FRENCHMEN THINK THE FAR EAST WILL SOON BE ABLAZE WITH WAR FIRES M. I'eaulieu. However, of Opinion that Neither Japan Nor Russia Will Conquer. BOTH IX NEED OF FUNDS

Lack of Money May Cause Them to Think Twice Before Opening Hostilities. PARTS. Feb. 6 Public attention is riveted on the ominous war cloud ranging over the far East, and for the time being Dreyfus and the Humberts and the expulsion of the religious orders are temporarily forgotten. The newspapers reflect the public feeling, that war is very near at hand, only the most conservative maintaining that a pacific solution is possible. It is noticeable that those having government relations take a discouraging view. Official opinion has clearly turned toward the pessimistic side, although not yet ready to concede that the last chance has gone. The officials are, however, convinced that Russia will not yield to Japan's demands relative to Manchuria, so that if war depends on that issue, it will be for Japan to make a final decision. In the matter of actual news the Foreign Office was unable to-day to give additional information, as it has not yet been officially advised that the Russian reply has been sent. The last definite official dispatch from St. Petersburg said the reply was expected to be signed and sent Thursday. Since then there has been no official advice that the reply has actually gone. In the meantime the embassies and legations are the centers of unusual activity in connection with the far East. Ambassador Porter sees foreign Minister Delcasse frequently, and also keeps In touch with the Russian and Japanese representatives. Other members of the United States embassy mingle in diplomatic circles and exchange information with all their colleagues. Definite results are promptly communicated to Washington. During one of these meetings M. Leroy Heaulieu. the eminent author and authority on Russia and the far East, was encountered. Being asked what he thought of Russia's controversy with Japan, he made the following significant repiy: "In the event of war I am convinced that neither party will be able to conquer the other. That Is, Russia will not be able to penetrate Into Japan and administer a conclusive and lasting overthrow, and Japan will equally be unable to penetrate into Russia and give lasting effect to any temporary triumphs." M. Beaulieu seemed to base his conviction on the fact that after the first great battles the contestants would find the geographical obstacles so great as to make decisive hostilities Impossible. DELCA8SE E VIEWS. M. Delcasse. in personal conversation with members of the diplomatic corps, docs not conceal the gravity of the situation, but he holds that even if a diplomatic rupture occurs this does not mean an immediate outbreak of hostilities. One of the leading diplomats asked M. Delcasse whether he considered war a matter of a few days. "Ou the contrary," the minister replied. "I do not believe It likely to occur for a month or two, even should fie negotiations completely fail." This accords with the view of other leading officials and diplomatists who hold that the failure of the negotiations would be followed by a period of strategic preparation, of raising large war funds and of maneuvering for position. The raising of war funds is considered here as being one of the most vital questions should the negotiations fall. Therefore a leading American official sought to learn whether Russia would be able to issue a loan and raise more money here. He consulted with one of the most eminent financiers of France, connected with the Bank of France, and this brought out some surprising statements concerning the enormous indebtedness Russia has already Incurred here. According to this financier, Russia's four loans total the colossal sum of $1.4u0,000.000. most of which came from France. Russia has now practically used up these loans on building the Transstberian Railroad, the new fleet and internal improvements in the water w iys. The Transsibei ian line alone has proved a terrible drain, the deficit last year reaching $3,ou0.Gö0. Therefore, in the event of a conflict. Russia must have more sinews of war and It is the conclusion of KM financier from the foregoing fact that she is not likely to place a further loan in I'n is. which heretofore has been her chief financial reliance. EACH SIDE MAY HALT. On the other hand, the diplomatist compared this wdth the announcement to-day from Tokio that Japan had succeeded in securing voluntary subscriptions of $1,000,000.000 toward her war fund. "That would not run a war long." said the diplomatist. ' With Russia unable to get more money here and Japan unable to get it at home, it is believed that if a breakdown in the negotiations occurs each side will take a long breath before fighting." One of the officers of a trust companv of New York city, who was recently here, reached the same conclusion that Russia would be unable to mako a loan after he had personally discussed the subject with a number of leading authorities on finance." A novel view is taken iu a certain importaut diplomatic quarter that the most effective means of preserving peace is for both Russia and Japan to claim a great diplomatic victory, thus satisfying home sentiment and subduing the war spirit. This