SENATOR HANNA IS SOMEWHAT BETTER Cheering News From the Bedside of the Stricken Statesman Physicians Considering Plans for His Removal to Thomasville or Elsewhere. Washington. Feb. 6. The official -f 4- announcement of Senator Hanna's -4- 4- condition tonight is icgardcd as fa- -f vorable, 4- A bulletin written by Dr. Rixcy, after taking the Senator's tempera- 4- turc and pulse at S o'clock, follows: 4- -V "Senator Ilanna has rested fairly 4- 4- well since morning. Tompcralurc, 4 4 102.4; pulac, 02." Washington, Feb. ' G. No comment was made by the doctor on the higher pulse tonight than yesterday, there be ing an increase of ten beats over the same time last night, while the tem perature Is practically the same as last night. The temperature is regarded as the more Important Indication In the course of the fever, which runs In cycles of seven days. The crisis is marked by the highest temperature, a lower read ing taken at precisely the same time on the following day indicating- that the crisis had passed. Dr. Ttlxey saw no special . significance, however, In the reading tonight, it being substantially the same as la?t night. Weather condi tions, ho remarked, might have some thing to do with it. He regards the crisis as still In the future. Senator Hanna's brother, H. M. Ilanna, is expected to arrive from Thomasville, Ga., tomorrow, having been summoned by Mrs. Hanna that she may be relieved somewhat of the responsibility attending the Senator's illness. Medlll McCormack, Senator Hanna'o son-in-law, arrived tonight from New York. He will not remain In Washing ton, however, being on his way to Chi cago. Although no one Is allowed to see Senator Hanna, there are dally many callers at the hotel of prominent per sons anxious to learn the latest regard ing his condition. T'oday President Roosevelt sent a nole to Mrs. Hanna expressing his sym pathy, and Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice called on Mrs. Hanna. The Chi nese Minister. Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, and the Cuban Minister, Senor Qucsada. also were callers. A cablegram of sympathy was re ceived from Gen. Booth, commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army. Sir Henry Irving also telegraphed a message of sympathy. The telegraphic correspond ence of this nature amounts to many hundreds of dispatches dally. The long distance telephone also is used, par ticularly between the hotel and Cleve land, whence many calls come each day. Plans for a trip to Thomasville or some other resort already are being considered, indicating tho desire of the physicians to get the Senator away from Washington as soon as It Is prac ticable to do so. Conditions in the sick-room were such tonight that when Dr. Rlxey completed his call, which lasted fully an hour, he announced that he would not return during tonight, and that no further communication with the patient would be had unless a change for the worse occurred.

They know, they said, that such a mooting 4 was to bo held, but wcro In tho dnrk as to what was to be done.

It is clear that diplomatic relations between Japan and Eussia have been broken, X I Baron, de Eoson, the Eussian Minister, is expected to depart in a few days. His preparations for de- parturo are now progressing. X Tho Eussian. legation expected its Government to break silence today, but no communication -was ie- 4- 4! ceived, except one announcing that troops had been dispatched to Seoul. i The populace is not aware of tho diplomatic proceedings and, although, it is generally known. that the country is on the eve of a war, the people await the clash with tho same calmness that marked their demeanor in tho preliminary stages of the controversy. 4- " It is believed that the final interview between Foreign Minister Komura and Baron de Eosen, the 4 Eussian Minister, took place yesterday (Saturday) afternoon.

