IN THE FAR EAST
OUTLOOK THERE SAID TO BE
LESS HOPEFUL.
JAPANESE LANDING AN ARMY
Russian Does Not Regard Situation
Serious Enough for Hostile Action
—Talk of China Going to War Re
garded as Absured.
ST. PETERSBURG—Reports of an
a'arming nature of the situation there
continue to jtour out of the far east.
These include the states meats that the
Japanese are landing an army at Ma
Sam-Pho, Corea, and that 3.000 Rus
sian troops are crossing the Yalue
river. The reported dispatch of Chi
nese army of soldiers trained by Eur
opqean officers beyond the great wall
to preserve order in Manchuria cannot
be confirmed here and the reports of
the Japanese at Ma-Sam-Pho and the
Russians at the Yalue are discredited
at the foreign offices here and by M.
Kurino, the Japanese minister to Rus
flirt
M. Hartwig, a departmental chief of
of the Russian foreign office, spoke
feelingly to M. Ktirlno regarding Ihe
liarin being done by often utterly base
less report-;. While the Russian gov
ernment understands the situation in
Corea to be disturbed and possibly
threatening, it has not information of
a situation grave enough to warrant
the landing of a large Japanese army
there.
Russia freely admits Japan's right,
under existing conditions, to land in
Corea a reasonable number of soldiers
to preserve order, but the landing of
an army at this stage of the negotia
tions eould not be viewed with
equanimity. M. Kurino is in no way
anxious because of the delay in Rus
sia's response to the latest Japanese
note and says that Japan is not press
ing for an immediate reply.
"Russia will bo given all the time
she needs." the minister is nuoted ns
saving. The statement published by
the Novoe Vremya that because Rus
sia desired peace she cannot surrender
all, coinrides with the distinct impres
sion gathered by the correspondent of
the Associated Press at the foreign of
fice that Russia will continue to main
tain that the question of sovereignty
of Manchuria is solely a matter be
tween Russia and China.
The Svjet. and the St. Petersburg
Listoe have raised an outcry over the
reported sending of Chinese troops to
Manchuria, and the latter newspaper
declares that if it is true that these
troops go with the purpose of threat
ening the railroads between Port Ar
thur and Vladivostoek, it means war
with China and not with Japan. In
an interview, Soo Wei-Teh, the Chi
nese minister to Russia, is quoted as
saying:
“The talk of China going to war
with anyone is absurd. We have no
Intention of fighting. If Chinese troops
are being sent north it is solely for the
purpose of inspiring confidence In our
people, who are alarmed and who
would become panic-stricken in the
event of hostilities between Russia and
Japan. Personally, l have no knowl
edge of this reported movement, but
the fact of it would not necessarily
be communicated to me."
FIRE CHIEF MUSHAM REPORTS
Blames Management and Builders for
Iroquois Fire.
CHICAGO, III.—Upon the manage
ment and builders of the Iroquois
theater has been placed the responsi
bility for the fire horror, in a report
rendered to Mayor Harrison by Fire
Chief Mttsham. The report is prepar
ed by Fulkerson after examination of
nearly 100 witnesses in the days im
mediately following the fire.
No criticism is made of the build
ing department, although seven viola
tions of the building ordinances are
noted. Attorney Fulkerson concludes
that tho theater building was not com
pleted at the time it was opened:
that the theater employes did what
they eould to put the fire out, and
that the doors were generally locked
throughout the building.

