There was nothing in his actions

suicide. with the exceptions of one
occasion. when he told someone that
he would be dead before January 49,,

Standing Pine Estimate.

Minneapolis Lumberman: Freder-
lex Weyerhaeuser estimates that in
Michigan there ia standing pine to
the amount of 10000, OOO, 900 feet; in
Wisconsin, ~, 400. O0.'. 900 feet, and in
Minnesota, 35,0Mt, OO0. 900 feet. Thus
in the three states according to his
estimate, there is 65.nOO, co., 900 feet.
II the animal cut will be 5000. O0O, 900
feer hereafter, the total supply will
last a little more than 10 years. But
the annual cutting will depend on
the demand. Last year the output
OF lumber was about 5. 500, QUO, 900 feet,
which was a minimum result as
compared to that of any year for a
previous decade or more. The rate
Of cutting will depend on the times
aud the competition of southern and
Pacific coast lumber. Under the in
fiuence OF prosperity, production will
be driven faster than under the op-
position condition. For instance, II
we shall have several years, succeed
ing the present time, Of a fair meas
ure of prosperity, pine owners would
be diligent in cutting and putting on
the market all the lumber possible.
and the annual cut for several sue
cessive years might swell to over
6,UOO, O00, 600 feet. But assuming that
the most that car be expected is an
annual output of 5,oO0.O0O, 600 feet,
tbeEtotal supply will -last&s13 years
according to."Mr. Weyerhaeuser's
very liberal estimate, which some
old Michigan lumbermen thinks is
excessive. While the total is lasting
say ID years, the field Of operations
will be narrowing, until in the last
few years Of the period the cutting
will mostly he done west OF the head

Chfna's Surrender.
(From the Chicago Record.)


Serious tension of the political situa-
ton in the far East has been relieved
temporarily by the lease of Port Ar
thur and Talienwan to Russia. That
China would yield to the demands of
the car has been foreshadowed from
the first publicity given the ultimatum
delivered by the Russian minister at
Pekin. The settlement now announced
on its face appears to be a compromise
inasmucn as the possession of the
ports is granted for twenty-five years,
whereas Russia sought a lease for
ninety-nine years.
Whatever the term Of the lease, how
ever, there can be no doubt that Russia
will hold possession of the two ports
so long as its military power remains
unimpaired. By these grants China
virtually surrenders the sovereignty of
the northern part of the empire, al
though in fact retaining nominal sOVer-
eighty rights which it is poWerleSs to
assert Port Arthur is to be the for
tilted naval base OF operations for the
czar and the terminus of the railroad
connecting his empire with the COM
merciaI world The acquisition of
on the Pacific for the great trans-S iber-
ian railroad, the end toward which Rus
sian diplomacy has been directed. The
strtegetical strength of these ports
makes Russia practically supreme on
the north coast Of Asia. 1t has grabbed
the rightful fruits of Japanese victory
in the late war and enforced it's de-
mands practically against the protest
of Great Britain, which has declared for
equel privileges in Chinese ports for
all nations. 1t has been understood
that if China did not accede to Russian
demands by Saturday, March 26 Rus
STA intended to seize Port Arthur and
Talienwan. so that the decision of the
emperor seems to have been made al
most at the last moment.
Whether the failure OF the Chinese
loan in London had anything to do
with the action is at best only a matter
for conjecture But If this be the fact,
failure to pay the Japanese war indem-
nifty, due In May, is presaged. In this
event the only course for Japan to pur-
sue is to take permanent possession of
Wei-Hai-Wei, which it has held as Sc
curity since the signing Of the treaty
| of peace. Japanese occupation of the
port would materially lessen the value
| to Russia of Port Arthur and Talien-
wan, from its position being a constant
| menace to both ports
1t now remains for Japan or Great
| Britain TO make the next move in the
| play of the powers. Russia has gained
all that it asked for. The partition of
| China has been begun, and in the con-
| fessed weakness of the present dynasty
| there is little hope of withstanding the
rapacity of the car and the emperor
| OF Germany and the defensive opera
tons of Great Britain, France ana
| Japan.
| In England the fear Is expressed that
in support Of its declared principles of
| equal privileges the government will
| be obliged to take immediate action.

PRINCETON VS.. GEORGETOWN.
First of 81 Set of Games 10 he Played
Here This Afternoon

The baseball team which represents
Princeton is always a welcome visitor
here, and the large following it has tends
to bring out the largest crowd of the
college series. Indications now are that
the game to be played on Georgetown
field this afternoon will bring out the
regulation size crowd, and Manager Head
has prepared for a large attendance and 1t
promises TO be as great a social as it is
sure to be a brilliant athletic event.
The Princeton players arrived here on
Thursday evening and yesterday took
hard practice on Georgetown Field. Judg-
ing from their practice work, the team
is a very fast one the infield especially
being snappy.
The Batting order against Georgetown
this afternoon viii be as follows: Suter.
left field; Burke, second base; Kaper.
catch; Kelly, first base; Butler, shortstop;
Hamilton. right field; Barrett, third base;
Easton, center field; Hildebrand, pitch.
SuteF who was a substitute last year has
improved so much that he is now a reg
ular. Burke plays a steady game for
n nrst-year man. kafer is as strong in
batting and base running as ever and
his back-stop work is brilliant. Kelly,
Princeton's star half-back last season, is
sition at first as well as ever. Butler is
captain this year and playing and hit
ting as well as ever. Hamilton is
new man in right garden. His batting
is strong feature of his all-around
work. Barrett is a veteran at third and
the best Princeton has had since Gunster's
time. Eaton. the great south-paw twirl
er previous TO the accident to his left
shoulder. is now one of the best of col
lege outfielders. He covers an immense
territory. Hildebrand, the crack tackle
on the football team is, if anything, pitch
ing better ball than last year and he

regular turn in the box today.

and on Tuesday Yale will be here for an
other game. Play will begin at o'clock

of the Seventy-first Regiment were stirred
up yesterday by the receipt Of the most
warlike orders yet issued by any regi-
mental commander during the present

the shoes should be suitable for march
ing, of black leather. medium weight
stoutiy made, with broad toes. A flannel
band worn around the abdomen will be
found conducive 10 health in active serv-
ice.
