AMERICAN ART WINS PRAISE King and Queen of Italy Visit Exhibition at Academy | and Are Very Enthusiastic S P ROME, Jan. 11. —The King and Queen to-dav visited the exhibition of the work of the students of the Ameri- | can Academy, and congratulated Di- | rector Mowbray on the progress made | by American art, which thus received | its first recognition and the highest ap- | preciation here. The “sovereigns at- tentively examined the exhibits. Director Mowbray gave an elaborate | dinner to-night at the Villa Aurora to celebrate the opening of the exhi- bition. Among the twenty-five guests were United States Embassador Meyer, Signor Monteverde, president of the | | Royal Academy of San Lucia; Count San Martino, president of the Italian committee to the St. Louis Exposition; | | | i United States Consul General de Castro; Professor Lancia, the arch- acologist; Franklin G. Simmons aqd Waldo Story, the sculptors, and signor‘ Apolloni, the painter. Director Mowbray was the - nrst speaker. He recalled the fact.that the academy owed its existance principally | to Architect McKim, who was a men\-’ ber of the Academy of San Lucia, and who had been the recipient . of the | King's medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects. “These are honors,” said Direetor | Mowbray, “but who can-say Mr. McKim would not consider it a greater honor to see this academy achieve high position and be a credit to the na- | tion?” “No truly great country has yet ex- isted without an art of its own,” saia Embassador Meyer. “As gome coun- tries have turned to Greece, it is only natural that the United States should endeavor to absdrb something from an older civilization. The most gracious recognition of King Victor Emmanuel i and the most cordial interest taken by |"Queen Helena to-day win do much to give this academy the position which] | we desire it to hold in the eyds of: the Italians and of the people of our own country. . “Thie is the first time that an Ameri- can art'stic institute has been opened by the head of a foreign state, To the founders of the academy this fact will be most gratifying and most reassur- ing. It will encourage their hopes that Grom the modest commencement they have made by their own unaidefl efforts this academy will grow In & manner worthy of our country and of { Italy, which offers it a home.” IZmbassador Meyer ended by i posing a toast to the-health or-‘m. Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena. ! Peabody to-day issued vrdm&or re- Guction of the military forces at, Crip- | nese trade privileges. that the utterances of the press have been optimistically colored in order to conceal this official disquiet. The correspondent goes on to say that the Czar takes the keenest inter- est in bringing order into the compli- cated situation and that he insists that an unvarnished report shall be made public. Recently Count Lamsdorff, the For- eign Minister; General Kuropatkin, Minister of War, and M. A. Vasa, chairman of the committee on- East Asiatic affairs, assembled in the pal- ace of Zarskojesselo to draw up a communication, which will soon be ‘published in the Government Messen- ger. This communication will give a complete story of the negotiations with Japan, including the latest de- velopments. The cbrrespondent says: ““The Czar wishes, as he told Count Lamsdorff, that the whole truth be given to the public. He is personally against war and refuses to believe that it will come. He hopes to convince Japan that Russia’'s wishes are rea- sonable and must be respected. The communication chiefly embraces five Jpoints: “First—Japan will get various con- cessions in Korea. “S8second—In South Korea the Jap- anese can‘act not only in their eco- nomic interests, but they can adopt strategic action corresponding with these interest: “Third—Russia allows Japan full commercial freedom of action in North Korea, But Japan must not per- manently occupy fortified towns either to the north or to the south, neither on’ the coast nor in the interior. “Fourth—A neutral zone fifty kilo- meters broad is to be created between Korea and Manchuria, along the Yalu and Tumen rivers, in which neither Russia nor Japan can establish forti- fied positions; also that the strait be- tween Japan and Korea shall be neu- tral, thus giving free ingress and egress to Russian vessels. “Fifth—In reference to Manchuria, Russia accepts no conditions, but de- clares that she is ready to permit Japan and other powers fo represent their interests, eMmbracing the ‘open door’ for Moukden and Newchwang. “The Czar personally edited and corrected these points of the commun- ication.” The Lokal Anzeiger's correspond- ent adds that Admiral Alexieff, the | Russian Viceroy in the Far East, has | of late been sending two or three comprehensive dispatches daily to the Government, in which he takes a gloomy view of future developments. The war idea is unpopular in Rus- sia, but it is feared that some un- toward incident may occur any day which will make it inevitable for Russia to become fully convinced of Japan's warlike intentions. £ RUSSIA'S PLEDGE TO NATIONS. Will Respect Terins of Commercial Treaties Made With China. BERLIN. Jan. 11.