A ierioi s Breach.
The Japanese transport Kamakaru
from Port lit v.y. -January 11, with
General Sioei-sel and others aboard

Preceded by a ii w police officers, and

Half way there some dozens of Rus¬

directions and saluted in respectful j
silence. The party then entered the

The closing act of the great drama j
caused a feeling of sadness which was j
not dispelled by the glorious weather,
beautiful surroundings and kind re- !
eeptlons aeronh I to the Russians by
the Japanese.
French Are Criticized.
A Toklo special says; Tho French
are sharp’y eritici’zed for permitting
the ships of the second Pacific squad¬
ron of the Russian navy to make a
prolonged stay at Madagascar. There¬
fore, the Japanese people and press,
realizing- the peculiar position In
which France was placed, were not
disposed to judge her actions too se¬
verely, lnu The Asalii recently said:
‘ It Is no longer possibly to overlook
the Kronen non neutrality nor her dis¬
regard for the obligations of a neutral
nation. Coaling the ships of the see
ond Pacific squadron in French ports
has culminated in allowing Rear Ad¬
miral Rojestvensky to remain for 12
days, awaiting reinforcements, and j
in the use of Madagascar as a lia.se
of operations against the Japanese
Ilcvt. now reported in the Indian
ocean.
"Such action is nothing less than
as mvWfif Fa.-iHe ». *h
lIWT^ squadron ought
ago to have been sent away or
disarmed.
"Further temporizing for the pur¬
pose of rendering assistance to Rus¬
sian vessels must l>e considered a se¬
rious breach of neutrality.”

RUSSIA IS AFrER CHINA.
-
Charges Breach of Neutrality and
With Being an Open Aliy of
the Japanese.
A Paris special says; The Assjo
! ciat/fl Press learns authoritatively
' that Russia’s note addressed to the
powers relative to China's breaking
neutraIity S iveii what Russia claims to
be absolute proof of Chinese breach
03. The three main complaints are;
Hirst—That the islands of Miaotao,
In the straits of Pe-Chi-Li, opposite
J’ort. Arthur, have been constantly
used by the Japanese without Chi¬
nes.-• interfer' nee as a strategic base
and a harbor for Japanese torpedo
boats.
Second—That the Chinese army on
tho border has accepted the command
of Japanese officers.
Third—That Chinese firms have
been constantly working in behalf of
the Japanese, supplying them with
provisions, military accoutrement and
general war stores.
The note lengthily sets forth the de¬
tails and complains that China ins
no', given satisfactory explanation of
breaches of neutrality, and that there¬
fore Russia notifies the powers that
she intends to use complete liberty

A Washington dispatch says; Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, call¬
ed at the state department Friday to
talk with Secretary Hay, respecting
the formal and general protest made
by Russia against alleged violations
of neutrality by China during the
present war. Tho ambassador had
been informed by his government by
cable that the full text of the Rus¬
sian circular note or protest was now
on the way to him and he was in¬
structed* to submit it to Secretary
Hay on receipt.
Upon the first announcement of
Russian intention to file this protest,
it was apprehended here that it might
be the forerunner of some positive
action on the part of Russia, which
would vitiate the agreement, entered
into by the belligerents at the out
break of the war to restrict hostilities
to a certain well-defined area, which
undertaking was affeoted through the
United States government with the
hearty co-operation of the powers and
of China.a
5 ; wfe-g* 'WN l iii
that the action of Russia in dispatch¬
ing this note to the i>wers is intend¬
ed not to indicate immediate action
toward obliging China to remedy the
matter complained of at present, but
rather to have on file a record or a
grievance against the Chinese govern¬
ment which can be brought up for
consideration at tho conclusion of hos¬
tilities and during the negotiations
which will effect* a permanent settle¬
ment of the eastern embroglio.

Whf;n th<i Ti s er Princess was s° in s
to give up one of her old performers
because he was getting saury and pee¬

and said:
“That one is all right, but the one
over there in the corner will bear
watching.”
“Wljy, the man talks like a fcol,"
said the princess. “That’s Zulka. She
is the best actor I’ve got.”
Sterrett laughed. “Train an und -r
study,” he advised. “I’ll give Zulka
three weeks to retire from the stage.
She's going bad.”
Zulka was a very beautiful young
lioness; one of the best trick beasts
I’ve ever known and on-■ of the very
few that seemed to hav- a genuine
affection fer the trainer. As a rule
the felines don’t exhibit the softer

Two weeks after Sterrett's advice, to
which we pi^d little heed (that was

of the performance. As the Tiger
Princess enured the cage the next

and she was down. Zulka had her.
Fortunately .lome of us were near.
We beat the animals off—of course,

MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT.
A hot of Trouble. Prom To:) Much Starch
Food.
A little boy of eight years whose
| parents of did food, not feed afways him on the right and
kind was nervous
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
i taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him on Grape-Nuts twice a day.
11c rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
“He has grown to be strong, muscular,
and sleeps soundly, weighs t»2 pounds,
and his whole system is in a fine con¬
dition of health*’ - ' "Name given by
Dostum Go., Battle Creek. Mich.
It is plain that if he had been put on
Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his
life, and kept from the Use of foods
that he could not digest, be never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach anil bowels,
causing irritation ami making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, setting
up a diseased condition which is the
active cause of appendicitis, and this
is more marked with peopD who do not
properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley - ltd by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory, all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate dig s;ion
and the more perfect nourishment of
all parts of the body, particularly the
brain and nerve centres.

ONLY A BLUFF OF CZAR.
British View of the Charges Brought
Against China for Alleged Breach
of Ncu rality.
A London dispatch says: The Rus¬
sian government’s note regarding Chi
| nese neutrality has not yet reached
I the British foreign office.
In diplomatic quarters the circular
: is regarded as a move to torestall
complaints of Russian transgression
of Chinese territory coming from Ja¬
pan, but not as indicating any imme¬
diate or serious action on Russia’s
part in the near future. The very
fact that there has been no haste in
presenting the circular to Great Brit¬
ain might indicate that this is the cor
j rect view.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis¬
ter, who has not yet received official
notification of the circular, visited
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne Satur¬
day afternoon, and the Associated
Press understands that they discuss
ed the circular informally.
Minister Hayashi iyior to his visit
to Lord Lansdowne said to the Asso
dated Press:
“Tho Japanese have not, replied to
tho innumerable allegations of
breaches of neutrality and of inter
national law charged by Russia since
the war, but the Japanese government
probably , Will reply to this formal
ch arge.”
Baron Hayashi thought, however,
that it was in line with other charges
and similar to “the yellow peril”
scare. He said Great Britain, tho
United States and Germany all had as
great interests in China as Russia had
and, being well represented there,
knew from their own agents whether
it was necessary to interfere.
