Ruaala'a response la eagerly awaited and
If It ahould (rove unsatisfactory to Japan
an Immediate declaration of war aeema un
avoidable. The Japaneaa feel that the en
tire responsibility for the outcome rests
with Russia.
Some doubt la expressed that Russia
properly appreciates the determination and
temper of tha Japaneaa people, and It see ma
Incredible that Baron da Rosen has failed
to correctly Inform the government at St.
Petersbuig of the situation. Japan Is busy
perfecting a financial program. The an
nounced plan to Issue bonds and Increase
taxation meets with popular approval, but
some objections have been made to tha pro

PARIS, Jan. 2$. United State Ambassa
dor Porter had another lengthy talk With
Foreign Minister Delcaase today, going
over the latest phases of tha Russo-Japanese
situation. M. Nelldoff, the Russian am
bassador, and Prince von Radolln, the am
bassador of Germany, called at about the
am time. The former believes the caar's
Influence will lead to a satisfactory adjust
ment, but other officials of tha embassy
o not share the ambassador's views and
are Inclined to believe that war will re
sult. Prince von Radolln, who waa atatloned
at St. Petersburg for a long time, and
Wh3 la familiar with court Influences, con
siders that the war element la likely to get
the upper, hand, . ...
Government opinion 'here remains un
changed, the offlclala holding that tha situa
tion la more warlike, but that it haa not
passed beyond tha chance of diplomatic
adjustment. It can ba asserted positively
that Franca shares the view of tha United
States, British and other governments,
that no Joint meditation la desirable, as it
probably would Irritate, the situation, but
that each power should use Its Influence
through Its own diplomatic channels to
ward tha maintenance of peace.

General Upton's military career, according
to Secretary Root, who directed this pub

and brilliancy. Although written a quar
ter of a century ago, this particular work
on military policy., was never before pub
lished by the government. Secretary Root
recovered it from th millions of docu

government and no effort will be made to
recall this action unless the Morales forces

order. It Is said that Minister Sanchex de

JUDGE W. C. IVES PASSES AWAY
Illness Which . Finally Terminates
Fatally Orlerlaatea In I-atter
Pnrt of October.
W. C. Ivea, one of the best known attor
neya at tho Omaha bar, died at 9 o'clock
last night at hla home, 132 North Thirty
ninth street. On October 29 he waa taken
ill with superlative appendicitis and waa
operated on five week later. At the tim
his life was despared of, but he rallied.
Saturday a change for the worse ensued
and his condition rapidly grew critical.
W. C. Ives was a native of New England,
being born In Connecticut, where hla father
was a minister In the Baptist church. He
entered Brown college, but left to enlist
In a union regiment during the civil war.
When peace was declared he resumed his
Studies, being graduated with honors. For
a time he was a professor in a school for
young women at Norwich, Conn., but later
took the law course at Yale.
Mr. Ives came to Chicago Just before the
great fire in 1871. He became a member of
a law firm, George' H. Smith being the
other partner, and almost Immediately at
tained a high rank at the bar, excelling as
a trial lawyer. After ten years of con
stant practice his health broke down be
cause of overwork and for a few years h
tried ranch life as a method of recupera
tion. His connection with the live stock
business covered various parts of western
Nebraska, Indian Territory, Texas and the
southwest generally.
While In Chicago Mr. Ives was married
to Miss Eva Ltcke, daughter of the late
Sidney E. Locke, the originator and builder
of the Omaha waterworks. During his so
journ on the plains Mr. Ives' wife resided
with her parents In Omaha, wfllch fact
caused him to come hers about the year
188S. At first he was engaged with W. J.
Connell In the real estate business, but
upon the latter's retirement from congress
formed a law partnership wKh him In 1891,
which association was dissolved only with
the death of Mr. Ives.: - -
For the past thirteen years Mr. Ivea,
who was commonly called "Judge" Ives,
vas actively engaged In the practice of law
at me Dar or uougias county, nia preier
ence running to office work, both In the
nature of consulting attorney . and In the
preparation of cases. In politics ha was a
republican and. often did effective work
for th party in a quiet way,, eschewing all
political ambition, In fact having a positive
aversion to holding' office of any kind. So
cially Judge lyes waa . popular in a quiet
way and was a member of the Omaha club.
He attended St. Mary's Avenue Congrega
tional church. A wife, but no children,
survive him.
Of the deceased W. J. Connell' raid:
'Judge Ives was one of the most thorough
and best Informed lawyers at the Douglas
county bar. W hile modest and retiring and
not In any sense a. Jury lawyer, he was re
garded as an , able, clear and logical brief
writer and without an equal In the prepara
tion of a case for trial.
