Comrades 1T is my painful
dnty to annoance that our beloved
commander and chief, Gen. j. B.
Gordon, was stricken with conges-
ton of the stomach on the 6, inst,
and died at his winter home near
Mama, Fla, on the 9.
He was a hero on whom nature
impressed the stamp of greatness,
who dazzled and whose loneliness
charmed. A statesman whose prin-
ciples and the strength of mind are
inscribed on the congressional rec
ords and the annals of the counsel
chamber. A patriot true to his
convictions through the varied vi
cisitudes of a long and eventful
life. A friend who knew no guile,
whose bosom was made trauspar-
ent by his deeds, in whose heart
was rooted tender and sympathetic
virtue. His military record is un-
furnished. Entering the civil war
as captain, without previous mill
tary training, his undaunted cour-
age, clear conception and true de-
yotion soon conciliated the esteem
Of the ranking officials, and he was
gradually promoted to corps COM
mander, which position he held and
was on active duty On the eventful
9th of April, 1866. The tender es-
TEEN and high regard of his com
rades has been made manifest by
his unanimous annual election to
be COMMUNICATIVE chief of U. G. V.

Russia VIII Not Accede to Japan's
Wishes.

London, Jan. Baron Hayashi, the
japanese minister here, has been in
formed from Paris that Russia has de-
cided not to grant the japanese pro-
posals.
This is the first intimation anyone
here admits receiving anent the Rus
sian reply.
The baron said 10 a representative Of
the Associated Press;
II Information from Paris is borne
out by the wording of the Russian re-
ply, and If the japanese government
adheres to its present determination,
there seems to be small possibility Of
ayerting war
The British foreign Office is unable
70 confirm or deny Baron Hayashi' s
Information. The officials. however,
say they are not surprised at the tenor
OF his advices. The foreign Office seems
inclined 10 think that Russia viii If
possible avoid making a reply Of any
kind 10 the last japanese note.
Ny information from Paris" said
the minister Of Japan, ''is not official,
but in connection with information i'm
parted TO me by the British govern
ment IL is probably only too correct.
IF Chancellor Won Buelow's informa-
ten that Russia's reply win be framed
in a manner intended to satisfy Japan
turns out correct it will be better news
than I have dared to hope for
1t was learned that Japan has Sc
cured a large additional amount Of coal
in the name Of an English shipping
firm sending vessels TO the far east.
The st. James Gazette says it under
stands that the Japanese government
has taken over two vessels Of the Nip
ppn line for use as hospital ships.

OFFICIAL DENIAL.
Adviees We're Not Sent From Paris to
Minister Havashi.

MINISTER hayaSH1s
Paris, Jan. 1.-At the japanese 1ega-
ton mere tonight Minister Montono au-
thorized the Associated Press to make a
categorical denial of a report that ad-
vices had been sent from the legation
at Paris to the japanese minister at
London that Russia had decided not to
grant the japanese proposals. This re-
port came from London and New York
10 Paris while officials generally were
participating in brilliant New Years
Festivities centering at the Elysse PAL
ace. The foreign office and other gov
eminent Establishments We're closed
and the ambassadors, ministers and
distinguished personages were taking
part in a series of official functions. The
general tone of official comment during
these informal exchanges was some
what improved, President LOubet's ad-
dress to the diplomatic corps taking in
ternatiOEai peace as a text. The new
Russian ambassador, N. NeldOf, and
the japanese minister Montono, were
among the attentive listeners to the
presidents remarks, and consequently
the report of Paris advices that Russia
had decided not to grant Japans pro-
posals was somewhat inexplcable at
the japanese legation.
Tonight Minister MontOnO received a
number Of his cOuntrymen and officials.
The patriotic sentiment Of the Japanese
IS shown in the decorating Of the lega-
ton entrance with large japanese flags.
When asked regarding the utterances
of Baron Hayashi, Minister Montono
said that certainly no such report en-
anated from him, and that he was the
usual medium for advices OF that char
acter to his colleague in London. He
remarked that on the contrary the day
had passed without advices having been
received and that the status of the sit
uatiOn continued to be the awaiting Of
Russia's reply. When asked for his
views on the outlook for the mainten-
ance for peace. Minister MOntonO asked
-to be excused from replying, saying
that the situation was too delicate TO
permit him to express his views on
possible results. He said, however. that
there were no advices today warrant
ing a more serious view of the situa-
ton.

During the last hour of the receD-

band played the liyeliest music in its
repertoire. Officials stationed at inter
walls along the line kept the people NOV

tragedian was given a place in the line
Immediately following the officers Of

recognized him instantly and gave him
a cordial greeting. For several min
utes the line was stopped while the
president and Sir Henry chatted ami
matedly. The president introduced him

place behind the line among the re-
ceiving party.
Sir Henry remained for nearly an
hour, being shown many pleasant at

given orders that the reception should
continue until all who were in line had

deal of shaking hands, the president
