TAKES UP TiDE-LAND OPTIONS
L. r. Manning Pays for Land East Of
the River.
General Agent.

TACOMA. Aug. 9.-Some important
options on tide f1at-lands which have
been regarded here as having signif-
cant bearing on the coming Of another
transcOntinental railroad to Puget
Sound have been taken up by l.. r.
Manning. although they We're not due
to expire for several days. Mr.. Man
ming gives no intimation as to whether
he Will take up other options on ad
joining properties which are not due
for some time to come.
Although Mr.. Manning, has made a
statement concerning his action, the
public is still mystitied as to it's sig
nificance Mr.. Mannings statement is
as follows:
The first of the options secured
some time ago on property on the tide
flats has been taken up and paid for
today. The tract purchased lies east
of the Puyallup river is about one and
one-q quarter miles long and averages
about 1000 feet wide, comprising nine
ty-one acres. and was the property of
Allen c. Mason.
The title for this property was held
under contracts from the state which
have been duly assigned, and the
deed will be issued to the new owners
and recorded as soon as signed by the
governor. We have options on large
amount of property on the flats that
expire during this month, a large por-
ton of which will be taken up.
Until recently I had been given to
understand that my clients had these
options secured for the purpose of es-
tablishing a large manufacturing plant
here, but now know that it will not be
used for that purpose. While I am
not at this time at liberty to say def
nitely for what purpose it is intended,
can state that it is a transaction of far
greater importance to this city than
anything that has been cOnsummated
since the Northern Pacific Railway
company decided to make Tacoma
their principal terminal on the Sound"

KANSAS CITY, MO-, April 16.-The

Kan, may be closed permanently as a
result of the race feeling that has
grown out OF the killing Of Roy Mar
tin, white pupil by a negro. Although
there was but little outward show of
excitement today, the situation is still
considered grave Many persons, both
white and black, discussed the best
means of preventing further trouble.
1nasmuch as separate schools cannot
be provided without an act of the legis-
lature, the general sentiment was in
favor Of closing the school for the re-
mainder of the term at least.

Philippine Bond Bids.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 16.-
There were fifteen bids for Philippine
certificates today, number smaller by
far than the aggregate of bids at the
last letting. This is accounted for by
the fact that the department prefers
to award the contract en- bloc. The
highest price offered today, 1O1.1S1. is
more than 1 per cent less than was bid
for the last issue of these certificates.
In May, 1903, they sold for 1O2.513, and
at the September letting last year
1O2.24 was realized. Considering the

The cause OF the trouble between
Japan aud Russia relates back to the
war between Japan and China in 1894.
That conflict arose over riAalry between
the two last countries named, for con-
troll OF the trade and commerce of
Corea. The fighting began il that ter
ri.ory, and after the japanese were vic.
torious there they marched through
Corca and Manchuria to invest Port
Arthur which they succeeded in cap
turing, and also the Port OF Wei Hal.
Wei. BY the treaty OF SlIinonoseki III
the following year, between the two
nations, the independence OF Corea ives
established. The island OF Formosa
WAS coded to Japan and also the Lao
tung peninsula. including Port Arthur
and Wei Hal. Wei.
But japan had no sooner obtained
these territorial advantages on the
main land MS IA result Of her remarkable
victory. than Russia stepped IN with the
OBJECTION tina: possession Of Port Arthur
by Japan w"uld mean control OF the
gateway Ia Prkin, and so the balance OF
power i'll the east would be disturbed
France and Germany supported Russia
in this contention and japan was re-
luctan,ly Obliged to relinquIsh these
spoils Of war. japanese have ever
since been haters Of Russia, and their
luminosity was intensified when three
years later Russia herself took possseion
OF Port Arthur, Wei.IIai-We which tor
titled seaport she still retains.
CorSa will no doubt be the fighting

far rs land forces are concerned. Each
will strive to seize and retain That
territory, which, far more than Man

ton. The nation which can gain pos.
session aud hold it will have accom-
plished her main object. But as Japan
must send her troops to Coica by water,
and MS both beligerent nations will
have large quantities 81 military stores
under transport upon the Pacific, when
hostilities open, there Will be imme.

The general expectation is that in the

OF naval character. Whichever can win
n decisive naval victory and thus obtain
possession OF the avenues ot transpor.
tation by sea, will have I'M enormous
advantage. 1t has been suggested, how.
ever, that Russia may pursue IL cautious
policy, retaining her war vessels in the
strongly fortified harbors Of Port Ar.

her troops through Manchuria into
