out as a natural consequence the practical
control of the commerce Of the Pacitc by
that nation.

going to have war with Japan, but any
one who thinks that Japan has not the
courage to make war or the financial ca
pacitv to carry it out has not read prop

st. Petersburg. Feb. 1.-The Turko-
Bulgarian deadlock over the amount
of money to be paid Turkey by Bull
garia because of the Bulgarian declara-

ceptance Of a plan proposed by Russia
which reconciles in a noval manner the
Turkish claim of S24.O00,000 and the Bull
sarian offer of SIG. 800 0G0.
This plan is based on the indemnity
of 81 600, 000 a year, which, in accordance
with the Berlin treaty of 1855. Turkey
is to pay Russia for 100 years. These
payments bear no interest. The Rus
sian proposal is to remit them until tn,
Turk sin claim against Bulgaria Is salts
fed. Russia viii collect instead sl6.-
400, coo from Bulgaria in similar INSTALL
ments. These payments will bear in
terest and the amount of this interes'
will recoup Russia.
Bulgaria has formally assented tC
this proposal and the Russian govern
ment has assurances that the plan /:
satisfactory to the Turkish govern
ment.
The settlement of the TurkO-BIl'
