SOME JAPANESE DEMANDS.

Concerning the Japanese demand for the opening to traffic of the Amur, Sun gari, and Nonni rivers, Dr. Morrison, the well-known correspondent of the London Times in Pekin, says that Rus sians denounce the proposals as un- reasonable, because the Amur river for 626 miles from the mouth to Khabarov- ka passes through Russian territory. They point out that the rights to nayi- gate the Sungari and Amur given by the treaties of 1857 and 1881 are reserv- ed for Russian and Chinese vessels. while the Nonni was not known to be naviga.ble and was not mentioned. They contend that such rights, granted long before the Portsmouth treaty, are not modified by an undertaking giveh at Portsmouth. They argue that the Rus sian denial then of any exclusive con- sessions referred to unpublished en- agreements and not to treaty rights with China known to all the world. They contend, moreover, that the Amur and Sungari engagements are recip- rocal between two neighboring States, Chinese vessels having the right to navigate the Russian Amur,

TOTE TO-DAY AND TOTE EARLY.

It is the duty of every citizen to vote when voting day comes. It is the only way most citizens have of expressing their opinions concerning public mat ters in a way that will do any good Don't miss the opportunity of exercis- ing your grandest right and privilege to-day. The Republicans are confident of sweeping the Democratic candidates back into the oblivion from which they sprung, but no Republican should allow his confidence to make him lazy or in different Vote.
 Vote early, because then you will have the job off your mind and can give the rest of the day to work with out forgetting, or neglecting, to vote. Early voting is also a help to the workers at the polls, who are enabled by it to do their work more thoroughly and effectively.
 The indications are for good Repub- lican weather and good Republican pluralities.

MUCH MORE GocD LAND

This good and fiourishing country isn't yet developed" or anywhere near it. For some time the work of making dry land wet enough to be good farm ing land has been carried on. Now it Is proposed to reclaim the sixty million acres of swamp lands and the Geologi- cal Survey Is making an inquiry by au- thority of congress. The cost of this work will be much less than that of irrigation, and the work will pay for it. self.
 The investigation of the Geological Survey was begun in Minnesota on lands ceded by the Chippewa Indians. The region is land of swamps, some of which approach in depth and area the importance of lakes. The tract ag- gregates about 9,5OO,OOO acres, which have been held by the government for allotment to homesteaders at $1.25 an acre in the same way as any other public lands. Some of the land has been drained by homesteaders and is productive of good crops. The Minne- sota lands can be reclaimed at a cost of $1.25 to $1.5O an acre. Adding this to the price at which the land can now be obtained by homesteaders, all this section could be put on the market at less than $3 an acre.
 Sixty million acres of land that can be reclaimed is national asset worth vastly more than the national debt, and this asset will be developed and these sixty million acres given to the people.

THE HIGHER CRITICISM

The higher criticism" isn't as much in the public eye just now as it has sometimes been, but the American Bi- ble League keeps an eye on it. It was discussed at meeting of the Chicago branch of the League the other day After reaching the general conclusion that the universities and colleges of the country are insidiously spreading the blight of higher criticism throughout the nation, and that the sons and daughters of believers are having their ideas of the authenticity of the Bible distorted through those agencies, the delegates discussed the best method of battling the peril as they termed it. Publicity was declared by many speak CTS to be the strongest weapon of de- fence in the conflict. One speaker, who characterized the question as the greatest religious upheaval of the pres ent day." said that "upon what is tc be done by Christian men and women in combating this steadily growing thing depends the victory of the prime doctrines of Christianity"
 Of course the higher critics" wont be disturbed by this. They think they know, and that is enough for them. But perhaps in the end the Bible wont be entirely torn to pieces.

Dr. Morrison recalls the fact that when the proposals to open the Amur t1 interna' tional shipping were considered in Ja- pan as one of the conditions of peace they were rejected on the ground that the Japanese could not endure the opening of a river which for so many hundreds of miles flowed through Rus sian territory. ,.

The Better Part.

c. X Merriman said at Cape ToWn that 1t was much better to look after. a child's poetical education than it's health.)
 Come, curly headed son Of mine, Put down that childish pail and And will teach thee, line by line. How limpid poesy is made. Cease building castles on the beach, And learn Olympian heights to reach What boots it that thy checks be
 tanned
 To chestnut by Apollo's rays If thou join not Apollo's band With villanelles and virelays? Feet never were, my little man, Designed to paddle, but to scan. Waste not thy time In exercise,
 Which makes thy muscles hard and
 tense,
 But strive thy thoughts to advertise In bursts of rhythmic eloquence. One soulful sonnet's worth far more Than any century you score. Then. though 1t be not thine to make Runs at the Oval or at Lords, Thou shalt the world with music wake And lounge upon Parnassian swards For, though thy health my be amiss, Thou'lt learn to turn out stuff like this!

Shop assistants" and clerks in retail and wholesale houses and similar es- tablishments in England often endure great hardships on account of the sur vival of the medieval '1iying-in' rules, by which they eat, sleep and work all under the same roof A determined ef- fort is now being made to do away with the evils of the system. An employer boards and feeds a staff of 500 assist ants. He decides to reduce the cost of breakfast to the extent of one penny a head per diem This economy in house. keeping gives him an additional profit of $S, 500 a year on the cheeseparing of one meal alone. The unfortunate as- sistant. ''who can leave it if he doesn't like the food provided" must deplete his meagre wage to buy extra food to satisfy hunger, or to tempt the palate to swallow the unappetizing fare pro- vided by the firm.

