WILDEST RUMORS

of War.

Tlie Japanese 3?ress Is Unanimously In Favor ot Bringms Kussia to An Instant "Show Down."
Dilatory Tactics of the Czar's Government Giving It a Debiclt ed Advantage.
Tokio, Jan. 9. The wildest rumors are current. The press unanimously demands that the government take decisive action, thereby preventing Russia from gaining advantages by further dilatory tactics. The people repose confidence in the government's ability to rise to the opportunity.
Tokio, Jan. 9. The Japanese government has practically determined to continue negotiations. It is dissatisfied with Russia's terms, but does not
feel warranted in issuing an ultimatum or breaking off negotiations, and will
make another effort to secure their
modification before resorting to force. It is anticipated that the discussion
will consume a few weeks, during
which interim a breach of the peace is improbable.

Not Worthy of Credence. London, Jan. 9.- The Kobe correspondent of the Daily Express sends a scare rumor to the effect that a collission between the Russian and the Japanese fleets has taken place near the Islnads of Taushima in the strait of Korea. This rumor is not mentioned in any other source, and in view of the fact that the Japanese government is exercising a censorship over all news concerning naval matters, it may safely be disregarded.

London, Jan. 9. M. Daeschner, first secretary of the French embassy in
London, in an interview said that the present arrangements between Francs and Great Britain were such that il
would be impossible to disturb them. The secretary said that even if Korea and China joined Japan they would not be considered powers within the meaning of the Frar oo-Russlan treaty and
that therefore it was not likely that France would be called upon to interfere.
What Russia Proposes. Paris, Jan. 9. It is learned that the French government has been informed that Russia's answer to Japan m-es far-reaching concessions respecting Korea and that these concessions are equivalent to permitting the occupation of Korea by Japan on lines somewhat similar to the position of Great Britain in Egypt, but that Russia firmly rejects any right of Japan to mingle iu affairs in Manchuria.

Louis, formerly superintendent of the division of supplies in the postoSce department, but who was removed on Oct. 21, 1903, as a result of the postal inestigation, has entered suit for $30,000 damages against Joseph Eristow, former assistant postmaster general; Henry C. Payne, postmaster general and the Washington Post Newspaper company. The basis of the charge for which
damages are asked is an extract from the report of Gen. Bristow, dealing with the award of contracts in the division of which Louis was at the
nead that he contracted for ink, ink pads, etc., at alleged excessive prices, etc. The defendants are charged with having composed, written and published concerning the plaintiff the extract of the report referred to with the intent, it is alleged, to injure the plaintiff in his good name. By reason of the committing of the grievances complained of, - the plaintiff says he has been brought into public scandal, ridicule and disgrace. Suits of a lilxe character for similar amounts were brought against the postmaster general, .Mr. Bristow and the Evening Star; and against the postmaster general, Mr. Bristow and the Washington Time3.

War Talk Has Proven a Factor In Certain Lines. New York, Jan. 9. Bradstreet's weekly review of trade today says: The new year opens quietly, but with catisfactory features predominating. Cold, stormy weather has retarded business and transportation, but in some sections has stimulated sales of heavy goods, shoe3 and rubbers at retail. Wholesale business in seasonably quiet at leading eastern and central western markets, but it is worth noting that spring demand and shipments have begun at the southwest. Collections show a slight Improve--ment and money Is easing, supplies of that commodity being in better supply
than heretofore. Preparations for spring are going forward actively and with a good show of conservative confidence. War talk has been a stimulus to many markets, notably those for cereals and provisions, but securities and cotton have been depressed thereby. Iron and steel In the cruder forms have shown steadiness, and though quiet at the east, a?e in better demand in the more finished forms at the west. Western and southern plow manufacturers are buying more freely and interests catering to southern trade have begun to run overtime to fill orders based upon an expected enormous acreage ,in cotton the coming spring.
leged bribery took place. The effect of the decision is that a man is not an actual member of congress from
the time of his election until he shall have taken the oath at the bar of the
house to which he was elected, and
that he is not amendable to the law
as a member of congress.
Dietrich was released from custody
after the decision was announced.
Judge Vandevanter, after deliverin
his oninion, instructed the jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty, and
the district attorney entered a nolle in the other cases against Senator
Dietrich. Jacob Fisher, postmaster at Hastings, Keb., was also released, a nolle havins been entered in each of
the indictments against him. In sum
ming up the case at the beginning of
the trial, the district attorney said he would show that Dietrich had accepted a large sum of money from Fisher for securing the latter's appointment as postmaster.

Alleged postofHce frauds are still under discussion in the senate, the subject being opened in a set speech by Mr. Simmons (N. C.) who Insisted there should be an investigation by the senate into the charges. Mr. Piatt (Conn.) denied that the Republicans were trying to cover up any wrong doing In the postofSce and said they simply were contending that the postofSce committee should ascertain what wa3 to be investigated. The Republican contention was that there has been a thorough investigation by the postoffice department, and that a senate Investigation was now being pressed by the Democrats for partisan purposes. The Democrats insisted that they wanted the facts and charged that the Republicans were trying to smother them. Perry S. Heath was bitterly assailed and former Postmaster General Smith was criticised by Democratic senators.
