termined to secure an early response and

1t is understood that Japan adheres close

lieved that If Russia fails to fairly meet

which is stronger than ever.

OPTIMISTIC VIEW IN PARIS.
Belief That Diplomacy Will Settle
Russo-Japanese Dispute.

PARIB, January 9.-Oficial adviceS re-
oeived here today further convince those in
the highest authority that the Russo-Japa-
nese war crisis has been averted. at least
for the present. and that the situation fs
again brought distinctly within the lines OF
diplomatic adjustment. Reports. chiefly
from Tokyo, but also from st. Petersburg.
give a clear view of the circumstances lead
ing up to the sudden improvement in the
situation. They show that the Russian
answer actually reached Tokyo the night
Of January g. and proved to be the turning
point. Prior to its receipt Japan had been
making strenuous preparations for sending
two divisions to southern Corea- The off,
cial reports establishing these preparations
are beyond the slightest question, but the
note received on the 9th disclosed to Japan
for the first time that Russia fully con-
ceded Japan's paramount rights in southern
Corea.~ Russia's concession thus gave Japan
practically what she had been preparing to
assert by force, and accordingly military
activity was suspended, as Russia's conces-
sion made Unnecessary Japan's forcible as
sertion of paramount position In southern
Corea.
Russia's Offer Considered.
The three days succeeding January gave
en- opportunity to the authorities at Tokyo
to consider and recognize Russia's conces-
sion. Whether it will be satisfactory the
reports have not yet disclosed. but the
suspension OF military activity is regarded
as removing the most dangerous aspect and
as giving hope that Japan is likely to re-
ceive Russia's answer in a conciliatory
spirit 1t is not known whether Russia 9
concession goes to the extent of relinquish-
Ing her contention for a neutral zone across
northern Corea, but 1t is understood that it
relates chiefly to giving definite assurance
or Japans rights in southern Corea.
Although reports of mediation continue
to circulate. the authoritative statement
was made today that no steps have been
taken by France toward mediating. It is
pointed out that such a movement, II ad-
dressed to japan, probably would originate
with Great Britain. owing to their closer
political relations.
Foreign Minister Delcasse Is expected to
return to Paris from Moe today or tomor-
row, but his coming is not significant, as
relating to the pending situation.
The entire official and diplomatic com
munity showed great relief today from
the severe strain Of recent days.

The Panama canal treaty was still under
consideration when the Senate committee
on foreign relations adjourned today. The
committee sat for two hours and then ad
journed until Monday with six articles Of
the agreement still unconsidered. The
major portion of todays session was devot-
ed to the consideration of suggestion by
Senator Bacon for amendments to the sec
tions relating to the joint commission for
the settlement Of damages which may be
caused to the owners of private property
by the construction of the canal Pro-
vision for this commission IL made in arti-
cies and Is. and az the treaty stands 1t re-
cuires that 1t shall be composed Of both
Americans and Panamans.
Mr.. Bacon suggests that the awards Of
this commission shall not be final. as pro-
vided by the treaty, but that there shall be
an appeal to some tribunal which shall be
composed entirely Of Americans.
The point was discussed at length, but
was not passed upon.

parting ships exchanged loud salutations
with their countrymen on the docks or on

knowledged that they were in the dark re-