G. The scene of the Rus3o-Japanese negotiations has shifted, and now Russia waits for Japan to see how her latest word Is to be received. As each communication has passed between the capitals of the con testing powers the situation has become more tense, until It Is now feared di plomacy is making Its last exchange and that the questions at Issue may go to the arbitrament of sterner methods, Russia tonight is keenly awake to the possibilities of the situation and is eagerly waiting first Intimation which may give a clue to the temper of Japan. This means official, intelligent Rus sia on the banks of the Neva, and to a lesser extent In the larger cities. Be yond the confines of these centers of population the calm current bf monoto nous life of the vast empire flowed on until now undisturbed. The multitude In the Interior, who In the end must do the fighting if there Is to be war on a I large scale, .hove not yet.awikcned to , the Impending dnnger. It will be only when the Emperor shall issue his man ifesto and his call to -arms that they will be aroused. The Emperor, in the event of war, may go to Moscow to submit his cause ond fate to the Almighty at the altar of the Troltsko monastery, as his fa thers have done in the past before draw ing the sword; but, whether he docs or not, his manifesto, which will be read in all the churches of the empire and posted everywhere, will rouse the pa triotism of his subjects. In the hotels and restaurants of SL Petersburg the situation is being dis cussed tonight with great seriousness. The weather Is bitterly cold and street fires are burning-, and the people are asking If it is possible for hostilities to begin at a season when the thermom eter registers 40 degrees below zero Fah renheit In North Manchuria. They are speculating upon the hor rors that would characterize such a winter campaign, and wondorlng if the story of the sufferings at Shlpka Pass are to be repeated. Tho Russians ar confident, however, that If tho worst comes their hardy sol- PROPHETS IN ENGLAND PREDICT WIDESPREAD WAR IN EUROPE London, Feb. 6. The prospect for a great war breaking out In the far East, I which is acknowledged even In hither to pacific quarters, has been brought appreciably nearer by the developments of the last day or two. That a Russo-Japanese conflict will bo followed by a Balkan outbreak, which In time may develop Into a wide spread European conflagration Is also considered probable and increase the depression pervading all political cir cles In England and on the continent. Tho news from St. Petersburg of the preparations of M. Kurlno, the Japan ese Minister, for departure. Is not yet known In London, but official circles, the press and public have already prac tically decided that nothing can avert war, and, probably the termination of the long delay and susponse, when the j first gun Is fired, will occasion n senso diery can stand the severe cold better than can their adversaries. EUSSIA ON TIP-TOE OF EAGEE EXPECTANCY St. Petersburg. Feb. G. Russia is standing on the tip-toe of expectancy and apprehension. Her response hav ing now reached the Japanese Govern ment at Toklo word therefrom Is await ed with extreme anxiety. The feelins that Japan will stand firmly on her former demands against whatever con cessions Rus6ia can offer consistent with tho maintenance of hor pride is becoming a conviction here. An offi cial of the foreign office said: "The world understands our position pretty well. There Is no reason why the situation should be considered changed. Russia has done her utmost, but the other side must yield if a com mon ground Is to be found. The Japan ese people and press have been kept excited by false reports, invented, we believe, to create distrust of our pur I oses and pacific intentions. How far the Japanese authorities can withstand of relief, and possibly business Im provement. Already Toklo dispatches announce that relief is felt there at (he fact that all doubts regarding the outcome of the negotiations have practically been set The British postofflce emphasizes the critical state of the situation by an- 'H nounclng that code telegrams cannot be accepted for any place In Japan, thus confirming the New .York an nounccmcnts to the same effect. There Is reason to believe that the substance of the last Russian reply has already been communicated to the Jap ancse legation here and thence to the Foreign office: One long and several shorter cable messages from Tokio have recently been received by Baron jH Hayashl, the Japanese Minister. There was unusual activity at the legation thTs morning' and long mes sages were sent to various points. the popular tide Is a question." In sharp contrast with this calm and even hopeful view voiced by the Rus slan official, Is the gloom that prevalln at the .Japanese Legation and British Embassy, where no efforts arc made to disguise their feelings of uneasiness The belief is almost openly expressed here that if Japan considers the reply unsatisfactory, it will be the end of dl plomatlc negotiations. Minister Kurlno and Sir Charles Scott, British Embassador to Russia. have been in closo conference, evidently determined upon action to be taken In jH case of a rupture of tho negotiations. which it Is believed will immediately be followed by the breaking off of dt plomatlc relations. In this event M. Kurlno will ask for . his passports and will leave Su Peters I burg at once. The Minister has already anticipated such a contingency and is making arrangements to yacatc the Le gation building. It is even reported today on appar cntly good authority that M. Kurlno has ordered a special car to be in read! ness at the Warsaw station, to take hint to Germany. The current affairs of the Japanese il Legation will be turned over to the !
