LONDON CABINET MEETS.

Japan Does Not Expect an Immediate
Outbreak of War.
LONDON, Feb. S.-The cabinet coun-
Gil today is in response to an urgent
summons. and it will have a very grave
situation to discuss because of the war
crisis in the far east. There is also an
almost equally grave crisis in the near
east.
King Edward granted an audience at
Buckingham palace to Lord Roberts,
commander in chief of the army, and
Lord Charles Beresfoid, commander of
the channel fleet, with whom he I'M
doubtedly discussed the far eastern cri-
sis.
Statements of the Japanese case SIM
liar to the one issued in Paris have
been made also in London, Berlin and
other capitals.
AS IL result of the rupture of diplo-
matte relations Japan neither seeks nor
| expects an immediate outbreak of hos
| ~tilities. She trusts the Chino-American
! treaty will maintain the open door
and the status quo in Manchuria, and
she has prepared herself to watch the
attitude of Russia in northern Korea,
She will not, however, land troops in
| Korea without a distinct violation of
| the Korean frontier, in which event she
is prepared to act promptly.

Washington Government OmciaI1s
Notified by Count Cassfni.
WASHINGTON, Feb. SIT has been
officially announced here at the Rus
sian embassy that the Russian govern
ment has received a note from Japan
announcing the discontinuance of the
pegotiations and the interruption OF
diplomatic relations.
simultaneously with the receipt OF
this note it is stated that NJ. Kurino.
the Japanese minister at st. Petersburg,
was recalled by his government.
The Russian government then recall
ed Baron de Rosen, its minister at To
kyo.
The further statement is made that
the receipt of Japan's note announcing
the interruption of relations occurred
before Baron dc Roson had delivered
the full reply TO Japan.
The Russian government rescnts what
it declares to be an unwarranted inter-
ruption of negotiations which, it was
hoped up to the last, might result in a
peaceful settlement.
All hope of avcrting var now. it is
frankly admitted, has been abandoned
by the Russian government. Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, upon
receipt of the cablegram from st. Pc
tersburg called upon Acting Secretary
of State Loomis and informed him of
the interruption Of relations.

DEADLY AUTO.
Two Hen Hurt and a Horse Killed
 Near Coney Island.

New York, April 11.-One man has been probably fatally injured, another seriously hurt, a horse killed and a carriage and an automobile smashed in a collision between a twenty four horse power automobile and caT- riage at Ocean boulevard and the Neck road, near Coney Island
 The automobile ill charge of Will liam A.. Stark. of Brooklyn, was run ming from Coney Island at the rate of ten miles an hour. when the machine collided with a buggy carrying two Italian merchants from New York. The horsemen were injured most, however. and one whose skull was crushed probably will die. The auto. mobilists were bruised and cut and ii was necessary to kill the horse. The police found that the carriage was not provided with lights and was on the wrong side of the road, so they re fused to arrest Stark.

PLUMBERS OUT.
Twenty Five Men Quit Work at Danbury This
 Morning.

Derby, April 11.--Twenty-1ve men all members of the Plumbers and Steam Filters union of Derby, Shelton and Ansonia went out on strike to-day because the master plumbers refused to allow an increase in wages of six and one quarter cents per hour. At present the men are receiving 81 and one quarter cents and ask for 37 and and one half cents per hour.
 The members of the union submitted their proposal to the master plumbers on January s last with the understand ing that if no advance was made in their wages by March 8 the men would quit work on April II. As nothing has resulted from their petition, a strike was called to-day which prac- tically ties up work in all buildings in progress of construction.
 Three years ago the plumbers were paid $2.5O for day of nine hours. Two years ago their work was short ened to eight hours on the same wages. The men now say that the master plumbers receive 90 cents per hour for men sent ont on work of which the men receive but 31 and one quarter cents, which they claim is not enough.
 The master plumbers say that strike at this time will effect them very little as there is very little work being done in that line.

AMERICANS THERE.
Attended ffass By Pope Plus in St.
 Peters To-Day.

