RUssIA's MENAcING ASPECT.
Advancing in the Far East and or
the Indian Frontier.

VANCOUVER (B. c., Jan. IA
digest OF opinions of the principal
Chinese and Japanese papers received
today by the steamer Empress OF
Japan, thirteen days from Yokohama,
indicates that Russia is Enthusiastically
revealing her intentions in the Far
East. The China Gazette says that,
taxing advantage of England's press
ing engagements in South Africa, the
Russian Government, through it's Con-
SUI at HankOw, has revived its claim
to the Jardine-MethesOn land, making
a demand for the property In the most
peremptory fashion.
The Russian Consul claims that the
que-tion Of the disputed ownership of
tie land has been absolutely decided
in favor of his Government, and ne
has announced his intention to take
forcible possession OF the property
without further negotiations. His ac-
tons are said TO have been extremely
/ high-handed. Relations between the
Birth and Russian residents are
strained TO the breaking point.

vantage of the Transvaal trouble to

DR.. LIE yds Talks.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia dispatch
to the World from Brussels says: w.
]. Leyds, the Minister Plenipotentiary
of the South African Republic accred-
tied to all the governments of Europe,
said today: Remember, it is Eng
land, not we, who is mainly responsible
for this bloOdshed and who has re-
pulsed all outside efforts to bring
about a suspension of hOstilities.
LAS for a refusal of an exequatur to
Mr.. Hay Omitted States Consul on his
way to Pretoria to replace Mr.. Ma
crum), that rumor appears to come
through what are called BOer agents in
America. Let me state that no such
person exists. No man in America has
any authority to speak on behalf Of
the Government at Pretoria. As for
the report itself, can neither confirm
nor deny it, but l know of no reason
which would lead the Government at
Pretoria to take such a decision"
Taking up a clipping from the West
minister Gazette, of London, accusing
the Beers of firing upon surgeons and
ambulances on the fields, DIR. Leyds
continues:
This extract from the Westminster
Gazette has come under my notice. I
declare without hesitation that the
Boer soldier does not exist who would
knowingly fire on a man employed on
ali errand of mercy.
THAT mistakes occur on both sides
is too evident from the reports pub
lished from time to time of alleged
cruelties which a fuller examination
has proved to be the result either of
a misunderstanding or of ignorance OF
the rules Of warfare. But the numer-
Gus accounts in the English press of
the chivalry of our men are in them
selves refutation of such charges.
Zone report says the Beers were
made to dig their graves before being
tied to a stake for execution. If this
is true, l can only express my horror
and Indignation. Such acts of barbar-
ity must henceforth sully the annals
of British warfare"

Mill Men Watching Result Of
Army Shipments of Hemlock.
WILL EFFECT STUMPAGE HERE.
At Present n Giant Growth of the
wood in This State Is Not Used
If n Trial Proves That 1t Will
Resist the Attacks of Ants Prices
fngs become as Valuable rs Fir.

Lumbermen from all sections of the Uni
ted States are watching with much inter-
est the result of recent shipments of Wash
ington hemlock to the army in the Phil
ippines. Already one shipment has gone
forward, and recently another large order
for sash and door stuff, from the same
wood, has been placed The timber is to
be used for the construction of army bar
racks and other buildings in Manila The
interest created is not in the orders them
selves, but in the success or failure of
an undertaking which will have an effect
on the hemlock timber lands of this state
The government is experimenting with
different Coast soft woods in the hope Of
finding one that will withstand the ravages
of the Filipino ant. The California red
wood and Oregon and Washington fir have
all been tried and while the shipments from
this state have withstood the attacks bet
ter than any other they have not been
entirely proof.
The experiments Of the government
with hemlock in the Philippines is an I'M
portant matter to this state said John
L. Allen, a lumber manufacturer OF Min
nesota, who is largely interested in Wash
ington timber lands, at the Butler yester-
day. THE success of the undertaking
means q market for the millions of feet Of
hemlock In this state that now Is not be-
ing worked.
"Lumbermen on the Coast have an idea
that hemlock is not good for lumber; 1t
may not be so saleable as fir but II there
was no fir in this state there would be a
ready market for hemlock. In no state
in the Union are there such mammoth
hemlock trees as here. They are giants,
free from knots, and will cut clear lum-
Der almost any length and width.
Should the army experiments prove that
hemlock will Withstand the ants in tue
Philippines the price of stumpage will ad-
vance 100 per cent In fact, II will be-
come Just as valuable as fir, or nearly so.
The army lumber needs In the islands will
be several million feet at once, and a per-
manent market for the product.
Eastern lumbermen who have examined
the hemlock lumber of this state say that
1t is wholly different from that found In
the East. 1t is harder and better adapted
to stand the test 1t Will be put to than
any similar wood. For this reason lumber
men are of the opinion that ants will
not attack it,
