Cloverport, Ky, March 16. - In the
biting air Of the early morning the
citizens of Cloverport looked on, pow
erless, while fire destroyed 100000
worth Of property and left 1000 per-
sons, half the population, homeless.
Every business house was burned, and
the distress of hundreds of women
and children was relieved only when
trains loaded with supplies arrived
from Louisville and Henderson.
By the bursting of natural gas
pipe in a kitchen just after midnight,
the building was set on fire. The burn
ing embers were carried to the i'm
mence tobacco warehouses of the
American Tobacco company. Efforts
to save them We're abandoned to fight
the fires which were springing up on
all sides. The tobacco company's
plant, consisting of two stemmeries
and 100000 pounds of tobacco was
soon destroyed.
Louisville and Henderson were asked
to send assistance, but no help arrived
until 4:30 a. M, and by that time the
fire had about exhausted it's material
Every business house and over one
half the residences We're destroyed
Relief trains were made up at Louis
vile and Henderson and brought 5000
loaves of bread and large supply of
clothing. The coaches will be placed
at the disposal of the homeless until
they can find other temporary homes.
Adjt. Gen. Murray shipped 500 tents
from Frankfort. A number of persons
were slightly injured.

Shanghai, March 16.-Russia's treaty
with China in regard to Manchuria
still excites the liveliest comment
roys Liu Kun vi and Chang Chin
Tung have united with Sheng, director
of posts and telegraphs, in sending
many urgent kilograms to the court
protesting against the compact. Sheng
said to your correspondent yesterday:
IT believe that will be the beginning
of the partition of all China If it is
pressed"
The Chinese propose to hold a big
public meeting here to protest against
the Manchurian agreement. These
Chinese leaders say that Russia has
forced its demands upon China and
that it is not, compact, but really an
ultimatum from the car.
Lii Hung Chang favors the compact,
but all the governors and viceroys of
the Southeastern provinces are stout
ly opposed to it. The native press is
also unanimous in opposition to the
treaty.
Chicago, March Is. - Lambert Tree
of this city. formerly United States
minister to Russia, is inclined to the
opinion that the war clouds rising out
of the recent Manchurian convention
and lowered over Russia and Japan is
likely to splatter the Orient with the
blood of soldiers. 1t is full of ominous
warning, he thinks, and will not blow
away in a day or two, as European
war clouds have recently fallen into
the habit of doing.
Washington, March 1G.-Such infor
nation as has come to the hands Of
officials indicates that the Russian
agreement consists of twelve articles,
not nine, as has been published. The
chief concern of officials here has been
to learn how far these articles affect
the permanent future of Manchuria.
On their face it is said they show a
return to China of Manchuria, which
would seem to be quite in keeping with
the desire of all the powers. But this
is accomplished upon certain condi
tons imposed upon China, and it is
understood that these conditions in
effect establish a Russian suzerainty
over Manchuria, with a Russian Off
cial occupying the chief executive po-
sition, similar to that of the British
SiCerOy of India

try has adopted the wheel without adopting the safeguards in favor of bona fide homeseekers that go with it in New Zealand. But no one need ex- pect New Zealand thofoughness or New Zealand honesty in American pub lie affairs, for it does not exist.
 In Montana the state owns about 100000 acres of land, and the state land board has decided to sell these lands at auction No state lands can, however. be sold at less than s10 an acre, and so 1t has been decided to lease lands to the highest bidder in cases of non-saIe. The trouble with all American plans is that the land speeu- lator is ever present and preferences in favor of the landless are not suffi- ciently efficient The speculator and mononpolist Is shut out in New Zealand land because all land Is there held by perpetual lease, thus nationalizing all land, and rendering the consent of the authorities necessary in case of sale. Such a plan is far beyond ths greed and slovenliness of this country in land alotments.
