C, Hurled Across the Cabin of the Olid Do- mimion Liner Jefferson—The Lookout Man on the Same Steamer Seriously Injured — All Ocean Liners Due at New York Delayed. New York (Special).—The fierce storm which for several days has been raging along the North Atlantic coast has seriously interfered with shipping, four of the ocean h have been greatly and Sunday only liners, all of whic delayed, succeeded in making port.

Berlin (By Cable).—Russia and Ja- pan act as if either would fight if the other should hold immovably to the position taken up in the last exchange of communications. This is the actual situation as understood officially from reports received from the German Em- bassy in St. Petersburg and the lega- tion at Tokio. Yet this mutual attitude with hostile preparations by both countries is still regarded here as not excluding an hon- orable arrangement. Neither Govern- ment has gone so far that it must fight or be humiliated, but either by a single step can put the other in that posi- tion. This delicate balance may, of course, be violently disturbed any day, though no ultimatum has yet been thrown on either scale. It is believed here officially that war, should it occur, would be between Rus- sia and Japan alone and that neither England nor France would be involved. Frederick the Great's remark is quot- ed as illustrating the present posture of affairs: “Negotiations without wea- pons behind you are like a musical tone without instruments.” Maocharian Pact Lapses.
