Great Britain Protests Against
Treaty with Russia or Any
Other Country.
SINGLE PACTS WILL NOT Be PERMITTED
Great Britain, Japan and the
United States in Formal OPPOSE
ton to Plans of Russia-AmericanN
Begged to Remain.

Washington, March 2s.-The British
government has protested against
China's making a convention with any
power touching territorial or fnan-
cial affairs until the present troubles
in that country are concluded. The
fact of the British protest was made
known here for the first time
Wednesday by dispatch from one
of the foreign offices of Europe. 1t
says that the protest was made
through Sir Ernest Satow, the Brit
ish minister at Peking. It does not
state when the representations were
made, but from the fact that the dis
patch was received in Washington
Wednesday it is taken that the pro-
test occurred within the last day or
two. Although the Russian agree
ment is not specifically referred to,
it is said to be clear that the British
action is directed against the Rus
sian agreement. The language APP
pears to be similar to that used by
Secretary Hay in the American pro-
test. The effect of the British action
is to place the United States, Japan
and Great Britain in formal opposi-
ton to the signing of convention
by China with any power pending
the settlement of the Chinese
troubles. The course of Great Britain
is the more significant from the fact
that that government and Germany
have a written alliance relating to
Chinese affairs.

Washington, March 2s.-Count Cas-

MONEY ORDERS TO CANADA.
Domestic Rates Will Be Applied Be-
tween the Two Countries.

WASHINGTON, April 9-An arrange
ment mas just been concluded between
the United States and Canada. under
winch all postal moneys sent between
TINS county and Canada will go at the
domestic rate of three-tenths of i per
cent, instead of the international rate Of
1 per cent. This concession is regarded
as more important to the money order
business than any action taken since the
inception of the system. Negotiations
mad been in progress for some time. be-
tween the respective postal a Allnistra-
ton, looking to the further unilication of
the postal systems of the United States
and Canada, with respect to the money
order business. The money orders an.
nually sent to Canada now aggregate
about 81, 100000 and in the other direction
a little less than that amount The ex-
change of these orders is now restricted
to 1000 offices in this country, but under
the new arrangement will be extended
to 10000 offices in this country, any mon
ey order office in either country being
thus authorized to issue or pay them.
1t is expected that the radical reduc-
ton in the rate will treble the business
The reduction is especially important to
business interests along the border 1t
is probable that similar arrangements
will be made with the Philippines, Cuba
and elsewhere.

NERVE OF TIE MILL CITY
BILL TO INCREASE STRENGTH AND
NUMBER OF HENNEPIN'S
DELEG ALTON
TWO ADDITIONAL MEMBERS
Proposition to Reapportion the
County Slipped Through the
Committee Safely, but Will
Be Defeated.

Minneapolis members of the house are
/ ginning to congratulate themselves up
! on their success in woodworking some OF
their colleagues, particularly those from
! Ramsey county, with regard to a certain
bill which has been favorably acted upon
by the committee on reapportionment,
but it may turn out that the congratula-
lions were ventured too early in the
game.
Two bills have been introduced in the
house relating to reapportionment in the
state legislative districts One of these
gives an additional representative in, both
branches to the three counties, Lincoln,
Lyon and Yellow Medicine. now repre-
scented by two house members and one
in the senate. The other bill gives to
each forty-second and forty-third dis
tricts, which are in Minneapolis, a new
representative. Both bills came out or
the committee with a recommendation
for passage
There seems to be no contention as to
rights of the western counties claims.
The members are agreed, it seems, that
this request should be acceded to and
hence that the bill should pass. But
as to the addition of two representatives
to the Minneapolis contingent, there IS a
vivacious opposition, which Is gaining
strength the more the proposition is dis
cussed. While there has been no out
ward discussion on the topic there has
been great deal of private talk, and
yesterday reporter for the G l o b e was
informed that the bill would fare very
differently in the house to what it did
in the committee 1t is a puzzle to
some members to account for the favor
able recommendation of the committee
The Minneapolis members no doubt did
some very effective work.
Members, not alone from St. Paul, but
from other parts of the state, who are
opposed to the BILL claim that there are
other districts just as much entitled to
additional representation as the two Min
neapolIS districts. 1t was tacitly agreed
to at the beginning of the term. that
there would be no general reapportion-
ment of the legislative districts, and I'M
less this agreement is to be revoked,
which is highly improbable, tn. legisIa-
tors will not stand for the increase of
power by the largest delegation in the
state. 1t is stated by Mime apolis men,
bers that if their bill passes. the two
new representatives would have a con-
stltuency each of about Is 900. '"This does
not make the districts as they are now,
any larger and more cumbersome than
some Others" said a gentleman from the
northeast part of the state yesterday Il
do not believe" he continued ''th-t the
Hennepin county people can convince this
house of the justice or legitimate demand
OF this bill. My opinion is that it will
be voted down, as it should be. do not
see how 1t ever got past the committee
in the first place."

Resolution Drawn Up I'm Which OBJ

Pending Are Set
Forth.

The board Of school inspectors is
against the bills now before the legis-

books. and last night at it's regular
monthly meeting passed the following
resolution, to be presented TO every
member of the Ramsey delegations:
we, the board of school inspectors, tho
principals and teachers of the ST. Paul
public schools
Believing, that the bills now before
Inc ID = legislature ISL known as S. r. 1914 and
III. F. 602, proposing that a commission
be appointed for the purpose of seIectinS
a uniform list of text books for use
throughout the state of Minnesota, MAX
ing the purchase of selected text books
compulsory, and fixing a maximum price,
would be injurious to the progress of ed
ucatlon in Minnesota, for the following
reasons:
store the Merrill text book law. which
was very unsatisfactory
2 It virtually repeals the free text
book law, under which many of our dis
trlctS are working to their satisfaction
3. 1t provides for authorizing five men
TO select looks for our 1000 schools. and
IT would be impossible for them to con-
slider the special needs Of different sec
tiers, and would substitute this small
committee for tho 1900 trustees now dis
charging this duty.
4 Practically the same plan has been
tried in the states of Kansas, Indiana
and California, and has proven wholly
unsatisfactory to the educators of those
states.
g. So far as we can learn no educator
of the state favors the bill, but, or .he
contrary, every teacher acquainted with
the provisions of the bill, is actively OPP
posing it.
Plans were submitted for the proposed
annex to the Longfellow school by A F.
Gage. The plans provide for an eight
room annex, four rooms to be on the
