government is preparing actively to re-
sist Russian occupation of Port Arthur

the cooperation o,s the Japanese fleet

ment 30 days ago notified the Canadian
Pacific officials to be in readiness for the

DENIAL By PRESIDENT 'sHANaHNEssY.
Montreal Dec. 30. - Vice President
Shangnnessy, of the Canadian Pacific
| railroad, says there is no truth in the story

PREPARING FOE AN EMERGENCY.
London, Dec. 30.--A news agency an
nounces that the British naval reserves
will be mobilized.
According to recent estimates the re-
serve forces of the British navy number
about 28, 900 men. OF this number it is
calculated that at least 10000 men will be
required in case of war to complete the
manning of the warships of Great Britain,
which are understood to require com
plement of 10000 men, whereas only
100000 are actually in service. The gen.
eral opinion appears to be that the num-
Der of men available is far short of the
number that would be reqnired in case of
war. In addition to the men in the naval
reserve, Great Britain has a large reserve
feet and number of reserve merchant
cruisers, including such vessels as the
Campagnia, Lucanc, Eutruria, Umbria,
Majestio and Teutonio

The Democrats Of tine Old Dominion are

What occasion IS there for indorsing the

aside the silver question and to unite
heartily and sincerely in nominating and
clocting a good Democratic State ticket
upon a good Democratic State platform
but they cannot and will not swallow the
Chicago platform, and that is all there
is about II.
But the World Is quite right in suggest
ing 10 the Democrats Of the Old Dominion
that this is good time to unite and win.
IL has been abundantly proven that there
are many Demo i'm this State who

sion in the Democratic ranks and the
forthcoming campaign offers a most ex-

upon Haunting the Chicago platform in
