RUSSIA AND ENGLAND
MAY EFFECT A DICKER
Suggestion Is That Great Britain Be UnOpposed in Her
Designs Upon Tibet, While Russia Is Allowed to
Tighten Her Hold Upon ManChura-Dspositon To.
ward an AmicabIe Arrangement Gaining Ground.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.-The
victory of the British expedition to
Tibet will not attract the attention
which it would have before the out
break of the war with Japan, when
Russian interest in the results Of the
expedition was very keen. The real
purposes of the expedition were then
viewed with the gravest suspicion, it
being feared that a definite establish
ment of British influence over the
grand llama of Lhasa, which was re-
garded as Great Britain's object, would
be a severe blow to Russian prestige
both in Tibet and in China.
The situation is now changed, be-
cause Russia's hands are at present
too full to leave her free to act, even
If so disposed, and, secondly-perhaps
of seven more importance-because
there are now increasing demonstra-
tions that better relations between
Russia and Great Britain are in sight,
or, at least, there is an increasing de-
sire for such relations by both cOun-
tries.
Several leading newspapers here have
turned a complete somersault, notably
the Novo Vremya. Only this morning
the Novosti calmly discussed Great
Britain's long-standing desire to OBJ
tain protectorate over Tibet as being
in a fair way to succeed, declaring
that neither Russia nor China would
object, and a dispatch from the Paris
correspondent of the Novo Vremya said
that an entente between Russia and
Great Britain would be effected on the
basis of a Russian free hand in Man
churia and a British free hand in
Tibet.
In best informed circles, however, a
definite rapprOchement is regarded as
premature at present, and indeed i'm
possible while Great Britain's ally is
at war with Russia. Nevertheless, in
formation at hand indicates that King
Edward is looking forward to and
clearing the way for an entente which
will settle the differences between the

CROP CONDITIONS
ARE NOT CHEERFUL
Government Report Is Fully as
BuIIish as Had Been Ex.
pected.

WASHINGTON D. C., April L.
The weather bureaus summary of crop
conditionsAfor March Is as follows:
From the Upper Mississippi valley
to the Middle Atlantic coast the season
is generally reported backward, al
though the average temperature for
the month in these districts was gem
orally in excess of the normal. In the
Southern states the month has been
favorable for farming operations. The
northern portion of the Central Gulf
states, however, the central valleys and
the greater part of the lake region
suffered from excessive rains and Tex
and and the Southern plateau region
from droughts. From Northern Michi-
gan west to the Rocky mountains the
ground is still frozen deeply and no
farm work has been done.
On the Pacific coast the month has
been cold and wet, wholly preventing
farm work in Oregon and Washington.
The highest water known in many
years, flooding thousands of acres of
valuable grain lands, occurred in North
ern California.
Over the western portion Of the
principal winter wheat area the reports
indicate an improvement in the con-
ditiOn of winter wheat and in some
of the more easterIy sections a slight
improvement is also indicated. AS at
the close of the previous week, the
least favorable reports were received
from the central and eastern districts.
In Indiana the crop has been badly
washed on high lands and much in
51
whether or not thus damaged it is
healthy and growing.
In portions of the wheat area of
Nebraska and Kansas the crop has
suffered from drought Good progress
has been made with oat seeding in the
Southern states with the exception of
Western Texas, where it has been too
dry and the general outlook for this
crop Is promising.
Seeding is in progress so far north
as Southern Missouri and Kansas, but
no seeding has been done farther north.
In the Gulf states much corn has
been planted and good stands are re-
ported. Some planting has been done
in the southern portions of Kansas and
Missouri. Preparations for corn plant
ing in the Central Mississippi and Ohio
valleys and Middle Atlantic states has
progressed slowly.
In the central and western portions
OF the cotton belt cotton planting was
progressing rapidly at the close of the
month and some plsrting has been
done in all the eastern districts. In
Southern Texas about half the crop
has been planted and the early planted
is coming up nicely.
In the central valleys, lower lake re-
gfon and New England peaches are
reported to have been injured, but
have thus far escaped injury in the
Middle and South Atlantic states.

PINE is NEARLY
READY FOR SALE
Chief Examiner Warren Fin
isheS Work on 1,6O0.-
900 Acres.

DULUTH, Mimi, April lone mil
lion four hundred thousand acres of
land have been added to the acreage
subject to the homestead laws in Min
nesota. This represents the work that
has just been completed by e. L. War
rem, chief government examiner, who
has been acting under the Morris law
His crew of men carefully went over
and reported on each separate forty
of 1,633,9SS acres of land, including
2S2,760 acres held as forest reserve.
The timber on these lands amounts
to several hundred million feet. AS
soon as the necessary arrangements
can be perfected and the six months
advertisement given the pine will be
disposed of to the highest bidder. The
cost Of the estimating, which was
borne by the Indians, was $69,3S6.

