EXTREME ANXIETY IN ST. PETERSBURG. Russia Awaiting Japan's Re sponse to Her Reply With Grave Fears of Result. SUGGESTS FURTHER DELAY. From Rnsilu Point of View the Reply Ii Retarded Pacific Bamsri of a NitiI Eofiiement Distorts aocei ia Corca. By Cable to the Horning Star. St. Petersburg, Feb. 6. The Rus alan replj hat been banded to the Japanese government by Baron da Rosen, the Russian minister at Toklo. Ruts-la is standing on the tip-toe of expectancy and apprehension. Her a 1 ' ..aVS iVa reiponBO uavinjr: uuw rw-usu ua Liandsof the Japanese governmental Toklorword therefrom is awaited with muen anxiety. The air is filled with grave fears that it will mean the parting of the waja for Russia and Japan. The strain is intensifying. The feeling that Japan will stand firmly on her former de mands against whatever concessions Russia can offer consistent with the maintenance of her pride, is becoming a conviotion here. An official of the Foreirn Office sftld: "The world understands oar position pretty well. There is no rea son why the situation should be con sidered changed, either for the better or worse. Bo far as the actual state of the negotiations is concerned matters should be improved by the Russian answer, which was framed in the most conciliatory spirit. Nevertheless there is serious doubt as to the course the Japanese government will pursue. Russia has done her utmost, but ibe other side must yield if a common ground is to be found. The Japanese people and press have been kept in a continual state of excitement by false reports, invented, we believe, to create distrust of our purposes and pacific in tentions. How fsr the Japanese au thorities can withstand the popular tide is a question." In sharp contrast with this calm and even hopeful view, voiced by the Bus elan official, is the gloom which pre vails at the Japanese legation and British embassy, where no efforts were made to disguise the feeling of profound quietude over the outlook. Belief Is almost openly expressed there. If Japan considers the reply on satisfactory it will be the end of diplo matic negotiations. Minister Kurino and Sir Charles Bcott, the British am bassador to Russia, have been in close conference, evidently determining on the action to be taken in ease of a rup ture of the negotiations, which it is believed will be immediately followed by the breaking off of diplomatic rela tions. In this event M. Kurino will ask for his passports and will leave St. Petersburg at once. The minister has already anticipated such a contin gency and is making arrangements to to vacate tbe legation building. Under the terms of tbe lease this may be given up. It ia even reported to day on apparently good authority that M. Kurino has ordered a special car to be in readiness at the Warsaw station, to take him to Germany. The current affairs of the Japanese lega tion will be tumid over to the British, embassy if the worst bappsns. The absence of M. Kurino from the theatricals given at tbe Winter Palace last night, which were atteaded by all the other ministers and by the ambas sadors, was generally remarked. It was the first court function be had missed this season. The Bourse, is demoralized to day, although Imperial fours were un changed. Russia's Pacific Seotlments. Loudon, Feb. 6. A dispatch to Router's Telegram Company, from St. Petersburg, says: "An authoritative statement from a Ruislan source regarding the contents of tbe Russian reply is as follows: " 'If the Japanese government ia animated by the same pacific senti ments as the Russian government there is reason to hope that it will give Russia's fresh proposals such favora ble consideration as to permit mutual accord being finally reached. Baron de Rosen has been furnished with all the necessary instruction fdr a fresh phase of the negotiations."' Disturbances In Cores. Seoul, Feb. . Russian aoldiera have been the cause of a disorderly In cident in 8eoul. One of the Russians seized a woman, and an angry crowd gathered. A band of Corean gendar mes soon arrived at tbe scene of trouble and an encounter with the Russians followed. The gendarmea fought well, overpowering the Rus sians, one of whom was wounded. The Ooreans declare that the Russians will destroy the country. An insurrection has broken out sixty miles north of Beoul and the prefect's house has been destroyed by the people. Habbin, Feb. 6.

It is balieved that the final interview between Foreign Minister Komura and Baron De Rosen, the Russian minister, took place yes terday (Saturday) afternoon.

