VOMENi
WASHINOTON, April 14. Minister Con
ger, from Pekln, has cabled to Secretary
Hay a synopsis of the demands made upon
China by Russia respecting control of Man
churia. This account agrees precisely with
the full and accurate press reports ot Rus
sia's last coup from the Chinese capital.
Secretary Hay will take no action In the
matter until be has communicated the facts
to the president and has learned the tat
ter's wishes.
Ths present Impression here Is that the
Russian action Is a distinct breach ot faith
with the United States. The Russian gov
ernment pledged itself three times formally
and the documents are of record, that the
open door should bo maintained In Man
churia and Russian troops would be with
drawn as soon as peace was restored.
Finally, the latter promts took shape of
a treaty stipulation. It was provided that
the evacuation should take place within
three distinct periods. The last Russian
soldier should have quit Manchuria April
S according to that treaty. But a plausible
explanation for a temporary -retention ot
the remaining Russian tranos wss ottered
by Russia In ths claim that the country was
still disturbed and that vigorous military
methods were nscessary for the benefit ot
sanitation.
War Deemed I'altkelr.
Authorities say there Is no danger ot in
ternational trouble. The government of the
United States has recorded Its ideas of what
should be done in Manchuria and as the
result of Secretary .Hay's projected . con
ference with the president. It is probable
a further remonstrance will be added. But
It Is anticipated that Russia will, for th
time being, at least, allay foreign opposi
tion or at least that of the United States,
by carrying out Its pledge as to th "open
door" policy.
There will be no treaty ports In Man
churia tf Russia succeeds In this last move.
New Chwang, however, Is still a treaty
port and if Russia makes a further move
by applying its customs system to that
port United States products may enter
there at the same uniform rate of five per
cent duty as are collected in the southern
Chinese ports.
An official of ths government well in
formed regarding Chinese affairs says that
the step taken by Russia Is on for which
it has been preparing for a number ot
years. Extraordinary as it may seem, he
says that there . appears . to be no way ot
preventing the consummation ot Russia's
plan.
Japan Is In no position to dispute th ac
tion and, with the assistance of England,
It Is doubtful. In his opinion, whether th
purpose of Russia could be changed.
As to the Interest of this government, ce
said. It was doubtful whether th United
States could look with favor upon the con
trol of the Faclfie ocean which the new
move would give Russia. . He had no doubt
that Russia would . eventually apply th
Russian tarltt to ths new territory In which
case the United States would endeavor to
sell the Russians raw materials ror manu
facturing In place of th finished products
which now go to that part of China.
Devtlefataat la Mamekariau
He said that there had been great de
velopment In Manchuria under th Russian
auspices during th past few year ana
especially In the last eight months. Im
mense sums ot money, he said, have Been
spent In building railroads, bridges and
other works to Improve transportation ana
so build Industries. This was especially
th cas at Dalny, the port about forty
miles from - Port Arthur, which has hot
only been greatly improved, but well forti
fied. This port Is In the leased territory
whloh was dlscuassd In correspondence be
tween th United States and Russian gov
ernments in 1899. When Russia leased tor
twenty-live years certain Chinese porta
assurance were given Ambassador Hitch
cock that th open door would be main
tained. To make this mora em
phatlo. Secretary Hay, September 6,
addressed a letter to Ambassador Tower,
calling attention to th categorical assur
ances given bis predecessor by Russia
when It leased the ports ot Port Arthur,
Ta Lien Wan and the adjaoent territory In
the Lloa Tung peninsula
On December 18, 1899, Count Muravteft
replied to Mr. Hay's note, saying that tha
Imperial government had demonstrated Its
firm intention to follow the policy of the
"open door." In the same note the count
said that as to other territory, the fixing
of duties belong to China Itself and "the
Imperial government has no intention of
claiming privileges for its own subjects to
the exclusion of other foreigners."
Rsaalaa Ambassador Czplalaa.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador
said concerning the announcement made In
the dispatches from Peking relative to con
ditions which Russia has named to China:
I have not yet received official news snl.
In consequence, cannot dlncuaa the point
mentioned In the dlrpatches. I can say.
enerally PDeakinr. that It is only natural
that Kuaata, before evacuating Manchuria,
should take measures to prevent a repeti
tion of the troubles of 1K, as well ta
Insure In that country her political Influ
ence, which was never contested owing to
Its geographical position.
In answer to questions as to how th
proposed terms named in the dispatch from
Peking would affect American trads Inter
ests in Manchuria, the ambassador, re
peating that he could not discuss the do
tails of the' terms mentioned in the dls
patch since he had not been officially ad
vised ot them, said:
The assurances which Ruasla has given
on different occasion relative to the a
curltv of American trade interests In Man
churla continue In full fore aud could not
