I'm THE BALANCE
AVOIDANCE OF HOSTILTTIES STILL
POSSIBLE,
or Russia Would Mean War.
Official German Opinion of the
Situation in the Far East to
That Effect.

Berlin, Oct. l2.-Russia and Japan
act as though either would fight if the
other should hold immovably to the po-
sition taken at toe last exchange of
communications. This is the actual
situation as understood officially from
reports received from the German en-
bassy at st. Petersburg and the Ger
man legation at Tokyo. Yet this mu-
tual attitude of hostile preparation by
both countries is still regarded here as
not excluding an honorable arrange
ment. Neither government has gone
SO far that it must fight or be humii-
ated, but either cabinet, by a single
step, can put the other in that position.
This delicate balance, of course, may be
violently disturbed any day, though no
ultimatum has yet been thrown on
either scale.
1t is believed here officially that war,
should it occur, would be between Rus
STA and Japan alone, and that neither
England or France would be involved.
Frederick the Greats remark was quot.
ed to the Associated Press correspond
ent as illustrating the present posture
of neutrality-suspicious. without weap-
ons behind you are like a musical tone

MUCH LAND RECLAIMED
Result OF Clearing Out of the Col
willie River

Colville, Oct. 1.-The logging crew,
operating along the Colville river be-
tween this city and Meyers Falls have
found it necessary in their work t.
clear the driftwood from the stream
and in some places to cut down the
banks and dredke the bottom of the
river in order to facilitate rafting Of
logs for the mills. The result is that
the river now drains several thousand
acres Of the valley lands that have fol-
years been under water the greater part
of the season and much of it thus rem.
dered worthless.
Drainage districts have been formed
and the citizens have even gone go fan
as to petition the legislature for ap.
propriations to be used in dredging tbs
river. Some of the farms that have
been in the most part submerged and
productive only of tules are now in the
class of the best meadow land IN the
county. The opening of the river fol-
logging purposes has solved the prob
lem at this place, and the same class
of work will be encouraged further w
the valley.

FREIGHT PILES UP.
Congestion i" the Warehouses ~
White HOrSe.


Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 12-With
the water in the Yukon river at White
Horse standing so inches above min
imum low water last Monday, and about
1000 tons Of freight consigned to Daw-
son and lower river ports lying in the
wharves and warehouses at White
Horse, the White Pass and Yukon rail-
way people are not at all happy. Their
discomfort is increasde by the appear
ance of ice on some of the tributaries
of the Gukoon, and at the best it is
considered that there are but one or
two more weeks of northern navigation.
II is exdected that by the Goth all the
stern wheelers will have been called
from the river. Unless some unfore-
seen occurrence should happen the rail
way company will have more freight
On its hands at White Horse than can
possibly be accommodated in the ware
houses at present situated there. 1t is
generally conceded now that many hum
dreds of tons OF Dawson freight will be
stalled at White Horse by the freezing
over OF the river. What will be done
with that freight which cannot be
warehoused lie now bothering both the
shippers and the transportation people.

Monastir, European Turkey, Oct. 10.
The military operations in the west.
ern part of the Monastir vilayet are
nearly finished. The last remaining
band in the district was annihilated
Oct 6, after desperate fight. The
band, which numbered 90 members,
was found by the Turks lurking in the
mountains of Peristeri.
The insurgents, when they became
aware of the presence of the troops,
began to roll huge boulders down the
mountain sioe, thus killing four and
wounding three Of the besiegers. The
Turks maintained steady fire as they
proceeded upward. After desperate
conflict had been carried on several
hours, another Turkish detachment
reached the crest OF the ridge. The
Bnlgarians were thus placed between
two fires They rushed the Turks who
were cilnging to the rocks on the
mountain side and forced them to fall
back to the less PERCEPTIONS slopes OF
the mountains. nut lost IS killed and
number OF wounded in doing 80. The
remainder of the band escaped, but
Saturday arrived and surrendered and
were granted amnesty.

FEDERAL SUPREME COURT
October Term Promises to BE Most
Interesting.

OCTOBER Icfm PROMISES I'D DC N1ost
Interesting.
Washington Oct. 12,-After the usu-
al summer recess the supreme court
met yesterday for the regular fall term.
In accordance with custom no business
was transacted on the opening day. The
members of the new court paid visit
to the president and aiterward held a
brief session to hear applicants for adj
mission to the bar.
The present session promises to be
interesting because of important cases
to be argued. The most important
case will be the appeal of the Northern
Securities Company from the decision
of a special bench OF the United States
circuit court Of Minnesota which de-
cared the company illegal. Two cases
one from Porto Rico and the other from
the Philippines involve the question
whether the Porto Rico and the Phil
ippine acts imposing tariff duties vio-
late the constitution. Another case
will involve tie question whether ma.
tives OF Porto Rico are citizens OF the
United States.
