BEAR DECLARED AFRAID TO GIVE WAY Believes Jlew Eustern Power Would lis in To Much Prestige If Man ehurlu Were Evacuated, and io Stays. LONDON, July 24.-The 'bally Mail's Tokio correspondent sends a rather alarm ins view of the situation in the far east, lie says Russia's retention pf Manchuria, the Increase of Its fleet, the dispatch ot rein forcements to Manchuria, the southward movement of the army occupying Man churia and the defiant conduct on the Corean frontier, all alarmed the Japs, many of whom are convinced that it would be better to light now than risk the eventual loss of Corea and the relegation of Japan to a secondary place. The Japs, he pro ceeds, are accumulating stores and nego tiating the purchase of ships and already ' has a squadron off Vladivostok, to which port Russian vessels have been sent as a precaution, and both fleets are ready for action at any moment. - The Siberian press is declared to reveal the aggressive- spirit of the (Russian min ts ry party and to show that the Russians believe they will lose prestige if they give way now, as their far eastern empire will be lost and Japanese Influence will become predominant. The appointment of Marquis Ito as pres ident of the Privy council, the correspond ent says, Is favorable to peace, but Rus sia must retreat or there will be grave danger of war. The Japaness believe France and Kngland will Join in the ex pected conflict, which diplomatists at Tokio think, If once begun, will continue for years, involving disastrous results to Japan Onancally ar.d the creation of a sort of Balkan dlftlc'ulty in Corea. He adds that confidence is 'shown In the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Retorts Visit Nat Vetoed. . LONDON, July 28.

EXPORT TRADE SAID TO BE SUFFERING Drawback Law nnd Alcohol Schedules Need Revising, gays Represents tire, If Country Is to Be Sntladed. NEW YORK. July 23.-Addresslng the Furniture Association of America today. Congressman Loverlng said In part: In sll our history as a nation It has come to bo pretty well established that taxation for the protection to American Inoustry hHS yielded a fuller measure of public wel fare than a tax for revenue only, but It does not follow that the highest and most prohibitory tax Is the most protective. It s a fact that most of the industries of our country today are sorely In need of outlets In the markets of the world and the tariff should be so laid that the doors might sometimes swing outward as they swing in ward. Manufactures Grow Exceedingly. Within the past twenty-five years the number of factories has doubled, the capi number of employes is now nearly three J tal invesieu in mem nas uuHurumeu, uia times as treat, and the total value of their annual product lias grown from $5,5iiO.0u0 in ISM) to io,OOO.isx.Ooo at the present time. . Along with this marvelous Increase or productive power there has undoubtedly come an increase or consuming capacity. But. notwithstanding this the productive power of the country has been steadily ouK growing the consuming power and our 'fac tories are directly conrrorrteo. wun an in creasing surplus of products which are not required for domestic consumption. This tnen being tne actual state or anairs, the question remains: How can we increase our sales or manufactured articles in ior- eign markets? 1 propose touching on two needed reforms, waicn 1 am sausnea win sld in securing the desired additional mar kets. . Must Revise Drawback Law. The first of these Is the proposition to amend the customs drawback law, a pro vision of our tariff laws which allows s drawback of the duties paid on materials entering Into the manufacture of goods for export upon the exportation of these arti cles. The present drawback law has greatly helped to further the export trade In arti cles made wholly or In part from Imported duty-paid materials so that the advantages of the drawback system are now univer sally admitted. It has been found, however, in practical experience under the operation of this law that the requirement that the imported materials on which duties' are paid must lie positively Identified "us hav ing been used in the manufacture of any speclllc lot of exported articlea on which a drawback has been claimed, has operated to make the recovery ot drawback a dim cult matter. , Cheap Alcohol Needed. The second propsltlon is that to amend our internal revenue laws so as to provide cheaper alconoi for manufacturing pur pones. The tux of 2.bO a gallon on com mercial alcohol has prevented its general use in this country and gives the control ot the world's markets in articles In the manufacture of whicti alcohol Is an lmpor tant material to France, Great Drttuln. and particularly to Germany, where there Is a tax rate of only 5tt cents. This proposed change would not cause the loss of any revenue, since, owing to its high price, the taxed alcohol Is not being used for these purposes. It Is certain that a reduction of Mia tax -ill this country to 70 cents per proof gallon would sufficiently cheapen the cost of tills material.-. Here, then. Is an op portunity for the friends of protection to ahow a little wisdom nnd the sincerity of their solicitude for the home producer. For my own part. 1 have been a protec tionist all my lite, but I believe the prin ciple of protection best conserved by meet lug the question promptly and revising some of the glaring inequalities that are today shutting us out from the markets of the world If our legislators are wise they will not antagonize the great growing sentlmentMn ravor of tariff revision, whetner it comes under what Is known as the Iowa Idea, or that older and country-wide demand that has been forcing itself upon the attention of the party leaders for the last few years. Nothing less than a liberal drawback law enacted at the next session of congress will save the protective tariff from a'fear ful onslaught If not utter demolition. The only way to hold the friends of protection together is by the recognition of tne ma terial interests of our great and expanding Industries. They need and must have every possible outlet In the market of the world for their products. STAFF COLLEGE. GRADUATION Seventy-Five Out of Eighty-Eight Officers Pnaa Required Exam ination.'