—The Russian Gov- ernment has informed the powers that | it will respect fully the right any na- ticn has in. Manchuria under treaty | with China. This declaration is made without reservation. Russia gives formal expression to this policy now in consequence of the controversy with Japan, one of wiose persistent contentions has been for a definition of Russia’s policy in Manchu- ria and an acknowledgment of Japa- Russia's reply has been in substance as follows: “We cannot discuss -Manchuria with you any more than we could Australia or the Philippines. Manchuria belongs neither to us nor to you. It does not lie within the jurisdiction of either of us | to' dispose of the future of Manchuria.” Russia, however, is willing to observe the. treaty rights of all the powers In Manchuria, and now engages to do so. Russia, it is added, thus removes from the negodtiations one of the points upon which Japan counted for the moral support of other powers and whereon she eapeclany had the sympathy of the United States and Great Britain. The terms of Russia's last note to Japan afe not known officially here, but it is understood to have produced a quicting effect upon the . Japanese statesmen. Japan’s reply, it Is assert- ed, will be in a similar tone. “Japan has Informed Germany that no troops have been landed in Korea and that Japan has no intention at present of landing troops. The statement published in London on high authority that Germany and | the triple alliance will remain neutral in the event of war between Russia and Japan is confirmed here. * A’ commission composed of six Japa- nese officers, according to a speclal dis- patch from Meppen, Hanover, is testing six-inch howitzers on the Krupp Com- pany grounds there. Some of these howitzers, it is added, have been bought by Japan for immediate deliv- ery. s AR SUPPORT RUSSIA’S CLAIMS, French Government Officials Declare Japan to Be in the Wrong. PARIS, Jan. 11.—A strong current of official sentiment was set in motion to-day favorable .to strengthening the bhands of Russia in her claims to ex- ercise paramount- influence in Man- churia. It is pointed out that, Russia having conceded Japan's paramount influence in Korea, Japan appears to be unwilling to make a reciprocal cession by recognizing Russia's para- mount influence in Manchuria. There is_reason to believe that the late Rus- siap_note makes clear Russia’s atti- de and intentions concerning Man- c)uuia and how far she is disposed to ;&mm Japan's ambitions in Man- ‘chiria. The general purport of the Russian position is that Japanese merchants and individuals shall have the right of free access to Manchuria for purpose of travel and commerce, but that Russia does not wish this to or { he to the colonization of Japanese in large communities in Ple Creek and Telluride xc:, 1;'0‘ men each during this week, nnle- fresh troubles arise, " . Manchuria. Strong sympathy is ex- pressed here in behalf ‘of the Russian view, as it is said that the general ad- ml.lon d Jm colonization in Y Manchuria would create questions of political and racial domination. It is asserted to be in the interest of the commerce of Europe and America that Russia should replace China’s authority within Manchuria. It is also pointed out that Japan re- cently restricted the operations of American insurance companies, and this is cited as evidence that Russian control of Manchuria is likely to prove as liberal to American and Bu- ropean commerce as Japan's. There- fore it is maintained in governmental quarters that it is to the general in- terest of Eurone and America to give moral support to a settlement of the pending conflict ‘on the basis of Japan's authority in Korea and Rus- sia’s authority in Manchuria. Those who_are in the best position to know Russia’s intentions say her determi- nation to exercise her sphere of in- fluence in Manchuria is irreconcilable. Owing to Russia’s latest attitude in Manchuria it is the view of official circles here that the main issue of the negotiations now centers in Man- churia instead of Korea. A special dispatch to the Patrie from Harbin, a town on the Manchu- rian Railroad, describes the Russian war preparations. The Russian of- ficers declare war is inevitable, but add that they are ready. Port Arthur, Jt is further asserted, will be occupied by 100,000 men, and in ten days re- inforcements of ‘100,000 can reach Manchuria. X bt JAPAN ACQUIRES TRANSPORTS. Requisitions Thirty Merchant Vessels for Service as Troopships. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The State Department has been informed that Japan' has requisitioned thirty mer- chant vessels for transports. Advices received here show that the Russians are increasind the guard at Seoul daily and that the French have made arrangements to establish a guard there. A cablégram to-day from Rear Ad- miral Evans, commanding the Asiatic fleet, announced the arrival of the battleships Iowa, Oregon and Wiscon- sin at Guam, on the way to Subig Bay. It was understood that the cruiser squadron, consisting of the New Or- leans, Albany, Cincinnati and Raleigh, would arrive at Guam te-day or to- morrow. The cruisers left Honolulu in company with the battleships, but, unlike the latter, stopped en route at the Midway Islands. Rear Admiral Evans will remain at Guam until the cruiser squadron ar- rives, and it is expected that he will be fully advised by cable of the policy of the United States Government in the event of war between Russia and Japan, in order that he may dispose of the vessels of his fleet in accord- ance with that policy. Only that portion of the Chinese treaty which relates to the opening of the ports of Moukden and Antung and provides in general terms for pr&vileges of American shipping will become effective upon the exchange of ratifications of the treaty, which will take place within six