st. Petersburg, Jan. 28.-The ex-
changes regarding the Russian re-
Spouse to the Japanese note are still
progressing and the foreign Office an
swers that there is no change in the
situation. The Japanese legation does
not credit the report from Toxic that
japan has requested Russia to hasten
her reply. NJ Kurino, the Japanese
minister has received no instructions
on the subject. On the contrary he
apparently realizes that the delay is
consequent upon exchanges between
st. Petersburg, Viceroy Alexieff and
Baron De Rosen, the Russian minister
at Toxic. M. Kurino reiterates his
opinion that Japan will not press Rus
STA for a reply
The admiralty insists that the move
ments Of Russian ships in the neigh
borhood of Port Arthur are entirely
without significance, saying in expla-
nation that they are probably merely
routine changes of station and certain

collision. A prominent admiral said
in an interview: .The admiralty be-
ieves in the peaceful termination of
the negotiations. Some of our ships
in the far East are still in reserve.
The steps now being taken should be
described as precautionary, rather
than warlike preparations. Some of
the Russian newspapers are again be-
coming bellicose. The Bourse Gazette
declares tlPat Russia has reached the
parting of the ways and must now
choose her position and maintain it.

peril contending it to be the duty OF

attitude Russia is not going to be in

British thinkers have been deeply impressed by
the fact that there we're more lives lost by murder
in three years in this country than the entire loss
the British side in the BOer war. But the reasons
seem to have escaped our critics. Thus Sir Conan
DON e, through the N. z Sunday World, says:
The Law is loosely administered. presume the
trouble 20 be that judges not free as they are
here; they Influenced By political motives; there
is pull hither and thither and justice is not ad
ministered."
Quite otherwise the facts. The prevalence Of
murder is partly due to surviving frontier c0ndi-
tOns partly to race ieuds in the South, partly to
the admixture Of alien races By immigration.
But is not true that judges are generally less free
or more influenced by political motives than in Eng
land In character and In ability the Amer
ican bench ranks very high. The trouble, 80 far 90
it is in the courts and not inherent in the conditions
we have mentioned, is due to the facility Of vexat
ious appeals due to 'laWyer made law and to de-
lays caused by the overcrowding Of dockets. In
the words Of the great Charter, Deither ''sell'
nor "denyn justice. We do "delayn it, which is
in effect denial Of justice. A further obstacle TO-
convictions for murder is the prejudice against cap
ital punishment, which has affected legislation IN
some states and which in ell the states renders it in
oreasingly difficult to secure conviction.