KELLEY TELLS HIS STORY hows Corrrs Jondent Sine Cheeks w hich He Says w ere' Bent to Lee. ST. LOI I8, July M. A special from a staff correspondent st Nlagaraon-the-Luke, Out., today says: D. J. Kelley gave to the Post-Dispatch today for the first time, his story of ths' 11,000 check dated March II, which was handed to Robert Lee for his brother, John A. Lee, former lieutenant governor, snd upon which the two Indictments charging" Kelley with attempted bribery are based. Lee had told Attorney General Crow that he understood this was bribe money, but that he refused to ascept it. Lee held the check for two weeks before turning it over to the authorities. Kelley says that from the time the 1908 legislative session opened Lee begged him by wire and letter to let him have some money. He wss sorry for Lee's distress, but he thought he had given him1 enough during the preceding two years and was tired of supplying his financial wants. March 26, 1WB, Lee went to the office of the American Queen, the organ of the Na tional Health society in New York, and, according to Kelley, Lee said: "You know, Kelley, you promised me some money and I think I ought to havs It.' I don't consider," replied Kelley, "that you have done anything for me, . but X guess I can let you have a thousand." When Kelley reached St. Louis a week later he handed the $1,000 check to Robert E. Lee at the Planters hotel. March 81, 1903, Kelley received the fol lowing written request, signed John A. Lee: I Paper you smve Bob cannot be used at ni.AM.ni' T will lt,vA it returned and you can send New Xotk exenange pu' Mrs. Le. This Mr. Kelley refused to do. "Now." said Mr. Kelley, "If I tried to bribe Mr. Lee in that Instance why did he not Tnentlon all the checks of a similar na ture, that I had sent to him?" Mr. Kelley then showed correspqndent nine other checks for sums aggregating 12.250 which he said he sent Lee between November 1, 1901, and December 14, 1902.

Health Commissioner Ralph was til yester day, but promised to taks ths matter up In' the afternoon he telephoned to Chief Donahue arid asked him to detail an officer to visit the neighborhood and ascertain the facts. This will be dons today. "All dogs thought to have been bitten by the rablea-lnferted spaniel should be tied up "and watched carefully for several weeks," sAld Dr. Ralph. "If It Is tpue that certain dogs were bitten by the beast I shall Insist upon them being jellied at once." As has been recorded, there Is much alarm In the Stover neighborhood. At the present time many dogs are tied and con' fined In barns and sheds, snd their owners sre observing them frequently for traces of hydrophobia. Many other dogs that are common to the vicinity are still at large. however, -and some of the householders thlrtk they ought to be killed One of them said, yesterday that he believed It would bs a good plan to slay all the dogs that stood a chanca of being bitten, in order to mske the prevention thorough. So far there Is no positive evidence at hand that other dogs were Injured by the small water spaniel, which the doctors say undoubtedly had rabies. Opposed to N are the statements of the Gellenbecks, who de clare that the pup had no opportunity to bite other dogs, because no other dogs were near It, excepting two cocker spaniels st the Gellenbeck home, which showed an aversion to the puppy. The Utter was tramp dog, found one morning Id the Gel lenbeck yard. ' . .

