NOTIFICATIONS AGREED ON.

LONDON, March 25-A dispatch from

veh.iln. the principal ones being:

the Chinese government as heretofore;
Russia vii not insist upon there being
4 Russian resilient at Moukden; the
Chinese army will be permitted to

Turkestan and Kashgaria shall b5

TREATY WILL BE SIGNED.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Informa-
ton reaching diplomatic quarters here
is to the effect that the objections to
the Chino Russian agreement on Man
churia have not been OF such decisive
character as to prevent the signing Of
the document and it is expected it viii
be executed today or tomorrow, unless
Russia voluntarily withdraws the
agreement. Moreover, in cas- the doc
ument is signed there is no idea that
serious results will follow in the way
Of an open breach between the pow
ers.
The warlike tone Of the reports from
Japan is not tailer TO refer so much to
Manchurla as to Corea, and Japan's
present purpose is understood to be to
prevent the Manchurian agreement
from becoming Russian stepping
stone to Corea.

JAPAN READY FOR WAR.

LONDON. March 25.-In the absence
Of the japanese minister in London
Baron TGayashi, Mr. Matsui, first Sec
retary Of the japanese legation, who
was interviewed this afternoon by a
representative Of the Associated Press,
made a comprehensive statement of the
issues involved in Manchuria. He
said.
"Pussias insistence, China's helpless
ness and the probable victory Of Rus
sian diplomacy tomorrow will bring US
TO the brink OF q dangerous situation
in which none OF the powers Is 50
deeply concerned as Japan. Even II the
secret treaties have been modified, as is
alleged. the changes are so trifling as 10
make the documents thoroughly objec-
uonable to japan. Assuming that Chi
NJ signed the treaties. l suppose Great
Britain. Germany and the United States
vii protest to Russia but that is about
as far as they will go and about as
much as they could get.
With Japan. II is a matter of fight
ing. The question is whether We lrt
to fight Hussia now or TO fight hsI
later on. She has no right TO Manchu-
ria and If she secures Manchuria sh'
will be on the way to securing Corea
Our government, 1 believe. is serious
ly considering the crisis. Their eyes
are wide open and they will not b
driven TO precipitate action by the jim
goists of Japan, who are openly clam
oring for immedia te war. Yet if they
sea that war is unavoidable they will
not hesitate TO strike"

nroRGAN-HILL EARrH-eIRDLE.

CFrom the n. Y. World.l
Eight men have just put through an
enterprise which brings under one man
agement seven great railway and steam
ship systems operating continuously
from Europe across the Atlantic, across
the United States. across the Pacific to
the shores Of Asia. The amount Of cap
ital involved is not far from a thousand
millions, and the number of human be-
ings whose welfare is directly affected
cannot be less than fifteen millions
Think OF the vast quantities of COM
modities transported and marketed by
this Observation-Disclosures system! Think
Of the erect of the rates fixed by these
eight men upon the prosperity Of whole
states. Of a multitude OF cities and
towns, Of the tOilera on a thousand
farmsl
Yet it would be a mistake to say that
these eight men own this vast segrega-
ton Of power and productive capacity
It would be an error to say unreserved-
" even that they control it. On the con-
trary. this wealth and potentiality of
wealth controls them. 1t demands that
they administer it with tireless vigil
ance so as to make 1t earn interest and
dividends. And to make It thus profit
able these men must administer It IN
conformity with the relentless laws Of
political economy. They must employ
and retain a vast number Of capable
Observation-Disclosures They must divide
the gross receipts with an army OF
workingmen. and divide upon just
basis They must fix their rates so as to
increase business. therefore so as to
promote the prosperity and welfare or
the people who use their system
If they do not administer wisely, the
punishment, the inevitable punishment,
will be the ruin OF their system and
their own downfall.

HIS American Namesake.
Washington, Jan. "a recent issue of
a Manila paper gives a praphic and in
teresting account of the capture and
utter defeat of the forces of the famous
insurgent leader, Geronimo. near Mon
fabian, by Col. J. Milton Thompson and
a thousand picked men of the Twenty
second and Forty-second volunteer in
fantry regiments in November last.
Geronimo, from all accounts. lived up to
his nameSake in this country in that he
hurled defiance from his mountain
fortress in much the same way as
Geronimo the celebrated Apache chief
tain, harassed and def1ed our troops in
the west. The insurgent chief was
strongly fortified at Pinauran in De
A1orte Canon. near Montablan, his
trenches being strung along both sides
for a distance of six or seven miles.
After the reoccupation Of the presi-
Dental chair" says the article, 1T was
decided by the military authorities to
dislodge Geronimo at any cost. The lat
ter had boasted frequently Of the time
when the insurgents killed five hundred
Spaniards who made an unsuccessful
attempt to take Pinauran."
The time for Col ThOmpson's attack
was set for noon on Nov D. The expedi-
ton was divided into four detachments.
The main one, under command of Capt
Brandle, was IN the lead ana while ad-
yancing through the bed of the canon,
was the first to draw the fire of the in
surgents. The intrenched B'ilipinos, be-
Eeving the detachment to be the entire

" with their vOlleys came the attack
of the Americans from four distinct di-
rections. Then Col. Thompson, leading

through dirt and underbrush and enter

of the insurgent leader. THE men had
to cut their own trails and pull them
selves up the mountain side by grasping
twigs and saplings. hand over hand"
When the Americans reached the top
there was not a live rebel IN sight. The
number of insurgents killed is estimated
at from so to $50. The Americans lost
four killed and about a dozen wounded.

London, Jan. 10.--General Kitchener
sends news of a serious simultaneous
attack on the night Of January by the
Republicans on the British positions be-
tween points sixty miles apart, along
the lines of the Pretoria and Lourenzo
Marques railway. The losses on both
sides were heavy. According to reports
the Beers were beaten off after prolong-
ed fighting.
Following is the text of the dispatch
from General Kitchener:
Pretoria, Wednesday, jan 9.-On the
night OF January the Beers made SIM
ultaneous and determined attacks upon
all of our posts at Belfast, WonderfOn-
TEN, NOoitgedacht and Wildfontein. In
tense fog prevailed and taking advan-
tage of the cover it afforded, the Beers

Cape Town, Jan. I.-The refugees are
approaching the military authorities to
obtain permission to form a corps for
the protection Of Johannesburg and the
cities only, as they wish to be on the
Rand to assist in the defense of their
property. The chamber Of mines has
adopted a similar attitude On the
Picquetburg road the Beers are occupy
ing Celvinia and Sutherland consisting
of two columns, one advancing in the
direction of ClanWilliam and the other
towards Worcester or in this direction.
All passes in front Of Worcester have
been occupied by seasoned troops which
are gathering at strategic points. The
tranquil Dutch openly disapprove of
the raid, many even sending horses to
the British camp
RECRUITING IS SLOW.
New York, Jan ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: Day after
day the newspapers continue to second
the appeals of the correspondents in
Cape Town for more troops for south
Africa. The necessity for fresh drafts
of mounted men is growing urgent to
augment the strength of the force now
serving and to replace the yeomanry
and other troops that should by this
time be returning home. Meanwhile the
recruiting for the South African con-
stabulary is proceeding sluggishly. The
actual number Of recruits dispatched so
far from the United Kingdom is two
hundred, but 300 more are to start next
week, with more than three times the
number required applying to be enlisted.
The selection Of candidates goes on at
the rate of only 300 a month, at which
rate it will take nearly a year and a
half to get the necessary FIVE thousand
men
