Captain Johnson Tells Of Work
Done in Seattle.

BOTH Vl1HiFliD BRICK AND ASPHALT

To Statesman representative Cap
tain P. B. Johnson, who recently re-
idence again in Walla Walla, this
morning had the following to say about
'treet paving:
"On returning home after nearly
Two years absence it is very gratifying
o note the many improvements which
nave been made during my absence,
and to read and hear of others. One
Of the contemplated improvements,
which will prove of great and lasting
benefit to the city, is the paving of the
business streets. something it was my
frequent pleasure in the past to Wig
orously advocate, only to be met with
the cry, johnson wants to increase
taxes: the old streets are good enough
But like the other improvements l
Used to advocate, street Sprinkling at
public cost, street paving is bound to

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1j.-The state
department is in receipt Of energetic
protests from large importing firms in

provisional government or govern
ments in Santo Domingo who interfere
with legitimate trade by paper block

tests is that at this particular season,
when the sugar crop is about to he

blockadcs would have a most pcrni-
cious influence on American interests,
as most OF the sugar is marketed here.

WAR IN THE
BALANCE
Both Sides Talk Peace and Keep
on Preparing for the
Fighting.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Mr Taxa
hira, the japanese minister here, called
on Secretary Hay and informed him
that the Japanese reply to the last Rus
sian note, just delivered, denies all the
important Russian propositions. ia
pans counter proposals are Of nature
that will certainly make them unac-
ceptGble TO Russia; therefore a most
pesSimistic view of the future is taken
at Tokyo.
A St Petersburg dispatch says:
81 desire and intend to do all in my

These were the words which the car
spoke to the members of the diplo-
matte corps at the New Years recep-
ton held in the Winter palace while
making a leisurely round of the great
white hall, with its beautiful colon
nades, in which the representatives Of
the various countries had assembled.
His majesty chatted freely and at con-
siderable length with several Of the
diplomats and others.
Keen curiosity was exhibited all over
the room when his majesty approach
ed Mr. Kurino, the japanese minister
to Russia. The conversation between
the ear and the minister was cordial
and extended. His majesty emphasiz-
ed the high value which he places up
on. the good and neighborly relations
between Japan and Russia, not only
now, but in the future, and expressed
his mistaken hope that a mutually
satisfactory settlement Of the difficult
ties between the two countries would
be arranged. Minister Kurino left the
reception profoundly impressed with
his majestys words.
1t had become known here through
the foreign office that Count Casslni,
the Russian ambassador to the Unit
ed States, had been instructed to as
