THE DOOR OF CHINA.
Count Cassini Says Russia Will Keep
II Open.

Count Cassini Says Russia Will Keep
1t Open.
WASHINGTON, Nov. THE Rus
sian ambassador, Count Cassini, who
is just back from long visit to Eu-
rope, was seen at the Russian Embassy
today and talked IN a most entertain
ing manner on international questions
which have engaged public attention.
Count Cassini has been prominently
Identified of late with the Chinese sit
uation, as II has been stated that on
his return here he would make known
to the President and Secretary Hay the
desire of the Continental powers of Eu-
rope that the United States should in
dicate what port or sphere OF influence
In China 1t desires to occupy.
81 saw many prominent public men
while in Europe, including Count Mu-
ravieff," said Count Cassini, land as
sure you that this IL the first time that
l have heard that such a proposition
was to be submitted to the United
States. In my talks at st. Petersburg,
Paris and elsewhere many phases Of
the Chinese subject were discussed but
nothing to warrant any report that
individually, or with others, have any
special inquiries to make concerning
China. TO be sure. this and all other
current topics are informally dis,
cussed, but 1t can be stated positively
that | return without any special mis-
sion to perform and without instruc-
tions relating to China"
Count Cassini said it was difficult to
understand the recent agitation over
an "open door" in China.
$50 far as Russia is concerned"
said he, "her door stands open. The
great commercial port Of Talien-Wan
has been made free to the commerce OF
the world by formal proclamation.
mo determinations are made
against the commerce of foreign coun-
tries, and Russia enjoys no special
privileges at this port"
Concerning the identity of Russian
and American interests in China, Count
Cassini said Russia was now buying
rails and railroad supplies from the
United States to build the Trans-Sibe-
rian Railway through Manchuria;
moreover. the ambassador pointed out
that there as elsewhere the traditional,
friendship between the Russians and
the Americans existed.
AS to European sentiment concern
ing the South African war, Count
Cassini said: ''Of course, all Europe Is
watching this conflict with profound
interest and concern. But 1t Is the in
terest OF observers, and there Is no
suggestion or thought of any interven-
tion or move of any kind from outside
quarters. The loss of life which Is oc-
curing is particularly regrettable, and
II is to the interest of all that peace
should De speedily restored"

TWO MORE ARMY CORPS.

LONDON, Nov. S.--A Daily Mail rep
resentative Is informed that the Second
and Third Army Corps are to be imme-
diately mobilized and that division
consisting of 10000 men of the Second
Army Corps will be dispatched to South
Africa as soon as the necessary ar
raAEements can be completed. The
second Army Corps will consist in
r0and numbers of some 10000 men. 1t
Will be made up as follows: Thirty in
fantry battalions, three batteries of
Royal Horse Artillery, eighteen batter
ies of field artillery, and ten regiments
0f cavalry. The cavalry force will thus
be far In excess Of the usual proportion
0f that arm to the infantry. but 1t is
c0ncluded that the War Office proposes
70 equip a special cavalry division, a
course which the nature Of the warfare
and the character of the country in
South Africa render necessary.
The Third Army Corps, but a purely
nominal affair, will number at the out
side some $4,000 men. 1t could not be
brought up to its full strength without
the aid Of the militia. 1t will be re-
Quired for garrison purposes, as near
~ every military station In the king
dom will be denuded Of troops by the
concentration of the Second Army
Corps at Aldershot. The mobilization
Hf the Second and Third Army Corps
is absolutely without precedent. II
will. Of course. involve the calling out
Of the reserves OF those regiments

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Brigadier
General Ludlow, Military Governor of
Havana, who arrived in New York har-
Dor yesterday afternoon on the steam
er Havana and vas detained at quar-
antine, said:
Il am glad to say that the feeling of
Cubans toward Americans-whether
the military representatives OF the Gov
ernment or others-has greatly i'm
proved during recent months. The
suspicion and distrust with which per-
haps large number regarded Ameri-
cans for SO long a time after the mill
tary occupation was established, have
given way In great measure to conf
dence and cOrdiality. They are con-
vinced now, ] think, that our purposes
are honest and friendly and limited to
the organization and development
which are essential precursors of the
establishment of a stable native gov
ernment. Along with this conviction
now goes a perception of the fact that
these preliminaries are not to be ac-
complished so easily and soon as
seemed to them at first. Ihe more we
do the less there will be for them to
do, and the more auspiciously will the
republic start upon its career. The ne
cessity of doing our part Of the work
thoroughly, so that there shall be the
smallest possible chance for failure
OF Its self-government, makes 1t very
difficult to say when the military occu-
patton ought to end. There must, at
any rate, should say. be a complete
organization of civil government and
an experimental operation of It under
scme degree OF military supervision.

