rely upon. He doos
single adviser whom he daTes tfusel
not one friend who does not seek
personal advantage, and he is sur.
rounded by persons who by long
training and experience know how
to keep him in ignorance of every
thing which they do not desire
him to know.
Ii was the oligarchy, that fears
the day when Gar Nicholas shall
carry out his plan of sharing the
responsibility Of government with
his people, that kept him in ignor-
ance of the miserable condition of
the Russian army, that disguised
from him the true situation in the
far East, that prevented him from
making a friendly arrangement
with the Ambassador from Japan,
and who precipitated the war
which has already cost Russia so
dearly.
The reports that the Gar cried
when he was informed that war
had actually broken out are cruel
ly untrue and not believed by any
one who knows his strong, manly
personality; but, having always
abhorred war, the very thought of
the useless sacrifice of thousands
of young men, he would have con-
coded to every reasonable demand
of the japanese government sooner
than have allowed a crisis to hap
pen.
As matters stand Russia is inn
peratively driven to find an eco
nomic base in the far East. Chi.
nese industry, Monaghan and
Manchurian gold are to provide
the sinews of war. The only al.
tentative to the realization Of this
dream is ruin.
Even without taking into con-
sheraton the present costly war,
the strength of the nation is con-
tinually being Slapped, dishonesty
in the administration is on the in
crease and in spite of railways and
telegraphs the government is less
able to keep its army of officials in
order. The exaggerated system of
bureaucracy naturally leads to a
condition of anarchy which is to-
day felt everywhere above and be-
low. Independent activity and
national independence are being
ground to powder.
| shall give here only one exam
pie of the paper administration Of
this gigantic Empire. Somebody
has calculated that if one of the
Ministers were to set out on a
journey abroad and accomplish it,
all the ofTicersin the Empire would
be informed of this event by Off
cial notices to the number of
1000.
But perhaps the most serious
danger for the future of Russia is
the complete lack of a powerful
middle class which knows what it !
wants and means to get it. One of
the most conservative and easily |
the most truthful of Russian pa
pers, the Noxoe Vremya, in re-
cent editorial says:
at is a fact that at the present
not only our villages, but
eveEA-pr district towns, are falling
into decay In the first place, the
humber of their inhabitants has
remained stationery in most of
them for decades past. So ancient
a town as UgIitsch has, even like
many others, declined in popula
tion, its former figure of $4,000
inhabitants being now only 5000.

ents and children.
The newborn baby is generally
from the first day not treated with
love, but as a burden. 1t lies in a
box suspended by hook and is
rocked there by the foot of the
knitting mother until it falls asleep
or is put to sleep by the ever ready
poppy juice.
1t is brought up in pestilential
atmosphere upon the most inferior
kind of food. 1t has no strength
and easily pines away if nature has
not endowed 1t with an iron con
stitution. For this reason one
half or more of the children die at
an early age.
When one contrasts this fatal
policy of drift with the methods
obtaining in Japan, where every
thing is run on the most np-to date
and scientific principles, it is easy
to see wherein lies the weakness of
this colossal Empire.

WISCONSIN STATE NEWS,
Students Are ANGRY

HUNDREDS of the students of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, having been I'M
successful in an attempt to hold up
the faculty to grant concessions in light
ening and the omission entirely of the
annual final examinations will absent
themselves from the elaborate celebra-
ton of the university. So general is the
feeling that it is prophesied that when
the occasion comes for the expenditure
of the $4,000 jubilee fund the city Of
Madison will be practically depopulated
of the students other than those who are
obliged by the requirements of gradua-
ton exercises and comforting of di-
plomas to remain. The students in some
quarters of the university community
are violent in their attitude, because the
faculty insists on the regular amount of
work in week less time than usual. and
has refused the concessions that the stu
dents say were promised early in the
plans for the jubilee

