SITUATION PACIFIC
Despite This Fact, However, Russia
Hurries Troops Eastward.

London, Oct. ia Toxic dispatch
to the Times says the Russo-Japanese
negotiations are proceeding there and
there is no reason at present to ap-
prehend any but a peaceful issue. The
alleged Russian fort at Yongampho is
now stated to be merely signal sta
ton to communicate with Autung, the
port on the Yalu river, which is to be
opened to International trade under
the American treaty with China.
The Times correspondents in Russia
send elaborate accounts of military
preparations and the hurrying Of
troops to the far east. They state that
two army corps, with an aggregate Of
100000 men. are being modified and
dispatched thru Siberia in all haste
from the military districts beyond
Moscow, Tamboff and Penza.
Want More Money.
It is stated that the war ministry
has already demanded an extra credit
of 25,000,000 roubles for these prep
arations. M. White left the finance
ministry just in time to avoid the dis
agreeable situation. His successor is
said to be hardly able to cope with
the difficulties of the situation.
Reserve officers are being refused
passports abroad and there seems no
doubt, says the Times, that the post
sponement Of the czar's visit to italy
is as much due to the far eastern cri-
sis as to the socialists.
dispatch to Reuters Telegram
company from Toxic, dated yesterday,
says:
Important cabinet meetings were
held yesterday and to-day, and the
impression in well-informed circles is
that Japan will insist on Russia's full
filment of her promises. The news
paper comment is quiet but insistent.
The Nichi-Nichi, the most powerful
paper, believes the st. Petersburg gov
eminent is innocent of the beIlicose
action Of the Russian agents In the
sity for precaution, as the ambition Of
the Russian agents not infrequentIy
precipitates hostilities. The Jill, also
an influential paper, maintains that
the only hope Of peace lies In Rus
sia's fulilment OF her promises

remarks, suggests that the highly edu-
Gated part of the American people
does not increase the population at
all. but, ON the contrary, fails to re-
produce itself. OF course. the sum
mary Is not conclusive on this point
1t covers only the graduates Of SIX
classes of n single university. Yet
there is no reason to suppose that
these classes are exceptional.
The explanation which President
Eliot assigns, and it seems a reason
able one, is that. IN part at least, the
result Is due 10 the late marriages of
college men. who are fortunate if they
find themselves sufficiently established
III their professions at twenty-eight or
twcEty-Hine to be able TO marry.
But this explanation Is not aIl-con-
elusive. Undoubtedly there exists
among the educated and leisure
classes of Americans "a reluctance to
enter into the marriage relation, and
TO accept the responsibilities of pa
ternity and maternity, which augurs
| i'll for their own perpetuation.

Louis Philippe's Futile Plot.

King Louis Philippe's idea. OF course,
was that Queen Isabella's marriage
would remain without issue and that
her younger sister Louise and his son,
the Duke OF Montpensier. would in con-
sequence succeed 20 her throne This
disgraceful conspiracy, while it may BE-
said to have wrecked the life OF Queen
Isabella. resulted in failure all along the
line. For the Queen gave birth 20
number OF children, in spite OF all the
prog 1ostications to the contrary. The
advent OF each new baby rendering mora
remote the chances of the Duchess of
Mont pensier's succession, and her hus-
band more embittered against Queen
Isabella. The Duke of Montpensier be
came in time the most detested man in
the peninsula. and to this day even his
name is execrated. so mUCn so that

that any match between the young Duke

OF the death of the Hon Thomas H
Tongue. who represented the First dis
trict in Congress. Now that the Sena-
toriaI contest is settled Mr.. Geer is a
candidate to fill the vacancy in the
House. but the prospects for his success
are not bright.
There was a number OF scandals dur
ing the administration of Governor Geer
which his opponents are using effectively
against him. One was the report that he
had received 81 900 for a certain ap-
pointment which he made. although a
State which pays it's chief executive the
meagre salary Of only $1,000 a year
ought to expect nothing better than the
barter and sale of public Offices at his
disposal. for even the governor OF a
State should have some reward and COM
pensation for his services.

for the Congress vacancy are at
least haIc a dozen candidates. chief
among them being the Hon. L T. Har-

Germany in the Caribbean.
No Reason for Designs on Her Part
Against Brazil and Colombia.

