DELAY IN NEGOTIATIONS
Japanese Government Unable to
PERTH american Statement

Toxic, Feb. S.-The delay in reaching a final
settlement of the emigration question between
Japan and the United States is due to differences
between the two governments concerning statis-
tics and minor details. the Japanese government.
in its memorandum Of December 81, maintain
ing the incorrectness Of the figures presented by
Ambassador O'Brien, which showed an extraor-
dnary number of Japanese entering America
since March, and replying to the American mem
orandum with the Japanese figures, which
showed a wide divergence.
The American memorandum Of January %
couched in the friendliest terms, said that 1t ap-
peared impossible to reconcile the discrepancy
in figures and suggested the possibility Of
frauds. The japanese government, determined
to discover the exact cause of discrepancy,
gagged last week in comprehensive investiga-
tion to unearth possible frauds. and 1t is con-
ceded that some cases have been discovered. but
these are insufficient to explain the disparity.
This investigation has caused ten days delay
in the negotiations. The Foreign Office has
pointed out that while it doubtless would be
gratifying to be able to write finis to the vexa-
tious problem it believes 1t best to clear up the
statistics. In the mean while no passports will
be issued to laborers.
The fact that emigration is completely stopped
removes an element of danger. The Foreign
Office is confident of satisfactory outcome OF
the question.

Of the situation in Portugal supplied by
travellers and missionaries from Lisbon than by
censored correspondence. They compare the
condition Of Portugal with that Of Spain before
the loss of the colonies, when the administrative
services were demoralized by corruption and the
nation was exhausted by the levies of taxation.
They declare that Portugal like Spain, would
be better of without colonies but that re-
public would be a certainty If any administration
were TO sell the East African or other posses
sions The moral that the end does not justify
the means is now being enforced. not against
the assassins red handed in atrocity, whose
crimes have upset the government, but against
the dictator who suspended the constitution III

an honest administration.

CENSURE FOR MILYOUKOV
Lack of Patriotism TO Be Charged
IN Resolution an Doumd.

G. Petersburg Feb S-The demonstrations
which took place in the Dounla yesterday against
Professor Paul Myoukov. leader of the Const-
tutionaI Democrats. arising from the hl-feelng
created here by his recent lecture in New York on
the political situation in Russia, ensrossed the
attention of the entire press of this city which
to-day unites in deploring an incident which TENDS
to fan partisan enmity and endanger the chanceS
os tho Douma's success" The occurrences OF
yesterday probab bly, will be followed up by formal
resolution censuring Professor Milyoukov for lack
Of patriotism and unparlamcntary conduct IN visit
ing foreign country to stir up sentiment OF
hostility while occupying Responsible po0ilion III
parliament.
The participation of the octobrsts in the demon
straton OF yesterday. under the leadership OF
Alexander J. Guchkofr. is regarded here as most
significant 1t shows that the feeling against Pro-
fessor Milyoukov is not confined to reactionary
fanatics like vladimir NJ. urishkevich but that
it is shared by the members OF the Constitutional
party which up to the present time has main
tanned arable relations with the Ieaoer OF the
Constitutional Democrats
Tn some quarters Professor Milyoukov is advised
to resign and seek vindcation at the hands Of his
constituents. but this he has declined to do. In
stead he has announced has intention OF insisting
that the report of the commission on national de-
fence in which strategic questions will be dis
cussed be read at closeu session of the Douma.
On American initiative a party Of Russian Lib
eraI Journalists is being organized TO visit the

LONDON DULL SOCIALLY
Memorial Seruices for King Carlos
Fashionable People Seeh; RiUiera.
Tspecial by French Cable TO The Tribune.l
copyright 1905. by The Tribune Association


London Feb. s.--The memorial services Tor the
Portuguese royalties to-day and Tomorrow are
melancholy substitutes for the court functions
MANNED for February. Society does not like to
give up courts and levees. and clings to the
hone that there will be some function at the
palace before the King goes to Biarritz. The
King and the Prince of Wales will remain IN
London through the month. but the Queen Is
likely to take refuge in Sandringham and enjoy
the society of the Empress Dowager OF Russia
Dublin functions have not been interrupted,
and there are political receptions at Lord KID
Iev's and other houses But London is so dull
that fashionable people are already swarming
across the Channel for the Riviera and Italy.
The memorial service in ST Paul's is described
as unique tribute to foreign sovereign and
proof of the Kings deep attachment to the King
of Portugal Services of this kind have been
held in memory of distinguished Americans,
either at ST. Paul's or the Abbey. President
Garfield President Mckinley and Secretary Hay
received full honors from sympathetic England.
Smart society is pluming itself upon the dis
covery that Tetrazzini has pumped heavily for
the Siclian players at the Shaftesbury Theatre.
II is singular social fad for it implies COM
plete reversal Of the usual preference for quiet,
listless acting. The Italian players in Malta"
and "Cavalleria Rusticana" act with crude art
and without restraint in the extreme violence of
utter physical self abandonment. They have
fine voices and forcible personalities, and have
mastered the art Of expressing passion by fren-
zied gesture and continuous movement. Grasso
and Aguglia are not still for instant. but act
with the terrible force of a whirwind, yet fash
ionable audiences are fascinated and spellbound.
Here in Paris, Beerbohm Tree, by an ex-
tremely brilliant performance, has commanded
success in The Beloved Vagabond" at His Maj
estys Theatre Mr. Locke has altered the story
in order to supply a happy ending in the mar
riage of the Vagabond with the widowed Joanna,

