BOTH PARTIES WILL.
VOTE FOR WAR SUPPLIES.

London, Nov. 2S.-The Toxic corre-
spondent of the Times says:
Both the great political parties have
issued manifestos declaring the resolve
to grant ample supplies to prosecute
the war to the end. Both insist upon
a strong policy towards Korea and
for opening Manchuria to foreign trade
but whilst the leader of the SeiyukaI
(the party founded by Marquis Ito)
merely speaks of prosecuting Japanese
commercial and Industrial enterprises
in China, the progressives explicitly re-
greet the weakness of Chinese diplomacy
and urge an increase of Japanese in

LOSS TO AMERICANS
100000 ANNUALLY.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 27.-As soon as
the New Russo-German treaty is rat
flied, Russia expects to open negotia-
tions for the revision of commercial
treaties with other powers. One of the
most important results doubtless will
be the ending of the trade war with
the United States, which arose over
the imposition of a countervaillng duty
on Russian sugar few years ago.
Russia retaliated imposing the maxi
mum duty on American goods, practi-
cally ending American inportations and
destroying the growing Russian mar
ket for American manufactured goods.
The loss to American trade has been
about $40 900, 900 annually.
