The World's London correspondent cables: "Make it perfectly clear to your master that any move or action in France outside tbe limits of the strictest neutrality will bring England into the field as Japan's ally."

Moscow, Feb. 23. Military activity is very great everywhere between Odessa and Moscow. At Vilna the activity ! quite feverish. Two heavily lars troop trains have been dispatched to Manchuria, following the trains sent a few days ago. The men are accom modated in the usual covered vans marked "For eight horses or 40 men", and with no heating arrangements. Educated Russians at Vilna express great sympathy with the men, in view of the rigorous climatic conditions be tween Vilna and Manchuria and the fact that the troops will not reach their destination short of a month. At Vilna the Times informant learned from a Russian colonel that some 500 Jewish regulars and reserves had de serted during the last three weeks. Asked if it were true that between a dozen and a score of Jewish soldiers, who had been ordered to Manchuria and deserted, had got Over the frontier to Germany with the exception of six who had been captured and immediately shot, the colonel said: "I believe several such Jews bave CASTOR I A For Inianti and Children.

CLEAR TITLE Northern Pacific Railroad Wins "Overlap" Case. VALUABLE LAND INVOLVED Over 48,000 Acres Lying North of Portland and Occupied by ' Farms and Homes. Washington, Feb. 24. Chief Jus tice Fuller Tuesday handed down a decision of tbe United States supreme court in the famous Northern Pacific "overlap" land case, giving to the rail-' way company absolute title to a tract of 48,458 acres, lying directly north of Portland, in Oregon and Washington. The supreme court affirmed the decision of the circuit court of appeals for the ninth circuit, thus terminating one of the most bitter oontests that has been before this tribunal In years. The case involved not only the rlghtB of the railroad company to this large tract of land, but the homes and farms of large numbers of settlers within tbe "overlap" limits, who acquired title to their lands from the government. It grew out of a decision rendered by Sec retary of the Interior Smith, on July 18, 1895, reversing the established rule of his department and holding that lands within the overlap limits did not pass to the railroad company UDder the grant of 1870, because at that date they were reserved under the earlier grant of 1804, to the same company. Since Secretary Smith's decision, about 11,000 acres of lands within the limits of the overlap have been patented to settlers by the Interior department, and the rights of these settlers are In volved in the decision rendered today. Under the terms of the aotof 1808, these settlers will probably be required to pay the company for their lands, or the settlors may be allowed to retain their lands without further expense, In which oveut tbe railroad company will be en titled to make lieu selections anywhere in the United States, of an area equal to what it relinquishes to those settlers.

The last time Senator Hanna called at the Whits Bouse be had a talk with President Roosevelt about the sudden uprising la the republic of Panama, and tho presi dent's part therein. "Mr. President," said Hanna, "do uot the people orltlolze what was doner in the Panama matter?" "Do not the people think 1 am a pat riotic president?" asked Roosevelt in turn. "Yes," said Hanna, "but they do not think you are a safe president." A Chicago man closely Identified, with Hanna for years In politics and business, was in Washington a few weeks before Senator Hanna died, and asked him why he did not state flatly that he would not be a candidate for the presidency and favor Roosevelt. "Because I gave my word to J. P. Morgan that I would not," Banna re plied. "Morgan came to me and asked me If I was to be a candidate for president. I told him I would not be; not that I would not like to be president If t could, but because my health would not permit me to be." " 'Do you think Mr. Roosevelt will be nominated?' Mr. Morgan asked me. " 'It looks so now,' I replied.1 ' " 'And you will not be the candidate?' '"I cannot. I want to live. It would kill me to make the campaign.'
