Inconvenience of Losing Ones Characte

In England no servant can get a really

Reasoning Power of Animals.

Men apparently conceive ideas from q
"clear sky" but such genius could not
manifest itself were not the mind al
ready highly cultivated by much CON
scious effort-reasoning- experience.
On the other hand, animals and small
children become conscious of much
knowledge by merely witnessing the in
telligent movements of others, and in
time, without thought or effort On their
part, they suddenly discover that they
also are competent to do the same thing,
or, in other words, they begin to initiate.
1t is a general impression among psy-
biologists that animals probably do not
reason; they have no ideas as we have.

BELIEVED ADMIRAL TOGO WILL
INDULGE IN WORRYING TAG
TICS ON RUSSIANS.
ROJESTVEHSkY ANXIOUS TO FIGHT
NIGHT TORPEDO ATTACKS TO BE
ONE OF METHODS USED
BY THE JAPANESE.

st. Petersburg, April 20.-The keen
est interest is manifested in the dis
patches referring to the Russian
squadron commanded by Admiral Ro-
jestvensky, but the admiralty claims
to be as much in the dark as the pub
lie regarding the plans of the admiral.
The report that part of the squadron
was sighted off Hongkong is not cred
tied here, however, as Hongkong Is
far off his route. The main question
now agitating the naval officials is
whether Rojestvensky will elect to
proceed northward through the straits
of Formosa or bear off into the Pa
cific through Bashi channel, south of
the island of Formosa, or Baling Tang
channel, north of the island of Luzon.
The conviction Is growing stronger
that the Japanese heavy division is
concentrating close TO the shores OF
Japan and il is also believed that
Admiral Togo will decline to give bat
tie in the open sea. This is what
the admiralty officials hope for, as 1t
sincerely believes Rojestvensky would
have more than an even chance If the
two squadrons lined up in open fight.
They believe that Togos tactics will
be night torpedo boat attacks in at
tempts to scatter the Russian ships,
putting some of them out of action
and then picking off the damaged yes-
sells in the morning. as it is recog-
nized that IL one of the Russian ships
is injured 1t might be too dangerous
for the whole squadron to stand by
her and thus offer a big target for
the Japanese torpedoes. Such run
ming fight, accompanied by nightly
torpedo attacks, therefore is what is
most dreaded

AMERICAN NAVY ACTIVE.
Every Precaution Taken to Enforce
Philippine Neutrality.

FniltppIne Neutrdiity
Washington, April 20.-Rear Ad-
miral Train, commander-in-chief of the
Asiatic station. has reported to the
navy department by cable that the
Paraguay is at Jolo. the Mindoro at
Pollok, Mindanao island, and the Wis
consin at Olongapo, on Subig bay,
island of LuZon. He also reported
that the Quiros is cruising in Ling
ayen gulf and that the torpedo boats
Dale and Decatur are cruising off the
island OF Palawan.
Reference to the map of the arch
ipelago shows that this disposition af-
fords excellent opportunities for OBJ
serving the movements OF the hostile
fleets should they approach or enter
Philippine waters.
While the vessels, with the eXcep-
tion of the Wisconsin at Olongapo, are
but small gunboats which could do no
more than make observance, they all
carry the flag, which it is believed
would be sufficient for the purpose OF
enforcing neutrality in the waters con
tiguous to the American possessions
in the Far East. The complete sys-
tenn of cables between the islands and
the land lines across the islands will
enable Rear Admiral Train to keep

PAYMENT OF CHINESE DEFICIT.
Powers and China Finally Reach an
Agreement.

New York, April 20.-After two
years discussion the powers and
China will sign an agreement at once,
according to a Herald dispatch from
Feking, regarding the payment of the
deficit in the indemnity due to the
fall in the price of silver and proyid-
ing for the future payment OF the in
demnity in gold.
The agreement comprises three par
agraphs, and, briefly stated, sets forth
that China is to pay fifteen days after
the signature of the document the
sum of S6,000,000 and interest at
per cent on this amount from Jan
uary, 1905, which sum is to be ac'
cepted in full payment OF all deficits
due to the change from silver to
gold.
In the second paragraph China
agrees to sign Immediately fractional
gold bonds, expressing the amounts
due to each country in the coinage OF
that country.
BY the third paragraph China un-
dertakes in the future to pay the
amount due each year in twelve equal
monthly installments, credited every
six months. China will be allowed
interest at per cent on the monthly
payments made in advance of these
biennial periods. China may pay also
in gold bullion, gold drafts or tele-
graphic transfers of silver at the av-
erage monthly London rates, each for
eign government selecting the method
il prefers.
