rtflbt limtni BtlNU i I HhNÜ I HhNtU European Countries Not Disposed to Mix Up in Russo-Japanese War. BETTER FEELING SHOWX LONDON, March 5 The Foreign Office regards the week just ended a one in which much has been done to guarantee th-- continued peace of Europe. The Associated Press is authorized to say. however, that the rumors that France, Great Britain or any other power is contemplating intervention or the taking of any steps with the idea of ending th war are basel 'ss. The frequent visits of M. Cambon. Fiench ambassador, to Foreign Minister Landsdowne this week have had no connection with the present war. The treaty now on the verge of conclusion to settle long-standing differences between Great Britain and France on colonial question give M. Cambon and Lord Lansdowne plenty to do without bothering about the far East. In Downing street it is thought that Japan would almost regard any attempt at intervention as an unfriendly act. Conit rning the attitude of Russia toward Great Britain, it was said at the Foreign office to-night that direct and indirect information had proved that Russia Is sincere in its desire to maintain friendly relations with Great Britain. It is frankly recognised at the Foreign Office, however, that certain classes of Russian opinion are much embittered against Great Britain. more so even than the Russian press indicates, and that it will be some little time before the relations of the Russian and British publics resume their normal condition. The only diplomatic danger believed by the Foreign (Mho to be in sight is a possible continental protest against the JapaneseKorean treaty. Great Britain has been unofficially approached by one of the great powers with the view of sustaining Russia's jtrotest in this connection on a point of international law. Lord Lansdowne, however, will take no action, and it is not thought likely that other nations will deem it wise to complicate the situation by seriously urging the Russian contention that Japan's new treaty with Korea abrogates the rights of other powers. P. iron Hashi. Japanese minister to Great Britain, who keeps in close touch with diplomatic developments, declares that no European complication is likely to occur, and that the course of the war is not in the hast likely to be affected by any project of diplomacy now or in the near future. JAPANESE ARE GIVING LIBERALLY JO WAR FUND Large Contributions to Charities ltik-s Big Subscriptions to National Bonds. NEW DIET POPULAR BODY TOKIO. March 5. Subscriptions to the war bonds, gifts to the new fund and contributions to war charities have been exceedingly large. The subscription list for the issue of the first lOO.OOO.WO yen of war bonds, which closes on March 10, will be oversubscribed. The soldiers relief society which is being promoted by Counts Matsugata find Inouye. report subscriptions approaching one million yen. Donations totalling a quarter of a million yen already have been paid to the war fund. Hundreds of applications have been made for permission to contribute to the coming army and navy relief funds, the amounts offered making a total of 250,000 yen. The ladies' patriotic society, largely composed of peeresses and the wives of nobles, is raising a fund In aid of the Red Cross. The latter society already jossesses a large fund and an extended organization in Japan. The session of the Diet opening March 18 will last ohly ten days. During the session the war credits will be submitted. Immediately following the adjustment the Mikado Will leave Tokio for Kioto. The tinal returns of the parlimentary elections show that over one hundred new members were elected. The large increase of the independent membership Is regardd as a favorable sign. Of late years the Diet has been composed largely of politicians and popular interests and confidence in it decreased. The Diet, in consequence, has ceased to be the great representative body the constitution proposed. Political issues have caused bickering and frequent dissolutions, making the government party an oligarchy instead of a constitutional administration. The war has revived interest in national affairs and the new Diet Is regarded as an improvement on its immediate predecessor. An Australian steamer which has arrived at Hakodate from Vladivostok, reports that the Russian squadron left Vladivostok on Feb. 29. It is presumed to be cruising in northern waters, with the hope of capturing Japanese merchantmen. Another report says that two Russian warships have been seen off Csude bay. Advices from Hakodate do not mention any attacks on northern ports. The steamer Ekaterlnoslav. of the Russian volunteer fleet, which has been fitted up as an auxiliary cruiser, the steamer Manchuria, belonging to the Chinese Eastern Railway Company, the schooner Sliepner and the steam launch I'lide have been declared prizes of war by the naval court at Hasebo. The decision of the court is subject to an appeal within thirty days. The Emperor of Korea has sent the Mikado a cordial reply to his personal message assuring the former that war with Russia was declared solely with the view of securing permanent peace, and expressing the sincere wish that the protocol recently concluded between Japan and Korea will increase the Intimacy of those two countries. The Korean ruler appears determined to maintain friendly relations with Japan. The British minister at Seoul is pressing the Korean government to define the extent of the district included in the open port of WIJu. on the Yalu river, to commerce of the world.

