CHINA is RUSSIA'S.
"a Secret Treaty That Makes China
Russian Dependency.

a
Russian Dependency.
Tacoma. April 18-The text of the
secret treaty between Russia and China
which has been bothering the Euro
pean powers for several weeks has been
unearthed at Pekin. according to pri-
vate adviees just received from China
The terms of the treaty are such as
to practically reduce China to the
level of Russion dependency.
Furthermore, the North China Daily
News claims that Ii Hung Chang's
visit to Russia is not only to attend the
coronation but also to secure a per
sonal ratification of the treaty.
In the opinion of high diplomats in
Pelin. China viii refuse to pay the
balance of the Japanese war Indemnity
and on the other hand may secure a
loan from Russia with which to buy
more iron clads and renew the fight
with the Japanese.
One Of the clauses in the secret treaty
provides that in case Of war Russia is
to stand by China in preference to all
other powers. China agrees to throw
open all her ports to Russia and pro-
vide coalng stations for Russian war
ships.
In addition to this Russia is given
the right, in case of war over Corea to
attack the japanese and Coreans via
the Chinese-Corean frontier and also
to navigate the River Yalu in the same
vicinity in conducting naval engage
ments-
Russia is to furnish all necessary Off
GERS to drill and equip a strong Chinese
army. Russia has the right to recruit
her armies in China.
Russia is ceded the right to build any
number of the branches Of the Siber-
ian railroad into Chinese territory and
in case of attack by rival powers upon
Russia's road, China is to give the czar
an island near Vladivostock, which
may. if necessary, be fortified by Rus
sia to keep the powers at arms length.
Some OF the Englishmen in Pekin
consider this treaty a traitOrOus sale
of China to Russia and while they an
ticipate that the existence of the secret
treaty viii be denied at st. Petersburg,
nevertheless it exists as indicated by
Russia's movements in the far east

LIGHT ACCTMULATORS.
Report to State Department Showing
Peculiar Method Of Lighting
Chemnitz-

Washington. April 13.-A report to
the state department upon electric rail-
ways and electric lighting in German
cities from United States Consul Mon
Afghan at Chemnitz. says that expert
ments are being made in Dresden with
accumulators or storage batteries and
underground cOnduits with a view to
the replacement of the overhead sys-
tenn Of railway propulsion.
In Chemnitz, the overhead trolley
system has been enormously prOfita-
bic. In this case the trolley wires are
supported from iron rosettes cemented
into the walls of houses along the rail-
way thus dispensing with poles and
effecting economy in construction. The
system has worked perfectly for the
past two years and has much to com
mend it to cities bent upon an overhead
system.
Accumulators are largely used in
Chemnitz for electric lighting. They
consist of cylindrical columns twelve
feet high by five feet in diameter, so
distributed through the city as to make
it almost impossible for the light to fail
even should anything happen at the
central station to cut off the current.

tary contributions of those who attend
the mission.
The last mission in Topeka was given
by two Jesuit priests six years ago.
