THERE is enough in the history of Rus
sia to warrant the belief that the dis
turbances in China are the result Of her
Vaccinations. Her favorite method of
acquiring territory is to stir up troubles
in a country upon which she has designs,
and then send her troops in to preserve
the peace. She has done this for centur-
les in the Crimea, in the Valley of the
Danube, and Asia Minor, and by it gained
all the territory she has around the Black
Sea, the Caspian, and in Central Asia
She now wants TO send troops into China
to restore order. If she once gets an
army there, and secures i predominating
influence, the whole country will quickly
become hers. Our Government is acting
wisely and promptly in having us repre-
scnted at Pekin by an armed force.

JUDGES SAID 70 FEAR DEATH
Court of Appeals at Frankfort, KY,
Adjourns Until April.

frankfort, Ky: The court of appeals
has cn.ercd an order p%ostponing the argu-
mcnt docket until the spring term, which
begins in April. The order of the chief
justice does not give the reason for this
action, but merely states that the Judges
will hold their consultations Mt which
eases will be decided as usual, and that
the court will convene on the bench when
ever tic occasion demands it. In Demo-
cratic circles it is said this action was
taken on account OF stories that the lives
of two of the Judges had been threatened.
The Two factions of the state government
are proceeding, each in full operation, but
with ~not!iin.. approaching a clash. pending
the litigation over the offices. The treas
ury of the Democratic faction of the state
government has been %replenisled by pay
mcnt into it of about $4,000 from officials
in Jefferson County. The Democratic Off
cials think the example set by the Jeff-r-
son County officers will be followed by
Democratic officers in Il majority Of ccun-
ties where they are in control, and that in
II few days they will have enough money
to pay current expenses.

permits the cutting of timber in accord

will be of the utmost importance through-
out a great par, OF the state. and especially

London: Ladysmith has been relieved.
The war office has received the following
from Butler:
"Littleton's Headquarters, March 1, 9 in
the Morning: Gen. D%undonald, with the
Natal Carbinecrs and a composite regi-
mcnt, entered Ladysmith last night. The
country between me and Ladysmith is re-
ported clear of the enemy. 1 am moving
on Nelcthorp."
Butler, in a second dispatch, says:
Nclcthorp, March 1: l have Just re-
turned from Ladysmith. Except a small
guard north of Surprise Hill, the whole of
the enemy lately besieging the town re-
treated in hot haste to the north of the
town, and the country is quite clear of
HEM. The garrison were on a half pound
a day per man, and supplementing meat
rations by horses and mules. The men
will want a little nursing before being fit
for the field.