CARDINAL 0REGLIA WINS HIGH PRAISE . Austerity Seems Lessened by Power nnd Colleagues flee New Side of Fnmons Kccleslsstle Who Mow Henda Hierarchy, ROM V.. Jnlv 53. From sunrise to sunset today thousands passed befors the bod"y of Io XIII. lying In stats in the basilica of 8t. Peter's. It was originally intended that this opportunity Dublkly to lew th! remains was to extend through three days. but now It seems the funeral may occur on Friday instead of Saturday, owing to the evidences that decomposition is setting In. This Is due to today's severe heat from which , no embalming.- however perfect, could completely proteVt the body. The dead pope's will was opened at to day's meeting of the congregation of car dlnsls. It consists of thirty-six pages In Leo's own handwriting and leaves all hi property to his successor for the use of tho church. Family Is Remembered. To each member of his family he leaves present to be chosen from the valuable ( objects In his apartment. Similar presents are bequeathed to his physicians. The to tal amount left Is not yet known. Ths prevailing Impression of fttoas who todsy passed before the Iron gate to view the remains -was one of Intense pity, com bined with a certain sense of horror. The . body was tilted tip on the catafalque In order that all might see the terribly shrunken face. An ordinary skull in a frame of gold lying In the midst of a mass of red robes, could scarcely have been more typical of death. At sunrise, when the crush threatened a panic, all those who wished had the oppor tunity to enter St. Peter's. During hs day many of those who psssed in stoppea Be fore the catafalque to say a hurried prayer Hundreds of the women, and even soms of the men, carried children In their arms. An Important political factor waa intror ducsd into the ceremony by the entrance . Into St. Peter's of Italian soldiers. wh re malnod there throughput the day to, pre-, serve order. . ' Their presence la unprecedented in mod ern Italy and la Important as ao ludjcstloiv -of batter relations between tho government and ths Vatican,-ss tt was, by the, consent If not by the desire of tli. Vatican; suthor- Itics that quirinal troops are employed hi papal terrltorlty.' Another slgnlUcnnt event waa Cardinal Oreglla'a reception of a group . of city fathers of Rome who represent the clerical party. He charged them to thank also their liberal colleagues for (lie mani- . festations of sympathy they showod dur ing tho pope's illness. The cardlnul, con tinuing his conversation, indicated special satisfaction over Several manifestations coming from several bodies 'oortstituted by the kingdom of Italy, such aa communal councils and provincial deputation, Includ ing that of Rome, which Is presided over by Prince Felice Borghcse. ... "It Is an unexpected tribute." said ths cardinal, . "which no ons would .have Im agined twenty-ova years ago." Mar Demand Temporal Power. In this connection Importance attaches to today's meeting ot cardinals, whlob ap pointed Mgr. Plfleri, as confessor of the conclave, a committee Ml undertake the arrangements of the conclave and other officials,, such ss the physicians, who will attend them during their seclusion. The most Important matter before the meeting was a proposition presented by Cardinal Oreglia to send & note to the diplomatic body accredited to ths Holy Bee for tho purpose of representing to the powers the condition of the -papacy si nee the loss of Its temporal power and the transfer of the capital of the Italian government to Rome. From what leaked out It appears the-' proposition provoked 'considerable . opposi tion. Cardinals Stelnraber, Matthieu and others suggesting sh energetic note reclaim ing the lost papal rights. Csrdlnnls Ag- ' larari and Vaniutelll, pn the contrary, ad vocated a milder wording of this document, which, they contended, should maintain ths hlstorleal pretensions of the Holy Bee. but In temperate language. The congregation decided to pursue a middle course, and en trusted Mgr. Merry del Val with the duty of drawing up Ul document for Submis sion to another meeting. The note, when approved, will be presented- to the diplomatic body signed hv ' J Cardinals Oreglia, Maccht and Nechti. Popo Leo's Will Opened. Leo XIII. 's will comprises thirty-sis sheets In his own handwriting, except soms additions made In his later years, when he found considerable difficulty In writing, ow ing to the trembling of his hand, which was so pronounced before death that be wss obliged to hold his right hand with his left when hs made his signature. The earlier portions .of the testament Include a recom mendation addressed to his executors, Csr-' dlnsls Rampolla, Mocennt and Cretonl, on the best way to continue the religious Im pulse given to the church, ss wslf as the policy of the Holy See during later years. The document then enumerates all the prop erty, which Leo possessed and provides that It shall go to his successor for ths benefit of the church, including even ths presents which might perhaps be considered person--al rather than gifts to the The money which the pope left a closed safe In his bedroom, tho keys hav ing been given to different persons menl tloned in the will. To the members of his family the pope , v ,u um cnoeen from ins "j"-n in ijis apartment, and similar gifts are bequeathed to his docv tors. All the land purchased and build ings erected for Institutions personally founded by Leo are put In ths name of ths Holy Bee to evold possible claims from rel. aUves, as ths pope probably remombered that soms time after the death of Plus IX the tatter's nephews Instituted a suit against the church, claiming 16.000 francs ss their portion of his estats. Ths will ends by providing that his remains shall be buried In the basilica of Bt. John Ln teran In the tomb which bs had already chosen.