A6aAAoN DAAIAA anu SOAoAAbAd-
limitations come from Berlin that
Germany has no idea of recalling her
ships from the Caribbean, but means
to use them for enforcing claims
against Brazil and Colombia. Until
they are confirmed, II is not best to
take them seriously. There Is no
parallelism between Venezuela and
the other republics.
Venezuela had been long in arrears
in meeting her just obligations.
President Castro was In n truculent
mood, and there was doubt whether
he could pay the claims against
Venezuela If he would, and whether
he would if he could. Within reason
able limits there was justification for
putting pressure upon Venezuela.
As TO Brazil, the country Is not IN
solvent. 1t has not repudiated any
of its obligations. There Is not the
slightest ground for supposing that
it Will not pay every debt which 1t
honestly owes. As in most South
American countries into which for
eign capital has entered for railroad
building or other purposes, there may
be disputes over concessions. There
may be claims and eounter-claims.
But these are open TO settlement
IN ordinary ways, and afford no pre-
text for coercion. As far as Colon
bia is concerned. although the repub-
lie has been racked by revolution for
three years. and Is only just now at
peace, there are no known claims
against the government which have
reached the stage of diplomatic rep
resentation, to say nothing Of collec-
ton by force.
There are excellent reasons why
Germany should not precipitate a
quarrel with either Of these republics.
In Brazil there are large German col
onies. and there have long been sus-
picions that Germany, sooner or later,
would find III their existence an oc-
casion for interference in the po-
IiticaI affairs Of the republic.
! If she were TO undertake cOercive
measures now, she would greatly
strengthen these suspicious As to
Colombia, it Is across that republic
that the United States Is about to he
gin the construction of an inter
oceanic canal. If Germany were to
undertake TO cOerce Colombia. II
would be impossible to avoid the con-
clusion that she intended to impede
either the construction Of the canal
or its complete control by the United
| States.

Congress adjourned without provid-
ing n remedy.
The necessity of action being con
coded, the only question remaining is
whether The action to be taken should
be such a. * desired by Governor
Taft and his associates on the Philip
pine Commission. who are face to
face with existing conditions, and
have to deal with them officially. or
whether it should be of a kind they
deprccatc and protest against.
That Is the essential difference be
tween the House bill and the Senate
bill. Governor Taft has protested
strongly against the introduction Of
American currency, while he warmly
urges the provision for q gold peso
embodied I'm the Senate bill.
When the question was up in the
House, the situation was somewhat
clouded by statements TO the effect
that the Treasury officials were in
favor of the House substitute But
that has been shown to be an error.
Given. therefore. the alternative
between giving the islands what they
want, and what would be injurious to
then, IT ought not to take Congress
long to choose.

Education and Birth Rate.
College Bred and Leisure Glasses Do
Not Perpetuate Themselves.

MOI the least interesting feature Of
President Eliot's annual report is his
tabulation Of the vital statistics Of
half a dozen Harvard classes from
twenty-five TO thirty years after
graduation.
The classes are those from 1872 to
1877. inclusive. There are SSl gradu-
ates among them, all told OF this
number, G34 are married; and the
number Of their surviving children Is
1902. Twenty-eight per cent Of
these graduates are unmarried. and
those who are married have on the
average only two surviving children.
so that the married pairs just repro
duce themselves.
President Eliot's obvious conclusion
IS that IT Is out Of the question that
the entering classes at Harvard Col
lcge should be recruited to any con
siderable extent from the sons of
graduates: for. assuming that one
half of the children in this summary
are males. if the graduates Of these
six classes were to send all their sons
to college within the SIX years. 1927,
inclusive, they would only supply 100
freshmen a year.
But there Is a broader aspect Of the
question 10 which President Eliot Is
not indifferent. This summary, he
