ria will be made a cdsMs beii by Japan.
Russia is under pledge to the United Stat es
10 begin tho evacuation Of Manchuria
Now that II is evident that she has no in
tention to fulfil her promise. any aggres-

with pretext for her failure to keep her
agreement. Japan has no intention CT
doing anything that would relieve Russia
from the embarrassment OF her position
toward the United States Government.
War between Japan and Russia, IL 1t
comes will have it's cause in Russian de.
signs upon the Corean peninsula. Any

pedo boats, with forty officers and 500 men.

ten days suffering from a gunshot wound
in the left thigh. which he received in the
Adirondacks, is not the victim Of an acct
dental discharge CT gun in his own hands,
as was at first reported. He was shot with
a rifle in the hands Of some unknown per-
son. and the victim ia charitable enough
to say that he believes that he was mistaken
for deer.
MIR. Forth is e contractor, and on the
day he was shot he called at the Vanderbilt
camp on Rquette Lake for the purpose OF
making an estimate on some work along
the road about five miles from the camp,
Suddenly he heard bullet whiz through
his hat brm, cutting good sized hole in
it. Almost Immediately second bullet
followed, which hit him in the left thigh.
Though in great pain, Mr.. Forth had
sufficient presence Of mind to remove his
shirts and with these to bind up the wound
He put stick through the bandages and
twisted them es tight as he could to stop
the flow of blood. He then started to
crawl back.
He had gone about two miles when he
tainted, falling, however. in such manner
that the bandage was held tightly about
the wound, thus preventing death from
less of blood. He YVES found by Richard
Collins, Mr.. Vanderbilt's caretaker, and
subsequently removed to st. Luke's Hos
pital in this city.
Besides suffering from loss Of blood
and exposure he has an ugly wound.
The bullet was of the mushroom kind. that
spreads and fattens when an object is
struck. This increases the difficulty in
treating the injury

Officers OF the Government are evidently

unable to form any opinion as to the out

aware that Japan and Russia are pre-
pairing for war, but this does not neces-
sarily mean that war is inevitable. How

assurance to the United States, of evacuat-

tory. which is contiguous to Corea, is a
question that is much discussed here. While
views differ. the hope is general that Japan
will insist upon Russia carrying out her
promise to withdraw her troops and will

here has crystallized into marked partisan
