Toxic, Feb. 3.-Events today indicate
that the prolonged tension between
Russia and Japan has apparently
reached a crisis.
The Marquis Ito, president of the
privy council was summoned from
the country during the night and to-
day the emperor received him and II
council of the elder statesmen was
held with the war minister The high
cealment of their evaporation at the
tar rdlness of the Russian reply.
An unofficial dispatch yesterday said
the Russian decision means war.
specially summoned conference of
the cabinet, elder statesmen and mill
tary and naval officers was held today
at the residence of Premier Katsura.
The meeting is believed to have been
of much Importance, though no details
OF the discussion have been made pub
lie. Possibly 1t foreshadows energetic
action on account of Russian procras-
tirfation.
Although the government officials
COIltlHQe TellCSIt, IL Is thd
the situation is of the gravest and tha,
crisis is near at hand. The time In
which the Russian reply will continue
to be factor in the situation is mar
rowing.
The patience of the government Is
becoming exhausted and If the ex-
pected answer is delayed many days
longer the issuance of an ultimatum
by Japan will become inevitable.
The Japanese feel that the existing
condition have entitled them to more
prompt reply and are bound to infer
that the st. Petersburg government is
determined not to yield. but is utiliz-
ing the time to advance it's prepara-
tions for war.
The conference lasted several hours
and while it was going on Premier Kat
sura and Foreign Minister Komura had
a long audience with the emperor. The
result of the conference is not known

CREATES NEW POST
REPORT OF LORD ESHER COMMITS.
SION JUST MADE PUBLIC IN
BRITISH CAPITAL.
Position Of Commanderin-Chief of
Army Abolished and That of In
spector General .Created-Suggests
Addition to the Existing Defense
Commission-kine's Speech.

London, Feb. 2.-The report of the
Lord Esther commission, which was ap-
pointed last November for the purpose
of advising the government concerning
the creation of a board for the admin.
istrative business of the wal office, has
been issued. 1t confirms the change
foreshadowed by the Associated Press
on November IS, namely, that the post
of commander-in-chief of the army will
be abolished.
With the approval of the king. and
acting upon the recommendations of
the commission, the government has
decided to appoint an army council,
framed upon the admiralty model, to
abolish the office of COMMANDMENT
chief of the army and to create a new
post, that of Inspector general. whose
present duty will be to inspect n re
port on the efficiency of the military
forces.
1t points out the necessity of greater
permanence in the defense commission
in order to secure continuous policy.
and it suggests the addition to the eX-
listing defense commission of a perma-
nent secretary. holding office for five
years; two naval officers, holding office
for two years; two military officers.
chosen by the viceroy of India. and, if
possible. others holding office for two
years.
With regard to the war office. the
commission suggests that the secretary
of state for wal be placed in the same
position as the first lord of the ad
miralty. directly responsible to the
crown nj to parliament. The consti-
tuition of the army council aims at de
Capitalization, the individual members
of the council being entrusted with diff
ferent branches. such as armament.
supply, finance, etc. In this connection
the report remarks Significantly: New
measures demand new men. We there.
fore attach special importance to the
appointment of military members not
hitherto closely connected with exist
ing methods, and who, therefore, are
not likely to be embarrassed by the ira.
ditions of a system which is to be rad
ically changed"

Kings Speech From Throne.


London, Feb. 2.-King Edward and
Queen Alexandria drove through the
streets of London in state today to
visit parliament, where the king in the
house of lords this afternoon read his
customary speech from the throne. He
emphasized particularly the progress
the spirit of arbitration between Great
Britain and other countries is making.
The opening of parliament was a
magnificent function. Notwithstanding
the depressing weather. The cortege
was drenched and the eight cream col.
ored Hanovarian horses bearing the
king and queen were somewhat drag
gled when they reached Westminster,
but once there the ceremonies were
quite regal. All the foreign ministers
were present, with the exception of
Ambassador Choate, who is i'll. King
Edward, taking his seat on the throne
in parliament. read the speech which
opened the new session. Touching on
the Alaskan decision, the king said
that on some points the verdict was
favorable to the British claims. but on
most 1t was adverse. Although this
last circumstance was to be regretted.
1t was a matter for congratulation that
the misunderstanding regarding the
boundaries had been finally removed
from the field of controversy.
