GREAT LAKES
Ana Natural Springs of Naphtha DIscov-
cred In Eastern Asia.
|Iscov.T

Philadelphia Record
Eastern Asia Is one Of the richest min
eral-fuel regions in the world, according
to a recent consular report. The area Of
al the paying coal layers in Europe COM
prlses only 22,760 square miles, an area
equal to that of one Of the Russian PROV
lnce-the kazan province. The area of coal
layers In eastern Asia, tho not yet esti-
mated, Is considered incalculable
Beside immense coal beds, eastern Asia
possesses wealthy underground naphtha
lakes that will soon be the foundation Of
q great industry. Naphtha springs are
found everywhere in China in Manchuria,
In the Ussuri district, in japan. and on
Sakhalin island. The latter island not
only possesses very rich coal mines, but
also large naphtha lakes. The chemical.
engineer, K. S. Platonoff, after having
examined the coal beds and naptha wells
In Texas and Pennsylvania made an in
vest1gation of the naptha springs on SAX
hal1n island, and on his return to Baku
declared that all he had seen in the United
States was nothing in comparison to what
he found on Sakhalin-
The naphtha springs near the river Moo
toVo, on Sakhalin, excel those Of Baku in
every regard. Seven underground naphtha
lakes are there, the area Of the largest
one being $4,000 square meters (75,320
square yards).
Notwithstanding the increased output Of
the Japanese naptha industry Japan
must still import foreign naphtha. In 1900
she imported more than 60, 600, 900 gallons, /
and In 1901 more than $1,000, 900 gallons.
Inc export from Japan is inconsiderable,i
50 that the Japanese naphtha does not
threaten to become a rival to Salxhalin
naphtha. On the contrary, Japan prom
ines to become good market for the
Sakhalin naphtha
The development Of the oil industry on
sakhalin island will help the river naviga-
ton on the Amur and in the far east gem
orally.
The ministry Of agriculture and imperial
properties has ordered that the thirty
three-mile line along the southeaste
coast of Lake Baikal be acknowledged as
actual Notwithstanding land 1t ex-
tends from Kultchuoy to the mouth OF
river Charmushan GA degrees north lati-
tude), to the north from Svyatoy Moss.

Kansas City, Mo-, March aI.-The
first of the republican. state conven-
tions to be held in Missouri this year
meets iii convention hall in this city
tomorrow and the city is already filing
with delegates and visitors. The con.
Evention will choose four delegates-at-
large and four alternates to the ma
tional convention to be held in Chi
-cago next June. Conferences Of the
party leaders are on the tapis for to-
might and it is probable that the work
of the convention will be fully deter
mined in advance Of the gathering be-
ing called to order and that the pro-
gramme will go through without a
hitch. Roosevelt sentiment predomi-
mates and resolutions indorsing him for
denomination will be passed tinani-
fllo,isly. It is also likely that the con-
yention will declare for Cryus p. Wal
bridge, former mayor Of St. Louis, for

unlikely. AT the coming meeting

A NEW SET OF ORDERS
ISSUED BY RUSSIANS

New GhWang, March 2I.The for
eign consuls have officially notified
their governments that the Russian
|commander of. the garrison has forbid
den foreigners to go beyond the mud
walls OF the native city with the single
exception that they are allowed TO use
settlement and the foreign gunboats.
This exception is: made solely on ac-
count Of the presence Of the United
States gunboat Helena and the British
gunboat Espiegle, which otherwise
would be entirely cut off from com
munication with their respective set
Elements. The Russian order particu-
larly forbids visiting the forts on the
Lao River and also Wutatzu, a vii
|lage two miles south of the fort. The
above order IS declared to be a ileces-
sary military measure on account of
the arrangements being made for the
defense Of the coast.
Foreigners still have access to the
west and north shores Of Lao and use
|the railWayar telegraph, although the
Chinese managers of the telegraph line
have instructed their employees to with
draw to Then Chuang Tai in the event
|of hostilities. This action and also the
threatened withdrawal Of the railways
|staH is severely condemned on account
| of their being outside Of real danger.
The German consul at Tien-Tsin, in
IAN official statement, says the purpose
lof his visit here Is to investigate the
causes Of alarm and the danger to Ger
man residents.
The Russian authorities have given
Inotice that no consular comn1tinica-

lnected with Dalny or Port Arthur will
