The United States, Great Britain and
France are named as possible direct or
indirect Intermediates, though II is not
improbable that Japan Will breach the

The fall OF Port Arthur immensely
strengthens the hand Of Japan. In the
actual conduct Of the war Port Arthur
has been a stumbling block to Japan,
which FOR six months has had engaged
there over 100000 troops and practically
her entire navy. This fact compelled
Field Marshal Oyama to fight the bat
tie OF Lao Yang short handed. Now the
entire navy is free TO prepare to meet

The PORTE REFUSES TO
PERMIT SALE or BIBLES.

Constantinople, Jan, 3,--The porte has
at length replied to the notes Of the
American legation and British embassy
regarding the sales Of Bibles and not
wlthstandlng previous assurances the
porte refuses to authorize street sales.
The porte's notes which are in Identical
terms declare there is no doubt that
agents Of the Bible societies indulge In
II propaganda IN explaining the uti-
fly and use Of the Scriptures and as all
propagaudas are forbidden by the laws
OF the empire the action OF the colpor-
tours brings them under prohibition.
Consequently the government can no
longer consent TO the system Of ped
ding Bibles, but must insist that tue
sales be confined exclusively to shops
or the depots Of the societies.
