ESCAPED THE PRESS CENSOR

Belief Expressed That England ead Japan
Will Make a Demonstration.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-The Daily Mail
publishes a dispatch from Toxic, which,
it claims, evaded active censorship.
The dispatch says: England and
Japan, without entering upon an actual
alliance, have arrived at a complete un-
derstanding which will probably result
in a joint naval demonstration at the
entrance Of the Gulf of Pe.Chi.Li. In
diplomatic circles at Toxic the probabil.
ity of a conflict is regarded as extremely
distant"
Russia, according to a special dis.
patch from Shanghai, is preparing tenn.
porary quarters for 10000 troops at
Port Arthur. She has obtained a half
promise from the grand council at
Pekin to dismiss Sir Robert Hart, di.
rector of Chinese imperial maritime
customs, and other high customs
officials, in addition to the British
railway officials and the German
officers and instructors. Fifty of the
latter, the dispatch says, have received
notice that they would be paid off al
the termination of the contracts. Con.
trary to the general report, the dispatch
asserts that there is good reason t o be-
lieve Great Britain will actively oppose
the Russianization of Korea and North,
ern China.

much they were worth. And every
visitor carried away q little nugget,

He purchased q tree five feet high

on a table in the middle of the room.
With much trouble the nuggets were
strung on strong silk cord and hung
about the tree. On the table ut the
base Of the tree the gold pieces were
dumped. A central Office detective was
detailed to watch the tree.

ing it as a delicate compliment to the
land of the kilt, but when he looked
at himself in the glass he found that
the tailor had cut his kilt too short, SO
he made up his mind to put on evening
dress.
He changed his upper garments and
then sat down for a few moments to
study his speech. This set him to sleep.
He awoke with a start, only to find
himself running into the station. For
getting what happened, he thrust on
his hat and appeared at the window
bowling, and this was how he was
dressed:
He had a full highland costume as
far as his waist. Above were a white
shirt and swallow tailed coat. and the
entire edifce was crowned with a chin
ney pot hat, upon which he sat down
without noticing it. His l~ordship's hor.
