and thorough familiarity with interna-
tiOnaI relations in the Pacific.
The announcement of the changes may
come at any time, or it may be post
ptued for weeks or months. Nothing
like final information has been received
ma washington aside from the pretty
conclusive indications that a change will
be made
Russian poli,.- has been to change
ambassadors at important posts. such as
Tokyo and Washington, whenever the
government was ready TO make a change
of policy. Diplomatic promises in Rus
sian practice are worth just about as
much as the paper on which they are
written. they are made TO meet ext
gen-ies, not necessarily to be executed.
Policy and Envoy Change.
When an ambassador has become
thoroughly committed to one line of
policy at n given post, and cannot we'll
change it, he is withdrawn and new
men sent, VINO will not be bound BY
the personal pledges and assurances OF
his predecessor. Therefore, the prospect
of ambassador al changes at both Tokyo
and Washington gives rise to wonder
whether Russia. is getting ready for a
new shift in Pacific programs.
Admiral Evans is quoted as sa ling
that Russia is prepared for exactly
tbs; That, having raised great loan.
she is soon 20 prepare for renewal of
her struggle with Japan. on better
( terms tEan before. This may or may
not be worthy Of serious consideration.
| But &c is certain that diplomacy looks
upon the Portsmouth peace as rather
tentative, and likely to be broken
whenever Russia is ready 10 renew the
war. ON more advantageous terms.

TAX ASSESSMENT
 TO BE RE-OPENED

Gadsden, July 17-(SpeciaL)- assessor of the county has been in structed to notify the Alabama State Land company and the state tax com mission that the matter of the reduc- tion of the tax values of the land com pany in this county by the tax com mission will be reopened by the com missioners and that both of the par ties will be given a hearing before final action is taken.
 The tax commission recently re- duced the taxes of the land company in this county and a general protest was raised throughout the county on the part of other tax payers who con- sidered they were being discriminated against.
 Some of the holdings of the land company are assessed as low as Is cents an acre, while mo- other land in the county Is assessed at less than a dollar. It Is even claimed that some of the land assessed at a few cents an acre is held by fehcompany at $20 an acre when the same is sought to l be acquired by purchase.
 i The time for hearing of the matter 1 has not yet been set as it is desired 1 to accommodate the parties interested l as much as possible and they will be allowed to name the date.
