The district has been the scene of local disturbances for a long time, owing to the provocative conduct of the Cossacks toward the 25.000 Chinese employed <in the con struction of the Russo-Manchurian Railroad.

The Amur military district was mo- ! hilizod a fortnight ago on a wai'vToot ing and it is believed the Russian fortes there arc 50,000 -men and 112 guns. The Governor General has now ordered the troops on the frontier to form a cordeni. The Russian papera demand severe retribution for Chinese audacity in Manchuria^ but they holu to the view that Russia must peise verc in her resolution to avoid war. .The Chinese minister in St. Peters burg has disavowed the events in Manchuria on behalf of his govern went and has promised to make ? serious representations to Pekin re- i garding-the consequences that will follow; If the hostilities there do not. cease."

"Ko ' part of the premium money is retained by life society* on any account or pretext whatever." The management seeks to encourage tho exhibition of only such animals aud products as are really meritorious and are of utility and profit to the poo. j pie of the State. This is the one great object of the Fair, and the society is j imbued with an ambition to add a new ; /.est and a new dignity to agricultural and mechanical pursuits and secure in creased influence and greater remuner- j at ion to those engaged In them. Tho premium list ha,s been carefully revised, and the society wishes to cai, j attention to tho inducements offered that will certainly attract the best ex- j hlblts that can be jdiownjhi every class. ! The achievements of the State Agrl- j cultural and Mechanical Society in pro. j moling the development of agriculture and its allied industries have never been fully appreciated even by Its best 1 friends; its possibilities ?>r future use fulness in suggesting and disseminat ing ideas that will materlaliac in im prosed crops, live stock and farm prac tice cannot be overestimated. Tffu unmindful of the entertainment, of its patrons, the management is en deavoring lo secure a number of new and novel attractions that will both in struct and amuse.
