JAPAN
INSISTS ON
REPLY.

Paris. Jan 27.-Officlal advices received
here from st. Petersburg show that For
eign Minister Lamsdorf before giving
Russias answer has called in the Japan
ese minister. NJ. Kurino. The two min
listers are now conferring. with the view
OF so shaping the response as 10 avoid
conflict
This Is considered to be an explanation
OF the dispatch from Toxic, saying Japan
AS Count Lamsdorf and NJ Kurino are
having conferences prior to the submis-
sion OF the reply II is regarded as evil
dence of Japan's insistenoe for an early
answer and OF Russia's desire to avoid a
response which might precipitate hostiii-
ties.
Count Lamsdorfs course in conferrins
with NJ. Kurtno before answering Is cited
as showing Russias willingness 10 go TO
the last limit in order TO avoid war. but
IL Is added II the efforts OF Russia fail
she will be prepared to strike very hard
blows from the outset.
CRISIS CONTINUES ACUTE
All information reaching the highest
quarters here tends to snow that the
crisis continues acute. It appears to be
the accepted conviction In governmental
circles that the final determination be-
tween peace and war cannot be long de-
ferred. The officials continue to hope
for peace, but they make the reserva-
ton that the discouraging aspect which
the situation assumed during the last
few days has not ameltorated.
A categorical denied m given so far
as France is concerned to the Pekin re-
port that the French minister is taking
part in negotiations with the view OF the
mediation OF France, Great Britain and
the United States Foreign Minister Del
casse has not given any instructions TO
the minister at pekin nerrnttting ex-
changes OF that character and the min
ister has not reported such a movement
That portion OF the report representing
France as being behind Russia in urging
mediation and the United States and
Great Britain as opposed to mediation
Is construed here as an effort to create
the impression that Great Britain and
the United States together ana a part of
France, whereas the officials maintain
that there has not been the slightest
divergence OF formation OF any political
groups between the powers OF Europe
and America, concerning the means OF
avoiding a conflict.

COTTON
MARKET
ACTIVE.

New York, Jan. 27.--Great activity de-
veloped In the cotton market today after
II had opened comparatively quiet and
somewhat easier under lower. cables.
First prices were very irregular at an
advance OF six points TO a decline OF six
points.
For the first few minutes liquidation In
the absence OF bull support caused de-
clines OF about eight 10 ten points In the
three active months but these were fol-
lowed by steadier tone which became
decided strength as the session pro-
gressed, so that by midday all the active
months had advanced TO new high levels
with March selling at 1874. May at 1913
and July at 1868.
This was a gain OF Sass points from
the lowest OF the morning.

CRACKED VOICES.
Lack of Muscular Control Is What
Causes the Break.

A Lack of Muscular Control Is What
Causes the Break.
The pitch of the human voice de-
pends primarily upon the number of
vibrations per second of the vocal
cords, and these, in their turn, depend
on the length, size and degree of ten
sion of the cords, which increase in
length with the growth of the larynx.
One of the deepest bass notes, from
the greater length of the cords, has
only eighty double vibrations a second,
while soprano voice can give 992
such vibrations in the same time.
The size of lads larynx is, roughly,
that of woman's, but when the pip
ing schoolboy is shooting up into man.
hood his larynx grows rapidly and the
vocal cords become elongated nearly in
the proportion of three and a half to
two. The cartilages by which their
tension is regulated also share in this
growth, as is seen by the swelling of
the so called adams apple"
Now, all these parts do not increase
with equal rapidity; hence the muscu-
lar control, which must be very exact,
is rendered uncertain and the voice is
said to "break." A similar change
takes place in the case of women, but
very much less in amount, and a fur
ther compensation in the formation of
the upper part of the larynx serves to
disguise the effect.

COLUMBUS CREWS.
One EngIishman and One Irishman
Were Among Their Number.

One EngIishman and One Irishman
Were Among Their Number.
An Englishman and an Irishman
were among the sturdy 120 ad-
venturers who sailed with Columbus
in the three small hundred tonners.
This may have been due to the well
known fact that nothing brings men of
different races together more than
maritime and commercial enterprise,
or, still more probably, because they
were swept in at PaloS. when Column
bus put the press gang to work, as he
was authorized to do by Ferdinand
and Isabella.
The names of these men, as given
by Navarrete, were Jallarte de Lajes,
Ingles probably Arthur Lake, Eng
lish), and Guillermo Tres, naturel de
Galney, en- Irlanda (probably William
Herries or Rice, native of Galway, in
IrelanO.
These two men were among the
forty whom Columbus left behind in
the fort constructed in Hispaniola be-
fore he sailed for Europe, who all met
their death at the hands of the natives
before the great discoverer returned,
owing to their disregard of his express
directions.
