HOW TOXIC VIEWS 1T.
Thinks Japan's Very Existence May
BE Involved.

London, Oct. 21.-A dispatch to
Reuters Telegram Company from
Toxic, says:
Russian military activity on the
Korean frontiers is unabted. The i'm
portant newspapers take a gloomy
view. They are inclined to believe Rus
STA does not intend to fulfill her re-
peated promises and declarations, in
which case it will be incumbent on
Japan to take decisive steps for the
sake of her very existence.
THE Japenese gunboat Chiokai was
to have wintered at New Chwang, but
this arrangement has been counter
manded"
A report was in circulation on the
stock exchange to-day that negotia
lions between Russia and Japan had
been broken off, but the Foreign Office
officials here said they had not heard
anything confirmatory of the rumor
This statement was made subsequent
to a visit paid by Baron Hayashi to
Foreign Minister Lansdowne this aft
ernon. The officials of the Foreign
Office added that the report was con-
trary to the general trend of its in
formation.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Only general
confirmation can be secured here of the
report of the extensive fraudulent prac-
tices in the securing of public lands on
the Pacific coast.
The Interior Department officials
have been convinced for over a year
that there we're various combinations
of SPECTATORS seeking control of the
public lands for their own purposes,
and more recently a number of special
agents have been working in the field
to secure evidence which would assist
in stopping the frauds.
A common plan of operation on the
part of the spectators is to buy state
lands, inclosed in areas which are
liable to become parts of forest reserva-
tons. These, it is said, they often Sc
cure for one or two dollars an acre,
whereas, when the reservations are
created, the value is increased to IS or
Sc per acre.
Gov. Chamberlain of Oregon is now
in Washington comforting with the
Secretary of theI Interior regarding
these land transactions. He claims
that the state has lost a considerable
sum in this way, and is endeavoring
Il TO secure a settlement which will reirn-
burse the state
Secretary Hitchcock declines to dis
cuss the question, but says that he will
make a statement at a later day.

CANADIANS DISGUSTED.
Think They Were Sacrificed Upon
Diplomatic Altar.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 21.-British CO.
lumbians have heard the news of the
settlement of the Alaskan boundary
question with feeling bordering on
disgust at what is popularity termed
the sacrifice of Canada by Great Bril-
tar on the altar of political expedi-
ency
The people of Western Canada are
bitter because of this, and the general
trend of the opinion seems to be that
the action of the British commission
ers has started a wave of popular
opinion which may be the opening
wedge of the weaving of Canada from
the patriotic reliance upon the mother
country which has marked the do
minion in the past.
The people feel that it is again a
compromise, a diplomatic settle
ment arranged by the British diplo-
mats and acceded to by the British
commissioners for the sake of main
tanning friendship between Great Bril-
tain and the United States.

LATIMER WANTS ROADS.
Suggests Plan for the Government
to Build Them.

Burlington, Ia, Oct 21.-United
States Senator Asbury c. Latimer of
South Carolina addressed the South
eastern Iowa Good Roads Association
this afternoon. He favored govern
ment aid in highway Improvement He
said:
IAN effort is now being made by some
of the most influential men in public
life to devise some financial scheme
by which the treasury surplus now
taken from circulation under the
Dingley tariff may be put back into
circulation. The scheme is to loan
this money to national banks without
interest. 1 am opposed to this and
feel it would be far better for the
federal government to appropriate
$780, 900 of this surplus per annum
for five years for the purpose of build
ing good roads.
This $500, 900. 900. supplemented by an
additional $500, 100000 from the people
would, in my judgment, meet all de-
mands necessary to improve the roads
throughout the union. The result
would be an increased value of land
throughout the United States, any
where from 10 to so per cent. on $780,
100000 acres of tillable land"

SHE WILL "SHOW THEM"
New BattIeship Missouri Has the
Record for Speed.

