the movement of her soldiers is merely
an experiment, without any hostile sig
nificance.
The Indian government has assured
itself that the Ameer is in good health
and that there is no prospect of any
change in his attitude to his British al
lies
The points Of contact between the
Russian and British empires in Asia
are constantly increasing. The buffer
states are gradually being eliminated
and the time when the frontiers of the
two empires will march together seems
not far off.
To take the case Of Persia 1t has
been lately stated in the Turkestan Ga
zette that the Russian government has
already taken in hand the construction
of the JuIfa-Tabriz- -Hamadan railway,
with a branch line to Teheran, as far as
Bandar Abbas, at the bottom of the
Persian gulf. The work is to be car
ried on under the supervision of officers
of the general staff, with the assistance
of Cossacks. and is expected to be
finished in 1908.
This route has been selected because
it traVerseS the most important dis
tricts for Russia from an economic and
strategic point of view. In Persia as
in Asia Minor Russia's object, pursued
with predetermined tenacity, is to OBJ
tain an outlet to the sea on the south
in order to command the worlds COM
mercial high road to India and to the
far east. The Transsiberian railway
will give her an all Russian route to
northern China but the persistence with
which she is aiming at securing alter
native routes by pushing southwark.
entering into keen rivalry not only with
Great Britain but also with Germany,
and France, working in Asia Minor in
dicates the enormous scale of her ambi-
ton.
Another railway projected by Russia
is to connect her commercial centers
with Central Asia by the shortest route.
It is to from the SOnT6 of E11rOnn9r
Russia to TurkeStan, which possesses
natural resources scarcely inferior to
those of Siberia.
In the development of this railway
policy of Russia it is not necessary to
see only the extension of a great mill
tary empire. The enormous population
of south Russia is showing a CONNER
cia1 development which would be check
ed if not arrested, by enterprises of
pure conquest. Even in Afghanistan
which has so long been the bone Of con-
tention between Russia and Great Bri-
tain, it is held by one school Of British
statesmen that a connecting line be-
tween Merv, through Herat, Candahar
to Quetta, where it would join the com
plete system of British Indian railroads.
would aid in promoting civilization by
developing commerce. Hence, though
there seems little doubt that there is
truth in the rumors of the Russians
moving bodies of troops along their cen
trail Asian railways, it is worth remem-
bering that these are largely used in
the construction of the lines.
These explanations, it appears. have
been accepted by the British govern
ment, which while taking precautions
for self-defense, has shown a DISPOSE
ton in it's general policy not only in
north China, but also in Persia and
Asia Minor, to cooperate with the other
powers where an open door policy is
possible.

FIGHTING JOE'S DAUGHTER
Miss Annie Wheeler Engaged to
Lieut. w. w. Fiscus.

Philadelphia, Feb. 20.-The announce
ment of the engagement of Lieut. w
W. Fiscus, Nineteenth United States in
fantry, now stationed in the Philippines
to Miss Annie Wheeler, the youngest
daughter of Gen. Joe" Wheeler, has
just been received by the lieutenants s
sister, DR.. Blanche F. Graves, of this
city Lieut. Fiscus' acquaintance with
Miss Wheeler dates from the time he
was a cadet at West Point, where Gen.
Wheeler's two sons were his classmates.
Miss Wheeler frequently visited her
brothers at the military academy. and
in this way made the acquaintance of
Cadet FiScuS.
Fiscus served through the Santiago
campaign and shortly after the sur
render of Santiago was stricken with
typhoid fever and was brought with
other sufferers to New York
His life was deSpaired Of but he pull
ed through and he accompanied his
regiment to the Philippines. The trans
port which carried Lieut.. Fiscus to the
Philippines also had as passengers
Gen. Wheeler and his daughter. Miss
Annie Wheeler, who was going out as
an army nurse. Miss Wheeler and her
father are now on their way to the
United States on the transport Warren
The marriage will take place as soon as
Lieut.. FiscuS can obtain leave of all
sence from duty in the Philippines.

ISLANDS WITHOUT OWNERS

A series of low pyramidal masses ap-
peared under the southern sky. 1t was
like a bank of blue fog fringed with
snowy bands. The whole length of our
seaboard formed an ill-defined, cloud
like aggregation resting on the black
water and extending the entire length
from northeast to southwest.
AS we steamed on, the center groups
became more distinct, and the whole
line rose above the horizon, where we
recognized it as the northern exposure
of the South Shetland Islands. During
the afternoon a gentle but piercing wind
came from the land, bringing with it q
CLASSY air and an easy, silvery sea, over
which the new land stood out in bold
relief.
In a general way this coast line re-
scape About the largest islands there
are many small, ice-free isles, or rocks
which are the resting places of SEALS
penguins, cOrmorants and gulls.
On the larger islands, and especially
on Livingston Island, there are high
peaks and rounded, dome-like hills,
which are tipped with snow, but their
sides are bare. The valleys are filled
with large glaciers. which send tongues
out into the sea. We saw no glaciers,
however, which came out for any dis
tance into the water. The limit of the
ice was generally at hiSh-Water mark,
where it wasted away in small frag-
ments
From what we later learned Of the
lands farther south. it is extremely pos
sible that moses and licnens are here
abundant. but there is no hope for grass
or trees.
1t is very curious that this group of
islands, about 100 in number, with 900
miles of accessible coast line and sever
al good harbors, free of ice for much of
the year, should remain unclaimed by
any government and unsettled by hui
man efforts.
It would be a humane mission if our
government would take possession of
this group of islands and place there
q light house, with q supply station for
the preservation of shipwrecked sailors
Vessels are lost in this vicinity almost
every year, and we do not know but
that some poor seamen are now strand
ed on one of the many desolate islands.

