RUSSIA’'S REPLY TO THE JAPANESE - GOVERNMENT'S FINAL NOTE REFUSES TO ACCEPT THE Continued From Page 1, Column 5. One reason why the British alarmist news fails to convince the Russians is the perfect understanding here of the benefits Great Britain derives from the It was known here a year ago that Great , Britain was planning to occupy Thibet and extend the railroad to a point in the Yangtse Valley which is reachable by gunboats from the sea. Great Britain's forward movement at this time excites both ad- miration and rage, the former for the clever political move, the latter because Russia is so much occupied in the Far East that she is unable to preveut Great Britain creatirg her own Man- churia in the Yangt o provinces. It is pointed out here that the present situa- tion affords Great Britain the same cp- portunity as actual war between Rus- sia and any third power. . e RUSSIA'S BIG BEEF ORDER. Sedk San_Francisco to Be Supply Depot for Far Eastern Forces. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 28.—The Russian Government has just placed an order with Armour & Co. for 1,500.- 000 pounds of messmeat. The order calls for the delivery of the jmeat at San Francisco by January 22. The meat, it is sald, is for the use of the Ru n army and its destination is said tc be Port Arthur. It appears that the order was re- ceived in this city last week and al- ready a third of the quantity of meat has been started west. The order came through a San Francisco firm. The management of the packing-house here was unable or unwilling to say whether | future orders from the same source were expected, nor could i state -the .xact destination of the shipments. The order was for mess beef, or that class of meat capable of being kept for a long period. Getz Bros. & Co. of this city have received a contract from the Russian Government to supply 3,000,000 pounds of beef. The beef is to be packed for army and na use. According tc the statements made yesterday by a rep- placed within the last throe weeks. No one business house has 3,000,000 pounds of beef on hand. As a consequence orders from Getz Bros. have been placed with Armour and Cudahy and other packing concerns in the Middle West. Supplies are being assembled from va- rious Western points. The fact that the contract was given to a San Francisco firm is indicative of the favorable position of San Fran- cisco as a shipping point in the esti- mation of the Russians. , In the event of war vast quantities of supplies wilk pass out thrcugh the Golden Gate. = i RUSSIA'S REPLY TO CHINA. Lessar Announces That Manchuria * Will Not be Evacuated. PEKING, Dec. 28.—Lien Fang, First Secretary of the Board of Forelgn Af- fairs, visited Russian Minister Lessar to-day and requested information con- cerning the intentions of the Russian Government regarding the evacuation of Manchuria. . Minister Lessar, in reply, said that nothing could be done at present with a view to evacuation for two reasons. In the first place, the Minister point- ed out, the cold weather made it im- possible to-remove the troops from thelr present position, besides whicn there were no barrack accommodaions to be had elsewhere; and in the sec- ond vplace, he said, it would endanger Russian interests to undertake evacua- tion during the progress of the nego- tiations between Russia and Japan, for the reason that Japan might seize the oppertunity to invade Manchuria. The Chinese Government is so alarm- ed at thg prospects of becoming in- volved in the seemingly prospective war that it would prefer that Russia remain in control of Manchuria. As an alternative the Foreign Office has indicated to the Ministers that a set- tlement satisfactory to China would be sne to the effect that Russia and Japan should retain their respective treaty rights in Korea and Manchuria if they agree not to attempt to obtain further advantages in either country. The Russian commander has im- peratively reauested the Tartar gen- resentative of Getz Bros., the contract | eral to disband his militiamen and to with the Russian Government was disarm them.