Rome. April 11.--For the first time since his coronation, August 9, 1908, the pope went this morning to St Peters to say mass in celebration of the thirteenth centennial of St Gregory the Great (who died in 604 A. D.)
 The immense baSilica of St Peters was filled, more than 10000 persons being present The pope was In the best of health. He appeared in the sedia gestato toria, although the motion of this chair, carried on the shoulders of bearers, makes him i'll.
 On his express recommendation, the people contented themselves with way ing of handkerchiefs and refrained from all applauding.
 The inside of St Peter's presented 8 grand sight. There were only three tribunes, for members of the aris- tocracy, diplomatic corps and royal families respectively. A special re served place for the popes family which was occupied by his three sis ters.
 The sistine choir, directed by Abbe Perosi, had special box near the throne. while grouped around 1t were twelve hundred youths of practically every nationality, race and color be longing to the ecclesiastical colleges sat Rome Yhe Denedictfne monks who formed the choir were also located here
 The arrival of Pope Plus was her aided by a blane of silver trumpets, He entered the church by the chapel Della Pleta where he entered the Sc dia Ges{atoria Although the process sion Was as gorgeous as ever It's re ception seemed cold after the frantic applause permitted by Pope Leo. This, however heightened the effect of the choir, which greeted him with music as he came in.
 America was represented in the pa pal procession by the Most Rev Rob ert Seton, titIlar archbishop of Heitop- olis formerly Of Jersey City, N J.; Right Rev John J. O'Connor, bishop of Newark. N.

Three Thousand Living Tn Upper

 MONTRNA.I4, April H. Three thou sand people in the village of Varaun, adjoining the western limits of the city of Montreal, were last night living in the upper stories of thelr houses, while several thousand more who re- side in that section of the city known as Point St. Charles were in danger. A large quantity of ice cama down from Lake St. Louis and damned up against the Victoria bridge. Tn few minutes the water began to rise and in a short time had reached the top of the dike built after the last great flood and which has been up to the present time sufficient protection.
 Tn short time it became possible to navigate all that portion of Verdun in the neighhorhood of Queens park with boats. All the teams that could be pressed into service were engaged in strengthening and raising the dike At 6 o'clock the water had reached a depth Of six feet on the streets. The danger is by no means yet over, for there is more ice to come down.
 La Prairie, which is situated oppo- site Verdun, was flooded at an early hour and four houses situated on the river front carried off their founda- tions by the ice. Lachine, which ad- joins Verdun to the west, is also

BOYS ARE HELD.
Plea of Guilty Entered Bonds Placed at $4.OOO
 in Each Case.

New Milford, April 1.-The five boy burglars charged w1tn stealing $12, 1000 from Henry Davis, recluse of this place, four of whom were Waterbury boys and were arrested in that city on Saturday last, namely, Benjamin Plant, Samuel Mccormick, Edward Wefmer and Fred BIodgett. and the fifth John Turner of New Milford, and who was arrested here shortly before the apprehension of the Waterbury youths, were arraigned In the town court this morning before Justice J. E. Merw1n, acting as trial judge. The parents of the boys were present in court and all seemed very much de- pressed over the circumstances which made their boys criminals and liable to q state prison punishment.
 Attorney John Addis appeared as prosecutor and James IL Mackin acted as counsel for the four Waterbury boys, while young Turner's father rep resented his son. As all the defend ants were under age the court named Attorney Mackin as guardian ad litIlm for his clients and Mir Turner SYas ap- pointed guardian for his son. The read- ing of the complaint was waived and a plea of guilty was entered as g for mality. Considerable discussion fol lowed in the matter of bonds for hold ing the boys for the superior court. The court finally decided to hold eacn of the accused in $400O, and they were taken to jail pending the possibility of any one or all of them securing that amount of bonds.
 It is possible that States Attorney Donald T. Warner will have the boys taken into court In Litchfield for trial at the next term Of the court which opens shortly
