WOULD CLOSE THE BALTIC vizn Is for German Troops to Occupy Copenhagen arid Prevent Russian Ships Leaving or Those of -England Entering. i . PABIS. Jan- 27. The St Petersburg conespchident of the Paris edition of the New York iHerald has telegraphed an ex traordinary" story to the effect that Ger many and Denmark have "reached an un derstanding under the terms of which. In the event of Great Britain fighting with Japan against Russia, Germany, -would amicably occupy Copenhagen with a powerful force, closing the Baltic and preventing the Russian fleet from leav ing or the British from entering that sea. EXAMINE RAILROAD FOR RUSSIA Minister Will Go Over Line of Great Value in the Event of War. 6T. PETERSBURG. Jan. 27.-WhIle the exchanges regarding the Russian response to the Japanese note are still progress ing and the Foreign Office here announces today that there Is fno change In the' situation, the Japanese Legation does not credit the report from Toklo that Japan has requested Russia to hasten her reply. M. Kurlno. the Japanese Minister, has received no instructions on the subject. On the contrary, -he apparently realizes the delay Is consequent upon exchanges between St- Petersburg, Viceroy Alexleff and Baron de Rosen, the Russian Min ister at Toklo. M. Kurlno reiterates his opinion that Japan will not press Russia for a reply. The Admiralty insists that the move ments of the Russian ships in the neigh borhood of Port Arthur are entirely with out significance, saying, In explanation, that they are probably merely routine changes of station, and certainly made without the expectation of a collision. A prominent Admiral said in an interview today: "The Admiralty believes in the peace ful termination of the negotiations. Some of our ships in the Par East are still in reserve. The steps now being tfaken should be described as precautionary, rather tnan warlike preparations." Prince Kllkoff, Minister of Railroad Communications, will leave here in a few days for Irkutsk to inspect the nearly completed railroad line around Lake Baikal, which connects the two ends of the; Siberian road. This connection, which will permit the movement of through trains, is considered of great, advantage, especially in the event of Winter mili tary exigencies. The Czar, when voicing his approval of Prince Khllkoffs mission, said In substance that he desired peace, which he believed would not be broken, but It was proper to prepare for all emergencies. Some of the Russian newspapers are again becoming bellicose. The Bourse Gazette declares Russia has reached the parting of the ways, and1- must now choose her position and maintain It. It discusses seriously the "yellow peril," contending it to be the duty -of the powers to Intervene, as they did after the China-Japanese "War. The Gazette concludes Its article by saying that If Japan persists In her warlike attitude, Russia Is not going to be Intimidated. The Novoe Vremya says the conversion 5f the reserve battalions Into regiments, which was not carried out some months ago for financial reasons, Is now executed because more military units are needed in the East, and because Germany's in crease In recent years demands a second line of defense. Today was diplomatic day in St Peters burg, but Count Lamsdorff, the Foreign Minister, did not receive. NEW AGITATION IN LONDON. Question Whether Alexleff or Lams dorff Will Rule. LONDON. Jan. 2S. Conflicting ru mors are in circulation regarding Rus sia's plans, and the result is that the hopes of the peace element are at the lowest possible ebb. In fact, there is no doubt in London that Russia's an swer, when it is handed to Japan, will, be unfavorable. But It Is not the ques tion of this reply that Is agitating Lon don this morning, rather It Is whether Admiral Alexleff and Count Lamsdorff, the Russian Minister for Foreign Af fairs, Is to have the upper hand In de ciding the Issue with Japan. Alexleff Is unalterably for war. and If his counsels prevail. Russia will abso lutely refuse to treat with Japan re garding Manchuria, -and will also refuse to grant anything but limited territorial rights in Corea. Lamsdorff is a favorite of tho Czar, and desires to compromise with Japan, and if he wore In supreme control, Russia would avert war at any cost- Thorefore. a dispatch that came to hand last night from Berlin stating that Allexlff was to be deprived of his pleni potentiary powers, and that Count Lamsdorff would In the future shape Russia's foreign policy In tho Far East In another part of tho world, was re ceived with much Interest, and there was premature rejoicing that war would be averted. However, within a very short tlmo came a