CANNOT SIGN.
China So Notifies Russia Re-
garding Manchuria.
Explains that It Is Owing to the At
titude of the Powers.
Demands on China Practically Decided OF,
With Exccpiion Of lndemnitics.

Pekin, April 3-The Chinese govern
mcnt has formally notified Russia that
China. owing to the attitude of the
powers, is not able to sign the Man-
churian convention.
1T is China desire" says the formal
notification Ito keep on friendly
terms With all nations. At present she
is going through a period which is the
most perilous in the empires history.
and it is necessary that she should
have the friendship Of all.
However much she might be willing
to grant any special privilege 70 one
power, when others object, it is impos
sible that for the sake of making one
nation friendly. she should ALLEVIATE the
sympathies of all others.
Ii Hung Chang says this letter set
ties the matter definitely and that
Russia was informally notified to the
same effect March 20. Prince Ching
asserts that every Chinaman except Ii
Hung Chang was against signing the
convention.
SO soon as the generals of the pow
crS notify the ministers as to what dis
position is desired of Articles VII and
TX of the protocol. everything will be
practically concluded except the in
IDENTITIES, the only claims not ready
being the British, German and Japa-
nesc. The Gcrmgns say they can be
ready in two days and the Japanese
assert that they can be ready at a mo-
mcnt's warning. Private claims how
ever, can be filed until May IA.
A ma joIity of the ministers are in
favor of making gcncSal claim so
so soon as the government claims are
in. making allowances for few thous-
ands for possible future claims.
Lii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
have sent to the court for approval Il
list of names presented by the minis
tiers of the powers for punishment. The
death list has been reduced to four
names for degradation and to 81 for
loss of office. No objection is antici-
pated. as the men are only prominent
in local communities.
Washington. April 3.-Great interest
was manifest in official and diplomatic
circles, tonight. over The Associated
Press report from Pekin that the Chin
ese finally had determined not to sign
the Manchurian agreement. No Off
cial information had reached this gov
eminent or the principal foreign en-
bassies.
To the Russian ambassador
Count Cassini. the news came
as great surprise. as he had
hoped for Il successful conclusion of
the convention. The ambassador de-
clined in the absence of official ad-
vices to indicate what probably would
be the future course of his government

A Devoted Mother.

Although looked upon as vermin and
destroyed accordingly. the weasel is
II good mother and probably treats her
young ones more kindly than many
of her human enemies treat theirs. A
weasel, carrying something in her
mouth, was once seen to enter hole in
tree. The observer, applying lighted
straw, soon smoked her out She then
darted toward n stone wall, near which
she was attacked by Il terrier, which
speedily slew her. She fell an easier
victim because of the burden she bore
in her teeth. Anxious TO see what this
was, the onlooker went forward and
found ii was baby weasel. The moth
er's nest in a field close by had been
plowed up, and she had been searching
for another home. As her youngster
could not run she carried It I'm her
mouth rather than leave 1t to perish.

College football, during the season
recently closed had no worthier repre-
sentatives than the students Of the
Carlisle Indian School, in the essen
tials Of manliness and sportsmanlike
conduct generally. The games in which
they engaged were as many and as
flercely contested as those of any other
college team, and the spectators, in
some instances, were neither SO con-
siderate nor so sympathetic as they
might have been. Yet their games
were exhibitions of clean, straight foot
ball-such as all true lovers of the
sport like to see. The umpire's de-
cisions were never once questioned,
and their defeats were accepted with
the spirit of men who had done their
best, and who had, therefore, neither
excuses nor explanations to Offer
