mier Seldom of New Zealand asking
the Canadian government to join with
the New Zealand and Australian gov

WAR NOW IMMINENT
Japan's Inaction Not Due to
Wish For Intervention.
HER STRENGTH UNDERESTIMATE.
Should MikndO's Troops Occupy no
rea the Belief Prevails That RUS
STA Would Not Risk Naval En-
gagement With Weak Fleet.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-A dispatch iron
Tokyo says that Japan has informed
Great Britain and the United State,
that her apparent inaction is not du'
to a desire for foreign mediation, blu
to a policy deliberately adopted.
A Port Arthur dispatch says: "Tht
Japanese are leaving here, and more
than 100 have left Dalny in one day
The Russians regard the Japanese seiz
ure of Mukpho as probable, with thu
object of making Russia fire the frs
shot. The trains from Europe are
crammed with troops. 1t is reported
that the japanese tried to set fire tt
the coal stores at Hardin"
Owing to the threatening news re-
ceived from Korea the commander OF
the Seventh Russian brigade has gone
to the Yalu river to select temporary
camps and effect a concentration of
troops.
Owing to the apprehension of a dar-
ing dash on the part of the japanese
at Port Arthur the authorities have
taken extraordinary precautions in and
about the town and along the whole
line of the Manchurian railroad.
Rumors having been circulated here
that the japanese intend to surprise
the warships in the harbor, a vigilant
watch is kept night and day.
The whole Russian fleet is now in
fighting trim.
A dispatch from Tientsin says that
the Russians have had q severe brush
with brigands at Hsiaokusan, near
Kirin, Manchuria.
Mr.. Kurino. the japanese minister,
in an interview, said that if war
should come he believed it would be a
prolonged one. He said it was difficult
now to see how it could be decisive,
considered solely from a military point
of view. 1.-The majority of the people
of Russia" said the minister, land
many persons abroad have undercs-
timated Japan's strength, the idea pre-
vailing in some otherwise well inform
ed quarters that Japan would be I'M
able to put more than 100000 soldiers
in the field. This idea is entirely err
r%Oneous."
If Japan occupies Korea the belief
prevails in some quarters that Russia
would not risk q naval engagement,
but would occupy northern Korea, ia
pan meanwhile possibly intrenching
herself OF the southern slope above
Gonsan, 115 miles northeast of Seoul.
While this is merely speculation, in
diplomatic circles it is given as II of
the reasons for believing hat ever in
the event of the failure of the present
negotiations the desire of both sides to
avoid the odium of an attack might
lead to a final delimitation Of the
boundaries on the basis of the terri
tory occupied.

has concluded a loan with a German
firm for a million taels in order to pur-

A vigorous Preacher.

Beginning his sermon one Sunday

orally three kinds of people Some
We're very worthy men and women.
Others were just lniddlings and might
be better than they were, but others
We're actual deeyils. He did not in
tend in this discourse to speak to the
first kind, who were already good
Christians and not greatly requiring
either advice or censure. The second
class would be all the better for some
plain speaking, but their case was not
so urgent as that of the third class
whom he had spoken of as positive
deeyils. "To Them" he said, 81 mean
to speak" Then, rolling up the right
sleeve of his coat and stretching out
his clinched fist in front of him, he
said, Now, We devils"

The Bullion That Went Down In

An italian company has been formed
to recover bullion sunk in Nigo bay 200

cannon having been brought up as eyi-

Vincible armada, Sir Francis Drake and
Sir John Norris wound up an expetli-
ton to Portugal by capturing yigo
burning the city and ravaging the
country. 1t was in 1902, however. in
the fighting days of Queen Anne, that
the great affair occurred. AS an old
line has it, 'in 1902 brave Rookie did
strew the depths of yigo bay with

War had been declared with France.
and Sir George Rookie, who rAld dis
tinguished himself at La Hogue and
afterward took Gibraltar while in com
mand of the united British and Dutch
squadrons, received information that
Spanish galleons richly laden were then
anchored at Vigo. On arriving there
he found that the commander of the
French escort had protected his convoy
by placing them behind an enormous
boom formed of masts, yards, chains,
cables and casks, but, undeterred, the
Torbay, under Vice Admiral Hopson
crashed through, to be very nearly
destroyed, however, by a fire ship. 1t
is said that the latter still had its
cargo, which consisted of snuff, aboard,
and when it blew up the snuff pre-
vented the flames from making head

killing q King Cobra.

Tales of tiger shooting in India are
common enough, but one does not hear
much about king cobra hunting. A.
Mervyn Smith tells how, accompanied
by two natives, he went 10 spot
where a pair. OF king cobras were
known to be. On arrival at the place
he was made to get under a basket.
the meshes of which were too small
for king cobra to pSt his head
through. While he was beneath this
basket one of the snakes came out and
was shot with arrows by natives. The
other cobra then appeared and endeav-
ored to overturn the coop. Describing
the incident the writer says: ",The ter
ror of that moment | cannot express
What II it should oyerturn the basket?
The strength of thirteen feet of muscle
must be enormous, and If used i'm the
right direction would soon overcome
my pull at the cord. What would then
happen? Certain death for me, felt

in rapid succession, and had the salts

The skyscraper stage has been
reached in the development of the
tomato in southern California, accord
ing to the Los Angeles Times. One Of
the latest prodigies in that succulent
vegetable is a group of three thirty
foot vines that have borne fruit at all
seasons and under all sorts of climatic
conditions. These remarkable growths
are in the gardens of f. G. Case in
Pasadena
1t is necessary to use an eighteen
foot ladder to harvest the tomatoes,
for the vines have covered q trellis
twenty feet in height, where they have
tangled themselves into a thick, COM
pact mass of greenery. The seeds of
these wonderful plants were sown last
May and have been growing and bear
ing ever since; in fact, the vines are
always flied with bloom and both
green and ripe fruit.
