Russia is Rushing Troops to Man
 churia.

Moscow. Nov. 16.-The Russian military re-occupation of Moukden, Manchuria has caused such tension and has aroused such an aggressive attitude on the part of China that the continued dispatch of troops to the Far East Is now said tc be directed against China. despite the pacific turn of the Russo-Japanese dis pute.
 Troops totaling 25O.0O0 were ordered tc the Far East when hostilities appeared imminent and they are being continually drafted from the Government of Moscow and the nine surrounding provinces.
 With the troops already in the Far East this will give Russia an overwhelming force with which to overawe China.

The present Maori members of parlia-

years ago were decidedly unconyen-

habits. 1t was nothing unusual to see
one OF them stroll into the house with
section of shark protruding from
his pocket, and judging from the ex-

caught AS they knew only their own
language, each sentence of their
