While the Russian government understands the situation in Korea to threatening, be disturbed and it has no information of a situation gave enough to warrant the landing of a large Japanese force there. Russia freely admits Japan's right, under existing convent ions, to land in Korea a reasonable number of sollaud-ludi ens to preserve order, but the of au army at this stage of the negotiations could not be viewed with n nt i- g cqusmiuity. M. Kurino is in no way anxious because of the delay in Russfa'a response to the latest Japanese note, and aaya that Japan is not pressing for an immediate reply.

Many Labor Union, embracing all tbo labor unions in St. Louis, resoluiions were adopted endorsing the strike recently declared liy the drivers for liverymen and undertakers, and denouncing the course of Governor Dockery and Chief of Police Klely in taking sm-- rigid cognizance of tbe strike and permitting n men lo be sworn in as private watchmen, empowered lo carry arms. The resolutions declare that tbe action of these two officials has caused the public to misunderstand Ihe strike and to helieve that it is attended with danger uf life and properly instead of being simply an enforcement of demands for higher wages and a limited number of working hours. All union men are urged lo secure satisfaction at tbe polls when tlie election comes. The members of the Liverymen's snd Undertaker's association are also declared to lie unfair and nninn men are called uimtt lo refrain from imtronixing tne association in any way.

Necessity of Despatch, RED LIOHT A - HAPPENING Ex-Soldi- er Murders Woman and Stabs Himself, Rt Louis, Jan. 24. The Louisiana Purchase Exixisitlon stands ready and ia waiting for the full and genera) installation of exhibits. The point has been reached whero the management of the exposition is no longer occupied with the rapid advancement toward completion of the buildings,' but instead, it. now lays particular stress uiion the importance uf tho prompt shipment of exhibits, especially those from domestic exhil hors. Officials of the exhibition make the statement that one thing of paramount importance to assure the successful and auspicious opening of the World's Fair is the immediate commencement of domestic exhibitors to ship as rapidly as ran be. Owing to the unprecedented participation by both foreign ami domestic exhibitors, vast amounts of exhibits have been and are now in, course of arrangement and collection. Tho time for tho opening of 1 ho. exposition is rapidly approaching, but apparently the knowledge of the fact Is not causing the shipments of exhibits to be rushed forward with the promptness and disiiatch that is absolutely essential to insure ihe rapid delivery of the cars to the World's Fair site, and to avoid imssibie congestion in the handling of tbe cars after they have reached Si. Iiuis. Tbe World's Fail management has devoted more than ordinary attention to preparations for tho handling of cars, and the arrangements sro now completed. Adequate railroad facilities are ready, the warehouses have all been erected and all the building are in such a slate of completion that installation of exhibits can be commenced immediately. What tbe management now most ardently desire is the prompt shipment of exhibits from the different parts of the country, to begin immediately. Otherwise, if they lie delayed, congestion in traffic handling after St. Louis is reached is almost an assured condition. it is estimated that from 25,000 to 30.000 cars of domestic exhibits alone will reach St. Louis during the last of March and tlie forepart of April. As tho World's Fair opens on April 30th It will lie difficult to handle this enormous influx of freight at the last moment. Already foreign exhibits are en mule uion the water and foreign countries are concentrating their, endeavors to have their exhibit ship-ments arrive early, to secure prompt handling ami delivery at Hie World's Fair groundt : enabling more dWihera-- j (inn and ihnn.iigliuess In the installation in th budding. eiiSriisTioss MLIJMP8ED MS MM a safe-keepin- g. e g . s i- , i ue 1 te , Much of Property. but Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 24.
