Governor Toole has decided not to
declare forfeited the contract of CHM

intendent Of public instruction pre-

that there has been an apparent VIC

attempt to declare forfeiture would
be unavailing. His excellency's de-
cision, however, is not final. he hav-
ing concluded for prudential reasons

RUSSIA GIVES ASSENT.
Accepts American and English Views
Concerning contraband.


Concerning contraband.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 18.-1t becomes
more and more probable that Russia
will meet the views of the United
States and Great Britain regarding
foodstuffs as contraband Of war, and
agreeing that foodstuffs bound to
belligerent's unblockaded port, and
consigned to private firms or individ-
uals, when the ships papers leave no
room for suspicion, be not regarded
as contraband. The subject is now un-
der consideration.
The emperor's government is desir-
Gus of the adjustment of the ques-
tion of the Arabia's cargo, but it is
pointed out that the decision of the
prize court makes it difficult to adjust
it automatically, and it is supggested
that the case should be appealed to
the admiralty court here.

To those who fondly cling to the
memory of the old-time circus, with
it's bareback riding, it's spangles and

welcome change from the modern non

claim to being circuses lies in the fact
that they exhibit under canvas and

that everything advertised is shown.