THE PANAMA TREATY.
Discussion Will Be Continued in Sen
ate This Week.
WASHINGTON.—The senate has
i no program for the week beyond a
| continuation of the debate on the Pan
i ama question. The fact that the Gor
1 rnon resolution of inquiry was dis
posed of last week does not change
the situation, except thar it makes
necessary a new basis for speeches.
This will be supplied in the resolu
tion of inquiry to be introduced Mon
day as the result of Saturday's confer
ence of democratic senators. A num
ber of addresses are still to be nvade
on both sides of the controversy, and
it. is quite certain that the debate will
continue for many days. It is well
understood on both sides of the cham
ber that in reality the treaty and not
any particular resolution is being dis
cussed. the reason feeing that the
treaty itself could not lie discussed
in open session, whereas the resolu
tion can he. The democrats prefer
an open discussion of the question and
the republicans, as a matter of policy,
and in the interest of the expedition
to the vote on the treaty, have nor
objected. When it becomes appnrcnt
that the discussion in open session
is exhausted, executive sessions will
be ordered and the debate wdtll pro
ceed behind closed doors.
It is quite well understood that the
amendments to the treaty reported by
the committee on foreign relations
will he withdrawn before final action
is taken.
COLD MADDENS AN ELEPHANT.

ing to an animal show which had

day almost killed its keeper. Conrad
Castens. and partially wrecked the
Milwaukee freight house. Many of the
attendants had narrow escapes from
serious injury. Castens then went to
the animal's head and attempted to
pacify it. but the beast threw him
to the ground and planted his foot
upon him. crushing in his ribs and. it
Is believed, fatally injuring him. The
brute then seized heavy articles of
freight in the sheds and began toss
ing them about promiscuously, doing
considerable damage. After laboring
for nine hours attendants quieted the
animal.

IRRIGATION COMPANY LOSES.
County Has Right to Fx Rate for
Water.
WASHINGTON. D. C.—The decis
ion of the circuit court of the United
Slates for the northern district of Cali
fornia in the case of the county of
Stanislaus against the San Joaquin &
Kings River Canal and Irrigation com
pany was reserved in the supreme
court Monday.
The case involved the validity of
the laws of California permitting the
county authorities to fix the rate to
be charged by the irrigation company
for water. The company claimed the
rate the comity fixed was loo low and
that the laws prior to 188.", under
which the company was organized,
were equivalent to a contract, permit
ting the company to fix its own rate.
The circuit court accepted this view
and decided that the act of 1885 could
not bo invoked to impair the contract.

sons were killed and more than 100
injured. Every business house, with
the exception of a small durg store,

hundreds of feet from their beds in
the blacknes of the night. Through
terror, a father, mother and three
children fled from their home to seek
refuge and in their excitement left
a 5-year-old boy in bed. Later he was
pulled from beneath some timber and
tints far it is impossible to And any
other member of the family. Bedding,
carpets nnd wearing apparel are scat

through what was a forest, hut which
is now as clear as if cut by the
woodman's axe.
Freight cars were blown to splin
ters, the trucks trom them being
hurled hundreds of feet from the
track. The depot, the hotel, ware
house, gins, thirty homes, live store
houses, together wtih the stocks, were
completely destroyed. Where they

their hinges, were carried away by
the force of the wind.

