WAR SEEMS PROBABLE.
The Russian Proposals to Japan Unsatis.
factory-Trying to Intercept Ironclsds
Powers Landing Troops In Corea.

Toxic, Jan. 8.-The attitude Of Japan
toward the response Of Russia Is still
underlined. Premier Katsura, the min
lister of foreign affairs, the minister OF
war, the minister Of finance and the
minister of naval affairs have held O
council. It was decided that the cabi-
net confer with the older statesmen
before deciding on a course Of pro-
cedure. 1t is manifest that the Rus
sian proposals are unsatisfactory. 1t
is believed that Russia will make con-
cessions in one direction and impose
new conditions in another. The jap
anese nation is deeply stirred. Public
sentiment favors the abandonment Of
negotiations, believing them to be USE
less, and urges resort to arms.
Trying to Intercept Ironclads.
Port Arthur, Jan. 7, via Chefoo, Jan.
S.-Several warships left at midnight
to reinforce cruisers sent out for the
purpose of intercepting Japanese
squadron of four ironclads, which, 1t
is said, is now approaching Corea to
stop six Japanese coal-laden ships from
Japan, destined for Port Arthur, and
to cancel their charter to a Russian
firm.
Powers Landing Troops In Corea.
London, Jan. S.-The Daily Nails
Toxic correspondent says that all the
powers are landing troops in Corea
and that the British bluejackets land
ed at Chemulpo are expected to go to
Seoul Immediately.

SCHOOL OF ROUGH RIDING.
Peculiar Military Academy In the
West for the Teaching of Cow
boy H0rsemnnship.

Observers have been disposed to de-
plore the decline, and the apparently
inevitable disappearance, OF the cow
boy. With the destruction OF the graz
ing grounds for cattle. and the changes
which will hereafter prevent the driv-
ing of herds over vast extent OF ter
ritory. the nature of the cowboys work
aad therefore of his disposition will be
affected, says the Philadelphia Record.
II was the ambition Of every young man
who enlisted as a herder to become
matchless rider, and the diabolical char
acter Of the far west burro offered op-
portunities to meet DIFFICULTIES in riding.
One result was that the thoroughbred
cowboy was as much at home on the
horse as is q grandmother In her rock
ing chair. AS a pistol and rifle shot
he gained high plane. When the war
with Spain was declared 1t was the
instant idea Of President Roosevelt and
of ambitious patriots on the frontier
to organize regiments Of rough riders,
to be composed mainly Of the hardy and
fearless cowboys. The promptness with
which the navy did its work left little
for the rough riders to do; but 1t was
apparent that in event Of prolonged
war they would make a new record OF
efficiency for mounted men. 1t Is this
which has caused some persons to re-
gret the loss of the best school OF rough
riding.
Another reason why 1t is desirable tc
have ready cowboys from whom to draw
a light and reckless cavalry force is that
several European nations make 1t
point to drill soldiers in riding as men
have never been drilled before, even for
the circus. Perhaps the most daring ex-
ploits are demanded Of the military
horsemen of Italy, although the French
and the Germans are by no means lax
in their training. Men and horses are
drilled in the art Of descending the
most precipitous hills-declivities down
which most athletes would hesitate to
20 afoot and with Alpine sticks. Leap
ing over obstacles is carried to a dan
gerous height, and in short everything
the most spirited cowboy would under
take is made part Of the system.
It is from a lively appreciation OF
these facts that Buffalo Bill" who has
profited more than any other man from
cowboy exhibitions Of skill, has organ
lied company to establish peculiar
military academy In Wyoming, of which
the main feature will be rough riding.
1t is intimated that Gen. Miles will take
a leading part in devising scheme OF
instruction. Besides the young Ameri-
cans who will constitute the most Of the
pupils, a considerable number Of Eng
fish boys will matriculate at the open
ing.

WAR IS INEVITABLE.
So Says the Japanese Commission
or to the Worlds Fair.
TWO REPORTS FROM ST. PETERSBURG


st. Louis, Jan. 7.-"War between
Russia and Japan is inevitable
Whether now or later. 1t is bound to
come, and II 1t does come 1t is my
earnest belief that Japan. single and
alone, will whip her enemy" This
statement was expressed last night by
HAHN Ota, imperial commissioner
from Japan to the worlds fair, after
his arrival In St. Louis. In his own
county Mr.. Ota is high official in the
department of industry and commerce
and as such his statement on the
Russia-Japanese situation is signif-
cant.
THE disturbances In northern China
due to the boxer uprising have long
subsidized" he continued, "and Russia
should have by this time withdrawn
her troops, promise to which effect
she has broken as often as she has
made 1t. Japan should Of right in
sist on>her demands, and II Russia
chooses to disregard them and intends
to meet Japan on platform Of war.
she will find my nation ready and will
ing for the fray, deplorable as such
contingency should be. ...
Japan has slendid navy and an ex-
cellently trained army. Why should
she fear Russia? And she does not.
The veriest laborer has confidence in
the ability of Japan to hold her own.
The Japanese government will always
insist on maintaining the integrity OF
China and Corea, because otherwise
the commercial interests of the entire
world must be disturbed. We must
maintain the open door policy for all
nations, and to suppress Russia is the
only way in which this is to be done.
Russia will always encroach and for
this reason war is inevitable.
ut is not question of the independ-
ence Of Japan. Japan does not fear
for her independence from Russian
quarter 1t is question of preserv-
ing the peace Of the entire world. If
Russia should obtain control of Man
churia she would become the master
Of all China and eventually threaten
even India and the other countries of
Asia"
Two Reports from St. Petersburg.
Paris, Jan. THE st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Paris edition of
the New York Herald cables as fol-
lows:
"There is almost no hope Of peace
full solution and the public is expect
ing news of a battle resulting from
the landing of Japanese troops in
Corea. A battalion has been sent from
Vladivostock to prevent the Japanese
landing"
The Revue Russo says that at the
moment Of going to press the following
was received from an authoritative
source in st. Petersburg: "The proba-
bility of war is decreasing. At the
present moment Russia cannot make
a casus belli of temporary landing of
Japanese troops at Corean port with
the object Of maintaining order"
Great Britain Would Help Japan.
London, Jan. Editorials in this
mornings papers are almost unani-
nous in admitting that even II the
war should be confined to Russia and
Japan Great Britain cannot possibly
see Japan crushed and that although
not called upon to interfere by the
terms Of the Anglo-Japanese treaty,
yet in the event of Japan suffering a
great naval defeat Great Britain would
be almost compelled to go to her as
sistance.
