. LEGATION IS ABANDONED
When the representative Of the
Associated Press called at the
Japanese legation this morning he
found a scene Of great confusion.
During the night, as if by magic,
all the Japanese art treasures,
bronzes and ivories had disap-
peared and the spacious salons
were hare
Servants and attaches, who had
been working all night, were still
b1sily engaged in packing papers
and archives. KurinO entered the
salon with his habitual quick and
nervous step. His bloodshot eyes
gave evidence that he had been d
stranger 10 sleep, but he displayed
the impassive characteristics of
his race and was without a trace
Of excitement There was an air
of firm resolution about him, how
ever, which was the only notice
able change IN his demeanOr.
Throughout the strain which
has Just passed the attitude of the
japanese Minister has been strict
" correct. He has been on good
terms personally with Count
Lamsdorf and the other Russian
officials. To-day, as is customary
with him, he was extremely reti-
cent and declined to offer. an ex-
planation Of the course of Japan,

pected that France will approach Great
Britain with the view of that power
making representations to Japan, while
France at the same time will make
representations to Russia in order to
prevent an outbreak of hostilities.
While it is admitted that a long step

The Japanese legation here has been

| diplomatic corps eager to obtain copies
OF Japan's official statement, in order
to notify their respective governments
When press representative called at
the legation tonight a member of the
British embassy was just leaving
Motono and the legation officials talked
freely. They did not appear to be de-
pressed, but rather confident and even
happy that a decision finally had been
taken.
1t was intimated that arrangements
had already been made for KurinO'S
departure from ST. Petersburg. 1t was
thought at first that he might come
to Paris, but it is the present intention
that he go to Berlin and there await
the final determination as to whether
he is to remain in Europe or return to
Japan.
MINISTER MOTONO TALKS.
Motono gave the press the statement
given heretofore as the best explana-
ton of the situation, but in addition
he said:
The Government statement clearly
shows that relations are at an end.
Whether or not this means war 1 am
the step. already taken is of the grav-
est character and one which may mean
war What result may come no one
can say at this time, but the reasons
for the action of the governments
should be distinctly understood.
1T is not true that Baron Komura,
the Japanese Foreign Minister, re-
ceived yesterday any note from Baron
de Rosen and therefore the action of
Japan in breaking off relations was not

the irritation created by the delay
in the Russian response, postponed
from day to day, together with
forecasts of what it contained,
might have convinced his Gov
ernment that it was futile to pro-
ceed further with dip plomacy.
KURINOSPEAKS IN SADNESS.
AS Kurino looked out of a win
dow at the legation, which faces
the Neva, not far from the Winter
Palace, he saw a battalion of the
Russian Imperial Guard, clad to
the heels in big overcoats and their
guns slung over their backs. He
showed no emotion at the sight.
He said, rather sadly, that the
rupture of diplomatic relations did
not necessarily mean war.
United States Embassador Nc
Cormick' was one of Kurino's
first callers this morning, and later
in the day other diplomats, among
whom the Minister is popular,
came to express to him their re-
grets at the turn affairs had taken.
In the afternoon Kurino and his
wife made a number of hurried
farewell calls, including one at
the American embassy.
Four cars are ready at the
Warsaw station for the Minister
and the legation staff. Kurino
will leave at the earliest possible
moment, but he probably will not
be able to get away before We'd

the Japanese legation, it is be-
lieved. will be turned over to the
British embassy, although it was
thought possible, in view of the
fact that Great Britain, as Japan's
ally, might be drawn into the
quarrel, that Mccormick might
take charge. Mccormick, how
ever, has received no Instructions
on this point. 1t is possible that

i ing. So had any teacher who depend

men, knowledge Of life, were infinitely
more important than knowledge that
could be obtained from books. To
know what to teach must be deter.
mined largely by circumstances and
conditions. II was Of the utmost ON.

the student should be developed along
the right line, that the pupil should

Der of general principles might be
laid down Independence should be
developed, the best qualities of the
mind should be trained, love of man
kind should be fostered and the teach
ings of patriotism should occupy a
prominent place in the curriculum OF
every school. The speaker had little
use. for one who cared nothing for
the principles of liberty and the tradi-
tions and history Of his country He
deplored the tendency SO apparent in
American life to malign those who
held office. For one faulty office hold
er. he said, there were hundred be-
yohd reproach. He had no fear OF
the future Of this country when its
government was directed by such q
wise and strong man as Theodore
Roosevelt.
With the second division Of his ad.
dress, How to Teach, Mr.. Cranston
turned to picture the materialistic ten.
dencies Of the age. He said that mod.
erns were determined to annihilate
space. They would cut a seaway
across continent and bring the pro
duce of the Orient to the doors of the
Occident They would telephone
around the globe. Steams feet were
leaden in these rapid days. America.
in common with other nations, was
pushing 20 wrest great material vic.
tories from the grasp of the age. What
Russia may do in Manchuria today or
Japan in Korea tomorrow was of al
much interest in Washington as in st.
Petersburg.

was right. II was. however, d fact,
