Informa- ‘tion received from some of .the leading diplomatic authorities shows that the gravity of the siuation has been by no means exaggerated. At the present mo- ment, however, there 1s prevalent a strong desire in Japan to preserve peace, i possible. Without divulging the names of authoritieg who have communicated their views on the sitdation, it may be said that the idpa of the ekisttnce of a “war party,” so-called, in Japan is delu- sory and that the Emperor, the Cabinet and his advisers are all in favor of an honorable compromise of the difficulty. But it is argued that the conflict between Russia, which bas been described as “the’ appeased whén Minister Conger informed | .| Japanese nuthor!!les have taken every = -+ | tollows: J. R.

Nichols, Philadelphia,. halfback the Entire Wmter. New America,” and Japan for the mas- tery of the .Pacific must assuredly come end must imevitably leave a greater forthcoming conflict between Russia and the United States, umnless some halting ground of Russian expansion be found. Japahn is convinced that the. first halting ground should be Manchuria, and falling tbat, that it must be Korea. There is [ undoubtedly a strong feeling in° Japan that if Russia be dllowed to everrun | Manchuria and also. overrun Korea the knell of the Japanese empire will have been sounded. Therefore, while willing to compromise on a basis of the perma- nent open door in Manchuria, the reten. tion of Manchuria by China as an inte- gral part of her kingdom and the absolute integrity of Korea, Japan is not prepared 4o go further. The present. prospects are for continued negotiations, but in the outlylng dis- tricts the sitpation is liable to get out of harid and a hostile cHIIl be thus at any time precipitated. In the meantime disturbing rumors of Russian movements, following non-evacu- étion on October 8- in defiance of the treaty,’ continue’ to unsettle trade. The and séveral ribs broken. E. 8.

Following are some of the more im- |- portant features of the situation: On October 7, the eve of the date set for Russian evacuation of Manchuria, the Chuwo, a Toklo paper, created a sensa- tion by publishing a report that Baron Rosen, on returning from Port” Arthur to Tokip, presented to the Japanese Govern- fireman, left ankle broken. base of the skull; may die.

The Presi- dent continued: “T.do.not expect to be re- elet‘ted Presi- dent by trust prombters who are fighting for special privileges, nor by the -most radical labor union' men, who would shut out all -othey men from'an opportunity | to’work; mor by those who would close the ooy of hope against the colored man as a -Citizen. They are .all demanding special privileges, which cannot be recog- nized by the President, whosé ogth of office binds him to execute the laws for all alike and recognize none as above the law. If I am re-elected to this high of- fice it must be on my record as executor of the law without favors or discrimina- tions.” At his meeting in Baltimore last night Senator Gorman had thrown on a screen pictares of ‘the President and Book- er. T. Washington dining together, and he wused this as the text for his speech- on negro domina- tion, charging the President with trying to force social equality with negroes. Gor- man wanted to know what the President and Booker T. Washington- talked about when they took luncheon togetheér. As has been published -heretofore, Book- er T.

A S A MR E mGE ROOSEVELT - FEARLESS. President’s Daughter Displays Pluck in a Coaching Accident. €HICAGO, Oet.31.-The same spirit that rendered her father ¢alm in the face of the Spanish.guns at the storming of Sar Juan characterizes Miss Alice Roose- velt. She proved this to-day in an acci- dent that marred the pleasure of a eoach- Ing party.of which she was a membet. ‘ Tooling along Michigan boulevard at high speed Sidney C:-Lové, who was Miss Rodseveit's hest at the.time, suddenly lurched forward and was néarly thrown from his®seat. - One of -lis horses had slipped and fallen. The codch came to 4 sudden stop as its struck the prostrate animal and the oc- cupants were badly * shaken.” Several women. screamed and for a momert all was confusion. Miss Roosevelt sat still. ‘‘What {s the matter?” she asked Love duletly. Love jumped down &nd e.xmlned his horse. “I fear he has broken his leg,” he said. At tlils there were more screams, which only served to frighten the other animals, which were already pulling wildly at their harness. Miss Roosevelt, took the reins from the step, where they had fallen. “Is there anything I can do, Mr. Love?" she asked. > “Nothing except make every one. keep as quiet as possible,” he said. Miss Roosevelt turned to the other oc- cupants of the coach. Y “There is absolutely no dlnxtr." she sald. “The poor horse is the only one to suffer.” Then she added, “Unless the other hogses become frightened.” There was no more screaming, and as soon as’the men who were in the coaches in the rear of Love’s came, the horse was unharnessed. 5 ——i YOUNG WOMAN DIES B .

Another doctor was cnllod tor consul- tation, and, being unable to make a satis- factory examination without the use of chloroform, the doctors had seated the patient in the chair and were just start- ing to administer the anesthetic when Miss Mitchell suddenly took on a death- like pallor and before anything could be done to save her she was dead.

Not only the return of the Democrats to the control of the cit’s gbvernment but .also the leadership of Murphy in Tam- many Hall is involved in the struggle. Murphy, it is menerally believed, was placed In the leadership by Richard Cio- ker, and it is thought that defeat would mean’ his_deposition. The existence of wholesale colonization in a number of Assembly districts in Manhattan and the Bronx was revealed to-day by the examination of more than 1000 witnesses, who were, suinmoned to va- | rious police stations on subpenas issued ° by State Superintendent of Elections Mor- gan. From the testimony of thése wit- nesses it appeared that the illegal regis- tration amounted to “several thousand. No less than 350 cases were discovered in the Fifteenth Assembly District alone, in which 800 witnesses were examined by one of the superintendent's deputies. The usual step of summoning witnesses for examination. in several houses was taken In. accordance with a plan arranged by Superintendent Morgan and Police Commissioner Green. The As- sembly districts concerned are * almost ‘wholly -in the poorer districts in the east and west sides of the city, in which men can easfly rent rooms for a short time without exciting suspicion. In nearly all instances the witnesses testified that the persons suspected did not live in the houses from whieh they were registered.
