THE CRISIS.

Tokio, 19th December.

The situation is gradually clearer,, but actions speak louder than words. The author ities concerned, are now only considering ways and means to meet the worst in view of the most grave condition of affairs. The veteran statesmen and Cabinet Ministers are firmly united in their determination to stand boldly. THE PRIVY COUNCIL.

An extraordinary meeting yesterday, fore. noon was attended-by-zli-the-Cabinet-Minis- ters. Marquises Ito and Yamagata and Count Matsukata were present simultaneously for the first time since their recent appointment to the Councillorship. They all decided on the ex- traordinary measures necessary for meeting pressing State engagements, including pos sible war funds and the speedy completion of the Seoul-Fusan Railway.

THE MILITARY FUNDS.

An extra of the Official Gazette was publish- ed late last night containing four Imperial Ordinances. The 'first (emergency) Ordinance provides for the extraordinary defrayal of mili- tary funds, the resources of which are so-called separate accounts, temporary Government Joans, and exchequer bonds, which will be freely voted according to opportunity.

THE SEOUL FUSAN RAILWAY,

Another (ordinary} Ordinance reorganises the management of the Seoul-Fusan Railway. The trunk railway line is thus to be completed at the end of 1904, under Government super-

Two years ago my complaint was supplemented by three more ailments which followed ane upon the other- dropsy, pleurisy, and rheumatism, From that time I spent most of my life in bed, and although I was in the hospital for four months, it seemed as though I must ge on without any hope of relief.”

Asked to describe further the symptoms of her ailments, Miss Guy said: “The theumatism affected me in my ankles and legs, and to walk was the most acuté agony; as the pain alao affected my hands it was impossible for me to do any work. The dropsy affected me' very severely in the legs, and if I attempted to get out of bed the awful pain made me scream.

THE MILITARY HEADQUARTERS.

By an Ordinance issued on Monday night, the Naval Command Department is placed on the equal fanting to the General Staff Board, the status of which was hitherto higher than the former. This ensures the co-operation of the Army and Navy more satisfactorily than ever. A Supreme Military Council, newly created, replaces the Field-Marshal's Council, The existing East, Central, and West Military Headquarters will be abolished: ere long and their heads will enter the Supreme Council.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

All the officials concerned are cautioned not to undertake a journey for over one day. The number of visitors to the different recreation resorts has recently considerably fallen off. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs, the Navy, and War, Presidents and Naval Command Department held a confidential - conference. -to-day at the Premier's official residence,

JAPAN AND RUSSIA IN COREL An interview with the Inpanese Minister Hayashi, sent by its Seoul correspondet to a leading Tokio journal, is extremely interesting, He declares that the opening of Your-Ampho is now nearly settled and the date thereof only remains to be fined. Empty threats by Russia are now ineffective even among the Seoul politicans. The Chemulpa hiuejacket fracas is unworthy of formal diplomatic negotiations, and the Tapanese representative expects that Russia will eventually waive the matter. The rumoured borrowing of Russian soldiers for the protection of the Imperial Court is unprofitable and useless. The pro- posed Central Bank will tum out a failure, in view of the insufficient reserves,

me, never to return. I had suffered in this way for a long time and had become a helpless, miserable girl when my father retumed home from sea. He was grieved at my appearance, and after talking the matter over he informed me that a friend had told him of the great benefit his wife had derived from Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. Father said that he was going to get soine of the pills for me. He did so, and after I had taken three bottles he said anyone could see that they were doing me a great deal of good. All the neighbours as well began to notice the improvement in me, and, personally, I commenced to feel very inuch stronger, and in better health. Dr. Williams' pink pills have done wonders," "

"And how is your health now, after your unhappy experience of ten years?” ·

"Ohi" Miss Guy answered, "I am now as strong as can be ; I feel healthy; I am able to get about, and all my troubles, including the heart disease, rheumatism, and the other most painful ailments, have quite disappeared."

Annie Guy lives at 30 Iris-street, Kirkdale, Liverpool, and that she now looks the picture of healthy womanhood is the most eloquent testi- mony to Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. These pills also cure all diseases arising from weak nerves and overstrain, or from residence in tropical climates, such an liver ailments, the after-effects of bakerietakoak, malmsini and athar fevers, paralysis, locomotor ataxy (the latter always incurable by ordinary medicines), sciatica, St. Vitus dance, spinal disease, nervous headache, and heart disease; also dis- orders arising from weakness and impoverished bleed, such as anemia, consumption, rheuma- tism, indigestion, shortness of breath, hysteria, female disorders, and pale and sallow cora- plexion. These pills (which are intended for THE RUSSO-JAPANESE CONVENTIONS, both sexes, but are especially valuable to ladies The Japanese representatives in Seoul denies in the characteristic ailments of their sex) are

sold in round neckless bottles, with that the Russo-Japanese conventions are now inoperative. But those agreements were only outer wrapper, bearing in red letters the full concluded to check Russia's influence, then name (seven words), "Dr. Williams' pink pills rapidly growing, thanks to Japan's fallure, and for pale people." The words "for pale people " they were at least effectiva în restoring Japan's were adopted for use in England and America; status in the Peninsula to the original stage. | they have reference, of course, to Europeans; Japan would have done better to have insisted that Russia, at the retrocession of the Lisotung

Peninsula, should have pledged "band off" but if Japan had then been able to press the affair to such a satisfactory issue, she would not have herself abandoned the territory obtained with her blood. Of course, the Russo-Japanese memoranda exchanged several years ago are now stale.

THE TOKIO NEGOTIATIONS,

Proceedlog, Mr. Hayashi ridicules the popular outery changing the Japanese Govern ment with impotence and dullness. He rightly congratulates Japan on her diplomacy in Corea of late years. Certainly Russia has failed bat Japan succeeded. Russia's attempts to obtain A mining concession and the lease of Masampho and at connecting the Russo-Corean telegraphs have all been fruitless. The recent arrangements in Yong-Ampho are merely a result of Russia's golden opportunity when the Corean Sovereign retreated to the Russian Legation. If we style Yong-Ampho. Russia's new sphere of influence, Russia will call those districts covered by the Seoul-Fuxan Railway Japan's sphere of influence. Many other con- cassions have been lately secured by this country and Japan is now. driving' Russia out of the Peninsula. Under the existing circam- stances, hostilities will be eventually inevitable, concludes the Japanese diplomat.

but the pills are equally adapted for all races and castes and for both sexes. Wherever a tonic and strengthening medicine is required, Dr. Williams' pink pills are invaluable. They give strength and make blood. They are obtainable from Dr. Williams' Medicine Com- pany, Holborn Viaduct, London.
