COREA WOULD OPEN PORTS Sees Independent Rendered Beonre in Visions of Isteraational Trade. 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 specting the opening of porta in Man churia.

In carrying out the program for the re duction of the force in the Philippines the 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.

President Makes Apportionments. The president haa appointed Dr. W. J McOeS of the bureau ot ethnology, Volney W. Foster of Chicago and Prof. Francis W. Kelsey, University of Michigan, to repre sent the United States on tha American archaeologlo and ethnologic commission, an outgrowth of the Pan-American congress In Mexico. 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. WOMAN IS ON THE SCAFFOLD Dora Wright Hanged at South Me . Alester for Murder of a Child. SOUTH M' ALESTER. I. T..

STRIKERS RAID STREET CAR Order Hotorman to Punas Kellogg Wagon, bat Befate to Pay Fans, TROLLEY CREW ASKS CASH IN ADYANCE 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."
