San Francisco, March 12.-Bar.
on M. Kaneko. an ex.Japanese min
lister of agriculture and commerce,
and member of the Japanese parlia-
ment. who has arrived here en- route
to Washington and the st. Louis
exposition, said today. l-
81 do not understand what you
Americans and Europeans mean
when you speak of the yellow peril.
If you believe that the Japanese in
tend to unite with the other mem-
bers of the yellow race and overrun
Europe and America you are very
much mistaken. I think it would
be wiser to beware of the Muecovite
peril. 1t is much more dangerous.
"As regards the neutrality of
China, we expect to take the same
position as outlined by Secretary
Hay. The integrity of China must
be preserved at all costs. We do
not want her for our ally, and if
she enters the war, it must be as
an independent nation.
Japan is prepared to fight this
war to finish without foreign in-
tervention. She is fighting to pre-.
serve the peace of Asia and not for
any ambitious purposes.
"We are in the war to win and
we are prepared to remain in it as
long as Russia does. Our finances
are in the best of condition, and we
C an always issue special war tax

PENNSYLVANIA PLANS.
Easily Raising Immense Sums For
Great Improvements.

Philadelphia, Feb. Is - The Penn,
sylvania is succeededing in raising the
funds for it's two or three hundred mil
lion dollar improvements with appar.
ent ease. The last sum of $50,000000
was obtained on terms which, three
weeks ago, would have been thought
impossible for any corporation to OBJ
tain, and whatever may be said as to
the magnitude of the borrowings or the
objects for which they have been
made it is a matter OF the greatest in
terest that at this time the Pennsy is
able to go into the open market and
obtain such large sums of money at
comparatively low rate of interest.
1t not only means that what has
been done and proposed has not affect
ed the company's credit in the eyes of
the money lenders of the world, but
that the finances of the company are in
extremely able hands and are managed
with great skill.
The uses to which the money is put
is avowedly to improve the property.
In his annual report President Cassatt
has stated precisely what he intended
to do. He said last year he would
raise and expend SG7,000,000 east OF
Pittsburg on work that the operations
of the company had demonstrated to
be actually necessary in order that
the traffic and the business of the COM
pany could be handled economically
and promptly.
At the same time he gave full notice
that large expenditures would be made
on the lines west of Pittsburg. The
stock issues of last year provided the
means for the eastern Improvements
and considerable balance.
Now the Pennsylvania company Dor.
rows 5O,0OO,000 to 90 the work west of
Pittsburg. The manner Of the borrow
ing is exactly that which was adopted
by the Pennsylvania last year, and by
the Lake Shore and other companies,
short time notes being issued, which
later will be but into the form of perm.
anent obligations.

RoBBER BAND ESCAPES.
Almost Got $4,000 From a Postoffice.
Had Two Running Fights.


Altoona, Pa, Feb. 15.-Five robbers
broke into the Cresson rostoffice at 2
o'clock Saturday morning and blew
open the safe with nitro-g -glycerine. The
postoffice adioins the Anderson hotel,
and the proprietor, Conrad Winderoth,
and his guests were awakened by the
explosion. Hastily arming themselves
they left the hotel by front and rear
doors
Two of the robbers were on guard
and al once opened fire on the party
of citizens. The latter returned the
fire and a gun fight followed. One of
the gang was shot in the face, the light
being sufficient to see him drop his
revolver and clap his hands to his
wound
The robbers turned all their force
on the three men guarding the rear of
the passageway between the hotel and
postoffice and drove them away. The
thieves then retreated through the al
ley and boarded a freight and went to
Gallitzin. Officers there were notified
and posse of so men were waiting for
the train.
The thieves got off and the posse at
once opened fire, but the fugitives got
away in the woods, the posse pursuing
them keeping after them all day, but
unsuccessfully.
There was $4,000 in the postoffice
safe and had the burglars been left
alone for five minutes they would have
had it all AS it was they secured 95
cents from the money drawer.
