CRISIS IN FAR EAST
Russia Chinese Agreement is
Worrying Diplomats
ATTITUDE OF JAPAN
The Mikado's Government
Will Resist Russian Ag-
gressions In Manchuria.

Washington, D. C.-The question
OF Chinese indemnities has given way
for the moment to the more pressing
issue over the conclusion Of the Rus
a-China agreement relating to Man
ohuria. The latter subject has reached
q decisive stage as only three days
remain within which China can con-
firm or reject the agreement. UP 10
the present time neither the state de-
partment nor the Chinese minister
has received any report that China
has rejected the treaty.
There is much anxiety in official
and diplomatic quarters as to the OUT
come, or the active part taken by the
various powers and the threatening
attitude Of Japan give unusual i'm
portance to the conclusions to be
reached within the next few days.
The Chinese minister held CONFER.
ence with Secretary Hay, the Man.
churian question being the subject OIL
discussion. The minister brought no
definite information as to what has
been done on the agreement.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned it seems likely that the last
word has been spoken and there is
not expected to be any decisive pro-
test beyond what already has beeN
given. At the same time it is appre-
oiated that the United States has
large commercial interests in Man
churia, which cannot but be affected
if Oh ina's authority there is practic-
ally transferred to Russia.
JAPAN WILL RESIST RUSSIA.
Shanghai. is no confirma-
ton of the reported concentration OF
Russian warships in Corean waters or
of the rumored mobilization Of the
Japanse feet. While foreign circles
here generally doubt that an outbreak
of hostilities will occur the Chinese
are satisfied that Japan is determined
to resist Russian aggressions in Man
churia.
General Gazelee. who has been in
the command of the British troops at

RUssO-CHINESE TREATY.

cles here, that the Russo Chinese
agreement, now about being signed,
differs considerably from the original
draft, though the precise differences
are no. cb.ainable. Russian states.
men reiterate emphatically that Rus
sia does not intend to assume pro-
tectorate over Manchuria.
REJECTION NOT CONFIRMED.
London. The communications re-
ceived by the British foreign secre-
tary, Lord Lansdowne, do not confirm
the reported rejection of the Russo
Chinese treaty. In fact they indicate
rather the reverse, though the foreign
office says it still hopes the pressure
being brought to bear on China will
have good result.

leo The international boundary line
is formed by a street that divides the
two towns, and the boundary stakes
are set out with very nice regard for
technicalities. There is a saloon there
which has more than local reputa-
ton. and the proprietor is certainly an
enterprising individual. His saloon is
located on the street that divides the
two countries, and at a point where
the dividing line is not clearly defined.
The patron of this saloon buys his
drink in America. and, stepping across
the hall, he buys his cigar in Mexico.
In this way the proprietor avoids the
duty on imported cigars, and can pro-
vide his customers with the best make
at lower prices than most of his COM
petitors.
They tell an amusing story about
an American who imbibed too much
fighting whisky at this saloon. When
he arrived at certain stage he al
lowed his prejudices to get the better
of him, and, standing near the bound
airy line OF his own country, he heaped
anathemas and hurled defiance at the
people across the border. A couple of
Mexican officers stood across the
street., almost within reach of the pug
nacious American, hoping that he
would stroll across into Mexico. He
did get over there after while, al

SUPERIOR TECHNICAL TRAINING.

No nation in the world except the
United States has developed indus
trially more rapidly than Germany.
The empire, organized only thirty
years ago, has become a great manu-
featuring nation, has forced its way
into European, Asiatic and South Ann
erican markets against the COMPETE
ton of England and the United States,
and is fighting resolutely for new ter
ritory. With the growth of a strong
national sentiment, there has been
astonishing progress in all the depart
ments of industry where trained in
telligence and skilled hands play an
important part.
Manufacturers of the United States,
of Great Britain and of France have
inquired into the causes of this rapid
progress in Germany. They agree that
it is largely due to superior technical
education. When the empire was es-
tablished in 1871, the general govern
ment found ready to its hand the tech
nical schools that had been fostered
by the several German states. Under
the policy of the empire all of these
were encouraged, and from them was
developed system of higher technical
schools.

CEASED WAR ON MUsKRATS
BECAUSE OF AID

Charles Nicholas, an Indian guide
OF k1neo, Moosehead lake, to whom
the habits of bird and beast are an
open book. tells the following little
story, which he declares is true, which
Is certainly good enough to be true.
Near the head of Spencer bay is an
extensive marsh, where in the sum
mer time deer are wont to feed and
trolic, where in the fall the lordly
moose comes from off the mountain

The year, muskrats innumerable have
dwelt. Not so far away is a smaller
marsh, where, for many years, col

built close by the waters edge. These
two little communities never ex-
changed calls, but lived and prospered
in happy exclusion. The going out of
the Ice from the lake last spring was
followed by an almost unprecedented
rise or water, and the two marshes in
Spencer bay, the larger one and the
little one. were completely covered.
Now, the muskrats did not mind the
flood bit. Driven from one hole, they
sought another further back, and when
there weren't any more holes these
happy go-lucky Migrants set up house
keeping in huge piles OF driftwood,
never losing meal or wink of sleep.

These industrious property owners SUE

of Moosenead lake at last receded the
ruins of the beavers lodges went with
them. The beavers did not sit and
sulk, neither did they for a moment
think of building again on the same
old site. They sought higher ground,
where the floods of another spring
could not reach them, and SO it came
about one fine morning when the
muskrats came down onto the marsh
to play they found the beaver there be-

has been stated before, but it was not

LABoR'S PARADISE.
That's what = Tourist Calls the United

That's what Tourist Calls the United
States.
THE United States is a paradise for
the workingman." says an American
who has just returned from FIVE
months trip to Europe. Nowhere in
the world is he paid so much for labor
as in this country. The wages here for
farmers and workingmen in industrial
lines are fully 100 per cent higher than
In Europe.
1T is true that in some respects liy-
ing is cheaper in Europe than here.
Rents are cheaper, but the real necessi-
ties of life are higher; meat and bread
are fully 80 per cent higher. The work
ing people in European countries just
drift; they do not live as Americans
do. When they have meat once week
they are satisfied.
There are plenty OF labor unions in
Germany. Austria, Hungary and other
countries. but there are comparatively
few strikes. There is more labor than
demand and the people are glad to get
work at any price. Just now there is
noticeable industrial depression; this
is much felt in England on account of
the war. 1t is the climax of period OF
expansion. Industrial stocks have gone
down materially, and it is felt every
where. 1t is just the opposite of con-
ditions in this country at the present
time; our people are all prosperous
and making good wages.
Another thing which struck me
forcibly is the small salary paid to the
rank and file of the German army.
More than 100000 soldiers there, am
told, get a little less than cents a
day, and out of this they have to pay
for their shoe backing and few 9th
little things. In Austria they get even
less-a little more than cents day
Comparing this scale of wages with
ours. Il makes strong contrast, and II
would seem that we are particularly
liberal"
