Our storehouses are filled to overflowing with splendid new merchandise bought with the expectation of occupying our new annex on Sixth Street ere this. See what this building delay means! The above figures show the actual amount of selling and storage space lost to us this -season that was counted on when the Autumn goods were bought. Merchandise ordered in good faith from manufacturers will be re ceived countermands now would be unfair and unworthy of such a house as ours. There are future seasons' ahead we must bear in mind. We must keep our reputation fair in market as well as home so we receive the goods, arrange for short term-storage and apply the force of sharply reduced prices to move them out quickly from our overtaxed storehouses and salesrooms. It means MORE BUSINESS at LESS PROFIT to us MORE BARGAINS with LESS TO PAY FOR YOU! How do you like it? SHOES TODAY To Lay in Good Fall and Winter Footwear at Uncommonly Low Prices A Grand Opportunity It comes at the right time.

All reports ema nating from Shanghai of the opening of hostilities between Japan and Russia, etc., may be dismissed as absurd. Russo-Japanese affairs, are marking time. The second secretary of the Russian Legation left Toklo October 12 with secret dispatches for the Russian Viceroy of the Far East, Admiral Alexleff. An important conference of voteran Jap anese statesmen, including the Marquis Ito, was held at the Premier's office today. RUSSIA BLAMES POWERS. China, Japan and Britain Held to Have Caused the Preient Dispute ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 13. The For eign Office says it has no official confirma tion 4 of the reported disembarkation of Japanese troops at Masampho. Regarding Manchuria, the Foreign Office states the question is at present closed. The exist ing situation Is the fault of the Chinese, Japanese and British. If China desired to reopen the negotiations and accept cer tain conditions, the situation could still be changed, as Russia is not rooted to the soil, and could leave If she liked. Russia Is now transporting 50,000 troops, nurses and hospital supplies to the Far East The -present strength of the Rus sian Army there is reliably reported to be 1 2S3.000 men. Officers detailed for duty In the Orient have been forbidden- to take their wives. MINISTER HOLDS ALARM TJXDUE. Japanese Official nt Loudon Receives Reassuring Advice. LONDON, Oct 13. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister here, has received reas suring news from Japan with reference to 'the situation In the Far East He says his telegram Indicates there Is no need what ever for alarm, and adds the message was not a "reply to anything he had cabled, so he thinks It was probably sent because of the alarmist rumors which have been In circulation In Europe, and which finally reached Japan. A dispatch from Rome says 45 Japanese officials who have been studying at ihe military academies of Modena and Racco glnl have been called to Japan by tele graph, and Immediately started for Brin dlsl to embark for Japan. The meeting of British Admirals at Singapore has no connection with any spe cial tension at present existing In tho Orient The meeting was announced as far back as August 25, for the purpose of enabling the commanders of the East In dian, China and Australian stations to confer with reference to a general scheme whereby the three squadrons can be fused in the event of necessity. Instead of each being confined, as heretofore, to the sphere definitely assigned to Its jurisdiction. It has beep arranged that a similar confer ence shall bo held annually. JAPAX TVAXTS OXLY COREA. If Russia Given Her a Free Hand, She Can Hnvo Manchuria. VANCOUVER, B. C. Oct 13. "Japan does not want war, but unless Russia makes considerable concessions will not hesitate to resort to arms. "It is willing to allow Russia Manchu ria in exchange for a free hand in Corea. "There is a secret treaty between -China and Russia, under which the latter Is al lowed to hold Manchuria for 15 years. "The Anglo-Japanese alliance has ceased to exist for all practical purposes. "An agreement Is on the tapis between Britain and Russia. "Britain counsels moderation and de sires to prevent war at any cost "Japan has shown Its teeth by two sets of military maneuvers almost simulta neously, an unprecedented occurrence." The foregoing are the chief points "in a remarkable letter received by the last Japan steamer from a well-informed cor respondent at Osaka. The correspondent goes minutely Into Japan's attempt to pave a path to peace, and says the chief trouble Is that Japan asks as much as If It had totally defeated Russia In war. Seml-officially the Mikado's ' government has made known to the people that war will result if "Russia Is determined to set at naught her treaty obligations with China and at the same time to harass Japan In Corea." The Nichl Nlchl, evl- ! dently under official Inspiration, an nounced that In tnat case "Russia must be prepared to be held responsible for tho gravest consequences."

