S AG! GRAVE
Far Eastern Situation
Is Puzzling
JAPAN IS ALL EXPECTANCE
Startling Developments Are
Hourly Looked For.
RUSSIA IS STILL DEBATING
Reply Is Not Likely to Be Delivered
Before End of Week-In Mean
time Warning Is Given
Reserves.
LONDON, Jan. 28. The Tokio corro
.Bpondent of the Dally Telegraph has sent
in the following cablegram:
The official Gazette publishes an im
perial ordinance empowering the govern
ment to assume control of all private rall
ways, etc., for military purposes. The
situation Is very grave and developments
are hourly expected."
WARNED TO BE READY.
Russia Is Bidding for Public Support
of War Party.
LONDON, Jan. 25. The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Dally Mall reports
that the first reserves there have been
'warned to hold themselves In readiness
Jor service. This la possibly a step
taken with the object of preparing the
public for eventualities, the correspondent
eays, and for obtaining the support of
public opinion, which the war party hith
erto has lacked. Nothing approaching a
war fever, however, is yet discernible.
The Chefoo correspondent of the Dally
Mail cables that Viceroy Alexleff's Illness
is graver, than had been supposed, and
that his absence has caused a vast accu
mulation of matters which h Is sub
urdlnates are unable to handle. Military
preparations, the correspondent adds, are
pnly half completed.
Cabling from Tien Tsln, the corre
spondent of the Standard says 2000 Chin
ese who had been enlisted by the Rus
sians, deserted on being ordered to Port
Arthur.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph cables that he has
learned, It was the erroneous Idea of M.
BezobrazofC, leader of the war party, and
a Secretary of State, that Japan would
rather withdraw her demands than fight,
wh3ca led to divided councils in the Bus-
government, and when war seemed
avoidable M. BezobrazofC still perelst-
e&that a short and sharp struggle would.
Bi the matter. He even ventured to crlt-Jclswthe-
plan of campaign of War Minls
jter jSpuropatkin and the War Office, and
proposed a plan of his own.
The War Minister then threatened to
resign, according to the correspondent,
and Count Lamsdorff and M. Witte, re
spectively Minister of Foreign Affairs and
president of the committee of Ministers,
protested against M. BezobrazofC's as
cendency. Finally, Grand Duke Alexan
der, who had first brought M. Bezobra
zoff into prominence, became convinced
that war must be avoided, and he man
aged to get M. BezobrazofC away.
The Tokio correspondent of the Times
says the leading Japanese journals con
tinue to be skeptical of Russia's pacific
Intentions, and argue that the patching up
of a hollow peace would be a prelude
to future rivalry in armaments which
would cause a greater strain than a war,
whereas a fight today would be a preface
to many years of peace.
NOT THAT KIND OF POWER.
Corea Joining With Japan Would
Not Drag France In.
PARIS, Jan. 25. Tho attitude of Corea
In the event of war between Russia and
Japan has been the subject of much
comment among tho diplomats here, as
It is believed Corea's giving aid to Japan
might constitute two powers attacking
Russia, thus bringing in France, under
the terms of the Franco-Russian agree
ment. One of the ambassadors, there
fore, asked Foreign Minister Delcasse
what the result would be if Corea joined
Japan and the answer is in substance
that Corea is not considered to be that
kind of a sovereign independent power,
whoso assistance to Japan against Rus
sia would brine about the contingency
contemplated by the Franco-Russian
agreement. Although tho answer was con
fined to Corea, it is understood that a
similar -view prevails, thereby confirming
previous reports on the same subject
that China's joining Japan -would not
constitute two powers attacking Russia.
A dispatch from Seoul January 23 an
nounced that the Corean,. government
had made a formal declaration of neu
trality in the event of war between Rus
sia and Jauan. and last night It was
announced from Seoul that a cablegram
had been received there from the Corean
Minister; at St. Petersburg, saying that
Russia disapproved of Corea's declara
tion of neutrality.
STILL PONDERS OVER REPLY.
Russia, However, Will Probably Be
Able to Submit It This Week.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 25. The ex
change of communications between the
Foreign Office, the members of tho com
mittee of the Far East, Viceroy Alexleff
and Baron De Rosen, the Russian Min
ister at Tokio, is still going on. There is
no official Indication of when a con
clusion will be reached, but a diplomat,
who Is close to such negotiations, ex
presses the opinion that the Russian re
ply possibly will be ready this week.
An authoritative denial Is given of the
report that Russia ever contemplated re
questing the United States to explain the
attitude attributed to the United States.
The Corean Mlnlser has received advices
that his government will soon open
the port of W1J1, on the T&lu River, at
the request of the United States to the
commerce of the world.
RUSSIA NOW FEARS COREA.
Rioting There . Is Likely to Assume
'a Serious Phase.
LONDON. Jan. 26. A dispatch to Reu
ter"s Telegram Company from St. Peters
burg says that while the Bourse there has
been nervous, owing to the uncertainty of
te situation, the progress of the hegotia-

