RUSSIA AGAINST OUR CANAL
The Government Urged to Support
the Panama Measure.
IS BITTER AGAINST AMERICA.
A ST. Petersburg Paper Says All Has
Changed by the War With Spain and
Americas New Territory in the Far
East

PARIS, Dec 31.-The New York
Herald's European edition prints the
following: Russia is evidently begin
ming campaign against the Nicaragua
canal. The Novoe- Vremya of st.
Petersburg publishes an article not
only warmly advocating the Panama
scheme, but filed with bitter dislike
of the United States. The writer says
the predorninancc of the United States
would have been desirable for Russia
few years ago, but all this has
changed since the last war.
The writer goes on to say that, hav-
ing despoiled poor Spain, the United
States has become colonial party and
an Asiatic power.
Forgetting the Monroe doctrine of
America for Americans, which implies
the other doctrine that American do
minion must be confined to America,
the Yankees" he says, 'aro now en-
tering into open competition with us
in China and Corea, They have no
scruples over an alliance with their
traditional enemy, England, and with
Japan for this purpose.
For this reason Russian finan,ers
and diplomatists ought to give their
support to the French undertaking
when it comes to seriously regarding
the naturalization of the Panama
canal and placing it under the general
control or the guarantee of the Euro
pean and American powers.
The writer declares the Panama
route would be more beneficial to Rus
STA than the Nicaragua route.
This latter canal" he adds, "even
supposing it's completion possible,
would be a purely American undertake
ing, whereas the Panama canal re-
mains in the hands of our allies, the
French or it may become an interna-
tional enterprise, with the addition of
a strong American element to its share
holders.
Russia must, therefore, be on her
guard against the United States, es-
pecially in view of the enormous
wealth of it's Pacific shores and the
stratcgical position occupied ty Amer
leans in the Sandwich, the Philippine,
the Samoan and the Mariana islands. "

AMBASSADOR ROMERO DEAD
Appendicitis Fatal to the Mexican
Ambassador to America.
AN ABLE DIPLOMAT GONE,
Ills Diplomatic Carcor In Washington
Began Forty Years Ago-Was u Warm
Friend OF Lincoln and Grant and Ono
OF Mexlco's Wiscst Patriots.

WASHINGTON, Sec. 81, -Scnor Don
Matias Romero, the Mexican ambassa-
dor to the United States, died at the
embassy here at 4:10 o'clock this morn
| ing. Wednesday an operation for ap-
pendicitis was performed upon the am
bassador, and, although the operation
was entirely successful, the resulting
shock proved greater than he could
bear.
For the last thirty years Romero
has been one of the leading officials of
the various COVE fnments of Mexico.
AS early as 1s59-during the admins
tration of President Buchanan-he
was connected with the Mexican lega-
tion.\ lie was at that time only 30
years of age. Before he was 25 he had
charge of the interests of Mexico in
the United Soates. He was secretary
of the Mexican treasury during the
administrations of Juarez, the first
president of Mexico, and Diaz, when
he succeeded Juarez; was member of
the Mexican congress, an officer in the
Mexican army, and then again minis
ter, and, later, ambassador to the
United States. He was known in
Washington as one of the shrewdest
and ablest of the foreign diplomatists.
The most important treaties with Mex
leo were made by the United States
through Senior Romero.
He had many friendships among
prominent Americans. Among them
was a strong attachment between Gen
eral Grant and him. He also was on
intimate terms with President Lincoln
and Secretary Seward. In 1868, when
he returned to Mexico, Secretary Sew
ard furnished him United States
government vessel as mark of dis
tinction.
The legation was, by a concurrent
arrangement Of the two governments,
within the last month, raised to the
grade of an embassy, and next Tues
day had been fixed upon as the day
when Senior Romero was to present
his credentials to President Mckinley
as ambassador extraordinary and
plenipotentiary. He was frequent
contributor to the magazines of this
country, combining his labors to ar
ticles relative to Mexico. During the
last few months the first volume of a
work from his pen appeared, entitled,
"Mexico and the United States" 1t
was study of subjects affecting their
political, commercial and social re-
lations

NOT TO PAY COLLINS POLICIES
One Company Holds Murder Invalidates
Insurance for All Bcneficiaries.

insurance Tor All BCnenClArleS.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec 31.-The Pre-
ferred Accident Insurance company,
one of the companies which carried
S., 200 insurance on the life of j. S.
Collins in favor of John Henry Collins
and Grace Collins jointly, and was
sued because it refused to pay, has
flied an answer which indicates an in
tention to fight the claims of all bene-
ficiaries alike.
The answer denies that the plaintiff
has made proof of loss as provided in
the policy and denies that the com
pany has waived the production of such
proof; it sets forth the facts of the ar,
rest, trial and conviction of John
Henry Collins for the murder of his
father, and refers to James s. Collins
as having been murdered by John II.
Collins, one of the bcnefciaries of this
policy"
The next clause, which is the vita.
part of the answer, is as follows:
THE defendant, for further defense,
alleges that the plaintiffs, John Henry
Collins and Grace NJ. Collins, have an
equal, joint and undivided interest in
said policy, and that by reason of the
facts above alleged, said policy has be-
come void and the plaintiffs cannot re-
cover thereon" Because one of the
benefciaries is convicted of the crime
of numbering the holder of the policy,
it is claimed that the policy is rem
dered void for all the other benefici-
aries as we'll as for the one so con-
victed.

