SEEKING WAR.
Opinion Expressed by Japanese Minis
ter at Washington.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Mr. Takahira,
the Japanese minister, has not been
informed by his government OF the re-
ceipt of the Russian reply. but he has
received advices from Toxic which
show the feeling there to be one OF
great evaporation at the delay in the
receipt of the Russian reply, for which
no explanation has been given. he
described the situation as being very
grave He was not surprised to hear
that NJ Kurino, the Japanese minis
ter, was preparing to depart from the
Russian capital In view OF the actlv-
ity of the Russian military forces the
Japanese believe that Russia is bent
On war Special emphasis is placed
by Japanese officials upon the forward

head of the war party, for flnal reVl-

WIDESPREAD DEPRESSION.
Commercial Circles Fear General Eu-
rooean Confagration.

New York, Feb. S.-Prospect OF a
great war in the Far East, which is
acknowledged even in hitherto most
pacific quarters. has been brought ap-
preciably nearer by the developments
of a day or two. That a Russo-Jap-
anese conflict will be followed by a
Balkan outbreak later likely to de-
velop into a widespread European con-
ttagration, is also considered extreme
ly probable and increases the depres-
sion pervading all political and com
mercial circles.
Ottieial circles, the press and the
public have already practically decided
nothing can avert war and probably

suspense. when the first gun is fired,

MEASURES FOR DEFENSE.
Forces at VIadivostock Ready to Repel
Hostile Attack.

Vladivostock, Feb. 8.-Even the sau-
shorites here apparently are without
information in regard to the general
situation. They receive casual in.
structions from which it is apparent
that preparations are on the increase
TO repel a hostile attack, but no COM
prehensive steps have been taken, nor
has there been any SPECIFIC allotment
of funds without which many things
are impossible. The movement OF
troops toward Korea has been stopped.
The public is greatly depressed by
the uncertainty and banking and mer-
camille operations are at standstill.
If Vladivostock is blockaded the
Offices of the Ussuri railroad and the
law courts will be transferred to kha-
barovosk and the administrative offices
to Nikolsk, IIssuri.
Ii is rumored that all strangers,
whether Russian or foreign, will be re-
quested to leave the precincts of the
Notifications and the native residents
will be required to provide quarters
for 5000 soldiers with horses, with
orders TO mobilize the reserves being
expected hourly.

RECOGNIZED ~ JAPAN.
Russian Contention Against FortIfica'
ton of Southern Korea.

London, Feb. S.-With reference 10
the reiterated statement from Russian
sources that Russia could not agree TO
a Japanese fortification Of Southern
Korea, as ii would endanger the neu-
trality of the straits Of Korea, the Jap
anese legation said that Japan had
already recognized the reasonableness
of this contention on the part of Rus
STA and had readily agreed that the
passage of the straits OF Korea should
be perfectly free. Japan, however, re-
fused to agree TO the neutral zone sug-
gestion because she believed 1t would
become virtually 4 Russian sphere OF
influence in view of her large conces-
sions on the Yalu river. Moreover, II
Japan had granted this demand IL
would have been in opposition to
Japans contention that the independ-
euce and integrity OF Korea must be
recognized.

FEAR WAR is AT HAND.
Russia Standing on the Tiptce OF Ap'
prehension.

St Petersburg Feb. S.-Russia is
standing on the tiptoe OF expectancy
and apprehension. Her reply having
now reached the hands of the Japan
ese government at Toxic word there
from is awaited with extreme anxiety
The air is filled with grave fears
that it will mean the parting OF the
ways for Russia and Japan. The
strain is intensifying. The feeling
that Japan will stand firmly on her
former demands against whatever con
cessions Russia can offer consistent
with the maintenance of her pride is
becoming a conviction here. An Off
cial of the foreign Office said
The world understands our posi-
ton pretty we'll. There is no reason
why the situation should be consid-
cred changed, either for the better OF
worse. So far as the actual state OF
the negotiations is concerned matters
should be improved by the Russian
answer. which is framed in the
Most conciliatory Spirit.
Nevertheless, there is serious
doubt as TO the course the Japanese
government will pursue. Russia has
done her utmost, but the other side
must yield if common ground is TO
be found The Japanese people and
press have been kept in continual
state of excitement by false reports,
invented, We believe, to create dlStrust
OF our purposes and pacific intentions.
How far the Japanese authorities can
withstand the popular tide is ques-
ton"
In sharp contrast with this calm anl
even hopeful view voiced by the Rus
sian official is the gloom which pre-
walls at the Japanese legation ant
British embassy, where no efforts are
made to disguise the feeling of pro
found disquiet over the outlook.
The belief is almost openly ex.
pressed here that if Japan considers
the reply unsatisfactory ii will be the
End of Diplomatic Negotiations.
Minister Kurino and Sir Charles Scott,
the British ambassador TO Russia, have
been in close conference, evidently de-
termining on action TO be taken In
case of rupture in negotiations,
which it is believed will be immedi-
ately followed, by the breaking OF OF
diplomatic relations. In this event NJ.
Kuriro will ask for his passports and
will leave ST, Petersburg al once. The
minister has already anticipated such
q contingency and is making arrange
ments to vacate the legation building.
Under the terms of the lease this may
be given up. II is even reported on
apparently good authority that NJ. ku-
rino has ordered special car TO be in
readiness at the Warsaw station 10
take him to Germany. The current af-
fairs of the Japanese legation will be
turned over TO the British embassy If
the worst happens.
The absence of M. kurno from the
theatricals given at the Winter palace
during the evening, which We're attend
ed by all the other ministers and by
the ambassadors, was generally re-
marked 1t was the first court fune-
tion he had missed this season.

MISS WADE'S SOCIAL
 WORK ON THE POST.

The recognized authority in social mat ters in the diplomatic circles Of this country is Miss Wade, the society editor of the Washington Post. For several years she has filled this position to the satisfaction of her paper and to the most exacting clintele in the United States. Nowhere in this country does society present so much that is interesting in the social customs of both the Old and New Worlds and the official life of Washington represented In the society columns of the Post, has never been exaggerated or overdrawn as less capa- ble writers might have been tempted into doing. second distinguishing trait of Miss Wades work is It's accuracy, as apart from exaggeration. It Is said that her columns are so singularly free from errors of any kind and that the cabinet ladies and women in the diplomatic corps. consider her work so reliable that no writer on social matters is able to dis pute Miss Wade's claims as the author ity on social diplomatic news.
 The dignity and reticence of her work Is said to be expressive of her own personality.
