ATTACKS
ON JAPAN
CEASE
Tho Russian Newspapers Have
Changed Their Tons-MsdI-
alton, They Say, Is Unnecessary

ST. Petersburg. Jan. 20.-The attacks
on Japan In the Russian press are oeas-
ing. The newspapers print prominently
reports 10 the effect that the acute phase
is passing and they continue 10 assert
that mediation is unnecessary.
A confusion OF Olongapho in Subig bay
near Manila with Yonhapo on the Yalu
river has led the Russian press into
curious attack on the United States. The
statement that Rear Admiral Evans
squadron was to proceed to Olongapho
was either garblsd In transmission or
misunderstood. for II was reported that
he would go TO Olongapho. This error
was made the basis OF an attack on the
motives Of the United States by the
Novoe Vremya and Listok, both papers
pretending TO see IN the movement the
entrance Of the United States into the
quarrel. The Novoe Vremya remarks.
AT least America will be an open enemy
which Is preferable TO a secret one"
FRANCE DECLINES AID.
The German government has become
privy TO the fact that France declines
TO give Russia any assurance OF armed
help In the event OF war, even should
Great Britain aid Japan. 1t is under
stood here that Russia asked France to
define her position in the contingency
OF Great Britain actively participating
In a japanese attack on Russia and that
the French government replied yhat
France must remain militarily neutral
as the Russian French alliance was quite
separate from such questions as that now
pending This decision OF French will
deeply affect the situation between Rus
sia and japan and also the Franco Rus
sian alliance.
Moreover, 1t is the general impression
here that IL war breaks out the best
diplomacy may not succeed in keeping
France out Of he imbroglio. Therefore
M. Delcasse. considering the self interest
OF France as well as the Franco Russian n
note OF 1907, Is counselling a peaceful
settlement Concerning the specific char
acter OF M.Delcasse's advice the only
guide Is the note OF 1902 which is being
much discussed in the efforts to deter
mine its bearing OF the present situation.
The first OF the document refers TO the
purpose of the two governments 10 safe
guard the integrity OF China and approves
the principle that China and Corea shall
remain open to the commerce and in
dustry OF all nations. This clause is con-
strued here as restricted TO the IS prov
inces Of old China, and as not applying
to Manchuria and other parts OF tho
Therefore while the Franco Russian
agreement is serving to bring about an
exchange OF Views n Is held that the
agreement does not limit Russia concern

DECISION RENDERED
The Matter Of Duty on Pearls Has Inter
ested Jewellers and 0fnelans.

New York. Jan 20.--A decision has been
handed down In the United States circuit
court by Judge Hazel, sustaining the de-
cision OF the board OF United States gem
eral appraisers in classifying two con-
signments OF pearls set and strung and
accordingly asssssable at 90 per cent ad
valorem.
The pearls are valued at S123,s45
jewelers. and customs authorities
throughout the country have been inter
ested in the decision because IL brought
up for a final settlement the question as
to whether pearls placed in a box instead
OF paper and arranged In graduated sizes
could be classified as being strung or set.
The board took the stand that the stones
were so classified and levied the highest
duty. This is upheld by Judge Hazel.

LETTER FROM MISSOURI.

Editor Press;-l, being a Crit
tenden county boy and a constant
reader Of the Press, take the liber.
ty OF writing this letter, hoping i,
may be OF some interest to my
friends in old Kentucky.
Some eight months ago / left
old Lentucky without saying good
by to any one. Though l was
born and reared in Crittsndsn
county and had learned to love
her hills. her valleys and hea peo.
pie, yet l thought that there was.
somewhere. a place that would
suit me better.
Making my way to central Ten
nesses, there l found the hooking
birds singing and the sweet dali
sizes growing by the streams which
ran through country picturesque
and beautiful; thence took my
way to the Cumberland mountsins
where my visit was pleasant one.
There / found among the citizens
health and prosperity. They
were peaceful and socisble. and
ALWAYS glad to see a KsntuckIsn
Though they did not live in the
finest of houses, yet on their Ia
blss was always something good
to est-snd this means much to a
hungry Ksntuokisn.
The prices paid there for farm
labor were from 81 to $40 month
and for about three months in the
year. l wondered how they could
make a living at this, when l
could scarcely do SO, putting in
from Is to 20 months a year in
Kentucky. The POLLEN not be-
ing, to my mind, satisfactorily
solvse. l concluded this was not
the place for me, 80 l again hisd
me on to New Madrid, Mo. where
/ found everything Aourishing-|
always something to do and some
thing for doing it. Farm work
from $50 to $50 a month, and all
other work in proportion.
For the past two decades New
Madrid has had a steady growth.
Many new citizens have come in,
some with capital. which has in.
creased many fold, and Others
whose stock in trade 10 energy,
and all have prospsIsd. No ooun. |

bounty. The cleared land rents
Tor from $3.50 to $6 per acre, and
10 eagerly taken at that, the soil
being very productive.
l have met several Crittenden
county boys since l have been
here and a number of them will
urn some of Missouri's black soil
his season.
The Press SHAKES hands, as it
we're. with me every Friday. and 1
'iways meet 1t at the post office
It 6:5O p. N. The only fault l
ian find with the Press is that Il
0 not large enough to furnish me
'sading matter sufficisnt to last
rom one Friday to the next.
With best wishes to all,
