traces of tin,. copper and petroleum have been found in numerous places. Iron abounds, and in some places close to coal. Most important. how ever, are vast deposits of coal of various descriptions anthracite, semi-anthracite and bitufninous- which require only improved Inachin- cry to develop large export trade.
 American manufacturers and ex- porters are vitally interested in the settlement of the Manchurian ques- tion, because the bulk of American exports to China have gone to Man depot for American cotton goods, canned meats, flour, lamps, kerosene, tobacco, toys, tools and cheap cut. lery; and in the city of Moukden, the central mart of the province, there is not a single shop which does not display merchandise made in the United States. Last year our mer- chants sold $10,oO0,000 of cotton cloths in North China ports, an in crease of nearly 100 per cent. in ten years.

It may ultimately develop that Russia's hold on Manchuria is guar anteed by treaties made before the outbreak of the Boxer rebellion. Should such be the case the United States could not object to the an nexation of the province; but it could, and probably would, demand equal trade privileges.
 The moralist may find ample cause for criticising Russia's policy in Man. churia, but he who believes in the commonly-accepted maxim that self preservation is the first law of na- ture will admit, readily and gener- ously, that the absorption of the province and it's incorporation into the slav empire are absolutely neces- sary.
 Thousands of Cossacks are at the present time holding the cities and towns, the hills and dales, the moun- tains and the steppes of Manchuria; every company, every man, ready to march against the brave little Japs who, if report be true, are preparing to mobilize their entire army and navy before the winds shall have scattered the blossoms of May.

PREPARING FOR WAR
Russia Would Fight Rather Than
 Relinquish Manchuria.

 Hung Chang.
Special correspondence.l

THE ''Manchurian question"
 which Japan and Great Britain
 are trying to make an inter national bone of contention, is not as intimately connected with the pres ent disorders in China as superficial writers would have us believe. The fact of the matter is that as long ago as 1895 the Chinese government gave Russia the privilege of constructing a railroad through Manchuria, from the Siberian border to Port Arthur, on the gulf of Pe-Chi-Li. This con cession was granted at the instiga- ton of Ii Hung Chang in gratitude for the part Russia played for China in the settlement of the .Chino-Jap- anese war. It will be remembered that Japan, puffed up by success and egged on by Great Britain and other European powers, was making prep arations to annex vast slices of China and to assume protectorate over the independent kingdom of Corea, when Russia stepped in and dashed the cup from the victor's lip. Instead of securing territory on the mainland of Asia, Japan had to content herself W1Un Iue 1eElllc, puC OT1SdAu-1u1eSGcu island of Formosa and money in demnity which has thus far been paid only in part.
 To assume that Russia was prompt ed by anything but selfish motives in thus thwarting triumphant Japan and assisting humiliated China would be absurd. In all of it's foreign dip1o- macy the czar's government has never done single thing from purely hu- manitarian motives. Japanese ex pansion on the continent of Asia would have meant disaster to Rus sian military, naval and commercial enterprise. It would, furthermore, have undermined Russian prestige with the Chinese of the northern

\ FIss ANNIE RUSSELL.

IN H ISS ANNIE hUoSELD, WnO lVH made such a decided hit last
 year as the man-hater in Miss Hobbs has been very fortunate also in her this seasons play, "A Royal Family" In both New York and Chi cago critics and public have pro- nounced it a play specially suited to the actress, whose charming person. ality and clever acting have won this lady her present enviable position on the stage; a play so we'll suited to the interpreter that one hopes never to be so unfortunate as to see the role of Princess Angela attempted by another.
 Miss Russells plays are original in setting, unhackneyed. In Miss Hobbs" you remember the cabin of a yacht was the meeting-place for the to-be lovers, the spot from which dated the declaration and vows, marked the hours from which they were to live happy ever after; in "A Royal Family" the lovers indulge in a tete-a-tete in the branches of a tree, which in the story thoughtfu1ly grows in secluded spot, but in the play accommodating rears it's leafy twigs in the front of the stage. We all like novelty, and who more than the confirmed theater goer? "A

Russo-Chinese agreement lend par ticular emphasis to the annexation thecsry, notably that one which spe- officially grants to Russia the right to occupy the country during the con- struction of the railroad and to pro tect both the works and the work men. The Manchurian branch of the Trans-Siberian railroad, beginning at Lake Baikal, will be 1,2o0 miles long, S9o miles of which will be in China and BIO miles in Russia.
 Emperor Alexander III, in whose brain originated the plan of build ing modern railroad from the west ernmost part of his empire to the Pacific ocean, had selected Vladivo- stock as it's terminal port, but the Chino-Japanese war presented to Russian statescraft a plan far more advantageous.

