whole country 1t is this lat
Ter and wider occupation, per-
mtted at the time as a supposed
measure of safeguarding foreigners in
emma during the troubles, that Rus
STA has promised again and again to
end' but has not ended. AS Japan
conquered all that region once and
was "shooed" out of it by the allied
Powers, this naturally rouse6 her ire
especially, though as a simple matter
or business the United Stltes and
other nations have sought assurances
from Russia that she would retire from
an occupation which is no longer war
ranted.
Manchuria's possibilities may be
compared roughly to those of our
North Atlantic states. It's splendid

ands of Chinese laborers northward.
and many of these remain. The noun
tains are full of mineral wealth. the
f1elds are broad and fertile, the har-
Dor excellent and commanding from
the military point of view. Port Ar
thur commands Picking and the most
populous province of China.
The people of China proper and of
Manchuria have to a considerable ex-
tent snapped places. Hundreds of
thousands of Manchus have gone south
" OCCOlilC Tie warriors ana the court
dignitaries and the provincial govern
ors of China. Most of the fine, tall
handsome men whom in this country
we have seen as representatives of the
Chinese Empire have been of original
Manchu stock. Meanwhile the active
little Chinese of the more usual
washee-waShee type have swarmed
over Manchuria, doing most of its
smaller retail trade, just as the larg-
er trade and commerce have been in
Japanese hands, despite the Russian
occupation. The fear that this outlet
of Japanese trade would be closed by
the Russians has added to the heat of
Japan's resentment at being outwitted
by Russia.
OF late Russia has had, it's wanting
eye upon Corea for a curious reason.
The port of Masampho, at the ex-
treme southern tip of Corea, is ice
free. Vladivostok, the original term
mus of the Siberian Railroad, is closed
by ice for months every winter. When
they got Port Arthur the Russians at
once abandoned work at Vladivostok,
diverted the stream of emigration to
Port Arthur and near the latter place
planned the great new city of Dalny.
Now it appears that Port Arthur it
self is not wholly ice-free. Masampho
is.
For hundCeds of years the huge
Northern Bear has been struggling to
escape from the ice and snow that
rim his birthplace. This is the secret
of his activity in the Far East.

STANDARD COUPLINGS
SHOULD BE ADOPTED.
Chief Mcguire Explains Troubles
Experienced in baltimore.

Chief Mcguire Explains Troubles
Experienced I'm Baltimore.
As a result of the difficulty expert
enced in putting the Washington en-
gines into service at the fire in Bal
timore last week the matter of a
standard hose coupling is again being
discussed. The Washington steamers,
on arrival, could not be put into serv-
ice for some time, owing to the diff
Guilty of coupling them to the plugs.
An emergency coupling was finally de-
vlsed and the steamers were thus util-
lied. The same trouble, however oc-
Cured in the case of some of the 9TH
er outside apparatus, and thus Balti-
more did not receive the maximum
benefit of the assistance so promptly
and heartily rendered by it's neighbors.
THE adoption of a national standard
coupling by the Fire Chiefs Associa-
ton is matter that has already had
the serious consideration of that body"
said Fire Chief Mcguire, in discussing
the subject, but like many other
things of like Importance, many cities
have declined to be advised, because of
the expense attending the change. In
1891 at the Springfield, Mass, meet
ing the Fire Chiefs Association spend
its morning session in the discussion
of a national standard coupling and
the attention of the public was called
to the possibility of just such condi-
tons as were recently encountered in
Baltimore.
THE association adopted resolutions
recommending that a national stand
ard coupling (71a threads to the inch)
be adopted, but so far as l can learn
few if any of the old cities acted upon
these recommendation. The expense
of changing every hydrant, every en-
CINE and every length of hose is of no
small consideration and because of
this fact 1 presume, either Washington
or Baltimore still have couplings of
widely different scales.
THE couplings used in this depart
ment are not of the recommended
standard, being eight threads to the
inch, but we are fortunate in having
them eight threads because of the fact
that coupling seven and half
threads to the inch can be readily con-
nected to our hose, but should we have
occasion to connect to seven and
half thread hose it cannot be done
without a reducer.
There can be no question as to the
necessity of a standard coupling, but
it is a hard thing to convince the au-
thorities of it's Importance, and 1t
would not warrant any city to go to
the expense of making such change,
unless the standard was adopted by
every other city"

MANCHURIA A SPLENDID
PRIZE OF COMBAT
A Vast, Fertile Country With Mineral Wealth, a
Fair Climate and Plenty of Facilities
for Communication

Nanchuria, the scene of the greater
nattles in the Eastern war as at pres
ont planned, is. says the New York
World. a mountainous province of the
chinese empire as large as all our New
England and Middle States, with Col
orado thrown in. Its population is
,nuch less dense than that of our East
ern states, or that of China proper.
Tho latest estimates give it nearly the
nopulation of New York and Massa-
cbusetts combined-about S5OO,OOO.
The original Manchurians were not
Chinese. They were part of the out
side barbarian" world against which
the Chinese built their great wall The
present Chinese imperial dynasty, how
ever. is Manchurian, coming from
Mukden, the Manchu capital, where
their dead ancestors are buried.
Hence Mukden is sacred city in the
ewes of Chinese courtiers and it's cap
ture by the Japs in the recent war
had a corresponding political effect.
The Manchu language is employed
I'm the Chinese court, but is not I'M
derstood by the Chinese proper. When
Manchuria was added to the empire
it was der-populated, much as our
country was by the Indians, and to fill
1t up the Chinese transplanted there
Chinese Mahometans from Central
Asia and other mixed peoples. For
this reason the inhabitants of Man
churia are now of many races and
tongues, fact which makes it easier

Newchang, at the apex of the Gulf

New York city. Port Arthur is at the
point of a long peninsula which di-
vides the Gulf of Pechili from the yell
low sea, and which is fancifully known
as 1.-The Regents Sword" Its latitude
is that of Baltimore.
The climate, however, seems to be
more severe in Southern Manchuria
than in New York and Baltimore. The
presence of the vast mass of the Asian
continent behind the Yellow sea sub
jects the coast to billiards. from the

Russia has in Manchuria two claims

has legal right under the treaty with
China to maintain her railroads in
Manchuria and to keep troops there

troubles, however, Russia has kept

SOME INSURANCE FACTS.

I see that certain companies are
advertising that they will have funds
sent from the other side so as not to
disturb their American investments.
We won't have to have funds sent
from the other side, and we won't
have to disturb any American invest
ments either. We have more than
enough cold cash in one Hartford
bank than would pay all of our Balti-
more losses, and leave a pretty snug
nest egg to boot.
1t is a terrible calamity, 1t is true
for the country in general and for
Baltimore and its people in particu-
lar, but it carries with it lessons that
ought to be of service; 1t ought to
convince the other citizens of the
United States that when they want
insurance they want good insurance,
even If they do have to pay little
bit more for 1t.
The old line companies are no more
affected by confagrations than they
are by individual losses they know
| they are coming with a certainty
| though not so frequent as individual
| losses-and they prepare for them,
and are ready for them, and they do
not even disturb their equanimity.
That is the kind of insurance that
people want.
| Insurance is a good deal like the
| fellow with the gun out West: He
| might not need it often; he might
| never need 1t; but when he does need
it, he needs it mighty sudden.
Very truly yours.
