That Chino Russian A greeInant.
London, Jan. S.-The British foreign
office considers the reported agree
ment between Russia and China re-
garding the Manchurian province of
Feng Tien as probably referring to
military measures of a temporary char
acter. There is nothing in the poses
sion of the foreign office to show that
any such agreement has the sanction
of Russia and China. In the opinion
of the foreign Office there is likely TO be
a great deal more discussion before
the Chinese imperial personages finally
agree to the penalties insisted upon by
the powers

ere United STATES directly. ar mvoIv-
ing questions of the taxation relations
between the United States and our in
sular possessions. The cases cover the
several phases of the dominion of the
United States over the islands before
and after the ratification of the Paris
treaty of peace and after legislation by
congress with reference to them.
The feature of the brief is the direct
notice it takes of ex-President Har-
risbn's address at Ann Arbor and the
response made thereto in behalf of the
administrator newly acquired ter
ritory The brief denies the doctrine
ess ex proprio vigore and that all linn
itstions of the constitution apply every
where throughout the scope of the au-
thority of the government, but says
that there are limitations in the con-
stitution which do apply throughout
both the state and territories, or
ganized and unorganized.
Because some limitations apply it
does not follow that all apply. Those
which do apply everywhere, both with
in and without the United States in
its broadest sense, it says are those
securing the blessings of justice and
liberty TO all the people. Tyranny and
oppression cannot constitutionally eX-
ist under the sovereignty of the repub-
lie, whose founders declared that all
men are entitled to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.

cd of City Delivery.

Believing that the city folk are as
much entitled to free delivery as our
rural cousins, the Herald has entered
upon the experiment Of delivering its
weekly edition every Wednesday even
ing to the homes Of its subscribers
living within reasonable distance Of
the city proper The method was
used last week, and considering its
being the initial effort, resulted very
satisfactorily.
The plan of course involves an ex-
ira expense but the paper costs the
subscriber nothing additional Four
carrier boy have been engaged one
for each ward and we feel confident
that after week or two the opera
ton OF delivery will be upon a sys-
tematie basis and work like a charm.
Meanwhile, just be patient and if
your Herald is not at your door at the
evening hour before curfew, repors
at the box Office and get your money
back.

progress and 1t is Lancaster's inter-

PROF CLARKE TO REMAIN.
Accedes to Wishes Of Parents and Pu-
pills, and Accepts Re-appointment.

In response TO the unanimous calls
Of pupils, teachers. parents and
friends Principal L. L. Clarke Of the
city schools has reconsidered the ac-
ton he decided upon a short time ago
in announcing his resignation and
will accept the position for another
year.
The talented professor arrived at
this conclusion Monday and announe-
Ell mis- decision on that day The
numerous remonstrances circulated
ia the schools and on the street re-
questing him to take the matter Of
withdrawal under advisement and
conclude to remain in charge another
year at least had the desired effect
and Mr. Clarke could hardly over
look and ignore such hearty eN-
preston in his favor. That he will
be appointed principal for another
year is a foregone conclusion and the
endorsement accorded his services by
those who know him best is a fitting
tribute to a deserving man. Under
his capable management Lancaster :
public schools have risen TO fame and
the Herald is pleased to chronicle the
news Of his re- engagement.
