There has never been a president

partisan bitterness and animosity.
He had opponents to his policies
but has been skillful in avoiding
personal differences of a serious

not upon M Mckinley, but a blow
at the government Of which he was

Opposed Scaling the Indsn- nity Required of the
 Chinese
RUSSIA ESTEEMS AMERICANS
Her Ministers Claim That America's' Plan Was Not Feasible-lt Was t.hat European Countries
 Accustomed To.

St. Petersburg June 15.-It can be stated on good authority that Russia anticipated an early settlement of the pending differ ences concerning the mode of payment of the Chinese indemnity. Russia's position is that any method Is acceptable which does not conflict with the basis principles of Russian policy. Russia found objec- tions to the British plan, but not to the bond plan in itself opposing all fortifica- tions, condominium or enlarged control of the Chinese finances: but, nevertheless, she would not consider the matter of a commission to receive and divide the funds available for payment in compensa- tion of the demands as an undue en- croachment upon Chinese authority. It is learned that the powers generally replied to the American arbitration proposition that the question was too complicated. The matter of the amount is considered here as closed.
 The powers presented their accounts and declined to assent to the American proposition to scale them down, and Chi- na agreed to pay the demand and a ser- maj resolution by the ministers in confer ence Is necessary.
 It may be said that the Russian inabil- ity to see every detail in the same light as the Americans does not indicate differ ences in their ultimate aims. Russia con tinues to esteem American friendship as highly as ever and responsible officials | speak with genuine pleasure, not only of the cordiality between the govern ments, but also O. the kindly disposition | of the American people toward Russia as

Community of Interest.

Chicago, June 15.-The Tribune tomor- row will say:
 ''E. H. Hartman was the directing fig ure in two movements begun yesterday and which are expected to affect every railroad running West of Chicago and St. Paul.
 What was held to be the first step to- ward a composite agreement between the great roads running west of these cit ies, was perfected at a conference held here between Mir. Hartman and officials of the companies concerned.
 By it's terms an ironclad agreement to end rate wars and other complications is expected to be spread over the roads in the northern. group, including Northern Pacific, the Burlington, the Milwaukee & St Paul, the Union Pacific. the North western and the Great Northern lines.
 To the southwest the Santa Fe will op- crate hand in hand with the Southern Pacific. It will be a community of fn- terests' plan, and provides that the Pa cifc Mail. and Occidental Steamship Lines, controlled by the Southern Pa cific, shall take care. of the Santa Fe's trans-Pacific business. ...
 conbining of Roads.
 The other move. directed by MT. Harri- man was the practical provision for the transfer of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul to the Harriman syndicate and the turning of this line into link of the Union Pacific system. This plan was ar ranged at a secret conference held at the Auditorium Annex attended by many rail- way men and a number of bankers. Lit tie doubt is entertained that the syndi- cate has acquired control of the Milwau- kee and St. Paul on practically the same lines that J. J. Hill secured control of the Burlington. The stock of the St. Paul road will be taken over by the Union Pacific at the October meeting. It is re- ported that the stockholders of the for mer line will be offered $2OO of 4 per cent bonds for every S100 worth. of stock and that the bonds will be guaranteed by the Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Missouri Pacific and the Goulds, who are said to be parties to the transaction
 Certain large stockholders of the St. Paul, it is said, have sold or agreed to sell stock amounting to about $25,OO0, GOO par value. Peter Geddes is said to be directly concerned in this deal, along with James Henry Smith and Wm. Rocke- feller, all of whom are directors.
