MAKES wRY FACES

Since its hired thieves were made to desist from stealing the press ser vice, being received by the Daily Alas kan and the Juneau Dispatch, the Ju- ueau Record-NIiner is attempting to discredit that service. It was silent, Of course. while it was prodting from the work of it's cats paw in skagway.
 Among other things, the Record Miner asserts that it was given an op- ton on the service by the whitehOrse Star before the same was offered to the Daily Alaskan and the Juneau Dispatch and that 1t refused to tskeit.
 That this statement is false is proven by the fact that the Record-Miuer hired a sneak thief to steal the news at Skag- way and that it continued to use ituntil the aforesaid hired article discovered that the officers of the law were hot on his trail.
 Then the Record-Nliner adds:
 "The service as 1t comes, through four or hve different operators-to Daw- son. then back to Whitehorse, then to Skagway, where it Is finally put on the wire for the human wonder" at Jun eau. It's mere boys play, each news paper injecting its opinioninto the mat ter as lt passes through its hands
 Not one word Of which is true. The Daily Alaskan, the Whitehorse Star, and the Juneau Dispatch gets theft ser vice directly from the Dominion tele- graph people and a relative compar- ison oiths matter furnished, as it aP- pears daily in each of those papers and in the papers Of Dawson, will disclose the fact that it is not tempered with.
 A comparison of this news with that which appears from day Go day in the papers in the states, also, will demon s.rats that the service is accurate.
 Iti is admitted that it is difficult C get war news, but the embarrassment on that account has been equally greaI in each Of the cities otthe world, and it is the direct results of the press censor sbir in the Orient.
 Of course, intelligent readers. who think twice of the matter, understand the Record-N1iner's wry faces to be the result of morbid attack of 'sOuI grapes, bu, it is probably in order tc call attention to the facts.

STAND BY MIKADo.
Japanese Congress Will Provide All
 Funds Necessary.

Washington, April 2.-The Japanese Minister has received a cablegram from Tokio stating that before the adjourn meht of the House of Representatives, the following resolution was passed:
 The Imperial declaration of war against Russia, enunciating just and honorable principles, shows that his majesty had been actuated solely by desire to pre- serve the peace of the Orient, and every subject of his majesty should do the utmost to obey the imperial will. This House, moved by the same patriotic devo- ton that is felt by the whole nation, has provided the revenues desired by the gov ernment so that there may be no de- ficiency in funds for prosecuting the war and following up the great success already attained by our navy.
 The war has only just begun. and the time Is yet far distant when complete victory can be won and the peace of the Orient restored But this House will always be ready to cordially cooperate in the measures necessary to bring about that desirable result and will be prepared to grant all funds necessary for the prosecution Of the war.
 Tn passing this resolution, which Is unmistakabiy in conformity with the national will. the house desires to urge the ministers of State to uphold the im- perlal policy, and to bring about speedy restoration of peace by taking all timely measures and devising plans to meet every eVentuality."

LAPS MUST FACE ODDS.
Russians in Field Greatly outnumber
 Mikado's Men.

Chicago, April '2.-A special cablegram
 from Chicago Daily News staff cores. pondent from Tokio says: t Field Marshal Yamagata, who, after
 the Emperor, Is first in command of the Japanese forces and was the original or
 9anizer of the Japanese army, said today that the Japanese may have to fight odds Tor two to one and that the clash may come at the Yalu river. The Marshal said:
 Russian troops ave been coming south for long time and 1t is evident that & conflict. must result. As matters have turned out, 1t would have been better if the war had occurred when the Russians first occupied Manchuria, because ever since they have been strengthening their position In that province. Our states men,. however. wish peace as long as possible. It is difficult to say where the first big land battle will take place. The
 Russians seem to be in force between Liao Yang and Kai Ping, on the Man churian railroad. They may cross the
 mountains and possibly meet us nt the
 Yatu. 7g .~e>,
 Bridges and roads north of Anju have been destroyed by the Russian troops and therefore the Japanese advance will be difscuit. No doubt, if the Russians destroy the MRnchurian railroad, 1t may, not he lfaeuif te repair it for the nssi of the Japanese troops. We might even re- place old material with new, but the diff
 icuity is to rench the railroad. Five months ago the Russian generals planned to put sse0o0 men in the field. They must have contemplated supplying them with ammunition and food.
 TWO rivers that empty into the Arctic Sea run near Lake BaikAl. They are navigabie in summer and can be used for transportation. The Russians in this way need not rely entirely on the railro7d. Large supplies of American flour have
 been going to Viadivostoc't for years ana we must expect to meet a well equipped and we'll nourlshed army of S5oo0o. It Is 0 dificult matter 10 fight a nation with 3,00O,001 soldiers. We have to lay our plans very carefully ..-
 There Is no doubt that the Cossack cavalry will worry the Japanese army. which was originally intended for home defence in the mountainous country and is mainly composed of infantry. We must work with the material we possess. When the Japanese army is compared with oth- CT armies 1t must he remembered that it has only been lately organized. had no small share in Its organization and there fore see it's faults and try to improve it, but nevertheless find that 1t reaches my ideal

LISTENED TO CROMWELL.
His Counsel Prevailed With Panama
 Directors.

- aris, April :-The Panama decision was preceded by number of very active conferences between the American off, eiais and those of the Panama Canal Company. It was the wish of the most influential directors of the company that a stockholders meeting be held and the transfer of the concession and other prop erty to the United States be consum- mated withou. reference at the action of the court.
 Wi,iiam Nelson Cromwell. American counsel for the Panama Canal Company. maintained that this would be extremely unwise and almost as dangerous as the court might construe the company's &C., ton as an affront, thus delaying, and perhaps, prejudicing It's decision, and the friendly attitude of the court. Sev- era1 of the directors then desired that a notice of the meeting be jssued immedi- ately so that the actual meeting could occur after the decision. Mir. Cromwell also opposed this course on the ground that 1t might alienate the friendship of the court. His counsel finally prevailed. However, immediately after the decision was announced the directors assembled and '~side' of few hours issued a mo- tice of the meeting which will occur at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of April g.
 MT. Cromwell consulted with Ambasssa- dor Porter throughout the foregoing. the ambassador eoncurring in the view that 1t was not desirable that the company act before the decision was announced.

 St. Petersburg. April 2.-Although the authorities do not believe there Is danger of the recurrence of the anti-Jewish riots of last year. reports of impending trouble circulated at Odessa, Kieff, Kishing and other centers where there is a large Jew ish' population have somewhat alarmed . the Jews and Minister of the Interior von Phleve' has adopted most rigorous pre- cautionary measures.
 Not only have the newspapers been warned, under threat of severe penalty against the publication of articles which might infame race hatred, but the civil and military authorities in the district which might be affected have issued warnings threatening offenders with heavy fines and imprisonment Governor Ussourousoff of Kisheff and Governor Kaulbars of Odessa are strong, capable men in whom the government 'reposes im- plicit confidence
 That reports of possible outbreak have been circulated abroad is evident from the fact that several foreign embassies during the past few days have received inquiries from their governments on the subject. But the authorities seem to be convinced that no serious movement will occur to discredit Russia in this time of war and declare the internal situation to be exceptionally good. the dfsaffected elements being unable to make headway against the deep feeling of patriotism manifested by the people. Government advices are to the effect that the socalled reformers, radicals and socialists are los ing instead of gaining ground in conse-' quence of the war.
 Among intelligent Jews the feeling that there is now presented an opportunity to show the world that they are friends, not enemies of the native country Such in- fiuential Jewish organs as The Necessity denounce as foul islander the statement that Jews are not Loyalty supporting the country.
