HOSTILE FEELING.

Toxic, Feb. 6.-The press is still

press will afford proof of the futility
of an effort to shake the profound
confidence which Japan reposes in
President Roosevelt and the American
people generally.

Wrong Direction.

soon be forced to consider an advance
in rates instead of a reduction The
rates here are down to about half of
the rates in Europe It seems to me
that tells the whole story"
