from Yokohama, indicate that Russia
is unmistakeablv revealing her inten

through its cousul at Hankow, has re

erty in the most peremptory fashion.
The Russian consul claims that the
question of tho disputed ownership of
the land has been absolutely decided in
favor of his government and lie has an
nounced his iutentioii to take forcible
possession of the property without fur

to have been extremely high handed.

VICTORIA, B. C.. Jan. ii. According
to Oriental advices there is abundant
evidence in the Japanese press of the
probability that Japan is drifting into
a war with Russia. The Japanese ap
parently do not shrink from the danger
of approaching conflict and have
placed in Kngland oriers for a large
number of suits of warm winter cloth
ing in preparation for a campaign in
Korea. It is learned from Kole that a
cruiser with a number of Japanese
troops on board recently sailed from a
Japanese port for Korea and three
transports have been chartered to carry
troops to Kobe. The following is a
samplo of Japanese journalism:
"The Japanese are convinced that to
|erinit RiAsia to occupy Korea or to
recognize Russian ascendency in North
ern China would 1H» a dead menace to
Japan's rapidly developing strength.
Japan believes her navy is strong
enough to attack Russia and the opin
ion is that the interests of the two na
tions arc so conflicting that it is impos
sible to avoid a rupture iu tiw new
future.**

There was some discussion about the

garded as unnecessary, and all the
members except Mr. Fletcher (Minn.)
voted to report the bill favorably. The

Ask your physician this ques

remedy for consumption?"
he will answer, "Cod-liver
oil." Nine out of ten will
answer the same way.
Yet when persons have
consumption they loathe all
fatty foods, yet fat is neces
sary for their recovery and
they cannot take plain cod
liver oil. The plain oil dis
turbs the stomach and takes
away the appetite. The dis
agreeable fishy odor and
taste make it almost unen
durable. What is to be done i
This question was ans
wered when we first made I
