Paris, Jan. 2-The feeling in diplomatic circles
is by no means hopeless in regard to the possibil
ity of averting war between Russia and Japan.
Information reaches here from unquestioned
authority that Emperor Nicholas is success
fully exerting his personal influence. and should
the japanese troops occupy Corea such step
would not be regarded by Russia a casus
belu The efforts of French diplomacy. both at
ST Petersburg and at Toxic, and also at Picking.
are being strenuously exerted to restrain Russia
and Japan. and. above all. to keep China from
being drawn into the conflict. The most siren
uous pressure has been put by France within
the last three days on the Chinese government
to this end for the conviction Of the French Cab
met is that should China become belligerent,
that would be a signal for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Of the Chinese Empire. north as well as south.
Uneasiness prevails here. lest in some way
France should be drawn into the struggle by
virtue of the Franco Russian agreement. The
relative merits Of the issue are too far away 20
interest the masses OF the French people, who,
however are dead set against any idea of ag-
sressive military action by France IN the Far
East 1t is significant that the "Rappel" and
several radical papers. notwithstanding the
Russian alliance, express cordial sympathy with
japan In the opinion OF those in the best posi-
ton TO know what is really going on at Toxic
and ST. Petersburg the question will. after all.
be settled peacefully.
The horrors OF the Chicago theatre catas-
trophe are described in the fullest detail in
the newspapers. causing profound emotion in
Paris, which. Notwithstanding the holiday sea-
son. has resulted In considerable falling Off
in the receipts at the theatres. especially so at

with age and infiammable finder boxes in
spite OF so-called freproof paints. Opinions on
the Iroquois Theatre fire have been expressed
by Jules claretie administrator general of the

Vaudeville Theatre; Sarah Bernhard. directress
OF the Theatre Sarah Bernhard. and also by
Jean d'Estournelles de Constant. head OF the
theatrical department o: the Ministry of Fine
Arts.
All practically admit that no means have yet
been discovered that can assure the absence OF
panic. which. nine times out Of ten, in case OF a
fire IN theatre. is the immediate cause of the
far greater portion of the loss of life. Sarah
Bernhard is terribly shocked by the news o;
the Chicago disaster. and expresses the deepest
sympathy. Her theatre Is of the largest
and best equipped in Paris. She says that since
the destruction Of the opera ComiQue in 1887 so
much attention has been given to i'm
nunity from fire that it seems impossible such a
disaster could occur at any of the leading Paris
theatres.
AT my theatre. for instance" said Mme.
Bernhard, there IS a fire drill twice a
week, ana every night twice, and sometimes
three times, the rigid metallic hreproof cur
tain is lowered and raised to test Its eff
fective working. Moreover. wet blankets are.
during each performance, kept in readiness
within easy reach OF the military fremen

that city in the world has more strict
fire regulations enforced upon theatrical man
ayers than Paris but unfortunately it is not

in view, a number of exits directly the

Carrie, of the Opera Conique, says that
the municipal fire regulations thorough
and are rigidly enforced and that he him.
self requires a fire drill twice week at his
establishment. The freproof curtain is worked
at least twice in Of each performance to
prove that it is in good order and to familiarize
the employees with quick fire drill. NJ d'Estour-
nelles de Constant says that stringent regula-
tons forbid in Paris theatres such dangerous
apparatus as acetylene gas generators, the ex-
plosion Of which will almost certainly ensue In
the case Of even a slight fire.
In Paris theatrical circles the deepest SYM
pathy is expressed with Chicago, and the re-
suit Of the report of engineers as to the real
cause Of the disaster IS awaited with interest.
The question OF responsibility is keenly dis
| cussed. and in this connection It may be re-
membered that NJ Carvalho. VINO was director
OF the Opera ComiQue at the time Of the fire on
May 25. 1887. sentenced by the courts to
three months imprisonment and a fine OF
$4,000. and a fireman named Andre was con-
demned TO one months Imprisonment.
