PORT ARTHUR OR WAR.
Russia Makes a Percmptory Demand
on China.


London, March 1.-The Pekin cor
respondent of the Times says: "Rus-
sia has demanded that China surren-
der to her all sovereignty over Port
Arthur and Ia Lien Wan for the
same period and on the same con-
ditions as Germany at Kiao Chau.
Besides this Russia demands the
right to construct a railway under
the same conditions as the trans
Manchurian railway from Petula on
that line. near the river Sunga Ripy,
to Kwang Chung Tsu, Mukden and
Port Arthur. Five days are given
for a reply and the agreement must
be made and signed within month.
"In the event Of noncompliance
Russia threatens to move her troops
into Manchuria, China will be
forced to yield. BY this agreement
Russia will obtain the right to send
soldiers into Loao-Tung, ostensibly
for the protection Of the railway
engineers. Russia's assurances that
the ports will be open for the world
are deceptive, isasmuch as while
conforming 10 tnese assurances.
Russia can convert the port into a
second and stronger Vladivostock."
The Times, commenting editorially
on the above dispatch, says: "Rus-
sia's protest is nothing more or less
than a demand upon China to aban-
don the whole of Manchuria and
the province Of Shin King, which in
cludcs the Li4o Tung peninsula. #
China yields, these provinces will
practically pass away forever, to be
incorporated in the czar's en-
pire. While recognizing that Rus
sia's desire for an ice free terminus
for her Asiatc railway is reasonable.
and legitimate, England cannot con
sent to the practical absorption Of
two great and wealthy Chinese prov
iuces."

FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Cannon Introduces Bill Appropriating
Fifty Millions.

Washington. March 7.-Chairman
Cannon of the appropriations com
mittce today introduced a bill en-
titled, "Making appropriations for
national defense" 1t is as follows:
"rhat there is hereby appropriate
ed out Of any money in the treasury
not otherwise appropriated, for ma
tional defense and for each and every
purpose connected Herewith, to be
expended at the discretion OF the
president and to remain available
until June 80, 1899, $50, 600. .00O."
1t was referred to the committee
on appropriations. The Cannon bill,
it was learned latter, was the out
come of a conference held at the
white house this morning at which
Cannon, Secretary Long, Dingley,
Allison and Grosvcnor were present.
The situation was considered so
grave It was thought imperative an
an immediate appropriation Of this
character should be made at ONCE to
prepare for national defense. After
the conference Cannon went tu the
capitol and called a special meeting
Of the appropriations committee.
After this meeting Cannon intro
duced the national defense bill in
the house. The appropriations COM
mittee will meet tomorrow.
The appropriation of $50,ooo,00o
for the national defense, which pro-
vision was made in the bill intro
duced in the house today by Mr..
Cannon, would not involve the issue
of bonds. This announcement was
made by the treasury officials, who
stated that the treasury was amply
prepared to meet any demands that
was likely to be made on it: On
Feb. l the cash in the treasury
amounted to $s56,571,7 ,7G6. of WHICH
s2o4, ,063,97l was gold, $5ll ,858,S40
silver, $l07 ,544,95S in par currency
and $33, ,0S4, 002 in disbursing officers
balances, etc. The net available
cash on hand above all amounted to
;S225. 564 o03.

Business Good III Middle Vest

John II. Murphy, who returned
from the east Thursday; was asked
yesterday how the situation i'm.
pressed him.
lit didn't impress ME particularly
one way or the other" he replied.
II could not say how the people
seem to feel in relation to our diff
Guilty with Spain. The newspapers
will tell that more accurately.
"Yes, business seems to be pretty
good back east. 1t is particularly Sc
in the middle west, | should Judge.
OF course, some Of the manufacture
ing towns OF the east are dull, but
that would be the case in the very
best OF times, 50 it IS hard to form
an idea OF tire general condition OF
business. .''-1ndepcndcnt.

lEMOCRATIC IDEAS OF FUSION:

While the silver republicans and
populists, or at least some Of them,
are advocating fusion with the dcm".
ocrats of Montana this year, and
thinking that the other party will
give them recognition and some Of
the good ot1ices=-iust to show THAT
democracy is willing to make any
sacrifices to help along: the silver
cause and for the sake of principle"
Il is interesting to note the attitude
Of many Of the leading democratic
papers on the subject. We have al
ready quoted some, and now reprint
extracts from others.
Is Is fusion for principle or for
petphisitcs? -Democrat:Me
The silver republican party in this
state has ever been possessed of an
Unsuitable yearning for fusion. In
cidentany its leaders and organs
that comprise the alleged party's sole
5trehgth-persistcntly proclaim that
1t can muster 10000 votes in Mon.
tana: Why those yearns then? Why
hot compel respect Western News
Around the court house they have
every thing fixed for the fall election
There will be general swap Of Off
ces and the same crowd will be il
control. 1t really seems needless tt
hold /; convention, J. M.'Kennedy
the big democratic leader, has tol(
the boys what nominations they Cal
have, and, Of course the local Croke
will keep his word. The ticket i
already prepared. Needless to ad'
that no republican or populist is con
sidered, not for a minute. Anacond

Every move made in the direction
Of consolidation Of the bimetalli
forces adds to the conviction OF Th
independent that the most ef'ectiy

democratic party is the silver part
Of the United States, strong in ever,
State and section, and all true friend
Of bimetalIism should be found in it

MILLS WITEDRiANVS.
i'll Not Be Candidate for Reflection
His Views on BimctalliSm.

