of Trade Relations with Dominion

Chicago. With the full authorit ;
and knowledge of President Tafl
Philander Chase Knox , secretary estate
state , speaking for the president , le
it he definitely and decisivel ;
known that the idea of annexing Car
ada to the United States was one o
the things furtherest removed fror
the mind of the nation's chief execu
tive.
Reciprocal trade relations with tb <
northern neighbor of the Unltei
States are desired and demanded b ;

state in effect , / but annexation never
President Taft made Secretar :
Knox his mouthpiece in replying t <
Champ Clark , Democratic leader o
the house of representatives , for th <
letter's "one land , one flag" speed
of last Tuesday.
Secretary Knox made the positio !
of the Taft administration perfectl :
plain when he said with great em
phasls and with a measuring of ever :
word and every syllable :
"In the higher atmosphere ant
broader aspects of the situation , it i !
certain that if there should be an :
great world movement involving this
continent then Canada and the Unite <
States would , as a matter of course
act In the most perfect concert -in de
fense of the common rights of a com
mon blood and civilization. "
Again he urged his hearers to re
member "that the wisdom of , commer
cial reciprocity ought not to be ob
scured by the fear of relations toe
cordial and conceivably dangerous tc
the great Canadian loyalty to Eng
land. "
Secretary Knox and James J. Hil
espoused the cause of reclproca
trade relations with Canada before'
great gathering of Chicago business
men and business men from the mid
die west at the Hotel La Sail
Wednesday night.
The occasion was the "Reciprc
Banquet" of the Chicago Associsj
of Commerce. " What had prii
Intended to be a gathering of
mense business.interests to urge upon
congress the necessity of taking Im
mediate action on the great question
of the day , was in a manner turned
into an occasion of rejoicing because
of the action of the lower house of
congress in passing the reciprocity
measure.
James J. Hill characterized the
proposed reciprocity agreement with
Canada as a example of constructive
statesmanship ; Mr. Knox called it
the natural evolution of a neighborly
feeling between the two countries.
The speeches of both the secretary
of state and the railroad magnate
from the northwest were attentively
listened to. The banquet -was held
in the great banqueting room on the
nineteenth floor of the Hotel La
Salle. Invitations had been extended
to commercial organizations through
out the middle west.

fetersburg. Because of China's
ig violation of the St. Peters
tade treaty of 1881 , Russia
Suriday notified the governments ol
Germany , France and Great Britain
that she intended to make a military
demonstration , on the Russo-Chinesc
frontier. War seems certain between
the two powers unless China backs
dow-n from her present attitude.
Russian' troops will be sent forth
with to the district of 111. The ex
tent of the demonstration , it Is added
in the diplomatic note , will depend
entirely upon the attitude assumed
by China.
"Vital questions involved are free
trade in Mongolia , the extraterritorial
rights of Russia In China and the es
tablishment of a Russian consulate at
Keobdo , Mongolia.
There have been rumors recently of
an intention of Russia to bring pres
sure to bear upon China because of al
leged violations of the Russo-Chinese
treaty. That the situation was acute ,
however , has been denied , both by the
Chinese foreign board and the Russian
legation at Peking. It has been admit
ted that there were differences In the
Interpretations of the international
agreement as made at St. Petersburg
and at Peking. The treaty adopted
in 1881 expires this month and it has
been reported that China was not will
ing to renew it at least not until cer
tain modifications had been made.
The treaty of 1881 provided for the
re-establishment of the Chinese gov
ernment In the province of III , which
had been occupied by the Russian arm
ies since 1871. Interest In the Russo-
Chinese situation will have to do
chiefly with the attitude of the other
powers , though Russia's understand
ing with Japan and the other powers
would appear to have paved the way
for any coercive measures contem
plated against China.
Washington. The Russian govern
ment has ordered several regiments
the Russo-Chinese frontier
of troops to -
tier , according to intelligence sent to
the state department here by the Rus
sian government. *
The United States state department
will Immediately ask both countries
to submit their grievances to The
Hague tribunal and hold in abeyance
any hostile demonstrations until that
body can act This step will be taken
with a knowledge that Czar Nicholas
has always been a stanch supporter
of The Hague court.

GRAFT COLD STORAGE SKIN
Success of Plan Tried In Philadelphia
Means Great Aid for Science
In Future.
Philadelphia Through the success
of an operation performed upon Miss
Annie Windt , the physicians at the
Samaritan hospital have made a dis
covery which may be of great benefit
to the science of grafting skin.
The discovery is that skin taken
from the human body may be kept In
a healthy condition for a long period
without suffering harm and that it
may be used to replace skin that has
been burned or otherwise destroyed.
On January 2 32 square inches of
skin were removed from an injured
man. Five days later the skin was
taken out of cold storage and placed
upon Miss Windt's arm.
