NEW YORK IMPORTERS TAKE ACTION
ASK THE STATE DEPARTMENT TO
END TROUBLE BY RECOG-
MIXING JiMlNEZ.

Washington Jan. 15-The state de-
partment is in receipt of some very
energetic protests from large import
ing houses in New York against the
action Of the provisional governments
in San Domingo, who interfere with
legitimate trade by paper bloekades.
Acting Secretary Loomis has received
which is that at this particular season,
when. the sugar crop is about to be
marketed, the recognition OF these
blockades would nave a most per-
nicious influence on American inter
ests, as most of the sugar is marketed
here 1t is further declared that every
port in San Domingo except the cap
ital is in the possession of JimineZ
and that If the state department will
direct Minister Powell to extend rec
ognition to General Jiminez a speedy
termination will be put to the suicidal
strife now going on In the Dominican
republic
The department has come to no de-
termination as to the recognition oil
any of the parties in San Domingo
The last advice is that there are no
less than two provisional governments
and one revolutionary government III
full swing at this moment. Therefore
ii is disposed TO continue to trust to
the discretion of Minister Powell. As
a further protection to American inter
ests the cruiser Columbia Of the train
irg squadron, according TO navy de
partment advices, has left Guantanamo
for Santo Domingo city, increasing the
United States naval representation IN
those waters to three ships.

influence in Korea are insisted upon
Minister Hayashi said to a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press:
so far as can see the relations OF
the two powers regarding the dispute
practically are unchanged. | have no
indication of the reception this note
Is likely to meet at the hands OF the
Russian government. but | expect the
negotiations will continue for several
weeks"
A private dispatch from Toxic, re-
ceiyed at one of the embassies from
source considered quite reliable, says
that in spite of all reports to the con-
trary the Japanese troops will not be
thoroughly prepared to start for Korea,
OH the scale desired in the event OF
such a step being considered neces-
sary, before the first week in Febru-
ary. This is considered significant in
conjunction with Baron Hayashi's es-
innate that the negotiations are likely
to extend for three weeks longer and
supplying an additional reason for
Japan answering in pacific terms. 1t is
also pointed out that in three weeks
Japans new cruisers will be prac-
tically out of all danger.
Several of the diplomats here do not
share the British foreign office com
plete pessimism, believing Russia VIII
give in at the last moment.

HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
Russian Officials Will Not Discuss Chi
nese-American Treaty.

ST. Petersburg. Jan. 15.-The Rus
sian press, generally speaking, is pre-
serving silence regarding the Chinese
American treaty and efforts to elicit
an official view have proved unsuccess-
full.
The Novoe Vremya, referring TO the
Far Eastern situation, declares Russia
will not accept Japan's challenge until
all peaceable eypedients are exhaust
ed, adding:
eff war comes Europe should under
stand that it will mark the beginning
OF a great struggle between Christian
ity and heathenism. the results OF
which will be felt in all the corners OF
the earth"
The Russ has begun an open po-
lemic against war. declaring war
would not afford a solution Of the prob
lem and that a continuation OF Russia
present policy means the creation OF
an Eastern strategic frontier requir-
ing the same constant protection as
the Western frontier
The Russ advocates the sale 10
China of the railway from Harbln TO
Port Arthur. The paper has treated
this suggestion with great considera-
ton without hitherto taking a positive
stand. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the extreme view finds approval
among the large majority OF the edu-
Gated public of Russia

TREATY WILL BE AMENDED.
Senators Not Satisfied With Parts of
Canal Convention.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The senate
committee on foreign relations consld-
cred an amendment to the Panama ca
nal treaty directed to obtaining for
the United States greater concessions
in regard to the jurisdiction over the
harbors adjacent to the cities OF Pan
anna and Colon. These harbors are
within the canal zone, described in the
treaty, but it is provided that they
shall not be included in the grant OF
the zone TO the United States In per
petuity The phraseology Of the amend
ment was discussed at length and it
was agreed it would have to be per
fected before the amendment can be
accepted Both the Democratic and
Republican members of the committee
admit that the treaty does not guard
the interests of the United States as
fully as could he desired in the matter
of harbor privileges. IL Is believed
the amendment in another form Will
be accepted by the committee when II
meets again.

