WARLlKE PREPARATIONS.

LONDON, Feb. 8.-Telegrams from
Toxic published here this morning an
nounce that an emergency council of
ministers was held Sunday and that
Marquis Ito and Field Marshal Oyama
had an audience with the emperor.
The Toxic correspondent of the
Standard reports the utmost activity
on the part of the railroads, which are
rapidly conveying troops to ports of
embarkation.
Cabling from Toxic, the correspon-
dent of the Daily Telegraph gives a
report that Russian troops have al
ready crossed the Korean frontier and
that an official declaration of war is
expected Monday. He adds that Rus.
sian interests in Japan have beer

BALTIMORE, By Telephone to
washington, Feb. 8. 4:45 a. NAT this
hour the fire continues beyond control
and the situation appears to be hope
less. Hundreds of firemen at work in
trying to save the residence district
were in despair until word pas pass
ed among them that eleven engines
with full equipments had been put on
fast train and sent on from New
York
1t is impossible to penetrate the
fame -encircled district on the river
front and it is only known that the
flames are working their will in dis
trict that is utterly doomed.
1t is impossible that there shuold
not have been some loss of life in the
populous district into which the fire
has made its way, but nothing can be
done in the fee of the wfirlwind of
fire that wipes out blocks without
pausing.
1t may be said with certainty that
the conf1agration amounts to one of
the great disasters of modern times
and figures on the loss at this time
cannot be made for the reason that the
entire city is panic stricken.
Thousands Of people have been re-
duced to beggary by the fire and If
the flames continue to spread in the
residence district at the other side of
the river the extent of the calamity
may not be written

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. War
between Russia and Japan is momen-
tarily expected in administration and
diplomatic circles.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador, today promptly on the receipt
of a long cablegram from Count Lams-
dOrff, the Russian minister for foreign
affairs, drove to the residence of Mr..
Loomis, the acting secretary of state,
shortly before noon today and inform.
ed him of the dispatch received from
the head Of the Russian foreign office.
In substance, Count Lamsdorff's dis
patch was to this effect:
Before Baron de Rosen could trans
NIT the pacific reply of his government
to Japans last note to the japanese
foreign Office the Russian government
received from the japanese minister
for foreign affairs on Friday last a
brief note announcing the breaking off
of the far Eastern negotiations, the in
terruption of diplomatic relations and
the recall of Mr.. Kurino, the japanese
minister at ST. Petersburg, with the
request that he be furnished his pass
ports forthwith.
On high authority the statement is
made that the Japanese government
has not yet received the Russian re-
ply. Doubt is expressed here whether
it will ever be delivered. Mr.. Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister. stated to-
day that he was not inclined to at
tach great Importance to the charge
said to have been made, that the
japanese government had been guilty
of bad faith in instructing its minister
to withdraw from st. Petersburg be-
fore Russia's reply to Japan's last
note had been received. His govern
ment doubtless would soon issue a
statement explaining its motives re-
garding this as we'll as the other more
important points of the controversy.
Being without official information, he
could only express his personal opin-
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-02-08

