PROSPECT FOR PEACE.
Diplomats Agree That the Situation
Is More Hopeful.

London, Jan. 2O.-Lord Lansdownes
reception at the Foreign Office to-day
was attended by almost all the am
bassadors and ministers in London. At
the end of the reception the Associated
Press was informed that the situation
looked perhaps slightly more hopeful,
but as the Russian reply apparently
is not yet drafted, no definite state
ment could safely be made.
The Foreign Office has reason to be-
lieve, however. that Russia is willing
to- concede practically all Japan's de-
mands, but that she cannot see her
way to make treaty with Japan rec
ognizing in black and white China s
sovereignty over Manchuria. Russia
has approached Great Britain to
urge Japan to forego this stipulation
and to accept in lieu thereof the as
surances to the same end already CIV
en- to the other powers.

FIRE FOLLOWED A
BURSTING STEAM PIPE.
Men Caught and Roasted OF
Drowned Beneath the Debris.


Johnstown, Pa, Jan. 21.-A steam
pipe, directly over the engine in the
boiler room of No. 2 mill of the Cam
bria Steel Company, exploded about
1870 o'clock this morning, bringing
down the whole section of roof run
ming from the pudding mill to the fin
ishing shed of the MILL
The woodwork at once took fire
from the furnaces, and at this time Is
burning fiercely.
three men are under the debris, and it
is not believed that these can be res
cued in time to save their lives.
About fifteen men have been taken
out and have either been sent to the
hospital or are lying on improWsed
cots in offices near by. 1t is impos-
sible at present to learn the extent of
their injuries, but it is known that
several are in critical condition.
Added to the fire and explosion dis
aster. a large water pipe burst, and
is flooding the ground about the
scene of the accident. One man,
caught in the debris, is in plain sight,
but cannot be rescued, owing to the
intensity of the heat.
1t is probable that none of the men
penned in can escape death either by
drowning or fire.
The accident occurred between a
turn, and a great many men were
seated in the mill cOnversing and
Willing a few moments away in a So
