DENY JAPAN" HAS PROTESTED But France Fears Neutrality Ques tion N'cars Crisis. PARIS, May S. The critical tone of the British prens concerning France's alleged breaches of neutrality in Inao-Chlna brought out an emphatic general state ment today from the Foreign Office, that the accusations arc unfounded. An offi cial said: "It Is universally known that the Jap anese Intelligence department is excep tionally efficient. Therefore, If various specific breaches of neutrality really ex isted, the Japanese government would have been aware of them and would hat e presented specific charges to the French government. So far, however, Japanese action has been confined to requesting France to exercise strict neutrality. She has not made any specific charges, nor have anv specific acts of violation of neutrality yet been brought to our at tention. The Japanese government asked t In amicable spirit that wo cive neutrality and we answered tliat we had done and are doing' everything possible to that end The reports to the contrary we believe to be mIsrepresentations., Xr. Motono, the Japanese Minister to France, went to the- Foreign Office yes terday evening, where he had an extended interview with Foreign Minister Deicasse. The nature of their conversation was not disclosed, but It is understood that Dr. Motono referred to Japan's Increasing" Im patience regarding the alleged preaches of neutrality. The feeling- prevails here that the sit uation is gradually assuming much ten sion. Reports are current that the' posi tive instructions of the French officials here receive perfunctory execution on the part of their subordinates in Indo-Chlna owing to the Individual sympathy exist ing between the civil and naval French and Russian authorities. A eeml-offlclal note Issued this after noon pays: "Contrary to the allegations contained in a' dispatch from HongKnns: to a for eign agency, not only Jias the French Gov ernment not disregarded the rules, the government has unremittingly seen to their extension." The semi-official Temps today in a lead ing article refers to the "disagreeable attitude of the Japanese prc?f towards France, whlcir now finds a partial echo In the Britten press." and ty that the basis of both Criticisms is that France ought to apply the British rules of neu trality and that the entire subject is discuajcd from the British conception of what constitutes neutrality. The paper adds: It (the British press) virtually propotes that France abandon the neutrality regulations he ha always fotlotved and adopt those of Gresl Britain, which ah ha never ceased t re pudiate. Neutrality regulations are not unl versal, but vary according to the essential conditions of the people observing them. In sular powers taring many naval bases, adopt rigorous neutrality rul. whereas. . continen tal powers haying few points of .naval sup port would be nt a manifest Inferiority If they iccept rlgorou neutrality rules. The French Government has Informed Parliament that It Is fully respecting th neutrality of our ccatz .and waters In Indo-Chlsa and It should be fully undtrstosd that this means the Frenclr neutrality regulations to which, we remain always faithful. The foregoing gives the view enter tained also in official quarters that the criticisms are chiefly due to' the belief that the rigorous British neutrality reg ulations have universal application; whereas the French regulations on the subject are far more liberal and France insists) that she has the right to follow her own regulations. llussla Has "Received Xo Protest.

A considerable force of troops is also reported to. be due east of Klrln as far south as the Tumen River,' to contest the Japanese advance northeastward toward Vladivostok. It is not regarded as cer tain that the Japanese advance will really be serious. Oyama Is said to have re ceived large reinforcement?, which have filled up the Japanese ranks, and he brought up Immense quantities of sup plies and ammunition after the battle of Mukden, both by way of Slnmlntln and over the reconstructed Manchurian rail road. But at the.