view finds rather serious acceptance at the Foreign Office, where the officials sav that If the negotiations happily result In peace, both sides will clulm a gTtat diplomatic triumph as a means of satisfying local sentiment. This :s given by the officials as one of the main reasons why accounts vary concerning the terms of the various notes, as It H said that each stde has adopted a construction calculated to satisfy its own people. One of the most prominent of the Russian officials hee said definite knowledge : cernlng the contents of the Russian reply would be communicated to the world certainly by Monday. This official intim. n. d that ut least some of the essential features had already been made known to the French fJOVCraOMOt. He recognized that war would not be popular iu Russia, because . f the distance from the scene of the conflict and the unfamlliatity of the Russian people regarding the situation. At the am time the official said: "War can be avoided if Japan is willing, for substantial con have been made, upon which the negotiations can continue. Russia Is prepared for eventualities and a rupture of the negotiations, uot as ostentatiously as Japan, but none the less effectively." When the Japanese legation was visited to-day a number of contrac tors were in the ante-room waiting for an opportunity to offer war material. Among yesterday's callers at the Japanese legation was the British ambassador. 8ir Edmund J. Monsou. who remained for a long time in coufereuce with the minister.

m KOGORO TAKAHIRA. Japanese Minister at Washington. IS DECIDEDLY PESSIMISTIC He Thinks Japan and Russia May Sever Diplomatic Relations Anv Moment. SITUATION VERY GRAVE WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, had a conference lasting about half an hour with acting Secretary of State Loomis this afternoon. He left the department greatly depressed over the situation and will not be surprised to hear of a severance of diplomatic relations between Russia and Japan at any moment. In an interview, the minister described the situation as being very grave. He was not surprised to hear that Mr. Kurino, the Japanese minister, was preparing to depart from the Russian capital. In view of the activity of the Russian military forces, the Japanese believed that Russia is bent on war. Special emphasis Is placed by Japanese officials upon the forwarding of the reply to Admiral Alexieff, head of the war party, for final revision. Another ftrong indication of war, in the opinion of the Japanese, is the warning given by the Russian officials at Vladivostok to the Japanese commercial agent, that a state of siege might be expected at any time. It can be said that Mr. Takahlra's visit to the State Department to-day was for the purpose of conveying an Important communication that will prepare this government for the course of action Japan is generally expected to take. He gave the acting secretary a brief resume of the negotiations, pointing out the patience with which Japan had waited for more than a reasonable time for the Russian reply. The minister said Manchuria had always beer retard d by Japan as a vital part of the ii. fotiatlons. This fact leads the Washington officers to believe that Russia's refusal to make a treaty on this point will be followed by war. At the' Japanese legation it Is said an important announcement may be made to the American people within a short time. "In the present crisis." an officer added, "discTf't silence is absolutely necessary." Baron Hayashi's Interview, printed this morning, is believed at the Japanese legation to be authentic. STUDENTS WILL DO ACTUAL MINE WORK Four Technical Schools to Lease a Mine for a Summer Course in Practical Mining. NEW YORK. Feb. 6. Mining engineering students of the senior classes of several Eastern universities are to undertake actual mining in Colorado next summer under the joint direction of the school of mines of Columbia University, the mining department of the Massachusetts institute of technology and the Lawrence and the Sheffield oli ntitic schools of Harvard and Yale Universities. The students will go into camp at a mine to be leased for the purpose. A small force of skilled miners will be employed a.3 instructors and the students will encage in sinking shufts. driving levels, timbering and similar pructical work. I'rof. Henry S. Monroe, of Columbia University, has been appointed director of the school for the first year and he will have under him a corps of competent instructors, drawn from the several institutions. George Crocker has offered to pay the cost of the school this summer and has turned over I12.0UU to the presidents of the four institutions nair.eu to act as trustees of the fund. Object to Intervention Clause. PANAMA. Feb. 6 The constitutional convention has not yet concluded its consideration of the constitution of the republic, and it is probable that Article 131, which authorizes the United States to interfere should public order ie disturbed in Panama, will not be approved wheu It Is discussed ÜM third time. The article meets with opposition, principally from the Liberals. MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR STOMACH Yon Are C'crtnlii to Lose If You Attempt the I se of Force and iolence. You cannot force your stomach to do work that It is unable and unwilling to do. It has been tried time and time again with always the same result. The stomach Is a good and faithful servant; but when pushed beyond the limit it rebels. Some stomachs will stand much more abuse than others, but every stomach has its limit; and when that limit Is reached, It is a very dangerous and unwise proceeding to attempt to force it into doing further work. The sensible and reasonable course is to employ a substitute to carry on the work of digestion and give the stomach an opportunity to recuperate and regain its lost strength. