L T TRYING TO AVERT A WAR. Secretary Hay Using His Good Of- fices With Russia and Japan. WASHINGTON, July 23.—Very hopeful Londgn of the French arbi- | l the | \ feeling prevails here that the differences | between Japan and Russia will yleld to | efforts now being made by neutral pow- ers to bring about a settlement. It is learned that Secretary Hay, realizing that war between Russta and Japan was not improbable If conditions did not change, has been using his good offices to avert a conflict. On every occasion presented he has not failed to urge upon the representatives of the two govern- ments the necessity of maintaining peace East, where the consequences of war might be to invoive al civilized powers in the most terrible struggle the world has ever known. Japan is reported to be furious over the alleged advance of Russlan troops into | Korea for the ostensible purpose of pro- tecting timber cutters employed in the Korean forests. This is the most acute question now involved in the differences between Russia and Japan. Recent re- ports that there had been an agreement on the timber cutting matter which would satisfy Japan's qualms were at first credited here, but now it is sald thar Japan will be satisfied with nothing short of the relinquishment by Russia of the timber concessions. G DOUBTS PEKING ADVICES. State Department Has Not Heard of | China’s Change of Front. WASHINGTON, July 2.—The State Departmen. has heard nothing recently from Minister Conger respecting the Manchurian negotiations, so 1t is sug- gested that the Peking report to the effect that the Chinese Government, through Prince Ching, has declined to open any Manchurian pérts refers to a phase of the negotiations dating about two weeks back. The reason this suggestion is a knowledge on the part of the officials here that before Secretary Hay's depart- ure for his summer home the Chinese Government actually did pledge itself to open two or three more ports in Man- churia. 1f, however, there has been any change in the Chinese attitude since this pledge was given, it is said here that the United States Government will not be moved thereby, but, holdi@g fast to the pledges already given, will insist on | | their redemption. — Russia Borrowing Millions.

BALFOUR SPEAK IN HI3 DEFENGE Premier Champions the Right of Chamberlain to Air Views. * LONDON, July 23.—Addressing the Primrose League at a dinner to-night at the Hotel Cecil, Premier Balfour warmly defended Colonial Secretary Chamberlain against unreasonable attacks because he had given, as he had the right to do, ex- pression of views on the colonial question. No man, Balfour said, had a better op- portunity than Mr. Chamberlain of know- ing their views. Balfour reiterated his previous statement that the Government approuched the question with an open mind and said that it was folly to expect the Ministry on a_moment's notice te”pro- duce a formulated scheme on such a great subject. The Government had pledged itself not to ask the country not to make a change until after the general election and premature and hasty parliamentary debate could only produce divisions among friends without benefiting the country. The educational campaign on the tariff programme which Colonial Secretary Chamberiain has vigorously launched by means of leaflets and circulars came in for serious criticism in the House of Lords this afternoon. Earl Spencer, the Liberal leader, " complained that Mr. Chamberlain was practically violating the Government agreement, namely that the fiscal diseussion should be posiponed un- til October. He said the distribution of such literature looked on its face as though the Government had taken up Mr. Chamberlain’s views. Earl Spencer added that if Mr. Cham- berlain remained in the Cabinet It would be almost Impossible to dissoclate his views from the policy of the Government as a whole. The Duke of Devonshire, Conservative leader in the House, retorted thut while he gathered from the remarks that the Premier ought to tell Mr. Chamberlain to resign he feared that was a rather illog- ical procedure since though the Govern- ment had by no means yet adopted the views of the Colonial Secretary, the Gov- ernment's investigation, so far s it had proceeded, had convinced the Premier and his colleagues that Mr. Chamberlain's im- peachment of the fiscal policy was well founded and that changes ought to be effected. ————— SOUFRIERE VOLCANO IS AGAIN SLIGHTLY AGITATED Subterranean Quaking Throws People of Kingston Into a State of Consternation. KINGSTON, Isle of St. Vincent, July 23.—The Soufriere volcano has been slight- 1y agitated since July 19, emitting puffs intermittently, which caused clouds and low rumblings. A severe earthquake shock was felt at 1:40 a. m. Tuesday, ac- companied by a subterranean sound of craeking, which shook the bufldings here and threw the people into a state of con- sternation, fearTng that a disastrous phe- nomenon would follow this earthquake, similar to that of July 17, 192, which pre- ceded the eruption of September 3, 1902. 1 NEW BATTLESHIP FOR JORN' BULL Princess of Wales Sends the King Edward VIIL Into the Water.

Marcum at Jackson, who bave been in jall here for safe keeping, were quletly spirited away from the Fay- ette County jall this morning, put on the Louisville and Nashville train and taken to Cynthiana, where they are to be tried by Judge Osborne July 27.

Green is to testify in the Cockrill case. It is claimed that he saw the men who fired the shot that killed Cockrill.

HONOLULU, July 23.—Salvage claims for $0,000 each have been filed by the owners of the tugs Fearless and Charles Counselman against the steamer Claver- ing, belonging to the China Commercial Steamship Company. The Clavering a few days ago struck on a reef at the entrance to Honolulu harbor and was pulled off by the tugs named without hav- ing sustained much damage.
