DRAWBACK WANTED ON
CANADIAN SEED WHEAT

Washington, D. c., Jan. 5.-Repre-
sentative Halvor Steenerson had a
long conference with Secretary OF the
Treasury Shaw relative to the free i'm
portation of Canadian wheat from
Manitoba. Several farmers in the vi
cinity of Hallock are desirous of OBJ
tanning Manitoba wheat for seed. Un-
der the provisions of the Dingley act
they will have to pay tariff duty of
rs cents per bushel.
The Manitoba wheat is better quality
and makes the kind Of -four which
keeps up the reputation of Minnesota
for No. Northern.
Secretary Shaw could not find any
authority for importing Canadian
wheat free. of duty, but promised to
look into the matter. He told Mr..
Steenerson that he believed it would
be. a good thing, but that it presented
an entirely new proposition to him,
The congressman requested Secretary
Shaw to submit the question to Attor-
ney General Moody for consideration
along with the drawback proposition.
II told the secretary" said Mr..
Steenerson, ''that our farmers would
undoubtedly agree to export all wheat
raised from seed received from Mani
toba." III ,.y.,.." i zf..s., =

PEACE WILL FOLLOW

4 Toxic, Jan. 5.-The weight Of opin-
ion in Japanese official circles seems to
be against a belief in the early con-
olusion Of peace, and doubt is express
sed that the fall OF Port Arthur will
materially affect the situation.
d One of the several officials who dis
cussed the question with the CORES
.pondent of the Associated Press voic-
ed the sentiment Of the majority when
he said:
@ we are confronting situation
which continues to be purely military.
The present problem is created by
general Kuropatkin's army and by the
Russian second Pacific squadron. We
are deyoting all attention to them.
1--WE anticipate that the Russians
will renew more deterininedly than
ever their effort to drive Field Mar
shal Oyama back and that they will
strive to get in supremacy at sea. We
are preparing to defeat both these OBJ
sjects. 4. Il.

QUEER SECT AMONG SOLDIERS

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-Among the
interesting letters from Manchuria is
one just received from Artillery Cap
tain Ugorsky, who tells of curious
state of religious exaltation produced
among the uneducated Russian sol
diers by the strained excitement OF the
last few months. - -. s,
"In two of the Siberian regiments"
he writes, "a sect who call themselves
'Krovoupitsi' (bloodsuckers) has made
considerable progress. These men
have sworn to accept no quarter, to
expose themselves as much as possi-
BILE in the battlefield, and to keep as
far as possible an exactly accurate ac-
count of the number of sheathen' they
have killed. To slaughter race which
rejects Christ they believe to be a
pious act; and many of them dread
any conclusion of peace which would
leave a single Japanese alive. AT the
recent battle of Sha-ho some OF these
men came into great prominence. They
stood up in the trenches, screamed
fierce Defiance. and attempted to rush
out to meet the enemy. One man
kept constantly exposing himself
where the fire was hottest, and when
bullet went through his chest scream
ed delightedly. Now. am saved,
brothers. They are Christian der
wishes, in fact" ..-....5st,ss