DISPUTES IN NEAR EAST.
Turkey Opposes austrian Rail1cay-
Russian Objections.

St Petersburg. Feb S.-Advices received here
from Constantinople indicate that the Porte is
backward in acceding to Austria's plan to
construct a railway connecting the Austrian
line through Bosnia with the Turkish line to
Salonica, through the district of Novipazar.
This construction is opposed by Russia The
Graad Vizer has announced that Turkey takes
an enlightened interest in railways as pro-
moters of progress, but prefers to build the
Novipazar line herself, dispensing with the
offer of Austrian capital.
1t is surmised here that the scheme on this
account. will be deferred for some time. as the
Turkish treasury has been depleted of resources
The British proposal to create flying column
Of gendarmerie, to be commanded by Europeans
and charged with the task of stamping out
marauding bands in Macedonia mentioned in
King Edwards throne speech, has not met with
favor from Russia on the ground that previous
undertakings of a similar sort in Egvpt and
Crete have not proved effective and have en-
tailed a vast amount of trouble on the native
population.
Russia also has frowned on another sugges-
tion, that a Joint note be addressed to Sofia
Athens and Belgrade.
Rome. Feb S-The situation in the Balkans.
which suddenly has attracted attention here
through the reported recall of Prince Ourou-
soft, Russian Ambassador to Austria Hungary
seems TO be graver than official statements make
it appear
Austria and Germany charge that Russia IS
trying to obtain revenge for her failure in the
Far East by turning her attention to the Near
East, and resunling her ancient traditional pol
icy of aiming at Constantnople. It is further
asserted by officials of these governments that
she is openly helped in this by France. and Sc
cretly by Great Britain, the latter thus oppos-
ing German influence.
Russia has emphatically declared that 1t
would be impossible to tolerate the carrying out
of the proposed plan for the construction of rail-
ways in the Balkans, as announced by Baron
Won Aehrenthal. the Austro- Hungarian Foreign
Minister, as this would mean, under the guise Of
commercial interest, a practical Austrian su
prenacy throughout the Balkans. Indeed, it
would mean Austria's reaching Salonica, and
Russia remarks, this would be equivalent to
having Germany at Salonica.
1t is believed here, however, that if con-
fict breaks out il Will not be between Rus
sia and Austria but between Russia and Turkey,
the latter being accused Of tavCring the Aus
trian plans under German influence.

MOROCCO CHIEF TOPIC
ENTERS ON NEW PHASE.
Return of French Troops to Settat
-Dirision ON Policy.
fspec.al by French Cable to The T,rihune.l


Paris Feb Sin the political world the alb
sorbing question of the hour is still Morocco
which to-day enters new phase with the
return Of French troops to Settat, where they
have dispersed the revolutionist tribes under
Mulai Hafg who was advancing to the neigh
borhood of CasabIanca. This is the first contact
between the French expedtionary column and
the army Of the Sultans brother, who claims
the Moorish throne 1t shows the French gov
ernment has no immediate intention of recog-
nizing his pretensions
The French policy, in fact, has always been
directed toward supporting the actual monarch
Abd-el-Aziz. the ground that his maintenance
on the throne, however badly he may govern. IS
preferable to an anarchal breaking up Of the
country. into numerous little sultanates. which
would inevitably ensue if either of the pretend
ers succeeded in overthrowing him.
AS to how the Moroccan campaign should In
the future be conducted the French parliament
and the Republican party is divided IN
opinion One section favors slow action and
strict fidelity to the programme Of pacific pene-
tration, with minimum of military effort. while
another group of which Senator Prevet, pro-
prietor of the Petit Journal" is the mouthpece,
thinks great military effort should be made at
once. Morocco promptly and effectualy pacfied
and to all intents and purposes conquered
Beth sections agree in recognizing the enor-
nous mineral wealth and industrial possibilities
Of Morocco. the exploitation of which is worth
securing for France even at great cost, but what
this cost in men and money might be no one
seems able to calculate, owing to the absence
Of accurate data. Even the Berber population
of Morocco. which is believed to be very dense,
in parts is variousy estimated at between four
millions and forty millions. For the moment.