Houston, Texas, March 6.-The
Post will, in the morning print let
ter from Senator Mills in which he
formally withdraws from the race
for reelection, which leaves the field
to Governor Culbertson. In his let
ter MI. Mills gave us the principal
reason for his withdrawal the recent
action Of the state executive commit
tee which made stringent test for
all persons desiring to participate in
democratic primaries and conven-
tions. He says that the action OF
the executive committee in dis
franchsing a large element Of the
party was done to dictate the nomin-
alton OF certain others.
He denies that he has deserted BIZ
mctallism and goes into his record at
length, concluding by saying: CHOW
that the great body of the CONNER
cial world has taken it's stand against
silver, | do not believe it in the
power Of the United States alone, by
it's independent action, to restore the
value Of silver to par with gold at
1G to 1. l believe that the United
States can restore the demand which
thay withdrew, but don't believe
they can restore the demand which
was withdrawn by other countries
when they closed their mints against
silver"
He then attacks the system Of tax
ing free raw materials, which is ad-
vocated by Governor Culbertson and
Congressman Bailey, the democratic
leader in the honse, both of whom he
mentions by name. He concludes:
1.-The coinage Of all the silver in
the world would accomplish no good
while exhaustive taxation is eating
the life Of the country day and night.
It Is; taxAt tion that is stopping tire
wheels of industry, keeping men out
Of employment, forcing down the
prices Of farm products, forcing ur
the prices Of manufactures, building
up Il moncycd aristocracy and tear
ing down the pillars Of the republic
The Ravalli Republican., 1898-03-09
A SAMPLE OF FAIRNESS.

A good many democratic papers OF
the state are quoting the following
from the indianapolis Journal, and
no doubt think they are making a
great point by 50 doing:
The most prosperous thing that
has appeared in the United States is
the Dingley law deficit, which
amounts to S5l.A01, ,S;23 for seven
mon tbs, or at the rate Of over $S3,-
100000 a year
The above is a good sample OF dem
cratic fairness in argument. And
it is an equally good sample Of demo-
ogratic theories that never come to
anything in the carrying of them
out. We do not Intend to attempt
to disprove the figures given as the
deficit, for, unlike democratic papers,
We are frank enough to admit that
we are not sure Of that. However,
we do know, and these same demo-
cratic papers also know, and that
from official SOURCES, that the revenue
under the workings of the Dingley
law have already caught up with and
exceeded the expenditures Of the
goyernment, and that instead Of a
deficit from this time on there will
he q surplus, And SO the claim or
intimation in the above that the de-
ficit will be over $S5,O00,0 at the
end of the first year, is simply a mis-
statement, to give +: nCs harsher
name. But will those same papers
which so glccfully reprint these fig
ures, proceed to tell us what was the
amount Of Of the first years deficit
under this democratic Wilson law, SO
that a fair comparison may be made.
4 table printed this week on our
first nra1gc shows that already, even
in the first seven months that they
50 hastily quote, the Dingley bill has
brought in $17 ,000,O 900 more revenue
than the Wilson bill did in it's first
seven months. 1t also shows that
With the exception Of the first month
lust before which the country wa:
flooded with goods rushed in to cvadC
the duties; the Dingley laW ha:
produced rnore revenue every month
than the Wilson law, before the frs
month of which goods were held bacl
in order to secure the lower duties
And all the world knows that during
the operation of the Wilson law the
revenue fell SO far below the expense
chat 1862, 600, 600 WoEt1l'of gold bond
had to be issued to run the govern
ment. Now, can any Of these paper:
which are making such howl about
the failure of the Dingley law, tel
their readers a single bond issue TO-
running expenses having been issue(
in the year since the republican
tpok hold? And, by the way, tn
democrats nOWlcu SN' much about
surplus in the treasury under forme
republican administrations, that in
stead OF trying to convict republican
CT the crime of creating deficits, t
bic consistent they ought to commen4
even the possibility Of what ha
been heretofore an exclusive demo
cratic prerogative.
The Ravalli Republican., 1898-03-09

If war comes the American people
will find that no matter how much
difference exists in other matters,
there will be but one party standing
for the defense of the right, and that
party will be one made up of patriots
republicans, silver republicans,
democrats and populists. There will
be no difference there. .n

Those democratic papers that are
continually bowling about the

with pleasure that eEcn the appro-
