OUR MINISTER FEARS MOB LAW

London, Jan. 15.-The Seoul CORE
Epondent of The Maily Mail says that
the native press is advocating the
slaughter of all foreigners. United
States Minister Allen has ordered all
United States womeI. and children to
remain indoors. and he predicts that
rioting by the military is imminent. Nj
Collin de Plancy, the FrenclAminister
has vainly advised the emperor to
take refuge in the French legation.
Toxic Continues to Hope for Peace.
Toxic. Jan. 15.-The situation here
is apparently unchanged. 1t is re-
ported that the majority CT the pow
ers recognize Japan's demands as be-
inc most moderate. While it is admit
ted here that the war party is now
dominant at ST. Petersburg, reasonable
though faint hope is entertained that
Russia at the last moment will make
adequate concessions.
London. Jan. 15.-BarOn Hayashl.
Japanese minister here, estimates that
the negotiations between Japan and
Russia are likely to extend for three
weeks longer.
Points of Japans Latest Note.
Berlin. Jan. 15.-Japan's main points
in her last note are understood Off
cially here to be that Japan consents
to eliminate Manchuria from the con-
troversy. owing to the signature Of the
commercial treaty between China and
Japan, and Russia's assurances that
China's commercial conventions will
be respected. Japan, therefore, restrict
ing her claims to Korea, asks for a
definite, written guarantee that Rus
sia will abstain from interference III
the politics of that country, thus leay-
ing Korea exclusively to japanese i'll
fuence.
Another Neutral Zone Proposed
Japan. rejecting the proposed neu-
tral zone as delimited by Russia (which
lies entirely in Korea), proposes a
neutral zone. if Russia still thinks one
desirable, which shall consist OF equal
territories of Korea and Manchuria,
including the Yalu river, with all Rus
sia's Notifications thereon. Finally,
Japan fixes no limit of time, but earn
estly expresses the hope that Russia
will not delay defnitive and favor

quests. Japan alludes to her privilege

 Confident of Victory.

nHTO EExtCIlSc ObtE-~&U@cM AANAkns~4S Confident of Victory. Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry. June 2s.-The work Of all the Yale crews was of the Highest order tonight. the evenings exercise of the varsity and freshmen consisting, of g few prac- tice starts, after which 8 slow and easy two-hnile paddle was taken. The four oar crew was out for a. short time to- night and took a spin of mile and a half Coach Kennedy said tonight that he was confident that the varsity would win its race Thursday, and this by s comfortable margin. The men, too, seem confident and are in prime condition.
 Harvard Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, June 28-Easy work from now until the big race Thursday will be the pro- gramme for the Harvard 'vargity crew. This evening the men rowed down to the navy yard, startingso out earlier than usual in order to allow them to get to bed @ little before the scheduled time,
 and although there seemed to be- little
 life in the boat, it went along smoothly, the drive being better than usual At the finish of the two miles the men were rowing a s5-strolse, having hit it
 up from 30. By 6:s0 the crew was back
 at Red Top.
 At that time the freshmen went out and rowed upstream for about a mile,
 doing about 36 or 37 strokes to the min ute.
 | Coach Colson said tonight that the
 work tomorrow, the day before the
 race, would be a repetition of that of
 to-day, and it may be lighter. | Coach Adams, of the Yale crew, and
 all the varsity men came down in the launch this afternoon and paid their
 odlcial visit to the Harvard men.

PORT ARTHUR SQUADRON.
ToIxio Believes Exit is Too small for
 ships to Emerge at Night.

Tokf0 Believes Exit is Too small Tor
 ships to Emerge at Night. l London, June 29.-The Times Tokio correspondent says that a consultation between the members of the cabinet and lthe principal and political parties will probably lead to the formation of a large council comprising representa- of all important bodies, thus completely obviating parliamentary disputes at the next session of the Diet.
 | It is believed in TolSio, the correspon- dent says, that the exit from Port Ar thur is so difficult that 1t was impossi- ble for the Russian squadron to emerge during the night, and that therefore the only chance for the escape of the squadron was to come out during the day and to begin it's flight in the night time.
 It is not imagined in Tokio, the cor respondent says, that the Russians had any intention of fighting when they made their last sortie, and he adds that all accounts indicate that the Russians at Port Arthur intend to make a reso- lute stand at Tuchintsze, where the preparations resemble those at Nan shan Hill.

