Washington Jan. 15. —Mr. Takahira. the Japanese minister here, called on Secretary Hay and Informed him that the Japanese reply to the last Russian note had been deuvered. The teply amounts to a denifl of all the important Russian propositions and Japan’s counter proposals. It is said are of a nature that will almost certainly make them unacceptable to Russia. Therefore a most pessimistic view of the future is taken at Tokio. On the other hand advices that come tn the state department from Paris, St. Petersburg and Berlin are all of a pacific character. Ambassador Porter at Paris cables that pressure is to be brought to bear on the would-be belligerents. and particularly on Japan by at least two of great neutral powers, to cause Russia and Japan to come to terms and so avert open hostilities The czar also is reported to be extremely desirous of preventing war Taking these two conflicting sets of advices Into consideration, the official opinion here is that Japan will not yield to any such pressure. The Japanese minister has supplied the state department an abstract of the last Japanese note. Count Cassini the Russian ambassador, on his part has acquainted the state department verbally, as is his custom, with th? nature of the Russian note, so that the department is fully Informed, but as both these communications have been made in confidence, the officials do not feel they should make them public in whole or in part. It is stated, however, that there has been no substantial change iu the Japanese proposi lion nor the Russian counter proposal
