ANSWERS CHARGE OF RUSSIA
Japanese Government Hikes Keply to
Claim of Irregular Aotioo.
STATEMENT GIVtN OUT IN WASHINGTON
Bays that Many of the Statements Are
False and Others Cannot Be
Answered nt This
Time.
WASHINGTON, March 8. The Japanese
minister is authorized by his government
to give to the press the following state
ment received on tha 4th Instant:
The Imperial Japanese government Is
given to understand that the Russian gov
ernment has recently addressed a note to
the powers in which the government of
Japan Is charged with having committed
Certain acts In Corea which are considered
by Hiusla to be In violation of the Inter
national law and all future orders and
declarations by the Corean government are
declared on that account to be Invalid. The
Imperial government does not find It neces
sary In the present Instance to conoern
Itself In any way with the views, opinions
or declarations of the imperial Russian
government, but It believes It to be Its
right and duty to correct misstatements
of fact which If permitted to remain un
contradicted might give rle to Incorrect
Inferences and conclusions on the part of
neuirai powers.
Accordingly the government of Japan
manes tne following statement- respecting
the five acts which in the note referred to
are declared to be fully proved and con
firmed: 1. It Is charged tinder this heading 'that
'before the opening of hostilities against
Russia, Japan landed troops In the Inde
pendent empire of Corea, which had do-
ciarei us neutrality.
The Imperial government admits thst
Japanese troops landed In Corea before
declaration of war was Issued, but not
before a state of war actually existed be
tween Japan and Russia. The mainte
nance of the Independence and territorial
Integrity of Corea Is one of the objects of
the war and the dispatch of troops to the
menaced territory was a matter of right
and necessity which had the distinct con
sent of the Cores n government. The Im
perial government drew a sharp distinction
sen. the iandlnsr nf .lannnt-aa irnnna In

Japan captured as prlsea of war the Rus

question of the legality of the selkure of

manifestly out of place for the imperial

and an escort of Japanese soldiers was

this connection it may be remarked that
the Russian consul at Fusan remained at

AMENDMENT, WITH OTHERS, ACCEPTEO
Porto Hleas Amendment Objected to
by Democrat Sarorlnar Too
Much ol Military Form of
Government.
WASHINGTON, March 8. -The senate
spent almost the entire day discussing the
Committee amendments to the army bll
concerning provisional troops In th Phil
ippines and the consolidation of. the adju
tant general's office and of the record and
pension office. Tho Porto Mean amendment
Was objected to by democratic senators aa
tending to a more pronounced military form
of government. Both amendments wer
Ultimately accepted. The bill waa amended
so as to provide lor an Increase In the en
glneer corpa It was pctiding when th
senate adjourned.
At the beginning of the session Mr. New
lands (Nev.) spoke In favor of the paaeags
of his bill to preserve the vista from the
dome of the capltol to Washington monu
ment by restricting the erection of publio
buildings to a line 400 feet on either side a
central line between the points named.
He expressed the opinion that no mor
public building should be erected on th
Mall, but that it should be reserved for
exposition buildings with the view of hav
Ing exhibitions In Washington every ten
years," as Is done In Paris. The bill was rc
ferred to th District of Columbia.
' When the reading of the bill was com'
pleted the amendment concerning the pro
visional Porto Rlcan leglment was kgain
taken up.
Mr. Teller moved to disagree to'lhe senate
amendment making the regiment consist
of three battalions instead of two a fixed
by the house. The suggestion caused
wide range of debate
Mr. earmark said ho took the proposi
tion aa an Indication of a tendency towards
ft ollltary government, saying that the
"distinguished soldier," Mr. Hoot, had been
mustered out of the office of secretary of
war with f.ylng flags and his sucoeMor
had been inducted into oince under a.'mllar
conditions.
' "Now," he said, ' we are to have a mili
tary display on tho presentation of diplo
mats. J am sorry the order for that sys
tem was too late for Bunau-Varllla,"
Mr. Quarles snld that the Increase in
the number of battalions hnd been made
because of the necessity of having a force
of men on the Isthmus of Panama who
understood tha Spanish language.
Mr. Teller's amendment waa rejected and
the provision for three battalions was re
tained. The eenate also returned to th.
committee amendment transforming the
adjutant general's office Into a military
nesretary's department. Mr. Proctor aald
the amendment was In lh Interest of
operative detail. The amendment was
agreed to.
Mr. Culberson suggested an amendment
providing for an increase In the engineer
cotps. explaining the necessity for a
larger number of et glneer officers In the
river and harbor work of the country.
With some modifications the amendment
was accepted. It provides that the corps
shall be composed of ten colonels, sixteen
lieutenant colonels, thirty-two majors,
forty-three captains, torty-three first lieu
tenants and forty-three second lieutenants.
Mr. Teller proposed an amendment to
the committee amendment for the retire
ment with advanced rank of officers who
served. In the civil var, so as to make It
retroactive. . The amendment was ac
cepted. , With tlw VII still pending the

acter wer. passed. One relating to the

PIERRE, S. D., March S.-9peclal Tele
gram.) After a week of Intense suffering
Miss Rena Nelson, the Victim of polaoned
candy, sent from Roone, In., died at a late
hour last night at her home six miles north
of this city from the effects of the drug.
From the first the attending physician held
out no hope, and while the young woman
herself believed that she would recover the
physician who had been colled In would
give no hope. That she held on so long
with the suffering Is attributed to her
health and strength, she being a large and
strong young woman. The remains were
brought to this city this forenoon and an
Inquest, with a post mortem examination,
will be held this afternoon.
The question aa to whether Mra. Dye will
be brought to this state, for trial will be
largely settled by the action of Governor
Cummins of Iowa at the hearing on requisi
tion today, but even if he should grant the
desired extradition papers a fight will be
made in the court of Iowa following his
action If it should b in favor of the con
tention of this atate.
