then retreated from 'the store and

fore February 3. On the last named
date Emperor Nicholas ordered the
preparation of a draft of defnitive in
structions to Baron de Rosen, the Rus
sian Minister to Japan, based upon the
deliberations of this conference. On
February s identical kilograms were
sent to Viceroy Alexieff and Baron de
Rosen containing the text of the draft
of a proposed Russo o-Japanese agree
ment, with a full statement of the rea-
sons which prompted Russia to mod
ify the Japanese proposals, and general
instructions to Baron de Rosen con-
corning the presentation of the reply
to the Japanese Government. Forty
eight hours before the receipt of the
news of the rupture Foreign Minister
Lamsdorf notified Kurino of the dis
patch of the Russian reply. On Feb
ruary Viceroy Alexieff notified the
Foreign Office of Baron de Rosen's re-
ceipt of the reply.
On February at p. m. Kurino
quite unexpectedly handed to Count
Lamsdorff two notes, notifying him of
the rupture of the negotiations of dip
lomatic relations and adding that he
(Kurino) and his staff would leave St.
Petersburg on February 20. These
notes were accompanied by a public
letter from Kurino to Count Lams-
dorff, expressing the hope that the
rupture of relations would be con-
fined to the shortest possible time. On
the same day Viceroy Alexieff, Baron
de Rosen and all the Russian repre-
sentatfves in Peking, Toxic and the
capitals of the great powers were in
formed by urgent kilograms of the
rupture of relations and of the issue Of
an imperial order withdrawing the
Russian legation from Toxic and lay
ing upon Japan the responsibility for
all consequences ensuing. The COM
munication iconcludes:
Although the breaking off of Dip
lomatic relations by no means implied
the opening of hostilities, the Japanese
Government, as early as the night of
February and during February and
10. committed a whole series of re-
voting attacks on Russian warships
and merchantmen, attended by viola
tions of international law. The de-
cree of the Emperor of Japan declar-
ing war was not issued until Feb
ruary H."

During a discussion in regard to
utilizing the services unsparingly Of
fered b. the girlhood and womanhood
of Russia for the relief of the wounded
the Czarina proposed temporarily to
suspend the studies in the girls
schools in order that the girls might
be able to devote the school hours to
sewing. The suggestion was ap-
plauded, but no definite action was
taken. Her Majesty, who is an ex-
pert needlewoman. has done much to
encourage sewing among Russian So
ciety women.
Now that the Government has Off
cially recognized the public subscrip-
ton to provide war vessels to replace
those destroyed by the enemy the
newspapers are discussing the best
type of vessel, opinion veering from
submarine boats to torpedo boat de-
stroyers. A service organ points out
that cruisers would take too long to
build, adding that it prefers powerful
torpedo boats and suggests that they
be built where the japanese got
theirs.
Financial circles approve the action
of the Imperial Bank in selling Lon
don. Paris and Berlin bills cheaper
than before the war, believing this
measure will thwart the spectators in
those centers, where they are trying
to force down the price of the ruble.

Immediately preceding the rupture
with Japan was published in the Ohi-

of rectifying certain statements from
Japanese sources" In this account it
is stated that upon receipt of the late
Japanese proposals, on January 16, the
Government Immediately proceeded to
examine the Japanese demands, and
on January % Kurino, the japanese

inquiry. that the Car had intrusted

MALE WHO CARRIES 1T.
CARRIERS POOR WAGES.
Representative Hearst Sought to
Have Rural Service C0ndi.
tiOns Bettercd.

Rural letter carriers have lost their
fight to obtain adequate compensation
from the government. The Republic
an majority in congress has gone on
record in favor of the meager allow
ance Of $50 month to rural carriers
who have to buy and feed their own
horses and work every day in the year
in all kinds of weather
When the rural carriers went to con-
gress with their petition they found
but half dozen active supporters. and
In the lead of the fight for justice and
decent wages stood Representative
William Randolph Hearst of New
York. Against the united opposition
to fair increase Mr. Hearst and n
few fair minded Democrats sought to
amend the postal appropriation bill
and give the carriers salaries common
surate with the service they perform
Their efforts were frustrated by de-
termined majority. The rural carriers
are now worse off than they were a
year ago. Their salaries have been in
creased to $72O year. but the privi-
lege to carry express and daily news
papers is taken away from them.

Cheap Coal.

In a recent report by the American
consul at Vladivostok it is stated that
coal Is mined in that district at a cost
Of 2 cents ton. Until short time ago
the cost Of production was 5 cents a
ton. In fixing wage rates for Amer
lean miners the coal barons invariably
make comparisons with the cost of pro
duction in other parts of the world,
and this tends to keep the earnings of
the American at the lowest possible
point. About the only influence in this
country which has combated the wage
reducing tendency Of the coal barons
has been the insistent and persistent
effort Of the Hearst papers, which are
under the direct editorial management
Of William Randolph Hearst.
Attempts have been made to enforce
antitrust laws to loosen the grip of the
coal operators upon American domestic
and industrial life, and the publicity
given the methods Of the greedy monop-
olists has been effective in mitigating
somewhat the unjust conditions.

that the average cost of living in Amer

statement is based undoubtedly on
wholesale market quotations.
