Next Seasons Milling.

Preparations for next seasons milling
and marketing are now under discus
sion, and il is possible that the millers

and practical plan that will work out TO
the advantage Of the industry generally.

the Northern and Eastern rice centers
and distributing points to dispose Of the
crop direct to the wholesaler seems to
be working 10 the satisfaction of the
mills that have adopted it. and may be-
come generally adopted another year if
some more practical plan Is not decided

Nederland and Markham, Tex. are rap
idly being completed. The plant of the
Gulf Milling Company. at Welsh, La.

President Bat found time to read his
book and tell of his call last Tuesday
on the author in the White house.
"Of course called at the White house,
said Bat. why shouldn't L? Didn't I
meet the president in Denver? Didn't all
my friends join his regiment in Cuba? He
is one of our own kind. 1 was in the

Now, as 1 was saying when we got the

You can say for Bat and the great West:
A man that can shoot like him and write

Now, listen to this, you guys who think

stock, and
Fourth-She declined to meet ia
pans wishes with regard to a neutral

The news of the breaking off Of
diplomatic relations between Russia
and Japan was spread far and wide
throughout the capital by extra bull
letins of the Novoe Vremya and other
papers. Much excitement was created
and resulted in patriotic demonstra-
lions.

JAPAN SURPRISED RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. Al
though the fear was general here yes
terday that the presentation Of the
Russian note to Japan might be fol-
lowed by an act on the part OF the
Japanese government which would
plunge the two countries into war, the
startling action of Japan in severing
diplomatic relations with Russia be-
fore the actual delivery of the Russian
note came like a bolt from a clear sky
It was believed that the receipt of the
note might have unmasked an ulti-
matum, but that Japan should sever
diplomatic relations a step little short
of a declaration OF war, was almost
like blow in the face under the pres
ent circumstances and it is resented
here accordingly. The authorities be-
1ieve this action places Japan distinct
~ in the wrong light before the world
and, moreover. after such a piece of
impudence," as it is denominated here,
makes easy an appeal to the patriotism
of the Russian people.
The news at any moment that Japan
had drawn the sword and that the first
clash had occurred would not be sur
prising.
The events leading to Japans alb
rupt action have marched with great
rapidity. The Russian note was al
ready in the hands of Baron de Rosen,
the Russian minister at Toxic, for de-
livery to Baron Komura, the Japanese
foreign minister when at 4 yesterday
afternoon, M. Kurino, the Japanese
minister here, presented himself to the
foreign office and informed Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff that his govern
ment, in view of the delays in con-
nection with the Russian answer and
the futility hitherto of the negotiations.
considered it useless to continue dip
lomatic relations and would take such
steps as it deemed proper for the pro-
lection of Japan's interests. In obedi-
ence to instructions. therefore, he ask
ed for his passport
Exactly what else passed at this
interview is not known, except that
Count LamsdorH expressed surprise
ana regret at this haSty resolve of the
mikado's government. M. Kurino re-
celved his passports, and, after con-
sulting with Sir S. c. Scott, the Brit
1sh ambassador here, he returned to
his legation, where the preparations
Tor his departure had already COM
menced.
Another version of the situation at
the time NJ. Kurino notified Count
Lamsdorff of the course his govern
ment had elected to pursue is that the
russian reply was not in the possess
sion of Baron de Rosen, but in the
telegraph office here awaiting trans
mission, and that it was withdrawn
before being dispatched.
Russia Acts Promptly.
Upon the disclosure of Japan's M .
Sitlon the Russian authorities met the
situation with promptness. Instruc-
uons recalling Baron de Rosen were
forthwith telegraphed and he was di-

Rstonish the world when they are dis
closed. Japan did not even ask Russia
to promise to move a single soldier

gle right in Manchuria.

Turner's hasty examination. There
was evidence of hard struggle IN
the room with several clots of blood
on the floor, stove, and ceiling, and
his head was badly pounded up with
some ugly looking wounds. The
body was taken to the town hall, and
an examination was held by the
medical authorities. DR.. Turner said
he must have been dead for several
hours. 1t is thought that the deed
must have been committed on Satur-
day night. His watch hung out of
his pocket, the crystal was broken
and the watch stopped at twenty
minutes past twelve. Mr.. Mclean
was "a years old, single man and
lived alone. Willard Ainsworth,
Hollis Heath and Fred Spencer have
been arrested on complaints charging
them with the murder. The evidence
against Spencer is not very strong,
and he is held principally on
suspicion, as he had lawsuit against
Mclean, and at first it was believed
this had some connection with the
murder. Ainsworth and Heath were,
