Baron Hayashi, Japanese Minister to China,
against the extension of the railroad, gives as a
reason that parallel line would -injuriously af-
feet the Japanese railway and pronounces un-

be built nearer the Japanese line than is Gus
tomary in foreign countries Japan's course is
no longer considered a mere pretence by Great
Britain in view of the official action taken. but
violation Of equal rights severely affecting
British interests.

THE PACIFIC FLEET.
Sensational Rumors Discredited by
Advices from Toxic.
rs,a.,o, bv French Cable 10 The Tribune.l


Paris Jan. 4.-Sensational reports clrcuiateo
in Paris concerning the probability OF war De-
tween the United States and Japan are largely
due to speculative influences working upon the
Stock Exchange and are in absolute contradlc-
ton of information that reaches here from the
French representatives at Toxic and Washing
ton These authoritative advices lead TO the
conviction in government and diplomatic croieS
that there is not the slightest danger OF any
r,,pture in the friendly relations between the
United States and Japan. Neither OF these
countries it is believed h\re, even II VICTORIOUS
could gain anything by so costly and 1lloslcai
conflict one which would also bring England
Germany and perhaps other nations into the
struggle. The views expressed at the French
Foreign Office are most explicit on this point
Any idea that Japan would suddenly attack
the Tinted States fleet when in Asiatic waters
and thereby forfeit her friendly entente and
alliance with England, besides alternating the
whole of Europe is regarded absurd. No one
here imagines for moment that the United
States wishes to attack Japan Meanwhile the
dispatch to the Pacific of the American fleet,
the fortifcation of the Philippines and the other
naval and military preparations reported here
as being made by the Washington government
are considered by the French government simply
as measures of necessary precaution. Getting
ready for war by developing exercising and dis
pIaving the real fighting strength of the United
States is accepted here as being the wisest ana
best means of averting it. Z. l. b.

Paris Jan 4-Aristide Brands acceptance of
the Ministry of Justice means a speedy and
ergetic liquidation Of the complications that
have resulted from the application Of the sepa-
ration law. The Ministry of Justice has be-
come post of combat, and Premier Clemenceau
is commended for putting BRAND, who is re-
&arded as the strongest. ablest and most
getic man in active political life to-day in
France. to the front NJ BRAND is lawyer
and very able one. His intention is to wind
I'D the whole business of Church and State by
Immediately enforcing the laws and thus to pre-
vent more than twenty thousand suits, already
brought against the government by third parties
interested in ecclesiastical property, from clog
ging the law courts. to the detriment of all other
business. BRAND is a practical man of drastic
measures and has the courage of his opinions to
a degree that elcits respect and praise even
from his political. opponents.
The pugiiistic set-to already described by
cable between Count Boni de Castelane and
de Chaillot has caused quite tempest in society
teapots but it is not likely to have any other
results either in the law courts on the duel
ling field, although it may somewhat dampen
the friendly relations between the Prince de
Sagan and Nine, Anna Gould. who during the
last few weeks has given several dinners~and
receptions at which Prince de Sagan was
prominent guest 1t even hinted that be-
trothal was likely to result. Neither Count Boni
nor his opponen: and cousin, Prince de Sagan,
has gained in any way by the encounter. The
whole business is regarded an up-to- date
fguration of Moliere's inmtable comedy Of
The Misanthrore'' in which Nine Anna Gould
played the part of Celimene, Count Boni, her
divorced husband. acting the part of Alceste and
Prince de Sagan that of Oronte. Several news

rates comes on the cost Of getting to
St Louis. The rate from Chicago. for
ty miles greater distance than Indian
apolis. is 8 cents on furniture-the
rate from Indianapolis is 30 cents.
Cincinnati gets the Scent rate and
Louisville 4-cent rate TO ST. Louis
simply because they are on a naviga-
BILE river. They do not. however, ship
via the river, and most of the ship
ments from Cincinnati are carried by
the Big Four and the c., H. & d. up
through Indianapolis. Some of Louis
ville's 4-cent shipments are also
brought up through Indianapolis and
are carried to st. Louis over the same
tracks on which Indianapolis pays 80
cents.
The effect of this on the furniture
industry is taken simply as an exam
pie. 1t applies with practically the
same figures to practically all other in
dustries. The figures themselves may
iuctuate, according TO classification OF
the shipments, but the relative rate
and discrimination is the same.
