TOKIO, March 6. Japan addressed a
note to the powers today In response to the
recent communication from Russia. The
note has not been published here and lis
contents are unknown.
Run.Vs various communications to the
powers, attacking Japan for Its conduct of
diplomatic negotiations before their rup
ture. In the attack upon Russia without
declaration of War and Ha alleged Viola
tion of the neutrality of Corea, has been
received In Japan largely In the solrlt of
amusement. Tho Japanese resent what la
alleged to be a deliberate attempt to place
them In a falp position regarding certain
Incidents, but In the main do not take the
correspondence, seriously.
Responding to the charge of violating the
neutrality of Corea, they point to the ac
tion of Rusala In Manchuria, where thou
sands of troops were assembled long be
fore a diplomatic rupture occurred. Thay
say that they are fully prepared to accept
the Judgment of the world on a comparison
of their course In Corea, where they landed
troops only after a state of war existed,
and upon the written permission of the
emperor of Corea. Thay deny that Che
mulpo waa a neutral port after the Japa
neae landed on February 8, but whether It
was neutral or belligerent, Rusala began
hostilities there. When the Russian gun-
boat Korlota steamed out of the harbor of
Chemulpo on the afternoon of February I
It opened firs on the Japaneae squadron,
making the opening shot of the war. The
Japanese guns did not respond, but the
Japaneae torpedo boat destroyers answered
the f.ra and discharged two torpedoes be
fore the Korleta retired.
The Japanese are confident of the Justice
and strength of their original position on
tha Integrity of China and the fairness of
their proposals' during ths negotiations.
They feel fully Justified In commencing
hostilities after breaking oft diplomatic
relations and serving notice of their Inten
tion to take independent action. Thay are
sure that their recent assurance that thay
had no Intention of taking possession of I
Chinese territory and wovid guarantee the
Integrity and Independenoo of Corea would
be accepted by the power?.
The final returns of the Parliamentary
elections show that over 100 new members
were elected. The lar?e Incrsaae of the
Independent membership Is regarded aa a
favorable sign. Of lato yeara ths Diet has
been composed largely of politicians and
popular Interest and confidence in It de

BOONE. Ia., March S tSpeclal Tele
gram ) Mrs. Sherman Dye. the woman
Charged with Bending poisoned candy
through the malls to Miss Lena Nelson at
Pierre, 8. P., was arrested here this even
ing as she got off a train returning home
from Des Moines. She will be held await
ing the arrival of the sheriff from Pierre,
who Is expected tomorrow morning. This
morning Mrs. Dye left the city and It
waa suspected that she wan making an
effort to escape the officers, but her return
this evening changed the view. She ex
pressed surprise at the arrest, but went
willingly.
A reporter tonight obtained the following
statement from her:
"This Is the first I ever knew of the pois
oned candy and I believe It Is putup Job
on me. I will go to Jail willingly bt cause I
know that I am Innocent and that It will
all ,be cleared up. I will say, though, that
I have a cause for grievance against Mias
Nelson and my husband. They have been
more or lesa Intimate for four years. At i
that time Miss Nelson worked for the tele
phone company here. I was sick for a long
time nnd Mr. Dye was away a great deal.
I afterwards learned that he, spent much
time with her. I used to see him go to the
chicken coop every day, and when I got
well I srached It and found her picture and
Bome of her letters there. Laat Christmas
she sent him six silk handkerchiefs and a
letter which came to the house and 1
opened It. I would have left him long
ago had It not been for our little girl. I
never saw the woman. We have been mar
ried twelve yeara and were always happy
until four j ears ago. This will show where
my husband standa, whether he Bides with
me or the girl "
Mr. Dye was Interviewed this afternoon,
which was the first Intimation he had of
the impending arrcet of his wife. His first
words were, "My God, can that be true? I
don't believe It Is, but I know nothing about
It." He admitted having an acquaintance
with Miss Nelson, who was formerly em
ployed as a telephone operator here.