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the only perfect substitute to take up and carry on the work of tired, worn-out stomachs. They are natural and easy in their work and cause no disturbance in the digestive organs. They contain all of the essential elements that make up the gastric Juice and other digestive lluids and will digest any food that a strong, healthy stomach will, and do it in the same time and in the same way. They work independently of surrounding conditions, and the fact that the stomal h is weak or diseased does not Influence them at all In their useful ahd effective work. They will digest food just as well in a glass jar or bottle as they will in a stomach. You can see that for yourself by putting one of them Into a jar with a square meal and some water to enable it to work. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by thus relieving the stomach of its work enables that organ to rest and recuperate and regain Its health and strength. The process is perfectly natural and plain. Nature will heal the stomach Just as she heals a wound or a broken limb, if she Is not interfered with and Is permitted to do her work in her own way. All interference is prevented by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by druggists everywhere at y cents a l.x. and if you are afflicted with dyspepsia, one box will make you feel fifty times letter. You will forget you have a stomach and rejoice In the forget fulness. No druggist will be so shortsighted as to try to get along without Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, for they are so popular and are SO well known for the good they have done and the happiness they have caused that any druggist caught without them would lose the confidence of his customers and be regarded as below the standard.

MINISTER

TAKAHIRA

On the Brink of War; Japan Seem

(CONCLUDE D FROM FIRST PAGE.) to be repeated. The Russians are confident, however, that if the worst comes their hardy soldiery can withstand the bitter cold better than their adversaries. An official of the Foreign Office said: "The world understands our proposition pretty well. There is no reason why the situation should be considered changed, either for the better or worse. So far as the actual state of the negotiations Is concerned matters should be improved by the Russian answer, which was framed in the most conciliatory spirit. Nevertheless, there is serious doubt as to the course the Japanese government will pursue. Russia has done her utmost but the other side must yield if a common ground is to be found. The Japanese people and press have been kept in a continual state of excitement by false reports. Invented, we believe. to create distrust of our purposes and pacific Intentions. How far the Japanese authorities can withstand the popular tide is a question." Japanese Minister Kurino and Sir Charles Scott, the British ambassador to Russia, have been In close conference, evidently determined upon action to be taken In case of a rupture of the negotiations, which, it is believed, will be Immediately followed by the breaking off of diplomatic relations. In this event M. Kurino will ask for his passports and will leave St. Petersburg at once. The minister has already anticipated such a contingency and is making arrangements to vacate the legation building. Under the terms of the lease this may be given up. It is even reported to-day. on apparently good authority, that M. Kurino has ordered a special car to be in readiness at the Warsaw station to take him to Germany. The current affairs of the Japanese legation will be turned over to the British embassy, if the worst happens. The absence of M. Kurino from the theatricals given at the winter palace last night, which were attended by all the other ministers and by the ambassadors, was generally remarked. It was the first court function he had missed this season. The Bourse, whose weakness has been more pronounced since the reply of Russia was dispatched to Viceroy Alexieff. Thursday, as announced by the Associated Press, is demoralized to-day, although imperial fours were unchanged. A dispatch received here to-day from Vladivostock says the hasty flight of the Japanese residents there is attributed to secret orders from the Japanese government. Neither persuasion nor promises of protection by the authorities had any effect. The Japanese commercial agent aided In the exodus. During the course of the flight yesterday the storekeepers sacrificed stocks valued at several hundred roubles for five to ten kopecs on the rouble. The neighboring towns are without hair dressers, laundresses and maid servants, and some