dose of bad schedules by the Atlantic

now in effect here is quite satisfactory
to the traveling public other cities

ALBANY MAKES A BIG KICK
T. P. A. of That City Expects to Take

The following from the Albany Her

| One of the first matters which will
receive the attention of the Albany

pointed out, agrees with those who

One reason why the British alarm

Great Britain was planning to occupy,

ut this time excites both admiration,
ana rage, the former for the clever
political movement, tho latter because
Russia is so pro-occupied in the Far
East that she is unable to prevent
Great Britain ir in creating her own
Manchuria in the Yang Tse province.
It is ; . aoi c. .i here that the pres

the same advantage as actual war be

pointed out that had Russia replied
immediately unfavorable deductions
might have been drawn, and although
Russia believes her proposals were ex
tremely conciliatory, containing ail

does not exclude the possibility of find

portions of the general scheme of set
