commissioned officers Of the English
army. The troopers will be composed
of Arabs and native Saharans, who are
among the finest riders in the world. J"

st. Petersburg, Jan. 20.--The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent on high
authority, Is able to give the following
as the present status OF negotiations be-
tween Russia and Japan:
Russia recognizes Japans predomi-
nance in Corea and Japan recognizes
Russia's special position in Manchuria
There are two main questions still
at issue, the Russian demand for Fl
neutral zone upon the Corean side OF
the Yalu river, which Japan met with
proposal for similar neutral strip
ON the Manchurian side. Japan also
asks for certain guarantees covering
Manehuria, which Russia has thus far
declined to grant. 1t is pointed ont,
however, that the assurance given few
days ago by Russia regarding open
ports in Manchuria and respect for
treaty rights is concession on this
point.
That the two countries are not 80 far
apart may be fairly inferred from the
following statement made by Mr.. Kur-
inc, the Japanese minister TO the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent:
"War now would only be disastrous
to both countries. Owing to the geo.
graphical situation, an armed conflict
would result In a great drain on the
men and treasury of both Japan and
Russia, without being decisive. Be-
sides, | believe IL would not be worth
while TO go TO war on the questions
still in dispute"

Secretary Hay Replies to Recent
Note Of Colombia.
AMERICA SAYS is NOT UNrRIENDLY
Panama Res oxnIzsd When Independence
VAS csrtain--wsIl Not Refer Matter
to tbs Hague Court.

Washington, Jan. 20. --- President
additional correspondence touching the
relations Of the United Stat with Co
lombia and Panama, covering the peri
cd from December %, 1908, to January
o last. A statement of grievances on
the part Of Colombia wac presented 10
the state department by General Reyes
on December 90. General Reyes says
the course Of the United States had
worked deep injury to Colombia, and
he cited the treaty Of 1916 as showing
that the independence and sovereignty
nf Colombia was To be mainiai Ell in
tact by the two governments.
Secretary Hay answered this note
under date Of January 5. He says the
government has carefully considered the
grave complaints made and assures
General Reyes Of our most friendly
sentiments for the government and PEG
pile OF Colombia. The question sub
mitted, he says, can be considered only
In the light of accomplished facts, of
which one is that the republic Of Pana-
~
OF nations.
Under date Of January Q, General
Reyes submits another note to Secre-
tary Hay, in which he says he has
transmitted Secretary Hays answer to
his government by cable, The secre-
tary's note Is construed, he says, as an
intimation that the Colombia forces
will be attacked by the United States
on entering the territory of Panama to
subdue the rebellion, and for that reas-
on it would hold the government of the
United States for all damages to it by
the loss of that national territory. A
REPETITION is made OF the position of
the Colombian government under the
treaty OF 1s46, and it Is requested that
the first note OF General Reyes be made
public.
Replying to this on January 8, Sec
rotary Hay Gays that he finds almost
all the propositions brought forward
in the second note have been considered
and fully answered in his note OF the
9th of January.
Under date of January IL, General
Reyes addressed Secretary Hay, stat
ing that he finds his arguments had not
been refuted by the otherwise forceiul
papers which he had received He
then discusses at some length his prop
osition to refer the matter to The
Hague and concludes with a regret on
the failure OF his mission to the United
States.
Secretary Hay answers this note I'M
der date Of January l3 with the state
ment that there is no reason to recon-
slider the attitude Of the United States
heretofore set forth.

NOT A JuNKHrsNo TRIP.


Washington, Jan. 20.-Accounts rem.
dered to the senate by Senator Mitchell
show that the subcommittee which Wis.
tied Hawaii in the summer of 1902 ex.
pended only $1,000 in gathering and
formulating data and information fol-
the benefit Of the senate.
This would scarcely justify the as
sertion that the trip of the subcommit-
tee ON territories was "junket," for,
considering the distance Travelled and
the amount of information collected, II
is, without doubt. one of the cheap
est investigations ever conducted by a
subcommittee from congress.
But OF the total amount $3.50 was
paid out as steamship fare for the mem
bers Of the party from San Francisco to
Honolulu and return, and 81 .026 was
disposed of In settling the hotel account
az Honolulu.

