MAY DEFEND SIPINGHAI.
Russian Rear Guard Has strong
Position and May Make q
Stand.

st. Petersburg. March 25.-The Rus
sian rear guard is now occupying line
of fairly strong natural positions 81
miles south of Gunshu pass. the center
being the railroad village Of Sipinghai
and the TANKS covering the roads on
either side which apparently 1t Is the
intention to defend long enough to
force the Japanese to show their hand.
The Russians may however, have been
outfanked and have no intention Of
making serious stand especially as
all the correspondents continue to re-
port rumors Of wide turning operations
on both tanks indicating a probable
basis in fact. The correspondents
believe a resumption Of hostilities on
a grand scale are improbable inside Of
three months.

FINE PLAN FOR ENGLAND.
Would Form Triple Alliance with
Japan and the United
States.

London, March 2S.-The Daily Tel
egraph this morning editorially returns
to the subject of peace negotiations
and II the common interests OF Great
Britain, Japan and the United States
in the far east. The newspaper thinks
that though such triple alliance is
eminently desirable the Monroe Doc
trine would prevent America from al
lying herself with Japan, but that as
for as Great Britain and Japan are con-
cerned there Is nothing to prevent a
permanent offensive and defensive al
lance which the Daily Telegraph con-
tends might even induce Japan to fore
60 indemnity and which by placing at
Great Britain's disposal in India the
service of Japan's fine troops would
forever remove the apprehensions OF
Russian invasion of India. The Daily
Telegraph further says that such a
treaty, which would date from the con-
clusion of peace, would with the moral
support of the United States behind 1t.
be q guarantee of the preservation OF
peace in the far east, the open door
in China and the development OF
trade for all nations in the Orient
Russia herself, the article says, would
reap advantages in her enormous en-
pire, which only requires exploration
and development.

WANT RUSSIAN PLEDGE.
Japan 20 Ask That Russia ARree 60
Buiid NO More warships for
Term of Years.

Paris. March 27.-It was stated In
diplomatic quarters here that among
the conditions Of peace which Japan
might ask would be that Russia give
4 pledge TO build no more warships for
term of years. A diplomatic Official
said that such a condition would be
the most effective means of assuring
Japan against Russia's carrying out
her cherished project Of naval rearm-
ment for the renewal of hostilitites un-
der better conditions than those ut
present existing.
II Is well known that Russia contem-
plates n huge plan Of naval rehabili-
tation. Admiral Doubasoff, the head
Of the technical board of the admiralty,
Captain Clado, formerly chief tech
meal officer under Vice Admiral Roj-
sstvensky. and other Russian naval au-
thorities recently have taken the posi-
ton that peace was desirable until a
naval reconstruction could be complet-
ed. This appears to have stimulated
Japan's diplomats to consider means OF
avoiding a peace that would be equiv
alent to no mare than truce during
which Russia would have time to forge
an effective weapon, and therefore the
lntimation is now given that limitation
Of Russian naval armament may figure
rs q means of ensuring a prolonged
peace in the Orient.

Effects Of Prosperity.

In the six years Of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1908,
average prices Of breadstuffs advanced :
65 per cent, meats 23.1 per cent. dairy
and garden products 50.1 per cent. and :
clothing 24.1. All these were products =
of the farmer and stocllman who"
profited more than any other class OF
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent. by
that advance in the average price OF
metals. The only decrease in the"
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates,
which decreased from 1893 per ton-miles
in 1897 to .763 in 1908, loss Of Al
per cent. The report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission shows that the
average increase in the pay of rail-

oats and barley from 200 acres. But !.
part of the wheat went down before ,

for hay. The crop was worth at
threshing time $4,000. Besides 12Oo
acres laying idle, except timothy

estimate. Counting the value OF the
product and the increase Of value Of,
