his final decision later.
 A protest against following in this case the usual method of selecting jurors was also offered by Attorney O'Neil. He said that it seemed to him that the list was so arranged that it would serve certain purpose. The defense had only four challenges, and if the list as presented was followed, he did not think the result would be fair. He suggested that all the names in the l list be placed separately in a hat and drawn one at time. The state offered no objection. but Judge Wheeler over ruled the motion saying that he saw no reason sor dispensing with the usual mode of procedure. Later, if the matter came up, he said, he would consider any objection that might be presented.
 The following jurors were selected: Harry Brooks, farmer, Cheshire; Fred L. Baker, carpenter, Cheshire; William B. Bradley, farmer, Beacon Falls; Dwight L. Humiston, farmer, Bethany; William Andrews, farm hand, Wolcott; John I. Clark, paper hanger, Orange; Alfred M. Platt, mail carrier, South bury; Samuel Fotte, farmer, Branford; j; Jerome Parmelee, carpenter, Branford; Wales Chatfield, farmer Ansonia; Will ] liam Lewis, retired merchant, Meriden; Louis I. Fowler, carpenter, North Ha- ven.
 Immediately after the jury was picked the submitting of evidence began.
 The only witness before adjournment was Mabel w. Carter, stenographer at the trial of the strikers for assault last June. She identified the transcripts of evidence taken by her at that time.

JAPAN TO FLOAT LOAN.
considering Advisabuisy of Securing
 Money Here and In Europe.

Money Here and In Europe.
 Tokio, March S.-The Japanese gov ernment. it is said, is considering the advisability of seeking to secure inme diately loan in America and Europe. Although it is estimated that enough bonds can be sold at home to provide sufficient money to prosecute the war for at least one year and a half, and although many Japanese statesmen and financiers believe that Japan is capable of waging war to conclusion without borrowing a single cent abroad, and have, in a spirit of national pride counselled that no foreign loan be sought, yet it is felt that there may arise in a year or two a contingency when money may be seriously needed.
 It is thought that it would be better to place a loan now, if possible, rather than attempt to do so in a future crisis when money may be badly needed.

TALE MEN IN CONTESTS.
Good Showing at Indoor Meet of New
 York Athletic Club

New York. March S.For the first time in twenty-seven years the New York Athletic club held an indoor ath- letic meet tonight. New indoor records were made in the two long distance re- lay races, Cornell's representatives cov- ering four miles in 1920 4-5, which is over seven seconds better than the pre- vious record. The Cornell man led from start to finish, Ithacans' last relay, w. E. Schuttt. finishing nearly one hundred yards ahead of c. B. Alcott. In the two mile relay race, open to colleges Yale defeated Columbia by thirty yards, the time being S:09 3-5, by far the best indoor time on Tecord for this distance. H. Lemoyne of Harvard was on scratch in the 16-Dound shot putting handicap, went within two inches of equalling Gray's American record of AT feet, es- tablishing an indoor record of 46 feet 10 inches. L. Mertz of Yale, with an all lowance of eight feet, won the 70-yards hurdle race handicap by a couple of inches from E. J. Clapp of the same uni versity, who ran beautiful race from scratch. Arthur F. Duffy of George town university and D. J. Torrey of Yale were the two scratch men in the sixty yards dash handicap, but both were beaten. Duffy seemed to be com pletely out of form as he finished last of five in his trial heat, while Torrey, who ran splendidly, finished second by inches in his trial and semi-final heats, but tthe best he could do in the final was to finish fourth. Two of his college mates. Sumner and Mitchell, with re- sDective allowances of 12 and 14 feet, finished first and second in this event, with Fallon of Fordham college. who had twelve feet. third. All the other events were well contested.

MARQUIS ITO GOES TO- CORRA
SENT AS SPECIAL AMBASSADOR
 TO THE EMPEROR.

Regarded fn London as Very signffi- cant-whereabouts of Viadivostok Squadron stiI a Mystery-vsry Im- probable Report That 1t Has Been En- gagged by the Japanese and sunk or Captured -AIexiefr sends Further De- tails of sundays Bombardment
 Tokio, March S.-The forthcoming visit of Marquis Ito as a special am bassador from the Emperor of Japan to the Emperor of Corea claims general attention. It was originally planned to send prominent Japanese to Seoul as permanent resident adviser to the Corean government, and various names were suggested.
 The announcement that Marquis Ito is going is a surprise. In official circles it is insisted that the object of Marquis Ito's visit to Corea is not politically inn portant.
 l It is denied that Japan has any new plan to execute. It is thought, however, that Marquis Ito will make an investi- gation on the general conditions in Corea, and formulate possibly some rec concentrations which will be useful in the adoption of a policy for the future. London, March 9.-The Far Eastern news published here continues to be most meagre. The dispatch of Viceroy Alexieff adds practically nothing to the accounts of the vladivostok lombard ment contained in previous reports. Tuesdays dispatches from Tokio make no mention of the rumor that the Russian Vladivostok squadron has been engaged, and the Tokio correspondent l of the Daily Telegraph, cabling on the might of Tuesday, March 8, says: NO l details have yet been received of the fight at Vladivostok.'
 The whereabouts of the Vladivostok squadron is still unknown, and it would appear to be quite unlikely that naval battle has occurred
 The sending of Marquis Ito on a mis- sion to Corea is regarded here as the most significant news of the day, and is believed to indicate a virtual protec- torate over Corea, which will become the Japanese military base and source of supplies,
 Marquis Ito enjoys great prestige. He visited the Emperor of Corea in 1898, and since then he has been held in the highest esteem by the emperor, who often consulted with him.
 It is reported from Shanghai that viceroy Alexfeff is preparing to remove his headquarters to Harbin after hav- ing in vain ordered the Tartar general to dismiss the Chinese garrison at Muk- den.
 London, March s-The Daily Tele- graph this morning publishes dis patch from Tokio. dated March z, and saying. sa 3
 Tt is reported that the Japanese fleet engaged the Russian Vladivostok squadron at sea yesterday. The result of the engagement is not announced, but it is believed that the Russian ships were destroyed or captured (The above report is very improbable in the face of official Russian advices, as on last Sunday the Japanese fleet bombarded
