A Different View Was Taken of the
COngressman's Case.
New York, Jan. 8.-Former Congress-
man briggs, who was convicted here
yesterday for receiving compensation
for aiding in the procurement of a
contract with the government, in his
defense set forth that although he had
been elected a congressman, he had
not taken his seat at the time of the
improper transaction.
Mr.. briggs attorney contended
throughout that his client was not a
congressman until he had actually
taken the oath of office, but the prose-
cutting attorney maintained that the
defendant was a member of Congress
from March 4, when the preceding
House of Representatives adjourned.
Judge Thomas left 1t to the jury to
decide whether the term as congress-
man had actually begun at the time
in question, and the jury brought in
a verdict of guilty.

RUSSIA YIELDS TO JAPAN
In the Matter of Japanese PrepOn-

In the Matter of Japanese PrepOn-
derance in COrea.
Paris Jan. S.-The Associated Press
learns that, in the opinion of the
French government, there is still a
chance of avoiding a conflict between
Russia and Japan as a result of a
concession made by Russia in her lat
est note. The dispatches, which have
come to Paris from all quarters to-
day, have been most pessimistic, and
the hopefulnesS of the government is
IN strong contrast with them.
1t appears that Russia's concession
relates to the recognition of the in
terests of Japan in Korea. This has
been the cruX of the question between
the two powers up to the present mo-
ment Just how far the concession
goes it is impossible to learn, but the
effect in Toxic. according to the infor-
nation obtained, has been more sat
lsfactory than the press dispatches
Show, and it is believed the negotia-
IONS will continue.
