WALL STREET AND HANNA.
Continued Efforts to Induce Him to
Become a Candidate.

become CdnQ1QaC0.
The Wall street ani-Roosevelt men are
still laboriously at work trying to induce
Senator Hanna to take the field as a presi-
dental candidate.
Mr.. Hanna's closest associates say that
the senator has more to fear from the folly
OF over-zealous friends than from any other
source in his attempts to maintain an even
keel in these perilous political waters.
Senator Hannas position, according to
those closest to him. Is this: Hanna Is in
tent, first of all, upon assuring a republican
victory next fall. Whatever means and
whoever the candidate necessary to accom-
plish that will receive his support. At
present he looks upon the nomination OF
Roosevelt. for many reasons, as promising
the best prospect of republican success.
There has been some unrest among Roose-
welt republicans over the delay of Senator
Hanna, as chairman of the national COM
mittee. in sending out the call for the ma
tional convention. which is preliminary to
the calling OF state conventions for the
election of delegates to the national con-
vention.
Senator Quay as the leader of the repub-
hcans of Pennsylvania, thought he dis
cerned sinister purpose in this delay;
that 1t meant that Hanna was trying to
prevent the Roosevelt people In the differ
ent states from perfecting their organiza-
ton and securing their pledged delegates,
leaving the way open for discussion OF other
candidates in the meantime.
Senator Quay finally. after some corre-
spondence had passed between the national
committee and the Pennsylvania state CEN
trail committee decided to proceed inde-
pendently of the call for the national con-
vention. and he directed Senator Penrose,
who Is chairman of the Pennsylvania state
committee, to call state convention April
6 to elect delegates to the national conven-

RUSSIA WILL BALK
FORMER DEMANDS OF JAPAN
MERELY REITERATED.
Advices From Tokyo, However, In
dictate the Expectation Of Fur
ther Negotiations.

LONDON. January 1.-THE British for
ing the japanese reply to the last Russian
note, that 1t only takes the crisis a step
further I'm a less hopeful direction.
The advices received by the foreign Of
fce made them fear that Russia would not
accept Japan'e reiterated demands.
In regard to the reports from Paris OF
The possible Intervention of Great Britain
and France the foreign Office says no such
steps are on foot far as Great Britain
from either Russia or Japan for such ac-
ton. and the foreign Office says 1t fears the
time has passed for any Intervention to be
asked for or for unasked for Intervention
to be efficacious.
LONDON, January 14.-Minister Hayashl
received today the text of the Japanese re-
ply to Russia's last note. 1t does not con-
tain an ultimatum, but reiterates Japan s
original demands. with what Baron Haya-
shi terms "a modification upon a minor
point" The questions of Chinese soverei gn-
ty in Manchuria and Japan's sphere of in
duence in Corea are reinstated.
Minister Hayashi said to a representative
OF the Associated Press:
$50 far as can see the relations Of the
two powers regarding the dispute practical
~ are unchanged. have 10 indication of
the reception this note is likely to meet at
the hands Of the Russian government, but

several weeks"

THE MoCcAsIN AT NORFOLK.
Beaching Of Vessel Not the Fault Of
Her Crew.

The Navy Department has been informed
that the submarine torpedo boat Moccasin.
which was aground at Currituck Inlet for
nearly month, has arrived at the Norfolk
navy yard In tow of the gunboat Peoria
The department has reached the conclu-
sion that the beaching of the Moccasin
was due entirely to the elements. and
therefore will not appoint court of In
quiry to place the responsibility. On the
contrary. Rear Admiral Taylor, chief Of
the bureau Of navigation, today paid a
high tribute to the efficiency of the officers
and crew of the Moccasin, the Adder and
the Peoria, who, according to official re-
ports, did everything possible under the
rcumstances. One of them, Chief Boat
swain Deery, displayed the greatest hero
ism in swimming to the Adder in a rough
sea and fastening a line to her.

MAY TENDER GOOD OFFICES.
European Powers Exchanging Views
on Question Of Mediation.

PARIS. January A.-The intention on the
part of certain European powers to find
means to prevent the Russo-Japanese con-
troversy drifting into actual war, as inti-
mated IN these dispatches yesterday
has begun to assume definite proportions
though until today these means were con-
fined to an exchange of views between the
cabinets as to what course was desirable.
and 1t can be asserted positively that no
tender of mediation or good offices has yet
been made to Japan or Russia, since 1t Is
the accepted view that a grave moment
which would warrant representations from
the eftside has not been reached. On the
contrAry sstpN Aere continues to.
expect peaceful SOLUTION. without outsfds
pressure. This expectation is borne out by
the latest official advices. One of the dis
patches sent from Toxic last night alleged
that Japan's answer had not been forward
ed up to that time. which leads the officials
to question the pessmistic reports based on
the statements that Japan's answer had
already been delivered. and further defers
any steps which may be taken toward ad-
vising the two parties to terminate the con-
troversy.
Understanding Between England and
France.
In the meantime the cabinets Of London
and Paris have arrived at quite clear I'M
Outstanding as to what will be done II the
eventualty OF war becomes imminent This
will not be by tender Of mediation, as
this Is considered to be too extreme a step
in diplomatic procedure when two of the
foremost powers are the principal dis
putants. The form Of the representa- tions
will be that known in diplomatic usage as
In giving friendly advice for the main
tenance of peace. In the present case 1t
IL likely to include rather definite sugges-
tions that the outside powers consider that
the main questions causing the present diff
ferences are entirely susceptible to pacific
Europe and the United States will give
moral or actual support TO the friendly rep
RESERVATIONS is open question, as the
exchanges Of Views have thus far been con-
fined mainly to London and Paris; but
throughout the exchanges there has been a
strong sentiment that the united influence
OF Europe and the United States should
give at least moral support to the efforts to
avert a conflict.
This has been one OF the chief factors in
the strong belief in official quarters during
the last few days that the Russo-Japanese
issue would not result in war. The opinion
today continues to be that the parties them
selves will succeed IN averting a conflict
and that until IL becomes manifest that
they are unable to do 30 no action Will be
taken from the outside.
