FRANCE HAS THE DECISION
qeestloa of Reciprocity Lett to For
elga Office After Nat from
Aaaerlca.
PARIS, Feb. 4-An official of the United
States embassy called at the Foreign office
today to urge an early reply to the last
American note concerning a. raviainn nt ti
Franco-American reciprocity arrangement.
xne negotiations have assumed the fol
lowing exact form: franca avr.ranaa (
wllllngnesa to restore the minimum tariff
on yvmenoan meat, and a:ao to grant the
minimum tariff on Porta Tllrn -nff ao if ih.
United States will give per cent reduction
in xne rate on champagne, under the reci
procity clause of the Dlngley. act. The
American answer, given six weeka ago, ex
presses willingness to take up the forego
ing if, besides reduction on meat and .coffee.
Francs will reduce the duties on other
articles sufficiently to counterbalance the
concession on champagne. The answer to
this note is now awaited, the Foreign office
saying that ths minister of commerce has
not yet reached a decision.

BERLIN, Feb. (.-The Reichstag today
passed the bill prolonging for one year tha

strength. It was generally predicted before
the last election that the government would
attempt to carry a bill this winter Increas
ing the number of troops under arms, but
the unsatisfactory financial status of the
empire prevented it.
It is now believed the government merely
postponed ttie execution of the plan until

ths Inhabitants of Bung Gin, the only open
port between Oenson, Corea, end Vladi
vostok, Siberia, that all except the strong
men should leave.
Military experts here think that Japan
must sti-lke first the coast of northern
Corea.
Rumors of Russian advances Into the
north of Corea are still pouring in, but
they are vague. The recent epidemic
among the live stock In this country has
caused so great a scarcity of cattle that
transportation In the middle of Corea la
almost Impossible. t
Was Seems Near.
LONDON. Feb. . The proepect of a
great war breaking out In the far east next
week la acknowledged even lu hitherto pa
cific quarters, to have been brought appre
ciably nearer by the developments of the
last day or two. That a Kusso-Japanece
conflict will be followed by a Balkan out
break, which in time may develop into a
widespread European conflagration, la also
considered probable and increases the de
pression pervading all political and com
mercial circles in England and on ths conti
nent Indications point to the fact that informa
tion received at the Japanese legation here
from Tokio shows that Russia's reply, In
ths estimation of the legation, decidedly
doea not meet Japan's wishes. The general,
tension In diplomatic quarters hers today
is unquestionably Increased.
The scare in city cirolea here was siiown
today by a wild report current on the Stock
exchange that a aevere naval engagement
has taken plaoe in which three Russian
and two Japanese' ships were sunk. ,
The British postofflce emphasises the crit
ical state of the situation by announcing
that code telegrams cannot 'be accepted
for any place in Japan, thus confirming
the New York announcements to the same
effect. There Is reason to believe that the
substance of the last Ruaslan reply has
already been communicated to the Japanese
'.egatlon here and thence to the Foreign
lifflce. One long and several shorter cable
mesaages from TokU have recently been
received by Baron Hayashl, the Japanese
minister. There was unusual activity at
the legation thla morning and long mes
sages were f cnt to various points.
Coadltloas at Vladivostok.
VLADIVOSTOK. Feb. s.-Even the au
thorities here apparently are without in
formation In regard to the general sltna
tlon. They receive casual Instructions
from which it Is apparent that prepara
tions are being increased to repel a hoatile
attack, hut no comprehensive steps have
been taken, nor has there been any special
allotment of funds, without which many
things are Impossible. The movement of
troops toward Corea has been stopped.
The public Is greatly depressed by the
uncertainty and banking and mercantile
operations sre at a standstill.
If. Vladivostok is blockaded the offices
of the Usaurl railroad Snd the law courts
will be transferred to Khabarovsk, and the
administrative offices to Nlkolsk, Useuri.
The Oriental Institute ar.d other educa
tional establishments will be closed.
Jt Is rumored that all stranger .whether
i Russian or foreign, will be required to
leave the precincts of the fortifications and
the native residents will be required to
provide quarters for 8.000 toldlers, with
horses, with orders to mobilise the reserve
being expeoted hourly..

