Some doubt is expressed that Russiaproperly appreciates the determination audtemper of the Japanese people, and it seemsincredible that Baron De Rosen has failedto correctly Inform the government at St.Petersburg of the situation.

Japan is busy perfecting a financial pro-gramme. The announced plan to Issuebonds and increase taxation meets withpopular approval, but some objections havebeen made to the proposed method ofprocedure, as well as to the redemptionplau. It is said that the final details willM Bettled soon. Premier Katsura and theother members of the Japanese Cabinetentertained at dinner to-nig- ht a numberof prominent bankers of the empire whohave gathered ;;t the capital to discuss theHaanCHl situation and assist in the per-fecting of the government's programme.To-morro- w the premier and Cabinet willgive a dinner to a group of millionairefinanciers and Prtsident Matsuwo, of theBank of Japan, will give a banquet to thevisiting bankeis, at which Matsukata andluoyou, former ministers of finance, willdeliver addresses.

The Marquis to, Matsukata and GeneralYamagata. members of the ImperialHousehold Finance Council, had an audi-ence with the Emperor to-da- y. at which Itwas decided that the imperial householdshould subscribe to the government's bondIssue. It was undecided, however, whatamount should be taken. This will makethe Emperor a personal subscriber to theproposed bonds. The government is rec iv-m- g
