PEACE OR WAR DEPENDS
ON ATTITUDE OF JAPAI

ST. Petersburg. Jan. 3O.-The au-
thorities here now gay that the Eus.
sian reply to Japan will not be trans
mitted until next v eek.
1t is said that the delay was nee.
essitated in consequence of the ex.
treme care taken in drafting the doc.
ument. Viceroy Alexieff's views are
also awaited before its transmission
to the czar.
1t is fully realized here that the for
wardihg of the answer will mark an
other criticl stage in the negotiations
everything depending on Japan's atti-
tude. It is feared that despite pacific
Influences the hands of the authorities
may be forced on account of the ex-
citement of the press and people.
A high official said:
"Of course we cannot prevent war
Eussia viii do her utmost to offer ia
pan a Lasis for durable peace, but
there are limits beyond which We
cannot go. In Korea we grant prac-
tically everything and in Manchuria
we already recognize all the treaty
rights Of Japan and all the others
Should Japan reject our concilation
proposition. the world must place the
respons bility upon Japan"

GATHER
Believed Gibbons Will be
Made a Primate
at Meeting.

Washington, D. C, Jan 30-Will the
project Of creating a primary in the
United States be discussed by the
Roman Catholic archbishops now as
sembling in Washington for a special
meeting Of the American hierarchy?
This is the question that is Just now
uppermOst in the minds of the church
men and of large part of the general
public. The report that such is the
purpose of the present meeting of the
archbishops has been repeatedly de-
MED during the last few weeks, but
on the other hand the opinion is ex-
pressed by many persons we'll inform
ed in Catholic church matters that the
matter undoubtedly will receive atten-
ton. Those holding the latter view
base their belief largely on the recent
reports from Rome to the effect that
Pope Plus has expressed the opinion
that it would be very much better for
the churches of the English-speaking
countries to manage Ihelr own bust
ness without interference from Rome.
In other words, His Holiness is under
stood to have proposed to grant home
rule to the Catholics of the United
States and Australia. AS the situation
Is viewed in Catholic circles here il
would be necessary to appoint a pri-
mary before this plan could be carried
out in the United States.
The present scheme of governing
the affairs of the Catholic church in
this country is regarded as out Of date
and its workings in many particulars
are unsatisfactory. For instance, ev
lery time priest has a grievance or a
bishop has trouble with mis- flock OF
his subordnates he rushes Immediate
lily to the Vatican with charges ano
complaints. Every time new cOllegt
is to be started or any other plan pro
posed, it is necessary for somebcd!
to go to Rome and ask permission, al
though there are plenty Of bishops ant
archbishops, and at least one cardiaa
, in the United States, not to mention
a personal representative of the SOY
, lereign pontif in Washington, who il
supposed to have full power.