weeks. There is a possibilizy that the Chinese Governmhent will authorize its Minis- ter here; Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, by cable to effect an earlier exchange, but Minister Conger has not made this request. The other features of the treaty abolishing the likin taxes and increas- ing the average customs dues on goods coming from the United States into China will not become effective until similar treaties containing simi- lar provigions have been concluded between China and the other powers signatory’ to the treaty of Peking. Be- sides the United States, England and Japan have so far negotiated such treatigs, leaving Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Belgium to effect like arrangements before the new du- ties go into effect. PREPARING JAPAN'S REPLY. Cabinet and Elder Statesmen Discuss Final Note to Russia. TOKIO, Jan. 11.—The Cabinet and the elder statesmen met for a Jjoint conference at the official residence of Premier Katsura this afternoon. The Premier, who is ill, was not present. They discussed the political and strat- egical situation and will report to the throne to-morrow. The note delivered by Foreign Min- ister Komura on Saturday to Baron-de Rosen, the Russian Minister, was mere- ly preliminary to Japan's formal re- sponse, which has not yet been de- liyered. The questions at issue were dis- cussed at to-day's conference of the Cabinet and elder statesmen. and a ‘final decision is expected to-morrow. ‘When this has been reached the con- ferees will appear before the throne and submit the answer agreed upon. Then the final propesals of Japan will be handed to Baron de Rosen. China's decision to observe strict neutrality in the event of war between Russia and Japan was taken partly on the advice of Japan. The latter points out that the war could thus be localized, he disturbance of trade minimized and that the danger of internal disorders in China, as well as needless complications of China’s finances, would be avoided. e RUSSIAN PUBLIC APATHETIC. Populace Takes No Interest in the Far Eastern Situation. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 11.—It is semi-officially announced, In reference to the reports that Russia is compet- ing with Japan for the purchase of war and other ships, that the Marine Min- ister has no intention of buying any foreign shivs and has not entered into negotiations with anybody with that object in view. ~ Patriotic newspapers have been try- ing to bring the public to a realization of the Importance of the issues involved in the Russo-Japanese dispute, but hitherto wholly unsuccessfully. The press is forced to admit that the gen- ‘eral public not only does not interest itself the slightest in Manchuria, but thnt it positively detests the entire un- king and ardently desires the rail- oad 10 be disposed of if possible. : M. Bunvorln, publisher of the Novoe Vremya, who fofmerly advacated a re- turn to the neglected tasks in the near and middle East, undertakes, in a signed article, to prove that the dis- tance of Marchuria does not argue d‘lhn the possibility of holding and developing it, instancing the distant possessions Maflfl‘nm ‘What suc- f | cess will atténd his campaign of edu- .cation remains to be seen. It is ac- knowledged. however, that 99 per cent | of the public believe that circumstances have led Russia too far afield. Another method of arousing public sentiment has been employed by some newspapers, notably in the Far East. They have begun calling the Japanese | “the Jews of the Orient.” Moreover, the whole press in Vladivostok and Manchuria is daily emphasizing the ex- istence of the “vellow danger.” But this seems designed to cause Europe to pause and reflect, rather than to inflame the racial feelings of the Rus- sians. It is pointed out here that the sta- bility of the Russian state loans throughout the crisis cannot be ac- cepted as a trustworthy index of the feeling ‘of the business world, since it fs well known ‘that the Government regularly operates on the Bourse to prevent fluctuations of its loans. stoci:s have fallen considerably. oot B AR MOSCOW PRESS PESSIMITIC. Says Russia Has Everything to Lose and Nothing to Gain by War. MOSCOW, Jan. ing the rumors of movements on the part of the Russian and Japanese armies and nayies, war is not con- sidered likely here. Vedomosti, which reflects the opinion | of influential merchants and the edu- cated middle class, says: “It is more important for Russia to | foster internal development and hus- | band her resources for a weightier purpose than to seek the acquisition of a yellow Rus¢ia, involving enormous | expenditures and profiting only adven- turers.” The paper ridicules the reports of the depreciation of Japanese strength, and says: , “She has five millions of men nearer the scene than Russia’s one million. Japan is béttér armed and equipped and has powerful backers. Russia cannot profit by a victory and the re- sults of her defeat would be appalling the country.” The Moskowskija, Vemosti says it is announced that Russia has acquired | the rights for the Helland submarine torpedo-boats, and adds that it con- siders “this will render the building of costly battleships unnecessary.” Pl 0 RUMOR ALARMS TOKIO CABINET. Hears That Russia Intends to Send Fleet Through the Dardanelles. LONDON, Jan. Government is alarmed at the report that the Russian Black Sea fleet in-| tends to pass through the Dardanelles. At the request of the Tokio authorities Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister to Great Britain, has made Inquiries on the subject here, but the British Foreign Office has not heard that Rus- sia has asked Turkey's permission and is not inclined .to believe Russia will raise such a question in Europe at the present time, not only on account of the Far Eastern crisis, but because of the unsettled state of the Balkans. It was said at the Foreign Office to- | day that a circular somewhat similar to the synopsis of the Russian position in regard to Manchuria cabled to the press from Berlin to-day has been re- ceived. here. Commenting on it the Foreign Office says that as no power has acquired any interest in Manchuria except under treaty with China it fails to see the force of Russia's circular. —e- Hopeful Feeling in Vienna. VIENNA, Jan. feeling prevails here regarding the sit- uation in the Far East. with the United States.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 11.—The Han- delsblad this afternoon printed a dis- patch from Rotterdam saying that the underwriters to-day announced on the Bourse that they had canceled all con- tracts covering molestation risks in the case of cargoes of all vessels to | and from Japanese, Chinese or Rus- sian ports in the Far East. St S Chino-Japanese Treaties Ratified. LONDON, Jan. 12.—The Times’ Pe- king correspondent says that a rati- fication of the treaties between China and Japan has been exchanged. LS S A Russian Torpedo-Boats Moving. SYRACUSE, Syria, Jan. 11.—Two Russian torpedo-boats have arrived here. —— e SON OF H. HUNTINGTON MADE GENERAL LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11.—Howard E. Huntington, son-of Henry E. Hun- tington, was to-day appointed general manager of the Los Angeles Railway Company, vice J. A. Muir, deceased. A circular announcing the appoint- ment was sent out by President H. E. Huntington to-day and caused con- siderable surprise among local rail- road men. Howard BE.

RELIABLE 13 ragers 1238- 1250 MARKET ST. 4% RAILROAD MAY CLAIM GOODS ,Imted States bupreme Court Decides That Artieles May Be Withheld for Tariff A2 2R WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—In an opin- fon by Justice Brewer the Supreme Court of the United States to-day de- cided the case of the Wabash Railroad Ccmpany vs. Willlam™ N. Pearse, the question as to whether a common carrier retains a lien upon imported | goods shipped in bond to a given point and upon which tariff charges have been paid by the company in transit. The goods involved in this case con- sisted of four boxes of curios, purchased in Japan by Charles E. Pearse, and shipped via the Canadian Pacific Rail- | way Company’s steamers to Vancouver, B. C., and thence over the Canadian Pacific and connecting lines to St. Paul, Minn., where the railway company was required to and did pay the tariff charges, amounting to $264. The goods were transferred to the Wabash Com- pany and by it delivered at St. Louis, Mo. Pearse resisted the claim of the railroad company to hold the goods | until the money paid on account of the tariff should be refunded and the St. Louis Céurt of Appeals sustained this view. That decision was, however, re- versed by to-day's opinion, in which it was held “that it is common law duty | of the carrier to receive, carry and de- | | liver goods and by virtue of this obli- gation itds entitled to retain possession until its charges are paid. Nor is this | lien confined to its charges for trans- portation.” —_—— SHIP OWNERS GRANTED WRIT. | Case of Hackfeld & Co. May Be Tried Before United States Court.

There was no de- by a show of hands. The treaty ineludes all the provisions of the Platt amendment verbatim. This was the proposition the Cuban Government made, because of the de- sire to eventually éliminate the amend- ment from the constitution, and so re- move the cause of the constant criti- cism of the makers of the constitution for accepting such an amendment from the United States. The standpoint is regarded as immaterial whether the requirements and restrictiops of the Platt amendment be continuéd in the form 3f a constitution or in the form of a treaty. The treaty was signed on May 20, 1903, but was not ratified with the other treaties between the United States and Cuba at the close of the last session of Congress. The Committee on Foreign Relations held up the treaty until to- day and then reported it by order of the Senate. The report of the conimit- tee recommended the adoption of the treaty, urging that it would not change | the political status or the relations be- | tweem Cuba and the United States in any manner. ‘The Senate passed the amendment to the tariff commission bill and then heid open until late to-night, awaiting the action of the House om the bill, and also decided as to whether an adjourn- ment would be finally taken to-night. The House, after a long discussion of the tariff question, during which many | amendments to the Senate bill were offered, took a recess until to-morrow. The prevailing opinion among the representatives remaining in Havana appears to be that Congress ought not to go further than giving President Palma authorization to temporarily ine crease all the duties by 25 per cent. The advocates of the lottery bill have not fisked the attempt to pass the bilt over the veto of President Palma on account of the small attendance. —_————— Grave Fears for the Czarina, LONDON, Jan. 12.—The St. Peters- burg correspondent of the Daily Mall says that the Czarina is again ill and that her temperature is high.
