CHINA ASKED TO SANCTION PROPOSAL
Celestial Government Authorised by
Treaty to Prevent Hermit King
dom Actings la Likely to
Refuse Right Asked.
PEKING, July 17. The Corean minister
has urged Prince Chlng, tiead ot the For
eign office, to instruct the Chinese minister
at Seoul to authorise Corea to open Wiju,
Corea, to foreign trade as a means ot
mutual defence against Russian encroach
ment, but his action Is regarded aa futile.
Corea believes Its Independence will be
strengthened and prolonged if It la able to
open northern Corea to international trade.
Rassla'a Assnranees Meaningless.
United States Minister Conger has been
recalled from New Chwang, whither he
went to investigate the situation,' on ac
count of urgent business connected with
the American commercial treaty with
China. . .
The announcement that Russia has as
sured the United States that Moukden and
Ta Tung Kao will be made open porta is
accepted here as meaningless until the
United States has secured Russia's positive
command to Prince Chlng to sign the
American commercial treaty, after which
China would have no power over these
porta. ,
While the opening of the two ports elim
inates the United States from any actual
quarrel, It contributes nothing to the solu
tion ot Japan's difficulties and promises
no solution regarding Russia's encroach
ment In Corea or Its evacuation of Man
churia. ' On the contrary, the 'Japanese
read Russia's promise to America , with
apprehension.
' Treaty Gives China Power.
WASHINGTON, July 17 The roundabout
method adopted by the Co'n government
to secure the opening of Wiju to foreign
trade is probably necessary because of
some treaty stipulations between China
and Corea signed since the China-Japan
war requiring China to conitent before such
a step Is taken.
For many years most of the trafflo be
tween Corea and China has been by way of
Wiju, which is a big Corean market on
the Talu river nearly opposite Ta Tung
Kao, on the right bank of the Talu.
Recent dispatcher have shown that Russia
has made claims to extensive timber con
cessions in Corea on the banks of the Yalu
and both tbat country and Japan are ap
prehensive that through these claims Russia
will obtalj a strong foothold In Corea.
Japan is believed to be at the bottom ot
this latest Corean move.
Russia Notlao Japan. , .
The Japanese minister, Mr. Kogoro Taka
hlra, yesterday received a cablegram from
Toklo announcing that the Russian minister
to Japan had on the day previous officially
assured the authorities that the Russian
government would see to It that two porta
were opened In Manchuria to the world's
commerce.
The minister went at once to the State
department and informed Secretary Hay,
He there learned that similar assurances
had reached this government.
Britain Told ef Treaty.
LONDON, July 17. Ambassador Choate
haa been advised by Secretary Hay of the
assurance given by China and Russia re

service.
The promotions are made tnrougn tne
retirement of General George W. Davis
as major general on July 86 and the pri
motlon of Brigadier General Samuel S.
Sumner to be major general. It is said at
the department It is probable no more
promotions of this kind will be made. With
the above promotions there remain In ao
tlvi service below the rank of general offi
cer only seventy-seven officers who served
In the civil war.
General Carr, who has been promoted
from the Fourth cavalry, will remain In the
snme service and will be assigned to com
mand the cavalry and field artillery school
at Fort Riley, Kan.
-There Is one vacancy in the list of brig
adier generals for the permanent list that

that place.

all officers who have been on detached duty
for four years must return to their regi
ments or companies.

