It is found that when the $10,000 desired is divided among the 343,000 Inhabitants of the State it means but three centa each, and the association is appealing to each town and county to do its share with every prospect of success.

JURY COULD NOT AGREE. Failed to Convict the Modern Elijah of Manslaughter He I.

Depres.ed. Auburn, Feb. 7. The Jury in the case of the Rev Krank w. Sandford, head of the Holy Ghost and society, charged with manslaughter, reported a disagreement yesterday.

When they took the case tn were intruded to report at the opening of the court yesterday. Failing to do this, the judge rave them further instructions during the forenoon. and after they had consulted again they came into court and formally announced their disagreement. The jury is said to have stood 10 for conviction and two for acquittal. It is understood the jurors who were for ac- quittal were Louis Bourget and James E.

THE BEAR IS AROUSED SeMiti This Abrupt Aet before Japan Had Reeelvesl Runlti Reply WmU 2f Trterate Farther Delay Formal Declaration St. Petersburg. Feb. 1.

Although the rear was general here yesterday that the presentation of the Russian note to Japan part of the Japanese government which would plunge the two countries Into war, the startling action of Japan In severing diplomatic relations with Russia before the actual delivery of the Russian note, came like a bolt from a clear sky. It was believed that the receipt of the note might have unmasked an ultimatum, but that Japan should sever diplomatic relations, a step little short of a declaration of war. was almost like a blow In the face under the present circumstances and it Is resented accordingly. The authorities believe this action places Japan distinctly In the wrong beore the world and moreover, after such a "piece of impudence" as it Is denominated here, makes easy an appeal to the patriotism of the Russian people. The news that at any moment Japan had drawn the sword and that the first clash had occurred would not be surprising.

The events leading to Japan's abrupt action have come with great rapidity. The Russian note was already in the hands of Baron Rosen, Russian minister at Tokio, for delivery to Baron Ko-mura, the Japanese minister, when, at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, M. Ku-Tono. the Japanese minister here, presented himself at the foreign office and inrormed foreign Minister Lamsdortt that his government. In view of the delays in connection with tha Russian answer and the futility hitherto of the negotiations considered it useless to continue diDlo xnatic relations, and would take such steps as it deemed proper for the protection of Japan's interests.

In obedience to instructions, therefore, he asked for his passports. It is known that Count Lamsdorff expressed surprise and regret at this move M. Kurlno received his passports and after consulting with Sir C. S. Scott, the British ambassador, returned to his legation, where the preparations for his de parture bad been started.

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE AFFAIR. Another version Is that the Russian re ply was not in the possession of Baron Le Rosen when M. Kurino called on Count Lamsdorff but was in the telegraph office here awaiting transmission and that it was withdrawn before being despatched. Vpon the disclosure of Japan's position the Russian authorities met the situation with great promptness. Instructions re calling Baron De Rosen were telegraphed directing him to leave Tokio immediately.

Count Lamsdorff official circular to the Russian representatives abroad, instructing them to inform the governments of the countries to which they are accred ited of Japan's action was then prepared and printed in the official messenger this morning. With war Imminent a rigid censorship has been established over information relating to naval and military movements. Preparations were made for the Czar's Journey to the ancient capital, Moscow, where he goes In accordance with the traditional custom to invoke divine guidance. While the imperial train is passing to Moscow troops will line every foot of the way. JAPANESE MINISTER DOES NOT EXPLAIN.

During the night as if by magic, all the Japanese art treasures, bronzes and ivories had disappeared in the Japanese legation and the spacious salons were bare. When a representative of the Associated Press called, M. Kurino entered the salon, his bloodshot eyes giving evidence that he had been a stranger to sleep. He was hovewer, without a trace of excitements There was an air of firm resolution about him which was the only noticeable change in his usual demeanor. Throughout the strain which has just passed the attitude of the Japanese minister has been strictly correct.

He has been on good terms personally with Count Lamsdorff and the other Russian officials. To-day he declined to offer an explanation of the course of Japan, saying the authorities at Tokio would doubtless give their side of the story. He did, however, venture to point out that the irritation created by the delay in the Russian response, together with the forecasts of what It contained, might have convinced his government that it was futile to proceed further with diplomacy. As M. Kurino looked out of a window at the legation he saw a battalion of the Russian Imperial guard.

