CRISIS IN FAR EAST
Russia-Chinese Agreement IS
Worrying Diplomats.
ATTITUDE OF JAPAN.
The Mikado's Government
Will Resist Russian Ag"
eressions in Manchuria.

Washington, D. C.-The question
Of Chinese indemnities has given way
for the moment to the more pressing
issue over the conclusion OF the Rus
STA China agreement relating to Man
churia. The latter subject has reached
a decisive stage IS only three days
remain within which China can con-
firm OR reject the agreement. Up to
the present time neither the state de-
partment nor the Chinese minister
has received any report that China
has rejected the treaty.
There is much anxiety in official
and diplomatic quarters as to the OUT
come, or the active part taken by the
various powers and the threatening
attitude of Japan give unusual i'm
portance to the conclusions to be
reached within the next few days.
The Chinese minister held confer
ence with Secretary Hay, the Man
churian question being the subject OF
discussion. The minister brought no
definite information as to what has
been done on the agreement.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned it seems likely that the last
word has been spoken and there is
not expected to be any decisive pro-
test beyond what already has been
given. At the same time it is appre.
ciated that the United States has
large commercial interests in Man
churia, which cannot but be affected
if Oh mas authority there is practlo-
ally transferred to Russia.
JAPAN WILL RESIST RUSSIA.
Shanghai.-There is no confrma'
ton of the reported concentration OF
Russian warships in Corean waters OF
of the rumored mobilization Of the
Japanse fleet. While foreign circles
here generally doubt that an outbreak
Of hostilities will occur the Chinese
are satisfied that Japan is determined
to resist Russian aggressions in Man
churia.
General Gazelee. who has been in
the command of the British troops al
Pekin has arrived here.
RUSSO CHINESE TREATY.
St.Petersburg-It is understood and
generally believed in diplomatic cir
oles here, that the Russo Chinese
agreement, now about being signed
differs considerably from the origina
draft, though the precise differences
are not obtainable. Russian states
men reiterate emphatically that Rus
STA does not intend to assume a pro
tectorate over Manohuria.
REJECTION NOT CONFIRMED
London. communications re
ceived by the British foreign score
tary, Lord Lansdowne, do not confirm
the reported rejection of the Russo
Chinese treaty. In fact they indicate
rather the reverse, though the foreign
office says it still hopes the pressure
being brought to bear on China vii
have q good result.

JOKE ON A GERMAN DIPLOMAT
An Amusing Story About Count RIA.
dolin, the New Ambassador
to France.

In drawing-room where the con
versation turned the other night OF
the successor of Prince Munster yor
Bernburg as German ambassador IL
Paris diplomat, who has been his col
league in st. Petersburg, told the fol
lowing anecdote:
Prince Radolin, although s man Of
much good sense, has the reputation OF
being somewhat self-conscious. One
OF his friends, who had known him as
Count Radolinsky, a name which he
bore until the reign of Frederick III.
accosted him one day with "Good day,
Radolinsky!"
"Radolin!" corrected the prince
somewhat tartly.
Two years later the same friend met
the German ambassador again and,
holding out his hand, saids
"Ah, good day. Rado!"
And, as the prince allowed his sur.
prise to be visible, he added: Doesn't
your name lose syllable year?"

rhe rutention Not Fullalled.

The ship subsidy bill is intended, ac-
cording to the claims of its advocates,
to promote the creation of an American
merchant marine, built in America,
owned in America, manned by Ameri-
cans, and carrying American products.
1t will not do any of these things, and
the pretense that 1t will Is hollow. A
large proportion of the ships to which
subsidies will go under the bill are, as
we have pointed out, to be foreign
built None Of the ships needs be own
ed entirely by Americans. There is no
adequate requirement that even frac-
ton Of the crew need be Americans.
BY far the larger part Of the subsidies
will go to ships that do not and cannot
carry any considerable amount OF
freight. 1t is as absolute and shame
less a piece of special legislation for
the benefit of small number of rich
persons at the expense Of the treasury
and the taxpayers as was ever devised,
and 1t is decidedly worse than any
thing that has ever been undertaken BY
congress.-Eew York Times.

The 0uantitlve Theory Of Money.

The Quantitlve Theory Of Money
Present conditions afford ampl,
proof of the correctness of the quanta
tive money theory. During the clos
ing years of Cleveland's last term a
president he brought about, with tn,
assistance of most Of the republican
members of congress-, a shortage il
the country's money or circulatin,
medium. The presidents fnancia
advisers and supporters were stron,
advocates OF the qualitive theory
They were scarce money disciples
they wanted gold as the standard ano
gold as the only actual money Of the
country. They even went so far as tc
entirely stop the coinage of standard
silver dollars and that at time when
the country was sorely in need of al
most any kind Of money with which
to transact its ordinary business.
AS result of Cleveland's scarce
money propaganda nearly every bust
ness interest of the country anguish
ed, and under that cloud the demo-
Gratis, although supporting the correct
theory, went down to defeat in 1896.
The hard times came under demo-
cratic president, and that was as far
as many voters carried their investi-
cations. They knew that they were
being pinched, and that man whom
the democrats had elected was the ma
lions chief executive. They did not
go further and exonerate the democra-
tic party from blame and charge the
cause of their trouble to the real Of
tenders, namely: the republican SEN
ators and representatives who were
helping to sustain Cleveland's vetoes
of democratic measures.
The republicans came into power as
champions of Cleveland's scarce mon
ey principles, and as long as they ad-
hered to that policy the times did not
improve. The first year Of McKinley's
administration was as bad as Cleve-
lands last year. Then agreat change
was instituted. The republicans in
