that the present situation in regard to
foreign affairs is one of considerable
will say tomorrow's Specta-
tor in a long article on the effect of the
Russian-Japanese war on International
especially the relations be-
tween Russia and Great Britain. The
Spectator points out how Russian feel
ing or resentment against Great Brit
ain is steadily rising, the Russians be-
ing convinced that the British have
been the chief cause of their difficult
ties by encouraging the Japanese to go
to war"
Without considering whether there
is any truth in this view, continues the
Spectator, the important fact is that
it is held by the Russian people and
that public opinion is in such a state
of excitement that war with Great Brit
ain would be extremely populaE>''
Proceeding to explain while the mil
itary party should try to escape the
of a possible defeat by a
small Asiatic power" the Spectator
remarks: "A great European war

or up an unpopular one and give the
Russians an excuse to make peace with
Japan. or Withdrew from Japan's reach
and so stauncb the bleeding in men
and money new going on in Manchu-
ria"
Further. according to the Spectator.
military men in Russia believe that
war against Great Britain would be
conductti in company with Germany
ara France and present no risks to
russia, as the brunt of the fighting
would fall on France and Germany,
whose colonies could be taken in event
OF the British being victorious while
the Russian fleet has already gone and
'ireat Britain could not inflict injury
Oh Russia"
The Spectator proceeds to warn tho
press against giving Russian occasion
for picking a quarrel. especially referr-
ing TO The "aggressively anti-Russian
tone " the Times. and the impre ssion
OF craftsmanship which," it declares. cit
~ tiifficult to COndOne or even UNDER
stand"
Continuing. the Spectator will say:
That the Times should give Occa-
sion to those who beside To embroiI
Russia and Great Britain Is rendered
more remarkable by the fact that the
Times has done much excellent service
In pointing out the trend of German
policy. 1t is to be feared that the harm
con" by the want of restraint original
~ shown by the British press cannot

papers should realize the need of not
playing into the hands of the military
party IN 1tussia. or providing material
for those who desire to prove to France
that her ally has been treated in an
unfair and hostile spirit by the British
people. While explosives are lying
about. there is always need Of extra
care ana circumspectiOn."
The Spectator concludes with urging
the government to be vigilant and
have its plans prepared for all emer-
Scncies, saying:
I'VE must look the facts in the face
and prepare to take the consequences
OF the Japanese alliance. One of those
consequences was the active and bitter
hostility of Russia and the opportunity
afforded to the German Emperor to
knock the heads Of the European pow
ers together and get something of adj
vantage to his OWL nation"

mark showed % feet, 1 inch in the Allie
shcny river at that point. -
The water is now slowly receding and
no further danger is unprecedented, the
cold wave having checked the rise.
The damage done by the flood will
probably not exceed $250,00O. Along
Pine Creek and in the Turtle Creek val
ley the havoc was beyond any done in
recent years. In the two cities it was
not so great, but many Industrial cs-
Establishments along the two rivers we're
compelled to close down and thousands;
of men were thrown out of work. The
railroads suffered to an unusual extent
and landslides added to the handicap
imposed by the high water itself. The
northern lines are still crippled, hui
their railroad officials expect to have
all trains running as usual before
nightfali.
Considerable Inconvenience and suf-
fering was caused in the flooded dis
trict by the sudden drop in the temper
allure and a shortage of natural gas.
While the rise came with unusual sud-
dcnncss and many narrow escapes were
reported. SO far as known here there
were no lives lost in the flood.

Wells, Fargo Detectives Have Not Yet LO-
Gated the Missing 81 5000 Which
Disappeared Last Week.

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-The detec-
tives of Wells, Fargo & Co. are In
search of the man or men guilty of
stealing the $4,000 which mysterious
ly disappeared a week ago from the
forwarding department Of the express
company. All hope that the miss
ing money eventually might be found
in one Of the eastbound coin safes,
where 1t was thought it might have
been placed by mistake has been aban-
doned.
Reports have been received from all
points to which coin safes were shipped
on the day the coin disappeared. The
money has not been accounted for,
and the only theory left for the OFF,
cials of the company is that it has been
made away with by some one.
The detectives are said to be working
on the theory that some one from the
inside is to blame, as the officials are
positive in their statements that IL
would be practically impossible for
an outsider to get at the money in
any way.

| cides Against Naval Oficers Re.
specting Extra Pay.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Justice Brown
delivered the opinion of the supreme
court of the United States in the case
of c. NJ. Thomas VS.. the United States,
involving the rights of naval officers
In respect to extra pay under the navy
personnel acts of 1900 and 1901. The
opinion is in favor of the government.
The claim presented was that naval
officers who go to sea should be al
lowed ten per cent. in excess Of their
naval pay because the increased al
lowance is made to army officers who
are assigned TO duty at sea or at q
foreign port. the purpose Of law being
the assimilation of the salaries of
army and navy officers. Mr.. Thomas
Is captain in the navy and made
claim for the extra pay because of SER
vice in the Philippines. in China and
at sea. Most of his claims were al
lowed by the court Of claims, but this
decision was to-day reversed.
