"YELLOW PERIL" A BUGBEAR China and Japun Traditional EnemieN, and Latter' Cliief, ' Worry fstlie Attitude s of the Former. New York, Feb, 18. M. Kurino, the retiring Japanese minister at Bt.

Kurino said Japan, having gone to war with Russia for the defense of sovereignty of the Corean and Chinese empires, would re llglously respect that sovereignty if she were victorious. He added: "We pledge ourselves to the main tenance of the open door whwever the fortunes of war clothe us with ascen dency In the far east. We find commer cial Germany exploiting the bubear that If we humble Russia we shall pro ceed to slam the opeiidoor In the face Of Europe, and Japan will hoist the banner of Asia tor the Asiatics. Jr. pan haa no such intention. "It Is fundamentally opposed to our national ambition to rank as a world power In the general sense of the term. The idea that Japan plans the organ ization of the yellow race for the pur pose of crushing white power in Asia is a ridiculous fantasy. Whoever per mits himself to be frightened by the 'yellow peril' W ignorant of '.he irulf separating the Japanese and the Chi nese people. , "China, Indeed, regards the Japanese as traditional enemies and the attitude of China at this hour most disturbs Japan. I fear China will find It dlffl cult to maintain Internal order In the neighborhood of the fighting aone." M. Kurino added that Japanese fin ancea were never In a better condition ehan now. and that, unless the war lasted a long time, Japan would not need to see a foreign loan.

Washington, , Feb." 11 In connection with the threatened uprising in the Balkans, diplomats here have received the full text of a note recently sent by Turkey to the powers signatory to the treaty of Berlin . The note charges Bulgaria with fomenting all the trouble In Macedonia, saying; "The principality of Bulgaria does not change 1U attitude of active. though concealed, hostility, In spite of the efforts of the porte. In carrying through the stipulated reforms. Trust worthy investigations reveal the fol lowing facts: "1. In order to be able to arm all the villagers, guns as well as ammunition are constantly transported to tight Bulgarian frontier places. -2. The depots of three frontier di visions are provisioned and armed as for an imminent war. "8. The powder factories and artil lery workshops in Sofia work double time, and with double forces. "4. All the military, roads leading into Turkey along the entire Bulgarian frontier are Improved and widened and passable, especially for artillery. The frontier telegraph system is being es tablished, especially along the princi pal roads. "5. In all the districts preparations on 4 large scale are made for amassing "upplies. a vast commissariat and the furnishing of thousands of wagons by the population at tie first appeal. "6 and 7. The commissariat for all j the infantry regiments ie being estab lished in all the garrisons, and the ar tillery provisioned and manned as on a war footing. "8. Special regulations for requisi tions for the sustenance of the army have been Issued. "9. "An extraordinary credit was ap propriated ior the eventuality of the war. ' ;; .' v "10. All the mills and bakeries were Investigated in order to ascertain their highest capacity, and their proprietor were instructed to be ready for great army orders; besides, a military bakery was established. , . "11. Numerous fortifications were' erected at all strategic points and along the military roads. "12. All the bridges, especially on the Maritm river, were rebuilt, repaired ' and armed. ., 1 "IS. The arms of artillery and cav alry and the bayonets of the infantry were sharpened as for immediate ac tion." ' Bulgaria is charged with counten ancing public sale of dynamite to Macedonians, and the reform scheme of the powers in Macedonia is declared to be absolutely worthless, and Turkey is said to be convinced that peace and order can not be restored by paper re form conducted by persons ignorant of the complicated racial condition's of those regions. RUSSIA'S UNPREPAREDNESS IS OFFICIALLY EXPLAINED St Petersburg, Feb. 18. An official bulletin explaining the unpreparedness of Russia for war, and the necessity of patience by her people, has been Is sued heretofore. - It Is as follows:- "Eight days have now elapsed sii.ee all Russia was shaken with profound indignation against an enemy who sud denly broke off negotiations and by a treacherous attack endeavored to .ob tain an easy success In a war long de sired. The Russian. nation, with l.at- ural impatience, desires prompt ven geance and awaits ' feverishly , rewe from the far east. "The unity and strength of the Rus sian people leave no room for doubt that Japan will receive the chastise ment she deserves for her tieachery and privation to war at a time when our beloved sovereign desired to main tain peace among the nations. The conditions under which hostilities are being carried on compel us to wait with patience news of the success of our troops, wjileh can not occur before decialve actions are fought by the Bus- sian army. The distance of the ter ritory and the desire of the emperor to maintain peace were the cause cf the ' impossibility of more complete and earlier " preparations for wajK Much time Is now necessary in order to strike at Japan, but it was worthy of the dig nity and might of Russia, and, while sparing as much as possible the shed ding of the blood of her children, to inflict just chastisement upon the na tion which has' provoked the struggle. Russia must await the event in pa tience, being sure that our army Will avenge an hundredfold that provoca tion. "Operations on land must not be ex pected for some time yet, and we can not obtain early news from the theater of war. The useless sheddijig of blood Is unworthy the greatness and power of Russia. , v "Our country displays such unity and desire for self-sacrifice on behalf of the national cause that all true news from the scene of hostilities will be Imme diately due to the entire nation." DIFFERENCES OF RAILROADS ARE NOT TO BE SETTLED New Turk, Feb. 18. All negotiations for a settlement of the differences be tween the Pennsylvania railroad and Gould Interests have been broken oft, says the Times. Friends of President Cassatt, of the first named road, and of George J. Gould have, the paper con tinues, abandoned definitely all at temps to obtain a rapproaehement.. ' The immediate cause is understood to have been the absolute refusal of the Gould interests to abandon their project of reaching the Atlantic by an outlet of their own, The proposition of a settlement was based on the Idea that the Western Maryland, the road over which the Wabash was to get Into Baltimore, could be placed under the control of some other road in which both' the Pennsylvania and the Wabash could have an equal interest. For this ' purpose the Norfolk & Western has been selected as the most likely. From the very beginning of the negotiations the Gould interests balked at this prop osition, but it was believed that their objections could be overcome. Failure to do so is now admitted by person directly Interested and work on the Gould extension is progressing rapidly.
