Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.l
 New York, Jan. l8-A St Peters burg dispatch says that the Japanese note was received with surprise. It was conceived that the note would leave some loophole through which the Russian diplomatists might crawl. When 1t became knowo, however, that Japan's note was clean out and definite and left no further room for diplomatic negotiations whereby Russia might gain time, the optimistic nticipations for beating Japan in a slow arrival at an entente were changed lo expressions Lf irritation over the failure of Russian diplomacy. Russian prestige was seri- ously affected by the Chinese-American treaty, but much of tAis loss was ex- pected to be recouped,by the late alli- ance made with Fran5e, and there is much disappointment ranifested at the indifference with which the French re- gard Che present Busshn predicament. As Japan's answer is final there can be no more diplomatic correspondence whatever. Russia has either to meet the demands of Japan er take the con- sequences, and the situation is made more difficult by theunderstanding that Japan will only wait d reasonable time for an answer befor6 opening hostil- ities.

A sad feature of the occasion was that
the lodge had just returned from the
Cemetery where they had laid to rest
the body of one of their brothers, DR..
Claude Burke, who died in New Mex
leo. The services were very interest

Prof. Beardsworth in charge of the

manner. The addresses were delivered

Braxton, and were said by all who
head them to be of the highest order.
