yards. The land forces now concen-
trated in south Manchuria have
reached approximately quarter of
a million with as many more ready to
be forwarded from Siberia in case of
war. This is considered here as a
force fully capable of taking care of
all the brigands that China may pro-
duce.
On the part of the Russian navy a
like activity prevailed. From a fleet
of only 23 ships in all the orient, hQr
armament has grown to formidable
one of 80 vessels. including torpedo
boats and destroyers. Port Arthur
has in addition two of the latest sub
marine craft.
Meanwhile Russia gained time by
promising evacuation and so account
ed for each new movement of troops.
But at the same time she moved
southwark and took possession Of the
valuable Yalu forests without Korea's
permission. Japan effectively con-
trolls the southern portion of that
country through the Seoul Fusan rail-
way. Anticipating war, Japan has
for some time been transporting mu-
nitions of war guised as railway sup
plies to Fusan Notwithstanding her
agreement with Russia for the preser-
walton of Korean neutrality.

Arthur, Niuchwang Balandin in Man
churia, and Wiju in the Yalu province
of northern Korea. At that confer
ence were present almost all Russian
officials of note in the far east, clear
ly demonstrating Russia's purpose
and the seriousness with which she
planned.
Immediately following that council
strong forts were built on the Suan-
Han-Chen mountains overlooking Port
Arthur on the north and to the south
the Notifications overlooking the sea
were greatly expanded. The garrison
there was increased to 10000 men and
equipped with $40 pieces of artillery.
These latter include 60 Schneider
rapid-fire guns capable of delivering
about % shots of 22 pounds each in
minute, and IL dynamite guns hurl-
ing projectiles of 1000 pounds weight.
There are about 80 secret batteries
perfectly concealed and equipped.
Similar precautions were made at
Nieuchwang and Kaliewhan. and at
each of these ports the anchorages
were literally planted with the new
Labede torpedoes which automatically
break from their anchors. and like

WASHINGTON, Oct 2o.-In spite
of repeated assurances from the va
rious departments of the government
that in no manner now foreseen can
the United States become involved
in the threatened war between Russia
and Japan over Manchuria and Korea,
1t is a significant fact that the mill
tary information bureaus of both the
army and navy were never more act
i've than at the present time. 1t Is
admitted, by Secretary Moody at
least, that the government Is fully
Informed Of the situation and that the
Asiatic squadron although 1t sailed
this week for more favorable winter
cruise in the south, Is still watching
developments in and around Port Ar
thur and Korean waters. Army Of
ficers are no less observant and even
the state department is daily adding

So far as can be ascertained here
the council OF war held at Port Ar
thur last July decided that Russia
was not then sufficiently prepared to
defy the powers by retaining Man.

quested that the embalming process be
postponed, and at the suggestion all IN

Williams, who resides near Reeb sta

up on the country farm road. He had
been in Belleville and on his return
home had fallen from his wagon. Some
one notified the undertaken that dead
man was lying in the road a few miles
out of town. An ambulance was sent
for the body.
When the ambulance returned the
presumed dead body was placed in the
undertaking rooms and preparations
were made to embalm it. AT this mo-
ment Williams recovered from the
shock he had sustained in falling from
the wagon and put an end to the ar
rangements.