dispatch from St. Petersburg which told another story, and declared the best Informed military officials who could be reached refused to believe that Count Lamsdorff had been able to under mine Admiral Alexleff. They declared tho latter was too powerful an official and too well posted on the situation in Manchuria and Corea to have his judg merit set 'aside because he disagreed with the Minlstor for Foreign Affairs. In fact, tho war sentiment In St. Petersburg was declared to be on the Increase, and the feeling was general that important developments could be ex pected at almost any time. Tho Times this morning publishes the following dispatch from its Toklo cor respondent: The government has resolved to Impose a war tax by doubling the land tax and tho Income tax, thereby obtaining add! tlonal revenue of 44.000.00fl yen (522.WK),- JAPAN TAKES 20 STEAMERS. Several Are Now Being Prepared for War Service. VICTORIA. B. C.. Jan. 27. The steamer Kaga Mara, wMch arrived this morninir. brought news that 50 steamers had been commandered by the Japanese government Del ore she sailed, oil for the naval denart- xnent. Tho five liners of the Australian line of the Nippon Tusen Kalsha. includ ing the Just completed NIkko Maru. had their fittings torn out and were hurried to Yokohama to be fitted as torpedo-carriers- Three steamers of the American route to San Francisco had been taken and will be made auxiliary cruisers. The Akl Maru and Rio Jan Maru. of the Seattle line, were taken, the former to be used as a receiving ship. The small -tra, mostly fast vessels, were being -fitted with guns as auxiliary 'cruisers. Two coasters had been fitted up as red cross steamers. The European liners Hotaka Maru and SanakI Maru had also been" taken- Cap tain v Parsons, who came In the Kaka Marn In place of Captain Obno. who had been transferred to a red-cross steamer, said when he arrived at Yokohama from Australia in his steamer Yawata. Maru two days before sailing she was at once stripped of her furniture, pianos and everything movable, and was at once thrown over the side into lighters and she was hurried to Yokusaka to be fitted up as a torpedo-carrier. The Bombay liners Konshin Maru and Saguea Maru were recalled from Hong Kong and the greatest activity prevailed. All the ships were taken for the naval department, none being taken for. army transports. When he left, other warlike preparations, both on land and sea, were also being carried out. RUSSIA CAN STRIKE HARD. She Is Not Seeking War, but Is Well Prepared if It Should Come. PARIS. Jan. 27. Official advices received here -from St Petersburg show that For eign Minister Lamsdorff, before giving Russia's answer, has called in the-Jap-anese Minister, M. Kurino. The two Min isters are now conferring, with the view of so shaping the response as to avoid a' con flict This is-considered to be an explana tion of tho dispatch from Toklo saying Japan has requested Russia to hasten her reply. As Count Lamsdorff and Kurlno are having conferences prior to the sub mission of the reply. It Is regarded as evi dence of Japan's insistence on an early an swer and of Russia's desire to avoid a re sponse which might precipitate hostilities. Count Lamsdorff's course in conferring with M- Kurlno before answering is cited as showing Russia's willingness to go to tho last limit In order to avoid war. But. it Is added, if-the efforts of Russia lall she will be prepared to strike very hard blows from the outset. All Information reaching the highest quarters here tends to show that the crisis continues acute. It appears to be the ac cepted conviction In government circles that the final determination between peace and war cannot long be deferred. A cate gorical denial Is given, so far as France is concerned, to the Pekin report that the French Minister Is taking part in negotia tions with the view of mediation of France, Great Britain and the United States. COUP IN COREA IS PLANNED. Japan Is Making -Great Military and Naval Preparations. LONDON, Jan. 2S. Dispatches received today on the Far Eastern: situation do not reveal any change therein. The Japanese government is holding conferences with bankers and othors with regard to provid ing the sinews for a possible war. Cable grams from Toklo comment significantly upon the calm and confident attitude of the Japanese people. According to tho correspondent of the Dally Mall at Chee- foo, everything points to an Impending Japanese coup in Corea, for which both military and naval preparations are being made. Correspondents of the Times In the prin cipal towns of Russia report active warlike-preparations, and tho belief that war Is appreciably near.

