The greater part of the seven and one
quarter millions which the Philippine gov
ernment has undertaken to pay for the
friars' land win after all remain In the
archipelago. to the great benefit Of the
Filipinos This outcome of stubborn
struggle between the Vatican and the re-
4ligious orders is now disclosed by the an
nouncem ent at the War Department that
the money is TO be paid over to the
Church" authorities, to be applied for the
benefit of the church in the Philippines.
AS fer the friars themselves. comparatively
few remain in the Philippines, most of
them being in Manila, and there is no
probability of recurrence of the old hos
tility between the Filipinos and the orders,
according to the reports of the officials
just returned from the Philippines.

OF A GLOOMY TENDENCY.
The Advices Received Regarding the
Eastern Situation.

The State Department has received ad-
vices from various points touching the
Russo-Japanese situation, all Of decidedly
gloomy tendency. One of the most sign-h-
cant in the minds of officials, confirms the
press dispatch from Tokyo, respecting the
notification to Japanese at Vladivostock to
prepare to leave the town, measure
which is rarely resorted to, except in case
war Is regarded as an absolute certainty
The advice on this point does not indicate
that any Americans have been afrected by
the notice, although 1t is understood that
the purpose of the Russ ans is to prevent
any spying in Vladivostock which is to be
made the principal base or navaI operations
in the event of war.
Confirmation also comes to the depart
ment of the reported disappearance Of the
Russian feet from Port Arthur. The ad-
vice states that the destination OF the feet
is unknown. but the officials here, taking
the two messages together, surmise that
the feet has gone to Vladivostock. II so
the movement would puzzle the strategists
here inasmuch as Port Arthur was believed
to be very much more secure against naval
attack than Vladivostock. and the infer
ence is that the Russians are afraid of a
land attack at the former port, which
would not be possible in the case Of vladi-
vostock.
Another report is to the effect that six
regiments of Russian troops have departed
from Niuchwang for Korea, but this La not
confirmed.
The Japanese In Manchuria,
A statement is current In diplomatic cir
cles here to the effect that in anticipation
OF the outbreak of hostilities the Japanese
government has for months past been MAIN
tanning most perfectly equipped secret
service system throughout Manchuria, and
that Japanese spies are now in position to
completely sever the Russians In Manchuria
from their base in case of war by destroy
ing every culvert and bridge on the Man.

MRS. MAVERICKS ADMISSION.
May Be Accomplished by Her Taking
Out Passport.

In view of the suggestion that has been
made in the press to the effect that Mrs.
Maybrick, even IL released from prison.
will not be permitted to land in the United
States on the ground that she has been a
convict. 1t is learned that that issue will
probably be avoided by the simple device OF
taking out q passport from the United
States embassy in London. While the doc
trine Ii not absolutely settled. the State
Department practice has been to admit the
right OF an American woman who has mar
ried an alien to regain her citizenship In
America upon the death OF her husband by
mere assertion Of her desire so to do. SO
Mrs. Maybrick, being released, may come
into the United States as an American
citizen. and as such would not subject to

HORTICULTURAL BRIEFS.

Every farmer should in a sense be a
fruit grower. If he hasn't the ambi-
,ion to grow fruit to ship to market he
should have the large and small fruits
in plenty for home use.
Horticultural meetings should be
held at a time when there is oppor-
tunity to make good displays of fruits.
