Russia Has Not Withdrawn.

London, March 20. Replying TO Sir
Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett conservative
who asked in the house of commons
Monday whether Russia had presented
China with a modified agreement re-
garding Manchuria, and whether Rus
STA had withdrawn from the so-ealled
concert of Europe, the under foreign
secretary, Lord Cranborne, said the
government understood that the terms
of the proposed agreement were still
under discussion, but he was unable
TO make any positive statement on
that subject. The Russian govern
ment, he added. had informed the gov
eminent of Great Britain that Russia
had no intention of Withdrawing from
cooperation with the other powers in
China.

POLITICAL P0T-PIE

This deprived them Of good fat
pickings, and for this they are anx-
ious to get an opportunity to play
even with the Considines by having
them convicted Of murder in the
first degree or anything else that viii
put them behind the bars. Even the
Democratic party is anxious to make
much of the situation, because it will
keep up a political disturbance in
the Republican party and thereby be
the means Of a few Of them getting
into office occasionally, as happened
last year when little Billy White,
Sheriff Van de Vanter and J. NJ.
Frink we're defeated by the dis
gruntled Tom Humes factions in
this county and state. That the
Democrats expect to profit by the
political complications that this case
will naturally produce in Republican
circles is plain to be seen, and, if the
Pie-maker is not mistaken, they are
working it for all there is in it. And
thus for the sake Of political prefer
ment mems lives are to be jeopar-
died and their liberties taken away
from them.

1t would appear that the hundred
eyed monster published in this city
has been visited once more by the
gang and its price promptly put up,
for it fatty came out last Saturday
and announced that Tom Humes
could not be defeated for the mayor
atty Of this city next spring. Now,
when this hundred-eyed monster
speaks thusly you can always put it
down that it has gotten its price and
the same is snugly tucked away in
the bank, free from political corro-
sion or disturbances. This journal
istic monster has denounced the
Humes element in the most vile
terms until recently, when it sud
denly experienced a political change
Of heart, and has announced that it
Is ready to again support the vilest
administration that was ever seen in
the Northwest for a continuance in
the municipal affairs of Seattle. The
Ple-maker is not prepared to say that
Tom HumeS will not be nominated.
lie may be, yea, the odds are in his
favor; but the Pie-maker is prepared
to say that, if he is nominated, he
will be defeated at the polls, not by
factional Republicans, but by the

The indications at present show
that the next municipal campaign in
this city will be fought between the
wide-open policy men and the decent
policy men, that is to say, the issue
will be, shall the city be run as a
Wide-Open town or one under the in
fuence Of law and order? AS far as
the Republican party is concerned it
will be split in twain on that issue,
and it remains for the Democratic
party to take advantage of the con-
ditlon that will prevail in the Re
publican party and elect some good
man. If they will nominate some
man who will give assurance of run
nlng a decent town, he will stand a
good show of being elected, because
OF the fact that it seems utterly i'm
possible for the different factions in
the Republican party to ever get to-
gether, owing to the extreme views
each entertain on the moral status of
this city. The followers of Tom
Humes want gambling vices run
ming in all their vile and vicious
forms. The opposition want to see
the city run in a decent, business
like way, in which the citizens will
have some protection while passing
to and from their homes.

not propose to have the city run as
private resort and a public nuis-
ance to which all of the cut-throats,
thugs, thieves and scoundrels in gen
eral can flock thither and be protect
ed by the officials Of the city. Let
the edict go forth at this moment
that Tom Humes will not be elected,
though he may be nominated. How
ever, it is the intention Of large
number 0 fthe Republicans Of this
city to endeavor to prevent his re-
nomination, and unless the Pie
maker is sadly mistaken they will be
successful in their endeavor, the

Irrespective Of what the decision
of the civil service police board may
be in the Dickinson Van Kuren case,
there is no doubt in the minds of
every citizen in this community,
after having read the testimony
which was produced pro and con,
that those boys were horsewhipped
at the police headquarters the night
that they were detained in jail for
alleged disturbing the peace in the
Grand opera house, and, regardless
of what may have been the cause for
taking those boys to the police head
quarters, it is to the burning shame
and disgrace Of this civilized com
munity that young men should be
hOrsewhipped in the police head
quarters, and especially young men
whose parents could be reached by
messenger service in less than thirty
minutes and by telephone almost
instantly. These young men are de
serving, if they had broken the law,
Of no more consideration at the
hands Of the officials than the poor
est, meanest and most despicable
young man in this or any other COM
munity, but it would be equally dis
graceful and brutal if three hobos
were horsewhipped in the city jail
because forsooth they were a bit I'M
ruly. If it be true that these young
men were horsewhipped up there,
then it stands to reason that every
man that is placed in the Jail for
petty offense may be horsewhipped
by the officials on duty if he happens
to show any stubbornness after he
is taken to the headquarters. That
this condition of affairs is not known
to the chief and large per cent. Of
the officials, The Republican verify
believes, but that there are some who
not only know it, but practice it, is
likewise verify believed, and such
scoundrels should not only be dis
missed from the service, but crimi-
nally prosecuted after they have been
dismissed.

Mr.. Melody Choir, who is some
thing of pioneer in this city, and
who is well acquainted with a thing
or two in connection with the cty's
affairs, is asking a few pertinent
questions of those persons who are
asking and advertising for a library
site for the city of Seattle. Evi-
IDENTIFY, from the tone Of Mr.. Choir's
interrogations, he scents a scandal
afar in the purchasing and locating
of library site for this city, and,
having the city's best interests at
heart, he proposes to forestall such
a thing if possible by putting the
question properly before the public
before it is too late If the city
council has authorized any one or
any class of citizens to purchase d
library site and to erect a building
thereon, the records do not seem to
show the same Then the question
naturally arises, who is responsible
for all this talk and newspaper ad-
vertising for library site, if the city
council has not authorized any one
to take any steps in that direction?
That Seattle is sadly in need Of
library there is no question, and that
she must have one at an early date
or forfeit a princely gift made to her
for that purpose by Andrew Carne-
gle is also beyond question; but until
the city council has clad some one
with the proper authority to do such
there should be less bluffs made at it.
Unless Judge Emory grants an
other continuance John w. COnsi-
dine will be put on trial next MOe-
day morning for his life. James
Hamilton Lewis, the leading attor-
ney in the case, is now in New I DIRK
and telegraphed to the court asking
a continuance until he can get here.
Whether the court will extend this
courtesy or not remains to be seen,
but it is most likely that the case
will be begun next Monday. Much
of the bitterness against the Consl-
dimes has been lost sight Of since the
matter has been allowed to sleep for
a season, and it is predicted that
Tom Considine's case will be thrown
out of court and thatJohn Considine
will be acquitted, not only Of muir
der, but Of any charge whatever.
Had any other man in the county or
the state Of Washington acted as did
John Considine when he was at
tackled by the deceased Meredith,
the act Of shooting Meredith, for
which he is now under charge of
whom he killed in self-defense, he
would have been commended and
praised by the entire community for
murder in the first degree. And the
coroner's jury would have turned
any other man save and except John
Considine loose, and the prosecuting
attorney would have been roundly
condemned in every part Of the
country for trying to prosecute an
innocent man; but the Times and q
few others are endeavoring to make
political capital out Of the whole at
fair, and the Considines are to bt
tried in order that some political ad
vantage can be had by aspiring poll
ticians in this community. The
Tom Humes element in the Repub
lican party are anxious to have thu
Considines convicted because JOIN
Considine was instrumental in clos
