A STRIKING SUGGESTION
By London Statist for Settlement of
Far Eastern Quarrel.

London, Jan. 30.-The Statist, in d
long article on the Isusso-Japanese
situation, makes striking suggestion
for the solution of the difficulty which
seems to meet the claims and conten-
lions of both Russia and Japan.
After commenting on the advantage
cS of the Chino-American treaty, which
is says, if carried out would assure al
open door in Manchuria for the rest Of
the world, the Statist continues as fol-
lows:
when Russia was at the gates of
Constantinople and practically haG
dictated peace to Turkey, Great Brit
ain lnterferred and the result was the
Berlin Congress. Would it not be
statesmanlike and humane to summon
such Il council now, in order to prevent
war? Would it not be possible for the
Russian government to sell its rail-
ways in Chinese territory to an inter
national syndicate, all the powers
guaranteeing the safety and the inter-
e,tS of this syndicate? In that way
the real rights of Russia in Manchurla
would be safeguarded. while the APP
prehensions entertained by Japan that
Russian extension threatens her very
existence, would be permanently re-
moved"

LOOKS SERIOUS.
Correspondent Says War Between Ma
tions 10 Appreeiably Nearer.

New York, Jan. 29.-The Times has
the following cable from London:
Russian military opinion, says the
st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
Times. Is not convinced that Count
LamsdorR, the foreign minister. has
seriously undermined Viceroy Alex
jeff's position. The Grand Duke Alex
ander Mikhailovitch is now giving
support to the viceroy.
War, says the correspondent, is APP
probably nearer.
II would be well. the Moscow corre-
spondent OF the Times says. not to re-
rose too much confidence in optimistic
assurances from st. Petersburg.
Strong opposition is still offered by
the military party to all suggestions OF
a general withdrawal before Japan.
The Cars desire for peace is OppOs-
ed by strong interests, il not by down
right intrigue. The majority of the
grand ducal party are believed to be
strongly opposing the concession OF
what they considered the impertlnent
demands OF an Asiatic power. Con-
siderations of prestige alone are suffi-
Gent to kill a proposal to back down
on important points. 1t seems to be
widely feared that conflict is inn
pending. Meanwhile. military prepar-
atoms are being pushed around the
Black sea with undiminished haste.
The Times Russian correspondents
saw continual communications are pro-
cceding between the Russian foreign
Office and VicerOy Alexieff in order to
enable the ministry to draw up the
reply To Japan. which is being prepar-
ed with the greatest care. 1t viii

ply Is ready.
Both Count LamsdOrf and the Japa-
nese minister say they have no official
confirmation OF the reports Of disturb

of the negotiations.

ian Manchurian frontie). special

BEAVERS CAUSE MUCH DAMAGE.
Cut Down Young Timber in South Da'
kota to Build Dams.

Sioux Falls. s. D.. Jan. 29.--The small
rhnchmen and homcsteaders living along
the tributaries of the MOreau. Cheyenne
and Bad rivers. in the western part OF
South Dakota, are experiencing plague
of beavers.
Owing to the rapidity with which Tho
animals have increased in numbers. tho
state law prohibiting the killing or trap
ping Of beavers is becoming very obnoNi-
ouS. Under the protection Of the law
beavers nave multiplied very rapidly H.

Hence the value of beavers to the cattle
king of those prairies. whose herds were
wont to roam at will over hundreds O.
miles of public domain.
Conditions, however. are rapidly ch2nc-
ing in that Part of the state. The small
ranchmcn-men owning from 100 to 3Ae
head of cattle-havc DISPLACED the big
ranchmen. 1t is therefore not surprising
that these now settlers should object YER
seriously to the presence of Il family OF
beavers here and there along the watcr-
courses running through their land This
is due to the fact that the beavers are in
dustliously engaged in cutting down all
the valuable Young timber along the
banks of the streams.

EXTREME CARE USED
In Drafting Russia's Answer May Ac
count for the Delay.

st. Petersburg. Jan. eft is said
that the delay in forwarding Russia s
answer to Japan's note was necessita-
ted on consequence of the extreme
care taken in drafting the document.
Viceroy Alexieff's views are also
awaited before it's transmission to the
Car.
1t Is fully realized here that the
forwarding of the answer will mark
another critical stage in the negOtia-
tions. everything depending on Japan's
attitude. 1t is feared that despite
pacific influences the hands of the au-
thorities may be forced on account of
the excitement of the press and peo-
pie.
A high official said: "Of course. We
cannot prevent war. Russia will de
her utmost to offer Japan a basis for
durable peace. but there are limits
beyond which we cannot go. In Corea
We grant practically everything and
in Manchuria we already recognize all
the treaty rights of Japan and all the
other powers. Should Japan reject
our conciliatory propositions the world
must place the responsibility upon
Japan"
An important fact in connection with
the situation has been learned by The
Associated Press within fortnight
both Russia and Japan have officially
communicated to the United States and
to the European chancellories their
positions regarding some of the points
at issue. This course was considered
necessary insview of the wild and vary
ing reports disseminated.
