CURED by treaty with China or Korea.
In word it is probably the fact that
Japan has asked no more OF Russia
than confirmation by international
compact Y Of declarations repeatedly
and uneQuivocally made by Russia her
self regarding the unselfish nature Of
her motives with reference to Man
churia. Russia's reply has evidently
been a surprise and Disappointment
to Japan. 1t is now generally under
stood that Russia has virtually re-
fused to discuss the situation in Man
churia and has proposed something in
the nature Of a neutral zone in North
erp Korea, on the Manchurian from
tier, extending as far as Wongtan on
the east and Pingyang on the west
| It is difficult to perceive how Japan
| could possibly accept this proposal.
| To consent to the indefinite prolonga-
| ton of Russia's stay upon the borders
| of Korea and to the naturalization OF
nearly one.third of the latter's terri
tory would be fatal menace to the
independence of Korea, which Japan
must defend at all costs, as the safety
| of the peninsula, which is the outpost
! of her line OF defense, is indispensi-

tons with the United States and Japan
, with respect to the opening of those
places to the commerce of the world.
So also as regards Korea, it is nov
/ known that the joint efforts of Great
Britain, the United States and Japan
to open the Yalu to foreign commerce
at large were on the eve of success
when the Russian occupation Of Yon-
gampho blocked the plan for the time
being. These and similar events in
Korea and Manchuria justify the ap-
prehersion that if affairs are permit
ted to proceed uninterruptedly in their
present course large part of the
shores Of the Yellow sea, not to men
ton the interior of Manchuria, will be
closed to the commerce of the civilized
world. 1t is of vital Importance to
japan that this should not happen and
it is plain that the final issue depends
solely upon Russia's willingness to
recognize this fact

Chicago, Jan. 6.-With the exception
of six or possibly seven theaters all

Immediately scaled to a limit Of 1000

be amended, according to Alderman
Mavor, leader of the council and q
member Of the special committee on
theaters. The number of playhouses
affected is thirty. Theaters on the
second or higher story must come
down to the ground and theater on

will be to cut the aggregate seating
capacity Of Chicago theaters by 10000
