WILL BRING STRONG
PRESSURE TO BEAR
European Powers to Try and
Influenco Japan.
TO ACCEPT RUSSIAN NOTE.
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,

j waiting, although it is manifest if the
j delay is much more prolonged, it will
! act energetically.
, Events will move rapidly when the
; note finally is received, if it is mateI
rially unsatisfactory, and the prospect
j for additional negotiation is slight,
j probably Japan will dispatch an ulti!
matum before striking.
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.
Butte, Mont., Feb. 2.? William Schallorr
has telegraphed from New York
] that he lias resigned as president of
' the Anaconda Copper company and
manager of the Amalgamated proper'
ties in Montana. The resignation was
tendered some time ago, but rejected,
and this time is unreserved and to tako
j effect immediately. The reason given
is pressure of private business. No
' intimation of his successor is given.
Mr. Schallon has been in New York
since Dee. 14. He has been president
of the Anaconda company and in
oharge of another amalgamated interests
here since the Amalgamated com
; pany was organized.
Wholesale Dealers Up In Arms.
New York, Feb. 2.?Wholesale liquor
dealers and importers throughout the
United States are reported to be up
in arms against the statement of the
National Retail Dealers' association
announced some time ago to raise
91,000.000 as a defense fund to help
tho retailers to fight legislation aimed
at them. Reports have been receiv,
ed trom many sections declaring that
meetings of the liquor dealers strongly
opposed the fund idea as a scheme
for taxation without representation, as
the money was to be turned over in
tact to the national association.
Transport Sails With Troops.
Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 2.?The United
States transport Sumner sailed
from here today with the Seventh and
i Nineteenth batteries of artillery. A
battery of Cuban artillery, trained by
American officers at Havana, arrived
here Sunday and has occupied the
Punta Cords and Cogaa parts. No

KING EDWARD VII
OPENS PARLIAMENT
Usual Ceremonial Since Hie
Accesion to Throne.
WEATHER WAS UNFAVORABLE.
Ranks of Those Who Attend Opening
Were Greatly Thinned by the In
element weather?Time Honored
Custom Searching for Conspirators.
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.
On th e arrival of the members of
the house of commons the king read
the speech from the throne.

the verdict was ravorable to the British
claim and on others it had been
adverse. 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. .. I 1
? u??o naitnm wun concern ttl? 1 ,
oourse of negotiations between the '
governments of Japan and Russia in
regard to their respective Interests In
China and Corea, and a disturbance of
the peace of those regions could not
but have deplorable consequences. Any
assistance which my government can
usefully render toward the promotion
of a pacific solution will be gladly afforded."

THE 8CHAEFER MURDER.
MWse Love, Dead Girl's Roommato,
Talks of Tragedy.
Bedford, lad., Feb. 2.?M-lss Bva
Love, roommate of Miss Sehaofer, has
fcooordlng to the detectives, told all
rbe knows of the icidents prior to
Miss Bchoefer's death that might have
thrown any light on the identity of the
murderer. ,
It has developed that Miss Love
knew nothing of value. Having exhausted
what they had hoped would
bo a source of valuable information,
(he detectives now admit that they
are wholly at sea. Miss Love has issued
a signed statement in reply to insinuations
made by one or two newspapers.
In it she says:
"I know absolutely nothing of the
xhurder of my roommato, Miss Sohaefer.
I have not the least suspicious
olroumstance that would point in the
direction of the^uurderer, or I would
net hestitato to tell it. Ttfefe
would be no need of dragging me be
fore a board of inquiry to get from
me any statement that would throw
the least bit of light on the crime. 1
loved Miss Schaefer, and she loved
me. If she had any secret that would
cause her death, she dfrt not tell me
1 am sure I had no secret fhat in an)
way would bring injury to her. Th<jr?

Iy handled, and there must be a la*

right conselonce/'
Mayor Smith received 2G letters to
iay about the murder, but none con
fained any information. The naayoi
said:
"In spite of all the work we hav<
done, of all the different lines we hav<
Investigated and of all the olewc w<
have traced down, we are as far awai
from the murder as over. We are ui
against it, but we are not going to giv?
p."
The detectives today are sweatlnj
auspicious characters. Nothing hai
been discovered. The movements o
very boarder at Mrs. Johnson*!
boarding house on the night of thi
murder have been learned, but notKIni
of importance has resulted.
