PLANS FOR CAMPAIGN MADE Russia'n Cruiser Off for Far East. LD3AU, Russia, Dec 3L The Russian second-class cruiser Almaz has sailed for the Far East. Thoroughness Is Pronounced Superior to That of Germany Prior, to .the Franco-Prussian Struggle- Corea to Be First- Fired. TOKIO. Jan. t The situation Is growing extremely critical, and It is be lieved that the chances for war are great er than ever before. Peace hinges on the character of Russia's response. If the Russian reply is unsatisfactory, it is al most certain that Japan will fight lm mediately. If Russia desires peace, her position will be difficult to maintain for the Japanese are distrustful of her promises. If Russia's response is delayed for a week,"Jt is expected that Japan will de mand an Immediate answer. The an nouncement, that Russia is seeking naval stations" in Corea, buying stores in Amer ica and .buying coal" In. Japan has in creased the war spirit of the Japanese nation. Influential newspapers are urging the government: to promptly dispatch a fleet to guard the Corean Coast and patrol the . Corean Channel. The Ministers of War and Navy, their general advisory staffs and commanders, are conferring dally.' "Full plans for the campaign of tho armv and naw have beeif Drenared. and' the scheme of land and water trans portation completed. The thoroughness of Japan's prepara tions: is pronounced superior to that of Germany prior to the Franco-Prussian War. .' It Is anticipated "that Corea will be the scene of the earliest large opera tlons: The invasion of Chinese territory other than by Corea across the Talu River, It is thought, -will depend on the nature and. extent of the Chinese efforts to expel the Russians from Manchuria. Saseho will be the principal base 6f the navy and the main point for the embarka tion of troops. It has not yet been als closed what place will be the principal army base nor whether the Emperor and his war councillors will go to. direct opera tions.

A., retired, who stopped here today en route East, said in an Interview: "If war is declared between Russia and Japan it probably will Involve all the na tions of Europe." Asked if he meant that all the nations In Europe would come to the aid of either Russia or Japan, he said: . "Yes, they would become Involved In that way." He declined to say whether he thought this country would become Involved or not. General Miles stated that he had been In both Russia and Japan in the past few years, and is familiar with the armies of both countries. "Both are In fine and effective condition for war," he said, "but I will not say what I think of their relative strength and condition. The war will -be decidedly military, as well as naval, and. In my opinion, there will be battles on land of considerable magnitude." BRITAIN'S REVENUES DECREASE TStal for Nine Months of the Fiscal Year Reaches 513,497,040. LONDON, Dec 31.

CHINA ACTING HOSTILE. Officer In Close Touch With Viceroy Says Situation Is Critical. PARIS, Jan. 1. The Chee Foo corre spondent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald says that Colonel Artlmeff, who is In close touch with Admiral Alex ioff. Russian Viceroy in the Far East, de Glares the situation is most critical. The Japanese, he says, apparently want war. and the Chinese, especially Yuan Shi Kal, commander-in-chief of the Chinese army and navy, are assuming a hostile attl tude. Disturbances In Manchuria are due, he says, to the almost open support the Chi neso government Is giving the bandits, RUSSIA'S MrND NOT MADE UP. Nothing Has Been Decided Regard Ing Reply to Japan: ST. PETERSBURG. Dec 3L The For eign Office declares nothing has yet been decided regarding Russia's reply to Japan. M. Kurino, the Japanese Minister here, has been conferring actively with Foreign Minister LamsdorfT, notwithstanding the fact that the Japanese ofllclal is suffering severely from a cold and from lumbago, Insurance Rates Are Higher. LONDON, Jan. L War Insurance rates at Lloyd's yesterday were higher, al though the situation in the Far East, so far as known, is unchanged. The warships which Japan purchased from Argentina have been rechrlstened as the Kasa and Nlsln. They will be com pletcd and handed over to Japan at the end of January, and the fact that a dec laration of war before that time would render them useless. It is thought, will likely reconcile Japan to a further delay. Britain Getting Cruisers Ready. LONDON. Dec 3L The British third class cruisers Intrepid and Latonia hav been docked at Portsmouth in preparation for foreign sen-ice. It is understood that they will proceed to China. It la asserted In Dublin that a number of naval reserve men of that district have been instructed ANARCHISTS ARE NOT FEARED Chief O'Neil Says They Cannot Tam per With Shells for Navy. WASHINGTON, Dec 3L Admiral O'Neil. Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, has had his attention called to a dispatch from Philadelphia giving the details of an alleged plot of anarchists to blow up the big guns of the warships of the American Navy by tampering with projectiles turned out by the Mldvale Steel Works, at Nice- town. The plot Is said to have been dis covered by the explosion of a projectile in the company's works which Injured sev eral of the workmen, and which It was found had been loaded by a high explosive. The story is denied by Admiral O'Neil In the most emphatic manner. The only pos sible - thing, he said, upon which such a dispatch could be hinged .was that follow ing the explosion at Iona Island which resulted. In the death of several men. Some shells were sent to the . Mldvale Works to be rebanded, and a ldaded shell was in cluded in the lot. Admiral jO'Nell Insisted that no defective materials ever had been received from the Mldvale Works. Under the system of examination of the Navy, he said that the possibility of en anarchist plot , to tamper with shells designed, for naval ordnance was preposterous. Multnomafu to Face.

