dition OF Senator Hoar, DR.. Warren Gil

said: Yesterday certain symptoms In
Senator Hoar's condition that have
caused alarm were somewhat Improved.
The senator is still very weak man
and IL is indeed uncertain whether he

This statement was interpreted as an
expression OF the physicians belief that

Improvement today too much hope that
the patient would get we'll should not be
entertained on account OF his advanced
age and his greatly weakened condition.
At $50 Gen. lockwood Hoar gave out

retain his strength for the next two days
there will be a ground for hope
At noon today Gen. lockwood Hoar

ing bulletin relative TO the senator's
condition:
THE senator is asleep and has had a

chances for his recovery are less than
they were early this morning
Doctors who have had similar cases
say the general breaking down OF the
senator physically with the congestion

saSe, that his chances for recovery are
very slight. unless the lung clears imme =

to be the opening wedge toward making
the United States government a party 10
the serious international situation pro
duced by the conflicting demands OF Rus
STA and Japan upon China in connection
with the presence Of Russian warships
at Shanghai, was made yesterday.
II came in the form OF a copy of the
Japanese protest TO China against permit
ting the Russian vessels 10 remain in
Chinese port and was delivered officially
10 the state department by Mr.. Takahira,
the Japanese minister
The delivery of this one communica-
tion will not however be sufficient 20
secure American participation in the new
crisis which confronts China. The ad-
ministraton will keep out Of IL as long
as IL honorably can. and Mr. Takahira
was given 10 understand by Mr.. Hay tina,
the matter was one which did not concern
this government
The position OF the United States Is
that when upon the invitation Of the
Washington government. Russia and Jap
an promised to observe the neutrality OF
China, as long as China remained neutral,
no obligation was imposed upon the
United States 10 see that the promise was
fulfilled
The coutcome OF the understanding ef-
fected between the two beillgerents was.
according TO the position OF the United
States, left TO their sense Of equity and
honor,
For these reasons, this government
feels that Il has no concern in the trouble
which has been produced by Russian war
ships seeking refuge in Chinese ports, and
Il will therefore take no notice OF the
copy OF the protest filed by the japanese
minister, beyond making the customary
courteous acknowledgment OF its re-
ceipt

able, however. to give him any. Sir
Cheng expressed himself afterward as
deeply concerned over the Shanghai incl

trouble was in prospect.

repair work slow.
The accomplishment OF the cherished
plan OF the admiralty Of uniting the two
Russian far eastern squadrons TO await

almost hopeless. as the fighting strength

greatly reduced and there is no longer
