best dinners that we have had the pleas
ure of beiag at fer many a long day.

Probably the most interesting feature
Of the day was ssse attempted rolling Of
Rev. Edgar Potts in the sand on the
shore OF the York by two young ladies.
We then came back 70 the picnic
grounds. where we were very pleasantly
entertained by a defamation from Mr..

the most obtuse and unconciliatory
way. No party had been built UP fa-
sorable to japanese influence The d.s-
missed officials loathed their rulers,
and the common people were incensed
at their dictatorsalness. The murder
Of the queen was the match. The ex-
pIosi0n followed. One wonders at the
stupidity cg the japanese In commit

see the temper OF the people. Every

good promise that the question would
not be freighted there with jealousies

self restraint toward all. Mr.. Weber
was soon transferred to Mexico, how
ever, and the policy Of Russia in Ko-
rea underwent a change.
Japan had fought China to deliver
Korea and recover her control Of Ko-
rea's future. The issue OF 1t all had
been simply the substitution Of Russia
for China. On June 9, 1895, q conven-
ton was signed In Moscow which
formally recognized this.
Two years later, on April %, 1893,
Russia having other business on hand
and wishing TO tie up Japan, the two
governments made q further agree
ment, by which they agreed not to In
terfere with Korea's independence,

RUSSIA AGAIN DELAYS
IN MAKING REPLY TO
JAPAN'S LATEST NOTE
Final Draft of the Important Paper
VIII Not Be Submitted to the
Car Before Tuesday.
JAPAN IS MODELLING
Naval and Military Reserves
Called to the Colors-Transports
Are Loaded and Ready.

PARIS. Jan. 31.-Another delay has oe-
CURED in framing and forwarding the Rus
sian answer to the latest Japanese note,
and this will result in further averting the
elimination of the crisis until the middle or
the latter part Of this week.
The advices received here from st. Peters
burg to-day. although somewhat negative,
gave definite details of the status of the
note and the programme it was intended to
follow. Count Lamsdorff, the Russian for
eign minister, had expected that the ex-
changes going on would have permitted the
final drafting of the answer so that it could
have been presented TO the Car yesterday
for his approval, but the expectation was
not realized and as a matter of fact the
answer has not yet been finally drafted. IL
was therefore determined to defer its sub
mission to the Car until next Tuesday or
Wednesday. Efforts are still being made
TO so shape this answer as to prevent a
rupture.
This new delay is interpreted as slightly
improving the situation. as it indicates that
Russia is making extreme efforts to bring
the answer within limits acceptable to
Japan.
Owing to the fact that the Russian an
swer is not completed. it is pointed out that
the reports concerning it's general terms
must be taken with allowance, as the delay
indicates that some of the points which
presented the most serious difficulties may
yet be TecOnciled.
Throughout the past week the authorities
here have been kept fully advised of the
general tendencies of Russia, but they have
be Incorporated in the answer by which
Russia would irrevocably abide.
