shortly after the legislature begins its
tion was made known at the White

| cial investigating commission was

Washington, Jan. 13.-There will be
no reduction of tariff on sugar i'm
ported from the Philippines or else
where. This assurance was given to
Charles Boettcher of Denver today by
Senator Warren, who has been keep
ing in close touch with the situation
and is in a position to speak advised
ly upon the subject
Paris, Jan. 13.-The probable result
of a war between the United States
and Japan is the subject of a series
of articles just published in lie Petit
Journal by an anonymous naval ex-
pert. While admitting that the feet
of Admiral Evans is superior to that
of the Japanese. the writer maintains
that the moral value of the Japanese
crews is much superior to that OF
the Americans. He declares that the
Japanese sailors have shown them
selves vastly superior to the Ameri-
cans. and, indeed to those of all other
nations, He accounts for this by the
intense patriotism of the soldiers OF
hiit ihihuuos toupitu WIN phlO-
sophie and fatalistic bravery. The
strategic position oil the Japanese is
also superior. declares the writer.
They are in position to seize Ha-
wall easily and thus prevent Admiral
Evans from reaching the Philippines.
The recall Of Ambassador Aoh, he al
leges, is merely preliminary to such
action, and the insults" offered to
the Japanese in California will serve
as an excuse.
The French writer declares that the
Japanese despise the American navy,
and believe that the Japanese fleet
will be able to send 1t to the bottom
Russians. The French critic does not
agree with this. and gives it as his
opinion that Admiral Evans would be
victorious except for the strategic odds
against him. The resuscitated Rus
sian ships, instead of being an ad-
vantage to the Japanese navy, he be-
lieves will be positive hindrance to
the success of the projects of Japan.
The article concludes with the state
ment that before Admiral Evans feet
rounds the Horn the Japanese will be
in position to seize Hawaii and that
this action will begin what will prob
ably be the most sanguinary naval war
fare in all history
| The position of England in the com.
| ing war is also the subject OF specula-
tion on the part OF the Journal writer.
He hazards the opinion that Great Brit.
ain is so closely bound to Japan that
while maintaining an attitude of neu'
trallty. the English would aid their
Pacific allies in every manner possible
and that this may possible lead to war
between the United States and Great
Britain. In this case. all Europe would
probably become embroiled, and the
greatest war in the history of the
world follow.
