FORCED TO INTERFERE.

French Interests Demanded That a
Check Be Pat Upon Japan.
PARIS, FRANCE, May BIN the Senate
to-day M. Hanotoux, the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, made an important state
ment regarding the foreign policy of the
Government, in which he said that French
national interests were subordinated to the
interests of other powers.
Hanotoux explained that the part which
France took in the European representa-
tons to Japan was dictated by the interests
of France in view of her position in
Hindoo-China and the protection she owed
to French religious missions in China.
France could not see the independence
of China menaced by permanent Japa-
nese occupation. If the empire of China
fell, or was rudely shaken, French inter
ests would surely suffer from the conse-
quent disorder and anarchy.
Russia. he continued, held the same
view regarding the necessity of maintain
ing the statusquo in China in her own in
terest, and Germany likewise had good
reasons for acting in unison with France
and Russia

Il Question as to Whether q Party of I'M

a question as to Whefher q Party of I'M
migrants Should Be admitted.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 31.-A
interesting question has arisen in the
Treasury Department which involves the
legal meaning of the word "polygamist"
Commissioner Stumpf of the Immigration
Bureau has received applications for ad-
mission to this country of Robert Stenson,
his wife Kate, Barbara Hunton, Lizzie
Naylor and seven children. These immi-
grants recently arrived at Quebec, Canada,
from Glasgow, and in their affidavits state
they are Mormons in religion and full be-
levers in poIygamy and intend to practice
polygamy if so inclined on reaching their
destination, Salt Lake City. The question
involved is whether belief in polygamy OF
itself and in the absence of proof of any
polygamous act brings the party within
the inhibition of the law declaring that
polygamists shall not be admitted into this
country. Acting Secretary Wike has the
subject under consideration. Mr.. Stumpf
is of the opinion that the parties should be
debarred from admission.

Turks Who May Be Taught to Respect
Foreigners.
CONSTANTINOPLE,T TURKEY, May 81
Advices from Moosh state that the resi-
dence of the French, British and Russian
ENJOYS have been forciby entered by Turk
ish gendarmes, who attempted to arrest
the servant of the ENJOYS. They used
abusive language and were expelled with
difficulty.
This news, coupled with the news from
Jeddah that the British Consul, Vice Con-
sui, Russian Acting Consul and French
Consular Secretary were attacked and shot
outside of the town has caused great ex-
element in diplomatic circles. The shoot
ing is attributed to Bedouins.
Three British warships have been or
dered to Jeddah with instructions to pro-
tect foreigners and investigate the killing
of the British Vice-Consul and the wound
ing of the other Consular officers.

ENGLAND WANTS RECOGNITION
Mast Be Heard by other Po,cers n, I'll
Oriental Negotiations.

LONDON, ENG, June 1.-The Times in
its financial article this morning, referring
to the attempt to exclude London from a
share in the Chinese indemnity loan, says
Russia still doggedly hangs to the idea
that the loan shall be confined to Russia
France and Germany, "but,' says the
Times, ION such terms the loan cannot
succeed
''The only possible plan is for London
also to have proper share. Even this
plan is not politically satisfactory, as it
might involve mischievous interference
with the Chinese customs duties, to which
British vessels contribute over so per cent
in the revenue.
SIN any case England will not allow
itself to be deprived of its legitimate voice
in the settlement of far eastern affairs
merely because it wisely refused to join
the three powers in policy of hostility to
Japan, conceived in the interest of Russia,
the outcome of which is far from clear"

mess ASSOCIATE
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 31.-A. w. Wright
has been missing since last Thursday un-
der circumstances which lead Clarence d.
Warner, his partner, to believe that he got
away with nearly all the cash and valuable
property belonging to the firm. Wright
left ostensibly for Kansas City on business
for the firm.
Warner told reporter that Wright took
with him S2o0,0 600 in negotiable bonds and
warranty deeds to valuable lands. Since
then nothing has been heard from him.
The fact that his partner sent his wife
away before he left and took trunks with
him led Warner to suspect Wright had de-
camped. Warner claims that he will lose
100000 if the missing man is not found
and forced to disgorge. Wright and War
ner did business as manufacturers agents.
They dealt principally in wagons and
buggies, which they exchanged for real es-
tate.

ut is not too much to say that there are
many signs of holy war against all Chris
