BELLAIRE.
Budget of News Items from Our
Belmont County Neighbor.


The suit Of Charles Rosser, ct al,
against T. 0. Nj. Davis, ct al, was be-
gun in Common Pleas Court yesterday
morning. This suit is one of a number
growing out of the alleged bucket shop
run by defendants where several well
known Bellaire people have invested
their money. Some say the aggregate
would amount to $4,000, but after the
sinking of the Maine and the war with
Spain, the bucket shop people quietly
left the city between two days. Much
interest is being manifested in this suit
and good talent is employed on both
sides. Tallman and Armstrong, of
Bellaire, represent the plaintiffs, and
N. X. and A. w. Kennon, of ST. Glars
vile, and Thomas Shay, of Cincinnati,
the defendants. This is the first case
of this kind ever tried in Common
Pleas Court of this county.

China q Vast Trade Field,

At the present time American COM
merCe in China should be more than
that Of the shopkeepng kind. There
are new opportunities for vast spec
ulations and strong syndicates. This
is the period of concessions, or organ
izing for opening up the resources of
that large empire. This is more than
selling behind counter. And here
Americans are liable to lose a magnifi-
cent opportunity. Along with the in
creased political influence of European
countries have come increased CONNER
cial privileges. Our political power has
failed to defend our commercial inter-
ests: and our commercial men have
disliked the Chinese so much that they
have failed to Seize-even to See-the
new openings in China at the most
Opportune hour. Russia has secured
both railroad and mining concessions
in Manchuria. Germany has secuSed
the same in Shantung. England has
secured mining concessions in Shansi
and other privileges in central China.
Both France and England have secur-
ed privileges in southern China.
America-where is she? Two great
railroad lines-one between Perrin and
Hankow the other between Tientsin
and Chinkiang-could have been built
by Americans; but, notwithstanding
this special opportunity, European ma
tons have pressed forward to secure
these privileges for their own people.
Though these great concessions may
go to others. there may still be an op-
pOrtunity for American materials to be
used in connection Herewith. This will
depend on the amount of support
which the United States government
and American merchants give to the
open door" policy which has thus Var
been advocated by the British govern
ment alone. Already many of the most
energetic supporters of British interests
abroad have turned from the "open
door" policy to the policy of special
spheres of influence" Unless the Unit
ed States at once actively lends it's
strength to help maintain the position
taken by the British government in in
ssting on an open door all over China,
in accordance with the treaties which
China has made with the different
countries. American commerce will be
placed at disadvantage in the splen-
did market of that vast population, not
by reason of any antipathy to China,
but through restrictions imposed upon
us by the presumptive claims of Rus

REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT
The Great Northern Sal d to Hav
Declined Five Cars of Matte.
MAY Be FIXED UP TODAY
The Refusal Alleged to Be Because the
Authority of Receiver Kinds Is Cues
toned and the Road Wanted
the Freight Prepaid.

A report was received from Great
Falls yesterday that the Great North
ern had refused to accept freight from
Receiver Kinds of the Boston & Mon
tana, five cars of matte having been
| rendered the road. The news was no
surprise in Butte, as something like it
had been expected. In fact, it was
| stated at Helena on Tuesday that the
| road would haul nothing for the receiv-
err unless charges were advanced. Maj
| or Dawson, general agent of the Great
! Northern, was seen at a late hour last
night and stated that he had no infor-
! nation on the subject, and did not
know why the cars Of matte were re-
fused at Great Falls. He said no re-
quest had been made of the road by
the receiver at Butte 10 haul ore, and
no refusal had been made.
Assistant General Freight Agent Gray
was quoted as saying later that the
matter would probably be settled salts
factorily to-day. One Of the attorneys
for the HeinZe interests was seen and
declared that he did not know the rea-
son of the roads refusal to haul the
matte, but had an idea that it was part
of the general fight against the receiv-
err, and stated that if the road persisted
an action would be brought in court to
compel the road to haul freight. 1t APP
pears that the receiver had notice that
the road would refuse to haul ore and
supplies for him because of the fact
that his authority as receiver was ques-
tionable, and his responsibility for the
charges uncertain, and the tender of
the five cars Of matte at Great Falls
was made as a test and for the purpose
of taking the matter into court in case
1t was refused. 1t is probably that
there will be further developments to-
day.
Receiver Kinds stated yesterday that
he did not know when he would be able
to resume operations at the mines.
