WHICH WILL BE OPENED TO THE WORLD'S TRADE BY THE TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED —_—— SEOUL, Korea, Jan anese Minister has made reiterated de- mands, hitherto without result, upon the Emperor of Korea that he recog- |nize a Japanese protectorate o | Korea, the Korean Governinent holding | itself to the Russo-Japanese agreement | concerning Korea. LONDON, Jan. ing correspondent, cabling under yes- | terday’'s date, says the Chinese Min- ister in Tokio, at the request of the Japanese Foreign Office, telegraphed the following communication to Prince Ching: \ “The second Russian reply ‘to the Japanese proposals has been received | at Tokio, but it is unfavorable and can- | not be accepted by Japan, which. will, | unless Russla recedes, be compelied %o | promptly resort to arms. “In view of such an eventuality Japan urges and expects China to maintain der throughout the empire, foreigners resident in the interior and to take especlal care to preserve order in the provinces of Shantung and Yu- | nan, lest foreign powers might seize the pretext of disorder and make ag- gressive movements therein.” The correspondent says that the dis- | patch has deeply impressed the Chi- | nese, who now believe war to be cer- tain. He adds that notes looking to the ratification of the treaty between China |and Japan were exchanged yesterday afternoon. RUSSIA GRANTS NO CHANGES. It 1s learned that the terms enunci- ated in the forecast of the Russian communication to the powers, cabled from Berlin to-day, and which gave the substance of Russia's proposals to Ja- pan regarding Manchuria and Korea, are practically identical with Russia's former reply, of which Japan asked a reconsideration. It is said that Rus- sia’s last reply, which Japan is now considering, differs in no essential from Russia’s previous proposals, the only difference being in the wording, to- gether with some minor corcessions concerning Korea, which, it is said, Ja- pan considers immaterial. The Daily Mail's Tokio correspondent cables that the Baron: de Rosen, the urday to Foreign Minister Komura's communication of Friday, and that yes- terday M. Arsenieff, second secretary of the Russian legation, left hurriedly for Nagasaki with important dispatches to be forwarded by a Russian warship to Viceroy Alexieff. " The Dalily Mail's Tokio correspondent says that the Naval Department denies that Japan contemplates the purchase of the Turkish cruiser Medjidieh.

The view taken in European capitals, based on‘the outlines of the Russian proposals published in Berlin and the incidents of the past few days, is that although Russia has not modified her demands she is displaying a more con- ciliatory tone and a willingness to ne- gotiate, which is attributed to Czar's personal influence on the side of peace. Reports from Tokio and Shanghai say that the Dowager Empress of China and her court have fér the pres- ent abandoned the idea of fleeing to Hsiansu on the advice of thg foreign Ministers. Dispatches from Seoul record further arrivals there of Russian marines, Rus- | sia’s intention being to have 300 ma- rines there, equal to the number of the Japanese garrison in Korea. The Daily Telegraph's Tokio corre- spondent says it is again reported that the Russian cruisers at Viadivostok will sall on January 14 for Port Arthur. The Russian Mediterranean fleet left Suda Bay yesterday, proceeding via Port Said for the Far East. BALFOUR'S SIGNIFICANT SPEECH Premier Balfour, speaking at Man- chester last night, declined to discuss the differences between Russia and Japan, on the ground that such discus- sion would do little service to the cause of peace. The Premier said: “No one can contemplate hostilities between two great civilized countries without feelings of misgivings and of depression.” Premier Balfour added that Great Britain would carry out to the fullest extent nll her treaty obligations. Premier Balfour’s guarded state- ment is commented on by this morn- ing's newspapers as an intimation of the intention of the Government to ac- cord full support to Japan in the event of circumstances arising which would call into action the Anglo-Japanese treaty. The Daily News, which represents a large rection of the Bfl‘ush public dis- liking that treaty, regzards Ralfour's speech as a “plain and unnecessary threat to Russia,” and declares that the treaty was made without consult- ing the British representatives in Ja- pan, who, since its adoptién, have re- peatedly warned the Government of the perils attaching to it. —_— TEXT OF RUSSIA'S CLAIMS.

ROME, Jan. 11.—Boris Sarafoff, the Macedonian revolutionary leader, whose arrival In Rome the press here erro- neously announced on the 3d inst., reached here last night. Omne of the chief objects of Sarafoff coming to Italy is to induce General Riccioti Gari baldi to lead an expedition having for its object the liberation of Macedonia from Turkish rule, similar to pedition which Garibaldl headed at the time of the Graeco-Turkish war. Sarafoff had interviews to-day with the leaders and supporters of the Mace- donian cause here. He sald he wished to inform the Italian Government that Macedonia was not satisfied with the Austro-Russian action and that a new revolution would break out next spring if all the powers who signed the treaty of Beriin did not intervene and cause the granting of autonomy to Macedo- nia. o In an interview to-day Sarafoff de- clared the revolutionists were ready for any step and prepared to go to any extremity. He said that one of the objects of his visit to Rome was to learn what support the Vatican au- thorities would and could give his fol- lowers in Macedonia. The orthodox Christians of the Greek church if Macedonia, he said, were even pre- pared to go to the length of leaving that church and Jjoining the Roman communion, which, he declared, the late Pope Leo most anxiously desired. Sarafoff is being closely watched by the Italian polies ——————— Canfield Case Dismissed. BINGHAMTON; N.
