Learning that a S6o0,O0O order
for tunnelling machiney has been
placed in the United States by Rms
sian contractors, the German papers
are renewing their attacks cn the
government for having allowed its
pleasant relations with Russia to be
disturbed. This was grave error,
according to the newspaper critics,

ing German industry.
Helena, Mont, Jan. 1.-THE Hon..
Joseph Kemp Toole was inducted
into office today as the chief execu-
tive of the state at 20 minutes to III
O'Clock. The event was far more
important than it promised to be,
inasmuch as in a brief speech the
governor outlined his political po-
sition and repeated in strong and
unmistakable language that he was
not senatorial candidate and would
not accept that office if given to him.
The British admiralty has decided
to build two ships which are intend
ed to be the largest in the world.
The distinction of having the largest
warship has hitherto been beld by
Italy, with the Lepanto and her sis
ter ship, the Italia. Great Britain's
two projected large warships, to be
respectively named the Queen and
tie Prince of Wales, will be 5000
tons more than the Italian ships men
toned, reaching the enormous dis
placement of $4,000 tons, which is
$500 tons heavier than Americas
biggest armor clad vessel. These
tremendous British vessels will
carry nothing larger than Pinch
guns.
Ambassador Choate will deliver
at once to Lord Lansdowne, secre-

the British government to accept
the amendment. England will un-
doubtedly put out feelers as to
whether the United States are will
ing to concede something in return
and particularly the Alaskan bound
ary. While Mr.. Choate has no in
structions yet on this point it is con-
sidered in diplomatic circles that the
United States, will not make the
slightest concession and that ulti-
mately England will accept that
amendment treaty.
