Press Says Russia May
Regret Action.

if She Were Unwilling,
WAR WILL NOW BE LONG ONE
Far East In a peaceful manner, but after
the treacherous surprise on- the part of
the Japanese -which' forced Russia to
take up arms, obviously no friendly
mediation can have any success.
"Similarly the imperial government will
not admit the intervention of any power
whatsoever in the direct negotiation
which will occur between Russia and
Japan after the termination of hostllo
operations, in order to determine the con
ditions of peace."
Rising of Manchuria Brigands Is
Probable In the Event of a
Japanese Victory on '
Land.
LONDON, April 30. London papers com
menting on Russia's repudiation of media
tion, display the customary Russophoblc
bias, and regard Russia's official note as
simply Intended for home consumption,
as none of the powers would be likely to
intervene unless previously assured that
mediation would be welcome. They also
hint that Russia may havo cause to regret
that she closed the door prematurely on
the possibility of friendly intervention,
and regard the note as dispelling all hope
of an early termination of hostilities. The
Telegraph says:
"The note breathes an uncompromising
determination to fight while there Is a
rouble In the treasury, hut no other
course would bo regarded worthy of a
great world -power."
No further news of any kind has been
received regarding the reported Russian
reverse on the Yalu.
According to the Telegraph's Shanghai
correspondent, the bulk of the supplies
of the Russian army at Llao Tang are
being conveyed to Feng Huan Cheng. "

ways has issued notice that the Usuri and
Sungarl Rivers will soon be opened. The
ice is rapidly breaking up on the Amur
River.
The Emir of Bokhara has contributed
$500,000 for the increase of the Russian
navy.
The Telegraph's Ting Min Ting corre
spondent, cabling under date of April 29,
says he regards a general rising of Man
chu brigands, encouraged and aided by
Manchu officers, as probable in the event
of a Japanese success on land.
FEARS PLANS WILL GET OUT
Japan Will Not Use Wireless Tele
graphy on the Yalu.
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE -LONDON TIMES
AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN.
NAGASAKI, April SO. To all Intents
and purposes, the Port Arthur action of
April 13 has destroyed all reasonable fear
of interference with Japan's plans in the
Yellow Sea by the Russian Pacific squad
ron. The successful beginning of operations
is now reported along the Yalu. As
pointed out In previous messages. Gen
eral Kurokl's army may not be expected
to cross the Yalu until the Japanese are
prepared to strike heavily all along their
selected front The military authorities
consider that in the present juncture It
would be a tactical mistake to allow any
external means of communication to re
main in touch with their troops, and this
is the reason your correspondent is re
maining here.
From the attitudo of the inhabitants
here, it is almost impossible to realize
that the country is engaged in a na
tional struggle and the calm which pre
vails is most remarkable.
(The foregoing dispatch is from Cap
tain Lionel James, on board the steamer
Haimun, which put into Nagasaki on
Wednesday last to trefit. This probably
means that the Japanese government ha?
requested further disuse of the wireless
telegraphy apparatus on the Haimun for
the present)
COMMEND STAND OF CZAR.
Russians Glad to Know He Will Fight
to the Bitter End.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 29. The offi
cial declaration that Russia will not tol
erate the mediation or Intervention of a
third power either during or after the
war receives nothing but hearty com
mendation from all classes of the com
munityhere. - Tne circular note is .repro,
duced in 'every newspaper in the emplreT
It Is felt that Russia now has com
mitted herself before the world to a de
termination to fight the war to the bitter
end. and then permit no interference
when she makes terms with the enemy.
Great curiosity is manifested as to how
this far-reaching decision of Russia's
will be received by the other powers.
The circular denies the report that for
mal proposals have been made to the im
perial government by any foreign power
to use Its good office to restore peace, a
denial which does not reflect on the per
sonal intimation addressed directly to the
Emperor by King Edward of England and
King Christian of Denmark, an account
of which was given by the Associated
Press. The text of the circular is as
follows:
"The foreign press has recently been
persistently circulating reports concern
ing Intentions on the part of some Euro
pean governments to undertake friendly
mediation with a view of bringing peace
between Russia and Japan. Telegrams
have even been received announcing that
proposals of such a nature have been
made to the Imperial government You
are impowered to deny this statement
most categorically. Russia did not wish
war and everything within the limits of
possibility was done by her to solve the
complications which had arisen in the

RUSSIAN LOAN NEARLY MADE.
She Will Pay Five Per Cent on $160,
000,000 for Three Years.
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES
AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN.
PARIS, April 30. The negotiations for
a new Russian loan are' now complete,
hut it is not expected that final signatures
to the transactions will be exchanged for
some days to come. The total amount
proposed by Russia is 800,000,000 francs
(51C0.O00.000) of which 270.000,000 francs are
to be issued in May, 230,000.000 in August
to December, 1S04, and 3,000,000 francs in
1S05.
Russia proposes to pay 5 per cent for
the loan for three years, at the end of
which time a consolidating loan may be
issued. The issue is guaranteed 'by Rus
sian treasury bills, renewable at three
months. It is expected that the loan,
which will go far to cover the Russian
war expenditure for at least IS months,
will be popular here.