ST. PETERSBURG ANXIOUS.
Eager for Further News from the
 Front.

St. Petersburg, June 29.-1:52 a. m.- No further advices from the front had been received up to midnight, though news from General Kuropatkin and Rear Admiral Wietshoft Gin command of the naval forces at Port Arthur was eagerly awaited. The usual rumors of heavy fighting pervaded the city. but they were based wholly on the fact that the armies are in close touch.
 Though it appears now from General Kuropatkin's tactics that heavy en- gagement may be deferred for some days 1t is possible that the Japanese may rush matters, but it is not general | ly expected here that General Kuropat- kin will give battle until he reaches a 1 position of his own selection.
 i It may clarify the military situation to explain that the country in which the armies are coming into contact consists of series of mountain chains running parallel with the railway along side of which the Russians are falling back as the Japanese are advancing. Fen Shui, Mo Tien and Ia are all passes which take their names from the mountains over which they run. General Kuroki, who has heretofore been east of these mountains, is advancing to the vest ward from Siu Yen through very rough country and his columns must 1 traverse che passes named before emerging into the more open country along the railroad, approximately Aabreast of Ia Tche Kiao. Hai Cheng and Liao Yang. The Russian outposts
 and the Japanese advance are now in close touch at all these passes. The
 Russians after harassing the Japanese advance from each of these positions are falling back on General Kuropat- kin's main body, which is supposed to
 be somewhere between Ldao Yang and Ia Tche Kiao.
 General Kuropathin is now moving slowly northward along the railway and
 wherever he makes his stand there will
 be precipitated what is expected to be the decisive battle of the campaign.
 In the meantime General Oku is ad- vancing along the railroad on the heels of the withdrawing Russians. He is
 backed by powerful army. How large a portion of this army he has detached to join General Kuroki has not
 been developed, but it is probably large
 enough to add material severely to the fighting before the Russians finally
 abandon the mountains.
 There is the greatest eagerness for
 news from Port Arthur. but nothing
 concerning the situation there was known up to midnight.

LAST NIGHTS CELEBRATION.
Merry Times Had on the Yale Campus
 Streets Crowded.

Streets Crowded.
 With the many classes back for their graduation old New Haven last night became a scene of hilarious excitement. The fun was fast and furious, and the people poured out by thousands to wit ness the antics and observe the merry making of the old grads, and the young ones. The streets about the center of the city were lined with the moving mass of humanity and the campus was literally swarmed with men, women and children.
 It is certain that the classes which celebrated their reunions this year were just as lively as any of past years, and even more so, because they were flushed with the baseball victory over Harvard.
 The bands of music were kept con- stantly active, and they played all of the marches, songs and glees, also all of the popular waltzes and airs of the day. The din was something terrific when all of the celebrators reached the campus. Each band was playing a diff fsrent tune, there were firecrackers and cannon crackers galore, red and blue fire, and the grads were all giving their class yells simultaneously. Bon fires are usually tokens of appreciation |of victories and the celebration last night would have been sadly lacking had not o large fire been Iindlad The flames leaped high into the air as If they too were happy to join in with the merrymaking. This continued until midnight.
 After the return from Yale field yes terday afternoon the different classes separated and went to the houses oi the various professors about town, by whom they had been instructed. Tine professors were lustily cheered and re- sponded with brief speeches in which they welcomed the graduates back tc this city.

FOUND STICK OF DYNAMITE.
Probable Attempt to Blow Up Hartford
 Postofice Addition.

Hartford, June 2S.-Edgar L. Laub. superintendent of the new construction work going on at the postoffice in this city, tonight officially notified the Un- tied States treasury department of the finding of stick of dynamite at the base of the new building opposite Ann erica row in State street
 Although Mir. Laub hardly believes that the stick was placed there with any criminal intent, he thought 1t best to have the matter investigated and &C., cordingly notified the authorities and 1t is probable that secret service men will be sent to this city in day or two. It is the opinion of some that the dynamite, which was large enough to wreck number of buildings was care lessly dropped there by some workman, although no one can be found who would have occasion to use dynamite in any form.