PIERRE, S. D., March 5.-(Speclal Tele

for Boone, la., to secute the custody of
Mrs. Dye, accused, of sending poisoned
candy to Miss Rena Nelson of .this city.
The requisition papers, under the circum

state, merely giving a statement of the
fact and asking for custody of the ac
cused on that ground.
The p;obablllty la that the queatlon of

Nebraska Delegation Waa Warmly
Opposed by Mr. Mana of Illinois
and Mr. Sherman of New

WASHINGTON, March 6. The hnuee
today passed the Indian appropriation bill
after some small controversy affecting
tribes In the Indian Territory. An unsuc
cessful effort waa made by Mr. Stephens
(Tex.) to eliminate the provision for con
tinuing the Dawes commission another
year.
Among, the Important amendmenta
adopted were those to remove restrictions
on the disposition of land of allottees In the
Indian Territory who are not of full Indian
blood, and of vesting authority In the secre
tary of the Interior heretofore resting with
the ln commission In the matter of'
sale, of lands belonging to th? Creek In
dians. The provision authorizing the vest
ing of certain lands in the Indian Terri
tory which have been allowod to full blood
Indians of a number of tribes was stricken
from the bill on a point of order.
There was a spirited contest over the
question of the maintenance of a ware
house at Omaha. Messrs. Hlnshaw and

delegation, were opposed by Mr. Mann
(111.) and Mr. 8herman (N. T.), but the

SENATE STIRItED IP OVER JAPAN.
Remark by Mr. Nelson Lends to Acri
monious t'nllontiv.
WASHINGTON, March B. There was an
Interesting exchange of views In the senate
today between Mr. Nelson and Mr. Hale.
The Minnesota senator, In the course of a
brief colloquy with Mr. Patterson ooncenv
Ing features of the navy approprlitlon bill.
expressed the opinion that there Is a corn-
munlty of Interest on the pirt of the
United States, Great Britain and Japan to
protect China ngalnst dismemberment. To
this statement Mr. Hale, In charge of the
bill, objected sharply, saying that the posi
tion of the United States In :he present
war Is that of neutrality and that he could
not allow to go unchallenged any state
ment In the senate Indicating a r.atiohal
Interest in either RiiB?la or Japan.
Mr. Nelson responded by saying Mr.
ITalo had Indicated as great partiality fur
Russia as he had expressed for Japan.
The naval bill again occupied prac 1 ally
all of the time of the senate, but, while
the amendment concerning a naval train
ing station for tho Great Iokes wis
tacitly the pending quettl m, it waa
scarcely mentioned. The discussion today
was entirely on political lin e anl was
participated In by Mtesrs. Hale, Depew and
Nelson on the republican side ; nd by
Mersrs. Gorrmn, City, Martin, Patterson
and Bacon on the democratic side.
Mr. Martin supported the bill and Mr.
Gorman, while criticising the too rapid
growth of tha navy, snld that If he c uld
do so he would not at this time, on tha eve
of a presidential. campaign, change the sit
uation because of the bad effect of taking
the navy Into politics.
Consideration of the naval bill was, not
completed when the senate adjourned.
Mr. Depew defended President R'.osevelt
agalnBt the charge of Impetuoaliy and reck
lessness, saying that If he had had the dis
position to make trouble he could have
found It In the Canadian disputes.
."A less wise man would have seen and
aelsed the opportunity to appeal - to the
popular sentiment," he said. "Inetead of
doing thla the president had appealed to
arbitration,, and In view of the result we
owe him a lasting debt of gratitude for the
wisdom and patriotism displayed."
Mr. Gorman congratulated Mr. Hale on
his conduct of naval legislation In the sen
ate. He reviewed the growth of the navy, !
aaylng that when Mr. Whitney took charge
of the department It was In very bad oon- j
ditlon. He had spoken for himself In say-
Ing the administration waa advancing too
rapidly and had gone too far in the In
crease of the navy.
Mr. Foraker gave notlre that on Thurs
day, March 81, he would ask the' s.Miate
to consider resolutions of respect for the
late Senator Hanna. At 6: tha senate
adjourned. '

Ing with an attic. The two women slept In
tha attic and the priests had apartments
on the second and third floors.' The Are,
which started In the passageway connect

blinding smoke and escaped Into the street.