Speech Justice Alverstone Re plies to Critics. LONDON. Oct 13. With what Secre tary Root described as "all tho cere monies and regalia which from child hood have" been more a fairyland than a real land to all Americans," the members, counsel and attaches of the Alaskan boundary tribunal were entertained by the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Marcus Samuel, at a banquet at the Mansion House tonight Almost all those associ ated with the case now In tho balance, from Lord Chief Justice Alverstone down, wore present though Attorney FInlay and Sir Edward Carson were notable ab sentees. The Lord Mayor proposed tho health of President Roosevelt while the band played "Tho -Star-Spangled Banner." Then his lordship proposed the toast of "The Alas kan Boundary Tribunal," with which he coupled the names of Lord Alverstone, Secretary Root and Sir Louis Jette. He declared the present method of the sub mission to a tribunal of a dangerous dis pute between two great nations would bo a lasting lesson of peace to tho world. Will Be Loyally Accepted. "We may say," Bald tho Lord Mayor, "that the verdict will be loyally accepted and acted upon and what might lead to serious trouble will be averted." Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, In re plying, after having feelingly referred to tho death of Sir Michael Herbert, said that, though the tribunal was not an il lustration of arbitration. It wag "an-honest and patriotic attempt to sqlve, by mutual discussion, subjects which might become serious. I have no fault to find with all that has been said and done.

This open reference to Canadian criti cism of Lord Alverstone's supposed pre disposition toward the American case In duced no little sensation. It was followed by Lord Alverstone somewhat passion ately declaring- that In a long public ca reer he had never objected to criticism after he had taken a certain course of action, but he did bitterly resent criti cism beforehand. Root Make Brilliant Speech. Secretary Root followed with a brilliant speech. Amid Intense silence, he depicted Sir Michael Herbert's "sweet reasonable ness" and the loss sustained by both na tions by the Ambassador's death. "His friendship with many public men in the United States and his wide experi ence," said Mr. Hoot, "these and many other qualities made him competent to ex ercise great usefulness in cementing tho friendship between two nations on whom clvilizatfon aria the hopes of all mankind depend." Some thought, continued Mr. Root, that the Americans and Canadians came to London because Alaska was. a wonder land of claimants, but the greatest object lesson of the whole proceedings was that the United States had such trust in Great Britain that she was willing to meet and discuss a question vital to her, not In a neutral capital, but in a capital belonging to one party to the controversy. Nothing, he said, could more emphasize "the ab solute confidence of all parties In the good faith, generous hospitality and fair play of the English people. The admirably graceful, tactful and correct way In which the British Government has fulfilled that trust has made us feel at home in tho trust we have reposed in you." Fiscal Inane Makes More nt Home. In a humorous vein, Mr. Root said that they felt even more at home as doubtless the fiscal controversy had been specially raised at thi3 time for the benefit of the American members or the tribunal. Then analyzing the arguments of both political parties in England, he added amid shouts of laughter, "nothing could be more de lightful to us than to find our country simultaneously upheld as the best exam ple of Internal free trade and of too suc cessful protection." Reverting to the- tribunal, the speaker said It was the best testimony to the good sense and excellent Judgment of the Anglo-Saxon race. "I am sure," he continued, "that the utmost open-mlndedness prevails with a strong desire that a Just and fair con clusion shall be reached." Secretary Root concluded with a glowing Never give, up!

Sir Louis Jette re-echoed the sentiments expressed by Mr. Root on behalf of Can ada, and Senator Lodge wittily proposed the health of the counsel engaged on both sides of the case, declaring the rapidity of the proceedings was a lesson to all nations who avoided such a pacific method of settlement on the ground of prolonged procedure. Messrs. Dickinson and Robinson re sponded on behalf of America and Can ada, respectively, and Ambassador Choate proposed the health of the Lord Mayor and Lady Samuel. Sarsaparilla. J.

The Alaska Boun dary Commission held another secret ses sion this morning and adjourned for luncheon at 10:30 A. M. Nothing of a public nature -developed except that when Lord Chief Justice Alverstone came out of the conference room he asked Secre tary Towr to ascertain whether the origi nal treaty was signed both In French and. English. No explanation was given of tho reason for this question. The tribunal adjourned until tomorrow without reaching a decision. Lord Alverstone has telegraphed to Premier Laurler a formal denial of a newspaper story mentioned In the Domin ion Parliament yesterday, to the effect that ha (Lord Alverstone) had said the United States had the stronger case in the Alaska boundary question. The Lord Chief Justice says the report is a "com plete fabrication." Nothing was given out regarding the de liberations. Mr. Aylesworth. the Canadian Commis sioner, in regard to the question in the Dominion Parliament yesterday, on the subject of an Interview with him, today made the following statement to the As sociated Press: "Being asked a few days ago whether there was any likelihood that the decision of the tribunal would be enforced by dip lomatic considerations. Mr. Aylesworth replied, speaking for himself, that he cer tainly would never consent to give away a single Inch of territory he bolleved to be British." Japniiene Dlplonmt Han Xo Fears.