THE organizing Of civil govern

had for some months q complete mu-
nicipal organization and admlnistra-
tion. but under military supremacy,
which. however. is exercised no more

Automobile Club.

New York, June S.--The men interested
in automobiles met last night at the WAL
dorf-Astoria and organized the Automo-
bile club of America. George F. Cham
berlain was elected president and Homer
Nv. Hedge was made secretary. The char
ter was signed by all of the men present,
and a committee was appointed to draft
by-laws-General Smith, General Frank
Hollister and William H. Hall. William
e. Busby was elected temporary treas
ursr. The object of the club is to advance
in every legitimate way the interests of
the automobile. A club house will be
opened and a stable procured where the
vehicles can be properly cared for. 1t
is thought that much will be done to ad-
vance the cause of automobiles by secur-
ing more favorable legislation

Relieved of His Roll.

Nettie Schofield. Galena street cour-
tesan, was arrested last night for rob-
bling one Jack Shears of $50 in her re-
sort at Of East Galena street. Shears
complaint to the police was the old
story of the question touch down"
He thought himself too clever to be
robbed and went into the woman's
house with his money loose in his
clothes. When he came out it was gone
and he accused her of taking it, though
he could not tell when or how it was
done. The woman is one of the old Of
Tenders. 1t was but a short time ago
that she was arrested for robbing a
sheepherder of $175 and was let off with
a light punishment because her victim
could offer no proof.

EXPLOSION OF SKY ROCKETS.
Carried Fire Everywhere and the Entire
Plant Was Destroyed.

Plant Was Destroyed.
New York, June S.-Thirty-six build
ings, comprising the entire plant of
the Nordlfnger-Ch Charlton Fireworks
company at Granitevlle, Richmond
borough, were blown up this afternoon
and the entire plant practically wiped
out OF existence. Although the effect
of the explosion lasted for several
hours. the wreck was complete with
in few minutes. No lives were lost,
two were seriously injured. The prop
erty loss will not exceed $4,000.
The first explosion occurred in the
rocket charging room. This was a
small building about - feet square.
No one was in the building at the
time and the first intimation the Ill
employees in the works had of what
was to follow was the bursting of the
sides of the building, accompanied by
an explosion. The roof of the build
ing shot into the air and rockets ex-
ploded from all directions They car
ried the fire into all parts of the
works.
The operators in the various build
tngs rushed out into the yards The
flying rockets, many of them of the
greatest power, made it almost as
dangerous to be out of the buildings
as to be in them. Through flying
rockets burning splinters and balls of
fire the employees rushed to safety.

THE BOY DETECTIVE.
Triumph of Dime Novel Sleuth in Rea
Life.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
Once upon a time an alleged humor-
Gus writer for the press invented a per-
sonage whom he called Bill Butts, the
Boy Detective. Many stories have been
written around Bill, but none so funny
aos that which Bill Butts in real life
has sent to the Journal. This youth is
a messenger boy, and fran his Ian
guage, a fervid reader of dime novels as
well as a steady patron of the melo
drama. Here is his letter, verbatim,
save for names. and it is wonderful:
Dear Editor: I thought l would
tell you something that would open the
eyes of the public, and if the detectives
of N. Y. city watched crime instead of
pinching Dagos they would not be SO
many young guys go to ruin. The au-
thor of my story will be the Stamp
Thieves in Wall Street"
Some of the principles:
Billy Smith, the one who discovered
1t.
Jimmy Jones, his partner and is max
ing money.
Eddie Blank and Mike Lafferty, part
ners, who painted the town red all WIN
ter. and is doing it yet.
Jack Spagetti, called the Dago.
Joe Mcdonald, who Is making his
cool $50 to $500 a day, and backs ball
games in Brooklyn for $4,000 side.
Joe McDuffy. the leading sport.
Rag Time Meyers, another sport.
A Dago by the name of Flannery,

