never bceup included in the formal draft,
as the correspondent of the Associated
Press is Informed. but they formed a sub
jcct with Manchuria % an exchange OF
ideas preliminary To formal negotiations.
The agreement will be designed for the
protection OF existing interests and rights
and not for the acquisition or new things.
II Is dipiomaticaily admitted that Russia
IS seeking certain guarantees for future Sc
curity. and il is positively certain that no
powers have protested. even Japan refrain
ing from this attempt 20 interfere between
two other governments. However. the Jap
anese minister discussed this and other
phases OF the Chinese question with the
Foreign Office. The statement OF the Jap
anese foreign minister that Japan VIII nee
essarily demand compensation If the agree
ment * signed has not made a decisive i'm
preston. for, as the authority OF the CORE
spondent Of the Associated Press says,
promises or threats and their performance
are often quite different. Russia does not
object 10 the principle OF Count Won Bue-
low. the German imperial chancellor. that
the agreement will not diminish substan-
tally China's ability to pay any indemnity,
since the arrangement does not affect the
existing commercial rights of other nations
in Manchuria. China will continue collect
ing customs dues in ManchuTia.

INFESTED WITH ROBBERS.
Coantry Around Shib-Nan IL Unsafe
for Foreigners.

PEKING, March 27.-The ministers of the
powers do not consider that the murder OF
Rev. j.. S~tonehouse. of the London Mission
airy Society, who was killed by Chinese bril-
gands fourteen miles east of Tien-Tsin re-
Gently, affects the Chinese situation pOliti-
cally. They are perfectly aware that the
country around Shih-Nan is infested with
robbers. who are naturally hostile to for
eigners, and would take such an opportu-
nifty as in the present case to kill one. Mr..
Rockhill. the special commissioned of the
United States, says he does not consider IL
safe for people to travel alone in the coun-
try districts. and guards cannot be supplied
10 the missionaries. Consequently those
going into the country take considerable
risk. The district in which the murder was
committed is policed by foreign troops.
Therefore, China is not officially response
BILE The foreign troops practically Quilted
Shih-Nan of everything worth taking, and
the people there are indignant against all
foreigners. The missionaries attribute the
murder to the leniency of the powers to-
ward China, which makes them seem TO be
afraid.
The ministers have many different views
on the indemnity question, which may re-
suit in considerable delay In the negotia-
lions on that subject.

As to Tommy Atkins"

w. l.. Aiucn : 1ttNtA-
Mr.. Meredith dislikes the name of Tom
my Atkins. as applied to the British SOL
der. and i'm a poem which he has just pub
lished. says that ii is base TO the ear as
an ASS bray" Why IL should be an insult
to a soldier to refer to him as Tommy, or
as Mr.. Atkins, is a mystery that per-
haps Mr.. Meredith will deign TO explain.
Perhaps ii would, in Mr.. Meredith's opin-
ion, be much nicer if We were 10 call the
British soldier "Elsley Navasour," which.
according TO Kingsley. is a very beautiful
and aristocratic name. The War Office is
responsible for describing the soldier as
Atkins just as the legal profession is
responsible for calling occasional innocent
Englishmen John Doe or Richard Roe"
Tommy" himself has not the slightest
objection TO his nickname, and will feel no
gratitude to Mr.. Meredith. even were he
ever TO hear of the ~latter's efforts in his
behalf. However, Mr.. Meredith cannot roll
back the ages. and that were on the whole
an easier task than the abolition of the
name Tommy Atkins" The men who use
it have quite as high an estimation of the
soldier as has Mr.. Meredith. and with them
il is practically a name of endearment.

FLOODS IN MICHIGAN.
Grand River Stationary at Grand Rap
ids-LowcII Under Water.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March a.
Grand river is stationary tonight and a
further rise is not looked for unless a heavy
rain should follow the cool wave. The river
is 1876 inches above normal and a rise of
fourteen inches in the past twenty-four
hours. The manufacturing plants along
the river front are closed, the
being flooded, in some instances the first
floor. Many residents have had to vacate
homes on the west side of the river by rea-
son of high water. The Pere Marquette
Railroad bridge still resists the flood. but
use of IL has been abandoned. The part of
the island on which the city lighting plant
Is located is under water and a foot fur
ther rise of the river would force the light
ing plant TO close down. The river above
and below the city in many places is nearly
two miles wide, flooding a large area Of
farm lands.
Late this afternoon two dams on Dixon
creek. a tributary to Flat river, went out,
releasing a big volume of water and flood
ing the city of Bedding. The safety of the
dam on Flat river, above the city, is
feared. The released flood poured through
Flat river into the Grand. and is being felt
In this city now, and the river is again
rising at the rate of an inch an hour. The
dam on the Huron river, at Y%psilanti, went
out tonight, causing damage of $4,000 to
the Ypsilanti Paper Company.
n dispatch from Niles tonight states that
the 81. Joseph river Is on a rampage ana
the dam at that place is likely to so out be-
fore morning. The apron has already been
torn away. Lowell is flooded and i'm dark
ness tonight, the lighting plant there being
shut down by reason of the dam being torn
away.
At Ionia the situation is not much i'm
proved and portions of the city are still in
undated.
