JAPAN DECLARES WAR ON KAISER Emperor's Ultimatum Is Unan swered by Germany. Bombardment of Tsing Tau Com menced by Nipponese United ' , States Neutrality Liked. Tokio The Yamato in an extra ed ition Monday says that the bombard ment of Tsing. Tau , by the Japanese fleet has commenced. This message was passed by the censors of the navy department. J , . Washington, D. C. The Japanese ambassador here announced that a state of war existed between Japan and Germany since noon Sunday (Jap anese time) and that a declaration of war was issued at 6 p. m, , ' Japan's declaration of war has reached Berlin, according to official reports received in Washington. Whether the declaration was sent by cable or wireless was not indicated. ' Viscount Chinda, in making his an nouncement, repeated assurances (re cently given by Great Britan that Japan's actions would be confined to the Far East. ' Aside from informal verba) ex changes between Viscount Chinda and Secretary' Bryan in Washington and between United Slates .. Ambassador Guthrie and the foreign office in To kio, however, there is nothing of rec ord so far to commit the Japanese to this limited field of war. The impression prevails here among diplomats, however, that the state ment of Chinda taken in connection with the speech in the Japanese Diet last week of Count Okuma, the Japan ese premier, is quite sufficient to bind the Japanese government to a strict performance of Jits obligations in re gard to the return of Kiau Chau to China and of the limitiation of the field of hostilities definitely set out in the British statement No mention was made by Ambassa dor Chinda of the status Of the rail roads in Shantung province directly or indirectly controlled by the Germans. It was said at the Japanese embassy here that in all probability the Japan ese army would content itself with the seizure of the railroads running inland to Tsinan, about 200 miles in length, because this was German' in every, re spect. It was not expected that any. attempt would be made to take posses sion of the system of railways lying between Tientsin and Nanking, be cause, although these were financed by Germans, they were nominally Chinese railroads. , Tokio The proclamation of the em peror who declared war on Germany has sent a thrill through the country. Japan's entrance upon the fullfillment of her obligations to her ally, Great Britain, responds to the popular will from one end of the land to the other. Cheering crowds assembled before the buildings occupied by the department of foreign affairs and the administra tion of the navy.1 ; Count Von Rex, the German ambass ador in Tokio, has received his pas sports. He probably will leave here for America. George W. Guthrie, the American ambassador, will repre sent Germany. - It is reported here that Gremany has been trying to transfer the German railroad in Shantung, China, to Amer ica. Tokio believes, however, 'that the United States, pursuing the policy of neutrality, will not accept Jhe offer. .' Girl Dance With Enemy. London A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Ostend says: ' When the Germans entered Brussels they removed the British and French flags and in the center they flew the arms of the city of Brussels with the colors of Belgium and Germany on the right and left i In their dealings with the shopkeep ers the German privates are compelled to pay cash, but the officers are giving checks which the shopkeepers are re quired to accept, although they regard the chances of cashing them as rather dubious. There have been'some lively scenes in the city. At evening the German Officers gather at the principal hotels, where they drink champagne and dance with the pretty girls of the town. The private sliders and the in habitants mingle freely, eating, drink ing and smoking together. ' Son Sent to His Death. Paris Colonel Folque, commander of a division of artillery at the front, recently needed a few men for a peril ous mission and called for volunteers. "Those who undertake this mission will perhaps never come back," he said, "and he who commands will prob ably be one of the first sons of France to die for his country in this war." A young graduate of a polytechnic school asked for the honor of leading. It was the son of Colonel Folque. The latter paled; but did not flinch. . His son did not come back. . Japan Not to Retain Port. -Kariiawaku, Japan Saburo Shima da, a member of the opposition in Par liament, in an address here, said that he believed Japan ' had no desire to keep Kiau Chau. He asserted that it was Japan's policy to prevent a stir-up in China. "The retaining of Kiau Chau," he said, "would mean the dan ger of a revolution in China, and in curring the ill Will of America. Japan is appreciative of Germany's contribu tion to Japanese civilisation, but it is resentful because the kaiser first raised the cry of the 'yellow peril.' " Italy May fight Austria. : Paris There are indications of acute diplomatic tension between Vienna and Rome, according to the correspondent of the Petit Parisien in the latter city. "Austria, it is declared, has reproach ed Italy for according facilities to the allied fleets in the Adriatic and it is possible that a declaration of war be tween Italy and Austria will be an nounced early next week. NORTHWEST MARKET : . ' REPORTS. :. "' ; Portland. Portland There was a big run of all kinds of stock at the North Port land yards. . The result on prices was a decline of a quarter on hogs and a weaker feeling in the cattle market. Sheep held firm. ' The best price obtainable in the cat tle market for steers was $7.15, only one load- going at that figure. Five loads were sold at $7 and two at $7.05. The bulk of sales were at $6.50 and $7. Good cows sold from $5.60 to $6, and calves at $8. ; ' '"' In the hog market the top price was $9.25, as against a $9.50 . market throughout most of last week. , . . , The larger part of the mutton trans actions were in lambs, most of which brought $6.

At the Merchants' Exchange session blue stem bids were advanced half a cent to 99 cents, and sellerB likewise raised their asking price to $1.05. No busi ness was put through during the ses sion.

" " ' Seattle The outlook for next week is continued low markets for fruit, the food staple that has not as yet partici pated in the excitement incident upon the war. Cantaloupes may be the sole exception, but these have been so low recently as to scarcely pay the cost of handling. . . Low apples are outlined for the bal ance of theseaaon, running far Into the cold storage regions with $11.25 predicted by jobbers as the top for the year. It is pointed out that even though the war should stop tomorrow, the season is too far advanced to per mit of shipping the fruit to the be sieged countries without appalling shrinkage. Growers in the'Wenatchee valley, with a fair price this season, would have gone on a cash basis. " Cantaloupes are scheduled to go higher next week. The market, glut ted for the past week with good; qual ity fruit, shows slight reduction in vol ume of receipts, and growers will make an attempt to get a profit from the fruit. Prices are 76c for ponies and $1 for standards. , .- j : . There has been much complaint as to the general quality of the peach offerings. Hanford has shipped in the best Elbertas, and while other sec tions are contributing, the standard is not what it has been in previous years. The quality of the Crawfords ' is not good.
