London, Mnrch 22.--In the house OF
lords yesterday the foreign secre-
tary, Lord Lansdownc, announced
that Russia and Great Britain had
agreed to withdraw their troops from
the disputed territory at Tien-Tsln
and reserve the question of title and
proprietary rights for subsequent
examination.
Lord Lansdowne supplemented the
announcement by explaining that the
dispute concerning an extensive area
M the left bank of the Pei Ho river,
which the Russians occupied in the
autumn and claimed by right of con-
uues.. Subsequently, the government
was informed that China and Russia.
mad reached an agreement placing
The area under Russian occupation.
The area. however. comprised plots
belonging to the northern Chinese
railroad and was therefore part or
the security of the British bond
holders.
The line was part of the railroad
recently transferred by the Russians
to Field Marshal Won Waldersee, who
re-transferred it to the British.
The necessities of the allies rcquir-
I'd the construction of siding on
one of the plots referred to. and The
presence of British workers on tIe
plot was treated as trcsDass on
Russian territory. 1t was Subsc-
4uentIy alleged that the Russian
boundary marks had been removed
by the British. In those circum-
stances the government March IL
telegrnphed to it's representative III
China that it. thought the rights Of
the British or Russian troops to oc'
cupy the disputed points could be
best settled by Field Marshal Won
Waldersee, as the commander-in-
chief. aud General Gaselec (thc Brit
ish commander)) was instructed t"
request the field marshal to settle
the immediate differences, reserrino
for future examination he question
of the validity of the alleged private
rights. General Gaselec was also in :
structed to refrain from using force
except to repcl aggression.
On March 90, the alleged removal
of the Russian boundary pillar oc-
Cured and the government instruct
ed the British minister at Picking.
Sir Ernest Satow, that Great Britain
was ready to refer the facts to Field
Marshal Won Waldcrsre, on the ia
dcrstanding that if either side was
found to have committed an irreg-
nlarity it should apologize to tn"
other, The. government added that
the construction of the siding should
continue under whatever conditions
the field marshal thought fit to i'm
pose. Lord Landsdowne was glad to
say he had heard from the British
ambassador at st. Petersburg that
he Russian foreign minister, Count
Lumsdortie. had proposed that they
should agree to reserve all questions
of title and proprietary right for The
examination of the two governments.
and TINT in the meanwhile orders
be forthwith sent for the withdrawal
of the troops of both sides of the dis

Head of the United States Steel Cor

Washington, May 13.-Mr. Charles
NJ. Schwab, president of the United
States steel corporation, was before
the industrial commission Saturday.
He said that the United States COM
pany controls eight companies by
owning their stock, and that while
steps are taken to insure the good
will and the cooperat ton of all these
companies each one generally is left
to conduct business in it's own way.
AS rule the plan has been to take in
only companies which were not COM
petitors, but it was true that there
we're cases in which two institutions
of the same line were brought to-
gether, and in such cases the man
ayers were expected to get together
in making their plans for sales
Enumerating the advantages of con-
solidation, Mr.. Schwab said they were
found especially in transportation and
management and in the utilization of
all the ores owned. In this connec-
ton Mr.. Schwab said that the United
States company owns so per cent. of
the iron ore Of the country, and he
expressed the opinion that these ore
deposits must constantly grow in
value because limited. The company
makes from IS to Is per cent. of the
steel products of the country. He also
said that there had been no increase
in the price Of products since the or
ganiZation of the United States com
pany and that the tendency is toward
lower prices.
Mr.. Schwab took a position against
organized labor, saying that it did not

Warren Upham, secretary of the State
Historical society, has been exploring
the first ground that feet of white man
trod in Minnesota. It is Prairie island
in the Mississippi river, between Hast
ings and Red Wing, 10 miles long and
~ miles wide. Two Frenchmen Wis
tied the island in 1865, with about $50
Indians. and passed an entire summer
there. A copy of the manuscript re-
port of the trip to the island, and two
other visits which followed it, which
was written soon after the occurrences,
was hidden in England until 16 years
ago, when it was secured and pub
lished by the historical society of Mas

cured by the Minnesota society. Mr.
Upham's visit to the island was for the
purpose of verifying statements made

island by LeSueur in 1895, which was
unearthed by farmers while blowing
