Mr.. Gro.:v eHor, Rep. Ohio. made Il

RUSSIA PREPARED
To Meet Any Emergency ikeI,
Now to Arise.
Has Been for Months Strengthening
Her Position in Far East.
Her Answer to Japan Will Go to the
Gar, Today.

st. Petersburg, Feb. lin spite of
the expressed hope of the Russian au-
thOritics that the report crisis will be
passed and that pacific solution of
the Eusso-Japanese negotiations will
be reached, it is no longer concealed
that Russia is practically prepared for
eventUslties. Today, the mobilization
of the Manchurian reserves was an
nounced.
1t has been we'll known for months
that Russia has been steadily strength
ening her army and navy in the Far
East to meet the preparations which
Japan vas openly making. The avail
able warships We're dispatched to the
Far East and the last division, which
left the Mediterranean 4 month ago,
is now nearing its destination. 1t is
understood that six or seven military
trains daily have been going east over
the Siberian railway and the charters
OF some ships cargoes for the Pacific
have been cancelled because the water
route was considered too slow. Chinese
coal exclusively has been purchased
for the Russian fleet.
The authorities now feel that the sit
uation is secure should Japan reject the
efforts the Gar is making to avoid
wa.
The draft of Russia's reply probably
VIII be submitted to the Car, tomor-
row. The Associated Press is assured
that it will be pacific and should lead
to /; settlement.
Dispatches from Vladivostook, an
nouiced that $4,000 men are expected
there this month, to strengthen the
garrison. while orders for the mobil-
iation Of the reserves in all the terri
tories of the Far East, are shortly ex-
pected.
Preparations are making for the
mobilization of all the horses liable to
government requisition.
The japanese, in alarm, are leaving
the territory traversed by the eastern
Chinese railroad.
According to the Port Arthur Novy-
krai, the japanese are intriguing to
create disturbances in Corea, so as to
have en- excuse for Intervention. The
Japanese reports of the intention OF
Seoul garrison to mutiny were it is
added, circulated with the object of
inducing the Emperor of Corea. to
seek refuge in the Russian legation.
The only result, however, was to de-
ternine the Emperor to place himself
under the protection of the United
States legation of case of necessity.

WORKING FOR PEACE.
Japanese Official at London Hopes for
Settlement.

London, Feb. 1.-One OF the highest
Japanese officials in London, who has
been intimately acquainted with every
possible detail of the Russo-Japanesc
negotiations. made the following state
ment to The Associated Press, tonight:
Il am convinced that the delay in
sending Russia's reply is not for the
purpose of enabling the Russian gov
eminent 10 make further preparations
for war. but that Count Lamsdorff is
honestly trying to bring the matter in
dispute to an amicable settlement.
hope and l think l may add that I be-
licve the peace party will triumps The
cruX of the whole matter is Russia's
assurances regarding Chinese sover-
eighty Over Manchuria. Japan is sin
cerely anxious for peace and if Russia
gives the very reasonable assurance
asked for. there will be no war. Other
wise peace cannot be maintained.

Burns and Inhalation Of Flames and
Smoke Serious.
Child Thrown from Window-Several
Persons Barely Escape.

South Windham, Me-, Feb. 1.-Rev
Otis Russell a retired Methodist min
lister, aged So years, was rescued after
his body had been severly burned, an
story window and several persons
barely escaped during 4 fire which, to-
day, burned n tWo-story frame building
occupied by Mr.. Russell and Warren
W. Wilband.
Mr.. Russell, whose body was found
on the sitting room floor in the midst
of the flames, was not expected to
survive owing to the extent of his
burns and to the inhalation of flames
and smoke. The child WAS caught by
a ncighbor as it descended. The house,
valued at $1,000, ard contents. We're Il
total loss and We're not insured.
The inmates of the house We're
awakened at about I o'clock, this
morning, by the fire, of which the ORR
gin is unknown, and which had OBJ
tanned a good start, making it impos-
sible to prevent its complete destruC-
ton. The neiShbors who We're attract

aid to the unfortunate people, but the
buildings We're beyond saving and the
entire contents We're also destroyed.
Rev. Mr.. Russell. who is over so
years OF age, was found on the floor Of
the sitting room in a helpless condi-
ton and was quite badly burned be-
fore he could be rescued. The family
unstairs also had narrow escapes in
getting out of the burning building,
/ and We're obliged 10 drop a small child
ont OF the second story window in
order to save it's life.
Mr. Russell has been in rather poor
! health for several years and is not
| expected to live, as Il result of his in
| juries. The others escaped only with
their lives, no personal property being
saved. The house is a total loss with
no insurance.
The people who are thus rendered
homeless are being cared for at the
home of Clarence Ward. a short dis
lance from the scene OF the fire.

Safeguard the Children.

Notwithstanding all that is done
by boards of health and charitably
inclined persons, the death rate
among small children is very high
during the hot weather Of the summer
months in the large cities. There is
not probably one case of bowel COM
plant in a hundred, however, that
could not be cured by the timely use
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. Mr.. Frank

speaking of this remedy said: "I
have found it expedient to have a
supply of Chamberlain Collie, Chol-

Other Information.
CHILD OF DR.. PARKER

DR.. Woodbridge johnson and wife,
who have lived for six years in Ko-
rea, where their three children were
born, have returned to this country,
the doctors health having become
greatly impaired. Mrs. johnson Is a
daughter of the Rev. Addison Parker,
of this city, with whom she has been
spending the summer.
"Ny husband,' said Mrs. johnson,
"was sent out by the Presbyterian
board as IA medical missionary to Tai
ku, Korea, and | went with him. Tai
ku is 100 miles north of Fusan. From
Taiku to Seoul is a seven days jour
ney overland.
THE rainy season in Korea, said
Mrs. Johnson, els in the months OF
July and August. Sometimes 1T begins
in the later part of June. When that
is the case, it ends early in August.
1t is not a continuous rain during
that season. It is rather a succession
of freshets, with days between when
the roads will be come dry again.
But the roads are narrow, and when
muddy are impossible for carts.
"When my husband Travelled any
where lie and those who went with
him had to 90 single file over these
roads. When we were building our
house at Taiku we could not haul the
l
roads. All the material had to be
carried on men 5 shoulders.
Gas far as the outside is concerned
the Koreans are more cleanly peo-
pile than the Americans. Their cloth
ing is simply immaculate. The women
are kept busy washing. We once in
vited a young man to dinner. He came
late and explained his non-arrival by
SAYING that he had to wait until his
suit had been washed, dried and iron

low silk gauze. The ironing process is
one that takes time. The ironing is
done by beating the clothes with
sticks. The linen is wound in roll
and then beaten.
~ never saw any Russians in Ko-
rea. The Koreans know little about
them, and have agreat dread of them.
They have heard the Russians are a
fierce and cruel people, and do not
want to have anything to do With
them. The Koreans are quiet,
peaceabe people. They have their
little rows and neighborhood Quarrels,
but there is little fighting. When they
drink too much of their native
wine they get boisterous, but their an
ger usually passes away in a food of
abuse. An onlooker would think they
were about to tear one another to
pieces, but nothing comes Of it. -