Modern forms of dress accentuate rather than subdue these evil sug- gestions. "What is most daring?" is the question with the modiste, not ''What is pufest?"
 A woman's charms of person and mind should be her store of wealth. At present her physical charms are paraded before the world that all may see. She does not so parade her beau ties of mind.
 Sometimes her physical charms are counterfeit; they are used as snare. She cannot counterfeit her mental qualities.

 Instead of protesting at that time, Great Britain, Germany and France secured railroad concessions of their own in other parts of China, and not until very recently has the Man churian question: been made one of absorbing international interest.
 Yelled statements have come from St. Petersburg that Russai will never give up her hold on Manchuria and that it is only waiting for an appro- priate chance to annex it formally. But in order to sugar-coat the disa- greeable pill and make everybody concerned comfortable the Russian government has, truthfully, ex- pressed willingness to assume or guarantee the indemnity claimed by. the various governments from China on account of the Boxer outrage and subsequent military expeditions. It may even go further and treat with Japan on the subject of Corean oc- cupation. The latter concession, however, may be considered as the limit of Russian patience and con ciliation; and should it be rejected disdainfully, as Japanese advices say it will be, the question must be sub mitted to the arbitrament of war.
 Leaving aside the railroad question, Manchuria is country we'll worth striving for. It occupies 375,0O0 square miles, is drained by several large river systems, including four navigable waterways, the Sungari and Nonni on the north and the Yalu and Liao on the south. It's entire area is tributary to the sea and to the commerce of the world through an extensive coast line on the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li, with safe and commodi- ous harbors at Port Arthur, New chwang and Talienwan.

Royal Family" makes many claims on our attention, appeals to many in tereSts.
 It has been said more than once that Miss Russell could give dainti- ness and charm and life to any poor stick of play, and many admirers are inclined to agree to this bit of ex- travagance. It is we'll known that Jerome K. Jerome wrote Miss Hobbs for male star, and that it was only as 1astresort that it was turned over for Miss Russell's use. MT. Jerome expressed his surprise that Miss Rus sell was able to make it appear Miss Hobbs'' was the leading role, and was able to make such hit with a play originally intended to give promi- hence to a male character; but when Miss Russell occupies the stage one need not fear she will be overlooked or take second place.
 Miss Russelrs company is not, how over, a company chosen as 8 foil for the bright, particular one, but com pany of acknowledged artists. Mrs. Gilbert, that beloved, widely-known old lady, plays the dowager queen in her carefully studied manners, and with turn of her head expresses a world of meaning. Mr. Charles Rich man is most satisfactory as lover, quite an ideal Prince Victor.
 :. A Royal Family" is a fairy story, purely imaginative, a most interest ing fairy story for us grown-up chil- dren. Princess Angela is a lovely prin- cess of the beautiful country of Ar cadia, but she is no sleeping beauty awaiting the kiss of a venturesome knight; rather composite Of fairy princess and new woman. The royal advisers in Arcadia, like those in less fantastic lands, desire the marriage of royal hightnesses be made with reference to pleasing the country, rather than with regard to the per- sonal inclinations of the royal high nesses.
 Princess Angela, to release her land from impending war, was requested to give herself to a suitor whom she has never seen. This she refuses to do, not caring to be a puppet for min isters and cardinals to move about, not caring to have the boundaries of her country and the stability of it's throne purchased at the cost of the loss of her maidenly freedom. But the marriage had to be arranged some way, and one of the wise men, a car dinal, decided on a willy plan. Angela was made acquainted with the man in the case, but was not told he was the discarded suitor. Prince Victor is very splendid piece of masculin-