Japan Sees In Sale of Ships a Move

SPECIAL CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES
AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN.
TOKIO, April 30. There is a growing
belief in Japan that Germany is becom
ing benevolent towards Russia. A lead
ing journal, commenting upon the Im
perial Chancellor's pretext that the sale
of ships to Russia is consistent with neu
trality, inasmuch as Japan is equally free
to purchase vesesls, pronounces the plea
untenable, because the different condi

character of acts of neutrals.

MORGAN HANDLING CANAL DEAL
He Will See That Jransfer of Money
Does Not Affect Markets.
PARIS, April 29. The final details
of 'the big- financial operations Involved
In the Panama payment are almost con
cluded. J. Plerpont Morgan 13 per
sonally directing the transaction, and
the indications are that ho and num
ber of American financiers whom hte
has associated with him will consum
mate the transfer of the funds. It Is
Mr. Morgan's intention to admit some
of the leading- Paris banks to share in
the transaction, but the carrying out
of the plan -will bo essentially In Amer
ican hands.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press saw Mr. Morgan today. Wjhile
uo statement can be attributed to him,
the f correspondent is enabled to indi
cate from this and other sources the
main features of payment, as follows:
"The transfer of the $40,000,000 from
the United States to Europe will be
made so as not to disarrange the mon
ey market of either country. For this
purpose the total' will be divided Into
a number of smaller amounts, leaving
America at intervals, and thus not
causing & strain at any one time. More
over, It is pointed out, as the bulk of
the payment comes from the Treasury
without its drawing on the banks,
there will be no undue strain on the
banks.
The depository of the money here
will be the Banque de France, but
until the money is actually deposited
In the Banque de France It will remain
the property of the United States. The
formal payment to the company will
thus be made in Paris, instead of the
United States. This Is one of the most
important details of the plan, as It will
prevent the possible efforts of claim
ants to tie up a portion of the amount
after it passes out of the hands of the
United States and before it passes into
the hands of the company. The reten
tion of the ownership of the $40,000,000
until it Is actually turned over to the
Banque de France will obviate the
chances of litigation in regard to the
company's right to the money. The in
terests of the United States are also
completely safeguarded.
It is said that the banking transac
tions Involve little or no profit to Mr.
Morgan, who has undertaken it largely
because his exchange facilities permit
him to serve the Government advan
tageously. It is also understood that
whatever cost is involved the amount
will not come from the United States.
$1,000,000 Warrant Sent Morgan.
WASHINGTON. April 29. The Treasury
Department today forwarded to the Sec
retary of State for transmission to J. P.
Morgan & Co., New York, financial agents
of the Republic of Panama, a warrant for
$1,000,000 on account of the Panama canal
purchase.

ciation of Machinists, was present and
strongly advised this course. He said
there would be no strike here if he could

The action of the men on the Coast on

strongly condemned. Mr. Burkalaw In
timated that a peaceful settlement of the

TELL.URIDE, Col., April 29. Though

members of the citizens' alliance want to
drive these men out of town.

Head
of Firm In Financial
Drops Out of Sight.
Straits
NEW YORK, April 29. A Deputy Sheriff
today took possession of the office of
Woodend & Co.. members of the Con
solidated Stock Exchange, on an attach
ment of $4810, in favor of Harry C. Johns
ton, who held a judgment for that
amount. Up to a few days ago the firm
had extensive wire connections to
branches In various cities, and it was
generally supposed to be doing a largo
business.
Armed with a warrant for the arrest
of Dr. Woodend, an officer visited tho
Woodend residence today and searched
the house, but found no trace of Dr.
Woodend. Mrs. Woodend said:
"My husband Is very ill and will appear
In due time. I will say no more at this
time."
When the patrolman reported that
Woodend was not at his home, Assistant
District Attorney Krotel issued a war
rant for his arrest on the charge of
grand larceny. He believes that the
broker left his home last night or early
today. Abraham Gruber was today ap
pointed temporary i-ecelver of the Arm.
Mr. Gruber appointed James C. Lenny
as his counsel and the latter took charge
of the Woodend offices. Later, Mr. Lenny
sald that although he had made only a
superficial examination or the firm's af
fairs, he thought its liabilities would
reach at least $200,000, and they might
exceed $500,000.
C
