correspondent of the Daily Mall hears from
an authoritative source that China .has ac
cepted the Russian proposals In ao far aa
It retards the duttea at the lake bounties.
After the negotiations with the Tsung II
Tamen, the correspondent continues, the
Russian minister formulated the following
conditions:
(1) The Importation of Chinese arms
Into Manchuria shall be taxed according to
the discretion of the Russian customs au
thorities and China shall aaree to construct
at K.lmn a manufactory to sunolv ma
terial for the prelected Russo-Chlneee
railroad to Peklna. which will pass Into the
viclnltv of Hainan.
(2) China shall establish In Rhardtn an
administrative body to Insure the rlahts
vested In the aold mines which are now
being worked br Russian enslneer.
All Russian nola sent to . enirai
rhtna shall be entirely free of any Chinese
customs chars.
(4) Russia and China shall Jointly arree
henceforward to close the door In Man-
chnr a to the aoooe or all powers.
This agreement, concludes the corre
spondent, will come Into force after the
opening of the Manchurlan railroad.
The Times correspondent at Peking Bays
be has ascertained that the fourth demand
in the first Russian document, namely, that
the present status of the administration
of Manchuria Is to remain unchanged, does
not apply to Manchuria, but Is a demand
that the administration of Mongolia ahall
not be changed. The object of this is to
check the suggested alteration In the gov
ernment of Mongolia by which It waa con
templated to transform Mongolia Into a
Chinese province.
The foreign office, continues the Times'
correspondent, has formally agreed that

' WASHINGTON, April ' Ruasla'a de

American interests were the aubjecta of a
. conference this afternoon between Beore
tary Hay and Count Caaslnl, the Russian
ambassador, at Secretary Hay'e bouse. It
ia denied that the ambassador brought offi

fact that be 4a atlll Buffering from an at-
taok of lumbago, which haa confined him to
the embassy (or aeveral weeka, la evidence
of the urgency of the call.
Stepa already have been taken, by the
State department to ascertain the true in
wardness of Russia's latest move. Am-
(sador McCormlck at St. Petersburg haa
been instructed by cable to present to the
Russian foreign office a note which, while
idiomatically known aa one of InQUiry, la
in aubatance a atrong protest agalnat Rua
ala's demands. Cable instructions also have
been aent to Minister Conger at Peking
to expresa to the Chinese authorltiea the
dissatisfaction of the United Statea wltb
Ruasla'a demands and the hope that China
will not accede to them. No answera have

minded of ' the severe blow to American
trade which must follow the granting of
the first two demands, that no more porta
or towna ia Manchuria be opened and .that
no additional foreign consuls be admitted.
rests Trade Agreement.
Russia's reason for contending for the
closed door in Manchuria la the claim that
the open door Is not a commercial, but a
political question. It . continues to assure
the United States that in some way thla
country's Interests will be protected In
Manchuria. The point Is made that aa the
Manchurlan demands are still In negotia
tion between St Petersburg and Peking, the
United States cannot expect Russia to make
concessions until the fate of Its demand haa
been determined. When China has acceded
to all of these demands, it is suggested,
a trade agreement of some sort can be
reached which will protect American trade
Interests.
Appreciating the fact that the interests"
of this country in Manchuria are those of
trade anl not territory, Russia, it Is stated,
lr disposed to make certain trade conces
sions to the United States In Manchuria at
the proper time.
Chinamen Will Protest.

'My opinion, based on car.. - ' fg
slonate observation. Is that the An.
boy beats the English boy out of si.'
There can be no comparison between the
two. The English public school boy, even
after he has spent a year or two or has
gone so far as to take a past degree at a
university, ia one of the most profoundly
ignorant creatures on the face of the earth.
Of geography he knowa only as much ss
he may have gathered by collecting postage
atamps. With English literature he la not
even on terms of distant politeness.
'I am certain that In some way or other
the American system at school and at col
lege gets a tighter hold on the average lad
and forces him to take larger doses of the
unpalatable food of Information.
"Physically I think the American boy is
the equal of his English cousin In strength
and bodily development. Indeed, in mere
development of muscle he probably atands
higher, for In America more careful atten
tion la paid to thta special subject. In
general health, robustness of constitution
and endurance the advantage Is with the
Englishman. Hla food as a boy is, I be
lieve, simpler and healthier. His nerves
are less liable to excitement, with the re
sult that he does not suffer so much from
his stomach going back on him.
"Something there is In the air of Amer

though it exonerates like champagne for
the time, has the effect of wearing men
out. The American, In fact, la fearfully

