The two outsme physicians left the city immediately after the consultation, in view ol the lateness of the hour of the consultation, it was decided that the regular evening visit of the attending physicians should lie cancelled In order to give the pal lent more rest and avoid the excitement of another examination.

Elmer Dover, but pretexts have been made to shift his attention from business matters. Mr. Dover has expected to go to Chioago to attend an important meeting of a of the Republican committee, but remained here on account of the senator's condition. Mr. Hanna was not told the reason for Mr. Dover's remaining here, and believes that it was due ip Blness In bis secretary's family. He has made frequent inquiries upon this point and Mr. Dover, to avoid haring the senator's attention focused on business mat ten, has found H neiesfiar to avoid feeing the senator, except once since the Illness reached the serloud stage.

Wilson. Mrs. Ostulund wra born in Sweden In 1824. emigrated to America in 1874. tame immediately to Utah, and settled with her husband In Sandy. The husband has been in poor health for many years, so the support of the family tell largely upon the deceased. Betug strong in character and robust in body, she cheerfully assumed that heavy and held out wouderfuiy until the last . Only Friday she ai use from her bed end made an attempt io perform her usual household duties, remarking. when her husband remonstrated with her, that she could not stand to waste the time by lying in bed.

Furthermore, tha Fraaco-Britls- h recent arbitration treaty has been productive of a strong sentiment of amity between the two nations, and this is thought to counteract much of the former aentimgpt favorable to Russia. Besides being cm tea la the treaty, M. Delcasae, Lord Lansdowno and others of the highest Influence In British and French official life have lately emphasised this restoration at friendly relations, and there la reason to believe that these exchanges have rasslted in a pretty definite understanding that under ae circumstances will either France or Gieat Britain he drawn into the conflict That the United State might possibly be the second power to attack Russia, thus necessitating French action, fas regarded as an extremely remote possibility and pHctlcally Impassible and, furthermore, the cordiality between France and the United States 1a a powerful offset to any French sentiment toward Russia. One of the beat posted authorities said tonight that, notwithstanding any alliance, tha French parliament wputa never authorise war In connection with the preaent dispute. This authml-t- y pointed out that, after the coup detat of Napoleon III by precipitating war without conthe Franco-Germa- n sulting the legislative branch, France adopted the salutary principle ol the American consultation, which makes parliament the sols body capable of c taring war. At the present lime the French parliament ia strongly made up of Socialists, and one of their cardinal principles Is disarmament, arbitration and the avoidance of warfare. This element holds the balance of power In tbs French parliament, and it stands, therefore, as a distinct assurance against a parliamentary declaration of war. Probably the best outward evidence that France hu no expectation of becoming Involved In the far east Is that only one French warship has been sent there, and not a single additional soldier has been ordered to the extreme Orient As to the probable course of the other powers toward tha belligerents, the the highest - Paris, Feb. e - . f The Japanese minmade public this evening an announcement of the severance of diplomatic relations between Japan and Russia, saying that this action was due to Russia's delky in getting response to Japan The foreign office been Informed of the departure bf the Rufu'sn minister from Tokio,. and it haa. been' advised of an announcement that 'the Russian government considered it possible that action looking toward mediation might be taken. No exchanges with Great Britain, however, have yet been made. Something may bo done tomorrow. Tbe Japanese government communicated a statement to IS.

You eon say positively and con the ambassador said, that Russia's response is certain to necessitate a reply from Japan, and that the diplomatic negotiations mast, therefore. continue.'

