IN THE FAR EAST.
NothinE Known Among british Diplomats
of an Argr~ssiy. Action by Japan
aud Chiss Agsin.t Ru,.ia-

LONDON, Nov. 1i-Careful Inquiries
reveals nothing extant in diplomatic
circles here 10 justify the alarm. Vt
view taken by "A section OF the press
regarding the situation in the far east.
That a ser GU, deunuement II - ciose
a, hand as j. indicated by advice> fru..
Shanghai during the last - hours Is
regarded "a incr.d BILE. For long
time IL has be n knovn here that
China and Jap,n were closely allied.
but neither British nor American
diplomats in Lond"n believe that thi.
alliance is OF an offensive nature.
AT any rate II can Oc asserted posi-
lively that IL Japan and China con.
template aggressive action against
Russia, Lord Salisbury is not aware OF
their intention, and IL is scarcely prob
able that those powers would decide
upon any definite course without at
least consulting Great Britain VINO. in
the nature of things, would be their
ally, whether active or passive.
However while the foreign officials
have no Information tending to con-
firm recent sensational reports they
have come to regard the eastern prob.
lem as so difficult in respect OF getting
accurate Information that they would
be surprised AT nothing. They have
cndeavored to take precautions against
everything. In the words OF the
British official while reports
OF n rupture between Russia
and Japan are easy of
creation. aud while they are liable to
constant reiteration. so long as the
diplomats of the press continue.to view
the far cast with such serious atten-
ton, IL Is certainly palpaole that IL
Japan really means to- strike "A serious
blow at Russian control she must do il
quickly, for very soon Russia will be
far stronger than she Is now"
Discussing the bearings OF Russia's
new naval estimates upon this ques-
tion. the Official asserted that these
certainly ind ica,ed the intention OF the
car TO increase the Russian feet in
Chinese waters which. IL done ON the
scope outlined in the estimate. would
leave Japan but little chance.
Another phase OF these reports
which has ast9nished me, )" said the off.
cial, rs the suggestion OF Chinese Coz
operation. Thus far no natioa has
been able TO arouse the Chinese suifi.
GENTLY To y ct them 10 combine in mill
itary enterprises II Japan has done
this, or even believes she has. then she
has accomplished more than Grea,
Britain or Russia In n century of eff
fort"
The action Of the United States gov
eminent In requesting assurances fro IN
foreign governments regarding the
open door" policy in China has ere.
ated intense satisfaction in British Of.
ficial circles.
Lord Salisbury" according 10 the
official quoted above, has gladly
acquieseed in this step on the part of
the United States, which is regarded
as most potent evidence that the United
States recognize the impossibility of
conducting their foreign affairs with
out the cooperation of other nations,
and as the first practical earnest of
their desire TO Conduct eastern nego-
tiations in concert with European
governments.

In Philadelphia on Sunday was born In
Camden. noar Dover on October I, 1888.
From his earliest childhood days no dis
played rs onishing inventive faculty and
patient industry in experimenting. While
praoticing the profession of dentistry SIN

He invented the dental engine In 1853.
The surgical engine was set to work by
him in 1862 The electro -Inegnetic mallet
for filing teeth was produced by his fer
tile brain and skillful hand In 1869, and
tho mechanical malet In 1878. What was
considered his greatest discovery in some
respects was that relating to the articu-

During seven weeks before his death DR..
Bonwell suffered from acute uracinlc

WILL NOT
TAKE BONDS

White and Company of New York have
about determined to not take the $4,000
bond issue recently bid in by them and in
few days suit will be instituted by che
Mayor and Council against the company
for non performances Of the contract. 4
This morning City Solicitor Coarad re-
coived IA letter from White & Company,
informing him that their repressn tati 70
would not DO in this city until Thursday.
Accompanying the letter was an opinion
from the company s attorney in which ii
was held that the bond issue had been
made Illegally.
This Is taken as evidence by the city
authorities that tho companydoes not pro-
pose to take the bonds. The opinion is
merely pref KIT to relieve tho company
OF preparing It's part of the contract Is
illogical and wholly at variance wish the
act Of Legislature authoris sing thu bond
issue. If it Is allowed tD control the city
authorities in the matter 1t must neces-
sarily bring discredit on those parjicu-
lar bonds and render unsuccessful any
further attempt TO dispose OF them.
The only course therefore oren to the
city's credit i, u suit agai:ist tho company
for non performance of its part Of the con-
tract.
City Solicitor Conrad, Treasurer Ham,
and Sinking Fund Commissioner Roweii
and the Finance, Committee of Council
will Tonight discuss tbs letter and the
opinion enclosed and will determine upon
the suit.

There was quite heavy frost this

wheat has not yet been sown, and one
third Of the corn has not yet beon cut.
Fine weather. however may b expected

much work may be done. The sooner the

better for the farmers