I be otherwise construed.
I The dispatches from Peking announcing
i the terms which Russia has named to
! China for the carrying out ot the Man
churlan agreement were read with deep
concern In dtplomatlo circles today. While
I the diplomats are not disposed for obvious
reasons to publicly comment on them. It
Is expected that at least the United States,
Great Britain and Japan will Join la a firm
nota to ths Chinese government Insisting
that China do not agree to the conditions
which Russia seeks to Impose.
' It Is rather expected In diplomatic quar
ters that the Vulted States will take the
Initiative, possibly because of the prompt
action taken by Secretary Hay on one
other occasion when Russia sought to se
cure an agreement with China which was
held by the other powers to be Inimical to
their Interests. The Interests of the United
States, Orest Britain and Japan In Man
churla are such, it Is ssld, to bring those
countries closely together in this matter
Another reason which leads at least some
of the diplomats to thluk that the United
States will move first In the mstter ot
representations to China to withhold ac
quiescence to the Russian terms Is that
Rutsla has made, as one of the conditions
precedent to the evacuation ot New
Chwang and the two southern provinces of
Manchuria th condition that ther shall be
no new treaty ports In Manchuria, where
as the draft of the new commercial treaty
between th United States and China pro
vldes for the opening of Mukden snd Taku
8han as treaty ports.
Dae ta Leave Daye Aaro.
Tb date tor Russia's wlthdrswsl from
New Chwang was April 8, but It Is not
known her just how long before that date
Russia communicated th demands to China
which were announced In the Peking
dispatches this morning and It 1 not,
therefore, known whether the proposal ot
the condition relative to treaty ports ante
date the drafting of the Amerlcan-Chlneae
commercial treaty. Light on this point la
now of especlsl Interest.
Under the terms of the Msnchurlan con
vention the final evacuation of Manchuria
by Russia I to tske place next September,
therefore the diplomatic repreaentstlves
of the powers In Interest in the orient will
closely watch developments since the de
termination of the present Issue will ma
terially affect the final step.
It is not expected In dlplomstle quarters
that any representations will be made by
the powers affected by the Russian de
mands to Russia direct, but rather to the
Chinese. The Chines government would
ultimately apprise Russia of the views of
the powers moving In the matter.
In view of the latest developments In
Manchuria the naval strength ot the va
rious powers In Chinese waters become
ln'erestlng. Th Russlsn fleet has been
gradually Increased until now It numbers
forty-two vessels. France has thirty-one
ships and twenty others In India and
Cochln-Chtna waters. Great Britain at last
accounts had thirty-seven wsr vessels In
Chinese waters and Germany seventeen.
Kentucky and Oregon are the only Amer
ican battleships In the Asiatic station, but
there are twenty-four smaller American
warships. Including two monitors and some
small gunboats In Philippine waters. Japan
hss a strong naval force on the coast.
Brltala Ready to Act.
LONDON, April U. The foreign office,
although ready to act at a moment's no
tice, Is awaiting further details before cir
culating particulars already prepared sug
gesting Joint action by the United Status,
Britain and Japan against Russia's last
Manch jrlaa move.
The foreign office authorise the state
ment that If tha Chinese government cor
rectly represents Russia's claims, they
constitute an absolute breach ot all the
undertakings given In connection with Man
churia and utterly abrogate the principles
of tha open door, territorial division and
international comity, to which the British
government constantly and In public has
committed Itself. It is added that In these
principles Great Britain has always acted
with the United States, and It Is presumed
that similar feelings exist at Washington.
Nothing, however, is definitely known, as,
with the exception ot the British minister
to China, no ambassador has yet reported.
It la pointed out that Russia's explana
tion may throw a different light on its de
mands, although in official circles her
ther Is a frank expression of tha belief
that Russia has no intention of evacuating
Manchuria, and that It hopes, after demand
ing the maximum, to secure a compromise.
Count Bernstoff, first secretary, of the
German embassy, said tonight:
While Germany is a friend and supporter
of the open door, our interests In Manchuria
are sufficiently Important to justify our In
terference. Both on account of International polit
ical conditions and King . Edward' ap
proaching visit to Paris, where Russian
sympathy is strong, th announcement from
Peking came like a bombshell to London. It
la discussed with considerable reserve. No
attempt Is made, however, even by, th
most careful student of far eastern con
ditions, to underestimate the gravity of the
situation. Nothing definite will result until
Wednesday or later.
Franc Likely to Acqaleaee.
PARIS, April 24. Owing to the absence
of Foreign Minister Delcasse, foreign office
officials maintain a reserve In th matter
ot the Russian terms for the evscuatlon of
Manchuria, but the belief appear to be
generally accepted that the strong ties ex.
lsting between Franca and Russia sssui-e
least sympathetic support of Russia's
position, or els silent acquiescence.

