Russia will Ignore Japan's newly negotiated treaty with Korea guaranteeing the Independence and Integrity of the hermit kingdom, and has so Informed tho United States. Japan, It may bo slated, assumes practirally the same attitude of indifference toward Russia's protest to the powers, which, on high authority. It Is declared, will be Ignored by the Toklo government. In diplomatic circles Secretary Hay's announcement of the negotiation of the Japan-Kore- a treaty caused a sensation. While tbe treaty, It Is said, opens possibilities for new International complications In the Far Eastern war, the diplomatic corps here continues firm In the belief that there is no ground for apprehension at present that the war will extend beyond the two belligerents and Korea. It will not surprise diplomats conversant with Japan's plans to see an early announcement from Toklo declaring that practically all Korean ports will be opened eventually to tho commerce of the world.

Don Jaime De Bour bon, ton of Dim Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, declared In an Interview today that he waa enthusiastic to give his swnrd and life for Russia and the Czar, Among other , things he said: "Russia must win in the Far East, as the white race must absolutely maintain Ita moral and material preponderance over the yellow race. The Cur did all he could to prevent the war and deeply grieved at the conflict which nobody In Russia expected. Speaking of the military situation, Don Jaime said the soldiers of Russia were strong, capable of great resistance, and so well disciplined that even after a defeat they preserved their faith In their officers. The Japanese soldiers he characterised as agile, small, without resisting powers, nervous and Impatient to attack the enemy blindly and uld they would euily thrown off discipline.

In the event of the defeat of this motion and the acceptance of the whole building program a motion Is to be made by Representative Meyer to the to have tbe hill naval committee with the following instructions: "First, to provide for a coaling station and dock at Olangapo, P.

After declaring that he did not consider a conflict likely, but that France must be prepared for such a contingency, M. Pelletan said the French fleet was In excellent condition. The navy had at its disposal five armored cruisers of the most modern type and five more such vessels would be ready to be commissioned within a few weeks. Before the end of the year the cruiser Dupctit Thotisars and the battleship Gam beta would be ready for service. The minister of marine said he would have liked to bare had more small craft, but he was restricted In this by the naval appropriation. All the torpedo boat destroynra on the stocks were approaching completion. He said he had ordered six now submarines, to be five or six times larger than the present type. Attention had bren given to the subject of coaling stations, he continued, and the appropriations for the stations at Blzerta, Corsica and Algeria has been Increased. Regayllng the Far East, the minister said It was impossible to weaken France's fleets In Europe, but that four torpedo boat destroyers were being sent out there. Measures taken before the war for the defense of Indo-Chiwould make any attempted landing practically Impossible. The general condition of France's warships and stores left nothing to he desired, he continued, and her stocks of coal considerably exceeds tho regulation requirements. na TO FLOAT A WAR LOAN.

The Senate spent tbe greater part of today, discussing an amendment to the agricul tural appropriation bill, striking out the House provision giving authority to the secretary of agriculture to Inspect Imported food products when misbranded or suspected of impurity. The amendment was suggested by Mr. Aldrich, who said the provision opened the way for an encroachment by the secretary of agriculture on the duties of the secretary of the treasury and was calculated to cause a duplication In the service of the two officials. Messrs. Lodge, fteveridge, Patterson and others supported Mr. Aldrich. Mr. Proctor, In charge of the bill, defended the provision and had the aid of Messrs. Dolllver, McComas, Bacon and others. The discussion was closed by substituting the provision of the set of 1900 bearing on the same point. This solution of the program was suggested by Mr. Proctor sod was accepted by alL Consideration of the bill practically was concluded, but final action on it was postponed until tomorrow In order to allow an inspection of It as amended. Mr. Perkins said that California was much interested In proper Investigation into the Impurity of Imported foods and he mentioned Incidentally that cotton seed oil was frequently Imported as olive oil. Mr. Tillman Inquired whether olive oil was any sweeter or better than cottonseed oil and Mr. Perkins replied that while cotonseed oil might suit the Kalian taste of some people, he insisted the article should be properly labeled. ."Docs the senator know California champagne from the European article?" asked Mr. Tillman, and Mr. Per"If the senator from kins replied: South Carolina will bring on the samples I will let him know. This caused a laugh at Mr. Tillman's expense and Mr. Perkins added that if he ever should take anything stronger than coffee he would not he disloyal to fhe products of his own state. Mr. Lodge protested against a dupliHe cation of the two departments. also said- - there had been a duplication of the various survey organizations of the country at a cost of (150,000,000, and, be added, we have not got a correct map of the United States. Mr. Dolllver said there was no foundation for the criticism that the bill was crude and could not be understood. The trouble Is. he said, "that the law is too well understood In this country and In Europe and that it is enforced as It now stands. Several of the advocates of Mr. Aldrich's amendment having indicated that the provision of the act of 1900 bearing on the question at issue would he acceptable to them, Mr. Proctor withdrew the House provision and sub- ii.nipany from A 4 St. Petersburg, sent at 11 o'clock 4 tonight, says that on February 23 ilia Japanese attempted to send 4 4 four steamers AIM niih cxplo-- 4 A sires among the Russian fleet in 4 4 Port Arthur harbor.
