JAPAN PREPARING
TO RESIST RUSSIA

London, March 23-The foreign of
flee takes n pessimistic view OF the
situation In the East. in spite of the
settlement of the Ticn-Tsin question,
and cntertains grave fears that the re
lations between Japan and Russia may
shortly reach the danger point.
Judging from information obtained
in various official quarters in London.
Japan has confidcd to at least some OF
the powers her determination to op-
pose at all costs any secret agreements
made between Russia and China by
which the former could secure terrific
rial or other advantages contiguous to
Korea.
The British government has received
no official confirmation that the Japan
ese fleet is mobilizing, but it would not
he surprised to learn that such werc
the facts. highly placed British ofli-
cial said to-day:
"All Japan wants Is n free hand
against Russia. This she has got, so
far as England and Germany are con-
cerncd, and, / presume, so far as tho
United States government is con
cerncd. although | do not imagine for
one moment that any of the powers
mentioned would be drawn into n fight
between Japan and RUSSIA. If Japan
sees nothing for it but to fight, she
would have the moral support Of OBJ
jections committed to paper by at least
two other powers against secret trea-
ties with China. That is all; but Japan
seems to consider 1t sufficient to pro-
vide against interference"
Confirmation OF the foregoing definl-
ton of the situation was afforded by
the secretary Of the Japanese legation.
Yokohama March 23.-The Japanese
press, when discussing the Manchi-
rian convention. recognizes the difficult
ties of Germany's position. and admits
that whatever Japan does, she must
be prepared for war.

Cripple Creek, Colo, March pa
Connection was made yesterday be-

way and its Cripple Greek terminal
The first train arrived in camp and
the last spike was driven. The work
of building an Independent line be-
tween the camp and the city. which
has done so much to foster its indus
tries, is practically completed, and in
a short time regular service will be
established.
1t was 3 o'clock in the afternoon by
the time the train wound its way over
the new track to the city limits. Six
rails had been left out to be laid under
the direction of the directors who were
coming upon the new train. On the
arrival of the train these were quickly
thrown out and spiked down. There
were but two spikes needed to com
plete the connection of the forty-siX
miles of road.
President Irving Howbert, whose ef-
forts of years have finally availed in
giving the camp n more direct connec-
ton with Colorado Springs. crowned
the triumph of his efforts by driving
home a gilded spike specially prepared
for the occasion. james Il. Burns,
president of the Portland, then threw

Chicago Govcrness Turns Cowboy.


Texas, famous for its cowboys, has
feminine cowboy, Miss Fanny Sea-
bride, who leads all her masculine
competitors in the rapdity with which
she has achieved success. Five years
ago Miss Seabrlde left Chicago with a
few dollars in her pocket, II pair of
strong hands, two energetic legs, a
heart full Of courage, and head full
Of ideas. She started for Texas with
the Intention of being governess.
having read from time to time that
there were great opportunities for
teachers in that State of free and easy
ways. She was moderately success
ful in her work as teacher, but there
was not enough money in it TO satisfy
her ambitions, and becoming imbued
with the adventurous spirit bred by
Texas air, she learned 10 ride a
brOncho and handle firearms.
Always on the lookout for chance
to branch out into some other work
than teaching, she found IT when a
renee rider on the famous Horseshoe
Nm ranch was thrown by his horse
and badly hurt while on his way to re-
pair break in the wire fence which
surrounded ii. Miss Seabride knew
him, and she insisted ON taking his Job
She mounted his mustang, and with a
hatchet, wire staples and rifle for
companions, rode thirty miles to the
break, repaired it, and returned in
triumph She Immediately applied to
Colonel Sausome for the position of
fence rider and cattle guard on the
Horseshoe rapch-and she got it, on
trial.
She has held the position for nearly
four years, aud during that period has
killed and scalped 53l coyotes, forty
six lobo wolves, thirty-nine wildcats,
thirteen jaguars and Two black bears.
For the scalps Of these animals she
was paid bounty of S1251.
The shrewd energetic young girl
saved almost every dollar of ner money
from the beginning of her Western
career and invested it in the best
breeds of white-faced cows and calves.
Her wages as fence rider and cattle
guard together with the bounties that
the ranchers paid her for the scalps of
wild animals, amounted TO about $500
n year. Commencing with nearly 100
cows and calves three years ago she
has managed to add about 300 head to
her herd up TO this time. and she has
branded more than 400 calves. 1t is
said that she now owns nearly 1000
head of the prettiest, fattest and most
docile Herefords on the Western
plains. She has recently contracted
for the purchase of a large body of
land In the Pecas Valley, which she
intends TO fence.
