nese railway administration, who ar
rived in Chicago from the Orient
in the early part Of the week, thus
described the situation. Mr.. Ames,
who is the son of United States Mar
shall John G. Ames Of the northern
district, spent considerable time in
Japan before sailing for America, and
was favorably impressed with the
race. He says the entire nation had
been stirred and that he believes war
cannot be averted.
In China, where Mr.. Ames has Ia
| bored several years with the lmperl-
al railway administration as a repre-
| sentative of the United States, the
sentiments of the people are divided.
| Mr.. Ames said the Chinese generally
hope for the success of the Japanese,
| II there should be war, but they De-
lieve the Japanese will be defeated
war has been in the very atmos'
pbere in the Orient for long time, ="
said Mr.. Ames. "The better class OF
people in China have been discussing
the situation, and they have always
appeared to believe that war must
come sooner or later The Chinese
believe a war would be disastrous for
Japan, but despite an element OF
| strife between the two nations, the
Chinese hope for the success OF the
Japanese.
Americans in China are making
wholesale improvements, much to the
dissatisfaction of the lower classes.

The demands Japan made, accord
ing to reports published abroad have
caused surprise in Toxic 1t is now
stated that Japan never asked for the
evacuation of Manchuria, but, on the
contrary, frankly recognized Russlas
interests there and her right to pro-
tect them. Japan demanded only the
realization of Russia's voluntary
pledges respecting Chinas territorial
integrity in Manchuria and the free
dom Of residential rights and interna'
tional trade therein.
A special dispatch from Toxic says
the ministers who attended the re-
cent conferences for the consideration

LOSS TO WORLD OF ART.
Keen Regret Felt at Death # Jean

Keen Regret Felt at Death Of Jean
Leon Gerome. \.
Jean Leon Gerome. the French
painter and sculptor, died at Paris
Jan. 10, at the age Of 80 years. His
death was unexpected. The night be-
fore, he dined with large party Of
friends, members Of the institute. In
the morning his valet found him dead
in his bed. He had died as he slept,
without a struggle to disarrange the
drapery Of his couch.
The first death Of the new year
in the world Of art is that Of Jean
Leon Gerome. He passed away in
old age, richly crowned with honors.
He was a member Of the Institute,
officer Of the Legion Of Honor cheya-
lier of the Order Of the Red Eagle,
and recipient Of many medals Of
honor, among them one from the
salon. He had been a great teacher
and a noted professor at the Ecole
des Beaux Arts. He had given some
attention to sculpture, but he Is best
known by his paintings, the list Of
which is extremely long. He was
also famous as designer and deco.
rator. The subjects Of his paintings
are mostly either classical or orien-
tai, and are both original and charac-
teristic In treatment, as well as curl
GUS In the types introduced. He was
an excellent craftsman and modeler,
and a master Of tone. He was weak
IN landscape work and did not often
employ it, but in interiors and with

Russia now has Japan's formal reply
to her last note and will await rea'
sonable time for the reply. The gen

construed by the government to mean
a week or ten days at most, and thal
at the end of that time Japan VIII
deem herself at liberty to act as her
best interest dictates,
Just what the tenor of the reply IS
no one knows, outside Of those whose

belief is that it simply tells Russia
that her suggestions as to Corea are
not acceptable and that Japan's para

be recognized.

Emmanuel letter in which the writ

would lend him 1000 lire for short
time. Since then two more letters

FINLAND breads Comma War.

England UTeauS NoH'lH9 war
There is tightening Of the war
clouds in the far East, according to
news in London, and the only ques'
lions seem to be when and how war
will come. There was report cur
rent that the Russian feet had left
Port Arthur, but this is hardly regard
ed as probable. 1t probably arises
from the closing of Vladiyostock by
ice and the probable departure of
whatever naval vessels may have been
in that port for Port Arthur,
Well.informed opinion is turning
more and more to the belief that the
trouble cannot be localized in case Of
war, and that England will certainly
be brought into the conflict. Her III
terests in Asia are of such a charac-
ter that the tremendous increase in
Russian prestige from a successful
war with Japan would greatly imperil
Their, not alone in China, but in In
dia as well.
There have not been wanting indi.
cations of spirit Of unrest in the
Indian Empire, which seems to be
steadily growing 1t would be to Rus.
sia's advantage to encourage this so
that she might have freer hand in
dealing with Afghanistan and Persia.
She would be in much better condi'
ton to accomplish her aims in Cen
trail Asia with Japan completely elm
mated from the equation. The Brit
ish government realizes all this, and
breads 1t. Hence the active work in