EXPRESS HELD UP
TRAIN ROBBERS LOOT THE SUN
SET LIMITED.
DISPLAY RED DANGER SIGNAL
Trainmen are Overpowered and Ex
press Car is Forced Open—Officials
Assert that Amount Taken by the
Robbers ie Small.
SAN' FRANCISCO, — While the
Southern Pacific company’?) Surmet
Limited was climbing the mountains
between San Luis Obispo and San Ar
do Thursday night a Wolls-Fargo
treasure box was mysteriously ?)tol('n
out of the car by some person or per
sons. Timothy Sullivan, the messeng
er, was in another car and when he
returned he found the side door of the
express car open and the safe missing.
The robber gained entrance to the
car through the end door, the lock of
which had been forced. Sullivan at
once notified the railway officials of
the robbery and a search for the miss
ing safe resulted in finding it near
Tunnel No. 2. It had been broken
open and its contents taken, with the
exception of a valuable diamond, some
checks and other papers. The amount
of treasure that was being carried in
the sale has not been determined. The
express omciais state mat n was oniy
a lew hundred dollars, but that there
were some valuable papers.
Estimates from the scene of the
robbery place the amount as high as
$80,000. but It is thought that this
estimate is greatly exaggerated. The
express car carried two safes, one a
through safe, which ir, locked at New
Orleans, and the other a local safe.
It was the local safe that was taken.
One man is under arrest at San Luis
Obispo on suspicion, but the evidence
against hirn is only circumstantial. The
slow progress of the train would have
permitted the robbers entering the ex
press car. throwing out the safe and
jumping of? alter it without danger.
K. W. Christianson of the Pacific
department of Wells-Fargo & Co. says
that there was very little in the box
but there is a report that one package
sent from Santa Barbara was worth
about $1,500. He said that Timothy
Sullivan, the messenger in charge of
the car, was an old employe and
thoroughly reliable.
On the arrival of the train in this
city Messenger Sullivan told the story
of the robbery to Yardmaster Peretval.
He said that shortly after the train left
San Luis Obispo on its way north he
left the express car and went into the
baggage car, immediately behind it.
His helper was in a compartment of
one of the cars. The express was tem
porarily vacant, and the thieves, possi
bly hoboes who had been stealing a
ride, cut a hole in the front door and
entered. They then forced open the
side door, threw out the safe and pre
sumably jumped after it. This was an
easy matter, as the train was moving
very slowly on an up grade.
SIOUX CITY-ASHLAND LINE.
Slender Prospect of Building It This
Year.
LINCOLN, Neb.—The Journal says:
It may be said on the authority of a
Burlington man well known in Ne
braska, and now enjoying a position
where be should know when the com
pany intends building, that the Sioux
City line, projected to run from Ash
land to a connection with the Great
Northern in Iowa, may not be built
this coming season.
The tightness of the money market
in the east may prevent tne building
of many lines in the west, notwith
standing the business of the west
warrants extensions, connecting lines
and improvements. Notwithstanding
the present outlook, Sioux City is
moving in the matter to induce Jim
Hill to build the lino at once, and it
reports from her business men's com
mittee are not too highly colored

success.

1 Measure Passed in House by Rising
Vote.
1 WASHINGTON.—The house passed
jthe Hepburn pure tood bill Wednesday
; on n rising vote, 201 to <>S, its oppon
ents being unable to secure a roll cal!.
| The amendment inserting the word
I "wilful.'’ with reference to persons
{who sell adulterated or misbranded
! goods and which would have compell
ed the government to prove intent to
violate the law by the venders, was
stricken out on a yea and nr.y vote in
I the house. Several attempts were
! made to amend the bill, but no mater
ial changes were made.
The bill fixes the standard of foods
and drugs as to their purity, strength
and character, and defines who shall
'lie considered adulterations or mis
: branding of foods and drugs. It also
prohibits interstate commerce, impor
tation and exportation of such mis
branded or adulterated scope of the
bureau of chemistry to Include the
bureau of foods and impose upon it
the duty of performing all chemical
work for the other executive depart
ments. This bureau wil be charged
with the duty of inspecting food and
drug products which belong to Inter
state or foreign commerce. The secre
tary of commerce is given authority to
employ such chemists, inspectors,
i clerks and laborers as mav be neees
; sary for the enforcement of the act.
One section of the bill provides pen
alties for the introduction ot adulter
i ated or misbranded foods or drinks
1 and another section requires the sec
I retary of agriculture to prescribe
1 rules and regulations to govern the
[ bureau of chemistry and foods in ex
aminations of articles required to lie

of the law shall be reported by the
secretary of agriculture to the proper

As soon as the bill was reported to
the house Mr. Hepburn moved an
amendment eliminating the amend
ment offered yesterday on motion of
Mr. Stephens, dem. (Tex.), which
made it necessary to show “wilful" in
tent on the part of persons prosecuted.
Mr. Hepburn said that with the Steph
ens amendment in the bill it would
be entirely inefficacious as a law. The
Hepburn amendment was agreed to
by a vote of 145 to 120. The bill then
was passed by a rising vote of 201 to
08, the yeas and nays being refused.
