WHAT'S GOING ON.
FIVE MINUTES WITH THE BIG
NEWS OF THE WORLD.
Peace or War the Issue.

A crisis is at hand in the Eastern ques-
tion, and within a few days it Will be
known whether the issue is peace or war.
The reply which Russia is TO make TO Ja-
pans latest note is now before the car for
his approval and Will be sent to Toxic very
shortly. IL is announced that this reply
will represent Russia's extreme conces-
sions TO Japan, and If these are not suffi-
cient everything indicates that Japan will
quickly appeal to arms. Japan has sad
that her demands last made known repre-
seuted an '.irreducible minimum" which
means that they must be accepted by Rus
sia without change. II is understood that
Japan asks Russia 10 recognize her para
mountcy in Corea, that she agrees to rec
ognize Russia's paramountcy in Manchu-
ria, but that she asks Russia to bind her
self by treaty not to interfere with the po-
litical integrity OF either Corea or China
tmeaning Manchuria) and that the trade
OF both territories is to be open to the
world. At st. Petersburg the Impression
is given out that Russia will so far meet
Japan's demands that the world would not
justify Japan II she were TO take up arms
for the matters remaining unsettled. At
Toxic firmness prevails and disposition
to pin Russia down now while the oppor-
tunity is open. War preparations continue
on both sides.

Candlemas day, Tuesday, dawned
bright and clear enough TO scare more

of two winters in one year. A promised
duplicate of the last two months was not
ardently looked for, and a clouded sky
would have cleared the brows OF many
householders, whose supply OF hay and
fuel call for an early spring. That the
afternoon was cloudy and trifie stormy
gave a little hope that the troublesome
woodehuck (may his shadow grow less ~
might have oversight till he could emerge
without alarming himself or any one
else

.Ioe Rean Sentenced.

Joe Bean, convicted OF murder in the
second degree IN the killing OF Ephraim
O. Root was sentenced on Wednesday
afternoon of last week to imprisonment
for life. The case goes TO supreme court
on exceptions and pending these the
execution OF the sentence is deferred and
respondent will be confined in Wood
stock jail.
SAYS the Rutland Herald :-'Joseph
Bean was found guilty of murder IN the
second degree at Woodstock en- circum-
stantial evidence. The theory of the state
was that the murder was the result of
jealousy. In that case there must have
been premeditation. A premeditated
murder would be murder in the first de-
gree. The verdict appears to have been a
compromise. The jury could not tell from
the evidence the details of the deadly as
sault upon Root, and they were conse-
quently in no position TO assert an unpre-
meditated assault or an act within the rule
which grades it as murder Of the second
degree"
Says the Free Press, bitter opponent OF
dealing lightly with criminals:-"lf the
truth could be known 1t would undoubt-
edly be discovered that Joseph Bean, who
was recently sentenced at Woodstock to
life Imprisonment for the murder OF Eph-
RAIN Root in West Rochester, Is already
counting on executive clemency. That an
attempt will probably be made some time
in the not distant future to secure a par
don for this dastardly assassin does not
need to be demonstrated to those who are
acquainted with the recent criminal annals
of our state
