THE EAR EASTERN QUESTION.

The Novoe Vremya of st. Petersburg
in a leading article yesterday expresses
great expectations from the Russo-Japa-
nese convention. The Vremya con-
sders it as a foundation for durable
peace in the far east, serving as barrier
against encroachment OF outsiders in
that sphere, adding that Russo-Japa-
nese neighborly relations relieve Russia
and Japan Of the burden OF heavy arma-
ments, enabling Russia to complete the
Amur Railroad and continue coloniza-
ton on vast scale
The Vremya declares that the situa-
ton created by the convention is un-
favorable to Korea, China, America and
the Central European powers, in so far
as their policies are based on a continual
ton of misunderstanding between
Russia, China and Japan. 1t declares
that Secretary Knox's Manchurian pro-
poSal was instrumental in Fastening the
conclusion OF the convention. 1t
aScribes to the same cause the insertion
of the clause for joint action OF the con-
tracing powers toward propositions dis
turbing the status quo.
The Vremya recalls that Mr.. Knox
entered into the preliminary negotia-
tions regarding the Aigum Railroad
without Russia's knowledge and obtain
ed Japan's theoretical consent, which
was embarrassing to Russia.

that 81 $50 which he had saved be
forwarded to the Holy land, to the
'Sorrowful Mother and Blessed Vir-
gin Church, erected 1,500 years ago

that he had long desired that all his
worldly goods shall be left in the
last footsteps of Our Divine Lord on
His last journey while yet in the
flesh and blood. As a writer Mr..
Dale was once well known in Pitts
burg for his intimate acquaintance
with the steel industry and its leaders,
including Andrew Carnegie.