seoretary ot war haa directed that three
regiments of cavalry and three regiments
of infantry be returned to the United States
aa soon as transportation is available. The
regiments having tha longest service In the
Philippines will be selected. ,
Delivery Service for Big Routes.
The Postofflce department today made
public the following:
There seems to be a wide misunderstand
ing as to the present attitude of the de
partment regarding rural free delivery.
The statement has been published quite
generally, particularly In the went, that
rural routes that do not handle t.tuo pieces
of mall per month and supply luO families
are to be discontinued. It is not the Inten
tion of the department to disturb routes
already established unless they are mani
festly unnecessary. There are now on tile
In the department petitions for more routes
that will supply more than 100 families than
can be established with the present appro
priation. This being the caae, the depart
ment does not feel it wine, equitable or
Just to establish a route supplying less
than 114 families to the exclusiou of routes
that Will supply more than 10, the greatmt
good to the greatest number' being the
fundamental principle upon which rural
free delivery la being established. As long
as all the routes asked for cumiot be estab
lished because of the lack of sufficient
money those which will supply the greatest
number of families should uerUtluly have
preference.
Customs Boost Gem Values.
Word has reached the Treasury depart
ment that the board of general appraisers
has advanced 10 per ceut the value of a lot
of diamonds Imported by a firm of Cincin
nati lewelers and valued at about 176,wu.
The contention of the Importers was that
they had bought the diamonds at a bargain
and tbat the invoice correctly stated the
price paid. The government, however,
holds that duties are assessed on the actual
value of goods Imported, and that the duty
must bo paid on that basis. There Is no
appeal In a rase of this kind. Similar ad
vances have boen made on Imported dia
monds entered at Kansas City. An Im
portant .legal question Involved In these
cases Is whether the government had a
right to remove the diamonds from the
place at which they were Imported In order
to secure expert testimony as to their
value. In a number of cases the diamonds
have been sent to experts In other cities,
under proper safeguards. -
Hay Leaves for Itollday.
Secretary Hay left here today for his
summer, home on Lake Sunapee, N. H-,
where he will remain until autumn.

PROTEST IS DROPPED
(Continued from First Page.)
disclosed, although It Is known that the
president requested Secretary Hay to make
public the action of this government re
specting the Incidents.
President Roosevelt has no statement to
make at this time, regarding the matter.
Whatever Information the administration
may care to make public concerning It will
be given out ' by the State department la
Washington.
Matter May Bo Dropped.
It can bo said to be absolutely unlikely
that further efforts will be made to Induce
the Russian government to receive tha pe
tition. It Is certain that after so frank
and unequivocal a refusal to receive the
petition Russia would regard the bringing
of pressure to bear upon it to induce Its
acceptance of the representation as an act
of distinct unfriendliness.
As the actual presentation of the petition
Involved no question of principle and sub
stantially the result hoped for by the pro
motion of the movement conoernlng the
Klshlneff outrages had been achieved by
calling Russia's attention to the petition,
the probabilities are that the incident will
bo considered as closed.
NEW YORK. July 17. Leon N. Levi,
when informed of the action of Secretary
Hay, made the following statement:
The answer made by Russia to Secretary
Hay's note is no surprise to me. While, of
course, it was within the range of legi
bility that the czar and his ministers would
bn moved by considerations of humanity
end expediency to courteously receive a
p tltion from the American people, it was
well understood that the probabilities were
sli the other way. The movement, how
ever, has had all the good effects that were
in contemplation and even more. It has
enabled the American people and the gov
ernment to make an enduring record of
their views of the Klshlneff horror. It has
brought the emphatic expression of those
views home, not only to the people of
Russia, but to the Russian emperor and
tila minlatera ' '
The petition la now an official document,
preserved In the archives of the United
States, and will forever testify to the lofty
humanity of tha people, which is so splen
didly represented by., the signers,, and, .of
thMnrxsident and his advisers.
There it - will remain., aa' a witness tbat
the friendship of Russia for the United
States was not strong enough to permit a
respectful approval for religious liberty,
muria for citizens of this country. I am
convinced, too, that the. Influence on Russia
lias been powerful and good.
The number and character of the signa
tures to the petition stamp It as a convinc
ing expression of the religious tolerance
and sympathy of the American people. It
Is doubtful If there haa ever been in this
country such a written expression of opin
ion. The people, wltbout regard to racial,
religious or political affiliation, have stood
behind tho president In his manly and hu
mane activity.
Th nraclse method of conveying the pet!
tlon was never regarded by us of controll
ing Importance, and when Russia Indicated,
seml-omciaiiy, mat 11 wouiu unauueiii
able, we deemed 'It best for the Interests
of this country and of the Jews In Russia,
to avoid a course that would produce un
necessary Irritation. It was therefore that
on our Initiative and without any sugges
tion whatever we besought President Roose
velt to alter his decision to send the petl.
tlon and to transmit Its contents. I cannot
be too emphatic in declaring that at no
time has there been any disposition on tho
president's part to change the original
plan. Every step taken was most satin
factory to us and In accordance with our
requests.