RUSSIAN SHIPS MISLED I! USE OP FALSE LIGHTS

Japanese Employed the Enemy's Signals to Creep Up on Unsuspecting Prey. STORY TOLD BY A RUSSIAN' ST. PETERSBURG. March 5 A letter from an officer of the Russian cruiser Pallada has been received here describing the first attack by the Japanese upon Port Ar thur. The writer denies the story that the officers of the Russian fleet were ashore and confirms the statement that the Japanese made use of false lights. He asserts that at 11 o'clock at nipht a practice drill to repel a torpedo attack was executed, and that toward midnight four Russian torpedo boats, which simulated the enemy, headed back toward Dalny, from which place they had come. The crews of the fleet had retired, only the watch remaining on deck. Th" ships were in the outer harbor and the captain on the Pallada. which vessel occupied the advance position, had descended from the bridge for a last look around before going below, when he perceived lights advancing. The ship's lights were white above red being those of the Russian warships when they enter the harbor. The captain of the Pallada supposed the approaching vessels were the Russian torpedo boats returning from Dalny aud his suspicions were only aroused when, upon drawing nearer they covered and uncovered their lights at Irregular intervals. The signal tower signaled that the lights were not understood. At this moment the Pallada's captain, through the thick flight, made out the outlines of the torpedo boat destroyers smokestacks in pairs amidships. As the stacks of the Russian destroyers are In line fore and aft, the crews of the Russian ships were instantly called to quarters. In less than three minutes the Pallada's men were at their posts, orders were given that the guns be charged with grape aud a fierce fi"e was opened on the on-coming Japanese. The battleships Czarevitch and Retvizan, which were in the first line, a short distance astern of the Pallada, also opened fire almost immediately. A terrific explosion occurred under the hull of the Pallada. raising a torrent of water which submerged the cruiser's deck, but did not stop her tiring or maneuvering, which now, however, were complicated by the measures taken to close a breach amidships, below the water-line, made by the explosion of the torpedo. Soon afterwards two other torpedoes exploded almost simultaneously, one under the bow of the Retvizan and the other under the stern of the Czarevitch. This double expiosion ended the attack, the Japanese vessels retiring at full speed. JAPAN ADDRESSES NOTE EXPLAINING ATTITUDE Russia's Protest to the Powers Looked on with Amusement by Japanese. DEFEND THEIR COURSE TOKIO. March 5. Japan addressed a note to the powers to-day in response to the recent communication from Russia. The note has not been published here and its contents are unknown. Russia's various communications to the powers attacking Japan for Its conduct of diplomatic negotiations before the rupture, in the attack upon Russia without a dec laration of war, and Its alleged violation of the neutrality of Korea, have been received in Japan largely in the spirit of amusement. The Japanese resent what is alleged to be a deliberate attempt to place them in false position regarding certain incidents, but in the main do not take the correspondence seriously. Responding to the charges of violation the neutrality of Korea, they point to the action of Russia in Manchuria, where thousands of troops were assembled long before a diplomatic rupture occurred. They say that they are fully prepared to accept the judgment of the powers on a comparison of their course in Korea, where they landed troops only after a state of war existed, and upon the written permislon of the Emperor of Korea. They deny that Chemulpo was a neutral port after the Japanese landed on Feb. H, but whether it was neutrtl or belligerent Russia began hostilities there. When the Russian gunboat Korletz steamed out of the harbor of Chemulpo on the afternoon of Feb. 8 she oiened fire on the Japanese wpiadron. making the opening shot of the war. The Japanese guns did not respond, but the Japanese torpedo boat destroyers answered the fire and discharged two torpedoes before the Korietz retired. The Japanese are confident of the justice and strength of their original position on the Integrity of China and the fairness of their proposals during the negotiations. They feel fully justified in commencing hostilities after breaking off diplomatic relations and serving notice of their intention to take independent action. They are sure that their recent assurances that they had no intention of taking possession of Chinese territory would guarantee the Integrity and independence of Korea would be -accepted by the powers.

