ARE NOT INFORMED
Officials At Washington Ignorant
Regarding R%usso-Japan
Korean Negotiations.

Washington, April 17.-Neither the
Russian authorities nor the state de.
partment of this country have received
any word concerning the reported
Russo-Japanese negotiations in rela'
ton to Korea. These reports say
that the negotiations are designed to
terminate the independence of Korea
and that this action by the two pow.
ers is prejudicial to the interests of
all the other powers interested in the
eastern question. There is no indica.
ton, howver, that the United States
feels any such concern, for about the
only interest this government would
have in the matter is that of keeping
our commerce with Korea unobstruct-
ed. Furthermore, it is said, in high
diplomatic quarters, that any negoti-
ations relative to Korea would not De
for the purpose of extinguishing Kor-
can independence, but a play for the
purpose of establishing Korea on a
Arm and Independent basis.
The American minister at Seoul has
made no report on the negotiations,
and as he is in close touch with the
independent cement of the country,
which includes the American mission
aries among it's sympatnizers, he
would be very likely to advise the
government on-any danger threaten
ing Korean independence.

Hawaiian Legislature Badly Mixed
Over Proposed Liquor Dis

Honolulu. April 8, via San Francis
CO., April 1.-THE territorial legisla-
ture is now in the midst of a hard
fight over the proposed liquor dispen,
sary law. The bill had been before
the senate in various stages Tor sew.
eral days, and committee reports for
and against it have been made. The
campaign had developed into a very
bitter one, and there are many charg-
es of a corruption fund circulated by
the liquor interests. 1t will be sew
eral aays before the final vote is re-
ported in the senate, and tnen the
fight will reach the other house. Par
ty lines have been completely broken
or the subject.
The house has killed the bill to
make the old nag of the Hawaiian ma
ton the territorial emblem, on the
ground that it is not the rule for ter
ritories of the United States to have
flags of thier own.
The bill to allow the ex-queen $4,000
a year as a pension has two substi-
tutes, one proposing to give her $780,
600 in a lump sum and another to
make at this time an appropriation
of $4,000 for her for the next two
years. Most of the Independents are
understood to favor giving $25O,O00.

PENNSYLVANIA is MOVING.
Probably Will Form Close Alliance
With Santa Re,


New York, April 1.-THE Mail and
Express says: There is excellent
authority for the statement that prom
inent men representing the Pennsyl-
vania road have recently bought large
blocks of Atchison & Santa Fe stocks,
and before long the former will be in
vited to name several directors of the
latter company. These purchases are
believed to aggregate more than 2OO,-
900 shares, largely preferred.
There are several reasons why the
Pennsylvania should make such a
move. For a long time it has had
close traffic relations with the Chicago
Burlington & Quincy, but now that
that company is about to pass into
the control OF the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern companies, the
Pennsylvania cannot be so sure about
the presentations of it's interests on
transcontinental traffic.
1t has been the policy of the Penn
sylvania not to extend beyond Chi
cago and st. Louis. From what can
be learned there will be no physical
connection between that company and
the Atchison by lease or otherwise.

AN INTERSTATE WARFARE.
Smallpox Quarantine May Lead to Ser
ious Trouble.

Smallpox Quarantine May Lead to Ser
ious Trouble.
Browns Valley, Min, April 17.-An
interstate warfare, growing out of
smallpox conditions at Sisseton, S. D.,
is on at this point.
More than 100 cases of the disease
are said to exist at Sisseton and
Browns Valley forbade persons from
there who had been exposed from en-.
tering this village. This enraged the
Sisseton authorities and under the pre-
text OF, quarantining Roberts county,
placed armed guards on the state line,
half a mile from Browns Valley, who
forbade farmers from any section to
come across. Many of tue farmers
have passed through the guard line
by running their horses, while some
have been arrested, h~andcuffed and
taken to Sisseton, "A miles distant.
There is much excitement over the
affair and unless the state authorities
take a hand and bring about an adj
justment of the matter there will un-
doubtedly be serious trouble. There
is nc smallpox in Browns Valley and
none in the farming district on the
Dakota side and farmers protest bit
terly against being held up and NAL
treated on the public highway.
