1t is not surprising that the dazed
mind of the Russian ambassador could
find no phrase to describe the slaugh-
ter of innocent fishermen in the North
sea by the Russian fleet except ter
rible mistake" 1t is that beyond all
reasonable doubt. 1t is inconceivable
that the Russian commander had the
slightest intention Of committing an
unspeakable outrage upon a nation
with which Russia is at peace, and
with which it needs so to keep at
pease as is the case with Great Britain,
says the New York Times. But what
is to be thought of a commander capa-
BILE of such a mistake, or of the disci-
pine and training of a navy in which
it could occur?

BALFoUR HINTS AT WAR.

London, March LIN the course of
a discussion of the naval estimates in
the House of Commons this evening
Premier Balfour, while admitting the
magnitude of the estimates. said the
House should not only consider the
amount, but should watch the general
European and Asiatic situation which
alone could justify what the country
was asked to expend. The country
should not lose sight Of the possibility
of war between Great Britain and two
great maritime powers, which could
hardly and without great losses on the
part of both the enemy and Great
Britain, "a which event the other ma
tives would be intact and in a mari
time position which they did not now
hold.
In the discussion Mr.. Balfour said
he was reluctant to mention the posi-
bility Of war. He did not think such
dreadful contingency was one which
they at present had any reason to
apprehend. But, when talking of the
navy. they must always be talking of
the possibility of war.

JAPAN'S ANSWER TO
CHARGE OF TREACHERY
Says Russia Had Been Preparing for
the War.

Says Russia Had Been Preparing for
the War.
Washington, March 1.-The Japanese
minister to-day gave out an authorized
statement from his government rela-
tive to Russian allegations that Japan
was guilty of a breach of international
law in not declaring war and of treach-
cry in attacking Russia, who was bent
on peace. The statement says Rus
STA, while delaying negotiate ex-
tended her naval and military prepara-
lions, increasing her Far Eastern
fleet by nineteen vessels and augment
ing her forces by 10000 men, besides
fortifying strategic points. The state
ment says:
From these military and naval
preparations of every description made
during the progress of the negotia-
lions, it is quite evident that Rus
STA was not inclined to a friendly set
Element of the questions then under
discussion between Japan and herself,
but sought solely by her military pre-
ponderance to force Japan into sub
mission. During the latter part Of
January and up to the beginning Of
February Russia's military activity
was still further intensified.
Seeing that the situation was be-
coming so critical that it admitted of
no further delay, the Japanese gov
eminent was compelled to break off
negotiations that had proven abortive
and to take the necessary steps for
self-protection.
1T is the almost unanimous opin-
ion of international jurists that a
declaration of war is not an indispens-
able prerequisite to the opening of hos
tilities. Indeed, it has been the COM
mon practice in recent wars to de-
clare war after hostilities have been
begun. Japan's action, therefore, is
not open to the least criticism in this
regard. From the standpoint of in
ternational law it must be acknowl-
edged that the charge made against
her does not come with good grace
from Russia, inasmuch as there are
many historical instances of Russia
herself resorting to hostilitles without
declaring war"

Adams of Pennsylvania in favor of the

Powers of Massachusetts. who urged

who expressed the opinion that there

Mr.. Williamson of Oregon made his

Relief for the Southern tobaccezgais
ers was advocated by Messrs. Hop
kins of Kentucky, and Flood of Vir-
ginia through the repeal of the 6 cents
per pound tax on stemmed and twist
ed tobacco.
Mr.. Hopkins of Kentucky argued in
favor of the Gaines bill to remove the
internal revenue tax on 'stemmed'' or
twisted" tobacco. when sold by the
producer. He charged that certain
plugs of tobacco turned out by the
trust" contained nlanZ ingredients
beside tobacco.
The producers Of the tobacco, he
maintained should be placed on the
same footing as the growers of corn
or wheat. and allowed to stem and
twist their crop without being sub
jected to a tax of cents a pound.
Mr. Flood of Virginia followed in
advocacy of the same relief to the to-
bacco growers of the south. He de-
clared holly that Judging from the ac-
tion of the Republican executives dur
ing the past seven years, the tobacco
growers could expect no relief from
the tobacco trust. and consequently