MANILA RUM.

New York, Feb. 20-Capt. Frank M.
Wells. chaplain of the First Tennessee
infantry, Z. S. V. who returned re
Gently from the Philippine islands where
he spent eight months. was at the Park
Avenue hotel last evening, and talked
about the bad effects of whisky on
American soldiers in Manila.
Before the Americans went there"
said the captain, there were only three
places in Manila where liquor could be
bought. Now there are over 400 places
where liquor can be bought every hour.
There are ten thousand soldiers in Ma
Mia, and whisky has sent more of our
soldiers to the grave than Filipino bull
lets. For that reason 1 am trying to
abolish the canteen. At Iloilo 1 found
that whisky was sold in the barracks
not fifteen feet from my quarters, and
I reported the matter to the officers. 1
was told that it had been called to the
attention of the colonel three times,
and then 1 went to the provost mar
shal. In a short time the custom was
discontinued 1 never saw so much
liquor on Mississippi steamboat and
have Travelled on a good many, as 1
saw on the transport Indiana on which
l returned. l am not criticiZing the ad-
ministration, for I am an administration
man clear through, but I think if the
extent of the liquor traffic in the Phil
ippines could be realized it would be
stopped"

WARY OF THE BEAR.
Russia's Movements Give Just Ground
For Suspicion.

VI OlAG kAS4OAs
New York, Feb 2O.-The Herald says:
In spite of the pacific disposition of the
present Tsar persistent rumOrs credit
the Russian government with the de-
sire to turn to advantage in Asia the
difficulties in which Great Britain finds
herself entangled in Africa. Certain
recent movements of Russia's diplomat
ic agents and military forces appear to
bear out the inference that the OppOr
tunity is too favorable to be neglected
for pushing the traditional policy of
Russia in her Asiatic advance, at ex
pense of her chief rival on that cOnti-
nent, Great Britain.
Count Muravieff the Russian foreign
minister, is said to have committed an
''indiscretiOn' last autumn during his
visit to Paris, in sounding the French
ministers as to combined action in put
ting pressure on the common enemy
Great Britain. Such an inter tiOa has
been disaVOWed by Russian diplOlratics
in England where the Importance of
maintaining friendly relations so as to
secure the inflow of capital into Russia
in furtherance of the policy Of NJ De
Witte, the finance minister, is fully IN
derstoOd.
But the indication of Count Mura-
Nleff's hostility has unfortunately been
followed by the announcement that
Russia is again pushing her agents in
TO Afghanistan, seeking the establish
ment Of an agency at Cabol; that she is
strengthening her hold upon Persia, in
order to secure an outlet on the Persian
gulf, and that she has moved troops
close to the Afghan border, within d
march or two of Herat and is active in
kashgar, at the other end of the
Afghan border.
The manner in which Russia brushed
aside the clause of the treaty of Paris
which closed the Black sea to her navy
at a moment when France was engag-
ed in her struggle with Germany and
Britain, and the French ally in the Cri-
mean war could make no effective pro-
test lays her open to suspicion and dis
trust when she declares her intention
of preserving an attitude of benevolent
neutrality.
Russia's explanation in the present
instance has apparently been accepted
by the British government-namely, that

A Dozen Men Severely Injured
In a Fight For Possession
Of a Crossing.

Chicago, Feb. 20.-F'ive hundred men
employed by the General Electric Rail-
way company fought last evening with
employees of the Western Indiana Rail
road company for possession of the
Dearborn street crossing of the railroad
company's tracks at Fifteenth street.
A dozen men were severely injured
while fighting and two others were
dangerously hurt as a result of the
wrecking of fourteen cars of junk on
the crossing by the railroad company.
The General Electric company, how
ever. secured temporary possession of
the crossing and succeeded in running
cars across the tracks. A squad of
policemen is now guarding the crossing
to prevent further trouble. The police
have been unable to learn the names of
those injured, as the wounded men were
spirited away by their employers.
The trouble was started when word
was received during the day that the
supreme court of the state of Illinois
had reversed the decision of the ap-
pellate court and dissolved the injunc-
tiOn which for more than a year has
kept the General Electric from crossing
the Western Indiana tracks at F'if-
teenth street. Immediately the man
agement of the General Electric went
ahead to secure possession of the cross
ing.
