The forecast of Russia's iKMitkm regarding Manchuria cabled by the Berlin correspondent of the Associated Press, January 11, coincides with tiic information received by the foreign legations here, and also strengthens the impression that war is unavoidable. At the Japanese legation no effort is made to conceal the belief that war is expected. The crux of the situation is still Russia's refusal to admit the rights of Japan to a voire In the settlement of the Mauchnrian affairs, which Japan considers one of its most vital interests, and to sustain which the Japanese government is determined to resort to arms if necessary. Peking, Ixmdon. Jan. II. All tho morning papers have editorials which attach great importance to the ratification of the commercial treaties between the Vniled Stales and China and bets cen Japan and China. The consensua of opinion in these editorials is that the ratification of the treaties implies an act of sovereignty by China equivalent to a declaration that Russia's occujia-tiu- n of Manchuria Is only temporary and fur special purposes. The morning Post aays; "That ia precisely the point for which Japan baa been contending and which Russia declined to discuss with licr. Jaitan la now in the advantageous position of championing a cause the United which Is also that of States." The Daily News thinks that China "lias displayed ominous courage in her recent diplomacy which will make for hax-ard- a pea owiug to the tremendous which war under the present would involve." The 8t. Petersburg corrceimndent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald, and the special cablegram from other correspondents at the Russian capital, say that the opinion is held that the ratifleation of the Japanese and China treaty came as a shock to the Russian foreign officials. The Daily Mall's Tokio dispatches ssys that Japans last note la couched in moat courteous language, but that y, it conveys, absolutely and nuequlva-cablJapan's inability to accept Russia's pruiKjsals, either as concerns Cores or Manchuria. The Times' Pekin correspondent "Russia's position in Pekin says: is now a remarkable one, and the r.hauge in China's attitude is striking. Rusla's wanton violation of all her pledges has Anally has Anally undeceived China and thrown her in the arms of Japan While Jaimn's preparations are comsinplete and her intelligence service gularly effective, Russia Is not ready.

Panama again today was the principal subject of consideration in tho Senate and, as on yesterday, ilie deliate was spirited. Mr. Carmack opened the proceedings in criticism of the President's course snd was followed by Mr. Spooner, the only other speaker of the day, in defense of the President's action and in defense of the Prealdnt himself as a "patriotic, brave and true man." Mr. Tillman frequently interrupted Mr. SMtoner and there were a number of sharp encounters between them. 'Vi' eu ihe Senate adjourned the Hanna question was still before it. and it was announced the discussion would he resumed tomorrow after tie deposition of the rostoflire departed ir. inquiry. Before the Panama subject wss taken up there was a brief but lively discussion between Messrs. Iatterson and Scott, of the labor troubles in Colorado. Senator Carmack said he advocated the discussion ot the Panama treaty in open Senate and said that while ho had the utmost respect for tbe office ot the President, he did not mean to conceal the excesses of I hat office, "and every act of the President in this wretched Panama business, he went on. has been in violation of law. of statutory and international law and of the constitullon of the United Slates." He then disrussed Mr. l.xidge'8 defense of the President's right to reeog-niis- e of other counthe indeiiendem-tries and spoke of the new Isthmian power aa "a hideous abortion of night gnd darkness, misnamed the Panama ' republic." He compared the course of President Jackson in tbe Texas case with that of President Roosevelt in the present and commended the former at the expense of the later. In that case he said there was no recognition until Mexico bad abandoned Ihe struggle. Aa for himself, when his eon-dushould he questioned he .would point to Andrew Jackson, and not to Theodore Roosevelt as his guide and he had no doubt of tbe result. But even the President had admitted that be was not following precedents and he waa acting under tbe requirements of necessity, that necessity which in this, as in other cases, knows no law. "The President." Mr. Carmack said, "had made it plain 1 hat lie never had intended to execute the Nicaragua provision! of the Spooner act. "Never for one moment.," he said, "did be consider any plan that had in It so little of the strenuous and sensational, as the execution of the law. Mr. Carmack contended "that the President hail not contented himself with recognition of Panama but had intervened. . "His acts were not simply offensive, not simply a cause for war, but they were war" he said. Aain-a matter of fact there never waa any surrection on the Isthmus." said Mr. Carmack.

The latter said ha would have entered into negotiation with Nicaragua and would have reported back to Congreaa for further instructions. He would then have said to Colombia: "You are a mangy lot: get off the flee of tbe earth. We'll take tho country and build the canaL" Thia remark caused an outburst of laughter, both on the floor of the ornate and in the galleries. After a minute's pause, Mr. Sitoonur said that while he could not accept the Senator's laughter, he congratulated him ou coming to the President's position. Mr. Tillman called attention to Mr. Spooner's hesitation, but tha latter rehe waa plied that it waa liecauM thinking how thankful we abould be that we did not have a President that would use to any nation auch language aa the Senator from South Carolina had used. Replying to tbe man and not to tho "senator," Mr. Tillman asked Mr. Spooner whether he would nut prefer a President who says In plain words, Get out of the way," rather than lo have 'mixed up in the bastard birth" of the republie of Panama. Continuing, Mr. Spooner warnod the Democrats that a "platform which imputes dishonor to the administration and to the brave and true man in the White House, will find no aympathy with the people of the United States, North or South. Replying to a question from Mr. Newlands, Mr. Spooner said that Con lumbia had sought the treaty, but that he did not consider the failure of that country to ratify the treaty waa a breach of International law. Mr. Tillman urged that Mr. 8ponner bad evaded the real question. What he wanted to know waa whether the Proaideut had the right to use the army and navy aa he had done. Oh. Lord." exclaimed Mr. Spooner. You will have to call on the Lord fteqnently ia thia matter,' retorted Mr. Tillman. "1 did not address the senator from South Carolina: my remark waa not personal," said Mr. Spooner. Mr. Spooner declared that the President had acted within the constitution and tbe law In all that he had done in Tannins. He said that he, for one, resented tbe Imputation that the President had been unscrupulous in hla dealings with this question.

It defines rights and privileges of the diplomatic and consular officers and of American cltlsena and especially miaslonariea residing in China and Insures the latter enjoyment of rights which they have not had in the past. The treaty also deals with trade marks, copyrights and patrols, ensuring them a fair degree of protection in China, a thing which they have had very little uf In the pasL Perhaim the provision of the treaty which Interests the public moat Is the opening of new localities in Manchuria to foreign trade the city of Mukden, anil the town of Antung (or Shaho. as It la frequently called) on tbe Yalu river. It la to bo noted the Japanese- -. Chinese treaty, tho ratifications of which were exchanged yesterday at Pekin, secures also to international trade the opening of tbe port of about 13 miles below Antung and at the mouth of the Yalu. It ia highly probable that the presence in these localities at an early date of American consular officers and those of other nationals lee, for all the nations having treaties with China sc quire by our treaty and that with Japan the right to establish consulates at theae places will greatly tend' to the establishment of order In thia borderland of China and will powerfully contribute towanl Insuring the principles of the open door' to which title country stands committed, as well as aiding In Insuring the Integrity of China and Its administrative control over ita Manchuria province.

President Roosevelt, be said, losea tbe power of reasoning and hla moral sense when he 1jciuucs involved in action, and he exclaimed: "Into what difficulties may be not be lead by this headlong man? He makes history aa he would order a melodrama, making ecriain that the star performer is always in u.e renter of the stage." He went on'' to say that the President's course In- this matter was not merely an aid, but a policy, and indicative of hia character.
