ahira called at the state department to-
day and had brief conference with the
acting secretary. His visit was for the
purpose of conveying an important COM
munication that will prepare this govern
ment for the course of action japan is
generally expected to take.
He gave the acting secretary brief re-
sumo of the negotiations, pointing out
the patience with which Japan had wait
ed more than reasonable time for the
Russian reply.
The minister said Manchuria had al
ways been regarded by Japan as vital
part of the negotiations. This fact leads
the Washingtn officers to believe that
Russia's refusal to make treaty on this
point will be followed by war

RUSSIA CLAIMS THAT
CONCESSIONS WERE MADE.

for substantial concessions have been
made, upon which the negotiations can
readily continue. Russia is prepared for
eventualities and rupture of the negotia-
tions, not as ostentatiously as Japan, but
none the less effective.
The Temps correspondent at ST. Peters,
burg telegraphs that the Russian reply
is considered by those close to Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff as being of nature
to give satisfaction to Japan. He adds
that while ignorant of the contents of the
reply. 1t is easy to divine that 1t is
'couched in most conciliatory terms and
acy in Korea, but rejects the erection OF
point. In Manchuria. Russia recognizes all
the rights acquired but will make no en-
gagements for the future.
The pacific disposition of the czar and
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff is expressed
publicly. His excellency is in elegant hu-
NOR and seems happy. The mobilization
of the expeditionary corps is proceeding
rapidly.
War will not be popular, and will not
provoke enthusiasm, but will be none the
less energetically conducted. The finances
of the empire are sufficiently prosperous
to provide the government with all the
money it may need. French holders of
Russian obligations can close their ears
to the cries of alarm, which have come
to them from Germany and Egypt and
hold all the Russian securities they pos
sess. knowing that Russia will not fail
to meet her obligations.

of the leading diplomats asked M. Del
casse whether he considered war a mat
ter Of a few days.
"On the contrary the minister replied,
II do not believe 1t likely to occur for a
month or two, even should the negotia-
tions completely fall"
This accords with the view of other
leading officials and diplomatists, who
hold that the failure of the negotiations
would be followed by period of strategic
preparation of raising large war funds
and of maneuvering for position. The
raising of war funds Is considered here
as being one Of the most vital questions
should the negotiations fall

ATTENTION Is RIvETED
ON OMNIBUS WAR CLOUD.

Paris, February 6.-Public attention is
rivetted on the ominous war cloud hang
ing over the far east, and for the time be-
ing Dreyfus, the Humberts and the ex-
pulsion of the religious orders were tenn
porarily forgotten.
The newspapers reflect the public feel
ing that war is very near at hand, only
the most conservative maintaining that
pacific solution Is possible. 1t is notice
able that those having government rela-
tions take discouraging view. Official
opinion has clearly turned toward the
pessimistic side, although not yet ready
to concede that the last chance has gone
The officials are, however, convinced
that Russia viii not yield to Japans
demands relative to Manchuria, so that
If war depends on that issue 1t will be
for Japan to make final decision.
In the matter of actual news, the for
eign office was unable today to give addi-
tional information, as it has not yet been
officially advised that the Russian reply
has been sent.
In the meantime, the embassies and le-
cations are the centers of unusual actlv-

General Sanchez, Dominican minister,

the day and left a note expressing re-
gret for the killing of Johnston the ma

He promised that steps would be taken

THE POCHOUG HOUSE.

Westbrook, Conn, is an ideal place
to spend a vacation, especially for
children. The little ones can get
more solid enjoyment here than at
any place on the coast. The beach
is the safest possible and is lined with
young people most of the time. The
water is SO shallow that the children
can wade for rods and rods with i'm
pnuity. Little tots just able to toddle
are out with the rest having the time
of their lives. When the tide is out
lagoons are left which give an oppor-
tunity for rowing for beginners. The
boy or girl that cannot handle a boat
is the exception at this resort. While
Westbrook is paradise for children,
there is plenty of amusement for the
older ones. Bathing, sailing and fish
ing are of course the leading amuse-
ments, but the country all around is
very beautiful for those who enjoy
driving. The Pochoug house, leased
by Fl. e. Newton for the season, is
admirably situated. The water at
high tide comes within few feet of
the piazzas ON the seaward side. Peo-
pie can sit on these piazzas and watch
the animated spectacle of the various
kinds of sailing craft, drinking in
health with every breath of the in
vigoraitng air. On the other side of
the hotel is a beautiful stretch of
farming country which forms rest
full, pleasing picture. Mr.. Newton
has done land Office business during
July, and applications are coming on
very mail for rooms in August. Ths
same careful attention to the table
that has made the landlord popular at
other hotels is in evidence at the
Pochoug, and guests are anxious to
have their friends come and enjoy the
luxury of first-class table in connec-
tion with the natural advantages of
the hotel. Several Monson people are
already registered at the Pochoug and
others will arrive in a few days.
Several couples from Stafford Springs
are coming next week, With Mrs.
Newton as hostess the Pochoug is the
most homelike place that people Of
Monson and vicinity can find for their
summer rest. Il. u. Cady.
