England is dal ly giving evidence of her fear for tho future of Japan. Statesmen say the combined political and financial prob- leni confronting the mikado s country has suddenly loomed up as a menac ing force, and that fewpersons who have not seen Japan's bulance sheet appreciate tho Imminent danger. Events of the past few days have shown the world how threatening tho situation really Is.

Portland. Jan. 17. Edward Put nam, a stockman of Fossil, was tho only witness at HiIh mornings' ses sion of the trial of Hall and Stelwer. lie Identified masses of letters which passed between him and Hall and others to show that Hall wall famil iar with the operations of tho Hutto Creek Land Company. Tho prosecu tion will contend that these letters should huvo been acted upon by Hall and that ho should have prosecuted tho alleged land grabbers. The de fense will contend that the letters ot Hall and Mays show they asked Put nam to keep them Informed and to take the mutter up with tho special ugents of tho land office. In his opening address in the Hall Mays conspiracy trial yesterday Fran cis J. lleney charged that: Hall wanted re-appointment as Untied States district attorney and sought election ot Senators Mitchell and Fulton to that end. Ho forced ' Slato Senator W. W. Stelwer to vote for Fulton in Febru ary, 1H0G, by threatening Stelwer and others with criminal prosecution (Hall then being United States dis trict attorney) for Illegally fencing of public lands. Fulton was. a parly to this deal with Stelwer and used his Influence In Stclwer's behttlf to cause Hall to Institute civil proceedings against Stelwer instead of criminal.

If the mikado falls to carry this tax system to a successful end the country may h'e to resort to bank ruptcy proceedings, but England would hardly stand hy and see her ally adopt such a measure, as Eng land has vaHt interest in Japan. England would regard tho merest possibility of Jnpan's suspension with tho keenest alarm. Tho recent res ignations of the mikado's cabinet are attributed wholly to flnunclul diffi culties.