BROWN PLAYS PRINCE WELL
Footman Who Deceived Count Has
sell Evidently Won Her
Heart.
(Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON. April 16. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) The ex
footman, William Brown, who got Countesa
Russell to marry him by pretending that
he was Prince Stuart de Modena, a natural
son of the emperor of Austria, from whom
be waa about to receive $40,000 a year. Is
a good-looking young fellow, tall, 'well
built, well tailored, with clean-cut fea
tures, dark, neatly trimmed mustache, blue
yea and aa off-band manner,,, Hla accent
Is not that of an educated man, but though
the countesa knew htm tx months, she and
her mother (Lady Scott, who has bad con
alderable experience) never once auspected
the imposture.
The "prince" borrowed money freely from
the countess, who appeara to have really
fallen In love with him. He says be never in
tended to go the length of marrying her,
but waa gradually drawn into proposing.
After her first outburst of anger on dis
covering that she htd been deceived and
deserted, the countess gave the police
no assistance in tracing him. Even now
that he Is under arrest she seems unwilling
to prosecute blm.
It Is auspected that Brown waa put for
ward in the first Instance by some person
who had a grudge against the countess, to
play a practical Joke upon her. But the
affair developed ao satisfactorily that Brown
made full use of his opportunity and even
tually married the countess, believing that
her fondness for him would prevent her
from revenging herself when' the inevitable
discovery of his imposition came.
Brown will be arraigned in court at
Portsmouth on Monday, on the charge of
making a false entry In the marriage register
there when he wedded Countess Russell,
having signed the name of Athrobald Stuart
de Modena.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April 26. (Special.)
went Roosevelt has, within the last
i It be known that he emphatically
oWr ives of the bablt of some army and
navy officer of commenting, for publica
tion, upon the relations between this coun
try and Germany. The immediate cause
of this action on the part of tho president
waa the utterance of Admiral Dewey to a
newspsper correspondent In which the hero
of Msnlla aald some things which the Ger
man people have resented. The president
as weil as Secretary Root realise that
there are aeveral matters pending between
the German empire and the United Statea
which have caused friction and which may
lead to exceedingly unpleasant conse
quences. It Is the Intention of the administration
absolutely to silence every officer of the
United States, civil or military, upon the
subject of our foreign relations. It has
been reported that Admiral Dewey haa been
formally rebuked for hla ill-advised talk
with a newspaper friend.
Dewey Doesn't Deny It.
Tht admiral doea not deny that the words
attributed . to him were uttered by biro.
The admiral la not that kind of a man.
Many men In public life, finding themselve
quoted in cold type, have repudiated Inter
views, but Admiral Dewey practically ad
mlts that he was correctly reported In his
recent Interview which attracted such
widespread attention, and he is perfectly
willing to take the consequences. The ad
miral undoubtedly haa heard through the
secretary of the navy that hia talk is re
garded aa exceedingly Injudicious and he
haa been advised of the desire of the pres
ident that he shall hereafter Terrain from
comment likely to produce international
complications. In the meantime. Baron
von Sternburg, the present representative
of the German empire In thla country, in
a speech at a dinner In New York, haa tried
to undo any damage which the talk of the
admiral may have done. Referring to the
strain which the Incidents connected with
Samoan and Venexuelan affairs caused be
tween Germany and the United Statea, the
baron said: "In both cases there was eomo
unpleasantnesa which threatened to pro
duce friction. But all fair-minded men who
have analysed the reaaona which caused
the trouble aeemed to agree that it waa
in no way due to any political or commer
cial queattona which were menacing the
welfare of either country, but it waa due
to a misunderstanding."
Governments Do Their Best.
The German . minister waa undoubtedly
right , in hla statement, , but unfortunately
these misunderstandings, which are of fre
quent occurrence, sometimes lead to war.
Probably it waa the knowledge of thla fact
which led Secretary Root to predict a
conteat at arms between Germany and the
United Statea in the' near future. Both
countries are, however, using all .their
powers of diplomacy to aettle amicably a
numbering of fretting questions which are
atlll bones of contention and of which the
general public knowa but little.
One of the first matters to receive the
attention of the president upon hla return
to Washington will be the Instructions to
the American commissioners who have been
aelected to settle the dispute over the
British-American boundary line. It ap
peara now that the meeting of the com
mlssloners in London may be postponed
until the early autrmn. It will not be aa
easy a matter to aettle aa appeara at first
blush. The American contention, while ap
parently borne out by old Russian maps,
Is most vigorously disputed by the Cana
dian authorltiea and the latest advlcea seem
to iudlcate that they have more basis for
their claims than at first appeared possible.
Still, the work to be ("one will bring out
all the data obtainable not only in the
British and American archives, but In thosq
stored in St. Petersburg aa well. It ap
peared at first that the commission would
be able to complete its labors and to pre.
pare a final report by the time congress re
assembles in regular session In December,
but now it seems more likely that the
negotiattona may extend over many months
and that thla very embarrassing question
may not be aettled for a year or more.
China May Require Troops.
All reports from China coming to the
State department, most of which are not
made public, indicate that the Boxer
troubles are much more serious than press
dispatches show. About the only Informa
tion of the fresh Boxer uprisings which find
their way Into American newspapers Is that
thus far have been able to suppress the
rebels and that no foreign complications
bave arisen. Nevertheless, the secretary
of war la undoubtedly worried over the
continued outbreaks, and be has taken
every precaution possible to Insure the
representation In China of the military
forces of the United States In considerable
numbers and with great promptitude when
ever the occasion for American Interfer
ence may arise. It need surprise no one
to hfar within three months ot that time,
that 6,000 American troops have been or
dered from the Philippines to China to
protect American interests, and It can be
said now that when the necessity arises
the military authorities In Manila will be
ready to send this force thoroughly
equipped more quickly than an Invading
army was ever before transported to a
foreign territory.
Corbla Incident May Split Club.
The action of the Metropolitan club In
blackballing General Corbln has created
aomethtng more than a tempest In a teapot
among the club men in Washington. It la
not the first time that the adjutant general
of the army has been humiliated by the
' nd u notorious that personal spite fre-
quently has actuated tbe committee on
membership In "turning down" applicants.
The direct result of tbe Corbln incident
baa been tbe resignation of a number of
tbe most prominent members of the or
ganisation. It now seems more than prob
able that the outcome of the personal spite
shown against th adjutant general of the
army will be the incorporation of a new
rlub upon broader lines than those of the
Metropolitan rlub. It Is understood that
the prime movers In the. plan for a new
social organisatlca Include the president of
th I'nlted States and several members of
bis official family. Among the latter are

