Nearly one-fourth Oh our exports To
China go TO the province Of Man
chooria In 1898, the latest year for
which complete figures are obtainable,
we sent to China products valued at
sZS,0l3,01S. Of which p per cent went
to Manchooria American goods, eSpe-
cially eottons, are in growing demand
there. To that province in 1893 went
fully 80 per cent Of our exports Of cot
ton goods to China These facts show
why the United States would neces-
sarily oppose any such closing OF the
Manchoorian market.
There Is, however. no reason to be-
lieye that Russia has any such inten-
ton. As a matter OF fact Russia had
begun negotlstions for the cession Of
ManchooFia year before the Pekin
riots begun. The transfer Of the terri
tory is therefore matter that con-
Germs only Russia and China. The
Cars government has given positive
assurances that the occupation OF
Manehooria, made necessary to protect
railway and other Russian interests
during the Boxer outbreak. Is tempo
rary and solely for the purpose Of re-
storing order. The folly OF the Lon
don reports that Russia has brlbed
the Chinese court to consent to the
permanent alienation OF Manchooria Is
evident upon the slightest consIdera-
ton of the facts.
Russia's interests in Eastern Asia
demand that commerce with and
through Manchooria be stimulated by
every possible means. Supplies OF
every kind are needed for the devel-
opment Of Siberia. Traffic from the
east as well as from the west Is
needed TO make the Siberian railway
pay expenses. For these reasons 2as.
sia was the first to agree to our re-
| quest that, no matter what the future
| political control Of any part OF China
| our treaty rights should remain unim.
| paired. It was evidently to Russia'i
interest that commerce across the Pa
| cific be facilitated. Unable herself Il
supply the growing needs OF Eastern
Siberia and North China. Russia hat
to rely on foreign supplies. For thes
reasons Russia guaranteed our acces
to the Manchoorian market, and also
gave many Of our products free entr.
to Siberia.
The sugar complication evidently in
spired Russla's traditional foe with tn

1t is rather surprising to learn that
our modern cup defenders sail no fas.
ter than a vessel, Of about the same
size built in 1903. That statement.
however, is made by a noted naval ar
chitect of Boston. He declares that
the famous Salem privateer America.
OF the war Of 1912, sailed faster on her
best point-with the wind on the quar-.
ter-than any of the crack racing
yachts of today. Her log shows that
she frequently made thirteen knots
with the burden OF a warship, while
the best speed Of the cup defenders OF
today is little better than fourteen
knots in racing trim. 1t Is an inter.
esting fact that the architect in ques.
ton, Iinea1 descendant Of one of the
builders of the priyateer, is himgelt
designing boat to defend the cup this
year. He does not expect to surpass
his ancestor.

CLOSING OF CENTRE STREET.
Some Councilmen Believe d. and H.
Should Reciprocate.

Certain of the members of the COM
mon council who are opposed to the
passage of the ordinance recently in
troduced providing for the closing of
Center street between MifIlin avenue
and the Lackawanna river, are talk
ing of n compromise.
They argue that the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad company will be very
materially benefited by the closing
of this part Of the street, and that
therefore it should be willing to do
that they suggest is fhe removal of
the platform of the Steel Works freight
and passenger station from Cherry
street.
AS is generally known. the station
platform completely shuts off Cherry
street, near it's intersection with Rem-
ington avenue. and vehicles are obliged
TO drive way around the platform To
get TO Cherry street on the other slhe.
several petitions have been presented
To councils asking that steps DE taken n
to have the pla, 'n"ul removed. nut
nothing has ever boon done in the
matter.
1t is more than probable that the
ordinance will b. iefarr2l In spe,!ai
committee on Thursday night, with
instructions to co"ier With the oi'icials
of the company, with the view OF get
ting tL,in to agree IT, the removal OF
the platform, in ras the measure Is
passed.

A GENERAL MIX-UP.
Cicero Villains Was Very Badly
Used Up Yesterday.

There was all kinds of trouble in the
domicile of Cicero Williams in Ray
mond court last evening about i
o'clock. at least if all that came out
before Magistrate Millar last night was
true.
According To Cicero's story. Matthew
Bedford and his wife came in shortly
after o'clock and began to stir things
up, They got into "A quarrel and Bed l.
ford, according to Cicero. picked up a
banjo and broke it over his CCiceroS)
head. Mrs. Bedford walked over Ia
the stove and. picking up one OF the
lids, SHE'D it at Cicero's head, cutting
it open, but on account of the hard
ness of his skull it did no further
damage.
Strange to relate. 1t was Bedford
who had Cicero arrested first He
charged that Cicero had stolen $40
from him and after u hearing the
magistrate held the nameSake of the
great orator in $500 bail. He then is
sued a warrant for the arrest of Bed
ford and his wife and both We're fined
so on the charge of assault and bat