READY TO BLOW UP RAILROAD.
Japanese Spies All Along the Siberian
Line are Awaiting DEVELOPMENTS.

Liverpool, Jan. 14.-An interesting
statement, in conjunction with the
stragetic value of the trans Siberian
railroad was made today by Fulford
Bush, member of a British mercan-
tile firm at New Chwang. Addressing
the Liverpool chamber of commerce,
Mr.. Bush, after covering the question
OF the light construction of the railway
and the probability of the line being
blocked If subjected to heavy military
traffic, said his own observations,
coupled with trustworthy native infor-
nation, convinced him that at least 200
Japanese military engineers, disguised
as Chinese coolies, BARRIERS and other
menials, had already been distributed
at points along the railroad, and it
would not be fortnight after the de-
claration of war before the line would
be blown up in dozen places.

IN JOINT SESSION.
National Conventions Of Sheep ard Cat
tIemen Meet In Harmony.

Portland, Jan. 1.-THE delegates to
the National Woogrowers' and Nation
al Livestock conventions met In JOINT
session yesterday morning and the two
big organizations we're heartily well
coined to Oregon and Portland by rep
resentative men OF the state and city.
The Livestock association formally
opened it's annual meeting and the
Woolgrowers, after lengthy business
session in the afternoon, adjourned sine
die. More than q thousand delegates
to the two conventions from every sec
ton Of the United States thronged the
Baker theater from pit to gallery. The
house rang with repeated bursts OF ap-
plause in response to addresses upon
questions of vital interest to the two
organizations. Sbeepmen and cattle
raisers met upon common ground, with
common interests at heart, and dis
cussed ways and means OF securing
mutual benefits.
The morning session was devoted to
program OF entertainment, including
music and addresses OF welcome and
responses. In the afternoon the wool
growers met alone and completed the
business of their meeting. Common
interests of the woolgrowers and manu-
facturer were discussed. The condition
of the mutton sheep market was thor
oughly presented by representatives OF
the markets. Resolutions were adopted
favoring legislation that the sheepmen
deem to be beneficial to their industry,
and officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: Senator e. E. War
rem, of Wyoming, president; Jesse M.
Smith, Utah, first vice president;
George Truesdale, Maryland, second
vice president; Mortimer lowering, In
diana, secretary, the treasurer to be Sc
lected by the executive committee.
The convention decided to meet in
conjunction with the livestock men
next year at such place as the latter
convention should decide upon. San
Jose, California, appears to be in the
lead for the next convention of the two
organization, though Denver has a
strong backing. An effort is being
made to have the convention decide
upon permanent meeting place,
where all succeeding meetings may be
held. 1t is generally conceded that
should this motion prevail, Denver
will be selected as permanent head
quarters.
The Livestock convention will begin
its work proper this morning, and
three days will be devoted to earnest
consideration of many questions of vital
importance

RUSSIA CANNOT YIELD.
Reply OF Japan Contains Several OBJ
jectlonabIe Features.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 19.-It is almost
practically certain that Russia will not
accept Japan's last proposal as an en-
tirety. Russia is ready to agree to
certain points, but on others, the for
eign office believes Russia cannot yield.
The officials believe that the way is
open for continuing the negotiations,
and there is no indication that Russia
will seek to delay her answer which
probably will be ready in few days.
The car continues to talk peace
and the dowager czarina, in conversa-
ton, remarked: "War is horrible
thing. There will be no war"
In the meantime, Viceroy Alexieff
and Baron de Rosen, as well as the for
eign office, are studying the Japanese
document. Army and navy circles con-
tinue pessimistic. The best feature of
the situation is the fact thai the Jap
anese reply has in no sense the char
acter of an ultimatum. 1t is couched
in pacific terms, does not fix a time
limit, and the acceptance by Russia of
certain of the propositions therein
marks an advance toward a settlement.
