This is the way the Ceutralia
Courier tells it on Mexico: w. l..
Reed, postoflice inspector, who has
arrested aud handled a great many
criminals during his ten years SER
vice, met his match at Mexico the
other Gay. 1t appears that the peo-
pie in that town who rent boxes at
the Mexico pOstoflice are too busy
to keep their boxes locked. For
some months complaints have
passed into the post Office depart
ment regarding the theft of
valuable mail from the boxes. Mr..
Reed went after the bold, bad
highway robber, who proved to be
a ten year old boy, and small
boy for his age, at that. The little
fellow was admOnished to do bet
ter in the future and turned loose,
Quite lot of valuable mgil was
taken from the boy and (delivered
back to the proper owl ers. The
government, however, does not
agree to protect mail in boxes
when renters do hot Keep THEN
boxes locked. 1t is planned by
the post Office official that much
mail alleged to have 1 ZEN lost is
stolen from the boxes left unlocked
By the patrons Of the flee.

FRANCE AND JAPAN
NOT TO CLASH OVER
RAILROAD PROJECT

TOXIC, March ct is denied here
that the French Government in behalf
Of the holders of the French conces-
sions has made any objection to Japan
completing the Seoul Wiju railroad.
PARIS, March 6.-It is not expected
that Japan's intention to build the
Seoul Wiju railroad Will cause any Sc
rious clash with the owners Of the
early French concessions. The original
concession was granted to a French
company in 1896. Later the concession
was modified. SO that the road WAS to
be built by French engineers and with
French material. A considerable por-
ton Of the line has already been laid
under French auspices. and it is un-
derstOod that Foreign Minister Delcasse
has sought to protect French interests
along the railroad, the same as he pro-
tected the rights of the Panama Canal
Company during the Panama uprising.
But. while giving all due protection to
French interests, the officials say this
concession is net one which is likely to
give rise to serious complications.

RUSSIA REJECTS
OFFER OF LOAN BY
GERMAN BANKERS

LONDON. March 6.-The Stock Ex-
change experienced great relief be-
cause the settlements in Paris and Ber-
lin passed without serious difficulty
but transactions during the past week
were almost non-existent, waiting for
the next move in the Far East, the
American market being idle equally
with the others. The movements in
prices in all sections were therefore un-
important. though rather more hope
full feeling prevailed.
1t is reported that German bankers
offered a loan to Russia on favorable
terms, but the offer was not accepted.
It is supposed that Russia attaches i'm
portance to impressing the world with
the extent of her resources, and win
defer borrowing from other countries
for the longest possible period.

States Naval Academy. Since his grad
uation he has been secretary of the

The foreign engineers, being un-
able to raise the Retvizan. have
quit Port Arthur, together with
the other Anglo -Saxons there.
That considerable damage within
the fortihcations has been caused
by the Japanese fire from Pigeon
Bay is corroborated, and the de-
fenses on that side are being
strengthened with barbed wire
entanglements and additional ar
tillery.
Street traffic in Port Arthur.
the refugees say, is largely con-
fined to the ammunition carts.
All of the forts have been pro-

TOXIC, March Affairs have been
very quiet here after the excitement
consequent on the opening victories Of
the war. The Japanese do not give
way to emotion in the same manner as
Europeans when engaged in war. The
people are going about their business at
Toxic as if nothing in particular was
afoot- There is little news from Korea
or Port Arthur. The newspapers have
ceased to issue special editions. The
present situation. however, is only the
, lull before the storm.
Preparations are going rapidly for
ward for the commencement of land
operations. 1 expect important events
will be heard of in the course of a few
days.
The Japanese Government is not anx-
ious to begin its land campaign prema-
turely. and is organizing its forces with
marvellous foresight and completeness
for every possible contingency. The
opening Of hostilities ashore is likely to
give Russia as great surprise as did
the naval actions. 1t is impossible. of
course, to give details. but events VIII
soon show the capacity of the men
who are directing japanese affairs and
the quality of the troops at their dis
posal.
The Foreign Office here has issued
passes to war correspondents, but the
correspondents are not yet permitted
to leave Toxic for Korea. as events are
not yet sufficiently developed
According to reports received here
the Russians are moving large masses
Of troops toward the Chinese frontier.
The population is in state of unrest
and is leaving the large towns. Russian
troops have occupied DenshOdu. Che
nampho and Kohochi. but they are said
TO be evacuating Keuchau.
1t is reported that 10000 Russian
troops are south of the Yalu. No serf-
Gus encounters, however, are expected

KING WANTS PEACE.

PARIS, March 7. = The Ma
tins London correspondent
sends to his paper the report of
a conversation had last evening
with a parsonage intimate with
King Edward, who had Just lett
the palace. This parsonage said
the King spoke on the subject OF
the war in the Far East and ne
repeated his Majesty's words, as
follows:
Il am much distressed at the
Russo Japanese war, which |
consider most deplorable event.
On the other hand, [ consider
that our good understanding
with France has never been more
Useful than it is at present and
believe that it is likely to become
more and more useful, not only
in the interest of France and
Great Britain, but in the higher
interest of general peace. Should
complications arise despite all ef-
forts to prevent them the union
between France and England
will render the greatest service.
That union must be closely MAIN
tanned for the good of all, what
ever may happen. | hope the
press of all countries, the Eng
lish press included, will strive to
attenuate difficulties rather than
to aggravate them"
