Meeting Is Believed to Foreshadow Important Events. TOKIO, Feb. 3.—A specially sum- conferenée of the Cabinet, statesmen and military and nce of Premier Katsura. meeting is believed to have been of such importance, though no details of the discussion have been made public. ! Possibly it foreshadows energetic ac- tion on account of Rusian proscratina- tion. Although the Government officials tinue reticent, it is manifest that ation is of the gravest and that a cri is near at hand: The time in which the Russian reply will continue to be a factor in the situation is nar- rowing. The patience of the Govern- ment is becoming exhausted and if the expected answer is delayed many days longer the issuance of an ultimatum by Japan will become inevitable. The Japanese feel that the existing condi- tions ve entitled them to a more prompt reply and are bound to infer that the St. Petersburg Government is - determined not to yield, but it utilizing the time to advance its preparations for war. —_———— OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY. Unofficial Advices Say That Russia’s Reply Means War. TOKIO, Feb. 3.—Eyents to-day indi- cate that the prolonged tension has reached a climax. The Marquis Ito, President of the Privy Council, was summoned from the country during the night and to- day the Emperor received him and a council of the elder statesmen was held with the War Minister and three admirals. The highest officials make no pre- tense of concealment of their exasper- ation at the tardiness of the Russian reply. An unofficial dispatch yesterday said the Russian decision means war.

TIENTSIN, Feb. 3.—In the event of | an outbreak of hostilities between Rus- | sia and Japan, the rallroad adminis- tration has arranged to bring the roll- ing stock of the extra-mural line inside | the great wall. Russia has ordered another 20,000 tons of Kaiping coal for delivery at Port | Arthur, making 70,000 tons in a week. ;l( is pointed out that if war breaks | out soon the coal will hardly reach its | [destination, as the stocks here are low ) and the steamers scarce. It is reported that the Russians are | building a railroad to connect Mukden | with Sinminting, thirty miles west of | Mukden, on the railroad running to fShanhaikWan and Tientsin, | g SHIPS OF THE FLEET. | Russia Has Powerful Vessels Hurry- ing to Port Arthur.

Lorenz in favor of August “W. Machen. In the opening statement of the defense Kumler, in behalf of Lorenz, sald he would prove the existence of an indebtedness of this amount on the part of Lorenz to Ma- chen. The note, he said to-day, was offered for this purpose and explained various remittances forwarded by Lorenz to Machen. A hundred or more | notes, gregating over $53,000, were ’ldentmgd‘ by President S. D. Carr of the National Bank of Commerce of To- ledo, as having been discounted by his bank on the indorsement of Lorenz and his brother and Machen, the loans hav- ing been made to enable them to de- velop their oil properties in Wood County, Ohio. Carr further testified that Machen had sold out his interest to Lorenz, the bank thereafter accept- ing the single indorsement of George E. Lorenz. Earlier in the day Diller B. Groff pro- duced various checks in favor of his brother as evidence that he had paid him all That was due as his share of the profits. Groff explained his failure to send remittances to Lorenz after November, 1902, by the fact that the Government still owed Groff Brothers $13,000 and that it was negessary to pay the manufactruers of the fasteners. J. H. McGill, a patent attorney, testified that the Miller device, which had been referred to in the course of the trial, was an infringement of the Groff fast- ener. ——————————— “THUMB” DISTRICT IS TIED UP BY SNOW More Than 100,000 People Are Snow- bound in Villages and Hamlets °* of Michigan. DETROIT, Feb. 3.—In the “Thumb” district of Michigan, that part of the State north from Port Huron to Sagi- naw Bay, comprising three counties, there are more than 100,000 people stormbound in the villages and ham- lets. Yesterday’s northwestern blizzard appears to have completely undone the previous work of the railroads in their attempt to open the “Thumb” district to traffic again. All the towns north from Port Huron to Port Austen and Harbor Beach report an alarmin shortage of coal, with little or no woox supply available.

Irish, who has been here some weeks prosecuting a claim as attorney for Cal- ifornia clients against the Government of Salvador, leaves to-morrow for San Francisco, having been successful ln: enlisting the State Department in be- ' half of his clients as against the recal- citrant Salvadorean Government. He considers this, of course, a virtual win- ning of the case, which involves a large amount of money. The case is now known as the El Triunfo award against Salvador and grew out of the robbing of certain American citizens in that' country some years ago. The original judgment against the Government amounted to $523,163, but was afterward compromised at $450,000, which Salvador under the seal of its Government, af- fixed in this city August 17, 1903, agreed to pay. It has failed to do so, however, | and the State Department to-day gave | notice that it must make immediate ' compliance with its agreement or the Government of the United States will require it to pay the full amount of the Jjudgment. ————— REDMOND OUTLINES COURSE OF IRISH PARTY Efs§ dod i : NOILVdILSNOD § Ircland’s Leader Says There Is No Such Thing as an Alternative to | Home Rule.

Redmond proceeded to detail the various grievances of Ire- land, incidentally informing the Liber- als that it was delusion to suppose they could count on Irish support by prom- ising an alternative policy to the home rulers. Because the Irish obtained an act last year remedying some of the evils of past governments some persons seemed to think that the Irish question was shelved, but no concession could weaken the bill for self-government. On the contrary, every concession they had obtained or might obtain would be used for the furtherance of the contest for 'home rule. The Irish would rather govern themselves badly than be gov- erned well by another nation.