Secretary Hitchcock tonight said regarding the arrest of John A Benson In New York: "I have been informed that Benson was arrested this afternoon on an In dictment found by the grand jury, and that he was held in $10,000 bail for a hearing on January 11 before the United States Commissioner In New York, relative to his return to the Dis trict of Columbia for trial. "The grand jury took up Benson's case on Monday. , We had been prepar ing it for some time. We had him ar rested in Washington on a warrant be fore an indictment had been obtained because we were informed that he in tended to leave Washington. That case now will be dropped, as the indictment covers all that ground and much more. "We were Informed again this week that Benson Intended to leave New York. It -was thought best not to allow him to get further away from us without an indictment. "Other developments may be ex pected to follow rapidly now. We are working on other indictments, and there are a number of other arrests to be made. The evidence seems to bo Irrefutable." BIDS ON BONDS CALLED FOR.

The annual football match between the- Reliance Athletitc Club of Oakland and the Multnomah Club of this city takes place this afternon at 2:30 on Multnomah Field. It Is the last game of the season for both elevens, and one which for many reasons both would like to win. Conse quently something better than any game seen this year in Portland is to be ex pected. Reliance represents the pick of the California and Nevada players. strengthened by some Eastern men, and Multnomah will line up the best material available among Its members. The Mult nomah Club has not gone out of Its way, however, to obtain football talent, and a bona fide, club team will be played. That either team Is to win has not been prophesled.though the odds are running a little in favor of neliance. Tnese ouos, however, are apparently not based cn Judgment, but on the defeats Multnomah met with in California early in the Fail. When It is considered that the Multno mah players have been practicing together for several months and a number of the Reliance men have been drafted-from the California college teams, there seems no reason for Reliance's preference. The Multnomah team itself ! does not feel any particular apprehension. Mult nomah has never lined up so strong an aggregation of players as Captain Mc Millan will marshal today. Jn the line Pratt" and Klrkley will play at tackles, next to Ross and Van Voorhles at guard, with Kellar or Grieve at center. This combination of five men makes a line that is hard to get through. All-Oregon could not do It, and All-Oregon was a strong team. It Is safe to say that Re liance will not do much to his line. The ends will be unusually sure The pick of th? regular ends will t guard the right end of the line- and ' Chauncey Bishop, the p!d Multnomah liglf, jwho Is at home for the holidays from Columbia University df New York, where he won honors at end, will guard the other. Murphy or Stott, and both are fully capable of filling the position, will play quarter and manage the team. Murphy Is more used to the men, but Stott will not be found lacking if he goes into the game. if McMillan s leg remains as weir as it is, he -will be one' of the "halves, ' but It Is -likely that Valentine will take his place. Corbett Is booked for the other half During the month and a half that Corbett has played he has learned the po sition thoroughly, and can now be counted upon on the defensive and as a ground gainer alike. - Dolph will be fullback, and it is certain that he will be able to gain through the Reliance line at any stage of the game. Against All-Oregon he was always good for two or three yeards, fact that means Reliance will have to havri a great line of forwards to stop him. The Hellante team has received quite a shake-up since the Carlisle game a week ago, -and some shitting has been done, but its strength has not been Impaired. though there will be a conspicuous lack' of substitutes. Heitmueller has been changed from tackle to fullback and Hamilton has taken his place at tackle. Goshen will play half, instead df end. However, Reliance must be strong in the line, at least when a man like Cavanaugh, who has figured on the AU-American, is played at center. The list of players shows Gaffey and New as guards, Martin and Hamilton at tackle, Leavltt and Bacon at end. These are all now on Stanford or the Univer sity or jamornia teams, or nave seen service on those teams or with Eastern colleges. Ned Holt, who has only recently gone from Portland to California, Is quarter, and Goshen and Graves f California are the halves. Heitmueller has made his name at tackle, and It now remains to see what he can do at full. Coach "Pete" Smith of Reliance, when seen last night, said that he was sorry he could not bring all the men who fig ured In the Indian game, but expresses no fear of Multnomah. He says he has a much stronger and better organized team than he brought to Portland last year, and then Multnomah only made on, touchdown, and that by the most ylolent kind of effort at( the end of tho game. With this year's team he hopes to vanquisn juuitnoman. The line-up in to-day's game will be as follows: Reliance. Position. Multnomah. Bacon I, E. R... Bishop, Kerrltran Martjn L.T. R.

Jay Andrews, who during most of last season was in charge of station No. 3 for the Browns, has signed for next season with President Sexton, of the Western League. Jay Andrews was one of the most popular ballplayers on the local team and the fans, while they will miss his snappy playing and genial goodfellowshin, will wish him all sorts of good luck during the season or laot.
