EIGHT GRADE EXAMINATIONS

The next examination of eighth
grade pupils in the Walla Walla coun-
ty public schools will be held January
q and %. In holding the examina-
tons in the future County School Su-
perintendent Myers has adopted a new
plan which will be put into effect this
month. He has decided that the exam
ination of all pupils in the city schools
and those in the districts near Walla
Walla will be held at the Walla Walla
high schools. In addition to this there
will be examinations at Prescott, Wal
lula. and Waitsburg, where all the pu-
pills in the districts near those places
will meet. Il have inaugurated the
change for the reason that it will be
more convenient for the pupils said
Superintendent Myers, "ard it will
give the examining boards more time
to conduct the work. Heretofore it
has been the custom to hold these eX-
aminations in every district in the
county, and it has proven very salts

Japan Gratifed by Action of France.
CBy the Associated Press. J

Toxic, Feb. 22-The assurance OF
France that the Russian fleet, except two
torpedo boat destroyers, which have been
disarmed and will be detained until the
war ends. have left Jibutil. French
Southland, reached Toxic today, and pro
duced a feeling of general satisfaction.
The government is confident of the inten-
ton of France to refrain from permitting
the Russians to use its ports as bases Tor
naval operations, but is concerned over
the long delay of the flotilla at Jibutil,
and has made representations to France
on the subject. The re-affirmation OF
French neutrality is highly reassuring to
the present diplomatic situation. 1t is
thought here that the maintenance OF neu-
traiity on the Oriental ports is extremely
advantageous to Japan as it insures her
mastery of the naval situation, and limits
the Russian source of supply to the trans
Siberian Railroad.

side of the world is secure and that the
control Of the Philippines by this coun-
try had not been questioned.
The fact is, said Mr.. Burton, that the
United States does not need large navy,
urless there shall be combination of all
Europe with their navies against this
country. In such an event, he continued,
this country could not provide a suffi-
cient naval force without a change that
would be absolutely appalling.
We could not build a Eavy like that
OF Great Britain without changing the
whole framework OF our society,"" he said.
What is the reason fo2 the great ex-
penditura of $4,000, ,O0o?" asked Mr.. Bur
ton He answered the question by de-
clariHg that it means that this country is
but inviting the nations of the earth to
attack US and that this country is going
to enter a field opposite to that occu-
ped IN the past, and seek to control the
politics of the world.
The tendency now was toward peace,
continued Mr.. Burton, and no nation, he
said, could go to war except for just
cause without receiving the condemnation
pc&led for the employment of diplomacy
instead Of guns in the promotion of peace.
He questioned the minority as to when
they had opposed these expenditures.
He asked the minority why in view of
the declarations in the Kansas City plat
form. they had not opposed these expendi-
lures.
Mr. williams said Mr.. Burton had placed
the minority in an unfair attitude He
said to oppose the expenditures would
mean that vessels now building would
rust in their docks and that the sailors
would so unfed. Mr.. Williams said that
such large sums were being expended for
war purposes that the River and Harbor
Committee, of which Mr.. Burton is chair
man, could not bring in a bill and that
tho government buildings could not be
constructed. He said when a country
goes world powering" it must go about
with a chip on its shoulder and be pre-
pared.
Mr.. Burton said his remarks were not
to be construed to mean that work should
be brought to a standstill on ships un-
dor construction or that the navy should
not be maintained but what he Gid mean
was that there should be q great modifi-
ca ton of the bill (applauso on the Demo
cratic side).

Hayashi's Views on the Situation.
(By the Associated Press.)

London. Feb 22-The latest advices of
Baron Hayashi, the japanese Minister to
Great Britain, lead him to believe that
the Japanese troops may now wait posi-
bly, two or three months before under
taking aggressive operations in Man
churia. He said:
I'VE have found that Russia is so unex-
pectedy unprepared that l should not be
surprised if the japanese land forces con-
tented themselves with establishing a
thorough organization and advancing as
the construction of the railroad towards
the Yalu River progresses. Russia, ap-
pears to be less prepared than was China
IN 1895. l believe that only three trains
a day can be run Through Manchuria.
Supposing these are equally divided be-
tween troops and supplies, as would be
necessary, Russia could not perceptibly
strengthen her land forces before April
Japan's naval coup has been so unexpect-
edly successful that 1 rather think our
troops will take their time. The shallow
inlets are now grozen over, retarding the
Decentralization of our forces. This is es
pecially true at Port Arthur. where
near landing of troops is impossible, owing
to the iee."
Baron Hayashi does not credit the re-
port that $500 Russians have been killed
in an outpost engagement at the Yalu
River He says there is no Japanese force
in that vicinity large enough to inflict
such loss.
The only naval development Baron
Hayashi expects in the near future is
possible attack on the Japanese fleet by
the powerful Russian torpedo fiotilla at
Port Arthur hitherto unused On the
Japanese side, except possible actions
against the Russian Vadivostock squadron,
the Japanese Minister does not look for
developments at present, believing that
Admiral Togo will be satisfied to keep the
disabled Russian squodron prisoners at
Port Arthur.
The Minister credits the Russians with
having barely 100000 troops in Manchuria.