It is not expected that Japan s intention to build the Seoul and Wiju railroad will cause any sericus clash with the owners of the early French concessions. The original concession was granted to a French company in 1896. Later the concession was modified so that the road was to be built by French engineers and with French material. A considerable portion of the line has already been laid under French auspices and it is said that Foreign Minister Delcasse has sought to protect French Interests along the railroad the same as he protected the rights of the Panama company during the Panama uprising. Rut while giving all due protection to French Interests, the officers say this concession is not one which is likely to give rise to serious complications. It is fully recognized that the private interests and concessions may suffer through the exigencies of the war. but in cnse French rights are impaired it is expected that Japan or Korea will give adequate indemnification. RUSSIANS MERRY AT EXPENSE OF JAPANESE ST. PETKRSRI'RO. March 5. The disappearance of the Japanese fleet from Port Arthur after its failures is creating merriment here, one paper remarking that it has "donned the invisible cap. straddled the carpet and may land next in the ice in front of St. Petersburg." A report that th- Egyptian government has decided to close the Suez canal to the belligerents, although discussed seriously in the newspapers here, is laughed at in official circles, where it is pointed out that the international regulations are of castlron character and cannot be changed by Egypt. The Jewish farming colony in Kherson province has voted to donate $5.000 for war purposes. A naval expert, writing to the Xovosti. predicts that Korea will prove a mousetrap to the Japanese, and adding that not onehundredth part of the yellow Napoleons will get out alive. The weather at Port Arthur during the last few days has jeen much warmer, indicating the approach Of spring. Many fast loconr.otives are being sent from European Russia to Siberia. PORT ARTHUR SAID TO HAVE BEEX ATTACKED NEW YORK. March 5 -Therr has been a three days' bombardment by the Japanese of Port Arthur, according to a Herald dispatch from X'.en-Tsin, and timed at halfpast I this (Saturday morning.

- - - - - NVESTIGATION URGED II MINORITY REPORT Demand Made for a Rigid Inquiry Into Postorfice Department Affairs. OrPOSED TO SUBSIDIES WASHINGTON. March 5.-The report on the postoflice appropriation bill, containing a summary of the contents of the bill made public at the time of its completion, was tiled in the House to-day. The report Is accompanied by a statement of the views of the minority signed by Representatives Moon. Griggs, Cowherd, Finley and Kluttz. Mr. Moon also submitted views of his own, condemning railway mail subsidies and the provision in the bill for the lease for fifiy years of postofflce facilities of the New York Central Railway in New York city. In the minority report proper an investigation of the Postofflce Department Is urged. The conclusions of the Bristow investigation are made a part of the report which is declared to be a disclosure "of startling corruption in the division Investigated and a method of doing business naturally conducing to fraud." The report states that this investigation was confined largely to one division and it is impossible to say whether or not the same corrupt methods obtain in other divisions. The business intercourse between the divisions make such a condition possible, it saj-s, and some system of checks is recommended so that fraud could not easily be accomplished. The minority report concludes on this subject: "In view of the interesting report mentioned and of the hearings and of the detailed proof furnished by the department to the committee on improper conduct of postofflce officials and of the charges against other divisions of the department and the imperfect methods of obtaining facts as to the conduct of affairs in that office, it would seem to be the part of wisdom that the House should proceed to a full and complete investigation of the Postofflce Department in all of Its branches for the betterment of the service, the prevention of frauds and the general protection of the public interest. Pad osteins and public plunder too often afflict the adminsitratlon of public affairs. To their eradication no one should objec t. So far as frauds committed and disclosed are concerned their investigation for the most part is now a matter for the courts of Justice to consider. We are concern ti alone in devising means to prevent the repetition of similar frauds an I a.-. - rtainlng the extent of the weakness of our postal system and providing an adequate remedy against it. "Impressed with the justice of these general views at, applieabh- to existing eruditions in the Postofflce Department they are submitted for your consideration with a recommendation that there be a full and complete investigation of the affairs of the Postofflce Department under the committee of Cougr ss." The report complains that through the method of submitting estimates for appropriations the committeemen w.-re nothing more than eltrks for the department in supplying their demands. There was a growing rivalry between the different branches of the department to outstrip the other in matter of importance, and this, too, led to indefensible demands for more Demands for increase of salaries had become a habit with the department which the minority condemned.