Washington, Feb. 6. Simultane ously at tbe Stale and Navy Depart ment to-day the announcement waa made that a serious state of affairs la prevalent In Ban Domingo. Complaint baa been made to the 8tate Department by owners of the Ban Isidro plantation that their prop erty has been eized and an appeal la made for Immediate relief. Other Americana haying interests In Ban Domingo have made similar com plaints. A cablegrsm waa to-day dispatched to Bear Admiral Wise, command ing the training squadron now at Guantanamo, Instructing that offi cer to take Immediate and effective steps for the 'adequate protection of American life and property in the Dominican republic, limiting his course of action at all times by the re cognized tenenta of international law. Upon the receipt of thia dispatch Rear Admiral Wise la expected to pro ceed in his flagship, tbe Minneapolis, to Dominican waters and make a per sonal investigation. The Columbia already has been ordered to return to 8an Domingo fromGuantanamo, where she went for coal, and the Hartford will be ordered back from the same place. It ia apparent that the long pending Dominican problem Is reaching a crisis tbat will demand immediate attention. r Tbe German government nas wen nigh reached the limit of Its patience in dealing with 8a a Domingo, and the London and Paria governments show an equal Impatience with affairs there. All these governments have held their true In the hope that the Washington government will put an end to the un satisfactory state ot affaire there. If tbe United States had not acted, it on be stated, European nations would have called the situation to its atten tion. Mr. Powell, the American minister at San Domingo, has cabled the State Department, under date of February 1, confirming the press dispatches re garding the assassination of J. G.

Judge Parlaege said he would render a decision Monday. -v Dairy Interests In Court An important decision has Just been handed down at Hartford, Conn., by Judge riatt of the United States dis trict court. Valentine Boh I was arrested by agents of the agricultural department for destroying stamps on tubs of ren ovated letter and selling the contents thereof as butter. He was charged with violating rule 22 of the agricul tural department relating to the act of May 9, 1902. The defense was that the secretary of agriculture had no author ity in law for making such ruling, and the court sustains the demurrer. The court is of the opinion that congress only provided for the sanitary inspec tion of renovated butter and that rule 22 In nowise related to this. The sum and substance of the deci sion is that the government has ho au thority over renovated butter after it leaves the manufacturer properly stamped. Seller Mast Malce Good. We are informed that the supreme court of Massachusetts has decided that where suit is brought against a milk dealer charged with selling milk below standard the burden of " proof rests with the seller. It has gen been held that in articles for legal standards have been fixed tbe buyer must be able to prove 'that 'the goods were below the standard. Under this new ruling the seller must prove that the goods were up to the stand ard. Thus the burden of proof is shift ed from the buyer to the seller, and if the latter offer standard goods for sale he must be prepared to prove that they are pure. Thus step by step the law is hedging in the counterfeiter and helping the consumer of pure food. Rural New Yorker.

Aa the Import of the verdict waa realized a dozen of Colonel Butler's friends gave forth a wild ahout and dashed out of the room and into the street to spread the newa. Butler stepped quickly from bla place and shook handa with Foreman Rosier. Then he walked down the line of jurorr, shaking bands with each. Within a few minutes Judge Gravea polled the jury and discharged them. Friends surrounded Colonel Butler and after holding an Informal levee all left the room, Butler laughing and joking with those about him. Foreman Rosser said: "The jurors did not want to convict the defendant on the teatimony of boodlera a; d perjurers, wboae statements were flatty contradicted by men of good character. Again, we do not think tbe clrcumstancea pointed to the defend ant's guilt. On the evidence of the Slate, even though we thoroughly credited it, there waa serious doubt as to Butler's aullt. Weighing the facta carefnllv. we think we did our full duty fairly and impartially." Circuit Attorney Folk had fully ex pected a verdict of conviction or at leaat a huog jury.

Now is a particularly opportune time for the American fruit grower to es tablish a big trade with England. That country has recentty been swept by several very severe storms which were unusually -destructive to fruit trees. The present crop is absolutely ruined, while the Injury done to the trees is such that it will be a number of years before they will again produce n nor mal output. As a result of these con ditions American fruit has been sell ing like the proverbial hot cakes. The price paid at tbe auction sales in Lon don is from 25 to 30 per cent higher than usually obtains, and the demand is still insatiated. Considerable Cali fornia fruit has been received, chiefly pears and plums. New York Bartlett pears are also on the market and get ting a good price.
