concentrated on some subject far from
the bedevilment of Venezuela, | have
been brought to my senses by the shout
of "Quien yivaY" and had a Mauser

DC unduly sensitive. but must con-
fess that these conditions of uneasiness
and this shouting OF "Quien vivaf"

How Minister witte created DaIny.

In the first installment of the me.
moirs OF the Russian ex-minister OF war,
Gen, kuropatkin, published in the Sep
TENDER McCGre's. is surprising story
OF Russia's breach OF faith with China
in the carrying out Of the terms OF the
treaty OF 1902. Instead Of leaving Man.
churis by the spring OF 1902, as she had
agreed, Russia not only remained, but
fortified herself. General Kuropatkin
makes striking charges concerning the
part taken in this by NJ White, then
minister of finance.

patkin, our situation in the far East

ing many millions of rubles were under.
taken and carried on by virtue Of au.
thority that was wholly special. The
minister OF finance IN. Wittel was
building and managing there railroad
about two thousand versts in length; he
had the direction OF whole army corps
OF railway guards; he was trying to in
crease the economic Importance Of the
railway by running in connection with
it a fleet of sea. going steamers; he had
on the Msnchurian rivers a hotilla OF
smaller vessels, some Of which carried
guns and gunners; and in military mat
tiers, he was so independent OF the war
department that, without consulting the
latter, he even selected and purchased
abroad the artillery for the railway
guard. Nladiyostok, as a terminus, no
longer seemed to satisfy the require
ments Of an international transit line,

ince of Kwantung was subject to the
OF the provincial commander
Nj. White, without consulting either the
latter or the minister of war, located
and created therein the spacious port OF
Dalny. The enormous sums OF money
spent there only lessened the Importance
and weakened the strength OF Port Ar
thur, because it was necessary either
to fortify Dalnv, or prepare to have 1t
seized by an enemy and used as q base
Of operations against us-a thing that
afterward happened. Finally, the min
ister of finance managed the affairs Of
the Russo Chinese bank, and had at Pc.

that public Fairgrounds be established
and maintained during the winter in all
towns and cities OF the United States
lie said:
For instance, the playground slide
may be made so that the slide can be
lowered in winter and sprinkled so as
TO make an ice slide. A good toboggan
slide could be adopted for use from
slaves. A skating rink is very easy to
maintain in cold climates"
