clauses objected to by China.
Prince Ching warmly appreciates the
aid rendered China, by the interference OF
England, the United States and Japan,
but he is not optimistic regarding the re-
turn of the Court to Pekin.
1.-THE Russian amendments do not seem
to modify sensibly the convention con-
corning a permanent protectorate. The
clause giving Russia the right to con-
struct railway joining the Manchurian
line to the Great Wall declares that the
concession of the railway between Shan

APPROACHES A BLIZZARD.
Fierce Snow Storm in the Missouri River
Valley.
(By Associated Prcss.)

CHICAGO, ILL, March ia snow
storm approaching blizzard in severity
swept over the Missouri River Valley to-
day, and tonight it was still raging. Ne
hraska, Western Iowa. South Dakota,
Wyoming and Kansas felt the effects OF
the storm which tied UP Street-car
traffic in many cities and delayed railroad
traffic In Northwest Michigan where
the railroads had hardly recovered from
last weeks storm, a heavy snow fell and
continued all night.
It was feared it would do more damage
than the last storm. and arrangements
we're made to side-tracll trains TO pre-
vent their being showed in.
Wisconsin reports snow and rain-storms
with rivers and streams out of their
beds Near Racine serious floods are
feared. At Prairie Du Chen, the lower
part of the town is flooded and eighteen
inches of water is over the railroad
tracks.

GREAT BRITAIN REBUFFED,
Russia Has Not Modified Demands as to
Ma1churia.
Try Associated Press,

by Associated 1rcSS,
ST. PETERSBURG, March l9.-AnsWer-
ing a question, a competent officla! to-
day said:
ut is not true that Russia has yielded
to the representations of any of the
Powers and modified her demands re-
specting Manchuria, because no represen-
tations have been made. Every tentative
attempt to address the Russian Govern
ment on the subject has been declined.
Russia is a, great Power and has the right
to hold negotiations with any other gov
eminent, and no other Power has the
right to interfere. Tentatives made in a
friendly spirit, however, receive a friend
ly answer.
1t was admitted that the Power rebuffed
was Great Britain.
He added: IF diplomacy is unable to
settle the controversy over the railway
siding Russia is willing to submit it to
arbitration. perhaps to The Hague tri-
bunal or to some other arbitrator.
After England captures Dewet per-
haps she will have the courage for q mill
tary conflict in another quarter OF the
world While she is promenading around
the British forces it is hardly probable
that England will seek trouble elsewhere

MORGAN DOES NOT GIVE UP.
Believes the Nicaragua Canal Will Yet be

Oullts
(special Dispatch to The Tincs.)
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Morgan, OF Alabama, has not yet given UP
the idea that the cana! connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans will be built
before the expiration Of his present term
in the United States Senate.
Senator Morgan, it will be recalled. was
defeated, from every viewpoint IN the
Senate during the Fifty-sixth session OF
Congress, when advocating the enactment
Of a law providing for the digging OF this
interoceanic waterway. In speech or
great length, Just before the expiration
OF the special session OF the Senate this
spring, Senator Morgan announced that
he feared he would not live to see the
next Congress make the necessary ap-s
propriatio for the construction OF the
canal in which he is much Interested.
His plea to his associates was pathetic
However his eloquence did not count Tor
anything a t the last session OF Congress
At the present time it may, be assumed
that the Alabama Senator has not given
up the idea, that this canal can be con-
sdered before he retires. or, 1t may pc
added. before death interyenes to make
him incapable of pushing the plans ne IS
so much interested in in this connection
If was only Yesterday it, might be stated
in passing that the 4Alabama Senator M
dicated that he had not yet given up hope
that something within the near iutufe
might be done to induce Congress and this
Government to provide the amount OF
money necessary for this great undertake
Ing.
With Secretary Hay, of the State De-
partment, Mr.. Morgan had long con-
ference yesterday, and all this Indicates
that he still believes that before he re-
tires something definite can be accom-
plished at the Effty-seventh session CT
Congress.
His talk with Secretary Hay yesterday
was regarding the advisabiilty OF re-
onaning negotiations with Great Briatin
for a fair treaty on this subject. Whiie
the public is not informed regarding the
views held by the Secretary OF state. there
10 a. possibility that something, consider
ed wise. so far as treaty rights are con-
cerned. can be devised by this Govern
ment between this time and the assem-
bling of the Fifty-seventh SESSION OF CON
gress next December.
IT is announced that the talk Det"een
Senator Morgan and Secretary HAY IS one
of y dozen which has recently beeh heid
1,non the same subject. and further, tia.
the Alabama Senator is not the ots1S
member OF Congress who has consulted
the Secretary of State regarding what IS
considered one of the most important
projects this country may nave 10 ees'i
with within the next few years.

sense of relief. The idea that Lord kltch-
