Consequence of the Extension of the
Siberinn RniIMaN to China.

In a recent report to the State Depart
ment Consul Bedloe at Canton calls spe-
clal attention to the very grave menace
with which American trade in China will
seen be threatened as a consequence of
the establishment of through railroad COM
munication between Russia in Europe
China via Siberia and Manchuria. 1T must
interest and concern our American manu-
facturers and exporters" says Consul Bed
loe, ito note the extension of the Rus
sian efforts to obtain territorial concessions
frC Chira, and their possible erect on
American trade in the Chinese empire. The
Importance of this question to our manu-
facturers and the gravity of the issues in
Volved made clearer by a retrospec-
tive view of Russa's action in other parts
of Asia where the Russian merchants have
had to meet British competitors. Russias S
success in Central Asia in pushing her
products ahead of her rivals will undoubt
edly be repeated in China, with a result
serious to us where our trade interests
clash with hers in cotton goods, kerosene
and flour. The Russian system will be ap-
piled in China to all rivals in trade, when
the through railroad line enables Moscow
manufacturers and merchants to pour their
products into the empire of China on terms
and under conditions which Russians Will
be in a position to fix as they please
1T is obvious that Russia'S policy is not
only the acquisition of an ice-free seaport
Ike Port Arthur or Talienwan. She has,
fer fifty years more, been planning to
capture the rich markets of this vast Chi
nese empire, and to accomplish this 1t was
necessary to run a railroad through ST.
IBERIA to a convenient seacoast port open

China under the convention of 1895 were
merely stepping stones for the Muscovite
trader to reach richer markets. 1t ap-
pears from the published text of the agree
ment which the Chinese government is al
legged to have made with the Russo-Chnese
Bank that the Chinese have bound them
selves to charge one-third less import duty
on all Russian goods entering China
through Manchuria than is paid SINH

Export duties are to be reduced one
fird in favor of Russia. All Russian man.

eteutial treatment of Russia's trade would

rebate on Russian imported cotton goods.
On every pound Of manufactured Russian
cotton other goods sent into Persia the
Moscow manufacturer and merchant re-
ceives an allowance from the government
of an amount equal to thr4a half pence
Sound money!, which is more than suffi-

ing to just a half-penny per pound), leav-
ing a penny per pound profit in freight be-
sides the usual profit on their goods. This
rebate is, in fact bounty paid u the Rus

to over $3,00O00o annually, which has as

Discrimination as to the johnson
School.


To tie Editor of The Evening Star.
The taX-paying citizens of that portion of
Columbia Heights known as Holmead Man
OF are justly indignant concerning what is
n nanifastly rank Discrimination against
that section by the school authorities
When the children and pupils from the
locality lying between 18th street and
Brlghtwood avenue attended the opening
of the johnson school yesterday they were
informed by the principal and teachers
that they could not be given seats, and that
IN order to receive any instruction at ali
II would be necessary for them to attend
the Monroe building. a considerable dis
tance farther from Holmead than the John
son school.
AT the same time ticket scholars" who
nave Dut recently moved into the locality
OF Mt Pleasant, were admitted several OF
them coming from as far south Florida
avenue.
1t is evident that some very short
sighted judgment has been exercised in de-
nnlng lhe boundaries of The Johnson school
district. Why should pupils be allowed in
struction coming from Florida avenue and
contiguous streets, while those living five
squares nearer the johnson building ar.
denied the right of educational privileges?
And why should the pupils who have at
tended the johnson last year and the year
previous be disfranchised while the new
comers are we'll taken care Of?
let it be wisely exercised. For there is GER
tainly wrong condition of affairs when
the ten-day tenant of a six-story fat is al
lowed to send his children to the Johnson
building, while pioneer citizens and proper
ty owners like William Holmead are thun-
derstruck in being informed that there is
no room for pupils residing east of 18th.
1t was only by dint of cool-headed judg-
ment that an indignation meeting was not
held last night. few of us cautioned
those who are more radical to move slow
and ascertain the causes which have led
to this unfortunate condition. Superinteud-
ent Powell has promised to make an in
vestigation, and ! feel certain that he will
treat us fairly and honestly. / had half
an hours talk with him this morning and,
while he admitted that some of our criti-
cismS are just, was not then prepared TO
outline a policy. Meanwhile the executive
committee of the Columbia Heights Citi-
zenS' Association have taken the matter up
and will at once endeavor to secure the
legal rights for the school children of Ho-
mead Manor. Let us be patient for a few
days, pending the outcome