ST. LOUIS, April 26. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Lee has resigned. This afternoon he
decided, after consultation with bis legal
advisers, to Immediately vacate his office
and the resultant letter la now 'speeding
across the stale with .a special delivery
stamp attached to Insure, its being deliv
ered ' to Governor Dockery at the earliest
possible moment tomorrow.
The exact reason for the step baa not
been made public, but It is known to be In
connection wltb the boodle Investigation
whlch led to his night from the fate and In
which he Is popularly supposed to be much
more than a disinterested witness.
So far he has persistently refused to tell
what evidence he gave the grand Jury on
Friday, but others have spoken for blm,
alleging' that he admitted being made the
go-between for those who were fighting the !
aiura mil. Accoroing to tms story, Kelley,
the agent of the baking pewder trust, gave
him $10,000 to distribute among those sen
ators whose votes could thus be Influenced.
He accepted the task, but afterward break
ing down, persuaded Senator , Farrla to
undertake It, keeping, however, his lion's
share of the' boodle fund when the dis
tribution finally took place at the Kardtac
hotel. t
Governor Dockery will receive the res
ignation which under state law will
t once become effective, about 7:30 to
morrow. Consequently Senator Thomaa
Rubey will combine the offices of president
pro tern of the senate and lieutenant gov
ernor when the president cornea here. Dur
ing his legislative career Senator Rubey

