10 SAY BOTH RUSSIANS AND JAP
ANESE OFFICIALS At
LONDON.
However, Both Countries Are Prepar.
ing for War in Spite of Talk
Of the Diplomats.

London, July 25.-Japan has decided
to observe the policy Of waiting, and
watching Russia, advocated by Great
Britain. In the meantime she will urge
China to carry out the assurances Civ
en- to the United States respecting
Manchura and will endeavor to obtain
the opening Of the additional ports.
At the Japanese legation here the
following statement was made by an
ohcial to the Associated Press:
can assure you that the talk of
war between Russia and Japan is an
invention. Japan has not the least
intention Of taking that course. She
proposes to wait and maintain her at
utude of watchfulness. Japan and
america are acting on the same lines,
and 1t would be difficult for any other
power to Withstand the pressure they
ana Great Britain could apply
1t IS said that Japan intends to do
nothing until October, when the final
evacuation of Manchuria must occur.
1he failure of Russia to withdraw from
Manchuria would be followed by
serious move on the part Of Japan.
The Chinese embassy here regrets
'he confusion which has arisen in con-
sequence Of the publication of the re-
port that Prince Ching, head of the
ohlnese foreign office, had written te
Munster Conger refusing to open ports
IN Manehuria.
The Russian officials believe, with
washington, that the note was sent
before they asserted positively that
nossla intends to carry out to the let

'aat She will not interpose obstacles

weeks. Tickets sold for July % are

Otto II. krause company will present
one of their best productions. After
the performance the ladies will give

in the way Of Chinas observing her
pledge to Secretary Hay.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram
company from ST. Petersburg. dated
July 20, says:
The attitude of Japan and the war
like tone of the majority Of the jap
anese press have attracted much at
tention in official circles here. 1t is
declared by the best informed people
that there is no likelihood of war, GER
tainly not upon Russia's initiative. 1t
is stated, chiefly for financial reasons,
with which they are bound up, that
there is desire for extensive domes-
tic reforms, which the government con-
siders to be the most efficacious man
ner of disarming internal discomfort
and nipping the revolutionary prop
aganda in the bud.
1t is believed to be impossible from
the Russian viewpoint for Japan to
embark in contest with Russia single
handed, and it is not thought she will
secure the material support Of Great
Britain or the United States. Never
theless, Russia is taking every precau
ton to strengthen her military and ma
val positions in the Orient, believing
this to be the surest means of discour
aging Japan's aggression,
"M. Lessar's Port Arthur conference
is said to have dealt chiefly with these
measures, though they are declared to
be entirely precautionary, war being
the farthest thing from the wishes OF
the Russian government.

Duck Shooting on the Chesapeake.

Day Allen Wiley, in Harper's Week
ly: With the last days Of October,
sportsmen by the hundred start for
the upper Chesapeake and It's tribu-
taries. Long before the day breaks on
the first of November the shooting
grounds are occupied, and as soon as
1t is light enough to see a bird the
merry war begins.
The principal methods of shooting
on the Chesapeake are known as
point" bar" and the use of decoys.
Point shooting is only another name
for the blind" which is generally a
box made Of wooden Stats concealed by
a clump of trees or bushes and placed
on the end of a point of and near a
feeding ground. Sometimes a few de-
coys will occasionally tempt q stray
bird to fly within closer range than
usual. The bars are occupied only dur
ing early morning and late in the even
ing, when the light is so uncertain that
the birds cannot see the hunter until
they are within range The bar Is
merely the wooden enclosure, but is not
placed directly in a course between the
feeding grounds, the idea being to shoot
into the lock as they fly directly over
head. The decoy method, however, is
more extensively used, as the hunter
can take his position in a patch of open
water In he midst of the feeding
ground and generally gets more
chances to shoot. In decoy shooting on
the Susquehanna, the wooden ducks
are sometimes placed in "locks" of $50
to 200, covering quite a large area Of
the surface. In the center of the flock
is anchored a sink boat" dubbed n
coffin" on account of its opening in
the center, in which the sportsman lies
fiat on his back. The hole is lined with
heavy canvas or light metal, so that

Repsirina Washinaton,s Tomb.

The exceptionally wet summer has
trld seriously on the walls of the old
mansion at Mount Vernon, n the
managers of the estate have been fear
full that the sandstone walls in the
foundation might crumble away. The
cornerstone, laid two centuries ago on
which the Masonic emblem was deeply
cut, has so d~sintegrated that il was
found necessary recently to remove the
stone and clean off the crumbled parts.
The emblem will be recut and the stone
returned to it's resting place. The old
tomb, in which, until thirty-fiVe years
ago, the bodies of General Washington
ard his wife rested, Is in danger Of
falling to pieces. a contract has been
let to coat the walls with n preparation

with gasoline torches and then covered
with a composition called ~nicolite.

Giants for Rroadwax,s Sound.

New York sun: Deputy Police Com
missioner Piper Tuesday transferred
seven policemen to do duty in the
Broadway squad. All but one are mere
than six feet tall. 1t is Captain Piper's
intention to have the entire squad made
up of tall men who look we'll and have
c!can records. lie has sevcuty-eiSht
answering that requirement in the
squad at present.
The seven transferred to the squad
yesterday, and their heights, are as fol-
lows:
Patrick Purcell, 6 feet 5 inches; Peter
NJ. Duffy, 6 feet 3 inches; John Garg-
ali, 6 feet ! inch; John Hefferen, 6 fest
? inches; Ellsworth =. Carter, G feet .
inches; Benjamin r.. Merritt, 6 feet
2 inches; John y. Hughes, 5 feet l9@s
inches.
Hughes looks quite small among the
others, but for some time he has been
detailed 1T the Chambers street and
Park Row crossing, where he has
shown himself to be an expert IN regu-
lating traffic. Commissioner Piper has
observed his work and thinks he viii,
be useful at some OF the important
Broadway crossings. Only a week ago
RounCSmGn Harry Graham was pro-
NOTED to fe q sergeant and was placed
in the Broadway squad. He is 6 feet 6
inches in height and is the tallest man
on the force.

Chicago Tribune: Half Il century
& what is now the kingdom OF Italy
was divided up into the kingdoms of
Sardinia and the W SiCilies, the
states Of the church, the grand duChy
of Tuscany, the duchiGs Of Parma and
Modena and the Austrian provinces
Lombardy and Venice. The school boy
had more to learn then han he has
now. There has been q similar pleas
ing change as regards Germany. The
school boy no longer has to learn a long
list OF Anhalts and of Hesses. The
map Of Germany has been greatly SIM
plined and improved by the blotting out
Of the tiny states. Perhaps the next
generation will witness a simpliication
Of the map Of South America. There
are on that continent some small and
weak republics which have large, pow
erful and land hungry neighbors. The
three South American lambs are Uru-
quay, Paraguay n Bolivia. The three
lions which have an eye on them are
Brazil, Argentina and Chile. When
ever they can agree On a plan of d.
vision three little republics will cease
to exist.
