English Treaty in Thibet
AWakens Strong
Opposition.
RUSSIA NOT PLEASED
Great Britain SupFlaLts China
in Suzerainty Over
Country.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 21.-The Rus
sian government is greatly wrought up
over the conquest of Thibet by Great
Britain, the fun significance of which
has dawned on the cars ministers
since the text of treaty arrived. This
document virtually removes the Chi
nese suzerainty over Thibet and vests
it in Great Britain.
Russia claims that Great Britain
gave her assurances that no such pro
gram would be carried out. She will
lodge a protest with the British for
eign Office and also with the Chinese
government, where the treaty goes for
ratification
The Russ, which is now considered
10 especially reflect the views of the
foreign Office. bitterly complains and
in conclusion says significantly: The
proclamation OF the British protector
ate must be regarded as an accomplish
ed fact. but whether it will be real and
lasting must depend upon future events
in central Asia"
London is Not Worried.
London, Sept. 2I.-No notification by
Russia of her refusal to recognize the
validity of the AngIo-ThibCtan treaty

gives Great Britain practical suzerain-
ty over the affairs of the Chinese PROV
ince, and TO the provision that the
British occupation of the Chumbi val
ley shall continue i'll case the indem-
nifty is not paid.
The foreign office here evidently
does not apprehcnd an objection from
any other power and rCiterates that
the assurances given the United States
that there will be no permanent occu-
patton of any portion of Thibctan ter
ritoTy will be observed.

SCHOOL NOTES.

We think the fall term of our
school will open, Monday, Sept.
10, 1904, nine O'Clock.
We will have a forenoon SEES
sion only. That is, for those
who are properly classified.
The remainder of the day will
be spent in examining and classi-
flying pupils who did not finish
the years work.
Every pupil should bring his
report of last years work from
wherever he attended school.
This Will be a help in classitica-
ton.
Pupils should not be too anx
ious about being promoted
Thorough work should be aimed
a., and the promotions will take
care of themselves. Many pu-
pills fail to accomplish the work
they would, were it not for the
fact, that they are in classes too
far advanced for them. Too
often we are more anxious bout
going over a book than we are
about mastering it. "Not how
much, but how well,' should be
our motto.