I have spent my Whole Winter get
tin this evidence.
The messenger boy sleuth has describ-
ed with great attention to detail how
the gang manipulates the stamp mar
ket, describes the acids they use to
take cancellation marks from stamps
in order to use them as new, and gives
the location of their various headquar-
tiers, then he proceeds:
The stuff they use for cumming is
called Gum Arabick, and any night
you want to see the one who is making
the money just pass along at Hicks
and Congress to Warren street, then to
Henry and Baltic, then to Sackett and
Henry, then down to the tenderloin on
Hamilton avenue and see Bluff-who
thing. Hoping you will give this room
in you paper, as like to see JUSTICE
done to them that chucks such bluff
as these here mugs does.
AS all the detectives is asleep there
is one 16-year-old boy awake, you can
bet your neck, Mr. Editor and there

You will hear from me again on some

Butte and Helena Sports Back the Wrong
Man in Foot Race.

A number of Butte and Helena sports
were roped in to the tune of about $500
on foot race last evening. A couple
OF days ago H. E. Riley, who in his
day was noted foot racer, and his day
is not so far gone came to town, Yes
terday he was picked up for a sucker
by wise one from Helena, who backed
Red Foley, local Splinter, to beat him
100 yards. The race took place after
dark at the ball grounds last evening,
and up to the time of the start Foley
was backed as though it We're all over.
Riley quietly took all bets and then
jumped out and won with ridiculous
ease. The so odd men who saw the
race, most of whom got bit, are still
wondering how they came to get so
badly up against it. For their benefit
it might be stated that Riley is one of
the old ringers at foot racing, who
makes business of relieving the over
wise of their money at just this game.

BILLINGS.
A Site offered for the Proposed New
Court House.

Court House.
Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Billings. June 7.-At a meeting of the
board of county commissioners, held this
morning, the proposition of building
new court house came up for consdera-
ton. 1t was expected by the board that
several offers for a site would be sub
mitted, but there was but one that OF
Mayor Yegen, who owns an addition to
the townsite. Mr.. Yegen offered to pur-
chase the present court house and jail
for s15,OO and donate a block of land
for site, on condition that the county
would forthwith build a court house on
the site offered to cost not less than $25'
900, A number of taxpayers were present
and by invitation of the board expressed
their opinions on the question. Most of
them objected to the proposed site as
being too removed from the business CEN
ter of the city, although all agreed that
the offer of Mr.. Yegen to purchase the
present buildings was a generous one,
and more than the board could reasonably
hope to obtain from any other source.
The commissioners appeared in favor of
Mr.. Yegens proposition, but expressed
their willingness to be guided by the
wishes Of the taxpayers. So an adjourn
ment of the question was taken to July
s. In the meantime the subject is being
warmly discussed, and may result in
counter propositions being made.
A petition, signed by 200 school electors
OF Yellowstone county, has been laid be-
fore the board of county commissioners,
praying them to submit the question of a
county free high school to vote of the
electors. No action has yet been taken,
but it is probable that such an election
will be called before the adjournment of
the board.
Among the swells who were arrested in
France in connection with the insults to
President Loubet, appears the name of
Comte de Dion. who distinguished him

the head of a policeman. The count was,
during the early eighties, a frequent visit
to- to Billings, having been interested in
cattle ranching in northern Wyoming, and
with a number of other French noblemen
made this city his headquarters. Most OF
the young men long ago returned to
France with more or less bitter expert

here they appeared to enjoy themselves

Literary Remains.

From the Philadelphia North Aneri-
can.
In burning all her literary accumula-
tions-her unpublished lectures, essays,
poems, orations and the like-Mrs.
Mary A. Livermore has set an example
which other persons of public promi-
nence would do well to follow. Nearly
every man and woman who has writ
ten much has thrown aside, either as
unworthy or as subject to future re-
vision, far more articles than he or
she has published. Immediately after
the death of a successful writer pub
fishers are eager to take advantage of
the revival of interest in his name, and
look for literary remains, regardless of
the fact that they may tarnish the fame
of the dead. Many reputation has
suffered from ill-advised posthumous
publications.
It would be wise, too for authors to
burn most of their letters. 1t is easy
to know too much of the private life of
human than the admirers of his work
are disposed to believe. Although
Shakespearean students lament the
small amount of information the world
has of his early years, it Is doubtful II
1t would be any the better for a minute
knowledge of his private life and train
ing. Geniuses are not to be made by
adopting the surroundings of great
men. while the latter remain a stronger
incentive to mankind if there is no
gossip to mar thir apparent perfection.
The world readsateo many books about
books and their writers, when there is
more profit to be had from the reading
of the original books.
