p THE MORNING 'OREGON! AN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1903. v Japan Will Not Force Manchurian Issue. GOREAN TREATY SUPREME Evacuation on the Date Set Is Now Impossible. PEOPLE ARE MUCH IKB1TATED ailkado Will Assure the Czar That the Ji'eprotiatlon Cannot Be. De layed Indefinitely, hut Danger of - Crisis 1m Very It emote IjONDON, Oct. 5. No apprehension exists in tho minds of the British govern ment or the diplomatists in London that the lax Eastern situation will bring forth any Immediate serious developments. This feeling of temporary security on the eve of the day that Bussla should, but admittedly, will not evacuate Manchuria, is due to assurance on the part of Japan that as long as the negotiations now pro ceeding between herself and Russia pre sent a reasonable prospect that a settle ment will be reached, Japan will take no action hostile to Russia in tho matter or Manchuria. It is further learned that these nesro tiations, looking to a final settlement of the Russo-Japanese spheres of Influence In the far East and especially dealing with the situation in Corea, are progress ing satisfactorily at Tokio. No treaty, however, has yet been signed and it Is unlikely that the negotiations -will be concluded by October S, the date on which Russia was to evacuate Man churla. Russlas failure to evacuate Manchuria on that day, however, will not precipitate a diplomatic crisis, , as Japan, rather than "break off tho negotiations covering broadly all the issues between herself and Russia, Is willing to strain a point regarding Manchuria in the hope of arriving at a satisfactory settlement. In all of this, the British government acquiesces. Such features of immediate danger as the far Eastern situation present appear to be confined solely to the popular agi tation in Janan aralnst Russia after Or tober S. This, however, is being taken Into consideration by the Japanese gov ernment, whose diplomats have warned Russ.a that, while the Japanese govern ment will not allow Its hand to be forced to the extent of entering into hostilities over the Manchurian evacuation question, it cannot Indefinitely prolong the present n?gotlatlons at Tokio in face of tho ex pcted popular clamor. From the Japanese Embassy In Lon don, the Associated Press has secured t-ie following statement of the prevailing conditions: "We are forced to believe that it is physically impossible for Russia to fulfill her promise to evacuate Manchu rla by October S, but we do not anticipate a crisis on that account. It would be a case of making the lessor include the greater were we to break the negotla tions now in progress at Tokio because of Russia's failure to keep her promise on the exact date. As far as known here, r.o naval or military preparations have been undertaken by Japan to meet any oxpected emergency- "We have hopes that a final settlement may he reached between Russia and our selves that will settle once for all .our outstandlntr dtsnutes. "The negotiations -for a treaty for that end have now heen transferred to Tokio, where the Russian Minister, who is said to be a pacific and broad-minded diplo mat, is carrying on affairs with our For eign Minister. How long it will be before an understanding" can be reached it is impossible to say. In spite of the natur ally irritated feelings of our people, we frankly recognize tho gravity to Russia of these questions and we have no wish to demand a peremptory settlement. Still wo cannot go on forever and though we realize that it is scarcely likely .that the treaty -can be signed by October 8, wo nave clearly indicated that after that date haste becomes more and more essen tial. In Japan's view point, the commercial 3?oInt of the whole situation Is Corea. I Russia knows that we will fight to tho death, rather than let any foreign power occupy Corea. NOT AX UXFRIEXdY ACT. ; Russia. Can Find o Fault, So Far, With Japan for Mohllllsengr. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 5. The Rus sian Government has madejt known that !

September 25 he suddenly flung down his ehovel, after complaining of the heat, and, leaving the stokehole, rushed up to the main deck. Here he drew a big clasp knife and began to run amuck among the terrified steerage passengers, calling out that he wanted rum and would kill any -one who refused to let him have it A petty officer, calling to a couplo of sailors to help, started to catch the In furiated maniac, but Greening was as quick as a cat The delirium seemed to lend him an extraordinary agility.

PART FUR BULGARIA Must Aid in Pacification of the Balkans. RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA SPEAK r Turkish Invasion Looked Upon as the Consecxucncc of Noncompli ance The Situation Again Appears Grave. SOFIA, Oct. 5. An Identical copy of the Austro-Russian note to Turkey has been presented to Premier Petroff and the Aus trian and Russian representatives re ceived Instructions at the same time to make serious representations to the Bul garian government to the effect that the powers expect- Bulgaria to take such ac tion as will prove that she is making a loyal endeavor to assist In the work of pa cification. Falling this, Bulgaria is warned that she will be exposed to the most cruel disaster. This letter of warning is held to mean Turkish invasion of Bulgaria, and a repetition of the Macedonia atrocities in Bulgaria Itself. The foregoing, combined with the continued reports of small fron tier conflicts, has renewed the war ru mors and induced the feeling that the sit uation is precarious. EXPECT NO GOOD FROM NOTE. Will Prefer War, If It Is Stringent Enoush to Secure Reforms. SOFIA, Oct 5. The Austro-Russian note to the Porte, published yesterday, has been received somewhat skeptically In of ficial circles here, and among the Mace donian organizations with utter disbelief that any good can come from it. One point on which all parties are agreed Is that action Is the only satisfactory pledge of reform that the Ottoman government can give. The Bulgarian government is anxious to sec the promised details of the new measures, but it Is argued If they are too stringent Turkey may prefer war to accepting them, while If they are not stringent enough they will certainly be useless. Dr. Tartacheff, the president of the Macedonian committee, says he doe3 not regard the new note more seriously than the former ones. He declares any system of European control is useless un less it has the power to enforce the re forms, entirely independent of the Porte. According to a dispatch from the Rlla Monastery, a. large party of fugitives from Razlog and Godlevo, while crossing the frontier Sunday morning, were continually fired upon by the post at Alguedik. The Turks followed the fugitives into Vffl Austen Chamberlain, new Chancel lor of British Exchequer. Bulgarian territory and killed two of them. The frontier authorities on the Phlllppopollfl frontier announce that the Turkish authorities have retired from their posts to a distance of several kilo meters inward. This step is regarded as a ruse to allow the crossing of the bands in order to throw the responsibility for subsequent occurrences in Macedonia on Bulgaria. It is stated that the Catholic archbishop of Phlllppopolls has sent the pope a long account of the situation in the vilayet of Adrlanoplc and has begged his holiness to Intercede to prevent the con tinuance of the massacres and atrocities. The refugees at the Rlla Monaster are now said to total 5000. ALL FAVOR BALICAN PLAN. Powers Approve the Russian-Austrian Scheme for Reforms. PARIS, Oct 5.
