Russian authority as "The Official Messenger
Of 81 Petersburg, the order of the Incidents
was as follows
on January 16. 1904, the Russian government
"began 10 examine" the latest Japanese pro-
posals. On January 81 the Russians began NOV
ing troops toward the COrean frontier. On

at St Petersburg, was told the Car would con-
slider the japanese proposals on January 2S and
would probably not reply TO them before Fefru-
airy , On January 2S VicerOy Alexien ordered
the Russian troops on the COrean frontier to be
put on a war footing, and on February 1 the
Governor of VladivOstOk ordered the Japanese
10 prepare to leave that city. On February 2
the Gar ordered the preparation Of draft of
a reply to the japanese proposals. The next
day, February g. the draft was sent to Viceroy
Alexieff at Port Arthur. and simultaneously the
Port Arthur Russian war feet was modified
and sent out of the harbor On February the
Russian Foreign Minister, Count LamsdOrf, told
Mr.. Kurino the reply had been sent 10 VlcerOy
Alexieff, and on February vicerOy Alexiefr
telegraphed that he had received it. At p. m
on February DIR. KurinO gave TO Count Lams-
dorff two notes, announcing the severing Of
diplomatic relations and his own departure
from St. Petersburg on February 10. On the
same day the Russian government Informed its
ENJOYS abroad OF this severance Of relations
and directed its envoy at Toxic, Baron Rosen,
TO prepare TO leave that place at once. On
February s the Japanese began hOstilities on
February 10 both governments made formal
prOclamations of war. and Mr. KuriLo left St.
Petersburg, and on February IL Baron ROsen
left Toxic.
The beginning Of hostIlities before the formal
declaration Of war is not an uncommon thing
1t is the usual thing. In the case OF our own
recent war with Spain, the Presidents procIa-
nation was issued on April 25, announcing that
war had begun four days before. The state
ment Of a Minister that his government does
not expect or intend TO begin war before GER
tain date is, of course, not to be taken as an
immutable pledge since the action of the Op-
posing power may force the hand Of the govern
ment at any moment and compel 1t to begin
fighting before IT meant 20 do so. The real ques-
ton seems 10 be, therefore, only the old one
whether Russia's correlation Of diplomatic delay
and military aggression justified Japan in strik-
Ing when she did. To that question the world
has pretty generally given fits answer.

CIVILIZATION ON TIE zAMBEsI.

The heart Of the African wilderness shames
some Of the capitals of the world. A fortnight
ago the two halves of the Zambesi railway
bridge were successfully Joined, and the stu
pendous gorge was spanned. AS an engineering
achievement the incident was Of great interest
From the point of view of the lover of natural
scenery it was Of equal interest. A modern rail-
road bridge over the Zambesi just below the Vic
tOria Falls was something to be regarded with
apprehension. What would, or what might not,
be its effect upon that most magnificent cataract
scenery Of the world? Would it mar and dishg-
ure it? We can imagine the answer some engi-
neers notably some American engineers. would
have made TO such questions They would have
said that the completion of the Cape-tO-Cairo
railroad was OF vastly more Importance than
any natural scenery away of there in the Afrl-
can wilderness; that there were trees enough in
those forests to spare the scores or thousands
which IL might be convenient 10 destroy and
that the gorge must be spanned, regardless Of
any aesthetic nonsense.
The successors OF Cecil Rhodes, however,
thought differently. They meant TO have the
railroad and the bridge. But they regarded the
worlds greatest cataract and the glorious wild
wood about it as a precious Inheritance Of the
human race, which It would be treason and sac
rilege TO mar Therefore, the most rigid orders
were issued that If possible not single tree was
10 De destroyed or even Uullaleu; Inat the
whole bridge was 10 be designed with a view to
being as little obtrusive and as harmonious With
its surroundings as possible; that the permanent
houses erected there were 10 be designed with
artistic taste, and that the whole work was TO
be done under the best obtainable landscape
gardening supervision. II is reported that these
orders have been scrupulOusly and successfully
Obeyed. and that the whole region around the
falls is being protected and preserved in its ma
tive state as a permanent wilderness park. So
respectfully and reverently has the mid-Afrcan
wilderness been dealt with, thousands OF miles
from our higher civilization
Wendell Phillips once said that when he heard
and saw a negro singing in a fashionable church
choir, he knew he was three thousand miles
from Boston. Any one learning how the Fam
besi bridge has been constructed needs 10 other
reminder to assure him that the Victoria Falls
are several thousand miles from New York.
They are long way from the place where it is
seriously proposed TO drain Niagara Falls dry
and where legislative majority is said to have

