TROOPS TO DISEMBARK
Japanese Minister Says Twill Be Done
in Three DAYS,

London, Feb. 8.-Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister, states that the
military steps contemplated by Japan
for the preservation Of it's interests in
the far east already have commenced.
The minister was careful to point
out, however. that this does not mean
actual hostilities, but strategic action
thru pouring Japanese troops into
Korea and Manchuria. This, he
states, is now in progress.
Baron Hayashi calculates that
forces adequate to meet any emergen-
cy will have aheen fully disembarked
within two or three days. He regards
the breaking off Of negotiations as
tantamount to war and does not look
for any formal declaration. The min
lister reiterates the statement that the
Russian reply was not delivered and
declares his belief to be that it never
was sent.

QUESTION WHICH THE LAWMAK.
ERs WILL BE ASKED TO
q CONSIDER.
PARTYLEADERs WILL CONSULT
IT, THEY APPROVE OF THE PLAN
THE SPECIAL SESSION WILL
BE CALLED.

Washington, Nov. ia special ses.
sion of congress, to be held in the
spring, for the purpose OF considering
bill providing notifications in the
present dingley tariff law, is strong
probability. The only thing that can
prevent it is objection by a majority
of the Republican leaders in the
house and senate. If an agreement
can be reached between the president
and the leaders for definite plan of
action, the former will assemble con.
eress in extraordinary session soon
after his Inauguration in March of
next year and for no reason other
than to reduce the rates in many of
the schedules of the present act.
IS This Discriminate
on the part of the president is not of
recent origin. He came to the con-
clusion several months ago that in the
event of his election and Republican
control of the house in the Fifty.
ninth congress his first official act, af-
ter the appointment of his new cabi-
net, would be to issue call for the
national lawmakers to assemble in ex-
traordinary session. This will be done
only if it has the approval of the lead
ers of congress. The presidents po-
sition in favor Of a modification of the
tariff is candidly expressed to Rcpub-
lican callers at the White. House. AS
soon as the leaders arrive the ques-
ton
Will Be canvassed
in a conference to be held at the
White House. If a special session is
to be called a program will be mapped
out during the winter. The Repub-
lican members of the committees hav.
ing to do with revenue matters will
draft a bill calling for reductions
along lines publicly discussed during
the past few years, and such measure
will be passed practically as reported.
This is the situation as it stands to-
day. While President Roosevelt has
his own idea as to the course that
should be followed, he will hold full
! and free conference with party lead.
ers Immediately upon their arrival
here. The only consideration that
can dissuade him from carrying out
his purpose is objection on the part of
a majority of the leaders.