Record for Speed.
Boston, Oct. 21.-The new battleship
Missouri to-day proved herself the
queen of the seas in her class in d
speed trial trip over the Cape Ann
course with weather conditions of a
considerably handicapping nature
Steaming over a course of thirty
three nautical miles and return the
battleship made an average speed of
1905 knots per hour, which with tidal
corrections greatly in her favor, it is
believed, will advance it to 1922 Knots.
a new worlds record for battleships of
her class.
The first part of the run was made
against a strong northwest breeze,
which kept down the speed to 1854
knots, but coming back the conditions
were more favorable and the thirty
three knots were covered in one hour,
AZ minutes and 9 seconds, a speed Of
1916 knots per hour.
The big battleship at one time at
tanned a speed of 1875 knots per hour
The contract requirements call for
IS knots, and a margin was very graft
flying, not only to the builders, the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Company, but to the government
officials on board.
The best previous record made by a
battleship in the Missouris class is
that of the Maine, a sister ship, which
was 1898 per hour.

NO HEED To ORDERS
WAS PAID BY CAPTAIN OF AN
AUGUSTA COMPANY.

NOR DID HIS COMMAND, THE GER

Outlook for the Military of Augusta,
Col. Obear Finds, Is Not En-
cOurnging-It Is Said More Than

May Follow Capt. RenkIs Action.
Irish Volunteers Appeared for In
spectiOn with but Eight Men.
Augusta, Oct 21.-Capt. A. j. Renkl
Of the German Guards, Company 1.
Third Battalion, Third Georgia In
fantry, failed to appear with his COM
pany for inspection by Col. Obear to-
night and did not issue any order to
his company to report for inspection,
in accordance with Col. Obears call.
Capt. Renkl is a member of the State
Advisory Board. commandedn company
in the late war with Spain and is an
experienced soldier. His ignoring of
Col Obear's call for inspection could
not be through any lack of knowledge,
but was done after full consideration.
Lieuts. Moreing and Oetjen and sew
eral members of the company were
present, but not in uniform for inspec-
ton. The two lieutenants were clos
eted for an hour in private conference
with Col. Obear. but he refused, after
it was ended, to give any information
about the interview, except to say they
sought to explain Capt. RenkIs alb
sence.
Col. Obear says a standard has been
fixed for the state troops and nothing
will be overlooked.
The outlook for the military at Au-
gusta is quite discouraging. The Irish
Volunteers only showed up with eight
men for inspection Monday night. and
the German Guards failed altogether
tonight, so that it looks like these two
companies will certainly be disbanded.
1t is suggested however, that Capt
Renkl's slight upon Col. Obear tonight
may demand more serious action than
the simple disarmament of the COM
pany. which is understood to have been

GERMANS ARE CHEERFUL.
They Are Not Looking for a Russo
Japanese War.

Berlin, Oct 21-The German govern
ment takes a cheerful view of the
Russo-Japanese difficulties. Russia has
conveyed assurances to Germany that
she will keep strictly on the defensive,
even if Japan occupies Korean ports
in force. Japan may act aggressively
toward Korea without Russia being af-
fronted thereby or making counter
stroke The only limitation Russia
places on Japanese action is that she
must not cross the Yalu river.
The impression that might be derived
from the foregoing definition of Rus
sian policy, it is pointed out here, is
that the negotiations are nearing an
end favorable to japan. But the AS
ISOLATED Press is informed that while
the result of negotiations is still pend
ing, precautionary military prepara-
tions on both sides are going on.

BROOKLYN COMES OVER.
Her Democrats Are Now En- Rapport
with Tammany.

New York, Oct. 21.-Peace has been
declared between the Democrats of
Brooklyn and the Democratic organ
ization Of New York over the matter
of the candidates for controller and
president of the board of aldermen.
Whether the result was brought
about by the surrender of Hugh Nc
Laughlin to Hugh McCarren and
Murphy or through concessions from
Tammany in promises of patronage,
is not known, but whatever the basis
of agreement may be, Mclaughlin and
his campaign committee will now work
in harmony with the Tammany Com
mittee.
The only discordant note was sound
ed by Martin w. Littleton, candidate
for borough president, who insists on
maintaining the attitude taken by him
a week ago, when he declared against
the nominations of Grout and
Fornes.