WASHINGTON. , Jan. 27. The President ha3 appointed "W. B. Martin to succeed Mrs. Minnie Cox. a negress, as Postmaster at Indianola. Miss. Concerning the ap pointment, the following statement was issued at the White House: "The President has sent to the Senate the nomination of WMlam B. Martin to bo Postmaster at Indianola, The term of the the Spaniards for generations, and were so engaged at the time of American oc cupation; and when It Is remembered that these same people turned their guns against us, and. kept them against us for years. It must be conceded that Ameri cans have thus far been successful in the Philippines. The Americans have accomplished In five years that which the Spaniards had failed to do In 400 years. The Filipino people are generally more prosperous today than they ever hoped to be under Spanish rule- The native wage earner now receives from five to ten times as much for his labor as he ever dared expect prior to American occu pancy. This fact, coupled with the knowl edge (In many cases gained from -experience) that "ladronlsin" Is an unprofit able and most unhealthful occupation, in duces the natives to be as industrious as their nature and physique will permit. HE DODGES DECLINATION Things That Mr. Hanna Might Sayy but Doesn't. Brooklyn Eagle.

The body of Miss Sarah Schafer, teacher of Latin In the schools of Bedford, Indi was found In a barn there, to which It had been carried by the murderer, who 'attacked his victim at the mouth of an alley as she was on her way to visit some pupils. A few hairs from a red mustache, graspod in the clinched hand of the body, indicated a tcrrlflc struggle and furnished a clew to the murderer. Postmistress had expired, and she refused to accept a reappointment under any con dition, and made the request for the ap pointment of Mr. Martin, one of her bondsmen and stanch friends throughout the whole trouble, and who had done everything in his power to oppose and pre vent lawlessness. A report was made by the Postofilce Inspector who had orig inally Investigated the whole affair, and on his advice and Investigation of the posi tive refusal of the Postmistress to accept a reappointment under any consideration the President appointed Mr. Martin." , It will be recalled that Mrs. Cox, whose husband was a railway mall clerk, became objectionable to some of the citizens of Indianola, and she (as finally requested by them to resign her office. Threats were made against her, and she was led to believe that her life was In danger. She expressed to the Postofflce Depart ment a desire to resign, but when the facts were developed the department de clined to permit her to do fto. Feeling over the matter became bitter, and as Mrs. Cox felt she could not remain in the office with safety to herself, the office was closed, the Government refusing to make any qther arrangement. For a long time the pebple of Indianola have been receiv ing their mall from Greenville, a town 20 miles distant from Indianola. The citi zens paid a special carrier to bring their mail "$rom Greenville. For some tlmo an arrangement has been making quietly for the reopening of the Indianola office. Mrs. Cox's term of four years having expired, the appointment of Mr. Martin is made as a solution of the difficulty. The appoint ment is understood to be satisfactory to all concerned. PROGRESS IN MANILA. The Wonderful Changes That Have Been Brought About in Five Years. Manila American. What progress have the Americans made in the Philippines? Looking back five years to that memorable day when the first American expedition arrived In the Philippines, and contrasting the ap pearance of the City of Manila and the condition of the Filipino people, as they appeared to those American pioneers, with today's comparatively modern city of Manila, and the peaceful and comparative ly contented natives, one is forced to the conclusion that American administration In the Philippines has not been barren of results. Five years ago Manila was a filthy, pestilential hole, sanitation was either unknown or entirely Ignored by the Span ish government, and as a result of this neglect disease-ran riot throughout the city. While Manila is In sore need of a seweoge system and many other