factories are closed. It is added that there is general irritation at Vladivostock, owing to entire lack of news, even in official quarters. A dispatch from Vladivostock says the Japanese commercial agent there, acting under orders from Tokio, has lsused a circular informing the Japanese residents of the country that those who wish to leave may proceed to Japan on board the British steamer A f rid I. WIDESPREAD EUROPEAN CONFLAGRATION POSSIBLE LONDON, Feb. 6. Prospect of a great war breaking out in the far East next week, which is acknowledged even in hitherto most pacific quarters, has been brought precisely nearer by the developments of a day or two. That a Russo-Japanese conflict will be followed by a Balkan outbreak, which in time is liable to develop into a widespread European conflagration, is also consideted as probable, and increases the depression pervading all political and commercial circles. The news from St. Petersburg of the preparations of M. Kurino, the Japanese minister, lor departure Is not yet known in Ixmdon in official circles, the press and the public have already practically decided nothing can avert war and probably the termination of the long delay and suspense when the first gun Is fired will occasion a sense of relief and possibly business improvement. Already Tokio dispatches announce that relief is felt there at the fact that all doubts regarding the outcome of the negotiations have practically been set at rest. The British postoffl.ee emphasizes the critical state of the situation by announcing that code telegrams cannot be accepted for any place in Japan, thus conllrmlug the New York announcements to the same effect. With reference to the reiterated statement from Russian sources that Russia could not agree to a Japanese fortification of southern Korea, as it would endanger the neutrality of the Straits of Korea, the Japanese legation said to-day that Japan had already recognized the reasonableness of this contention on the part of Russia and had readily agreed that the passnges of the Straits of Korea should be perfectly free. Japan, however, refused to agree to the neutral zone suggestion because she beli rod it would become virtually a Russian sphere of influence in view of her large concessions on the Yalu river. Moreover, if Japan had granted this demand It would have been In opposition to Japan's contention that the independence and itegrity of Korea must be recogized. BARON HAY ASH I SAYS THERE IS NO CHANGE PARIS, Feb. 6. Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister to Great Britain, in talking to a London correspondent of the Figaro, refused to confirm or deny the correctness of the interview with him published in the Matin saying that he authorized the official publication of only the following: "Russia's reply has not been received, and, so far as I know, the situation is unchanged; but if Russia will not accept the clauses which Japan regards as essential, war is inevitable." The Figaro correspondent concludes that the remainder of the Matin's interview represents Baron Hayashi's personal views, adding that a short conversation with the minister suffices to show that he regards the situation as extremely critical. Baron Hayashi. during the interview, expressed the opinion that the optimism of the French press was due to the fact that the far Eastern question was less studied In Paris than in London, and he dwelt on the essential point of Japan's note, demanding the mutual recogniton by Japan and Russia of the territorial integrity and independence of China and Korea, which amounts to a formal recognition of Chinese sovereignty over Manchuria. According to the London correspondent of the Matin, persons best qualified to speak authoritatively regarding Japanese matters declare that Japan s final decision has already been taken, and that Russia's answer, whatever may be its tenor, will not make any difference. War, these persons say. is inevitable, for Japan henceforth will do as she chooses without regarding what Russia may think of her actions. The Fi-raro this morning says it has reason to believe that Foreign Minister Lamsdorff's dispatch contained only the essential points of the Russian note to Japan, the full text of which will follow the dispatch iu a few days. It further expresses the belief that the note will not constitute the Russian government's last word, but will leave room for further negotiations. RUSSIA HAS MADE FRESH PROPOSALS LONDON. Feb. 6. A dispatch to Renter's Telegram Company from St. Petersburg says: "An authoritative statement from a Russian source regarding the contents of the Russian reply is as follows: If the Japanese government Is animated by the same pacific sentiments as the Russian government, there Is reason to hope that it wlil give Russia's fresh proposal:- .each favorable reception as to permit mutual accord being finally reached. Paron de Rosen has been furnished wilh all the necessary instruc tions for a ircsh phase oi the negotiations. CONSERVATIVE GERMAN VIEW OF SITUATION BERLIN. Feb. 7 The North German Gazette takes great pains to prove that the sloping, nf n initiations between Russia and Japan would not n cessarlly moan war. It consi lers it possible that Japan will begin certain undertakings in Korea for which preparations were long ago made, but thinks it unlikely that Russia will oppose t in s ur.d-,rt:-.!;intjs unh ss Japan exlend her uUio T the Valu vulky. it is