The point at issue | was the appropriation for the’ special service magistrates, which was sup- pressed by the Chamber and restored by the Senate. Several Deputies insisted that the Sen- ate in restoring the appropriation had acted unconstitutionally, as it had not the authority under the constitution to propose financial expenditures. Premier Combes cut short the debate by declaring that he would not discuss the constitutional question involved. He | said that the appropriation was essen- tial and that if it were not voted he would tender his resignation. The Chamber then restored several of the avpropriations suppressed by the Senate, and consequently the budget will go to the Senate again. Delegates of the Ministerial groups in the Chamber of Deputies held a meet- ing to-day and considered the candi- dates to succeed M. Bourgeoig, who on account of ill health has declined a re- election as President of the Chamber. Paul Doumer, president of the Budget Committee, and Btienne Brisson are prominent candidates. M. Jaures will not again be a candidate for the Vice Presidency of the Chamber. ————— POPE HAS IDEAS ABOUT PROPER CHURCH MUSIC His Holiness Is Fond of the Gregorian Chant and Has Ordered a New Mass Written. ROME, Dec. 28.—After a long dis- cussion with experts, principally with the famous composer, Abke -Perosi, director of the Sistine choir, the Pope has issued of his own accord a note on the subject of sacred music in the churches. In this note, which ap- pears to-night in the Osservatore Ro- mano, his Holiness formulates rules for church music which recall the churches to a strict observance of the instructions issued by former Pontiffs. The Pope condemns the transforma- tion of liturgi¢ music into composi- tions for use at concerts. The Pontiff is strongly in favor of the Gregorian chant and has ordered the Abbe Perosi to compose a Gre- gorian mass for the centenary of St. Gregory the Great next Easter. ————— TOLSTOI IS PLEASED ABOUT BRYAN'S VIEWS Famous Author Is Delighted to Know + That the Nebrasken Is Not a Sociallst.

ROME, Dec. 28.—Following t+he re- ceipt of reports from the Far Hast, a rather optimistic view concerning the difliculties between Japan and Rus- eia is ontertained in official quarters bere. It is not believed that a conflict will take place in the near future, not only for climatic reasons, but becaise Russia is unprepared for war. It is believed that Russia wili first consolidate her warships in the Far East with the voluntezer fleet in the Mediterranean, which latter now nu- bers nine vessels. The vesasls of the Mediterranean fleet have been pur- posely kept apart, so that 10 id2a might be given of . the character or stiength of the squadron. In political circles the opinion pre- vails that the attitude of the United States Covernment will have a defi- nite influence in folving the problem whether Italy side with Japan and Great Britain or remain neutral.

Coroner Hilliker stated to-day that nothing of any Value whatever was found by him when he searched the dead and that he is satisfied that ghouls robbed the remains either while they were in the wreck or were being carried into baggage cars to be brought to this city. | Relatives of L. J. Baldwin d. re that he had between $50 and $50 in his possession when he left this city with his wife and son Saturday afternoon, yet not so much as a nickel was found in his clothing. It is believed by relatives of Bert Myers of Lake Odessa that his body was robbed of $100 and a watch and chain. Sums of money ranging from $10 up to $50 are missing from bodies of vie- tims who are known to have been car- rying money. Sheriff Chapman is authority for the statement that a gang of men was fought off the relief train when it left Grand Rapids, but the Sheriff believes these men managed to get back on the train unnoticed. ————— DESTRUCTIVE FIRE - SWEEPS CALUMPIT PRELIE R R ~ CONSERVATISM IN JAPAN.

Calhoun against the Trust Company of the Republic, George C. Calhoun, Lewis Nixon, James F. Livingston and other defendants, to recover about $500,000 claimed by Calhoun for selling in England ‘a guantity of bonds of the United States Shipbuilding Company. Calhoun alleged that he was x‘niz::zv‘v.l by the defendants to negotiate the sale of the bonds in England and he suc- ceeded in disposing of about three mil- lion dollars’ worth of bonds. His com- pensation at the rate of 5 per cent would have amounted, if he had been allowed to sell all, to about $300,000 the sum claimed by him. He asserts he was debarred from securing his commission. He asked for Nixon's ex- amination before trial in order to frame his complaint. Justice Levenwritt said he considered Calhoun had facts enough in his pos- session to frame his complaint. Notice was served to-day from counsel for Charles M.
