New Regime For sprinkling.

The Council declared for a new re-

ordered to have a notice published to
inform the city tax payers that the
City Council would not consider any

fore the first meeting in April. All

In the past year the Council has

adopted to prevent the reoccurrence
of such troubles this year.

THREATENS CHINA.
Russia viii Occupy Pekin II China
Sides With Japan.


London, Jan. 12-The correspondent
of the Daily Mail at Tien-tsin says the
Russian government has sent to the
Chinese government threat that
Russia would Immediately occupy Pc
kin should China join forces with
Japan. AS a result the grand council
has advised the throne to adopt pol.
icy of neutrality.
The Japanese legation here occupied
yesterday in handling lengthy tele-
grams between London and Toxic.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister,
said that he was not ready to an
nounce the nature Of these dispatches.
There are several indications which
show that Frances pressure upon her
ally is proving effective at st. Peters
burg, and that the likelihood of avoid
ing an immediate rupturee has i'm
proved. The favorable view in this
direction, which raised the quotations
at the bourse Friday afternoon are
now more widely held. A semi-official
statement was printed in Paris last
evening that Russia had
Completely Given Way
in regard to Korea and that Japan was
willing to wait little while for an ad-
justment of the other issues. Japan,
it is reported, has agreed not to land
troops in Korea during this final stage
when Russia is formulating her inten-
lions in regard to Korea.
A st. Petersburg message Of yester-
days date reports the receipt OF a
joint communication from the British
and French governments bearing
upon the Russo-Japanese crisis. 1t
adds that a similar message has been
forwarded to Toxic. 1t is considered
probable that the friendly interven-
ton of France and Great Britain also
will aid a settlement.
1t is officially contradicted in St.
Petersburg that 10000 troops have
been sent by the Siberian railway to
the Far East. 1t is also denied that
two Russian warships were seen fol-
lowing the Japanese cruisers Nisshin
and Kasaga off Sardinia.
Will Be No General War.
1t is learned by the Associated Press
on the highest authority that it has
been decided in the event of war be-
tween Russia and Japan that Germany
will maintain a strict neutrality and
that other members of the dreibund
will observe a similar attitude.
The Importance Of this decision,
which the Associated Press under
stands will almost Immediately be an
nounced in some official manner in
Beerlin, cannot be easily overestima-
ted. 1t will in measure insure that
hostilities will be confined to the two
powers concerned. and it will be GER
tain to give a great stimulus to the eff
forts which France and Great Britain
are making in st. Petersburg and
Toxic respectively in favor of peace.
