London, oct 31-The improved prospects OF
a settlement Of the Eastern questions by con-
ference after the various points have been al
justed by direct negotiation have hnpar'eu
buoyancy to all markets. Imperial interests are
at stake in various difficult questions now raised
in South Africa by rival races, but Lord Cre"e
at the Colonial Office is a stronger man than
Lord Elgin and the federation OF the colonies
will probably be accomplished without serious
discussions.
What is needed as a tonic for all markets Is a
sweeping Republican victory in America loI-
lowing Sir Wilfrid Lauriers triumph in Canada-

The free traders and tariff reformers in Eng

TWO MONTHS WILL TELL
Whether There Is to Be Peace or War
 With Japan.

Berlin. Jan. 3.-,The next two months is regarded by the German foreign office and the admiralty as constitut- ing a critical period in the relations between the United States and Japan. If they pass without witnessing a break in relations high government officials are convinced that the United States and Japan will then enter upon an easier and safer basis of agreement.
 The development of the American Japanese situation is being studied here day by day because from it there may issue events which might change the present international balance and deeply affect Europe well as America.
 The Marine Rundschau the principal naval magazine of Germany says in its January number: If war does not come between Japan and the United States the latter may thank the preponderance of its fleet for the of peace. This fleet is already sufficiently strong to restrain Japan from the hazard of war"
