WITH RESERVATIONS
Russia Finally Ac7uiesces in Secretar:
Hays Proposition Looking to the
integrity Of China.

A St. Petersburg dispatch says:
Russia's reply to Secretary Hays note
On China probably will be made il 4
few days. It will acQuiesce in the
principle, but with certain reserva-
tions, regarding Chinese adninistra-
tive control over the region in Man
churia leased to Russia, or covered by
the Chinese reservation in order to
safeguard existing Russian interests.
When the note was first dispatched
to the powers the authorities in st.
Petersburg were undeniably disposed
to view it with suspicion, and there
fore its reception by the other ca3i-
nets was awaited with keen interest.
The Russian authorities have obtained
the views of the European chancellors
and have seen the friendly reception
given to the note even By Russia's
ally, the fear that it might contain a
hidden pirfall for Russia began to dis
appear. The Russian authorities have
new been acquainted with the replies
OF the remaining powers, including
that Of Japan, and it has practically
been decided to give adherence in
principle.
Russia explained that she was as
anxious as the other powers to prevent
disorders In China and to preserve
its integrity, but that owing to Ruus-
sia's interests in Manchuria difficulties
are presented China must be protect
ed and Russia will make reservation
on this point. She does not desire her
position in this respect to be misun'
derstood hereafter and for this reason
her words will be explicit and not
equirocal.
Russia has not yet given permission
for any military attaches 10 join the
Russian army in the field. Requests
have been received from all the pow
ers, including the United States, an
it is understood that Viceroy AlexieH
to whom the question was referred
would prefer that foreign attaches
should not join in the Russian field
operations until March, explaining that
owing to the unexpected suddenness Of
the outbreak OF hostilities, it is difficult
to make arrangements for their com
Portable accommodation, especially
during the severe weather, until thai
time.

PORT ARTHUR MENACED,
Naval Officers Believe Japan is Prepar.
ing to Make Determined Attempt
to Take Russian Stronghold. -


Dispatches from the Far East Wed.
nesday indicated that Japan is prepar'
ing to make determined attempt to
capture Port Arthur, the stronghold OF
the Russians. ..... -.,
Toxic advlces state that numerous
transports, heavily laden with troops
and munitions, are on the sea, and it
Is believed that these transports will
land at places where the Japanese ar
my can cooperate with the navy in
an attempt to reduce-rert Arthur.
Toxic advices report tina: Japanese
troops are at Wiju. on the Yalu river.
Wiju is not a great distance from
Port Arthur.
. British military experts believe
that the Japanese plan Of campaign
contemplates the immediate invest
ment and capture Of Port Arthur. On
this theory they explain the continued
attacks which the Japanese feet IS
making on the port. -',,'.i -
The capture of Port Arthur would
enormously increase the prestige OF
the Japanese and give them fortified
base from which they could operate
effectively against the Russian line Of
communication in Manchuria.

CAR URGES PATIENCE.
Russian Proclamation Declares that in
Time Japan Will be Thoroughly
Chastiscd for "Treachcry."

An Official proclamation explaining
the unprepsrcdness OF Russia for war
and the necessity fer the exercise oi
patience b: her people has been Is
sued at ST. Petersburg. Il is as TO-:
lows:
Eight days have elapsed since all
Russia was shaken with profound IA
dignation against an enemy who sud
denly broke of negotiations and BY
treacherous attack tried to obtain
easy success in war long desired
The Russian nation with natural i'm
patience, desires prompt vengeance
and awaits feverlshly news from the
Far East.
"The unity and strength of the Rus
sian people leave no room for doubt
that Japan will receive the chastise'
ment she deserves for her treachery
and provocation to war at time when
our beloved sovereign desired to main
tain peace among the nations. The
conditions under which hostilities are
being carried on compel US to await
with patience news Of the success oi
our troops which cannot occur before
decisive actions are fought by the Rus
sian army.
''The distance of the territory and
the desire Of the emperor TO maintain
peace were the causes of the impos'
sibility Of more complete and effective
preparations for war. Much time is
now necessary in order to strike at
Japan, but it is due the dignity and
might of Russia, while sparing as much
as, possible the shedding Of blood OF
her children, to inflict just chastise'
ment upon the nation which has pro-
voked the struggle. Russia must await
the event in patience, being sure that
our army will avenge an hundredfold
that provocation.
Operations on land must: not be ex'
pected for some time yet, and We can.
not obtain early news from the scene
of war. The. useless shedding OF
blood is unworthy the greatness and
power Of Russia.
'tOur country displays such unity
and desire for selfsacrifce on behalf
Of the national cause that all true
news from the scene Of hostilities will
be Immediately due to the entire ma

4 PRAIsEwoRrHY PLAN.

New Haven is so prosperous and Iphilanthropic that many helpful deeds are done here. And now one that has been too long omitted is about to be
 done. The movement to establish and carry on visiting or district nursing here has reached a stage where it asks
 for the interest of the public and will soon ask for some of the money that is Ialways ready for use in any genuine good work. There can be no doubt of
 the value of the district nursing system. | It has been we'll tested in other places, and has been found most helpful and cheering. People who are too poor to hire a trained nurse when they need one, and those who are ignorant as well
 as poor often suffer in way that can
 be and is obviated by the district nurs- ling system This system doesn't pau lperize" people. It simply puts within | their reach at the right time help that ithey pressingly need and perhaps can pay something for when they can't pay for the full and continuous services of nurse The district nurses go their rounds daily, giving their patients help and instruction, and in that way not only do immediate good but make the future more hopeful. They are espec- Iially valuable in preventing the spread of contagious diseases among those who do not know the danger, and it is be- llieved that if the system could be ade- quately applied the ravages of tuber- lculosis would be greatly diminished,
 for it is among the people who can be !reached by district nursing that knowl- ledge of the danger of carelessness in I"consumption' is especially needed.
 'eThe injury of one is the concern of l all.' A prosperous and philanthropic Icommunity helps itself when 1t helps it's | lweak and needy members. District nursing tends towards better health and better living. There should be much more of it here than there is likely to
 be soon, but the quicker start is made the better.

sEYEs VARS GOING.

Universal peace doesn't yet show any signs of being about to brood over the world. Just now there are no less than seven wars going on. the Russo-Japan- ese being the biggest The Dutch are still, after thirty years of constant con- fiet with the Atchinese in Sumatra. at war with the liberty-loving natives of that island. In April last the Dutch in one action killed 541 of them. and dur ling the present month 1eO Atchinese were killed at the capture of Tjantoe. one of their strongholds. The Germans are at war with the Hereros in their province of Southwest Africa, and are losing hundreds of lives from battle and sickness while subduing the rebel lious natives. Disaster followed disas- ter, and large endorsements are be- ing sent from the Fatherland to put down the native neighbors of the Boers The recent loss of officers and men in Mindanao at the hands of the Moros shows that the war in the Philippines, begun in 1898, is not yet concluded. England's expedition to Tibet is called a mission" but it has already had three or four pretty stiff fights. and a state of war undoubtedly exists between Edward VII. and the Dalai Lama. A very long and expensive war with the Mad Mullah of Somaliland is only now being brought to a conclusion. The last English papers tell of the capture of Illig by the crew of warship after a bloody assault and some loss of life. In Nigeria also there is a little war' in progress. Some British troops have been set upon by the ex-rulers of that coun- try, and a punitive expedition is in or der.
 Seven is said to be the perfect num- Der, but seven wars don't indicate per- lection.