trolled by experienced aeronauts, whence.
at a great altitude, the operators will flrr
a salute "of aerial guns, while from the
largest a huge American Dreworks flag will
drop, 400x200 feet. An aerial salute of
twenty-one guns will greet the appearance
of the Stars and Stripes and serve as a

This being the end sought, only th best

State Troopa Picked with Care.
Catching the spirit of this educational

Missouri will contribute Its Second, Third,
Fourth and Fifth regiments. The First
Missouri will do police duty on the expo

beef especially being too expensive for peo
ple of moderate means. What were for
merly considered every-day necessaries ar
now classified as luxuries. Persons dla
posed to be economical find It necessary to
live on the plainest fare, says the World.
As for the Important Items of fuel, coal
and wood were never before so hard to get.
Clothing, too, has gone upi at least, tailor
made clothes of the same quality cost mora
than in 1900 and 1901. In general It may b
said that ths things that go to make life
enjoyable ar so much higher than they
were a few years ago that saving seems to
be out ot the question tor ths average
wage worker or the clerk receiving a mod
erate salary say from $40 to $80 a month.
Along wlthUhe upward movement of prices
wages have increased from time to time,
but not as fast as expenses have Increased.
As a result the problem of how to live Is a
serious one.
Europeans who come to America find It
more difficult to get along here with th
earn degree of comfort as they could In the
old world, and, on the other hand, Amer
icans who ga abroad find many Items much
less costly than here. Those emigrating

make ends meet without working hardnr

country. For instsnce, Spaniards are as

Mexico. A house renting for $100 a month
In Madrid costs $400 a month In Mexico
City, and a flat renting from $18 to $25 a
month In Madrid la held at $126 or more In
Mexico City. Bo says the Mexican Herald.
According to the British consul In Buenos
Ayres the cost ot living Is considerable In
that city, and be is of the opinion that to
the other towns of Argentina living la no
chesper. The farm laborer h.s a hard
struggle to get along. The monthly ex
penses of the worklngman of Buenos Ayres
amount to $03 20, or 5 (about $26 In our
money), of which rent la the largest Item,
nearly one-third, and meat one-seventh.
while fire, light and clothes cost but little
in that warm climate. As wsges are small,
he concludes thst "unless the wife is also
a wags earner, there Is a small margin be
tween earnings and spending. The ordl
nary workman has to live poorly and spar
Ingly." The highest rate of wages are paid
to harvest hands In ths provlncs ot Buenos
Ayres, who receive from 10 to 12i shillings
a day, while carpenters receive from 4 to 6
shillings a day and blacksmiths ths same.
The wagea of other artisans are as low In

