Partition of China May he Prccip:-
tnted by Action of THE Gear.
Word comes from ST. Petersburg that
Russia has formally taken over all those
regions of Manchuria occupied by Mu.~
covitc soldiers. \. proclamation has been
issued in which it is announced that the
annexation is IL punishment for the at
tack on Blagovcstclcnsk. Hope is OK
pressed that it will serve as IL warning
to the inhabitants to respect the power
of Russia.
Grave doubts are expressed in diplo-
matte circles as to whether the action
of Russia will not be regarded as Il grab
by the powers and lead to serious re-
suits. Indeed, many British statesmen
fear that it will precipitate a general
seizure by other nations and that the
partition of China actually impends.
The reasons given by the Car for his
action are considered iiinsy. Ample, if
not excessive, rcprisals were made by
the Cossacks for the attacks of the Chf-
nese along the .A:mur River, and besides
the hostilitics We're not of a nature to
warrant the anncNing of Il vast eXpanse
Of territory. 1t has been known all along
that Russia has kept covetons eyes on
Manchuria. She now secures practically
all that would accrue to her by a parti-
tion.

do was about 100 knots II day. She was
very foul, however. having been for q
long time in the water without being
%drydocked.
The marine novelty which is attract
ing attention on the Atlantic coast will
doubtless do better in the way Of speed
than the nondescript which is exciting
wonder in San Francisco. The former
is the largest schooner afloat and the
only siN-masted vessel of the kind in
the world. She has just.been launched
by II. Nj. Bean, a builder of Camden,

The beginning Of the second week OF

strikers. Official reports to the United

Eyaporution from Trees.

sone curious facts concerning trees
have been discovered. y single oak
of good size is said to lift 123 tons of
water during the months it is in leaf.
This moisture is cvaporated and rises
to form rain clouds. From this esti-
mate of the labor of a single oak we
can gain some idea of the immense
force which the forests exert in equal
izing the evaporation and precipitation
and preventing periods of inundation
and drouth.