and an angry crowd gathered. A body of
Corean gendarmes soon arrived at the
scene of trouble and an encounter with the
Russians followed. The gendarmes fought
well, overpowering the Russian, one of
whom was wounded. The Corean 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.
Cable Service Hampered.
NEW YORK, Feb. (.-The Central Cable
company today announced that cables can
riot be accepted for any place in Japan.
The Commercial Cable company Is sd
vlsed by the Japanese administration that
secret language Is prohibited in private
messages to Japan.
loiter the Western Union was Informed
that the Japanese government had modified,
Its restrictions so that that addressee of a
code dispatch may receive such cablegram
provided he files a copy of his code with the
authorities. Mefsagea will be accepted,
however, only at sender's risk.
A Russian officer who has lately re
turned 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 are now. The officer
also states that the mouth of the Amur
river Is heavily mined and that the river
In equipped with light craft, each pa
trolling about sixty-six miles and carrying
light artillery.
A amall party of Russian soldiers, pre
viously reported as "haying entered Corea
near Samsoo, has passed Churning, about
100 miles further west on the Yalu river,
cables the Herald's correspondent at Seoul.
Russia is evidently renewing Its examina
tion of the Corean side of the Yalu. The
Japanese minister in Corea has modified
his order to Japanese reaidents at Son
Chan. He says the men may remain for
the present, but the women and children
must leave. The Japanese residents at
WIJu have been ordered to leave.
Day of Apprehension.
A day of tension and apprehension has
been passed here and London is still with
out other Information regarding develop
ments In the far eastern situation other
than newa received In the dispatches to
the Associated Press, After a forenoon
of intense activity at the Japanese lega
tion, the minister. Baron Hayashl, drove
to the Foreign office, where he was closeted
with Foreign Secretary Lansdowne for a
little while.
Lata tonight no further dispatches had
beau received at the Japanese legation, the
officials there Insisting that, except for the
news contained In the press dtcpatches,
they were still without even an Intimation
that the Russian reply to Japan's demands
had been received. .
War Almost Certain.
It can be stated that Mr. Takahlras'
visit to the State department was for the
purpose of conveying an Important com
munication that will prepare this govern
ment for the course of action Japan la
generally supposed to take.' He gave the
aotlng 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 been
always considered' by Japan a vital part
of negotiations. This fact leads the of
ficials here to believe that Russia's refusal
to make a treaty on this point will be fol
lowed by' war. t the Japanese legation it
la, said gn Important announcement may
be madOj to the American people within
a. short tlms.
"In the present crisis," sn official added,
"discreet silence Is absolutely necessary,"
May Satisfy Japan. :
PARIS, Feb. (.The Temps' correspond
ent at St. Petersburg telegraphs that the
Russian reply is considered by those close
to Foreign Minister Lemsdorff as being of
a nature to give satisfaction to Japan. He
adds 'that while Ignorant of the contents
of the reply, It is easy to divine that It
Is "couched In most conciliatory terms and
recognises Japanese economic supremacy
In Corea, but opposes tho erection of
fortifications at the principal trateglc
points. In Manchuria, Russia recognizes
all the rights acquired, but. will make no
engagements for the future.
"The pneino disposition of the cxar and
Foreign Minister Lamsdoj-ff la expressed
publicly. His majesty is in exoellent humor
snd seems happy.
The newspapers reflect the public feeling
that war is very near and only the moat
conservative maintains that a pacific solu
tion Is possible.
M. Leroy Beaulleu, the eminent author
and authority on Russia and tha far eat,
being aiked what he thought of Russia's
controversy with Japan, made the following
significant reply:
"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 cln
elusive and lasting overbrow, and Japan
will equally' be unable to penetrate into
Russia and give lasting effect to any tern
porary triumphs."
M. Delcaase, in personal converaatlon
with members of the diplomatic corps, does
not conceal the gravity of the situation,
but he holds that even if a diplomatic,
rupture occurs thla does not mean an im
mediate outbreak of hostilities. One of
the leading diplomats ssked M. Delcaase
whether he considered war a matter of a
few days.
"On the contrary," ths minister replied,
'I do not believe It likely to occur for a
month or two, even should the negotiations
completely fail."
Ths Figaro this morning says it has
reason to believe that Foreign Minister
Lamsdorft's dispatch contained only the
essential points of the Russian note to
Japan, the full text of which will follow
the dispatch In a few days. It further ex.
presses the belief that the note will not
constitute the Russian government's last
word, but will leave room for further
negotiations.

In business circles here Is Increasing and

till Hopes for Peace.
BERLIN, Feb. 6, The announcement that
Russia's reply was handed to the Japanese
government today was communicated to
the government departments and embassies
this afternoon. Although the Foreign of
fice has not been advised of the contents
of the note, it still believes Japan will
avoid war and probably realize part of Its
alma by occupying several places, both on
the coasts of Corea and In tho Interior of
that country, which. It Is again said. Russia
would not consider cauae for war.
At a recent Russian court ball the For
eign office la Informed, the rsar gave the
Japanese minister his lisnd and spoke to
him In tha most friendly manner. This
Incident Is quoted as Illustrating the czar's
peaceful intentions.
