SAID TO BE UNSATISFACTORY
Japanese Officials Considering the Rus

Toxic, Jan. S.-The government is
silent concerning the terms of the
Russian rejoinder. A high authority
here. however, says that the reply is
unsatisfactory TO Japan. especially in
Its features bearing upon the question
of Korea He says that the Russian
government in its communication eX-
presses a desire for peaceful settle

Japan has taken the reply under
consideration and il convinced that
Russias protestations are honest and
that there is a chance for peace she
will continue the negotiations. At the
same time the ministry is unqualified
ly opposed to long delay. 1t is be
coming apparent that Japan would re
sent any intervention upon the part OF
any Of the outside powers in the eX-

SLIGHT HOPE OF PEACE.
Pessimistic Feeling in French Official
Circles.

Paris, Jan. S.-Official and diplo'
matte circles here claim to be without
information regarding the contents of
the Russian reply to Japan, but the
tone is distinctly pessimistic and
there are but slight hopes of a peace
ful exit from the position in which
Russia and Japan find themselves.
The diplomats are making inquiries
rs To the attitude of the powers in
case of war, that TO be adopted by the
United States being regarded as par
ticularly important. To the Associated
Press the Japanese minister said
"The attitude of the United States
will mean much. She has negotiated
q treaty with China for the opening of
three ports in Manchuria to the com
merce of the world. These ports have
been occupied by Russia and thus her
treaty rights have been violated.
Japan is not guided by selfish mo-
tives, but is acting in the interest of
all nations. | hope the United States
will clearly understand our position
and will favor us with their support. "
