London. October PA dispatch to
Reuters Telegram Company, from
Toxic says:
Russian military activity on the
COrean frontier is unabated The i'm
portant newspapers take a gloomy
view. They are inclined to believe
Russia does not intend to fulfill the
repeated promises and declarations, in
which case it will be incumbent on
Japan to take decisive steps, for the
sake of her very existence. The Japan
ese gunboat Chiokai was to have win
tered at New ChWang, but this ar
rangement has been countermanded.
A report was in circulation on the
stock exchange today that the nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan
had been broken off, but the foreign
office officials here said they have not
heard anything cOnflrmatOry of the
rumor. This statement was made sub
sequent to a visit paid by Baron Hay
ashi to Foreign Minister Lansdowne
this afternoon. The officials of the
foreign office added that the report
was contrary to the general trend of
it's Information.
Berlin, October z1.-The German
government takes a cheerful view of
the Russo-Japanese difficulties, Rus
many that she will keep strictly on
the defensive, even if Japan occupies
Corean ports in force. Japan may act
aggressively toward Corea, with Rus
sia being affrOnted thereby or max
ing a counter stroke. The only llml-
tation Russia places on Japanese ac-
ton is that she must not cross the
Yalu river.
The impression that might be de-
rived from the foregoing definition of
Russian policy. it is pointed out here,
is that the negotiations are nearing
an end favorable to Japan. But the
Associated Press is Informed that
While the result of negotiations is still
pending, precautionary military prep
ara tions on both sides are going on.

remained with home folks until Mon
day morning. There is nothing parti-

it would probably have passed with
out notice, had the young ladies not
walked the distance between here and
Mendon. A seven or eight mile
jaunt may not be such feat, but it is
true that few men care to indulge in
frequent jaunts of this kind and that
young ladies should take it just for
pleasure is worthy of mention. These
young ladies, together with others
from the N. j. A. walked to Mendon
several times the past winter.

users to form an organization of the

resulted in failure, and now the 9Th
and 18th wards, including all who use
water from the little Logan, have de-
cided to organize for the protection Of
their water rights. On next Friday
evening at 1880 mass meeting will
be held in the Sixth ward meeting
house for the purpose of perfecting
temporary organization and it is
urged upon those interested to be pre-
sent and have voice in the matter.
Many of the water users feel the great
necessity of the organization, for as
the matter stands now, most anybody
can infringe on their rights.

Russian Women DOCTORS.

Nowhere is the woman doctor more
in evidence than in Russia. Among
the wild and scattered population OF
this immense country there is an In
exhaustible field for women as doc
tors and teachers and It is the knowl-
edge of this fact which has disarmed
the opposition to their going through
universities. In 1897 Russia had 997
women doctors. and the number con.
rtantly Increases. In this profession
Russian women have made distin-
guished name. They have enormous
practices in the great towns. and are
largely employed by the municipali
ties.