He showed no emotion, but said rather sadly, that the rupture of diplomatic relations did not necessarily mean war. U. S. Ambassador McCormick was one of M. Kurino's first callers this morning and later In the day many other diplomats came to express to him their regrets at the turn affairs had taken.

In the afternoon M. Kurino and his wife made a number of hurried farewell calls. Four cars are ready at the "Warsaw station for the minister and the legation staff. M. Kurino will leave at the earliest possible moment, but will probably not be able to get away before Wednesday.

The current business of the Japanese legation will be probably turned over to the British embassy. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. The official messenger published the following telegram dated February, which has been sent by Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister, to Russian representatives abroad: "Acting' under Instructions from hia government, the Japanese minister at the Imperial court has presented a note which Informs the Imperial government of the decision of Japan to break off further negotiations and of the recall of her minister and the whole staff of the legation. "In consequence of this his imperial majesty has been pleased to order that the Russian minister at Tokio with the whole of the Imperial mission shall leave the capital of Japan without delay. "Such an attitude on the part of the Tokio government which has not even awaited the arrival of the answer of the Imperial government which was sent off during the last few days, throws the whole responsibility for the consequence which may arise from a rupture of diplomatic negotiations betwen the two empires on Japan.

DECISIVE ACTION EXPECTED Indications Point to No Formal Declaration of War. Tokio, Feb. 7. The severance of diplomatic relations between Russia and Japan appears to be only a step towards war, although when the ministers of Russia Administration and Diplomats at Washington See No Other Outcome COUNT CASSIHI SPEAKS Says Russia Had Made Generous Concessions In Her Last Note The Japanese Minister Does Ifnt Credit the Chars; of Bad Faith at Part of Japan. Washington, Feb.

7. War between Russia and Japan is expected in administration and diplomatic circles. Count Cassinl, the Russian ambassador, to-day promptly on the receipt of a long cablegram from Count Lamsdorff, the Russian minister for foreign affairs, drove to the residence of Acting Secretary of State Loomis and informed blm of the despatch. Count Larnsdorff's despatch said that Japan had broken off negotiations before Baron De Rosen could transmit Russia's reply to the Japanese government. Count Cassinl added that his government deplored this untoward turn.

The Emperor had hoped for a peaceful settlement. The ambassador said Russia in het( last note had made generous concessions to Japan in Korea and had furnished the basis for a continuation of the negotiations to the advantage of Japan. It was added that the Russian government regarded the action of Japan as precipitate and remarkable. Of the final result the ambassador could express his opinion that the worst seemed probable. Mr.

Kurino will leave the Russian capital to-morrow. Baron De Rosen may have already left Tokio. REPLY NOT RECEIVED. On high authority the statement is made that the Japanese government has not yet received the Russian reply. Doubt is expressed here whether it ever will be delivered.

Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, stated to-day that he was not inclined to attach great importance to the charge that the Japanese government had been guilty of bad faith in Instructing its minister to withdraw before Russia's reply. He declared Japan had requested a reply to her last note as soon as possible, that there had been a delay, creating a situation which was becoming unendurable. The Japanese minister at St. Petersburg called on Count Lamsdorff several time but was informed that the count could not even give a probable time as to whon the reply could be sent.

Meantime, while the reply was thus delayed, Russian military and naval preparations were proceeding with renewed vigor. RUSSIA TAKING ADVANTAGE. The garrison commander at Vladivos tock informed Japanese residents that they must be prepared to leave at a moments notice or must be ready to move to a town in the interior and re main in certain limits. Actions like this, while the reply was still unaccountably delayed, said Mr. Takahira, did not seem to indicate a sincere desire to maintain peace but indicated Russia was placing herself in an advantageous position.

