At the Same Time That Russian
Influence Is IncreaS-

American Capital and Brains
Welcome, But Not the Eng
lish Article.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Reports COM
ing here to officials and diplomatic rep
resentatives Of Eastern countries indi-
cate that Slavonic or Russian influence
is becoming dominant, and that the
Anglo Saxon or English influence, which
has hitherto been uppermOst i'll the de-
velOpment of the East is being System
atically and surely eliminated from
the control of China and the East. This
evolution is regarded as of great i'm
portance.
A striking illustration of the change
in China has come to the attention OF
the officials here An American gen
tleman has arrived in Washington after
being in China for some time negotiat-
ing for the building of a railroad with
American capital. He found Russian
influence so strong that he went to the
Russian ambassador at Pekin to learn if
the American project would be viewed
with favor by the Russians. The am
bassadCr said:
DO Not Need English Capital.
"Yes, Americans and American cap
ital will be welcome in the developme ut
of China, but British capital is not
| want ed
! In the most emphatic manner the am
bassador made known his opinion that
British influence in China was at al
end, and that Russia had openly entered
upon her course controlling and devel
oping China. In an indirect way
the United States has become
involved in this evolution o.
Chinese affairs. The condition
was foreseen by Great Britain some
time ago, before the Rosebery govern
ment went out of Office. Lord Kim
berly addressed note to this countr,
suggesting joint action in the settlemen
of the China-Japan trouble. 1t ha
since been disclosed by British official
at Washington that the purpose of Lor:
Kimberly was to cement English a
against Russian influence. The Unite,
States declined Lord Kimberly's over
lures, and as result the Russians hay
been left free to execute their broad plal
of bringing the Eastern world under tn
influence of the czar

principle already existing i'll relation to
Scottish peers sitting in the house of
lords or to have the house of commons
elect an upper chamber from the peer
age. 1t is also, according to The Chron-
icle, intended to give peers the right to
forego the house of lords prerogatives
and euter the house Of commons.

HARRISON EXPRESSES HIMSELF.
Id ca of Chief OF Police or Mayor Actin

Idea of Chief OF Police or Mayor Acting
rs Judges of Law Nonstrous.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 2S.-General Ben
jamin Harrison has expressed himself
on the enforcement Of the law which Is
the chief issue in the present municipal
campaign. He said:
THE importance of an honest, econ
omical, business administration OF city
affairs and the firm enforcement OF all
the laws cannot be over,tated. A city
50 managed attracts business and popu-
lation. The idea that mayor or CHIEF
of police is at liberty to permit any law
or ordinance to be violated is monstrous.
What They Are For.
We choose executive officers to en-
force laws, and uot to repeal or suspend
them at their pleasure. Their oath
is so. 1t is subversive OF our
system and destructive of social
order and of the peace to allow our ex-
ecutive officers to choose what laws they
will enforce. 1t is not at all question
whether like the law or whether the
officer likes the law. What sort of So
ciety would we have if no man Obeyed
the law and no officer enforced 1t unless
he liked it? Such questions are for the
legislature and the council. To find
fault with on officer for enforcing the
law is to repudiate our system of gov
ernment, and to vote against candl
date because he is pledged to enforce the
law is to associate ones self with thu
law breakers"

A Trip Down by Boat From New
UIm.

A party composed of H. S. Kennedy,
his uncle, Mr.. Donnelly, of Chicago,
Geo. A. Hoagland, of Omaha, and w.
FL. and B. f. Pay went to New Ulm
Friday and came down the river by
boat, and had enough experience to
keep them busy talking for week.
They had two boats sent up by
freight, and loaded the baggage into
one which went by the name of
pumpkin seed or monitor, as person
happened to look at it. Leaving New
Ulm at 1890 o'clock Friday forenoon,
they reached Mankato at 900 o'clock
last evening, and regretted that the
trip. was so short. They are enthusiast
tic in their description of the scenery,
which was finer than they had seen
anywhere. Mr.. Donnelly stated to-
day that he wondered that Mankato
people do not take the trip. Mr..
Hoagland, who is an ardent fisher
man, found the scenery too attrac-
tive to engage in his usual sport. The
water was so clear that fish could be
seen many feet away, but while
enough were caught to supply the
meals, the fishing was not very good.
The river was so low that in many
places it was necessary to get out and
pull the boats.
The first day Frank Pay was cap
tain of the monitor and in going down
rapids the boat tipped over and
everything got wet, but the most of
the baggage was recoved. When the
party reached CORTLAND for the night
the hotel keeper was gone, and his
wife was suspicious of the party, and
no amount of argument could get her
to take them in. They explained
that they were tired and wet, but she
only replied: Chow vas it you vos
vet? 1t hasn't rained today"
Finally a boarding house keeper was
found who took good care of the
party.
The second night was pleasantly
spent at Mr.. Cummings, in Hebron
But for the fact of the river being so
low, the trip could be made in a day
and a half.
Mr.. Donnelly took a number of
views of the scenery with his camera,
which he will take to Chicago with
him and develop, and has promised
Mr.. Kennedy a set of them. He
states that he wants to take the same
trip again next summer. The party
cooked their own meals, Rash Pay
presiding over the frying pan. There
was just enough work on the trip to
make the fun more enjoyable.

JOHN SONTAG'S WIDOW.

Eva Evans, daughter of the Fresno,
CAL, bandit, has brought suit in the
Superior Court of her county to re-
cover an interest in mine in the
Fresno mountains which was owned
by John Sontag, the partner of her
father. The suit is brought on the
ground that she was the widow of
Sontag, and thus entitled to the in
terest of her husband who was killed
while being hunted down in the
memorableAchase two years ago.
Miss Evans married an.actor, John
Ellis, who played in the thrilling
drama, evans and Sontag," in which
the Evans family blossomed forth
some time after Chris had been taken
to the Folsom penitentiary. Ellis by
the way, played the role of John Son.
tag. The couple lived in Oakland at
1913 Eleventh avenue for a time, but
they recently moved to Visalia,
where they now dwell. The fact that
Eva claims to be John Sontag's widow
is made further bit of news in the
fact that she married a namesake
Frank Evans, just before she became
a member Of the dramatic company.
She was subsequently divorced from
him, however, and then contracted the
next alliance with Ellis.

w. j. Dunn Takes an Assignment
to Geo. Pass.

" NSOs fdSSs
WI. Dunn made an assignment
Saturday night to Geo. Pass, for the
benefit of his creditors. 1t was a
voluntary assignment, uand Mr.. Dunn
does not reserve anyi of his property.
This move was brought about by the
pressure of Mr.. Dunns debts, which
were absorbing his property rapidly.
Sickness in his family for several
years has caused his financial embar-
rassment. He expects to pay all of
his debts and have alittle money to
spare, if his real estate brings it's fair
value.
The deed of assignment was filed
this morning. The assets are esti-
mated at $4,000, and consist mainly
of 100-acre farm in .Decoria and a
stock of millinery goods. The liabili-
ties are about $4,000, and consist
largely of notes forlmoney borrowed,
and accounts for millinery goods. Of
the liabilities, $4,000 is secured by
mortgages on the real estate.
Mr.. Dunn is an old resident of the
city and has built several houses and
taken an interest in the improvement
of the city, and his many friends will
regret his trouble. HisG daughters
health will not permit her to continue
in the millinery business, and he will
endeavor to make living,at his trade
of brick mason. w. r. Geddes is at
torney for the assignee.
