Russia's Diplomacy.

WARRINGTON, April 5-Russia has
startled the diplomatic world again
by move which occupied the time
OF the Cabinet largely today.
The Gar has shrew1Iy sought to
remove oil possible international
cause OF objection to his demand for
treaty with China by inviting the
approval Of the powers
This the President and Secretary
Hay regard as triumph for Am 'ri-
can diplomacy inasmuch as in the
note OF the United States to China
which has evidently reached Rlssis,
the United State, made the point
that there should be no agreement
between China aud any other iu.
dividual power except on the ap-
proval of the concert
Russia has now answered in writ
ing, as she has heretofore answered
verbally through Count Cassini, that
Russia propoeed to make the treaty
with China merely for the protec-
tion Of Russian interests aud for the
GRADUAL" withdrawal OF Russia
from Manchuria
The distinct and bold proposition
of Russia now is substantially: Will
the powers who have criticized Rus
sia's good faith and intentions now
insist on bringing China to terms2
Either way the interrogatory ia
answered will be agreeable TO- Rus
sia.
If the powers object they must
state categorical y that they distrust
Russia or declare that shs must get
out OF Msnchuria by some other
means than treaty.
II the powers agree TO tie coer-
cion of China, Russia will remain in
Manchuria as at present, but will
6nd pretext to remain alter any
specific Limitation by treaty. r
After all the cards OF the powers
have been played Russia still has in
reserve the right to declare war or
China. .>.,....
China, it is admitted, made war or
Russia when the Emperor ordered
troops across the Amur river into
Russian territory and attacked the
-torces OF the Czar. Russia has mol
declared war on China, but he
right is always pending, and il the
conflict comes the other nations
must step aside, as the causs O
the quarrel is one exclusively will
which China anh Russia have to do
1t is we'll known that in the EVEN
of such a war the indemnity TO b,
paid Russia will be the province 0
Mauchuria. Rlssia would demaut
this 10 order to put an eternal bar
rier between Siberia aud China
The mospere in China has never
theless been cleared up for the pres
ent in Manchuria pending the mex
move OF the powers, and this eu
abled the Cabinet today to take al
optimistio view of the situation.
Russia blandly tells the Unite'
States that while she holds Man
cburia by treaty or otherwise, sh
will guarantee the open door. Thi
is rsassuring, as the United State
and the other powers hold tina
Manchuria is not a Russian posse.

NEVER SEEN BY WHITE MEN
One third of the Dominion Is as a
Sealed Book-Labrador Peninsula
Almost Totally Unknown-Railways
to Be Built to Open Up Vast Min

(By Associated PresS.)

Washington, May 3.-The director OF
the geological survey Of Canada in his
report makes the amazing statement that
practically nothing is know of one-third
of the Dominion. So states United
States Consul Seyfert at Stratford. in
a report to the state department.
1t is SHOWN that more than million
and quarter square miles of Canadian
territory Is yet explored. This includes
the inhospitable d tached Arctic portions
but, aside from these, fully 954 900 square
miles are for all practical purposes en-
tire1y unknown.
The easterly era contains the greatest
extent of the unexplored territory. 1t
comprises almost the entire interior of
the Labrador peninsula. The indications
are. he says, that during the next five
years at least 5000 miles of new railroad
will be completed throughout the Domin-
ion, most of which will run through the
unexplOred wilderness. as it is recognize
ed that railroads are essential to the
opening up of this vast territory.
The mineral wealth of this region is
said to he undoubtedly immense, While
the dense forests of hardwood are az

then the mines will reopen. 1t is learn-

Mr.. O'Shea has made public the fol-
lowing announcement over his signatures:
I'VE have nothing to say, but that we
have had instructions to stp work for the
present. We have had no difference, or
discussion or contention with the men.
The relations between this company and

pleasant nature. The company is satls-
fled with its employees, and it always
aims to treat them fairly and justly.
Il do not know for how long we may
be shut down.
tSigned) ID O'Shea."
Another report from Red Lodge states
that the closing down of the mines was
caused by the company men who work by
the day demanding ten hours pay for
eight hours work. The closing of the
mines throws over five hundred mep out
of work, and as Red Lodge is kept up
principally by them, it is a matter OF
much concern to the merchants as we'll as
others of that town.

ated new scale under which the leaders
We're to go to work Wednesday morning,

Only about one hundred men are effect

Billings. May 3.-News has been re-
ceived here of the shutting down of the
mines of Red Lodge and Bridger, and it
was not long until all kinds of reports
We're out as to the cause
The information that comes to your
correspondent is to the effect that the
agitation Of strike talk is the cause of the
trouble at Red Lodge, while change in
the arrangement of pay at Bridger is the
other cause.
One report from Red Lodge is to the
effect that the mines shut down Tuesday
night but that it was not caused by any
trouble or differences, as none exist be-
tween the miners and the company nor
did the eight hour law have anything to
do with it.
This authority stated it was generally
believed that the shut down was the re-
suit Of agitation and talk of strike,
had the mines paid May under the new
law, when it was expected the hours and
wages alike would be cut down. 1t is
believed that the company took this
means to protect itself. The agitation
was not among the miners, for they were
satisfied with conditions and were work
ing harmoniously with the company. but
it is believed that the trouble was caus-
ed by outsiders who gave impetus to ld'e
talk.
The local manager of the company, H.
J. O'Shea, is quoted as saying that he ex-
poets to receive instructions from B. r.

The Morgan purchase includes the
various Leyland services, except that be-
tween Liverpool and the st. Lawrence. A
private cable says that for five days the
Leyland line held off for the Canadian
business, insisting that they should be
permitted to run their steamers to Port
land, Maine, If not to Boston, during the
time that navigation on the st. Lawrence
is closed by ice. A compromise was ef-
fected, whereby Portlad was omitted
and the demand for Canadian route
granted. This means that for eight
months of the year the Leylands will
maintain a passenger and freight service
between Liverpool and Montreal.

Representatives of the North German
