t St, Petersburg Will

London, Jan. 2s-The Daily Graphic claims to be able to affirm that Russia s draft to her reply has not yet been of- ficially presented to Japan, but that It has been communicated to Nj. kurino, the Japanese Minister at St. Petersburg, who has transmitted the contents to Tokio, whence 1t will be conveyed to the friendly powers.
 The Russian reply Is courteous, The Daily Graphic continues. but 1t refuses in uncompromising terms to permit the reinsertion in the draft of the treaty or the two words guaranteeing the integ- rity and independence of China, upon which Japan insisted in her last note.
 Integrity of China.
 The clause proposed by Japan was that Russia and Japan should agree to respect the integrity and independence of China and Corea." Russia has now stricken out twice the words China and -" and it Is understood that this will close the negotiations.
 It Is probable, The Daily Graphic states that when this note has been pre- sented Japan will notify Baron de Ro- sen, the Russian minister at Tolxio, that she has no alternative but to take mp arms in defence of her interests. and that M. Kurino will be instructed 10 oe- mand his passports.
 In the meanwhile, instructions have been sent to the two Japanese cruisers now at Colombo. to proceed to Singa- pore, where, in the event of war being declared, their crews will be paid off and the vessels laid up.

The spsech of Reda.

A successful maiden speech and quite a hit was made to-day by Representa- tive J. Adam Bede of Minnesota. It was perhaps the broadest. most liberal de- liverance which ever came from a Re- publican congressman.
 Bede was a Democrat in 1888 and in 1882. when he supported Cleveland, all though he said to-day that he was first a Republican, then a Democrat and last a Republican. The meantime, when he was a Democrat. he said was indeed the mean time of his political career
 Dropping the part of mock gravity W<th which he implored Democrats to abandon the fight with all their differ ences, disband and come into the Re publican party, making this year an era of good national feeling. he had some thing eulogistic to say of the South and the Southern people.
 In this he was so eloquent and happy as to captivate listening Southern con gressmen. '"The South" he said, "has q greater stake in the Panama canal con- struction than any part of the country" With the completion of the canal, he ex- pected to see Mobile become one of the great ports and New Orleans one of the greatest cities in the world, certainly the greatest exporting city in America.

the limp and helpless Judy, whose torn
dress was dyed with the crimson tide
that crept from her maltreated nose.
The meeting broke up in confusion.
Those who rejoiced most over the an
parent conversion of Blk Six were
loudest in condemnation of her method
of announcing it.
Don b'lieve dat mig ubbah thought

This was the universal verdict loudly

1t proved to be an unusually tu-

The air became fervid. High above the
songs of the younger ones could be

Our Sulphnte of Copper in Austria
The demand for sulphate of copper
is decreasing, and the receipts fell from
about &c metric tons in 1901 to 22.4 tons
in 1902. The imports from the United
States constitute about 70 per cent. of
the whole. viz. 15.4 tons. American
packing of sulphate of copper has i'm
proved, but is still far from being as
satisfactory as the British. | believe it
would pay our exporters to adopt for
foreign shipments the hardwood bar
rel. Such barrels would not only be
much less likely TO burst open during
the voyage. but would sell in Austria,
when emptied. for more than their cost,
while soft-wood barrels can be used only
for kindling. 1t might, at the same time,
be advisable to reduce the size of the
barrel. For shipments to the interior
Trieste importers are compelled to re-
pack the American article, using for
this purpose barrel containing only
$50 pounds, on account of the greater
convenience in loading and unloading