Under these circumstances the Japanese government probably decided that it was wise to terminate negotiations which had proved entirely futile. An official of the Japanese legation called attention to the fact which he thought significant, that the notice ter minating negotiations was sent to St. Peterbsurg by the Japanese government on the fifth instant while Admiral Alexleff telegraphed the reply to the note on January 13 to the Russian minister at Tokio on the sixth Instant. He said this step must have been taken after Ad miral AJexieff was aware of the notice received by his government the day be fore from Japan terminating negotia tions. Baron Sternberg, the German ambassa dor, had a long conference with Count Cassinl this afternoon.

It is certain that so long as no other nations than Russia and Japan are involved, Germany will observe neutrality. The Russian ambassador and the Japanese minister here each expect to have a long conference with Secretary Hay tomorrow. The Russian and Japanese representatives here will observe outward courtesies when they meet but will not exchange calls. It is stated that the United States will observe strict neutrality in the troubles between Japan and Russia. NO STEP TOWARDS MEDIATION.

Paris, Feb. 7. The foreign office has been informed of the departure of Baron De Rosen, the Russian minister from Tokio and It has 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 occurred. Something in this direction may be done to-morrow.

SMOOT INQUIRY MARCH 1. Sennte Committee Will Give Public Hearings la the Matter. Washington, Feb. 7. Complete investigation of the protests against Senator Reed Srnoot retaining his seat In the United States Senate will begin March 1 before the committee on privileges and elections.

The committee agreed to this date at a meeting held yesterday, and Chairman Burrows wah given unlimited power to summon witnesses and to appoint a subcommittee to go to Utah to take testimony if such a course shall be found to be necessary. A list of 20 witnesses was submitted by the protestants and most of these will be here soon after March 1. It was determined that the hearing of the case shall be public. Ex-Representative R. Tayler has announced that it is the intention of his clients to try the case as respects the relations of the Mormon Church to the United States government and the intrusion of a great hierarchy into the political affairs of the nation.

The witnesses to be summoned are for the most part members of the Mormon Church. Among them are children alleged to be the offspring' of polygamous marriages contracted since the manifesto of 1SW). OPPOSES FOREIGN SHIPS. Washington, D. Feb.

7. A hearing was given yesterday by the House committee on merchant marine and fisheries on several bills providing for American register to six foreign built vessels. W. F. Palmer, representing the Boston chamber of comerce, and W.

L. Marvin and W. M. Plummer for the shipping interests of Boston and Bath, spoke in opposition to the bill, taking the ground that the granting of American register to these foreign built vessels would seriously injure the coastwise American shipping'. It was stated that 17 foreign vessels are now seeking admission to American register and that if register were granted to the six vessels, all of the others would be likely to gain admission also.

and Japan withdraw from their respective posts quick and decisive action is expect ed. "When Minister of Foreign Affairs Kumora on Saturday notilied Baron De Rosen, the Russian minister of Japan's determination to sever diplomatic rela tions, he is reported to have declared to him that Japan Is tired of Russia's de lays, evasions and insincerity and has de cided to take independent action for the conservation of Japan Oriental interests. Iuring the final negotiations Jepan's re peated requests for an answer were treat ed in a most unsatisfactory manner. Japan waited until convinced that it was useless to wait longer and has now ended the discussion. The indications are that there will be no formal declaration of war Japan will publicly define its position and purposes and the foreign office has prepared a new statement.

On Hon day Japan will unquestionably seize Ko rea, and although Russia has previously intimated that it would not interfere, in view of that country's present attitude. developments are eagerly awaited. NO HOPE OF PEACE NOW. Russia Resents What it Claims an Unwarranted Interruption of Negotiations. Washington, Feb.

7. It Is stated here that Russia was informed of the severance of diplomatic relations Friday. The further statement was made that the receipt of Japan's note announcing the in-iterruption of relations occurred before Baron De Rosen had delivered the full reply to Japan. The Russian government resents what it declares to be an unwarranted interruption to negotiations which it was hoped up to the last night might result In a peaceful settlement. All hope of averting war now, it is frankly admitted, has been abandoned by the Russian government.

Count Cassinl, the Russian ambassador, upon receipt of the cablegram from St. Petersburg called upon Acting Secretary of State Loomis and informed him of the interruption of relations. RUSSIAN TROOPS IN KOREA Official Declaration War Expected To-day -Austria to Represent Russia. London, Feb. 8.