Mr. Lee tonight gave out the following
public atatement: , '
A desire to retire from political life and

nation. Now that I am lust a private eltfxen I

that I might he commended for. It one has
failed to fulfill nublio reauirements and
has made an error. It seems to me that
when he voluntarily relinquish all claims
to office and honor and seta out to make
whatever reparation he can that he should
at least be permitted to continue to live.
I feel that my effort to reform abuses In
legislative matters has brought unon me
troubles that I could have avoided by a
policy of silence and concealment and that
determination to do right and refuse to be

political downfall. . . .

HEALTH BOARD IS ON GUARD
Will Be Watchful Lest Bad Fruits
1 or Vegetables Get Paet
Them.
Wltb the coming of the sesson of cheap
green fruits and vegetables the Bosrd of
Health Is renewing Its vigilance to prevent
the sale of unwholesome market offerings.
The most glaring violation ot the rules of
health cornea from one of the commission
houses dealing in fruit. Here, one day last j
week, a number of cases of strawberries i
were condemned because of decay and were '
thrown Into, the refuse barrel which la re
moved each day by the scavenger. , While
the fruit was In the barrel a peddlar came
and took from It ten boxes of the con
demned strawberries. A short time after
wards he returned and said that he had sold
them for 10 cents a box. When the man
ager of the house learned what had been
done he forbade a continuance of it, but
nearly a Coxen cases of the condemned fruit
had been placed on the market before tt
was stopped.
It Is reported also to the Board of Health
that some of the peddlers have been In the
habit of securing barrels of radishes which
are so decayed as to be unsaleable and re
moving the decayed portions of tbe vege
tables and eutting off the damaged tops to
sell the radishes by the quart.
When the matter was brought to the at
tention ot the Board of Health It was said
by one of the officials that the commission
men are somewhat to blame tor the prac
tice as they fall to notify the city offlciala
when food is condemned, and the city can
not keep watch at each house. When such
food is condemned by the city II Is made
unsaleable by having kerosene poured over
It. Dr. Ramacciottl, who has charge ol
the condemnation and destruction of food
products In the city, will have the matter
In charge and will make especial effort to
see tbat no unwholesome vegetables are
placed upon the market, but he must hsve
the co-operation ot dealers snd to some
extent of householders before the work can
be made effective.

drums In obedience to orders sent to Cap
tain Hayes Saturday night.
Asked for an explanation ot this demon
stration of bis power, Mr. Broatcb deigned
to remark:
"I have nothlpg to say."
"Did you issue the orders under which
these taloons were closed?"
' "I have nothing to' say."
"Why were these orders issued?"
"I have nothing to say."

DECLINES TO LIFT HIS LIDS
Hotel Guest Sleeps Despite Vigorous
Efforts of Other to Awaken
Hint.
Saturday eenlng a stranger, apparently
perfectly sober, sat down !a a chair at the
St. James hotel and fell asleep. All efforts
to awaken him were unavailing, and he
was carried to a cot end laid on It. His
breathing was natural and he snored lustily.
During the night he fell off the cot, but
was not awakened, and neither could he
be awakened, though every means was tried.
He awoke early this morning and aeemed
to be much refreshed by hia sound sleep,
but knew nothing of where be had been
up to a few moments before he came Into
tbe hotel. He felt in bis pockets and found
that hia money was all there. He Is of the
impression that he may bave been beguiled
Into a saloon and drugged, but succeeded In
getting away from the place before tbe
drug began to have any effect. He haa
Just an Indistinct remembrance ot someone
asking blin to go Into a aaloon, but be haa
no recollection of .drinking anything.
