HOUSE DRAWS
PURSE STRINGS
Refuses TO Increase the APP
preparation for Purchase of
Building Site in Los Angeles
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Senator Per-
lins to-day introduced bill similar to
that introduced in the House last week
by Daniels granting the right to the
Imperial Land Company Of California
to take water from the Colorado River
for irrigation purposes. The amount re-
quired is named at 10000 feet.
The House to-day refused to concur
in the Senate amendment to the appro-
priations bill making an additional ap-
preparation OF s19, 600 to the S175,OOO al
ready appropriated for a Federal build
ing site at Los Angeles. Representa-
tive McLachlan made a plea on the
floor in behalf of the new appropria-
ton. calling the attention Of the House
TO the fact that the Secretary of the
Treasury had especially recommended
il. and that with the rapid advance in
real estate values in Los Angeles Con-
gress would probably have to pay a
much larger sum for a site in the near
future if the purchase was not made
now.
Mr. Hemenway, chairman of the
committee, moved for a non-concur-
renee. chiefly on the ground that the
appropriation did not properly belong
in the pending bill within the prov
.nce Of his committee, but rather with
the committee on public Buildings and
grounds. The matter viii be heard
again before the joint conference COM
/ mittee.

and Japanese Troops Have Sailed.
BERLIN. Feb. S.-A dispatch to the
Cologne Gazette from Vienna says Ad-
miral Baron Won Spaun. commander in
chief of the Austrian navy. has received
a dispatch from the commander of the
Austrian legation guard at PelIing TO
the effect that Japan has embarked
her regiments Of guards and two army
divisions on forty steamers. The dis
patch added that a Russian cruiser di-
vision had sailed from Port Arthur and
that fighting was expected hourly.
The German Government is prepared
to issue a proclamation Of severe neu-
trality should hOstilities begin. The
popular German feeling is divided be-
tween a certain admiration for the lit
tie people of Japan and the necessarily
greater community of interests. in in

Russia. Germanys neutral atti-
tude is a complex of vague territorial
hopes in China. long-standing intoler-
ance of Japan's ambitions. dislikes OF
Russia and a desire TO separate Russia
from France by winning Russia's good
will.
The Russian embassy in a statement
given to the National Zeitung says war
probably cannot be averted and that
mediation by other powers is wholly
out Of the question.

ing her advantage beyond reasonable
limits. Incidentally it was also pointed
out that the two nations named prof
tied themselves by the acquisition of
most important strategical points
which had been the object Of Japan's
operations.
Therefore it is said to be within the
probabilities that some sort of con-
ference will follow a Russo-J Japanese
war. The United States has always
held aloof from combinations in such
cases, but as in the case of negotia-
tions which terminated the Boxer
troubles. the policy has been to work
on parallel lines when such a cause is
for the common good.

the tenor Of the Russian reply, and
adds that even Japan's extraordinary
manner of rupturing relations has
evoked no chauvinism in Russia, but
merely an outburst Of keener patriot

following is the text Of NJ. Kurino's
statement Of February to the For
eign Office here:
The independence and territorial in
tegrity OF the Korean empire being re-
garded by the japanese Government
as absolutely essential to their own
country's security and repose, they
cannot view with Indifference any ac-
tion tending TO render the position OF
Korea insecure. The Russian Gov
'ernment has by means OF inadmissibie
amendment successfully rejected
Japan's proposals respecting Korea. the
adoption of which the japanese Gov
eminent regarded as indispensable 10

tOrial integrity of the Korean empire
and to safeguarding Japan's prepOn-
dering interests in the peninsula

This attitude on the part OF Russia.
coupled with their successive refusals
to enter into an agreement with re-
spect to 'China's territorial integrity in
Manchuria. which is seriously menaced
by Russias continued occupation of
that province. Notwithstanding her
treaty engagements with China and
her repeated assurances TO the other
powers having interests in the same
region, has rendered IL necessary for
the Japanese Government TO seriously
consider what measures of self-defense
they are called upon to take in the
presence Of the delay on the part OF the
Russian Government in connection
with the pending negotiations which
has remained largely unexplained. and
OF their naval and military activity.
which it is difficult to reconcile with
an entirely pacific aim.
In the pending negotiations the jap
anese Government has exercised a de-
gree OF forbearance which 1t believes
affords absolute proof OF its loyal
desire to remove from the relations
between Japan and Russia every cause
for future misunderstandings, but find
ing in its efforts no prospect Of Sc
curing from the Russian Government
any adhesion either TO Japan's mOder-
ate and unselfish proposals or to any
other proposals likely to establish a
firm and lasting policy in the Far
East, the japanese Government now
has no other alternative than to ter
inmate the present futile negotiations.
In adopting that course the japanese
Government reserved to itself the
right to take such independent action
as it may deem best TO consolidate
and defend Japan's menaced position.
as well as to protect her rights and
legitimate interests.
