PROFITS FROM THE WAR.

Among those who view with some
thing more than calm approval the
greater navy talk is Charles M.
Schwab. That Mr.. Schwab should
Havor greater navies all over the
world is not in the least surprising
since they would make more business
for his steel plants, but his interes.
in the matter does not lessen the
force and the probable truth of his re-
marks on the subject. In an interview
given out in Pittsburg, Mr.. Schwab
says:
''Pittsburg would reap enormously
from the conclusion of hostilities be-
tween Russia and Japan. The QUO
come of the recent naval engagement
will mean that all the large countries
will be compelled to build many new
shiK Great navies are the most ef-
feet he means of peace. President
Roosevelt is right when he says that.
Mr.. Schwab might have gone flu

policy contemplates opening Manchur-
ia to the trade of the world Already
the Japanese government has placed
in this country heavy orders for rails,
trucks and other railroad equipment
for use in Manchuria. A noted Japan
csc statesman, Baron Kentaro Ke.l-
EXC, in an interview in Public Opinion
is quoted as follows in regard to
Manchuria:
The first step will be to open Man
churia to the trade of the world alike
and to establish the industries OF the
province on firm and prosperous
basis We are fighting for an equal
share for all nations in the develop
ment of Manchuria. We are fighting
for the freedom of the worlds com.
merce and not for monopoly OF
Manchuria When Russia came in af-
ter our war with China, she drove out
the foreign enterprises. the Chinese
official who were nominally in control
of the province might grant license
to a foreigner to trade, to mine, 10
f.. manufacture, but unless it was vi
seed by the Russian officials it was
worthless.
Assuming that that this policy will
be carried out the United States is
certain to get the bulk of the iron
and steel trade with Manchuria, es
pecially during the years while the
country is being opened up. The re
gion is said to have considerable min
eral wealth, including large iron de
posits, but during the, developmen
stages the iron products will have u
be purchased abroad.

Royal Palace Haunted
Especial Correspondence.)

There are many hooks and rooms
and corners in the ancient palace Of
Hampton Court into which the public
never penetrate; among them the long
low gallery known as 1.-The Haunted
Gallery" This, it is said, Is now to
be thrown open, and is to form part
of that section of the palace which is
shown to visitors. No ancient man
sion in the United Kingdom better de-
serves the dread name of Haunted
House than the royal palace Of Hamp-
ton Court. which. since the great
cardinal built it, in the early part OF
the sixteenth century, has, perhaps.
seen more splendor and more suffering
than any other house in the land.
Like all ancient dwellings which
have been the continuous abode OF
men and women for centuries, the
sense of mystery" the charm Of ro-
nance, cluster about its antique walls,
and, of course, it is haunted-and by
no fewer than three ghosts. Jane Sey-

of Mrs. Penn is said to have appeared

Resemblance Led to Crime.


In the famous case of Martin
Guerre, the launching on a criminal
course was the result of an extraordi-
nary chance and sudden resolve.
Martin Guerre was q soldier, and was
mortally wounded in skirmish in the
north of France. Among his comrades
was a man remarkably like him, and
with whom Guerre had contracted a
great friendship. The two used to be
always together and enjoyed the joke
OF their strange resemblance.
Queries double was with him when
he was dying and Guerre, with his last
breath, begged his comrade to carry
some little trinkets he had to his wife
at home. The double assented and
proceeded to fulfill his promise faith.
fully.
When he arrived at the village on
his mission he learned that Queries
wife had, during her husbands alb.
sence in the war, come into some lit
tie property through the death Of a
relation. He began to envy Martin
Queries lot if he had lived. When
the villages saw him they began to
exclaim, Here's Martin Guerre!" BY
the time he arrived at the cottage
door he had decided to act Martin s
part, provided the dead mans wife
was deceived by his similarity to her
husband. She was, and the impostor
took Martin Queries place. The wife
only discovered the truth some twelve
months later by the absence from the
impostor's arm of a scar which Martin
had borne.

how we like the place. We have been

the place is fine. We have been out
every day this winter working in the

have not suffered with the cold as
much as we did in Chicago. My lit

sleighs having a good time. The low

We had splendid summer. We
put up about so tons of hay and will
have about 30 tons to sell. Hay

worked on the Can. Nor. Ry. for
awhile this summer and am just

I don't believe we have had day

that zero was cold in Chicago. But
we don't mind 1t one bit. Christmas

An interesting experiment in high

The signals were sent from Wash

following manner, as reported by Mr.
Lenahan at the Sidney Observatory
The 3 o'clock signal at 3.57 seconds

5 o'clock signal at 2.76 seconds after
the hour, and the o'clock signal at
2.55 seconds after the hour. The aver
