THE MANcHURIAN MArrER.

Satisfaction at Washington.

Washington, April THE determ-
nation of the Russian government not
| to press to a conclusion the negotia-
lions begun some time ago with the
Chinese government in regard to Man.
churia. has naturally given great graf
ification to the government of the
United States. The president is under
stood to recognize in this act of the
ear another proof of his sincere re-
gard for the harmony with the pow
ers now engaged in negotiations in
China, and his determination to do
nothing to impede the speedy and sat
isfaetory conclusion of these negotia-
tons. In this view it is an act worthy
of the enlightened sovereign who mi
tiated the conference at The Hague,
The government of the United States
is especially gratified by this termina-
ton OF the late complication, as it
has constantly been in harmony with
that of Russia in all the mann points
of our policy in China. 1t is the be-
lief generally entertained in govern
ment circles in Washington that no
motive can be assigned for this res
o%lution, except the desire to preserve
the concert of the powers, as it was
clearly within the discretion of Rus
STA to pursue whatever our that
government thought best for it's in
terest, and it may be said with abso-
lutte certainty that nothing in the way
of pressure or combination has been
made upon the Russian government
to induce this result 1t is true the

Trust Can Not Meet the
Demand.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 6.-The Amer
lean Sheet Steel Co. has issued orders
to put in operation four sheet mills
and two steel bar mills at the Falcon
plant, Niles, o., which have been idle
for about a year. The demand for
sheet steel has become so large re-
Gently that the trust can not meet it,
and this is the cause of the new &C
tivity displayed. The plants hat had
been partly abandoned will also be
started up as soon as they can be got
ready, among them the old Salisbury
factory, the works at Scottdale, the
plant at Piqua, o., and another at
Hyde Park, this state. Sheet workers
are said to be scarce, and with these
additional plants in operation there
will be a big demand for men.

UTTER DECENTRALIZATION.
Specimen of Conditions Following
the Abolition Of the Canteen
at Array Posts.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE demon
alization that has followed the aboli-
ton of the army canteen car be seen
outside the gates of the Preside.
The long line of cheap saloons
along Lion street is daily filed with
soldiers from the reservation across
the way, who, having no canteen OF
their own, frequent these places.
In them may be seen hundreds of
soldiers, many of them drunk. They
cluster at the wet bars; they lie along
the benches; they stand in punches on
the sidewalk, and some sit with their
legs in the gutter.
Capt. Evans of Co. D, Eighteenth
infantry did not require a descrip-
ton of the orgie; he had seen it be-
fore.
'"Fhe abolition of he canteen,' lie
said, "has increased the percentage
of misconduct among the soldiers sta
toned at the Preside at the rate of
from 200 to 300 per cent, and that is
a mild estimate"

GRAIN ELEVATOR BURNED.
Building Contained Eight Hundred
Thousand Bushels of Grain
Loss, $65O,00O.

st. Louis, April s.-Sparks from a
switch engine shortly after noon on
Sunday set fire to the big elevator at
the loot of Biddle street, owned by
the st. Louis Elevator and Storage
Co., and within less than two hours
the building was reduced to ashes, en-
failing a loss of nearly six hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. III. C. Haar-
stick, president of the company, said
the building and the contents, which
consisted of about eight hundred thou
sand bushels of wheat and corn, were
fully insured.
1t was his opinion that the loss of
the grain would not affect the local
market
The building vas about one hundred
and seventy-fve feet in height, prob
ably 100 feet wide and about four
hundred and fifty feet long. 1t had a
capacity of 100000 bushels of grain,
and was built in 1870. Wood was used
almost exclusively in its construction,
and when the blaze one gained head
way the enormous building, with it's
heavily-loaded bins of grain, settled
down and melted away like kindlirg
wood in a redhot furnace.
Fully 10000 people witnessed the
confagration and watched with inter-
est he vigorous fight made by the
majority of the companies of the fire
department of ST. Louis. Had there
been ever the slightest breeze stirring
from the east much difficulty would
have been experienced in saving the
buildings of the Beck & Corbitt Iron
Co., the Laclede Power Co.'s ~six-story
brick structure and the John Rohan
& Son boiler works, which are ada
cent. The intense heat caused by the
roaring fire kept the crowds and even
the firemen back d considerable dis
lance from the burning elevator.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 4.-One of the
worst snow storms ever experienced

have so far been reported. The money
