The income tax statistics show that
Berlin, with a population as great as
that of the Borough OF Manhattan, has
only one person with an income Of
100000 a year - about the sum Mr..
Rockefeller draws in a week. Two
Berliners have incomes of over $500, 900
each. and there are only sixty nine per.
sons in the whole city whose annual
revenues exceed $4,000, says the New
York World. These figures give some
idea of the enormous discrepancy be-
tween the wealth Of Berlin and that of
New York. There are vast apartment
houses in Manhattan In which no ten.
ant with an income of less than $40, O0O
a year could live. There are hundreds
of private residences on Fifth avenue
and other streets whose occupants must
average much more than that amount
There are hundreds Of family suites al
the great hotels which could not posi-
bly, be occupied by people In receipt OF
less than $4,000 year. Probably
there are more million dollar incomes
on Manhattan Island than there ar,
$4,000 incomes in Berlin. And ye

Two very rich men ut the West have
lately received credit in the news for
large gifts of stocks and bonds to their
children on festive occasions. The
question may seem ungrac.ous, but Coes
not the character of such gifts depend
upon whether they were prompted by
parental affection or by desire to
dodge the legacy tax?

BARON HAYASHI SAYS
THERE IS NO CHANGE

PARIS, Feb. 6.-Baron Hayashi, japanese
minister to Great Britain, in talking to a
London correspondent of the Figaro, re-
fused to confirm or deny the correctness of
the interview with him published in the
Matin saying that he authorized the official
publication Of only the following: Russia s
reply has not been received, and, so far as
/ know, the situation is unchanged; but if
Russia will not accept the clauses which
Japan regards as essential, war is inevita-
BILE"
The Figaro correspondent concludes that
the remainder of the Mathis interview rep
resents Baron Hayashi's personal views,
adding that a short conversation with the
minister suffices to show that he regards
the situation as extremely critical.
Baron Hayashi. during the interview, ex-
pressed the opinion that the optimism of
the French press was due to the fact that
the far Eastern question was less studied
in Paris than in London, and he dwelt on
the essential point of Japan's note. de-
manding the mutual recognition by Japan
and Russia of the territorial integrity and
independence of China and Korea, which
amounts TO a formal recognition of Chinese
sovereignty over Manchuria.
According to the London correspondent of
the Matin, persons best qualified to speak
authoritatively regarding Japanese mat
tiers declare that Japan's final decision has
already been taken, and that Russias an
swer, whatever may be its tenor, will not
make any difference.
War, these persons say, is inevitable, for
Japan henceforth will do as she chooses
without regarding what Russia may think
of her actions.
The Figaro this morning says it has rea-
son TO believe that Foreign Minister Lams-
dorffs dispatch contained only the essential
points of the Russian note to Japan, the
full text of which will follow the dispatch
in a few days. 1t further expresses the be-
lief that the note will not constitute the
Russian governments last word, but will
leave room for further negotiations

WIDESPREAD EUROPEAN
CONFEDERATION POSSIBLE

LONDON, Feb. 6.-Prospect OF a great
war breaking out in the far East next
week, which is acknowledged even in hith-
erto most pacific quarters. has been brought
precisely nearer by the developments of a
day or two. That Russo-Japanese conflict
will be followed by Balkan outbreak
which in time is liable to develop into
a widespread European confiagration, is
also considered as probable, and increases
the depression pervading all political and
commercial circles. The news from st.
Petersburg of the preparations of NJ. Ku-
rino, the Japanese minister, for departure
is not yet known in London In official
circles, the press and the public have al
ready practically decided nothing can avert
war and probably the termination of the
long delay and suspense when the first gun
is fired will occasion a sense of relief and
possibly business Improvement. Already
Toxic dispatches announce that relief is
felt there at the fact that all doubts re-
garding the outcome of the negotiations
have practically been set at rest.
The British postoffice emphasizes the crit
ical state of the situation by announcing
any place in Japan, thus confirming the
New York announcements to the same
effect.
With reference to the reiterated state
ment from Russian sources that Russia
could not agree to a japanese fortifcation
of southern Korea, as ii would endanger
the neutrality or the Straits OF Korea, the
Japanese legation said to-day that Japan
had already recognized the reasonableness
of this contention on the part of Russia and
had readily agreed that the passa ges of the
Straits of Korea should be perfectly free.
Japan, however refused to agree to the
neutral zone suggestion because she be-
lieved it would become virtually a Russian
sphere of influence in view Of her large
concessions on the Yalu river. Moreover if
Japan had granted this demand ii would
have been in opposition TO Japan's conten-
ton that the independence and itegrity of
Korea must be recOgized.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE


When you read that a sufferer OF many
years standing has been completely re-
stored to health by using Smiths Cure-all,
you are inclined to doubt the statement
and, in fact, have no belief in il whatever
The reason for this Is that so much IS
claimed for the Cure-all IL is impossible
for any one to believe IT; If the advertiser
confined his claims to the curing of one
disease, do the proprietors of Pyramid
Pile Cure, readers would have much more
faith in published testimonials. Those IA
miliar with this great remedy know that
testimonials TO its merit may be relied
upon implicitly, also that the cures brought
about by its use are little short OF marvel
ous The genuineness of the testimonial here
given is vouched for and is but one of thou
sands received:
II wish to write you and tell you what
your Pyramid Pile Cure has done for me. I
have been troubled with piles for the past
five years and used every remedy that was
recommended TO me. While some would give
me relief for a while they never have cured.
i was so bad this summer l could not get
up or down without pain: could not at
tend TO my household duties Finally got
5O-cent box of your Pyramid Pile Cure
at the druggists and IL is now two months
since 1 used the last of the box. and have
had no trouble since. / can say II Is
really and truly q good remedy.
Il am so thankful tried il. as l know IL
has cured me- and il al any time I should
have any such trouble again 1 would use
II at once. Since / am cured l have rec

MINISTER TAKAHIRA IS
DECIDEDLY PESS|MISTIC
He Thinks Japan and Russia May
Sever Diplomatic Relations
Any Moment.
SITUATION VERY GRAVE.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Mr. Takahira,
the japanese minister, had a conference
lasting about half an hour with acting
Secretary of State LOOMS this afternoon.
He left the department greatly depressed
over the situation and will not be sur
prised TO hear of a severance of diplomatic
relations between Russia and Japan at any
moment.
In an interview, the minister described
the situation as being very grave. He was
not surprised to hear that Mr.. Kurino, the
japanese minister was preparing to depart
from the Russian capital. In view of the
activity of the Russian military forces, the
Japanese believed that Russia is bent on
war Special emphasis is placed by Japan
csc officials upon the forwarding of the
reply to Admiral Alexieff, head of the war
party, for final revision Another strong
indication of war, in the opinion of the
japanese, is the warning given by the
Russian officials at Vladivostok TO the
japanese commercial agent, that a state of
siege might be expected at any time.
1t can be said that Mr.. Takahira's visit
to the State Department to-day was for the
purpose of conveying an important com
munication that will prepare this govern
orally expected to take. He gave the act
ing secretary a brief resume of the nego-
tiations, pointing out the patience with
which Japan had waited for more than a
reasonable time for the Russian reply The
minister said Manchuria had always been
regarded by Japan as vital part of the
negotiations. This fact leads the Washing
ton officers to believe that Russia's refusal
to make a treaty on this point will be fol-
lowed by war.
At the Japanese legation it is said an i'm
portant announcement may be made to the
American people within short time. I'm
the present crisis an officer added, dis
Greet silence is absolutely necessary"
Baron Hayashis interview, printed this
morning, is believed at the japanese lega-
ton to be authentic.