ion. He said that when Japans last
note was sent on Jan. 13, the Rus
sian government was especially re-
quested to send an answer as quickly
as possible, since, Notwithstanding
Japan's earnest efforts to reach an
equitable settlement there had been
delay of several months, thus crea-
ting a situation which was becoming
uncomfortable.
Some time having passed without
reply, the Japanese minister at St.
Petersburg was instructed to approach
the Russian minister for foreign af-
fairs in order to discover whether
some means could be found to hasten
the reply. This he did several times,
and on the last occasion, only a few
days ago, Count Lamsdorff informed
him that he could not give any definite
information even as to the probable
time when the reply could be sent, as
the matter rested exclusively with the
emperor. Meantime, while the reply
was thus delayed Russian military and
with renewed vigor. Considerable
bodies of troops were being dispatched
to the Korean frontier, and the fleet
at Port Arthur was sent out to an
unknown destination, while other Rus
sian naval forces were being hastened
to the scene Of activity. The garri-
son commander at Vladivostok, acting
on orders. informed the japanese com
mercfal agent that the Japanese resi-
dents of that place must be prepared
to leave at a moments notice, or must
| be ready to move to a town in the in
terror some distance from Vladivostok
and remain there within certain pre-
scribed limits. Actions like this on
Russias part, while the reply to ia
pans moderate and conciliatory rep
reservations was still unaccountably
| delayed, said Mr.. Takahira, did not
seem to indicate sincere desire to
maintain peace, but pointed to the
conclusion that Japan, by waiting un-
til Russia favored her with a reply
might place herself in a disadvan-
tageous and even dangerous position.
Under these circumstances the jana
nese government probably decided that
1t was wise to terminate negotiations
which, Notwithstanding every effort On
It's part, had proved entirely futile.

NO FORMAL DECLARATION.

TOXIC. Feb. z. - The severance Of
diplomatic relations between Russia and
Japan appears to be only step toward
a war, although when the ministers of
Russia and Japan withdraw from their
respective posts quick and decisive ac-
ton is expected.
The indications are that there will be
no formal declaration of war. Japan
will publicly define its position and
purpose and the foreign office has pre-
pared news statement, which prob

1t is not expected that there will

of a naval engagement in the straits
of Korea will be the first intimation
that peace has been broken.

A. AMANN HAS RESIGNED
Second Ward Alderman Will L eave the
Council.

Andreas Amann, councilman from
the second ward, has handed in his
resignation and it will be acted upon
at the special meeting of the council to
be held this evening. Whether the
aldermen will elect his successor to-
night is not known but it is likely
that the matter will be allowed to go
over until the May meeting.
A number of names have been men
toned for the vacancy and last week
residents of the second circulated a
petition in favor of F. FL. Retzlaff.
The latter had no ambition to serve
but finally yielded to the wishes of his
friends and promised to accept the
office if is was rendered him. Mr.
Retzlaff's record and his qualifications
are too well known to require eulogy
in this paper. He is one New Ulm's
most substantial business men and the

selection could be made.

Ex-auditor r. G.. Dunn's record for
the protection of state timber from
trespassers makes a very poor show
ing compared with that which Auditor
Iverson is making. This means some
thing when we consider that beyond a
doubt there was as much thieving run-
der the Dunn as under the Iverson ad-
ministration. Another item which is
to be considered in this connection is
the we'll known fact that the lumber
men are supporting Mr.. Dunn's candi-
dacy under the lead of Thos. Shevlin
Of whom Congressman Bede once said:
''Tom Shevlin is the best judge in
Minnesota of dead and down timber.

SAD HOMECOMING
Father Expected His Son and Received
His Body.

When Joseph Kunz, a New Ulm boy
residing in South St. Paul, wrote to
his father, Jos. Kunz, Sr., of this city,
that the latter might expect him home
Thursday for visit, he little knew
that he was making promise which
would be fulfilled in death. He advised
his aged father that he intended leaving
ST. Paul and had made plans to spend
a fortnight or more in New Ulm before
going to Fairfax to work at. his trade
as painter. The letter was written
early in the week but before he could
carry his designs into execution he
expired suddenly and his remains were
shipped here on the day he himself
had designated.
Kunz was an unmarried man thirty
years of age and had been in the en-
ploy of the Swift Packing company of
South St. Paul. He had spent the
winter there but had arranged to re-
turn to his trade as painter. Tues
day evening he retired at his boarding
house but during the night sudden
attack of heart trouble caused his de-
mise. When his landlord attempted
to arouse him Wednesday morning he
made no response and upon entering
| his room he was found dead in bed.
The remains were brought here and
| the funeral held from the Catholic
church Friday morning, the services
being conducted by Rev. Father H. B.
Sandmeyer.