1
Met, Angered, Turn Wrath from
Freight, Pelting Captured Ve
hicle with stones Till
Pollre Interfere.
CHICAGO, July 17. The riotous conduct
of the Kellogg Switchboard company
strikers and their sympathisers during the
last four days Impelled Mayor Harrison to
Issue a proclamation tonight urging all peo
ple to remain away from the scene of trou
ble. The proclamation orders all ,?eople to
keep off the streets, near to, e.id refrain
from gathering m crowds around the Kel
logg plant, and declares that all persons
who do this, or In any other way Interfere
with the work of the police ty forming
blockade will be promptly arrested and
punished. ,
Heavy rain this afternoon and evening
prevented possible trouble by dispersing
the mobs and the work of handling freight
from the plant of the Kellogg company
was not interfered with as much as on
former days.
The only mtx-up of the afternoon oc
curred at the Intersection of Taylor street
and Hermitage avenue. A large crowd
of men and boys, who pursued a wagon
load of freight sent out by the Kellogg
company found themselves being dlstanoed
by the speed ot the wagon and boarded a
Taylor street car, ordering the motorman to
take them In pursuit of tho wagon. Not
one of them would pay fares, and the
street car men refused to move the car
until fares were paid.
This angered the crowd, and, ending
their pursuit of the wagon, they turned
their attention to the street car. They
bombarded It with stones until there was
not a pane of glass left In it, and the
motorman and conductor narrowly escaped
injury. They would in all probability have
been badly hurt had not a squad of police
arrived In time to protect them.
Efforts were made during the afternoon
by President Schardt ot the Chicago Feder
ation of Labor to bring about a peace con
ference ot the officials of the Kellogg com
pany and the labor leaders, but it resulted
In nothing, as President Schardt was not
able to see all the men to arrange a meet
ing. It Is likely a meeting will be held in
the morning.
Mo attempt was mads during the day
by President Albert Young of the teu ni
si era union to force the Edison company
to shut oft Its power In the Kellogg plant.
President Young declares, however, that
he has reached an agreement with the
United Mine Workers of Illinois, through
W. D. Ryan, its secretary and treasurer,
by which the miners will refuse to mine
coal for the Edison company. On the other
hand, Mr. Ryan this afternoon declared
that he had not seen President Young and
that he had reached no agreement with
him.
"The miners are going to carry out their
contracts," said Mr. Ryan, "and will keep
em mining just the same. The Chicago
teamsters had better stop that kind of
talk."

A Piorli Merchant Knows I Specific (or
Rheumatism.
no Speaks from Experience, for He
Tried the nemedy Himself In a
Case of Several Years' Standing. '
In Peoria, HI., everybody know Mr. A.
Strumpf, whose fur store is located at No.
Ill Main street. Mr. Strumpf s business
take him to New York City frequently,
and on one of these trips he learned of a
specifio for the cure of rheumatism which
he trlell with such unexpectedly good re
sults that he Is anxious that others should
know ot It He says:
"Nearly everybody can tell you of a
remedy for rheumatism, but during the
long years that I suffered from this disease
I never heard of but one thing that would
cure It I tried It myself nnd haven't had
a touch of rheumatism since. In my case'
the disease did not trouble me all the time,
but at Intervals the pain was very severe
and medicine did not teem to have the
least effect on It On one of my visits to
New York a friend who had been cured of
rheumatism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale Peoplo advised me to try them.
He was so enthusiastic that I (I'd so and
the result Surprised n4e, for I had almost
despaired of a permanent cure. The pains
began to disappear before 1 had finished
the first box and throe boxes completely
cured me. That was nearly two years ago,
so you see my cure was permanent I
recommend Dr. Wlllltams' Pink Tills every
chance I get and know of many people
whom the pills have benefited."
Rheumatism Is always painful, but few
people know how really dangerous It Is on
account ot the liability that It may attack
the heart. Dr. Williams' rink Plills are
especlallly well adupted for the treatment
of this trouble through the blood Uhe only
corrrect way) and their power In all dis
orders of the blood and nerves makes them
of the greatest value In such stubborn
cases as locomotor ataxia, partial paraly
sis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
nervous headache, after-effects of the grip,
of fevers, and of other ecute diseases,
palpitation cf the heart, tnaemia, pale and
sallow complexions, and ell forms of weak
ness. ' At all druggista, or direct from Dr.