tlops inspires Increasing confidence among
those who are well informed, and in such
quarters there is a confident belief in a
favorab3e issue. The principal danger
now, according to this dispatch, Is said
to be confined to the disorderly elements
In Corea. The latest news received here
represents a great majority of the Coreans
as sympathizing with Russia and hostile
to Japan.
Other dispatches say that the Japanese
a-e embarking 10,000 laborers at Tien Tsln
in order to hasten the completion of the
Seoul-Fasln Railroad. Some anxiety has
been expressed In St Petersburg regard
ing the military movements of China.
, A dispatch to the Daily Mail from War
saw says, arrangements have been made
to call out 86.000 reserves In the Kharkoff,
KlelT and Odessa districts should it be
come necessary to do so.
AMERICA NOT FRIGHTENED,
It Expects No Trouble Over Sending
Consuls to Manchuria.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Count Cassini.
the Russian Ambassador, had a long talk
today with Mr. Loomls,-Acting Secretary
of State on the Far Eastern situation. The
Ambassador's advices cave somn hnn nf
peace, though the phase of the question
wnicn receivea most attention was the un
contradicted statements which have ap
peared In certain newsoanprs rpfnrrMnc
the attitude of this Government The Rus
sian government, of course, could not pre
sume to question the previous assurances
received from this country regarding Its
neutrality because of anv npirsnnnpr Dup
lication, but the recurrence of these state
ments nas proved annoying.
There Is no anticipation on the part of
this Government of n.nv hltoh in tnn in
ception of our Consuls in Manchuria. The
eviaence or approval of the commercial
treaty which Russia has given convinces
the State Department that the Consuls
will receive every courtesy.
NO FEELING TOWARD AMERICA
High Officials at Port Arthur Deny
Rumors of Hostility.
PORT ARTHUR, Jan. 25. The highest
officials hero repudiate the mihlfshori ac
cusations of Russian hostility to the
united fatates because of its Manchurian
policy, and the appointment" of American
Consuls under the 'new treaty with China.
It. is officially assarted that no large re
inforcements of toe Eastern forces Is ex
pected at present. The military authori
ties, however, add that otherwise arrange
ments are making for a large supply of
ponies from tho Province of Chl-Ll for the
Cossacks and mounted infantry;
The demoralization of the passenger and
freight traffic on the Manchurian Railway
continues In consequence of the military
activity, and there is a great blockade of
freight at Port Dalny. j
Steamer Will Get War Advices.
vAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25. The Japan
ese steamer America Maru, Captain Philip
Going, sailed today for Yokohama and
Kobe, via Honolulu, with more than a
score of passengers and a cargo of 10,000
tons, made up of 30-) tons of freight and 700
tons of bunker coal. Mall was carried for
the Orient and that for points beyond
Kobe will be transferred at tho Japanese
port
Tho America Maru, it is believed, will
receive cablegrams at Honolulu and also
at Midway Island, giving Information
concerning the war outlook in the Far
East Her sister ships, the Nippon Maru
and the Hong Kong Maru, are now in
Japan and will be held for service In the
event of war against Russia.
Corean Cabinet Friendly to Japan.
TOKIO, Jan. 25. The first meeting of
tho recently created supreme military
council took place at the palace today.
Subsequently the Ministers had an audi
ence with the Emperor, who exhorted
them to co-operate In giving effect to the
Important financial programme which had
been drawn up to deal with any contin
gency that might arise. The new Corean
Cabinet is friendly to Japan.
It is said officially that the recent press
reports of disturbances in the Chong
Chung Province of Corea are exagger
ated, but it is not denied that that coun
try i3 far from tranquil.
Russians Moving Toward Corea.
PEKIN, Jan. 25. The American Govern
ment Is arranging to despatch the senior
student interpreters here to Mukden, Port
Dalny and Antung, to act as American
VIce-Consuls.
A small detachment of Russian cavalry
has passed through Kaopangtzu on Its
way to Ichou. This region was retro
ceded to China long ago.
Advices received here from Port Ar
thur are to the effect that a battalion
of Russian troops are moving from that
point toward the Corean frontier.
Germany Sees Japan Is in Earnest.
BERLIN, Jan. 25. As the German gor
ernment understands tho present situa
tion, the feeling Is such at Tokio that
Japan will declaro war 'unless Russia an
swers her demands favorably. Russia
recognizes this, and accordingly intends to
accept enough of Japan's points to make
tho Tokio Cabinet feel that a sufficient
cause for war no longer exists, and while
the forthcoming note will not fully satisfy
Japan. It will prevent the serious possi
bility of a declaration of war.
Spies' Work Stirs Japan.
TOKIO, Jan. 25. Takashlma, the Japan
ese Interpreter for the Russian attache,
was arrested on Saturday last on suspi
cion of acting as a spy la the Yokusuja
fortification. He has been taken to Yoko
hama for trial. It Is alleged that conclu
sive evidence has been obtained regard
ing other suspects, which is causing a very
strong feeling against such treachery,
which Is a capital offense la Japan.
China Is Urging Mediation.
PEKIN. Jan. 25. The Chinese authori
ties have approached the Ministers here
of several powers with proposals directed
toward attempting mediation with Russia
and Japan. China is exceedingly anxious
that war should be avoided.

