Japanese Opinion Of Russia'ss Attitude
Regarding Chinese Neutrality.
Tokio, jan 1.-THE note of the Rus
sian government to the powers calling
attention to the alleged violation by
China of her declared neutrality, which
Russia charges has been at the in
stance of Japan: the raid of Lieuten-
ant General Mistchenko's cavalry
southwest OF Liao Yang, resulting as
the Japanese claim, in the deliberate
invasion of neutral territory, and the
alleged violation of French neutrality
by vessels of the Russian second Pacific
squadron by making a prolonged stay
at ports on the Island of Madagascar,
have created the impression in official
quarters here that the Russians are
trying to involve France, China and
other powers in the Russo-Japanese
troubles in the Far East so that Russia
may be enabled to take her defeat with
greater grace, ~.
A prominent Japanese official said to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press to-day: France recently denied
that vessels of the Russian second Pa
cific squadron were stopping at NADIA
gascar, but since then it has not uttered
a word, and the situation is one calling
for explanation"

TALBOT SUED FOR SLANDER
BISHOP MADE DEFENDANT IN
ACTION By IRVINE,
Suit Brought by Rev. DR.. Irvine and
Damages CIained-New Phase of
Case Brought About by Suggestion of
Rev. DIR. John Fulton, Editor of the
Church Standard,


Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE controyer-
sy between Right Rev. Ethelbert Tai
bot, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Central Pennsylvania, and
Rev. Dr.. I. N. W. Irvine took new
turn to-day, and it is probable that the
whole affair will be aired in the civil
court. DR.. Irvine filed notice of a suit
for slander against Bishop Talbot, ask
ing damages. The papers were served
on the bishop, who came to this city
to-day to preside at the meeting of the
general committee on Sunday school in
struction of the Episcopal church, OF
which he is chairman.
Dr. Irvines action was the result of
a suggestion made by the Rev. DR.. John
Fulton, editor of the Church Standard,
this city, in letter to the Rev. Daniel
!. odell, of this city, during the early
stages of the controversy. In that let
ter DR.. Fulton made the suggestion
that If Bishop Talbot had made state
ments concerning DR.. Irvine which were
not true he had redress in the courts.
To-day DIR. Irvine had consultation
with an attorney, and later filed notice
of the suit. The papers were filed with
the clerk of the sheriff's office, and
placed in the hands of process server,
who went in search of Bishop Talbot
and served the notice upon him.
Bishop Talbot could not be seen by
newspaper reporters tonight and con,
sequently nothing could be learned as
to his intentions. The amount of dam
ages asked by DR.. Irvine is not known.
1t is believed that the deposed priest
brought the legal action against the
prelate because of the failure of the ec.
clesiastical board of inquiry recently
appointed by Bishop Tuttle to investi-
gate his charges against the bishop.
The board Of inquiry at its meeting
in Reading decided that it was uncan-
onically constituted, and therefore with
out juricdiction. u

GERMAN MINERS STRIKE.
Official Report shows Tint 122,812 Men
ii ,.@ Are Out.


Essen, Germany, Jan. l7.-According
to reports received at the official mine
office, 1852 men from 1877 coal mines
are on strike to-day. The leaders of
the strike had a meeting with the gov
ernment commission this afternoon and
explained the grounds for the strike.
The expectation still continues that the
dispute may be ended soon, owing to
the governments strong desire to set
tie the controversy. Chancellor Won
Buelow's speech in the Prussian Diet,
affirming that the governments two
duties toward the strike were to pre-
serve order and assist in a settlement
so as to save German industry from a
great calamity, gives the miners hopes
of obtaining concessions.

sirous of remaining strictly neutral, and
was doing her utmost to prevent the
violation of her neutrality by either
belligerent. #
Secretary Hay had another confer

the Chinese minister to-day, the latter

afer Count Cassini's departure. The
minister reported that he had received
a telegram lTOIIl HIS BOFeIlliiSnL saohAIlS

Count Cassini said tonight that Rus

the fact that she had absolute proof
that Chinese neutrality was being FREE
quently violated, and that unless China
mended her ways and maintained with
the assistance Of the other neutrals as
we'll as Russia an attitude of strict neu-
trality, the Imperial government would
be forced to look first to Russia's in

Russia wishes China's neutrality main