There is no safe rule for the construction of chimneys. You car build a chimney all right in theory, but when it comes down to practice that is another matter. Build two ehimneys side by side in precisely the same man. ner. Employ the best skilled labor and construct them exactly on the same principles.

Con- sul Halstead Birmingham thinks the success of this experiment will bring down railroad freight rates In the Unit ed Kingdom and be of benefit in other ways. He sees no reason why it should not succeed. Roads are almost uni versally good,' he writes; distances are not great; motor construction is improving and the output increasing; while rates for carriage should remain low because the highways are free"

The school teachers of the Canton Vaud in Switzerland, protested against being, cenpelied to give religious in struction of any kind not according with their own beliefs. The State gov- ernment at once granted a request so closely associated with religious liber- ty, but docked the pay for the number of hours so deducted from work. This stified resistance, but not discontent. Teachers found it easier 10 give a per- functory instruction than to lose their pay, but at length it came to be recog- .nized that the arrangement was unsat- isfactory and so the teachers were al- lowed to work off the hour at other times Religious instruction is also to be given outside the hours of obligatory attendance.

M~IppLEIowN, MY. March 2l.-James C..
Sykes OF, Syracuse, who has been a patient
at the Middletown State Hospital for some
time past, was on Tuesday ordered dis
charged from the institution. Some time
age Sykes wrote a letter to Justice Keogh
at White Plains complaining that he was
being unjustly detained at the State Hos
pital and asking the Justice to order his
discharge.
The letter impressed Justice Keogh to
such an extent that he issued an order to
have Sykes brought before him at a special
term to be held several weeks later. At
this time a hearing was had and Justice
KeoNh decided to have Sykes's case con-
sidered by a Sheriff's Jury.
Testimony was taken in the case oil Tues
day and the jury, which was composed Of
fifteen men, decided that Sykes should be
released, and he was accordingly d~ischarg-
ed at once, although letters were read from
members Of his family saying that under
no circumstances should he be allowed to
return to his home.
Previous TO his mental trouble Sykes

LONDON, March 21.-A young officer Of
one of the Guards regiments at Aldershot
is now under a physi clans care in London,
his nervous system being completely broken
down as the result Of hazing. He is not
rich and he declared that he could not meet
the usual regimental subscriptions. Conse-
quently he frequently absented himself
from the company Of the other officers and
kept to his own rooms.
His fellow officers resented this, and to
show their dfsapproval they stripped him,
smeared him with motor oil, covered him
with feathers and plastercd his hair with
jam. He escaped to his room, in which he
barricaded himself. His tormentors
smashed down the door, whereupon the
victim leaped from a window and sought
refuge in a hotel.
The other officers could not find him.
through they sought him, and he was re-
ported to his superiors as being absent
without leave. His physician has tele-
graphed to the Colonel Of the regiment that
the young officer is seriously i'll.
The Secretary of State for War, Mr..
Haldane. has been informed Of the affair
and has ordered an inquiry.

FOUND PIECE or .AMBERGRrs.
Chunk Worth 84O Picked Up by a Sandy
Hook Life Saver.

Thomas Gaskill, belonging to the crew
of the Sandy Hook life saving station,
was patrolling the beach yesterday morn
ing in company with his dog, Troy, when
he noticed the dog making a fuss near the
waters edge. Gaskill went to the place
and picked up a small piece OF what at
first seemed to be pumice stone, put
it in his pocket and took it home. There
he looked in his dictionary and found
that it co%rresponded with the description
of ambergris, being spongy, light of weight,
looking like marble, but having an aroma.
He submitted a piece to the Government
chemists at the Hook proving ground
laboratory. who found that 1t came up to
all the tests required for ambergris, but
not having seen any before they did not
like to give a certificate. The aroma from
q very small piece under test filled the
laboratory.
The whole piece weighs only a little over
two ounce, but is worth over $40. There
is no record of any having been found in
this part Of the country before.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 21.-The discon-
tent among the sailors and soldiers at
Sevastopol has been so acute lately that
the authorities have disarmed all the war
ships there except the Panteleimon, for
merly the Kniaz Potemkin Tavritchesky,
whose crew threatened a fortnight ago TO
destroy the town if Lieut.. Schmidt, the
leader of the Black Sea revolt. were exc
cuted. They refused to allow the authori-
ties to remove the ships guns. The officials,
however, confined the crew aboard the
ship.
The Bielstock infantry regiment is locked
in its barracks. A general outbreak at
Sevastopol is possible at any moment.

BERLIN, March 21.-The case Of a bank
clerk of the name Of Brinke. who under
the most extraordinary circumstance
shot and killed two beautiful sister named
Haars, aged % and 20 years, on October
II, 1905, was tried in Brunswick to-day.
Brunke was found guilty and sentenced to
eight years simple imprisonment.
According to the evidence the prisoner
is a type of German degenerate, corrupted
by decadent and pessimistic literature,
leading to m~egalomania and contempt Of
life. The evidence of the prisoner was re-
markable. He said he was ar enthusiastic
student Of Kant. Schopenhauer. Spinosa,
Nietzsche and Ibsen. He regarded suicide
as allowable and even desirable. He had
written three plays, one called "The Ec-
centric" in which he delineated his own
character and career.
The prison doctors stated that Brunke
was sane, but as the Crown Prosecutor only
demanded nine years and a half imprison-
ment he apparently WAS of the opinion that
Brunke's mind was unbalanced.
Brunke thrilled a packed court by calmly
describing his shooting of the sisters as
they sat side by side in armchairs. Tn
shooting, he declared. was done at their
instigation and with their full consent.
The mother Of the girls committed
suicide through grief after they were killed.
