If She Refuses All Cvei lures and Continues Recalcitrant, All Responsibility for War and Its Consequences Will Rest With Her. Now York, Fob. 2.?In the bast informed political circles here the conviction is expressed that a peacetul dilution of the Itusso-Japiuiese affair is assured, cables the Paris correspondent of The Times. A diplomatic arrangement has been reached, the dispatch continues, between the French Minister of foreign affairs and the British ambassador here by virtue of which it is agreed that both the British and French governments will bring strong pressure to bear upon Japan to induce her to accept the terms of the now Russian note. The language in which this note is to lie couched l.as been submitted, the correspondent, says, to both the > ish and French foreign offices and is i .cognized to bo most conciliatory in effect. Should Japan refuse to yield to France and Great Britain's overtures other Huropean powers will add the weight of their persuasions to the khuio end. and then if Japan continues recalcitrant, all the responsibility for war and its consequences will rest with her and all Europe will w: her hands of the business. The recent entente cordiale between Franco and Clreat Rritaln has heon chiefly helped in permitting this understanding between the French and llrltiah diplomats as to the Russo-Japanese question to be brought about. NOTE STILL UNDELIVERED. Delay In Negotiations Increases Strain of the Tension. Tokio. Feb. 2.?The Russian note Is still undelivered, and the government and people of Japan do not posaeas any definite Information concerning tho tlmo of its arrival or its contents. Russia's delay, coupled with the announcement of continued movement of re-lnforceiuents into ittanchuria, increane the strain of tho tonsion, while It diminishes the already slight prospects for peace The government has been urged to dlspatoh a pre-emptory note to St. Petersburg, threatening to declare war if refused immediate satisfaction in the way of reply to its previous note, but ?UU tfce Kurotfiu&t U naUSfciU* r\rvrvr\ryr^rvr^r>rvTV ...TWO IE at our store which i lave two more comi liy Flour at bargain hich means 20 to 2! : Also Two oming.

The Japanese show a remarkable 1 outward calm, and no scenes similar I to those in America and England before recont wars were witnessed. There are occasional demonstrations and ovucropplngs of popular feeling, , but the casual visitor to the large cities can sec but little out of the ordinary in the disposition and behavior of tho people. There is, however. an undercurrent of desperate determination running the nation's length and breadth, more imposing in many ways than a demonstrative emotion. The people have counted the cost and made final preparations so that if forced to fight they are capable of waging and sustaining war in a manner that will surprise the world. Resigned as President.

WAGNOl KING EDWARD VII OPENS PARLIAMENT Usual Ceremonial Since Hie Accesion to Throne. WEATHER WAS UNFAVORABLE.

London, Feb. 2.?King Edward opened parliament today with all the ooremonial that has been in vogue since his accession to the throne. None of the familar outdoor features were lacking. The weather conditions, however, were too depressj in g to permit of much enthusiasm Early in the day occurred the time, honored search of the vaults of the | house of parliament for conspirators and later came the crowds under a forest of umbrellas, always eager for auything in the way of pageantry, but their ranks were thinned by the inclement weather. In the passage of th<| royal procession along the troop-lined route from Buckingham Palace to St. Stephens there was no novelty introduced and the effect was sadly marred by the drenohed appoarance of the cortege. Half a dozen state carriages with the suites preceded, the ornate coach of state drawn by eight cream-colored Haneyerrlans and bearing the king and queen. The procession was surrounded by the usual retinue of equerries, outriders, yeoman of the ' guard, exorcising their ancient right to be in ciose attendance on the sovereign and an escort of household cav airy. The prince and princess of Wales had a small procession of their own from Marlborough house. After entering the house of lords by the royal gate beneath the Victoria tower, their majesties were robed and preceded by the state regalia, passed In procession to where the lords had assembled to hear the king's speech. Many peeresses were present and ; their feathers, jewels and brilliant dresses, with the varl-colored robes of the legislature of the upper house and the brilliant diplomatic uniforms, combined to make an effective scene. Ambassador Clioate was confined to his house by a slight col dand was unable to attend. The embassy was represented by Secretary White and Second Secretary Carter.

Much as this last circumstance was to be deplo^fcd, it must never-the-less bo a matter for congratulation that tlio misunderstandings with which ancient boundary treaties, made in ignorance of geographical ' facts are so fertile, have in this caae ' been finally removed from the field of controversy. The crisis in tho Far East as touched upon briefly by the king's speech was as follows: ?T i -.1- - J ti. ..
