1t has long been a disputed question
whether America was peopled from
Asia. The chief argument against the
theory that man made his approach
to this continent across Bering strait
has been the lack of resemblance in
culture between the aborigines of this
country and the known races of Asia.
This may be accounted for, a Washing
ton scientist maintains, by the fact
that all the Asiatic arts and customs
would in the course Of generations
have been frozen out of any migratory
peoples in their getting around Boring
strait. AS the tribes moved northward
they would lose the characteristics of
their life, one after another, notably
agriculture and domestic animals, until
finally, pressing near the polar circle
their whole energies would be absorbed
in finding food and keeping warm.
With his culture thus frozen out, &C.
cording to this theory, early man
crossed Boring strait, and as he moved
southwark on this continent developed
improved ways Of living, but after such
a long interval of time that the new
customs were entirely distinct from
those of Asia.

Washington, April Z. - A concerted
movement for the. pardon of Alex Nc
Kenzie OF North Dakota, who Is now
serving a years imprisonment in San
Francisco for contempt of the federal
court of appeals of that city, is under
way. and the president. to whom 1t is
being directed, is expected to take the
application for pardon up in short
time and decide 1t in McKenzie's ia
vor- Soon after the decision was an
nounced a petition was presented to
the president for pardon on the
grounds that sentence was unjust and
excessive according to all usage Of
courts. The petition was referred to
Attorney General Griggs. who unhesi-
tatingly approved it and returned 1t
to the president last Friday when he
attended his last cabinet meeting.
The president has had it on his desk
since that time, having been unable to
spare time for its consideration. 1t is
stated that the president will review
the case carefully before he takes any
action, and it is likely to be some
time before ne takes any action on the
petition.

THE PANAMA cCnEME.

Hin and Lamont Said 10 Have
Talked to Mckinley About 1t.
Washington, April flames J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern, and
Daniel Lamont, vice president of the
Northern Pacific, who are associated
with Mr.. Morgan in the latters scheme
to purchase the rights of the French
Panama Canal company and finish
that ditch with capital furnished by an
American syndicate. called on Presi-
dent Mckinley yesterday afternoon.
The ostensible purpose of the visit Of
these two railway presidents was to
consult the chief executive about the
details of his trip across the continent
from the Pacific coast via their respec-
tive lines. If the subject of building
the canal with American capital was
taken up neither Mr.. Hill, Mr.. La
mont or anybody in authority to speak
for the president would talk about it.
Inasmuch, however, as the original
story about the intention Of Messrs.
MILL Lamont and Morgan to call on
the president in regard to the canal
fixed the time of their visit Thursday,
it is believed that the subject was dis
cussed at some length.

Mcdonald, Kan, April Z. - Another
terrific blizzard has been experienced
in Northwestern Kansas and has in.

No. Ill. with twelve days mail. eN-
press and freight for the belea guered
towns of Bird City and st. Francis,
was caught half a mile east Of here
and every effort to bring in the train
has proven futile. Burlington officials
ordered snow pillow with a double
header that had already reached ST.
Francis, to turn back and relieve the
train. The plow had gone but short
distance when it was stalled and the
train is still in drift 600 feet long
and four to five feet deep. The train
Just missed being caught in the Blake
man cut, which is seventy feet deep.
and if it had been stalled there the
entire train would doubtless have been
completely buried in snow. Much suf-
fering exists at half the small towns
within radius of forty miles, many
of the people having been short of fuel
and provisions for twelve days.

Downey, suffered the amputation of an

bered limb ever since. This was bad

house, knocking dishes off the table

severely shocking his wife's nervous

st. Louis, April Z. - A remarkable
thing occurred at the city hospital
last night while the surgeons were
operating upon Mrs. Ida Knight of
651 School street. While under the in
tiuence Of chloroform and While the
surgeons knife was busy in an opera
ton for tumor, she suddenly began
to whistle, although to all practical
purposes she was thoroughly under
the influence of the anaesthetic. She
whistled the "Miserere" from I'll
Trovatore" distinctly and without a
flaw, and at the completion Of the
tune became quiet. At intervals dur
ing the operation she would whistle
sketches from the opera. After re-
gaining consciousness she said that
she could not remember having
thought of the opera or anything while
under the influence of the chloroform.

April. FOOL JOKE.
No Truth in the Runner of n Big

New York, April Z. There is no
truth in the report that J. P. Morgan,
William K. Vanderbilt, James J. Hill,

John D. Rockefeller, Jacob H. Schiff
and James Stillman are planning the
formation of New Jersey corporation
to take over the control Of the stocks
of the Burlington, Northern Pacific,

there any truth in the further report
that this relatively insignificant trans
action is the precursor of plan to
bring all the railway systems of the
country under one control. Two of
the interests mentioned above reported
the rumor as preposterous. Some of
the others refuse to discuss it at all
on the ground that it was simply a
wild hoax, put out on all FOOLS day in
New Jersey, and was a triAe belated

Washington, April z. Russia will
not press her treaty upon China, but
will continue to occupy Manchuria
with her troops until the situation at
Pekin is cleared up and China is able
to guarantee protection to the Russian
railroad in Manchuria.
This information has been communal
Gated to the state department by the
Russian government. The commune
cation is in line with the verbal assur-
ances of Count Cassini the Russian
ambassador, a week ago. 1t is a
friendly response to the note of Secre-
tary Hay to the Chinese government
| on March /, in which he warned that
government against entering into indi-
vidual treaties with single powers
while negotiations are pending for
general understanding with all the
powers. A copy of that note to China
was sent to Ambassador Tower at st.
Petersburg to acquaint the Russian
government with the attitude of this
government, as it was sent to other
American ambassadors in Europe to
lay before the governments to which
they are accredited. Russia was not
called upon to reply to the note, as
1t. was not addressed to that govern
ment, but Russia is anxious to con.
tinue in the
Most Friendly Relations
since they have been more nearly in
harmony in regard to China than
either has been with the other powers.
Russia has explained in detail and Of
fcially her position on the whole ques-
ton. This explanation is satisfactory
to the Washington government. 1t
shows that the attitude 2f Russia to-
ward Manchuria has ben nlisrepre-
scented by some one or is now being
misrepresented by Russia herself in an
official communication to the United
States government which is not re-
garded as probable. 1t also shows that
Russia has gone beyond the strict
rules of diplomatic intercourse to ex-
plain her position to friendly power
and prevent the slightest break
through misunderstanding. The efforts
Of England to place Russia in false
position have failed and the two great
powers opposed to permanent gasri-
sons in China will continue to act to-
gether at Pekin for settlement that
will bring about the early evacuation
of China by all the powers. 1t is be-
lieved here that this attitude of Rus
STA will tend to harmonic differences
at Pekin and hasten a settlement.

minister at st. Petersburg, almost
amounts to an ultimatum.