sEoxEE7cAEr TESTS OF TURBINES.

The Virginian the second turbine steamship
built fOP the Transatlantic merchant service
nnished her maiden voyage last Friday, reach
ing Halifax from MOville in a little more than
SIX and half days. She made a better record
sw speed than her sister ship the Victorian,
which preceded her by a fortnight Although
no heavy weather was encountered, the pioneer
vessel averaged only 1874 knots, whereas the
virginian averaged ISL. If allowance be made
for detenf1On by storms and fog, it is said that
fhs latter should be credited with making 15.7
Knots an hour. Rarely does a steamship show
che best pace Of which she is capable until after
Ene has made three or four trips. In spite Of
ffe nicest adjustments Of her shaft bearings,
q little wear IS usually required 10 permit the
engines 90 do their best. Temporary trouble is
sometimes experienced with new boilers, too,
go that they are unable 20 generate as much
steam as they are designed to furnish. It is
said that the Yictorian's boilers suffered awhile

For these and other reasons, therefore, the re-
cent additions 10 the Allan Line may be ex-
pected 20 develop nearly Il knots regularly a
few weeks hence. On their trials they both
made short runs at 1872 or % knots, though
they are not designed long to maintain such a
speed.
Compared with some OF the swift liners which
have been coming TO New-York for several
years, these two ships VIII not appear to the
uninitiated 20 De at all remarkable. They are,
nevertheless One Of them, the Virginian, has
already crossed the ocean more quickly than
the older ships Of the same company, and the
other win soon do equally we'll Though smaller
than the monster Baltic, Of the White Star Line,
they are practically her equals in speed. Just
now ii must be remembered that the fancy OF
steamship owners is turning toward economy
and the comfort OF the passengers rather than
record breaking performances. The engines OF
the Deutschland were designed 10 develop &c.
900 horsepower those OF the Kaiser Wilhelm II
4oO00, and the Tirginians only 1900. In order
10 travel at the rate OF 23lk knots therefore, the
two vessels first named must burn at least three
times as much coal as the vessel which has just
arrived at Halifax; and IL is doubtful if they
can carry a dozen more passengers or a ton
more az freight. II Is not unlikely that a slight
saving in fuel viii be effected by the adoption
Of the turbine type Of engine. but for the pres
ent that possibility may be ignored.

DURABILITY OF WARsHIps

Some comment is provoked by the Circum-
stance that the British Admiralty, in its reOr-
ganizatiOn of the navy, is getting rid Of lot
of ships which are no longer regarded as eff
cient, and has actually sold thrty-one Of them
for mere fractions of their original cost. The
chronic objectors to reasonable equipments for
national defence affect to see in this a crushing
condemnation of the whole naval policy. IL is a
mOnstrOus thing, they say, to spend millions Of
dollars in building ships which score of years
hence may have TO be sent to the junk yard or
sold for per cent of their cost, and it is some
thing which nobody actuated by sound business
principles should tolerate for a moment
The fact is that such discarding of obsolete
ships is the application of sound business meth

in this city had been In use only few years
when they were torn up and transformed into

IN court In regard TO the operations Of the
theatrical syndicate there have been an impa-
uence OF contradiction and a severity Of atti-

Witch Hazel Company's case, also the language

The lawyers who represent the plaintiffs and
the people in these examinations show much
pertinacity and ingenuity in seeking to elicit
