their latest advices from Paris, it would
probably be equally difficult for Rus

Says Answer Has Not Been Sent.
TOXIC, Dec. 2l.-Japan's answer to
Russia has not yet been sent. Owing to
the indisposition of the Russian minis
ter. Baron de Rosen, it will probably be
delayed for day or two.
Hopes to Avoid Rupture.
Paris, Dec. 21- Russia has made an
other move toward avoiding rupture
with Japan, and there is reason to be-
lieve it will be followed in few days by
the submission of a second proposition
tending to ameliorate the present
strained situation. The action already
taken consists in giving assurances that
the first proposition which the car ap-
proved was not in any sense an ulti-
matum, or sine qua non, but was pre-
liminary step tending toward pacific
adjustment. This declaration is con-
sidered by the officials here as remov-
ing one of the most dangerous aspects of
the situation, as it had been asserted
that Russia's proposition was practi-
cally an ultimatum, which, on being re-
jected by Japan, made rupture GER
tain. On the contrary, Russia's assur-
ances permit Baron De Rosen, the Rus
sian minister at Toxic, to continue the
negotiations, even beyond the terms Of
the first proposition.
The Russian authorities have not yet
definitely been advised of Japan's re-
lection Of the proposition, but II the
rejection is officially communicated an
other Russian proposition will be made.
looking towards the avoidance Of rup-
ture. The nature of the terms of this
further proposition is not disclosed, as
1t depends on Japan's reply, but Russia's
intention to make another proposition
is considered to be distinct ameliora-
ton Of the situation.

Characteristics Of the Editor 81 the

"A conspicuous British invader at
the moment is Mr.. St Leo Strachey
editor Of the famous Spectator. No
one who studies his portrait will ques-
ton the strength Of the character
back Of the countenance, but, to our
mind. Mr.. Strachey's most pleasing
characteristics are his !ncisiveness
and breadth. It goes without saying
that his early education was neglected
because, forsooth, this is his first
visit to America; nevertheless. he
knows g deal more of our country
than many Of ourselves know, and.
while viewing our idiosyncrasies with
that amused tolerance which no true
Britisher can hide and which, in turn,
Is amusing TO us, he Is the most con-
spicuous, consistent and stanch
friend Of the United States to be found
IN London. He is also, in our judg-

Sails for Skaters.

Considering the number of persons
in this country that indulge in skat-
ing, it is somewhat of surprise to
see how few of them have ever used
a skate sail, or in fact have ever
heard Of such a thing. However, in
the last few years this sport has be-
come better known, and it is not an
uncommon sight to see dashing hith-
er and thither among the dark forms
Of the skaters, the glistening sails Of
the skate sailors.
To the onlooker it seems at the first
glance that the sailor must certainly
lose his balance and topple over, so
sharply does he lean backward
against his sail; but so strong is the
force Of the wind exerted against it
that this expected fall is seldom q
reality. When it does happen the un-
fortunate is usually a novice.
There are but few requisites for the
enjoyment of this pastime. First
and of the most Importance is a pair
OF sharp skates. A few yards Of cot
ton cloth and some small poles fur
nish the rest Of the material. From
these any person can with little care
fashion a sail that will furnish him
with many happy hour. Country

When they awoke the next morning

in the afternoon when the Great West

the slip on this side of the river and
the Continental Limited was pulled of

DINERS WHO BECAME NOTED.

MiIner, schreiner and steyn Guests at

Some twenty years ago there used
to dine at the Inner Temple, London,
three young men whose careers in life
were destined by fate to cross in
very remarkable manner At that time
these three young embryo lawyers
were comparatively unknown to each
other; their names were Miner,
Schreiner and Steyn. The position of
each of these young law students is
now too well established to need much
comment. Miner now rules the
Transvaal colony, Schreiner is the for
mer premier of Cape Colony and Steyn
the former president OF the Orange
River Colony. Their names are IA
miliar to everyone in the civilized
world, but their work is by no means
over; indeed, in the present position
Of affairs it seems likely that their
names will be much before the public
for some time to come in connection.