GKNAL WILL CURE Shipment by Panama Now Is Slow and Expensive. Report to the president Ratcsjby. Government Railroad Must Be Very Low to Orfsct iioss in Handling: the Goods Six Times. SAX FRANCISCO, May $. A matter of creat commercial Imnortanro to the Pa clnc Coast is discussed in a report that has been prepared for the information of President Roosevelt. Secretary Taft, of the War Departments and J. I. Bristow, a special Commissioner appointed by Presi dent Roosevelt to visit this Coast and ac quire facts. The question refers to the utility of the Panama route for the move ment of freight between San Francisco and the Atlantic States. The report was submitted ty W. R. Wheeler. "W, J. Dut ton and Rufus P. Jennings. It was adopt ed by the trustees of the Chamber ot Commerce and forwarded to "Washington in printed form by the chamber. The chamber finds that "there is really but one object to be obtained, and that is the adoption of such a course as will make the Panama route more advan tageous for the movement of freight than under the conditions heretofore existing." The report says: "The present freight schedule via Pan ama Is apparently based on the overland railroad freight schedoie. the charges of tne former varying from 7S to SO per cent, with an average of about 8? per cent of the latter: In other words, the differen tials in favor of the Panama route, with its 2-J-day trip as compared with the transcontinental route with its H-day trip, are so small that the shipper either East or West does not consider the sav ing sufficient to cover the risk of dam age or breakage in the necessary several handlings of the goods via Panama. "Under government ownership of the Panama Railroad and the sea route to New York from Colon, the only question to be considered would be whether the freight rates could be made sufficiently low to make the saving on transportation expense an object to the shipper and enough to offset the additional time re quired In transit. "There arc reason? why the Panama route caanot be utilized with advantage In the commercial Interchange of com modities between San Francisco and the Atlantic States, and with the steady de Aelopmentj of transportation facilities be tween nations as well as between our own states, and those reasons are becom ing more potential every year. In brief, they are but two in numbec "First Loss of time in transit. "Second Increased freight cost made necessary by trans-shipment from steam er to car and from car to steamer. "These two factors are the obstacles; they are permanent for the time belns and cannot be overcome pntll the Panama Canal Ip completed. At present all freight shipped from San Francisco to New York vie. the Panama route has to be handled at least six times In transit, thereby in creasing the risk ot damage or breakage, while by overland railroad it is handled only two tlroey and makes the Journey In less than one-half the time consumed via Panama."

Congress may not revise the tariff at the next session, but there Is bound to be a great deal of tariff talk in the Senate and House next Winter, and this talk may lead to action. Six months ago the anti-revisionists, the stand-patters, as they are called, felt very safe. When there was threat of tariff, legislation last Wlnter.ythese men cot tosrether. made a firm stand against what was believed to be the attitude of the Administration, the tariff revision flurry passed over, and nothing was done. But there have been rather Impressive developments of late that tend to alarm the stand-patters, and they arc begin ning to wonder whether they can with stand another assault. First and fore most among the reasons that wilt be presented why the tariff should be re vised will be the enormous and growing, deficit in the Treasury. It cannot be de nied that the annual expenditures of the Government are away In excess of the receipts- and. were It not for the depos its that have been made with National banks, the situation would Indeed be se rious. It is variously estimated that the Treasury deficit will amount to' .ew. KA tn M9.0G0.tO0 at the close of the pres ent fiscal year. By June . J905 it Is estimated that the deficit will have grown to xK.eee.fttt to SMSw,m. unless some thing iff done In, the meantime to check it.

But Mr. Shaw, after asking for a defi ciency appropriation greater than the def icit, blames Congress for the deficit, be cause Congress voted money to actually pay the bills which had been unlawfully contracted by Government officials. The new law, if enforced, will work a hard ship in some Instances; it will tend to rigid economy in all departments, and will curtail many useless expenditures. Perhaps, by cutting- off excess expendi tures, the deficit may be largely reduced, but not entirely wiped out. There will still be enough deficit to form the basis of tariff talk. But. aside from the question of the deficit. It Is noted that Germany will repudiate her trade agreement with the United States, and Newfoundland Is en acting tariff legislation detrimental to this Government, because we would not enter into a reciprocity treaty with her. Probably before Congress convenes other facts will present themselves. While all this does not necessarily means that the tariff will be revised In a way to pro vide more revenue, the subject will be brought prominently to the front, and, next to railroad-rate legislation, will be the foremost topic of debate next Winter.