Russia and to Be Ready to Clash

unnecessary, says the Gazette, to suppose that Japan will require the transport of a large number of troops into Korea, since the numerous Japanese settlers, merchants and workmen in Korea would be transformable immediately into excellent soldiers. The paper admits that it is impossible to consider war between the two countries absolutely precluded, but says that in anv event war is unllkelv to occur in the immediate future. Finally the Gaxette reiterates the German view that there are no indications that either Russia or Japan desires war. RUSSIAN SOLDIERS IN A FIGHT AT SEOUL SEOUL, Feb. 6. Russian soldiers have been the cause of a disorderly incident In Seoul. One of the Russians seized a woman and an angry crowd gathered. A body of gendarmes soon arrived at the scene of trouble and an encounter with the Russians followed. The gendarmes fought well, overpowering the Russians, one of whom was wounded. The Koreans declare that the Russians will destroy the country. An Insurrection has broken out sixty miles north of Seoul and the prefect's house has been destroyed by the people. RUSSIA SAID TO HAVE SUBMARINE VESSELS NEW YORK, Feb. 6. A Russian officer who has lately returned from the, far East is quoted by the Moscow correspondent of the Times to the effect that the Russian Pacific squadron possesses at least two submarines. They were built on the Black sea, were carried East in sections and fitted together at Port Arthur, where they now are. The officer also states that the mouth of the Amur river is heavily mined and that the river is equipped with light craft, each patrolling about sixty-six miles and carrying light artillery. , CABLE MESSAGES TO JAPAN WILL BE CENSORED NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The central office of the Western Union cable service announced to-day that private messages, in secret language, cannot be accepted for any place in Japan. Later the Western Union was informed that the Japanese government had modified its restrictions so that the addressee of a code dispatch may receive such cablegram, provided he files a copy of his code with the authorities. Messages will be accepted, however, only at sender's risk. The Commercial Cable Company received similar notice. Japanese Warned to Leave. HARBIN, Feb. 6. The secretary of the Japanese consul at Vladivostock has arrived here and has warned the Japanese residents to leave. They are all hurrying away, selling and even giving away their belongings. The prices of food and fodder are rising. Hamilton to Be with Russians. LONDON, Feb. 6. Lieut. Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton, quartermaster general to the British forces, will, it is announced in the event of war betwet n Japan and Russia, be appointed British military attache with the Rusian forces. Dutch Cruiser Goings F,nst. THE HAGUE, Feb. 6. The Netherlands government has ordered the cruiser Friesland to remain In the far East. HOLD-UP MEN BEAT VICTIM BEFORE RIFLING POCKETS Printer Is Waylaid by Footpads, Who Secure but Small Haul for Attack. With blond streaming from a gash in his head as the result of a blow from a "billy" struck by a highwayman, Henry Hederick, a printer employed on a morning newspaper, walked into police station early this morning and reported the hold-up to Sergeant Corrigan. Dr. Jeffries sewed up the wound in his head. Hederick lives at 911 High street and was assaulted and robbed on South Meridian street. He said he noticed three men step from the shadow of a building, but did not see them, as he was hit in the head before he could turn. His pockets were gone through and all the money he had, about l, was taken from him. SNOW DRIVEN BY THE GALE AT SUPERIOR Railroads Blocked by Drifts and Street Cars Blocked at Corners Bitter Cold. SUPERIOR, Wis., Feb. 6. Superior has been experiencing the fiercest storm of the season, to-day, and the worst for years. The wind has been blowing steadily at a gale of forty-two miles an hour, and has been acompanied by a tine snow, which drifted badly. The thermometer is around the zero mark and business has been suspended in many instances. Trains are arriving late and street car traffic is interfered with. Coal docks have been compelled to shut down In some case? and whole trains loaded with coal have been held up. Double-headers were used on passenger trains which went out to-night. Street cars have been bunched for several hours at a time, three or four at a corner. Cold weather is promised for tomorrow. Coldeftt Weather in Thirty Years. ST. JOHN, N. F., Feb. 6. The severest cold recorded in Newfoundland for thirty years was that of last night when the thermometer registered 37 degrees below zero at many points in the interior. A number of harbors are frozen, the railroad is blocked and traffic is suspended. A severe snowstorm accompanied the cold weather. Renewed high tides have caused severe damage to fishing property along the seaboard. RELAUNCHING OF THE BOOM FOR PARKER Democratic Banqueters Cheer the Justice as "Xext President" of the United States." NEW YORK. Feb. 6.

