The Open Door N kancluria

Secretary Hays formal protest against
| the secret convention between China and
Russia is diplomatic move Of the first i'm
portance. Forwarded on the 1st of February,
although first published last Friday morning
by the New York "Sunn, it anticipated by
some the publication of the Anglo-Jspsnese
alliance the moral effect of which it undoubt
edly strengthens. Secretary Hay has an in.
terest of very personal sort in this negotia
ton, for it was his initiative and patience
sohich, in the spring of 1900, gained assu-
RANGES from all the Powers, including Rus
sia, that the open door would be maintained
in China.
The correspondence, which 1oss chiefly
concerned with foreign "spheres of in6uen.
&c" and leased territory in the Chinese Em.
pire, is now of exceptional interest, since
Russia scas principally affected by this inter.
national agreement. Secretary Hay beyond,
uniform tariff regulations, desired assurances
that it seas not the purpose Of Russia to
interfere with other nations, and that our
citizens scould continue to enjoy within said
leased territory oil the rights and privileges
guaranteed them under existing treaties
with Ohina". 1t is interesting, in view Of
subse auent events, to recall that Mr. Hay

first Powers which had fallen in with the

This assurance is Secretary Hays war.
rant for protesting against the exclusive |
concession of railway and mining rights |
in Manchuria to Russian companies. His
intention is not primarily political, but
commercial. The note is quite compatible
with Russia'd full enjoyment Of her natural
advantages in Manchuria; it simply points
out that Russia should not, contrary to trade
seek exclusive trade advantages.
No other nation could more properly call
the Empire to account in this matter, for
no other is 30 completely devoid of political
ambition in the premises. Secretary Hays
protest, in fact, is technically quite COM
patible with the Russian occupation Of
even with its annexation, pro-
Fided existing commercial privileges are

originally made to the budget com
mittee was for the maintenance of
one regiment This action has led
to the belief that another German
regiment is now on Its way to the
far east. The question of Russian
domination In Mauchuria is the
leading topic in all diplomatic cir
cles, and it is believed that the
United States, and Japan and Eng
land will act in concert in this mat
ter. Vi
Some European journals have
gone as far as to say that the diplo
matte note Of Secretary Hay was
sent at the time it was, so as to give
a stronger effect to the publication
Of the Anglo Japanese treaty. Its
further asserted that Germany is

dent Rooseveps special message on
the subject of Cuban reciprocity
was to-day received by the lower
House. The President makes an
appeal for the passage Of the Cuban
reciprocity resolutions, and asks
the Republican majority in the
House 10 act together and torce the
enactment of this measure. The
message will be taken up at a meet
ing OF the Republican majority
which will be held this evening.
In is generally believed that
despite the unusual action Of the
President, reciprocity cannot pass,
and that the efforts of the Admins
tration will have no result The
opposition is as strong TO day as
ever, and grows more SO as the
subject is being discussed.

Secretaries have promised to have some
real ball players on hand. While some
people doubt that this is possible, we must
accept their word and be present to see
what kind Of goods they finally deliver.
The Tressurers and Interiors will also
play on Saturday afternoon, and the keen
rivaly whick exists between these two mines
will surely result in hard fought game.
The Tressurers by winning last Saturdays