BRITISH OFFICIAL OPINION OF

IN REGARD TO KOREA AND
MANCHURIA.

London, Jan. 15-The British for
eign officials said, after reading the
Japanese reply TO the last Russian
note, that it only takes the crisis a
step further in a less hopeful direc-
ton. The advices received by the for
eign Office made them fear that Russia
would not accept Japan's reiterated
demands.
In regard 10 the reports from Paris
of the possible Intervention OF Great
Britain and France the foreign office
says no such steps are on foot, so far
as can be ascertained. No request has
BEEN received from either Russia or
Japan for such action and the foreign

IN ATTEMPT TO AVERT WAR.
Certain Powers Decide to Tender Good
Offices.

Paris, Jan. 15.-The intention on
the part OF certain European powers
TO f1nd means to prevent the Russo
Japanese controversy drifting into
actual war has begun to assume def
mite proportions, though until now
these means were confined to an ex-
change of views between the cabinets
as TO what course was desirable and
II can be asserted positively that no
tender OF mediation or good offices
has yet been made to Japan or Rus
ala. 1t is the accepted view that a
grave moment which would warrant
representations from the outside has
not been reached.
In the meantime The cabinets of
London ard Paris have arrived at a
quite clear understanding as to what
will be done ii the eventuality of war
becomes imminent. This will not be
by a tender of mediation, as this is
considered to be too extreme a step
in diplomatic procedure when two of
the foremost powers are the principal
disputants. The form of the repre-
sentations will be that known in dip
lOmatic usage as tender OF good
Offices This consists mainly in Civ
ing friendly advice for the main
tenauce of peace. In the present case
1t is likely to include rather definite
suggestions that the outside powers
consider that the main questions caus-
ing the present differences are entire
ly susceptible to pacific adjustment.
How far the other cabinets OF Europe
and the United States will give moral
or actual support to the friendly rep
reservations is an open question. as
the exchange OF views have thus far
been confined mainly to London and
Paris: but throughout the exchanges
there has been a strong sentiment
that the united influence OF Europe
and the United States should give al
least moral support to the efforts TO
avert a conflict

Strike Of Chicago Livery Drivers Be
aims Anew.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The strike OF liv.
cry drivers began anew during the
day, after a truce of fifteen days, fol
lowing the lroquois theater fire. Nine
ty-fve per cent Of the 1000 drivers OF
carriages and hearses are said to be
out and once more the black under
takers wagons were put into service
in lieu of hearses at funerals, while
mourners were obliged to resort again
To the street cars in journeying to the
cemeteries. Failure of employers and
employees TO agree on wage scale was
the cause of the resumption of the
strike.
To avoid the distressing interfer
ence with the burial of the dead, wit
messed at the beginning OF the strike
a modification of the strike order was
made and before the day was oyel
hearses manned by union drivers were
at the disposal of every liveryman in

THEODORE RoosEVELrPARKER
Assigned by Request to the BattIeship
 Ohio.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The bureau of navigation to-day received a request from Representative Bell, of the See ond congressional district of California, for the enlistment in the navy and as- alignment to the battleship Ohio of a constituent of his named Theodore Roosevelt Parker. The applicant, it ap- pears. really bears the name of Theo- dore Roosevelt Parker, and it was not recently assumed, as is shown by the fact that the records of the marine corps disclose his enlistment under that name at Seattle, Wash, July 12, 1902. Parker was born in San Francisco and was maehinist when he enlisted in the marine corps. His father bore the same name. It is said that the family is a branch of an old Pennsylvania family of Roseyelts, not connected in any way with that of President Roosevelt. Rep resentative Bells request will be granted.