Ruueo-Jap-ane- Associated Press has. been informed by German authority in France that Germany will maintain au attitude of neutrality. Although her sympathies lean toward Russia, she haa no intention Af aiding Russia materially, for she believes that Russia will be victorious. , As Germany's interests are not menaced, she will simply be a spectator: hut if anything should be done which Germany might consider as affecting her. she will be prepared to act It u aid that Germany haa po intention of seizing Shantung, and It la declared to be ridiculous to suppose that she proposes to occupy any points ia Denmark. Austria, It Is believed, will follow the course of Germany, because of the tl-p- le alliance and from her neighborly interests with Russia, particularly in the Balkans. Italy la expected to remain practically in the name position as her associates in the triple alliance, although since the agitation resulting in ths Czars cancelling hla trip to Rome, there haa beep a notable lack-oenthusiasm In Italy' and Russia. Tho Balkans are considered die (langur spot of Europe. As a result of ths preoccupation of Russia in the far cut. It is known here that she haa been careful not to draw upon the troops In European Russia to any great extent for service tn Manchuria, because of the prospect that Turkey and Bulgaria will engage in war during the spring. Austria will bear the burden. In the greater degree, of preserving peace In Europe. In this, however, she will be earnestly supported by France and Great Britain. and. It la hoped, by Germany and Italy. in fact, had dot been received by Jar pan when thifi detorminafioa had been reached, but. on the coaiary, the breaking off of relations was due solely to Russias procrastination and her concentration of military and naval forces toward Korea. No further effort was made to disguise .the seriousness of the situation. There is a reason to believe that the French authorities will give consideration to the idea of mediation, but it is said that such action would be difficult In view of the recent declaration of Japan that she would not accept Intervention of any kind, as the question was one to be regulated between herself and Russia. Nevertheless, It is expected that France will approach Great Britain, with the view of that power making representatl'as to Japan, while she at the same time will make represen tat ic--ts to Russia, In order to prevent an outbreak ot hoslltl-tleIt is admitted, however, that a long atop haa already been taken toward war by Japan's havlcg broken off relations. In the opinion of officials and diplomats here there still Is a sligat e nance of avoiding hostilities. and this chance will be seised. The Japanese legation here haa been the center of much activity throughout the day, and it waa besieged with telegrams (torn diplomatic corps, eager to obtain copies of Japans official statement, la order to notify their respective governments. When the representative of t! Assodned Press called at the togation tonight a member of the British embassy waa Just leaving. M. Motono talked freely. Ha did not appear to be depreKed, but rather confident, and even haeny that a decision had finally bees taken. It was Intimated that arrangements hid already been made for M. Kurlno'a departure from St. Petersburg. It was thought at first that he might come to Paris, but it is the present Intention that he go to Berlin, and them await the final determination as to whether he is to remain In Europe or return to Japan. M. Motono gave the Associated Press representative this statement, but tn addition, he said: The government statement clearly shows that relations tra dearly at an end. Whether or not thin means war, I am nnable to say, but It Is obvious that the step already taken in of the gravest character and one which may mean war. What result may come, no one cap say at this time, but the reasons for the action of the government should be distinctly understood. "It is not true that Baron Komura, the Japan foreign minister, received, yesterday, any note from Baron Da Rosen and, therefore, the action of Japan In breaking off relations waa not a result of the Russian reply. No response has been remitted by Russia to my government. The dispatches stating Russia sent her reply are deceptive, as we have not yet received it, and it la because we have not received this reply that we are determined to act with vigor. This Is the situation. Rossis alone Is responsible. She received our last note on January ISth. Twenty-fivdays passed. Several times M. Kuriao requested a reply and a reply wu promised, but it never came. At tha beginning of last week M. Kurlno declared positively- that he must have a reply,, but still there was nothing. At the same time Russia continued to make military preparations and to concentrate troops In Us vicinity of the Yalu liver. Can you not conceive the Inquietude and the Irritation at Tokiot After three weeks of patience we thought that waa sufficient and our dignity would not permit us to watt indefinitely." A Russian diplomatic authority here says that while the Russian reply was sent from 8t. Petersburg. Thursday, it had not reached Tokio yet. Japan wished for a rupture, and this older given M. Kurlno to break off diplomatle relations coincided with the depmrture of the Russian note, a departure which had been predicted and announced. "Is thkt not significant?" the authority in question asked. "Yesterday, at 6 oclock, 1. Kurlno made known to Count LSmsdorff the instructions that reached him on the 15th. At the same time that M. Kurlno notified Count Lamsdorff, Baron Komura announced the news to Baron De Rosen and requested him to depart. It is not because the Russian note did not arrive yesterday that relations were terminated, because Japan did not receive our note; then the only deduction which can he made on this point, is that Japan, knowing in what state of conciliation our reply waa prepared, decided to avoid further negotiations. When Japan had watted two weeks she could have watted 24 hours longer." Continuing ttle authority said the Japanese had concentrated lhc.tr fleet and transports, that they had broken off diplomatic relations, and that their Intention was evident. Whatever that Intention might ha Rfiseia, uuld wait the course of events without Inquietude. The Associated Press wu the first to give the news of Japins action to the Korean minister here. It is evident that tha minister bad little doubt that war would follow. He eald: "My government will advise me of the policy it proposes to pursue. You know, and the world knows, that Korea means to observe a policy of strict neutrality, and it will do all In Its power to enforce such neutrality We hare hoped that war would be averted, for we have appreciated what hoetilitiei would mean to cur country. "But In cue Japanese troops land In Korea will your government appeal to the powers?" the minister wu asked. To this he replied: "My advices, do not show what action will he taken, except that Korea will remain neutral. France will undoubtedly maintain strict neutrality, and she will endeavor In every way to keep free from all possible entanglements which might draw her into hostilities. .This Is primarily due to the belief pf French officials that France has no deep Interest involved In the region tn dispute. Her direct Interests are too far from the scene of action to make war a matter of special concern to France. -- Washington, Feb. 7.
