"Evacuation Day"

This Is the day upon which Russia !
pledged herself to evacuate. Man
churia, but the picturesque liars at
st. Petersburg have apparently made
no arrangements to evacuate any part
of that territory, In fact, nobody with
even a superficial knowledge of Rus
sia's ways believed for a moment that
the movement would take place.
Russia is in secure possession of
northern Manchuria, thru which the
, road from Vladivostock runs; she has
the country strongly garrisoned and
) has brought thither thousands of her
: own peasant population and settled
= them upon the land, and is strength
. ening herself in every way. In the
southern portion of Manchuria a

! and the possession Of Newchwang and
control of the big traffic on the Lao
:, river and her railway is Russia's OBJ
jective. She has made big fight to
Z; bully China into yielding tamely to
? her absorption of this valuable re-
gion. If she carries out her purpose,
the powers who have held to the
4 maintenance Of the integrity Of China,
among whom is the United States,
will be put on their mettle to main
- tain their position. ... ~

with a mere demand fora repeal ST
the stone and timber act, but has held
that it must be superseded with legis-

why immensely valuable timber land
should be disposed Of by the govern
ment at $3.50 an acre. 1t deprives
the government of it's rightful revenue

anne Appleton Tribune sizes rn I

The Appleton Tribune sizes up the
gubernatorial situation as follows: =75}5s.
Some strong man outside of the recog-
nized candidates, Van SAINT, Dunn and
Eddy, ought to stand an excellent show to
secure the republican nomination for gov
ernor next summer. The situation is SO
peculiar that none Of the three candidates
named above will be able to command suf-
fctent,i support unless matters should
change very aterially from now on It
seems that a new man would almost be
welcomed into the arena. The third term
argument is a strong factor against Van
SAINT. Dunn's interview in which he ex-
pressed his sympathy with Jim Hill on the
merger question tells strongly against him.

tract 1aborers for Canadian concern, but

cold meats and cold buildings, with

Of tidal waves" for, though the
waves In any given series differ ap.
probably in size, the difference Is
rarely IL ever enough even to begin to
accoun for the damage that one par.
ticular wave among the many harm
less ones often does. Officers on the
bridge Of the Teutonic, despite the
sharp watch ahead which they were
doubtless keeping, saw no notable ag-
%gregation Of water approaching them,
and the reason they did not was that
there was none to see, says the New
York Times. What they did notice
was a lively sea, with the usual vari-
atoms in the distance between its ele-
vations and depressions. Then the
vessels stem CHANGED to strike one

tract.
