Russia and Japan.

The war IN the ORIENT Is htill
progressing but the combatants
are, neither Of them, displaying
the vim and energy, which they
showed when the war begun. The
naval operations seem to be about
at an end. The Japs have de-
stroyed the war ships and torpedo
destroyers Of the Russians, and
there remains nothing more, in
that branch Of the service, For them
to do. It is said hal the Gear has
ordered Admiral Rojestvensky t.
return with the Baltic feet. This
leaves the seas open to the Jap.
and there ls, at present, no likel-
hood of any more fighting on
water by the two forces.
The winter has set in IN Man
churia and the operations OF the
contending forces will soonbe clos
ed for the season. Winter quarters
must be provided to protect these
great armies from the chilling
blasts which sweep over the
mountains and seas, the scenes
Of the strife. During the winter
months the men and horses will
rest and when they are passed they
will 60 to fighting again in good
trim. In the meantime all thu
factorie s and ~arsenals will be busy
manufact uriDg and gathering Ill
guns and Ammunition and supplies
to keep up the armies during an
other fighting season.
What these nations are fighting
about is a mystery known only to
themselves.
Each of them seems resolved
to continue the fight until the
bitter end Russia is the greatest OF
christian nsti"ns and can keep up
the war indefinitely unless inter
nicene disorders threaten the life
Of the nation. Already the thun'
dars of revolt against the Gar art
beginning to rattle. What turn
events may take can not be fore
told. Stronger rulers have been
hurled from power by oppressed
and DISCONTINUED subjects. Japan
has sprung from the darkness OF
paganism into the light of clviliza'
ton within the last half century.
She has mastered the arts Of wal
and is showing the world that she
is one of the worlds powers.
There could not exist a war OF
such magnitude between any other
nations Of equal strength that
would so little affect commercial
affairs of other nations. The
markets Of Europe and our own
do not seem to be- at all disturbed
by this war. The remoteuess OF its
scenes together with the dlssiml-
larity of peoples and interests re
duce its effects upon us and our
trans Atlantic brethren. How
long it will last is only a matter OF
conjecture. Let US hope, for the
good Of mankind, that it may svon
terminate. Cd

WILSON
AVENUE
TRAGEDY

That some kind of tragedy occurred
in Wilson avenue last night is evident
from the evidences found there this
morning. 1t is a deep mystery, and
the most intelligent search on the part
of many people has failed to bring to
light the true facts.
At an early hour today Albert To.
zier, the state printing expert, was go.
ing to the state house when he espied
lady's handkerchief short distance
from the path under a spreading tree.
Upon closer investigation there were
other articles of wearing apparel, in.
cluding a comb, shoe laces, and few
more little trinkets usually worn by
well-dressed women. There were signs
that these things had not been placed
on the ground with the utmost care,
but they were scattered in profusion.
State Land Agent Oswald West, who
is said TO be an expert on these mat
ters, was called, and assisted Mr.. To-
zier in taking charge of the "ind -

Frank Buschell Took Chilly Bath
In Keweenaw Bay.

Frank Buschell took an involun-
tary plunge in the icy waters of
Keweenaw bay Monday while on
fishing excursion with A. A. Brock
way. He broke through the ice at
a point about two miles from shore
while crossing the bay to Pequam-
ing. Mr.. Buschell was walking a
considerable distance in advance Of
Mr.. Brockway. Suddenly the ice
gave way beneath his feet and he
dropped through into the water.
Lying fiat upon the ice Mr.. Brock
way reached out stout stick that
he carried in his hand. Buschell
grasped it and after struggling for
several minutes pulled himself out
with his friends assistance. The
two men made their way to Kewee.
nav Bay and took the next train for
home. Mr.. Buschell is confined to
his home as result OF the chill and
consequent exposure.

OF INTEREST TO
TAX-TITLE BUYERS
AuditOr-GeneraI Issues Import
ant Circular.

The annual tax sales will be held
at the county treasurers offices
throughout the state, beginning on
May 3, and in view OF recent deci-
sion of the supreme court, the
auditor general has sent the county
treasurers circular, calling atten-
tion to fact which has an important
bearing on the validity OF these sales.
The decision of the court is to the
effect that sale made to any person
at the county treasurer Office
from the state tax land list at the
regular annual sale is subject to
redemption for the same period and
exactly under the same terms as a
redemption from the tax record.
Any sale, therefore, made to an indi-
vidual at the coming sale will be
subject to redemption for all the
years sold, both from the tax record
and the state tax land list, on pay
ment of the amount for which the
property is sold with interest at
per cent. per month. When the
lands are bid by the county treas.
urer to the state from the tax record
the redemption is simply from the
tax record and does not carry with
it redemption of the same descrip-
ton from the state tax land list.
Deeds will not be issued by the
auditor-general on certificates issued
by the county treasurer for sales
from the state tax land list until
after the period of redemption ex-
pires
The effect OF the courts decision
will be to induce prospective pur-
chasers of tax titles to wait until
such purchases may be made at the
Office of the auditor-general.

TWO men DROWNED
John MatsOn and Charles Kolila,
of Pequaming, Broke Through
the Ice While Walking on
Keweenaw Bay.

John Matson and Charles Kolila,
OF Pequaming, met watery grave
in Keweenaw Bay Sunday evening.
The bodies were recovered Tuesday
morning.
AS near as can be ascertained, the
two men left Pequaming early Sun
day morning, walking across on the
ice to Keweenaw Bay, which town
is located directly opposite from
Pequaming, about two and one-half
miles. In the evening (the exact
hour is not known), they started for
home, and when about one mile out,
broke through the ice, and went
down. At that point the water is
about sixty feet deep. The place
where the men broke through was
about four feet square, aud the ice
must have been very thin.
Monday, Andrew Friski, OF Pc
quaming, while out on the ice look
ing after his fishing nets, noticed u
mans hat, and reported the fact,
upon his return. Parties at once
went to the scene, and the bodies
were recovered Tuesday morning.
1t is indeed singular that the bodies
did not drift under solid ice away
from the opening. Both bodies were
found side by side, being hauled out
by small hooks.
Matson was married man, 40
years of age, his wife and children
living in Finland. Kolila was %
years OF age, and single. Both men
we're employed in Pequaming by
Hebard & Sons. Charles Gamach,
OF Keweenaw Bay, cashed a check
for Kolila on Saturday, and on the
body of this man $50 and two gold
watches were found. 1t is learned
that Kolila was temperate man.
Gordon Johnston, coroner, held
an inquest at Pequaming Tuesday
afternoon. The following-named
gentlemen were empanelled as
jurors: Clarence Foster, William
Deschaine, Alex Ligarre, Joseph
Provencher, Ditlof Anderson, and
Henry Rose. After listening to
what testimony could be obtained,
the jury rendered verdict that the
two men came to their deaths by
accidental drowning.
The funerals were held at Pc
quamlng Wednesday.