Interpellated today by members of the
center party regarding the killing of Hart

Good Friday last, because the former did
not salute the latter properly.
Admiralty Secretary von Tlerplts declared
he was ready to answer the interpellation
Immediately.
Herr Btoetfel,' center party, explained the
Interpellation. He said that according to
the testimony of a merchant -whose clerk
the deceased bad been for five years, Hart
mann was of a qutot, peaceable disposition
but Hussener's character was aggressive.
The view prevailed among the population
that soldiers were trained to such a con
ception of their Instructions as Hussener
exhibited.
The question was universally asked, why
not compel soldiers and marines when oft
duty to lesve thrlr arms In the barracks?
Admiral Answera Critics.
Admiral von Tlerplts began with a narra
tive of the circumstances of Hartmann's
death, as almady cabled. When he de
scribed how Hussener stabbed Hartmann in
tha back there were cries of "Sham" from
members of the relchstag.
Admiral von Tlerplts read a tflsgram
from the examining magistrate at Kiel
showing that the marine authorities ac
cepted Hussener's testimony that he re
ceived a blow from Hartmann while strug
gling to free himself from the latter, al
though several witnesses saw no blow
struck.
Continuing, hs said th regulations
respecting th us of arms were most
precise. Every superior was Justified In
using his arms to order and compel obe
dience to his orders In cases ot extreme
necessity or danger. So far as the Essen
cass could be Judged, Hussener acted di
rectly contrary to th regulations.
Th admiralty secretary added: "I pro
test most earnestly against th insinuation
that young officers are educated to cruel be
havior towards their subordinates. It we
forbid men oft duty to carry arms, where
will you set the limit? Every time a man
leaves barracks? Then you muat take th
arms from th whol army. Th Incident
Is profoundly regretted throughout the
navy, which Is ths best guarantee that
there will b no repetition of it."
Call Haasner Liar.
Herr Lensmann, South German people's
party, aaldi
"Hussnsr has several times been de
tected In untruths before th Investiga
tion commission. Hartmann, whom I know
personally, was a quiet, orderly man. Huss
ner's character la a conglomeration ' of
stupidity, brutality and swaggering self-
importance. The least we can demand Is
that such unfledged youths be forbidden I
bear arms."
Herr Bebelr the socialist leader, spoke In
a similar manner, hut with unusual mod
eration. Herr Groeber, center party, regarded It
as singular that a man of such Immature
Judgmeut bad not long since been removed
from the navy. He added that It should
be possible to take steps to avoid a recur
rence of such sn affair.
Admiral von Tlerplts declared Informa
tion from Kiel showed that Hussener wss
an excitable man, cruel to his subordinates,
without self-control snd unpopular with h s
comrades. When Husaner was attending
tbe marine school h's dismissal was seri
ously discussed, but a final probation wss
finally granted. Owing to an accident In
January tbe ensigns were strictly charged
not to meddle with the military. Huss
ner had also disregarded the regulRtions
respecting tbe treatment ot drunken men,
which prescribed that they should not bo
touched, but "should have their friends
carry them home.
"I protest energetically," concluded Von
Tlerpitx, "against generalizing the case."
An Owl' Flight for Life.
While the whaleback steamer Forest Cas
tle, from Liverpool, was off the Newfound
land banks an owl as white as snow fell
exhausted on the deck.
The owl made a desperate flight from an
Iceberg to the ship. It was "dead beat"
when It floundered aboard, and without a
great deal of trouble was mads prisoner.
Th sailors a ere utterly astonished at the
arrival of ths passenger. Some one ssw
the peculiar object coming laboriously
thrfggh tha air, making a line fly for the
whaleback. Away oft on the horiton line
was a great Iceberg, wblch had worked its
way further south than these terrors of the
northern sea are wont to do.
When tho "berg" parted company with
the icefield of the far north It probably
carried with It the owl, which clung to Its
ratt of cryatal until night was useless, a
stretch ot open sea forming a barrier over
which the bird did not dare attempt flight.
Like a sensible owl, It held to the refuge In
sight, hoping for a better one by and by.
When the Britisher Forest Castle ap
peared on the horlson th bird mad its one
last dash for lit. It was probably half
starved and 111 prepared for such a long
chase a stern chase, (oo for the vessel,
well to tha south, was also plying steadily
in that direction. However, the rac was
won by the owl Philadelphia Press.