MORMON REPLIES TO CHARGES
President Snow Enters Controversy Re-
garding IL. ii. Roberts.

garding Il. II. Roberts.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 81. In con-
nection with the election of Is. IL.
Roberts to Congress and certain
charges circulated by the Presbyterian
board of missions, President Lorenzo
Snow of the Mormon church has fur
nished a signed statement to the press
here, in which he says in part
81 declare most solemnly and en-
phatically that the statements which
are being published to the effect that
the Mormon church is encouraging
and teaching polygamy arc utterly un-
true. Ever since the issuance of tho
manifesto on this subject by President
MILFORD Woodruff, my predecessor in
office, polygamous or plural marriages
have entirely ceased in Utah. Since
my accession to the presidency of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints | have repeatedly asserted my
intention to stand by that manifesto,
and my determination not to permit
any marriages to take place under the
sanction of the church which is con-
trary to the law of the state, and |
now reaffirm that statement.
1.-The election of Mr.. b. Ii. Roberts
to the Office of representative in Con-
gress from Utah was an entirely secu-
lar affair Non Mormons participated
in his nomination in the regular con-
vention of his party. Nom Mormons
also aided in his election. Many Nor
mons not being of his party voted for
his opponent. He was elected as an
American citizen, and the question
of religion did not enter into the
purely political contest. The church
has nothing to do with the action
of Congress in relation to his
seat. If, however, notice is to be
taken of the wild statements and anti
Mormon fulminations from the pulpit
and the press to the effect that Mr..
Roberts has violated the state legis-
lation and the requirement of the
enabling act, it is proper for me to
state, as l do most positively, that
the charge which, incidentally, affects
the church of which we are both MEM
bers, is entirely without foundation in
fact.
If he should be unscated, the re-
suit to polygamy would be no differ
ent. There have been no polygamous
marriages since 1890. There is no
movement in the church for the re-
vival of such unions. am personally
opposed to any such change My as
sociates in the leadership of the
church unite with me in this determ-
ination."

M'CRlLLlS TO GO TO JAIL.
A Justice Holds GlnIlan's Slayer with
out Bail.

A Justice Holds Gllfllan's Slayer with
out Bail.
CARTHAGE, Mo-, Dec. 3i.--The argu-
ments in the preliminary hea ring of
John d. McCrillis, charged with the
murder OF w. j. Gilfllan, were COM
pletcd at o'clock last night and at 10
o'clock this morning Justice Garland
rendered his decision, holding the de-
PENDANT without bail.
Attorney Gray created something of
a sensation by charging the justice
with having been imposed upon by
letting himself be taken to the home
of Mrs. Gilfillan, widow of the dead
man, for the signing of her testimony.
'Tho attorneys for the prosecution
were there" said he, "but neither l
nor John McCrillis knew anything
about it. But l do not blame you.
They took advantage of your age and
condition"
The eyes of the venerable justice
filed with tears as he said: II had
no intention of doing anything wrong.
l only went there to save her from
having to come down town again. 1t
was at my suggestion it was done and
/ take all the blame"
Rising from his seat the justice
turned to McCrillis and said: "John, 1
have tried to do my duty in this mat
ter, to which McCrillis replied with a
firm voice: ut is all right, Uncle
Tommy. have no complaint to offer"
Attorney Gray announced that just
as soon as the evidence could be signed
application would be made to Judge
Perkins of the circuit court for bail.
The defendant will not be committed
to Jail till the testimony is all signed.
The case cannot so to Judge Perkins
before Monday, probably, and SO Nc
Crillis, it is expected, will spend Sum
day, at least, in jail

POSTS TO BE ABANDONED.
Forts Lsavonworth and Crook Likely to
Bo No Moro.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Sit is practi-
eally decided that number of the
| Western military posts will be aban-
doned when the army is increased, and
that this contemplated arrangement
includes the abandonment, among
others, of Fort Leavenworth and Fort
Crook, at Omaha. From what can be
learned at the War Department as to
the yet imperfect plans touching this
matter, neither of these forts will be
permanently abandoned at present,
but will be denuded of their troops
until the services of portion of the
troops now nee ded for garrison duty
in the Philippines and in Cuba and
Porto Rico can be dispensed with and
the troops returned to the military sta
lions in this country.
Among other infantry stations af-
fected are jefferson barracks at st.
Louis; Fort Smelling, Mimi. Fort
Sheridan, H., and Columbus barracks,
Ohio.
The intention of the military au-
thorities to garrison places in the
Philippines as soon as possible and the
necessity that will come of mastering
out large number of volunteers when
peace is formally declared will COM
pei the war department to send prac.
tically all it's regular infantry and
some of the artillery and cavalry out
of the country.
Posts adjacent to Indian reservations
will be maintained for cavalry de-
tacbments, and practically all the bat
teries of the seven artillery regiments
certainly all the heavy batteries
will be kept at the coast stations. The
artillery will be very much scattered,
however. Probably no regiment will
be kept intact at one post.

inasmuch as all the new ministers are

liberate the Spanish prisoners. 1t is
added that the Filipinos will never re-

of Filipinos are dying in the Spanish
