IMPORTANCE OF AMERICA.
Role Played Has Encouraged the
 JapanesA.

Paris. Jan. 20.-fne Temps this even ing published a leading article on the in- creasing importance of the role of the United States in the Japanese Russian situation. It reflects the growing French sentiment, which to some extent is shared in Government quarters, and says:
 'It cannot be disguised that the ap- pearance of the United States upon the scene is calculated to encourage Japan. '
 Continuing, The Temps reviews the carly friendship between RlIssla and rllsi United States and the alleged recent gradual estrAneement, which is attributed to the ratification of the commercial treaty between China and the United States. and declares that this may "be according to the view taken at Washing ton and St. Petersburg. either the final point of departure for new complications or the happy conclusion of misunderstand- ings."
 The paper adds:
 Tt depends much upon the wisdom and pacific spirit of President Roosevelt in exerting upon the crisis his conciliatory influence at Tokio. as it is hoped Great Britain has done already, and as it Is believed France is not ncglectfng to do at St. Petersburg"

ATTACKING UNITED STATES.
Russian Press Has Ceased Assaults
 on Japan.

St. Petersburg, Jan. N.-The attacks on Japan in the Russian press are ceasing. The newspapers print prominently reports to the effect that the acute phase is pass ing and they continue to assert that me diation is unnecessary.
 A confusion of IOlongampho. in Subig Bay. near Manila, with Yongampho. on the Yalu River. has led the Russian press into curious attack on the United States. The statement that Rear Admiral Evans squ adron was to proceed to Olongampho was either garbled in transmission or misunderstood, for 1t was reported here that the destination of the American ships was at Yongampho.
 This eror was made the basis of an at- tack on the motives of the United States by the NoYoe Vremya and Listoko. both papers pretending to see in this movement the entrance of the United States into the quarrel. The Novoe VIemya remarks:
 At least America will be an open en- emy, which Is preferable to a secret one"

FRANCE TO BE NEUTRAL.
Will Not Take Sides If England
 Joins Japan.

Berlin, Jan. -V.-I.o Hcrman Govern ment has become prlvy to the fact that France declines to give Russ.a any as- surances of armed help should war be the outcome of tine far Eastern occur rences. even should Great Britain aid Ja- pan.
 It is understood here that Russia asked France to define her position in the con- tingency of Great Britain actively partlc- ipating in Japanese attack on Russia, and that the French Government replied that France must remain military-neutral as the Russian French alliance was quite separate from the question now pending. This resolution of France, it is believed here, deeply affects not only the situation between Russia and Japan, but tile Franco Russian alliance.

SUBSIDIES

 Reports. FORMER FOR COMMISSION Latter FavOrS Action by House
 Committee.
FORMER FOR COMMISSION
Chairman arosvsnor Presents Some
  Figures as to United States Com merce and Its Transportation in American Bottoms.

Washington, Jan. 2o.-In his report to the House filed today In favor of the bill authorizing committee to consider the question of ship subsidy, Representative Grosvenor, Chairman of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. says:
 We flatter ourselves justly that we are & leading nation in all that makes a na- ton great. and yet we are a subservient nation and a l6lpless nation in one of the great factors of national wealth and na- tional independence.
 "Other nations carry out products to the markets of the world"
 General Grosvenor says that of almost a billion dollars worth of exports to Flu rope during the fiscal year, 1902, only one and three-quarters per cent was carried in American vessels. Of nearly five hum dred million dollars worth of imports du- ring that year. American ships carried only $S0,0O0,OoO worth.
 Postal Subsidized Line.
 He says that had it not been for the American line subsidized by postal sub sidy. the total of our trade with Europe carried under the American flag would not have exceeded one-sixth of one per cent. t
 For the carrying of that trade. General Grosvenor says We paid $200O00,OO0. which amount, he maintains, should have gone into the pockets of Americans.
 The minority members of the Commit tee have designated Representative Luck ing of Michigan to present their views. These will contain the following reasons why the bill should not pass:
 we are opposed to Congress abdicat- ing its functions in favor of any com mission whatever. The history of such commissions shows that almost invariably their work has been useless and expen- sive and has come to naught.
 We are utterly opposed to ship boun- ties, and have reason to believe that the adoption of such a policy is the real aim of the bill. We are in favor of the reha- Utilization of our merchant marine by ef- fective measure to be enacted at the pres ent session, of Congress.
 Actaen by Committee.
 We favor immediate action by this Coumit9ee in the way of Investigation and bearings and then the lHihgfng in by this Committee of bill t<atting in force substantially the system of discriminate ing tonnage and import dues which was enacted by the early Congresses of the United States and which resulted in the immediate and permanent upbuilding of our merchant marine. This system has the prestige of successful experience which cannot be said for any other while the subsidy plan has been substantially a failure, both at home and abroad.
 "The policy of discriminating duties was inaugurated by Jefferson, Madison and Monroe and 1t received the endorsement of the Republican National Convention of 1896. of William Mckinley and William P. Frye, now President of the Senate, and may therefore be justly denominated non- partisan and strictly American.

 About fifteen men have been taken out and have been sent to the hospital or are lying in improvised cots in offices near by. It is impossible at present to learn the extent of their injuries but it is known that several are in critical con- dition.

NOW FOR MoDIFICATroN.
Chicago's New Theatre Ordinances
 Are Too Stringent.

 Chicago, Jan. 20.-It is probable that the City Council next Monday night will again consider and revise the new theatre ordinance
 A meeting between the theatre mana gers and a special committee of the Al dermen will be held later in the week, at which the managers will announce what is physically possible for them to accom- pIIsh in making their theatres safe. and at the same time reopen for the balance of the theatrical season.
 There is a general feeling among the Aldermen that the essentials demanded of the theatres before they are allowed to open their doors Is somewhat too stringent and notifications may be made at the regular Council.
 At the same time there are many Alder men who are strongly of the opinion that the theatres should not reopen for bust- ness until they have been made absolute ly safe. It Is likely that there will be a strong fight in the Council before any action looking to q further relief of the. theatres is made.
