ENGLAND STILL FIRM.
Lord Salisbury Denies There Has Been
Breakdown to Russia.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-On incontrovertible
authority it is learned that Great Brit
ain has not backed down ON the ques-
ton of making Ta-Lien- Wan free
port. The Marquis of Salisbury, Mr..
Curzon, the parliamentary secretary of
the foreign Office, the Russian ambassa-
dor and the Chinese minister each said
they had not heard of any backdown.
The opening of Ta-Lien- Wan, it is
pointed out, was never made condi-
ton, III any sine qua non sense, in con-
nection with the loan to China.
The heat of the Russian press ON the
subject is i'll no sense shown by the
Russian government in its colnlauni
cations which have reached the 13- i
office Though Russia has protect
and means to continue to protest, -. t.fs
stoutest manner against Ta-Lien- i, 40,
being opened by British influence. sn(
will not carry her protest to the point
of making it a casus bell. Further, il
is by no means Russia's intention 10
close China to other nations in any con-
cessions made to Russia by China.

HiIn--SilVer Talks
NEW YORK, reD. John S. Silver,
one of the men whose borrowing from
the Chemical National bank led to the
resignation Of Director ana Cashier
Quinlan, said that he did no. owe as
much as he had been said to o We, but
whatever the sum was he would pay it.
President Williams admitted the truth
of statement that on Thursday last the
Chemical National bank had accepted a
demand note Of $201 800 from Francis
Cradle, agreeing at the same time not
to press Cradle for the money.
William II. Kurtz, who is said to have
been associated with Cradle III many Of
his deals, said:
"Mr. CRADLES dealings with the
Chemical National bank have extended
over a considerable period. TO my
knowledge he owned the bank $4,000
at one time and hquidated the debt I'M
til only $4,000 was left. Thus he has
gone on contracting obligations and
diseharging them. At the beginning Of
last week the total amount OF CRADLES
indebte dness to the bank was $20l, 800.
1t seems mat Mr.. G)uinlan had not re-
p0Iit4 tiit ldibSb tIdilodCtlOuo " lCoA-
dent y lliams. Becoming little anxi-
Gus, N. (1uinlan made a statement Of
Mr.. Gable account before President
" lllla+s and the directors at last
Thu. sea s. leeting
..The tarcctoIs made no complaint ON
this nv..,,, knowing Mr.. Cradle, but sent
MESA. e inviting him to wait upon
them cir. Cradle called there and the
result Of the conference was that Mr..
Cable we che directors demand note
for So, 80. The directors then agreed
not 20 l4oas him, but to afford him a
margin OF time III which to pay the
note.
Judge 4. G.. Hamer of kearney, Neh.,
who was said to be Mr.. CRADLES coun-
sci, said that if Cradle had not been
pressed he could have easily paid off his
present Indebtedness to the Chemical
National bank. CRADLES western com
panIes, Judge Hamer said, were all Ill
prosperous condition.
Judge Hamer said he supposed Ora
ble's property, if realized on, woulc
bring $l,000,000 over and above Mr.
CRADLES total Indebtedness.

Last year while supporting the Ma
tional honor by being a gold Demo

bankrupt condition of bank which
he knew would go broke in a short
while. He violated his oath to pro-
tect friend of his and to prevent the
failure, as he feared if it happened it
would have a bad effect on the ap-
preaching election. The National

ciates, but so far but few of them

The Dayton Bill.

From the interviews with local law
yers published in yesterdays News, it
appears that the bar here is divided
on Mr.. Dayton's bill to divide the
state into two judicial districts.
While the state bar association en-
dorsed the bill at its last meeting and
appointed a committee to urge its
passage by congress. many lawyers
were not present and their sentiments
on the matter were not heard. They,
it seems, have many objections to the
measure, one of the principal ones
being that Mr.. Dayton's motive in in
PRODUCING the measure is his desire
to wear the judicial ermine. 1t is
also said that he wants to secure for
the faithful, divers and sundry jobs
which a new district would Gre
ate. If this is true it will hurt the
measure which has many excellent
points. So far the bill has had plain
sailing in committee, but Judge Jack
sons opposition and the impression
that political game is behind it may
cause its defeat. Wheeling News.
