Aetinz on in structions from his government. Dr. aiotono. : tne Japanese minister to rTanee, called on Foreign Minister Del easse this evening and submitted rep resentations on behalf of? Japan con cerning the presence of the Bnssian Paeifie squadron in Kamranh bay. The official communication issued after the meeting states that Minister Motono's action was not .in the character of a formal protest against the alleged vio lation .of neutrality, but was to ob tain assurances that France' would ob serve strict neutrality. Notwithstanding the- official version the evident intention of Motono's mis sion is in the nature of a protest. For eign Minister . Delcasse responded to the representations of the Japanese minister by .pointing out that precau tions had been , taken to preserve neu trality.: Delcasse 's assurances sought fo allay the apprehensions of Japan, which he maintained had not been jus tified by aay specific facts. The exact terms of J span 's representations were not disclosed, but it is understood that while having -the usual courteous form of diplomacy, they set forth that se rious apprehensions had been aroused by the stay of the Russian warships in Kamraah bay and an earnest desire that Frenc'n neutrality be placed be yond all doubt. The terms of the French1" response, although not given out, tend to give ample assurances on all the questions raised. Beply May Avert Complications. It remains for Tokio, to which the French reply -waf sent tonight, Jo say whether the assurances are eonsidere sufficient. -The opinion prevails here that Delcasse's answer is of a nature to " avert serious compile itions.

Notwithstanding the emphatic protests and shrieks ot indignation from the jingo press, the British government officials decline to admit anything in toe far eastern sit uation as cause for excitement or that show, it; approaches an acute stage. In other words, ; the foreign office as sumes the attitude of a much interest ed spectator of an intensely dramatic situation, approaching a climax Jn which, by some mischance, Great Brit ain might be called on to play a part. The announcement ittthe 1'ans ms- Eateoes 10 the Associated Press that 1. Motono, the Japanese minister, bad called on Foreign Minister' Delcasse with regard to the question of neutral ity has not changed the view of . the officials at the foreign office, where it was pointed" out today that Japan prob ably had not made a formal pretest, but simply desired . assurances that! France would- continue to maintain its neutralify and not afford the Russians any advantage - inconsistent wun France's responsibilities , as a neutral party.

NEW YORK. Anril 20. The cloud of suspicion -and distrust, which has been gathering over the stock market during the whole week, broke today with some violence. The decline was contested, in the early, stages, but it gathered force as it was extended. The quick exhaustion of the buying demand on the, occasional rallies was sufficient evidence to the professional trader that tne speculative position was still vul nerable. They returned to the attack accordingly again and again and on each successive slump, the weight of the offerings dislodged was greater. 'i he market proved to be honeycombed with ; stop-loss orders,! which had been greatly, increased as confidence in the stability of the market was impaired. The amount of the. decline was suffi cient to wipe ont some of the margins of tne more substantial classes and, in all or tne classes of speculative hold ings, to impair the margin to such an extent as to lead to a very general call for additional collateral. The principal influence in the trading probably was 41. V A. " .

Sarvtng Five-Tear Sentence in Peniten tiary for Passing Saws Into Marion County Jail to Enable John Daly, and Others to Escape. George II, Barker, who is serving a five-year sentence in the penitentiary from this county, asks Governor Cham berlain to pardon him in order that he may be abfeto secure work during the coming harvest and earn suflicent money with which to return to his home ; in Detroit, Michigan. Barker was corn m it- tod to the penitentiary from this coun ty in June, 1902, upon the plea of gou ty to the ehanre of passing a steel saw into the county jail for the purpose of aiding Joihn Daly aim ethers in maaing their escape.!

INNOCENCE. Ofllcials Will Maintain Strong Guard to Prevent Possibility of Escape, 1 Prison Authorities Refuse, to Give Up Monte to Sheriff, Both Desiring to Keep Jurisdiction Over film Wright May Attempt Alibi Qante at Trial. Today being the time set by Judce Burnett for the arraignment of Harry wngbt and Charles Monte, the accused men will be taken before , the court at o'clock this afternoon to hear , the grand - jury indictment read, by which they are - charged with l the crime of murder in the first legree. The specuie charge against Wright, and Monte is that .they assiste! and abetted Harry ITracy and Dave Merrill- in killing Guard Frank Ferrell on June 9, 1JW2, at the time of the sensational prison treaa, Dy smuggling the guns into th penitentiary foundry with which the bloody deeI was committett. If the state succeeds in establishing this fact by its testimony, Wright and Monte, in the eyes of the law, will be equally aa guilty as Tracy and Merrill and will be made to suffer the death penalty J j want Tnem mnisnea. Harry Wright occupies a strong cell in the Marion county jail and has main- ained a strict silence since be was brought here from the Walla Walla j penitentiary by Sheriff Cnlver. lie is not allowed the freedom of the corri dors, as the sheriff proposes to use every possible precaution to prevent the; prisoner's escape. ' Wright, how ever, is used to close confinement, as he had been kept locked in 1 cell in the Walla Walla penitentiary for near ly a year, or ever since he was identi fied by the Washington prison officials as me man wanieu in uregoa ior xur nishing the guns to Tracy and Merrill. The Washington officers are equally as anxious to see the guilty party or parties punished aa those of Oregon, since two officers of that state, Police man K. E. Breese of Seattle and Dep uty Sheriff Charles ' Raymond of Sno homish county also fell victims to Tracy fa . true aim with Mis 30-30 Wn cheeter during his desperate flight throngh' the , two states. ' For this rea son Wright was kept closely confined and his . possible escape . guarded on every side. - "Will Not Relinquish Custody. Charles Moste, who is serving a six year term . ia the Oregon- penitentiary for burglary, will not. be torned over to Sheriff Culver, as the prison officials and the Marion count v officers prtmese to hold concurrent jurisdiction over the convict. The Sheriff will go to the pen itentiary this afternoon and, accom panied by a prison guard, will bring Monte to the court house. After the prisoner has been arraigned upon ; the indictment he will be returned to the penitentiary, where he will remain tin til the case is called for trial, probably during tho latter ..part of May. At no time will the accused man tie given entirely into the custory of the sheriff, until be is convicted upon the charge brought against him by tha Marion county officers. If the state fails to prove him guilty ' he will be kept in confinement at the penitentiary until the unexpired three years of his six- year - term for burglary nave been served. As a matter of precaution extra guards will be stationed in and around the court bouse wtiile Monte is being arraigned hi court this afternoon, as neither Sheriff Culver nor the peni tentiary authorities propose to take any chances with the convict. , Protests His Innocence, It is presumed both men will enter pleas of not guilty, although it is said that Monte confessed to tho part be took in the crime some ; time ago. Wrieht. however, protests his innocence and says he will be able te prove that he was in Seattle at the j time Tracy and Merrill escaped i from prison and had been there for some time- prior te that date! Before he was brought to this city he denied seeing ITracV after the sensational break, but admitted calling at a bouse near Seattle one day just a few moments after Tracy had! ymiw we piacc. lie risq wliu lutLton. AltS - a .ti aT : if . -'. . . S . . V omcers at iinereni iimea were jub acrosa the road from the desperate con vict and remarked that they must have been blind or they surely would have seen him. These statements indicate that .Wright kept in close touch with Tracy during the latter's flight from justice and will undoubtedly prove damaging to Lis defense. BECOBD CLIP AND PEICE.
