THE TENSION RELIEVED.
Japan Feels Better After Frances
Notice 10 Russians at kamranh.

Toxic, April 23.-The announcement
that in responce to Japan's representa-
tions. France has promised the expul-
sion Of the Russian Second Pacific
Squadron from Kamranh bay and af-
fImed her determination to maintain
neutrality is received here with pleas
ure and has relieved the tension of
popular feeling. although it is believed
that if Rojestvensky entered Kamranh
bay for the purpose of finally prepar-
ing for dash north, the purpose was
accomplished before he was ordered
To leave. There is also a suspicion
that Rojestvensky may simply make
techinal removal from French ter
ritorial waters by going outside the g.
mile limit. Hence the incident will re-
main unclosed until the Russians de-
art from Indo-Chinese waters.

The French government, upon re-
ceipts Of the report that the Baltic
Squadron had arrived at Kamranh bay
Instructed the governor general of In
do-China to strictly enforce the rules
Of French neutrality. Subsequently,
the Japanese government lodged a pro-
test with France, and the French gov

t1ons to the governor general for trans

to leave French territorial waters as

A CRITICAL MOMENT.

ST. Petersburg. April 23--1125 p. NJ
Not only the future of the war in tn
far Last, but the fate of the whole
program of internal reform to which
Emperor Nicholas stands committed
appears to await the issue of the an
preaching sea battle between Roiest
vensky and Togo. The government nm
doubtedly would be greatly strengthen
ed. at least for the moment, by a vic
tory decisive enough 70 change the war
sltua ton. The Liberals are impatient at
the delay and suspicious of every move
OF the government. They are convinced
that if victory comes to the Bureaucra-
cy. to which the realization of reforms
mas been consigned by the Emperor.
they will be able despite the clamor
throughout the country, to keep the exc
cution of these reforms in their hands.
which, of course, in their opinion would
mean their eventual dissipation in u
labrynth of endless commissions. More
over. they believe that the Emperor
might again be persuaded to listen to
the necessity of the old style or repres-
sion Of the present agitation.
Practically the interior administra-
ton is being conducted through a police
regime. Already there are everywhere
evidences of return to the Won Plehyn
methods. DOmciliary visits and arrests
by scores and hundreds are reported in
every part Of the Empire, and meetings
of all classes of people are forbidden
and broken up by the police under the
direction Of the local governors. Even
zemstvc meetings at Vladimir. Eliza
bethpol Orel. Tihis and Livadia have
been closed. OF course the government
properly argues that it cannot fold its
arms and see the flames Of revolution

teriling the cOnStitutionalists and in
teliisents' as lunatics. Russia has sud-

SAYS the Grashdanin. "and unless mad
people are locked up and placed out of
harm's way there is no predicting
where all this idiocy will end"
Should Rojestvensky be defeated. on
the contrary. the Liberals believe that
the Bureaucracy will capitulate and
that peace and a constitution would
come.
In the meantime, The Faster holidays
and May day are awaited with extreme
anxiety both by the authorities and the
public. The Social Democrats and Revo-
lutionaries have planned demonstra-
tons on an extensive scale and un-

with revolvers and bombs which have
been smuggled into the country to fight

CONCORD AFTER IT.
Granite Men There Want the Senatorial
Building Contract.

Concord, N. I'll, July 81. For a Sec

the granite manufacturers and workmen
of this city are on the anxious seat,
intently awaiting the result Of the new
filing of bids for the construction OF
the senatorial building at Washington.
The matter means more to the business
welfare Of Concord than anything that
has been undertaken BY Concord manu-
facturers in any line, since the Con-
cord granite men successfully competed
for the congressional library
In the new senatorial building ST.
100000 worth Of granite will be used,
and the chances are largely in favor of
the Concord being selected The date
Tor filing bids with the committee closed
some time ago, and it was understood
unofTciaIly that the Concord manufac-
turers were about $4,000 under the
other competitors in similar granite.
There was some reason, however, for
looking into the proposal to build with
marble, and bids were called for again,

Saturday night Some news regarding
the matter will probably be received
here this week, and all Of the granite
men, both employees and employers, are
anxiously awaiting the result.

She told Sheriff Wilson that her name

IT was from the woman that the
sheriff learned the names of the two
men at large. One is called Reed and
the other Brockway. She is not sure
Of the first names but says one is known
as Bill Ross, the dead man, and was
her particular friend. He got acquainted
with her and took her into the noun

Legacy to Queen City Park Spiritualists
From DR.. Smith

Burlington, July 31.-At the opening
meeting Of the 25th annual session oi
the Spiritualist camp-meeting at Queen
City Park yesterday Vice President Hub.
bard paid d tribute to the late DIR. Il. A.
Smith of Brandon who had remembered
the association in his will.
DR.. Smith made the final bequest to
the Queen City Park interests in a codi-
ell to his will dated October s, 1902. BY
the eodicil DIR. Smith bequeathed his lots
at the park together with his cottage
and all OF bis stock in the Queen City
Park association which included be.
tween 26 and so Of the 50 shares Of that
organization, to the Queen City Park
association, stipulating that the entire
income ana profits from such property
shall be devoted to the advancement Of
tile cause Of spiritualism at Queen City
park
The instrument states that the pro-
visions made for the Advancement of the
cause Of spiritualism are to BE preferred
over all special legacies and shall in no
way be diminished or invaded for the
purpose Of paying any special ,egsties.
This action on the part of DR.. Smith will
doubtless be the means of adjusting
amicably a controversy which had been
waged and with more OF less bitterness
and hard feeling By two factions Of
stockholders for several years.

Washington, July 3t.--Japan comes

that whatever her peace terms they will

Japan has been satisfied that Russia's

more than discuss means of ending the

might favor an arTnistiee, but even IN
such an event, it is said. she would not

As understood in Washington, Lord
Lansdowne's position Is that as the
loyal ally Of Japan Great Britain can
afford to take no step, or assume any
attitude that would, IN the remotest
degree, rebound to the advantage Of
Japans enemy. However much London
