British Charge d'Affaires, of the Russian demands. to the open- | ing of the ports in question, the Chinese vour kim | authorities replied that the circumstances were not favorable for compliance. The Mr. Townley, reported to have taken the same stand as Japan. The United States de- manded the opening of the harbor in ad- dition to the other demands. In this con- nectlon negotiations are said to be un- der way between Secretary Hay and the Chinese Embassador at Washington. COUNCILS IN JAPAN. The reply to the Japanese demand created a movement In Government circles. There had been an extrordinary Cabinet meeting on the 10th, at which Admiral Baron Yamamoto, Minister of the Navy, who has been testing the war efficiency of all the Japanése naval ports, was present and it was rumored that the Cabinet was unanimous for a ‘‘positive policy,” having for its object the check- ing of Russia by an appeal to arms if necessary. It was not known, however, how the elder statesemen (Genro), an ex-officio po- litical power in Japan, regarded the mat- ter, mor whether the policy intimated China or Russia as the possible object of direct attack. This latter problem Is not yet known, but extraordinary steps were taken to ascertain the sentiment of the elder statesmen. On June 23 a conference of these vet- erans was called before the throne. Mar- quig JIto, Fleld Marshal Marquis Yama- gata, Fleld Marshal Marquis Oyama, Count Matsukata and Count Inonye were present and the Premier, Ministers of War and the Navy and Forelgn Affairs joined them. The grave political situa- tion was discussed at length. While it was not learned what occurred, Japanese papers point to the conference as showing the increasing gravity of the situation. Marquis Ito and Count Inonye are known to opposé drastic measures, but the Ministers and Marquis Yamagata and Count Matsukata favored the Cabinet’'s stand. At a second conference held on June 24 it was stated that Marquis Ito had come to agree in general with the Cabinet's views for a “positive pollcy.” CHINA -ACTS SECRETLY. The compelling cause of these secret conferences was the announcement from Peking early on the 23d of June that a secret convention had been concluded be- tween the Russian Minister and Prince Ching and signed on the 20th. It was was negotiating with | Minister | any secret agreement with Russia. Later it was announced that the agreement, containing four parts, had been forward- ed to St. Petersburg for imperial sanction, ' | whereupon it would go into immediate | effect. The belief is that the convention exists, but that it was concluded between the Russfan Minister and the Chinese Vice Minister, so that Prince Ching will be able to disclaim any official knowledge of its existence. In the meantime it was stated that Prince Chiag’ informed Mr. Townley, British Charge d'Affaires at Peking, that he had not seen M. Lessar, but that Vice Minister Lien Feng had been conferring with the Russian Minis- ter, and an arrangement wholly satisfac- tory to the powers concerned would be concluded shortly. Russia still maintains its grasp on the timber-cutting provinces, etc., on the Yalu, and has sent a formal note to the Korean Government maintaining its rights there. The Japan-China Company is hoisting Japanese flags on its rafts, and friction has occurred between the Russians and Japanese over the owner- ship of some rafts. Russia's military preparations near the Yalu are being continued. On June 18 400 Russian cavalry with one gun arrived at Antung Hsien, being the advance party of numerous artillery and cavalry which left’ Liaoyang for the Yalu. These re- ports are confirmed by official advices re- ceived at Pekingi W. F. Sands, American adviser to the Korean court, is leaving Seoul for home. He held the foremost position among the foreign advisers. —— s s MONTANA CATTLEMEN ENGAGE -IN WARFARE Warrants Issued for Arrest of Partic- ipants in One-Sided Shoot- ing Affair. BUTTE, Mont..

Special Dispatch to The Call CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N, W., WASHINGTON, July 11.—Mrs. Har- riet Lane Johnson's bequest to the Cor- coran Art Gallery of paintings by the famous masters will not be accepted by the - trustees of that institution. An of- ficial of the gallery said positively to-day | that the board had decided to reject this offer, on the ground that the donor makes impossible conditions and that the ex- ive plans now on foot to establish a cnal art gallery in the capital, into wrich the Corcoran gallery will be incor- pcrated. There have been conferences between a prominent citizen of Washing- ton and a trustee of the Corcoran Art Gallery with J. Pierpont Morgan and the latter has offered to transfer his vali- able collection of paintings, valued at $6,000,000, to the national gallery in the event of its establishment. The plans now are to have a bill creat- ing a national gallery introduced at the next session of Congress by a New Yorx member, who will accompany the projest with a voluntary offer of $1,000,000 for the #.zintenance of the institution. Patrons of art from New York, Boston and other centers plan to go before Congress to ad- vocate the bill, which is understood ‘o have President Roosevelt's approval. The trustees of the Corocoran gailery favor tl.» movement, because this gallery is co: fired in space and is hardly represent: tive of the highest art development of the ccuntry. Special attention is to be devoted to the exhibition of ceramics and other products of the North American Indian. The promoters of the bill say that many valuable private collections are assured if the national gallery bill is passed.

He told the President that as Senator Long and Mr. Leland and Governor Balley had been recognized Im the appointment of Judge Hook to a Cir- cuit Judgeship, it was only fair that Sen- ator Burton and Mulvane and that wing of the party should be recognized in ths appointment of Hook’s successor. “Last spring Senator Burton calied at the White House and told the Piesident | that he (Burton) was Interested in a high class Christian exhibit at St. Louis, to be an exact reproduction of the City of Jeru- era.

Burton took the letter, which was a personal and private one, put it in the center of a big advertisement of stock of the Jerusalem scheme and sent ‘t to a magazine, making the President, by the wording of the advertisement, ad- vise people to buy stock in Burton's scheme. Before printing the advertise- ment the magazine wrote to the President to learn if the letter was genuine. “Roosevelt was in a full-blosded rage.
