Some years ago Japan was neither so
free nor so friendly with other nations
as she is today In those old days,
when n foreign ship entered the Japa-
ncse ports. the captain was obliged TO
place his Bible and rudder In charge
of the chief officer of the port and
leave them there until he WAS ready
to sail. OF course he wouldn't sail
without either. and the Japs could
easily keep tabs on the movements Of
all ships in their harbors.

\ JAP WAR VESSELS SAIL.
Brand New Ships Commanded and
 Manned by Europeans.


 Genoa. Jan. s-When it became known that the Niasin and Kasaga, which war ships were built here for the Argentine republic and purchased by Japan, would depart tonight. there was great excite ment throughout the town. Crowds of people fiocked to the harbor to bid fare well to the ships of whose strength and speed they are justly proud.
 An especial interest centers in the Warships, too, because both of their crews will be Italians and because the engines are entirely of Genoese construc- tion.
 Contrary to what has been asserted the Mash and Kasaga have kept the Jap anese colors hoisted from the moment they were transferred to the Japanese authorities. The vessels are commanded by two Englishmen, Captain Boyle and Captain Lee. and the other officers are also Engllshmen with the exception Of five Japanese. The crews, numbering OO men to each ship. are about equally di- vided between Italian and English na- tionality.
 One hundred and twenty English artil- Ierymen embarked on the vessels last night The commanders of the ships have received sealed orders which will be opened on the high seas.
 At the last moment the departure of the warships was delayed to await the receipt of money from the Japanese le- gation at London, but it is expected the vessels will sail early tomorrow morn- ing

stand.
 Paris. Jan 8--Flfe diplomats are max ing inquiries as to the attitude Of the powers in case of war, that to be adopted by the United States being regarded as particularly important To representa- tive of the Associated Press the Japanese Minister said yesterday:
 '"rhe attitude of the United Staes will mean much. She had negotiated treaty with China for the opening of three ports in Manchuria to the commerce of the world. These ports have been occupied by Russia and thus her treaty rights have been violated.
 Japan is not guided by selfish motives, but is acting in the interest of all na- tions. I hope the United States will clear ly understand our position and will favor us with their support.
 The correspondent asked the Minister if he had lost all hope of peace.
 T never lose that hope" he replied.
 The Chinese legation claims to be witll- out information in regard to the attitude of China in the event of war. It was said that at the outset 1t was certaui that neutrality. would be proclaimed. but in case of Japanese victories 1t would not surprise the legation if the Chinese should cast their lot with Japan. This would seriously embarrass Russia, because of the danger of the interrup- tion of the Russian communications. The Chinese diplomats are opposed to war for the reason that whether Russia or Japan is the victor they fear final separation of territory. The action of the United States in sending marines to Seoul, Corea. is regarded here as being a significant indication of the trend of its sympathlcs and it is known to be gratifying to Japan.

 If 1t be true that Hanna really means to become a candidate. his announce nent will make Republican politics in Missouri wake up in hurry.

 Well, if he was not besmirched by the report, he was tattooed."
 MT. Teller said that the only sugges- tion of a political purpose of an investt- gation had come from the Republican side. It seemed to him the public interest alone should Sbe considered. So far as there had been an investigation 1t had come only as the result of influences out side the Postofi1ce Department and the public would never be satisfied until there had been an investigation by persons not likely to be besmirched by 1t. People gen. orally. he said. would demand that 1t shall be undertaken.
 'If 1t is not made in accordance with this demand" he said. you will hear such a rear as will make you tremble in your seats."
 By unanimous consent further consider ation of the investigation resolution was postponed until Monday, when it was agreed that it should be resumed imme- diately after the conclusion of the routine business.

MAY AVOID CONFLICT.
Russia's Latest Note Makes Conces- sions to Japan.

sions to Japan.
 Paris, Jan. s.--The Associated Press learns that in the opinion of the French Government there Is a chance of averting conflict between Russia and Japan as a result of concession made by Russia In her latest note. The dispatches which have come to Paris from all quarters to- day have been most pessimistic and the hopefulness of the Government Is in strong contrast with them.
 It appears that Russia's concession re- lates to the recognition of the preponder- ance of the interests of Japan in Corea- This has been the crux of the question between the two powers up to the pres ent moment. Just how far the concession goes it is impossible to learn. but the effect in Tokio,- according to the inforna- ton obtained, has been more satisfactory than the press dispatches show and 1t is believed the negotiations will continue.
 In connection with Rnssia's concession a curious and at the same time an author itative story is told referring ot the cause of the development of the present situa- ton. It appears that a misunderstanding occurred between Viceroy Alexleff and the Russian government and that the note antedating the one just submitted did not contain recognition of Japan's prepon- derating influence in part of corea as Russia and the whole world believed. The latest note of Russia clears up the situa- ton; but whether 1t recognizes Japanese preponderating interests in all Corea Is not known now.
 The French government denies the sem sationsi reports to the effect that 1t has ordered division of warships and troops to China. Only one French ship Is under instructions to proceed to the Far East. Recognizing the situation as dangerous. there Is talk in official diplomatic crcies of the advisability of separate or joint mediation by the powers who desire peace in the Far East. It Is said this properly could be done in accordance with The Hague convention. without giving offense to either Russia or Japan.