counterpart, in styles, as a neighboring "Department Store" is telling
of, in a typical manner, under the 'alias" of "ADVANCE SPRING

thusly:

Here is the actual reproduction
of WHAT THEY DID SAY; taken
from the New York Sun. The
"word-twist" is merely made by
the self-accommodating writer of
these idle store fancies in a useless
endeavor to further fool the public.
This store stands a solid bulwark
between such deceptions and its
public. Not a word of being rec

"Suitable" for early Spring wear.

TORIAL POINT OF VIEW, and,
were it not for the few Spring ma

'IF YOU SEE IT IN THE SUN, IT'S SO.
The ''New Spring Models" in NEW DIP ETON SUITS spoken of in the "Hollander" extract have
been here since the latter part of November. T41 handsome new military effects, flat collars, beautifully and
effectively trimmed with rich, pretty velvets and gilt buttons. We have carefully compared these suits with
those heralded as "Advance Spring Styles" by a local "Department Store," and find them identically the
same except for the U3ual fact of superiority of ours, due to better, more experienced selection from standard
makers. Come up and see them. Examples on show in a Washington-street window. Portland people are
too well posted to doubt as to who's first in approved showings this time, it's in our favor by two months
thanks to our constant touch with the fashion authorities and our permanent New York office. But we'll
never announce the second, or "definitely settled Winter modes" as "Advance Spring Styles." A spade is