two countries once war has been clear
ed from the political horizon.
One of the best informed diplomats
predicts that the basis of settlement
will include giving Russia, after peace
is restored, what she wants in Man
churia, the opening or naturalization
of the Dardanelles and an outlet on
the Persian gulf in return for an abso-
lutte guarantee of Great Britain's In
dian frontier and her predominant in
f1uence in Tibet.
LONDON, April 2.-The India office
has issued long dispatches sent by
Col Younghusband, commanding the
British mission to Tibet, through Lord
CurzOn, the viceroy of India, which
confirm the story of the engagement
between the British and Tibetans near
Guru yesterday. The dispatches add
that it was Lhasa general who fired
the first shot, thereby melting the
Tibetans to attack, and show that but
for the fact that the Tibetans were so
hemmed in that they could not use
their weapons the British loss might
have been much more serious.
So little was the onset expected
that the British officers were eating
sandwiches and adjusting cameras.
Mr.. Gambler, the correspondent Of the
Daily Mail, was sitting unarmed, writ
ing. He had a narrow escape from
death, receiving twelve wounds. Col.
YOunghusband and his staff were not
far distant and also were wholly un-
armed, and 1T is evident that but for
the personal courage and presence of
mind Of Col. Macdonald and his Off
GERS a terrible disaster might have oc-
CURED.
The Tibetans displayed dogged fear
lessness, apparently being misled by
the smallness of the British force, and
being ignorant of the effect of modern
firearms. The whole affair occupied
only ten minutes, and even in the re-
treat the Tibetans disdained to scatter
and run and marched soIemnly in lines
under hail of fire.

ROB AN EXPRESS CAR
Three Masked Men Shoot the
Messenger Dead.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 1.-Three
masked men held up the Oregon Express,
south bound, on the Southern Pacific
railroad at Copley, near Keswick, killed
w. J. O'Neill, the express messenger, and
carried off the contents of the express
box. The train stopped at Copley, a small
station, for water. AS the train came to
standstill three men jumped on and cut
the train in two, taking the engine and
express car down the track a short dis
tance. They stopped the engine and de-
manded that Messenger O'Neill open the
express car. He refused, whereupon they
shot O'Neill and blew up the car with
dynamite. The bandits then robbed one
of the safes Of its contents. Then they
cut the car loose, and, getting on the en-
g1ne, compelled Engineer JoeSink to go
ahead. When near Keswick the men
dropped off the engine and disappeared in
the night.
young man named Colford, helper of
Messenger ONeiil, tried to shoot the rob-
bers, but the cartridge of his shotgun
failed to explode. Colford started to put
another shell into the gun, but the rob
bers covered him with their rifles and
commanded him to lay down his gun or
be killed. Engineer Bissell also urged
COlford not to make a fight, arguing that
If he did they might all be killed Frank
Rockwell, express guard who was dead
heading" through on the car that was at
tackled, also attempted to shoot the
masked men after they had killed O'Neill
Rockwell says the money Is still in the
big safe, which remains unopened.
There were two safes in the car, g.
heavy through safe and a small local safe
The local safe was blown to atoms and
the top Of the through safe was blown off
Tiny pieces of greenbacks and twisted
coins covered the floor. 1t is not thought
the robbers secured a great amount Of
money.
SACRAMENTO, Cal. April Con
ductor de Pangher, of the Oregon express
said today:
When the robbers reached the engines
they ordered all of the men on the loco
motive to get down on the ground and
line up, and the men did So The robbers
marched back to the baggage car and
made all Of US get in, with the exception
OF two engineers, whom they took back
toward the express car. They ordered
Engineer Bissell to knock on the door of
the express car, and as he did so one
of the men said: open the car" Mes
senger O'Neill, evidently thinking that
opened the door to look out and was shot
dead: The fact that the robbers obtained
nothing for their work was because they
put too much of the explosive on the
safe When the dynamite went off If
tore away the top and sides of the car
and In consequence the money in the
ed1e was scattered Tar ana wide.
Arthur Gronderas. of Santa Barbara,
was riding in the day coach just behind
the express car. He said:
was sitting in my chair reading when
suddenly / heard shots fired and then a
terrific explosion took place. The door of
our car was shattered and windowglass
fell thick around us. piece of steel
weighing about four pounds buried itself
in my seat a few inches from my head
The car was filed with flying paper and
chunks of melted and twisted money fell
in all directions

JOURNALISTIC
 AMENITIES
Veteran Ketchikan Editor Ad. dresses Himself to a
 Juneau Brother.

It is just such rot as this, from the Juneau Miner, that is calculated to naked an Alaskan of average intelli- gence wonder for what inscrutable req son the Almighty permits men of small brains and doubtful political honesty to play at journalism:
 "The territorial people are lining up for the great fight between those in Alaska who ask for unconditional ter ritorial government and those who ask for municipal governments with full power to control all local atfairs. These are the two parties in Alaska today, and there'll be no other for the next few years to come. Like the Roose- welt Republican Club or . Bryan Demo- cratic Club, they'll all die @ bornin'.' But the territorialists have some very shrewd old leaders at tho helm. When they got heir-arrangemsnts made for the Skagway Alaskan, Juneau Dispatch and Ketchika Journal to take up the fight. they observed that it was Dem- ocratic trio-Troy, Swineford and Rus sel, so 1t was decided that Russell should turn Q summersault and conduct the Republican organ at Juneau until

IL must then follow that if the poles receive six months'of sunshine, also the equator, any point situated between these limits must receive the same amount. It brings out very strongly the fact that ''everythlng in nature tends toward equality.'
