RUSSIA GETS DEER ISLAND
Though it is Not Yet Known "ofR-
cialIy" at London.

London, March 2.-The correspondent
of the Daily Mail at Nagasial1i, Japan,
hears that Russia has prchased a
portion of Deer island, near COrea.
In the house of commons today, the
parliamentary secretary of the foreign
office, Mr.. CurZOn. answering a question
put by Sir Ellis Ashmeade Bartlett, con
sentative, as to whether Russia had oc-
cupied Deer Island said Russia. was
believed to be negotiating with Corea
for coal depot at Deer Island, where
Japan already had a similar site, but,
Mr.. Curzon added, nothing had been
heard officially of Russian occupation of
the island.
Referring to Port Arthur, Mr.. Curzon
said no forts existed there now and the
government was not aware that any
Russian land forces were at that place
Sir Ellis Ashmeade Bartlett having
brought up the Chinese question and
the advance of Russia, Mr.. Curzon, aft
er some debate said that British inter
estS in China were paramount, but not
exclusive
The British nation, he contended,
would not be justified in regarding leg
itimate competitors with jealousy, but
ought rather to use all efforts to keep
in an age of competition what was won
in an age of monopoly"
They could fOresee that China would
be confronted by greater dangers in the
future than she had been in the past
Great Britain's policy was to prevent
the disruption and to oppose the alien
alton of Chinese territory, and it was
not likely that Great Britain would
gard with satisfaction the attempts OF
others in the direction of such disrup
ton and alienati
Mr.Curzon reviewed the loan negotia-
lions, pointing out the generous and
unselfish nature of the British terms,
which, however, had not prevented the
suspicious being aroused that had pre-
venting the granting of the loan. Chi
ma, however, has assured Great Britain
that she would not ask a loan of any
other power, and today he (N1r- Curzon)
had learned that the loan would be ne
gotiated' through a powerful bank.
Mr.. Curzon recapitu1ated the vaIua-
BILE concessions, (afready cabled to the
United States) which China had vOlun-
tarily offered.
So far as Russia was concerned, her
assurance was that the port she had
secured as an outlet would be an open
port, like a treaty port. Great Britain
he declared had taken her stand upon
the treaty which empowered her to
oppose the imposition of special tariffs
by other powers at Chinese ports, and
no British government would ever con-
sent to an abandonment of curtailment
of treaty rights.

Crith children attended school in the
Second ward and were terrors to both
pupils and teachers, and occasionally
Crith and his wife would come over to
take a hand. Crith is well known by
all who have ever been candidates for
office in Ottawa. His visits to candi-
dates always were of the Colonel Major
Jeltz character-frequent and pressing.
The reputation of the Crith family for
their veracity in this community is not
good, and their story about the alleged
running of Lena Crith should be re-

by appointment today on Captain Gen

Senator Proctor said he as glad to visit
the beautiful island and hoped to see
some of the interior.
General Blanco referred to a visit he
paid the United States when he was a
fish than he can now. though as he said
his great fuency then probably was due
to the opportunity he had of conversing
with the handsome American women.
To a suggestion by Senator Proctor that
he ought to repeat the visit General
Blanco smilingly replied that he was too

the Americans for calling and said he

TRUST WITH A CONSCIENCE
The Plumbers Association Will Dis
band if MI. Boyle Says So.

There will be a conference between
Attorney General Boyle and Messrs.
c. J. Prescott and Christian States,
president and secretary respectively of
the State Plumbers association at the
formers office this afternoon, and it is
possible that it will result in the dis
banding of the association. The books
of the organization will be examined,
and if after this examination Attorney
General Boyle besides that the associa-
ton is a trust, it will be lisbanded
rather than stand prosecution by the
attorney general.
Mr. Boyle has been absent in Law
renee for the past 2 days looking up evil
dence against the association and aft
er returning to this city today he stated
that the evidence went to show that
the association is a trust. A short con-
SultatiOn was held with Mr.. Prescott
and Mr. States this morning, and they
agreed to allow an investigation of the
books of the organization this after
noon. They stated to Mr.. Boyle that
if he was satisfied after the inVestiga-
ton that the association was existing
on the principles of a trust, steps would
be taken to disband it rather than have
proceedings brought against it under
the trust law.
1t now depends on the decision of the
attorney general whether the State
Plumbers association shall cease or
continue existence.
