CHINA IS Due

Military Demonstration.

Cars Government Announces lnten.
ton and Says Full Details viii Be
Forwarded Later - State Depart
ment Of Opinion That Arbitrary
Action ls Out Of Place In View Of
Celestial Empires Internal Trou-
blss-Msy Offer Good Offices.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Russian
government has advised the state de-
partment of Its intention to make a
military demonstration against china.
The details of the proposed move
ment have not been received. The
Russian government promises to
send further Information on the sub
ject 10 the department as soon as
possible
The causes for the w1rlike atti'
tude Of Russia are Ouly known here
in a general way. Thus far China has
not appealed to the United States
for assistance against the Russian
movement.
The attitude OF Russia has caused
some surprise in Washington, as II
is felt among officers Of the state
department that the Russian govern.
mcnt IS taking advantage OF the dis.
turbed internal conditions in China
TO force an issue over the alleged
stubborn attitude Of China in regard
TO tae pending Kusso-Chilese ques-
lions. Among some officials of the
state department Sc is thought thai
it would be more generous and mag
nanimcus on the part OF Russia to de
lay military demonstration until
China has had an opportunity to
cope with the famine and plague sit
uations. which are still in serious
stage and are causing the officials OF
the Peking government much con.
cern.
Officers of the state department
are inclined to believe that the pend
ing disputes could be arbitrated by
the Hague court with entire satisfac.
ticn 10 both governments. An appeal
TO arbitration. they explain. would be
more satisfactory in clearing up the
outstanding difficulties than a mill
tary demonstration. Usually when
threatened by a foreign government
China appeals to the United States
and Great Britain for assistance. In
the present crisis no word has been
received from Pekng. although the
Chinese side of the dispute will prob
ably be laid before the state depart
ment in the next few days.
The general expectation here is
that after full details have been oh.
tained Secretary Knox will lend his
friendly assistance OF the United
States TO China in the present crisis.
lie may go so far as to suggest to
Russia that II would be advisable to
settle her disputes with China by
submission 10 court of arbitration
rather than by military force.
1t is said there are about nine or
ten grounds of controversy between
the two governments. The principal
contention raised by Russia Is that
China has violated the treaty OF
1881 by preventing Russian mer-
chants from selling tea within the
Chinese frontiers and in refusing to
admit Russian consuls to certain
citles.

Captain Foran, who will lee

lege on Monday evening, March
20, is fond of telling how he
first met Lenana, King of the
Nasal tribe in East Africa. The
King recognized Captain Foran
as a big White Chief and treated
him with unbounded respect. At
parting after the interview Cap
tain FOran held out his hand
for the old King to shake and
to his disgust and surprise the
King spat heartily into the
palm. Captain Foran says
that he, with great difficulty,
controlled his anger and after
the hlng mad departed ne asked
the nature of this insult (as he
thought He was informed that
it was a sign that the King
recognized Captain Foran as his
equal in rank and this mode of
s%alutation was the highest pos
sible form of respect a native
King of the Nasal tribe could
pay anyone. After the Kings
departure the young men OF
the tribe came up to bid the Cap
tain farewell and butted him in
the stomach with their heads, as
a special sign of respect and ser.

Their Thirtieth Anniversary.

A delightful surprise was pre-
pared Wednesday evening for
Mr.. and Mrs. Devices by their
daughter, Miss Atha, in celebra-
ton of their thirtieth anniver-
sary.
The friends and neighbors,
numbering about fifty, came
upon them by storm, but were
received in a most hospitable
manner. Every arrangement
had been made in advance to
make the affair enjoyable.
The guests presented the
bride and groom of thirty years,
with a beautiful set Of pearl
handled knives and forks and
then called for a speech to which
the groom responded in a pleas
ing manner. The time passed
quickly in readings, conversation
and the singing of old-time love
songs.
Delicious refreshments were
served and at this time the we'd
ding cake was lighted with thirty
candles.
Favors of pink carnations were
given each guest, and they de-
parted with the wish that their
host and hostess might celebrate
their golden wedding.
