RUSSIA IN CHINA.
We are Interested in the East orn
Question Ourselves Now.

The complete ascendency of Russia
over Cbira forms one of the most sin
gular and most pregnant chapters OF
recent history. IL is so complete that
when the great Belgian railway con-
cession (which would give Russia
far more southerly terminus for her
great railway than she now has) was
offered to- the Russians recently they
refused it at moderate price, and
when the mioister VINO did tins was
asked why he missed such chance,
he is said to hsve replied that he could
get whatever concessions he needed
was sJateo IN very high circles that
the published arrangements between
Russia and China for the
Chinese portion of the Sib erian rail-
way could only be a fragment of a
wider agre. ment procuring for Rus
sla the ultimate possession of Port
Arthur, and it is now the opinion of
the best Informed European agents il
China that Russia has gained the i'm
portant provinces of Kirin and
Liaotong; and not only those, but q
practical protectora' e over the fright
ened and humiliated old empire itself
This unquessionably't takes the form
of an all ance, in which Russia, in re-
turn for the acquisition of the principal
naval port of China. promises to defend
northern China against all corners,
wi tut asking anything of the same
nature from that empire. This treaty,
signed in 1896, and brought about by
Count Cassiui for Russia, is supposed
to have been the result of the fear
of the Chinese emperor TO
the safety of his throne ano
The continuance of the present dynas-
ty. Of course there is not and has not
been the slightest menace to either.
and if the emperor and the real ruler
of China, the dowaeer empress, have
been made to believe in such dang Re-.
it is not hard to see who must have
a Housed the alarm and for what Dur
pose the bugaboo vas conjured up
From awakened Russia" by Julian

City Council.

The city council met last night in
regular session at the county court
rooms, with all the city fathers pres
ent. The minutes of the former meet
ing were read, and approved after
some little correction by the city at
tUrney.
The chief of police asked the council
to refund the sum of ten dollars to a
young man who was arrested last
month for carrying a concealed wea-
pom, and as he had now joined Teddy's
TerrOrs, be thought the council might
as we'll do that much. The council
passed resolution returning the
money.
The next subject before the council
was the question of how to keep the
merchants from blockading the side
walk with their show goods. 1t seems
'rat thero = a city ordinance allowing
them to use tn zee feet Of the sidewalk.
Bu. gle - n.any use six or eight feet
and in fact the whole sidewalk. The
council instructed the chief of police to
enforce the ord inance.
Alderman Clifford read the weekly
pay roll of the sewer department
amounting 70 $50, and the bill for feed
ing the prisoners for the month OF
were approved aud the city clerk Or
dered 10 draw warrants for their pay
ment.
The report of the clerk was receiv-
ed and approved.
Alderman Drummer then stated to
the council that the water works had
refused to put in the new fire plug on
San Antonio street as it was beyond the
600 foot limit. He was then instructed
to consult with the water company
and see what the additional charge
would be for putting it 346 feet beyond
he limit
The regular list Of bills was referred
to the finance committee.
A letter from DR.. Yandell tn alder
nan Clifford was read, advising the
council as to a way to force the proper
ty owners to builI sidewalks, by spriuk-
ling the street only in front of property
where there was good ST lie walk.
The mayor then stated to the council
that the city's portion of the levee was
finished and paid for, there being 4 1892
cubic yards of earth in it.
There is $1,000 in the street improve
ment fund that seems to be causing
considerable iron BILE in Alderman Cliff
ford g head, for he has been after t. e
council to use it in repairing the side
walks Will the may n wants to have
it Us I'll in hui,d ny a new c.,y Jail.
The city attorney was instr ucted to
draw up the plans of the new binds SO
that they could be autographed.
A report from Treasurer Fassett was
presented. showing that he had paid
into the city treasury the amount pro-
II ised before his wages were rails ed.
There being no further business the
council adjourned.

A Great Conspiracy.

Correspondence of the HERALD.
DETROIT, Mich, May 3.-For sew
eral weeks past the big New York
firm which has a monopoly of the
American rights for the impor; alton
aud sale of phenacetine has had
it's agents secretly at work at this city
endeavoring sto bring to light Ema-
nipulators of a gigantic consp racy by
which it is alleged thousands of dollars
worth of the valuable drug is being
brought into this country and surrep-
titiously disposed of every week. The
operations of the men conducting this
illegal traffic are said to be on
50 large scale as to pra ;tically drive
the goods of the monopoly from the
western market while at the same
time their work is accomplished with
fully managed to conceal their identity
and at the same time bring the goods
from Canada to the Detroit custom
house. Toe purpose in bringing the
goods openly through the custom
house is to avoid complications with
the government, as it has ben shown
I'll at in the past all the illegal trafick-
ers in the drug have been
ferreted out by United States
secret service men by reason of
the fact that they smusgled the phe-
nacetine into the country. The dis
tributing point of the gang now oper-
ating is believed TO be Chicago, and
accents dealing direct with tho rotou
drug trade, and selling the
goods at prices below those
asked by the New York firm
Al e said to be employed in large num-
GERS, no. only ia the big cities. but on
the road as we'll. 1t is estimated that
the dealings of the crowd amount to
at least $4,000 a week; and if this is
true the schemers are reaping q hand
some profit.

So she retired for good and all,

That fragment kept on turning and was