Arthur S. Spencer, who has been posing in Pittsburg for a week as an agent of the Chinese Six Companies, was placed In jail to-night on a charge of impersonating a United States officer with intent to defraud. Spencer Is alleged to have served in several different penal Institutions in this country, and Is said to be one of the notorious swindlers who make the Chinese their victims. His methods in Pittsburg are said to have been the selling of worthless registration certificates and also getting money by other means. Spencer called on Immigrant Inspector Robert T. Layton on Tuesday as a representative of the Six Companies and ofhctal court interpreter. He presented I plan by which he said he would hunt out Chinese who had settled in IMttsburg without proper authority.

MISS COLEMAN DENIES HOSFORD'S STATEMEHT Inspector Claims to Have a Con fession Signed by the Craw- . fordsville Womaru VICTIM STILL' IN BED Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CR A WFORD8 V I LLE, Ind.. Feb. . Thr are few new developments in the case involving the knocking down of Miss Susan Coleman on Friday by Postoffice Inspector HoFford. of Danville. 111. Miss Coleman Is confined to her bed as the result of injuries received at the hands of the inspector, but to-day she made a statement, covering all the details recounted heretofore in the Journal, and adding a few to the list. The addenda are contained in her denial of a statement by Inspector Hosford that he has a written confession, signed by her. to the effect that she abstracted a ten-doar bill from the Maloney letter and substituted a one-dollar bill therefor. In her denial Miss Coleman says the inspector had in his hands u piece of paper on which he seemed to be Jotting down her answers to his questions, and that after she had answered several he asked her to sign the paper. She told him she could not do so, she says, because she had a felon on her right hand. He aaked her if it would be all right for him to Bln her name, she says, and that she told him yes. She alleges that she then asked to see the paper and that he refused and it was then he accused her of stealing the $10 from the. letter, which accusation led to the altercation culminating in the ussault on herself, in which the inspector knocked her unconscious. Mrs. Ernest Newkirt. who saw Hosford Ftrrite Miss Coleman, to-day informed the authorities that after he was released last night the inspector called on her and tried to induce her not to testify against him when the trial is called. A PLEASANT SURPRISE In Store for Those Who Donht. When you read that a sufferer of many pi irs' standing has been completely restored to health by using Smith s Cure-all, you are Inclined to doubt the statement and, in fact, have no belief in it whatever. The reason for this is that so much is claimed for the Cure-all It is impossible for any one to believe It; if the advertiser confined his claims to the curing of one disease, as do the proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure, readers would have much more faith in published testimonials. Those familiar with this great remedy know that testimonials as to its merit may be relied upon implicitly, also that the cures brought about by Its use are little short of marvelous. The genuineness of the testimonial here given is vouched for and is but one of thousands received: "I wish to write you and tell you what your Pyramid IMle Cure has done for me. I have been troubled with piles for the pust live years and used every remedy that was recommended to me. While some would give me relief for a while they never have cured. I was so bad this summer I could not get up or down without pain; could not attend to my household duties. Finally I .t 50-cent box of yur Pyramid Pile Cure at the druggist's and it is now two months since I used the lat of the tx. and t..thud no trouble since. I can say it Is really and truly K.-d remedy. "I am so thankful I tried it. as I know It has cured me. and if at any time I should have any such trouble again I would use It at once. Since I am cured I have reo ommended It to my friend, whom 1 know to be afflicted as I was. and I know they will use it. too I am so thankful I ever learned of your cure." Mrs. F.
