AMERICA IS
 THREATENED Europe, Too, Now Claimed to Be in Danger. HNO-JAPANESE TREATY Manchurian Trade Cause Of
 the Trouble. New York Dispatch to Russian Paper Says if Rojestvensl<y Is Beaten All the Powers Will Demand
 Peaces
CHINO-JAPANESE TREATY

St. Petersbug, April 17.-(12:45 a. m.) --The Novoe Vremya prints a dispatch from New York saying that the yer low peril" is not now derided. Far sec ing business men with their eyes on the Chinese markets have, accoroiiis to this dispatch, finally awakened 10 the growing political innuence or pan over China and the prospect or complete industrial domination in the future. American hostility to Russia, the dispatch continues, is really not against Russian occupation of Manchu- ria, but is due to the belief that It IS intended to monopolize the traoe or this rich Chinese Province. The dis- patch says the existence of a secret Chino-Japanese treaty is already hiht- ed and adds ::
 "The danger threatens Europe as well as America and if Rojestvensky is beaten all the powers, under the lead- ership of America, may join to make peace
 Editorializing on this dispatch, The Novoe Vremya says 1t Is no longer the yellow peril which Europe and America are facing and refers to the words of a French savant who when asked how long the war would last, replied, two hundred years Europe does not seem to understand the terrible truth.
 The Novoe Vremya predicts that "the enigma of the future historian will be the indifference, even the hostility, of some other nations towards the great struggle between Japan and Russia which means inevitably conflict be- tween Asia and Europe" and quotes the words of the Vice-Governor of Jeru- salem on the awakening of the Arabs in Asiatic Turkey to show the deep seated hatred of Asia toward all Euro peans and the eventual menace to Flu rope-not the yellow, but the Asiatic peril

 St. Louis, April 16.-For the first time in six years St. Louis has been a "dry" town for twenty-four hours, and for the first time in the history. the "dryness" has been complete, even side doors being closed.
 Not only has 1t been a dry Sunday. but 1t has been shaveless, shineless. smokeless and almost hungry Sunday as well. Promptly at midnight last night the saloon lights were extin- guished and the patrons were required to depart at once. Barber shops i'm mediately closed, news and cigar stands followed suit, small grocery shops and delicatessen stores shut up and the large downtown restaurants did not open their doors today.
 s. H. Pattern was arrested thirty minutes after the legal hour for clos ing while he was engaged in trimming a patrons hair and the luckless occu- pant of the barber chair was forced to plead with the policeman before the barber was allowed to finish his work. The barber was then taken to police headouarters, where he was released with a warning.

Mr.. Gray said, yesterday, that plans
have been made to run until the river
freezes, but that low water in the
stream may make this impossible.
There is but natural stream running,
now, and it is frequently necessary to
stop operations temporarily because of
insufficient power. Business at this
mill has been good this season, and
there are plenty Of logs to start with
in the spring. Lumber men are an
ticipating higher prices early next
season, and for this reason probably
are not averse to saving logs for
spring.
In an interview, a lumber man of
South Gardiner said that the Law
renee mill would probably continue
operations until the middle of Deem
Der, and still have logs for next spring.
The season at this mill also has been
satisfactory. When asked If prices
would be higher in the early spring

the record for tall corn that 1t will be
difficult for any state to beat. Now
comes beet story, one it appears as
though it will be hard to beat. George
Foster, who lives near Baileyville, in
digging his beets, had the curiosity to
weigh one and it only lacked one-half
ounce of weighing ten pounds. This
may be small beet for Maine to raise,
but it seemed to the scribe, who saw
it, to be of fair proportions. The
scribe also saw some northern spy
apples from Walter Titus farm near
Baileyville, which looked like record
breakers. Mr.. Titus picked from "a
trees, 81 barrels of these apples and
who dare say they will not bring from
six to eight dollars a barrel in the
spring. This same orchard that looks
to be not over 4 acres, yielded 600 bar
rels in 1903, about 300 barrels in 1904,
and $50 barrels this fall. Should this