sani tary Improvements, yet there Is no com parison between the cleanliness today and the time wficn Americans first Inaugur ated their sanitary, crusade Manila will probably never be adver tised as an Ideal health resort, neverthe less the large number of residences In course of construction Indicates that Americans have learned that they can live in the tropics, and are preparing to make this their home One of the greatest drawbacks to the city has been the lack of shipping facili ties. The great harbor Improvement now under way will In time dispose of this difficulty, and make Manila the 'best equipped port in the Orient and Its main distributing point, "an advantage which Is now enjoyed by Hong Kong. When It Is considered that these people I have -waged a guerrilla warfare, against mated andgreatly magnified by Democrat ic papers, and by those with Democratic proclivities." It was, we believe, Mark Antony, and not Mark Hanna, who, In speaking of Caesar, and not of Roosevelt, said "Thrice upon the Lupercal I did offer him the kingly crown, which did he thrice refuse." There are several things to be said of that. In the first place the Lu- percal meant a certain day in the week or a certain feast of tne Roman year. It did not mean either the Wall Street or the Fulton Market, or the Tenderloin of old Rome, as too many well-Intending folk In variably assume. In the second place. Brutus was not quite satisfied with the three declinations by Caesar of the kingly crown. He said that Caesar was his friend, and for that he loved him, but he slew him. In other words, Mark An tony did not make out so far as Brutus was concerned, a greater vindication for Caesar than Mark Hanna makes out on the line of exculpation for himself. 2s ow, Mr. Hunna cannot say that he has ""declined the nomination 2000 times." He has quallfiedly declined It once, and has Issued 2000 duplicates of that single quali- nea aecnnatiun. Jtie nas "seen ijacsars three and gone him 1997 times "better." In the next place, Mr. Hanna says nothing about declining a nomination. It might be thrust on him against his will. In the third place, he Is not ingenuous in talking about "Democratic papers or papers with Democratic proclivities." as the only forces that have suggested him as a silent burrower, with the intention, or capability. of becoming a willing recipient, after a formal but Ineffectual verbal protest. The Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune, for instance. Is neither Democratic nor a half- and-half Democratic paper. Its Repub licanism is so straight as to be painful. It Is against Roosevelt and It only con ceals that it Is for Hanna, because Mr. Hanna's friends have Insisted that it should not obtrude his name. The same is the case with that Columbus (O.) papter which Hanna asked, at mldnlgnt, by tele phone, from Cleveland, to "kill" an edi torial bringing him out for President. Furthermore, the Republican organization of the State of Indiana, which has keyed up things Republican in that state against Mr. Roosevelt and for Mr. Hanna. can not be convicted of Democracy, or even of the symptoms of Democracy. Mr. Hanna could say. as General Sherman said oncetr "If I am nominated I will decline. If,. In spite of that. I am elected, I will also decline. If. In spite of that, they bring to me the commission on a gold plate. I will refuse the commission, and keep the plate!" Nobody fooled around Old Tecum seh after he said that, if Mr. Hanna is wanting precedents for plainness. General Sherman certainly furnished him with one. Reading In Bed. ' London MafL Mr. Frank T. Bullen, the novelist, says: "With all due deference to the expert opinion in your columns, may I state that I have never since lAras 12 years old read at any length anywhere else. At sea be fore the mast, and even as an officer, read ing anywhere else. Is, If not an impossibil ity, a mcst difficult business on account of the light. "If reading in bed be a disease," Mr. Bullen continues, "I have it very badly, but to It I owe all I know. As to Its effect upon the eyes I will not dogmatize. I may be an exception, but at 47 years of age my eyes are as keen as ever they were, ana I read In. bed every night. As to dan gerwell.