seal and to secure her access to the por-
ton of the Gambia river navigable for
ocean-going vessels. The actual area
thus coded to France is about 80 square
miles. The group known as the Los
islands, situated opposite the Port of
Konakri, is also ceded to France.
England agrees to readjustment OF
the frontier line between the Niger and
Lake Chad, which, by bringing the
boundary further south, will give the
French route through fertile coun-
try, thus saving them the detours into
the desert necessitated by the present
frontier which was agreed upon between
England and France in 1898. Roughly
speaking, we have relinquished about
half the region included in the arc round
Sokoto, and on the Lake Chad end of the
frontier a tract of territory about $50
miles in length and from so to 70 miles
in width, the boundary line here being
marked by the Komadugu river.
The expansion of both English and
French influence in the orient brought
the two nations together along the banks
of the Menam river in Siam Now both
nations confirm the declaration of 1896,
under which British influence to the west
of the Menam valley and French infiu-
ence to the east of it are recognized.
Both governments repudiate all idea of
annexing Siamese territory.
In the South Pacific the national inter-
ests clashed in the New Hebrides islands.
To settle this the two governments
agree to appoint commission to decide
land disputes between their respective
nationals, and thus put an end to the diff
ficulties caused by the absence of juris-
diction. The New Hebrides have been
under the joint protectorate of Great
Britain and France since 1887. The
group lies about 1000 miles off the east
coast of Australia, and consists of some
40 islands which stretch for about 800
miles north and south. A little to the
southwest lies the French convict settle
ment of New Caledonia. The islands
are extremely beautiful and fertile, and
large plantations have been established

heights which dominate the right bank
of the Sebu river.
Newfoundland-The settlement of diff

ing the surrender by France of the So

the right to fish in the territorial waters
off the west coast of the island, hitherto
a privilege claimed by France
New Hebrides-The appointment of
the commission to decide land disputes
between the two nationalities, which will
give much satisfaction in Australia,
where feeling has run high over the
threatened French predominance in the
New Hebrides.

points:

PAPER TREE SORELY NEEDED
Manufacturers Must Find New Ma
terial to Supply the Grow
ing Demand.

Experiments in making wood pulp for
the manufacture of paper are soon to be
begun by the department of agriculture.
Secretary Wilson believes this to be a
most important matter, because the for
ests are rapidly being denuded of tim
Der thought suitable for woodpulp, states
the New York Herald
Already the experts of the bureau of
chemistry, under the direction of H. w.
Wiley, have demonstrated that pulp for
paper-making can be made from sew
eral other woods than spruce and pop
lar, and that many plants and shrubs
can be successfully used.
One of the chemists of the departm ent
has been in Maine making an inves-
tigation of methods in use there. The
experiments so far made, while dem
onstrating that many varieties of trees
and shrubs are available for pulp-mak-
ing, show that their practicability for
commercial use is not known.
During the next year experiments will
be conducted with view to obtaining
all possible information. When con-
illusions have been reached efforts will
be made to have pulp manufacturers
continue the departments experiments
on larger scale.
Experiments have been made with cot
ton stalks, but while these make an ex-
cellent quality Of paper, there are not
sufficient stalks to make newsprint pa
per in commercial bulk. Bagasse, the
tracted, has also been used successfully
in the experiments, and has been
found to make a good pulp for paper,
but even this does not exist in sufficient
quantities to make paper.

The military government as is well

badly needed, something about sani-
tary methods, and to-day the learners
have in their capital, Havana, per-
haps the cleanest city in. the world.
The sanitary service was reorganiZed

SO wisely planned has been carried out

find not only Havana, but the cities
everywhere on the island, clean and
well governed; the people tranquil and
Industrious; affairs, national, munici-
pal and provincial well administered.
Education, once as neglected in Cuba
as sanitation, now receives special at
ton. President Palma has been ably
seconded by congress in this matter.
and the department of education is
successfully carrying on the reforms
started by the government of inter-
vention.
The rural guard, the regular army of
Cuba, has been increased. and it now
has an organization similar to that of
modern armies; but the idea of the
army is the preservation of peace and
order rather than step toward mill
tarianism. An extended diplomatic
and consular service has been organ
lied, legations established in the chief
foreign capitals, and consulates opened
in many shipping centers in the
United States and Europe.
The three strong political factions
in Cuba are the nationalists, demo-
Gratis and republicans, the former the
most radical party. During this years
elections in Cuba. there have been cafe
controversies over political differences,
but the country at large has never
been disrupted. In January, 1904, the

through lands of the richest descrip-

The trouble is she said, that few

'Assuredly," assented the woman
They should be trained for their du-

But they should be trained before. A
man should be properly fitted to as

is permitted to assume them. 1t isn't
fair to expect his wife to train him"
Some wives seem to like it," sug-
gested the girl.
But it would be far better to have
them properly trained beforehand" in

''Still she comes nearer to that than to

in preliminary training throughout, es-
pecially for motherhood. 1t would make
lots less trouble in the world if mothers
were trained to be mothers before they

1t took the girl little time to grasp
this. Then her face lighted up.
