London, Jan. 13.—The Tinies’ Pekin correspondent, cabling under yester day’s date, says the Chinese minister at Tokio, at the request fo the Japanese foreign office, telegraphed the following communication to Prince Ching: “The second Russian reply to the Japanese proposals has been received at Tokio, but it is unfavorable and cannot lie accepted by Japan, who will, unless Rusisa recedes, be compelled to prompt ly resort to arms. “In view of such an eventuality, Japan urges and expects China to main tain the strictest neutrality, topreserve order throughout the empire, to guard foreigners resident in the interior, and to take special care to preserve order in the provinces of Shantung and Yunan, lest foreign powers might seize the pre text of disorder and make aggressive movements therein.” The correspondent says that the dis patch lias deeply impressed the Chinese who now believe war to be inevitable.

FAIR IS INDORSED SENATE COMMITTEE ON EXPOSITIONS COMMENDS UNDERTAKING Sends Mitchell's 1905 Fair Bill to the Senate and Aska Favorable Consid eration-Appropriation of $2,125,000 Is Olven Full Sanction-Few Changes Were Made In the Measure. Washington, Jan. 3.—“An event so striking and so romantic in its charact er, involving so much of heroism and sacrifice on the part of those engaged in it, and resulting in benefits so great and enduring to our country, is, in the judgment of your committee, well worthy of commemoration by this gov ernment.” With these words, and after fully re viewing the purposes and plans of the Lewis and Clark centennisl exposition, the senate committee on industrial ex positions today unanimously com mended Senator Mitchell's bill to the favorable consideration of the «enate. The committee makes no material amendments in the bill as it was origi nally introduced, and makes no cut whatever in the appropriation, the amount called for remaining at $2,125,• 000. The bill was altered in only one es sential feature. Section 9, which car ries a lump appropriation of $1,500,000, as direct government aid, is amended to provide that this money shall be ex pended under direction of the national commission and not under direction of the Lewis and Clark corporation. The committee found that in every instance where the government had aided expo sitions, the government funds were ex pended by the government commission, which was under control of the presi dent. The exposition corporation is not subject to this control. Therefore the change. Section 20 was amended to provide that expenses incurred by consular, military and naval officers in the Ori ent, in the collection of exhibits for the exposition, should be defrayed from the $1,500,000 appropriation. The only other change in the bill, aside from alteration in phraseology, occurs in section 4, which provides for the' appointment of a board of arbitra tion to whom all matters of difference arising between the national commis sion and the exposition company shall be referred. Instead of allowing the exposition corporation and the state commission two members each on thiB commission, membership is restricted to one member each, making the total four instead of six. The right of the commission to designate a fifth member in case of deadlock is also provided. WANTS TO JOIN PANAMA. Island of San Andrea Tires of Colom bian Oppression. Colon, Jan. 13.—The schooner Her ald, which arrived here yesterday even ing from Bocas del Toro, brought a commissioner from the island of San Andres who will endeavor to obtain the annexation of San Andres to the repub lic of Panama, owing to the dissatis faction of the inhabitants of the island at the recent oppressive actions on the part of Colombian authorities. The commissioner will go to Panama and confer with the junta. He says 400 Colombian troops are now in garrison on the islands of San Andrea and Provi dence, and that more soldiers are ex pected momentarily. The dissatisfac tion, he adds, is general throughout the islands. San Andres does much business with the United States in co coanuts, about 20,000,000 of these nuts being shipped there annually. Panama is desirous of annexing San Andres and Providence, but it is be lieved that steps in that direction at the present moment would be inop portune. The United States marines encamped at Empire and Bis Obispo are kept busy cleaning np the grounds around the camps, which are located on a healthy hill close to the railroad. The marines have also cleaned the canal company’s houses, all of which now present a clean and smart appearance. Battleships Make Ouam. Washington, Jan. 13.—A cablegram today from Rear Admiral Evans, com manding the Asiatic fleet, announced the arrival of the battleships Ken tucky, Oregon and Wisconsin at Guam from Honolulu on their way to Subig bay. It is expected that the cruiser squadron, consisting of the New Or leans, Albany, Cincinnati and Raleigh, will arrive at Guam today or tomorrow. The cruisers left Honolulu in company with the battleships, but, unlike the latter, stopped en route at the Midway islands.

Flfty-Four Lives Sacrificed to Storm Bo> Iwoon Mattle and Victoria, Seattle, Jan. 12.—The Seattle-Vie- toria steamer Clallam was lost early this morning midway between Smith island and Dungeness spit, at least 54 persons losing their lives in the disas ter. Every person who put off in the lifeboats, lowered when it was apparent the steamer could not live out the ter rific gale that was blowing, drowned. Only those who stayed by the ves sel, fighting against the sea for posses sion of the craft, were Baved. These persons were compelled to fight desper ately for their lives, rushing forward when the vessel turned on her beam ends, clinging frantically to the rails and finally slipping into the water onto a life raft that had been lowered. Subsequently they were picked up by the tugs Sea Lion and Holyoke. It was not the fault of the command ing officers nor the men in charge of the life boats that the passengers who took to the boats were lost. When the life boats were loweied land was within Bight, yet the impotent Clallam was unable even to make headway against the gale. Prudence dictated that the passengers and such of tbe crew needed to navigate the boats be given the opportunity of saving their lives by the life boats. That they failed to reach shore was due entirely to the fact that human strength was but a feeble protest against the fury of the elements. Had all the passengers and crew re mained on board, it is undoubtedly true that most of them would have been lost when the boat turned over and gave up the struggle. Others stronger and better able to care for themselves drowned with the relief tugs standing by waiting to take them aboard. CAN’T STIR AMERICA. General Reyes Realizes His Mission Is « Failure and Will Soon Leave. Washington, Jan. 12.—Convinced of the determination^if the United Staten not to retrace a step on the isthmus, and of the consequent failure of his mis sion, General Rafael Reyes, Colombian special envoy, is ready to leave Wash ington. Indeed, he informed the As- sociaed Press at noon today that he would leave for Baltimore at 4 o’clock to consult a specialist, and that his re turn was uncertain. He did not take that train, however, and at a late hour tonight was at hie hotel. General Reyes said tonight he was yet hoping for an answer to his last re quest that the correspondence be sent to the senate, and he coud not say definitey when he would leave Wash ington. He added that when the time came for going he would officially take leave of the president and other officials with whom be bad come in contact. In a long cablegram which General Reyes dispatched to General Marroquin he has reviewed the negotiations at Washington and informed the Bogota government that after doing everything in his power to save something from the wreck he has failed. General Reyes expects, in view of the high feel ing prevailing in Colombia, that it will lie very difficult to restrain his people longer. CANADA ASKED TO JOIN. Hay Moves for International Hatchery on Fraser. Salmon Washington, Jan. 12.—Secretary of State Hay has determined to ask the Canadian government to join in a con ference looking to the establishment of international fish hatcheries on ' the Fraser river, in British Columbia, for the propagation of salmon. The con ference, if agreed upon, probably will lie participated in by tbe United States fish commissioner, the fish commission er for the state of Washington, and offi cials in charge of the department of fisheries and marine for the Dominion of Canada. The plan suggested has been urged for more than a year by Senator Foster, of Washington, who has called the at tention of the slate department to the fact that, unless some heroic course is taken, the salmon supply will be ex hausted. Millions of dollars are in vested in salmon canning establish ments in the United States and Canada, which are supplied almost entirely by the spawn from the Fraser river. The methods employed by both the United States and Canadian canningcompswree have been the subjects of disputes be tween the two governments. Armenians Create Tsrror.
