japanese Issue Another Statement
Of the Position, lustifying Their
Action in Breaking off nego-
tiations With Russia and
Beginning the War.
Russia Receives an Explanation Frcm
Secretary Hay.

Washington, March 1.-The Japa-
nese minister today gave out an auth
orized statement from his Government
relative to Russian allegation that
Japan was guilty Of a breach of inter
national law in not declaring war and
of treachery in attacking Russia, who
was bent on peace. The statement
says that Russia, while delaying nego-
tiations, extended her naval and mill
tary preparations, increasing her fal
Eastern feet by nineteen vessels and
augmentiDg her forces by 40, 600 men,
besides fortifying strategic points.
The statement says:
From these military and naval pre-
parations of every description, made
during the progress of the negotia.
tions, it is quite evident that Russia
was not inclined to friendly settle
ment of the questions then under dis
cussion between Japan and herself,
but sought solely by military pre-.
ponderance to force Japan into sub.
mission. During the latter part Of
January, and up to the beginning OF
February, Russian military activity
was still further intensified.
'tSeeing that the situation had De-
come 80 critical that it admitted of nc
further delay, the Japanese Govern
ment vas compelled to break of nego:
tiations that had proved abortive and
to take the necessary steps for self-pro-
lection.
cit is the almost unanimous opinion
of international jurists that declara,
tion of war is not an indispensable
prerequisite to the opening of hostili-
ties. Indeed, it has been the common
practice in recent wars to declare Wal
after hostilities have been begun.
Japan's action. therefore, is not open
to the least criticism in this regard:
From the standpoint of international
law it must be acknowledged that the
charge made against her does not
come with good grace from Russia.
inasmuch as there are many historical
instances of Russia herself resorting &c
hostilities without declaring war. -

NJ. Williams SAID the who,e Incl
dent was telling bIow at The alb
stzact theory Of general equality, and
that it is discovery CT the underiy-
ing hypocrisy Of the contention that
all men are socially equal, regardless
of color, race, traits and tendencies. -
Mr.. Scott desired to know who had
been asserting social equality.
Il have understood" replied Mr..
Williams, that the political theory
of your household of political faith
for the last twenty years has been that
men, regardless of color, race, traits,
tendencies, characteristics, capabili-
ties or what-not, ought to be strictly
equal politically and, he said,
social equality must follow: "but
that is not all; the head Of your party
set the example of social equality in
the only manner in which it can be
set, by inviting black man to ia
ble' -
Mr.. Williams said that il what the
President had done was not to carry
the light of example, it was done for
no purpose at all.
cit was an unconscious exhibition, :"
continued the minority leader, ''of
the arrogance that teaches men now
and then to shed the light of example
upon the benighted white population
of the South. -
Mr.. Williams went on: 'tNor am I
quarrelling with Mr.. Roosevelt, nor
have I quarrelled with him at all. He
has perfect right to invite a colored
man if he chooses, but as far as [
know, he waited until he was Presi-
dent of the United States so it could
bear an official stamp, before he ever
did lt.''
Mr.. Scott said be bad made no i'm.
putation of fault against Mr. CleEe-
land. He had simply pointed to the
allegation he made because the Demo
cratic party had gone into Mysteries
because one man had invited a colored
man to his table.
"All right said Mr.. Williams, 81
am glad to hear that, because I
thought the gentleman had a sharp
stick and was after my dea- and much
adored old friend, Grover Cleveland.

RUSSIA BCLLIES UNCLE SAN.
Washington, March l.-An im-
portant conference, lasting moro than
an hour, occurred today between Secre-
tary Hay and Count Cassini, the Rus
sian ambassador The growing ILL
feeling in Russia against Americans
and the continued attacks Of certain
parts of the American press against
Russia was the main subject discussed.
Count Csssini also informally in
quired about the report that the Com
mercial Cable Company had applied
for landing privileges at Guam for a
cable from that island to Japan. He
was assured by Mr.. Hay that this
Government at present was consider
ing no such application.
To correspondent of the Associated
Press Count Cassini said that it had
been a bitter disappointment to the
Russian people to find American news
papers attacking the Russian Govern
ment. the Russian people and Russian
policies. He said the first feeling of
his people had been one of painful
surprise, but that this is now chrys-
talliZing into deplorable feeling of
unfriendliness.
"The tone of Russian newspapers, -
said the ambassador, Ga consequence
of the tone of many American news
papers. is beginning to take very
painful direction in their references to
the United States, and in my opin-
ion it is in the interests of both coun-
tries that some measures shall be taken
to check this before it is too late
What is the cause of the present
unfriendly policy of the Russian press
towards this country" the ambassador
was asked.
The ambassador responded: 1T is
the constant unfriendly feeling ex-
pressed in many American newspapers
against Russia. am sure that when
these attacks, which so far as Russia
can see are without cause, ends. the
relations of Russia and the United
States will no longer be clouded. -

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia. but the truth is exactly the
opposite Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead Of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called .Catarrh Of the Stomach.

A cold is sometimes contracted while re.

most colds are caught while sleeping toe
