UNCLE SAM BACKS JAPAN.
Russian Paper Declares Us the Foe Be-
hind the Veil.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb 4-The
feeling in the higher circles continues
to be that Russia has offered substan-
tial concessions, but that she cannot
meet Japan's wishes regarding Man
churia or agree to Japanese fortif1ca-
tons in Southern KoFeas 1t is inti-
mated in unofficial quarters that If
Japan should offer a counter proposal
that Russia guaranteed China's Man
churian treaties, irrespective of the
ultimate sovereignty Of the province,
there might be a chance of reaching
such a compromise. 1t Is argued that
this settlement woulds safeguard the
existing commercial interests Of all the
powers in Manchuria, and 1t is con-
tended that if Japan demands more
in the last resort this would betray to
the world her Interior ambitions on
the continent of Asia, which would be
inimical to the interests of not only
Russia, but of the very powers which
now sympathize with Japan.
Much anxiety and doubt prevail here
with regard to the future, but one
thing is certain, Russia will not de-
clare war, nor will she initiate hostile
action if the negotiations break down.
Russia will remain quiescent until at
tackled.
The announcement that the Japanese
authorities had postponed the war i'm
post until next April is interpreted ia
vorably here.
The Novoe Vremya today publishes
an editorial on its Port Arthur CORE
spondence of yesterday. The views Of
this correspondent may appear fam
tastic, but the paper says nevertheless
that America is the real foe screened
behind Japan. The British, the paper
continues, have assumed the task of
betraying Europe by trucking to the
United States, and speeches at the re-
cent banquet of the Pilgrims society
are cited as examples Of British serv-
ility.
when Great Britain has quite gone
over to the United States the rest Of
Europe will realize the urgency OF
united action against America"
A telegram received here from Port
Arthur says there Is no announcement
there of the mobilization or the call
ing out of the reserves, but that every
thing is in readiness and that there are
almost half a million troops in Man
churia. These figures are considered
here to be exaggerated by at least one
half, but it is understood that $4,000
Russian soldiers are on their way or
under orders for the far East.

TRAINS STILL WALTON
IN MICHIGAN SNOW
Attempts to Clear Lines In "Thumb Dis
trict" Are Disappointing.


DETROIT, Mich. Feb. 4.-Storm re-
ports from the Thumb district of Mich
igan tonight are disappointing. A snow
pillow which succeeded in working south
from Harbor Beach to Port Huron yes
terday was started northward today, but
on the return trip made little progress.
The Pere Marquette line Is buried in
snow drifts before the opening made by
the snow pillow can be made use of. 1t
is ninety miles from Port Huron to Port
Austin, and reports received tonight show
that the snow pillow and relief train. which
started at .. m, had worked northward
only twenty miles.
The Saginaw and Port Huron branch
of the Pere Marquette is blocked between
Marlette and Brown City, where the last
train to leave Saginaw for Port Huron, at
z a. m, is showed in. The westbound
train that left Port Huron this morning
is at Brown City, unable to proceed until
the eastbound train is released.
Yesterday it was thought that the Port
Huron Saginaw line was open, but the
cuts filled up with snow before today's
trains could get through.
The Wabash and Grand Trunk rail-
ways tonight discontinued all Eastern
freight traffic as far as Detroit is con-
cerned. Orders were also issued to
double head all eastbound passenger
trains The snow storm east Of st.
Thomas is reported to be the heaviest
of the year. Live stock IN the hands of
the railways are being cared for as well
as possible.

GAS TO COST ONLY
S1.1O AFTER JUNE |.
Minneapolis Company Lowers
Rate to Private Consumers
Another Ten Cents.

The Minneapolis Gas Light company
will inaugurate rate of $1.10 thousand
cubic feet to consumers after June 1. This
is a reduction Of 10 cents, and is made
voluntarily. The company believes it will
increase the business to an extent that
will result in great profits.
The decision of the directors provides
for a price of $1-30 gross, but with a
discount Of 20 cents on all bills paid be-
fore the 10th of the month. This price
is lower than in ST. Paul.
In 1877 Minneapolis consumers paid
81 so for gas. but there have been con-
slant reductions. The present price Of
$120 was given three years ago.
w. HI. Levings made the following
statement yesterday In regard to the mat
ter:
risk in making reduction at the present
are very high and have been for some
time. It-is expected that the reduction
will stimulate the demand and increase
the quantity Of gas consumed. If it does
not the reduction will have been ill-adyis-
ed and work considerable hardship upon
US.
Gas coal is found in a comparatively
small area, the majority of it coming
from Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Any combination of gas coal producers
would result in tie-up for the gas COM
panies.
When the present gas light company as
sumed control of the gas works of the city
in 1877 the price of gas was 81 so per
thousand. Since that time they have
steadily decreased the price and at the
present time. Minneapolis is enjoying
high grade of gas at g low price.

Russia Sends Troops to Seoul.
PARIS, Feb. 5.-The CORES pondent
at Seoul Of the Paris edition of the
New York Herald says that four COM
panies of Russian soldiers have left
Port Arthur for Yongampho and are
moving toward the Yalu river. The
commander Of the Russian forces at
Vladivostock has requested the Jap

Russia is sending trops to Seoul at

by affirming that there are 5000 Jap

The correspondent, however, says this
assertion cannot be confirmed. 1t is

thousand Russian soldiers will reach

GOLDFISH CAKES WILL

Greater Part of Catch for Last Season

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 4.-"Cod-

creased or a greater quantity Of potatoes
put in with a corresponding decrease in
the amount of Goldfish.
In France, according to a report from
Consul Bartleman at Cadiz, Spain, the
catch last season was less than half Of
the previous year and prices will be cor
respondingly high. The small catch was
not because of a lack of fish. The banks
were teeming with them, but owing to
an excess of natural food the greedy cod
fish could not be induced to bite at the
hooks of the fishermen. The fishing on
the Newfoundland banks was CORE
spondingly small. In Labrador and Nor
way the catch was nearly as poor. The
prices have already risen in these coun-
tries and the dealers refuse to sell, stor-
ing the fish for even higher prices.
The fishing season does not begin until
May and the sacred Goldfish of New Eng
land may yet be sent to Labrador, Nor
way, France, Spain and even Portugal.
