THIS LOOKS LIKE WAR.
Jnpan's Patience Is Rapidly Coming
to an End

Toxic, Jan. 1. 19O4.-The situation is
growing extremely critical, and it is
believed the chances for war are great
er than ever before.
Peace hinges on the character of
Russia's response. If the Russian re-
ply is unsatisfactory, it is almost GER
tain Japan win fight Immediately. If
Russia desires peace, her position will
be difficult to maintain, for the Japa-
nese ere distrustful OF her promises.
II Russia's response is delay for a
week, it is expected that Japan will
demand an Immediate answer.
The announcement that Russia is
seeking naval stations in Corea, buy
ing stores in America and buying coal
in Japan has increased the war spirit
of the Japanese nation. Influential
newspapers are urging the government
to promptly dispatch fleet to guard
the Corean coast and patrol the CO.
rean channel.
Full plans for the campaign of the
army and navy have been prepared,
and the scheme of land and water
transportation completed. The thor
oughness of Japans preparations is
pronounced superior to that of Ger
many prior to the Franco-Prussian
war.

JOY IN new YEAR
wRESTED FROM CHICAGO BY TER
RIBLE DISASTER.
CITY A HOUSE OF MOURNING.
NO OVERWHELMING TO MARK THE
HOLIDAY SEASON.

Chicago, Dec. S1.-F'or the first time
since Chicago has possessed bells to
peal, whistles to Shrek and horns To
blow. the Old Year was allowed ST.
lently to take it's place in history. and
the New Year permitted to come with
no evidence of joy at it's birth.
In an official proclamation, issued this
AFTERNOON by Mayor Carter H. Harri-
son. he made the suggestion that the
usual New Years Eve celebration be
for this time omitted. The idea found
a ready response in the hearts of the
people, and the Mayors words in fact
only gave utterance to the unexpress-
ed thought tl.af hnf. flied ,tnem ain
Ordinarily on New Years Eve the
streets of the city are filled with mer-
ry-makers, but tonight the only
throngs to be found were those around
the morgues; ordinarily, numbers of
fashionable restaurants in the heart of
the city are filled with light-hearted
jewellers, who toast the year that passes
and hail the year that comes. Tonight
these places were comparatively de-
serted, and some of them closed en-
tirely, with doors locked, and curtains
drawn. Usually among these gay peo-
pie are found many members of the
theatrical profession. Tonight not a
single one of them was in evidence.
In addition to his proclamation issued
during the afternoon, suggesting that
the usual New Years festivities be
abandoned, Mayor Harrison tonight
made the announcement that all de-
partments of the City Hall will be
closed on Saturday. Jan. @ on account
of the calamity at the Iroquois Theater.
He made the request that all business
houses throughout the city also close
on that day.
Estimates of the Dead.
The list of dead continues as it was
given out last night, in the neighbor-
hood of 560. It is generally accepted
at this time that the most accurate
estimate is 564. This number will be
increased somewhat, as there are peo-
pie in the hospitals who cannot sur
vive for any length of time. 1t is he
lieved, however, that the total number
of dead will not in any event exceed
SIS.
Including the missing, it is estimated
that the total number of casualties at
the present time is Approximately
1000.
There are among the missing the
names of many who are at their
homes and of some who were not at
the theater at all. In the first excite
ment following the calamity, these
people were reported by their rela-
tives as among the missing, and num-
bers of them have since returned to
their homes, and no report of this fact
has been made to police headquarters.
The names, however, still swell the
LIST Of the missing. when the names
of the dead who are, still to be identi-
fed have been subtracted from the list
Of the missing, it is probable that the
extent Of the catastrophe will be fully
revealed.
