Unless Russia recedes from her pres

a conflict that shall shake the whole
world. While the United States may
not be drawn actively into the anticipat-

least of Japan and Great Britain will be
an important one.
While he good faith of Russia in her
occupaney of the vast territory of Man
cbria mas always been doubted, despite
the pacific declarations from time TO tim
by the great Cars ministers, to-day in
most of the chaucelleries of Eurone.
Russia is openly accused of breach of
faith in her latest demands in China.
Already Japan, strained to the break

conflict, has dispatched three of her most
powerful warships 10 strengthen her
squadron in the far East. Great Brit
ain, known to be anxious TO prevent open
hostilties, has taken like action, while
the power Of Russia in Manchuria has
been on a war footing for more than a
year. Quietly and without notice to the
world, she mas been pouring troops into

brated with imposing ceremonials the in
auguration of what is intended to be
the greatest exposition in all history.
The dedicatory program arranged for, the

dition 10 the President and ex-President
other dignitaries and officials, the cabinet,
the supreme Court and members of the
diplomatic corps were present, whilU
many thousands attended from all parts
Of the Union. While the exposition will

MAGNITUDE OF THE SHOW.
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Plann-
ed on a Mngnificent ScaIe.

ed OH hnHu tBCent scale.
The st. Louis exposition. while still
far from complete is sufficiently advanc-
cd 10 show its vast proportions and the
magnificent scale upon which it has been
planned. 1t is the confident claim Of the
ST. Louis people that their exposition
upon its formal opening a year hence
will be found to be the greatest ever
held. and there is 10 apparent reason
why they should not realize their expcc-
tations.
In the decade that has passed since the
Chicago Worlds Fair science invention
and industry have made wonderful pro-
gress and this will reveal itself in many
ways in the St Louis exposition. Within
The same time the United States has so
increased its prominence among the ma
tions that an exposition in an inland city
can far more easily be made 10 attract
International interest and secure exhibits
from abroad than it could IN 1898. En-
position building, itself Il special branch
o. human industry. has become almost an
exact science and ST. Louis has the nd
vantage of the specialists and rhe Pc
rieaee furnished by Chicago. Add 10 this
that the people of st. Louis have devoted
themselves TO this enterprise with mag
nihcent energy and liberality and that
they have the full. ungrudging support Of
the national government. and il may be
understood readily that their achievement
will be worthy Of the attcutior Of The
nations.
ABIDE from its material splcador, The
S. Iouis fair has the nos iuc7us,1erahle
advantage that there is a geuuina occa-
sion for if. X viii mean some hing

Alice Cornelia Thaw is now Countess
of Yarmouth. Amid scenes as impressive
as a lavish display of wealth. the dig
nifty of society and the solemnity of the
stately ritual of the Protestant Episcopal
Church could provide. the marriage of

Miss Thaw of Pittsburg took place in

longs to one of the oldest and modest
families in the aristocracy Of England.
The earl is about 50. and during his ear
ler years he evinced a marvellous capac-
ity for spending money. Three years
ago his creditors called a meeting in Lon

Keeping them company, watching their every action for evidence that could be used against them, are three Canadian de- tectives.
 The suspects consist of four men and a woman, who came out from Atlin on Fridays boat. They had been arrested before they left Atlln, but sufficient ev- idence could not be produced tO hold them. They and their baggage were searched at Caribou, but no gold dust was found. Deputy Marshal Shook was wired at this place to keep watch of the crowd while in the city. This he did,
