st. Petersburg. Feb. "A plot evi-
IDENTIFY directed against the emperor
came to light today through orders
issued to the secret police TO use every
effort to identify the purchaser OF a
uniform OF his majesty's own Cos
sack escort which was captured dur
ing a recent raid. Detectives have
been directed to visit every tailor in
st. Petersburg and the searches may
be extended to the provinces.
The use OF regulation uniforms is
favorite device OF the terrorists. 1t
was employed In the attempt against
the life OF Premier Stolypin and In
the assassination of military procura-
tor, Pavlofr. The Cossack garb is an
open sesame to the precincts OF che
palaces at Tsarskoe Selo and Peter
hof.
New York, Feb. 1--WE must fight
Japan unless japan backs down. 1t
is inevitable. Japan wants to fight
and Is being egged on by Great Brit
ain, which wants to destroy our COM
merce in the east. As It stands now
Japan would fight us In minute were
1t not for public sentiment and the
fact that she must negotiate some
loans in England. The chances OF a
war with Germany are much less than
the almost certainty Of a war with
Japan"
Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson
said this emphatically at the hotel
Chelsea. He came to the city to be
the principal speaker at a mass meet
ing last night OF the peace society OF
the city OF New York at Cooper union.
Chicago. Feb. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says: war
with Japan 10 the remotest OF the pos
sibilities. The difference between the
two countries, owing to the refusal OF
San Francisco to permit Japanese
pupils TO enter the public schools Of
that city, never has reached the stage
where It created fear OF an armed
clash between the two countries. Re
ports OF possible war that have been
sent out from Washington are not only
misleading but are wholly unjustified
by any facts In possession of either
government. The relations between
the United States and the empire of
Japan never were more cordial than
they are today"
