THE PANAMA SCHEME.
Hill and Lamont Said to Have
Talked to Mckinley About 1t.

Hill and Lamont Said to Have
Talked to Mckinley About 1T.
Washington, April flames J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern, ana
Daniel Lamont. vice president of the
Northern Pacific, who are associated
with Mr.. Morgan in the latter's scheme
to purchase the rights of the French
Panama Canal company and finish
that ditch with capital furnished by an
American syndicate, called on Presi-
dent Mckinley yesterday afternoon
The ostensible purpose of the visit of
these two railway presidents was to
consult the chief executive about the
details of his trip across the continent
from the Pacific coast via their respec-
tive lines. If the subject of building
the canal with American capital was
taken up neither Mr.. Hill, Mr.. La
mont or anybody in authority to speak
for the president would talk about it.
Inasmuch, however, as the original
story about the intention of Messrs
Mill, Lamont and Morgan to- call on
the president in regard to the canal
fixed the time of their visit Thursday,
it is believed that the subject was dis
cussed at some length.

butter Preservation.

Copenhagen, April IA Danish but
termaker has discovered q new pre-
sentative which excels everything in
that line heretofore known. BY means
of this preparation it is possible to
preserve butter meats and all kinds of
pershable merchandise. Experiments
show that butter, for instance, can be
preserved, melted and cooled off again
without losing any of its freshness.
It can also be placed among goods
that are decompOsing or contain rank
odors without being affected. The
preparation is not Injurious from a
sanitary point Of view. and Will, 1t IS
believed, create revolution In the
shippiug of pershable merchandise.

MONTANA NEWS
DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

Splendid Opening for the Small
Farmer In Montana.
We do not believe there has ever
been time in the state when there
was a better opportunity for the small
farmer to prosper than now. says the
Rocky Mountain Husbandman. BY
small farmer" we mean the man who
| grows diversity of crops and depends
solely upon the local market. The man
who raises a small acreage of grain.
| Of meadow, of vegetables, fruit or
| small fruit: raises few hogs. keeps
few dozen hens. has a few mich
cows and raises u colt or two, and Is.
| in fact, In the market with something.
even though several things may fail.
The large cattle growers and Sheep
raisers. the producers of beef and NUT
| ton and wool, are, Of course. depend
ent upon the markets Of the world to
sell their products. These men bore
| with big augur, and a season of fail
ure now and then does not bankrupt
| them. But the man with from eighty
| to five hundred acres Of land cannot
| take chances. and had best diversity
| his productions SO as to be always in
the market with something. The act
| witty In the mining, manufacturing and
| numbering industries Is such that there
! Is no question about the market. and,
| generally speaking, prices are quite re.
nunerative.
Looking carefully into the situation.
I've doubt II there ever has been a bet
ter time for making money in the his
tory of the state. The product Of the
dairy, the product of the poultry yard.
the garden, the fruit orchard, the
standard fruit orchard. the swine yard.
and. in fact. all the minor products OF
the farm. are ready sale In nearly ev-
cry locality and bring very remunerat-
i've prices.

RUSSIA WILL NOT PRESS TREATY
UPON CHINA,
Will OCcrpy Nl@nchurin Until Chin.
10 Able to Guarantee Protection

mnssoA Con,mun icntetl to the
Stasc Department by the Russtnn
Government - Will Tend to unr.
mOnixe DifnculticA at Pekin nnd

Washington, April Z. Russia will
not press her treaty upon China but
Will continue to occupy Manchuria
with her troops until the situation at
Pekin is cleared up and China is able
to guarantee protection to the Russian
railroad in Manchuria.
This Information has been commune
Gated to the state department by the
Russian government. The communi.
cation is in line with the verbal assur-
ances of Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, a week ago. 1t is a
friendly response to the note of Score.
tary Hay to the Chinese government
on March 1, in which he warned that
government against entering into indi-
vidual treaties with single powers
while negotiations are pending for a
general understanding with all the
powers. A copy of that note to China
was sent to Ambassador Tower at st.
Petersburg to acquaint the Russian
government with the attitude of this
government, as it was sent to other
American ambassadors in Europe to
lay before the governments to which
they are accredited. Russia was not
called upon to reply to the note. as
it was not addressed to that govern
ment, but Russia is anxious to con.
tinue in the
Most Friendly Relations
since they have beer more nearly in
harmony in regard to China than
either has been with the other powers.
Russia has explained in detail and Of
ficially her position on the whole ques-
ton. This explanation is satisfactory
to the Washington government. 1t
shows that the attitude of Russia to-
ward Manchuria has been misrepre-
sented by some one or is now being
misrepresented by Russia herself in an
official communication to the United
States government which is not re-
garded as probable. 1t also shows that
Russia has gone beyond the strict
rules of diplomatic Intercourse to ex-
plain her position to a friendly power
and prevent the slightest break
through misunderstanding. The efforts
Of England to place Russia in false
position have failed and the two great
powers opposed to permanent garri-
sons in China will continue to act to-
gether at Pekin for a settlement that
will bring about the early evacuation
of China by all the powers. 1t is be-
lieved here that this attitude of Rus
STA will tend to harmonize differences
at Pekin and hasten a settlement.

st. Louis. April 7.-Sister Kuehn of
st. Joseph's convent has apparently
been cured of a cancer after eighteen
years of suffering at time when shs

which affected her stomach until the
nineteenth day, when she awoke from
sleep with the exclamation: II feel
no PAIN" The bandages which COW
cred the cancer We're removed and no
sore remained, only white scar.
Since then Sister Kuehn has been do
ing her routine duties and does not
suffer from the cancer. Although the
wonder was worked several days ago
the Sister made no attempt to blazOn
the supposed miracle to the world, and
it only leaked out from the closed
walls of the convent by degrees.
