Tertiary for accepting brides from fall

conclusion by different methods. The
majority opinion, which was written
by Judge Lewis and concurred in by
Chief Justice Start and Justice Col

pared for eventualides. During the
day the mobilization Of the Manchu-
rian reserves was announced.
e has been well knoWaS for months
that Russia has been steadily strength
ening her army and navy in the far
East to meet the preparations which
Japan was openly making: The avail
able warships were dispatched to the
far East and" the last division. which
left the Mediterranean a month ago,
is now Qearing it's destination. Quiet
", but surely, it was necessary that
Russia's preparations should keep
pace with those of her diplomatic ad-
versary. The feverish activity OF
Japan during the last few weeks
naturally increased the distrust of
her ultimate intentions and the Rus
sian authorities have been pushing
tlelr precautionary measures Win
more vigor. 1t is understood that six
or seven military trains daily have
been going east over the Siberian
road and the charters of some ships
cargoes for the Pacific have been can
celled because, the water route was
considered too slow.
The authorities now feel that the
situation is secure should Japan re-
ject Russia's proposition.
The draft Of Russia's reply probably
will, be submitted to the car within
twenty-four hours It is stated that
it will be pacific and should "lead" to
settlement.
The Russian papers agree that
treaty guarantees covering Manchuria
and permission for Japan to fortify
Southern Korea, making a closed sea
Of the Sea Of Japan, are impossible.
