THERE is trouble between the Rus
SLAMS on the one hand, and the Ameri-
cans and British on the other, at New
Chwang, China. Russian soldiers OF
the garrison at that point, sent to ar
rest some British sailors for trivial
offense, broke into q reading room
where some American sailors were
reading, and arrested them. The
Americans resisted, using chairs, but
were overpowered by the armed Rus
slams, after q sharp fight. This stirred
up bad blood, and whenever the Amer
lean or British sailors meet any Russian
soldiers on the street, they proceeded
to give them drubbing with their
fists. The American sailors were from
the American gunboat, Vicksburg.
When the Russian commander de-
manded that the American Consul ar
rest and try the American sailors, the
Commander of the Vicksburg, E. B..
Berry, curuy refused. International
complications have resulted, and the
three nations are now trying to clear
the matter up.

bled on top the Chen Gate.
The Emperor and Empress Dowage

burned incense. The Empress Dow
ager upon emerging from the tempt
saw the foreigners peering down an
bowed. A double row Of soldiers
kneeling, lined the four mile route.

THE CANAL FIGHT.
There Will Probably Be a Warm
Contest in Congress.

The Trusts that control the Pacific
railroads are bringing all their tre-
mendous power to defeat the passage
of the Nicaragua canal bill. They
know that IL this canal is built aud
controlled by the Government it will
end their monopoly of freight and pas
senger traffic across the continent,
which includes not only the traffic of
the Pacific States, but of Asia as we'll.
Every vote in Congress that can be
bought by them will be purchased, and
every influence brought to bear that
can be mustered. The project 10 buy
the Panama canal, and its offer to our
Government for $40, 900, 600, seen only
diversions to prevent action by Con
gress.
| The friends of the canal, who are the
friends of the Government and the peo
pie, are aware of these facts, and the!
will suffer no delay. Mr.. Hepburn
who has the Nicaragua bill in hi
care, in the House, opened the fight Oh
Tuesday, in strong speech, in whicl
he showed that the Panama route wa
mot as geod a route, for our commerce
land was from 300 to 400 miles longe
than the Nicaragua route between {
is. ports.
The fact that the Senate ratified th
Nicaragua treaty by such an ovel
whelming majority indicates not onl
that the Senate will pass the Nicaral
qua bill, but that the House win pas
it by good majority. The Senate wi
wait for the House bill, and not have
bill of its own.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Interested in the Move
Against the Railway
Trust.

Washington, Jan. S.-The interest
of the President has been enlisted In
the fight which Minnesota and other
Northwestern States are ma king
against the Northwestern railroad COM
bination, which is being financed by
the Northwestern Securities Company.
Today Attorney General Douglas, OF
Minnesota, called at the White House
and asked the President to request At
torney Knox to 60 over the situation
with him with view of ascertaining
If possible, whether the gigantic "com
munity of railway interests" might bt
reached through the Sherman anti
trust law or the inter-state-comm
law. 1t is said that as long as tn
combination does not raise rates tn
interstate commerce commission vii
be unable to proceed against it. More
lover, the Sherman anti-trrst-law ia ad
mittedly weak and needs strengthen
liug.
The department of justice has bee
0CCduSS tA0 Sb6bubS A0A
to provide the proper machinery for II
rigid enforcement, and that it is not
difficult matter for trusts of any kin
to circumvent it. However, If the i,
formation which Mr.. Douglass has
his possession is sufficient to ju
tify the Attorney General in takir
action against the railroad combination
Mr.. Knox will doubtless do so.
But the most interesting develo
ment in the situation is the intere
which President Roosevelt has show
and his evident desire to have the fe
eral laws enforced provided they q
being violated. Congress has as y
done nothing with the Littlefield ant
trust bill, which provides for great
publicity concerning the working
J. trusts. The bill was referred to Il
Judiciary committee, and it is Mr.. L
tlefeld's intention to urge the comm
tee to give it consideration at
V earliest convenience.

Kingston, Ont, Jan. Sat meet,
ing of the Free Methodists at Verona,
one OF the brethren declared he could
fly and proceeded to demonstrate his
power. He launcned into space and
his head came in contact with large
coal oil lamp. The lamp fell to the
floor and the oil ignited. At one time
five men and three women were On
fire and FIVE out of the eight were
seriously burned. The flames spread
and caused a panic. Many were injured
in the stampede.

President Of Cuba.

Good wishes for q happy new year
are to be given cordially and with some
degree of confidence to the people OF
Cuba. They closed the old year well.
We might have wished them to do 90
better-might havS wished there were
to be no dispute over the election, and
no resentful abstention of q faction,
however small. from the polling. But
it might have been so much worsel AS
it Is, the little unpleasantness will pass
and only the good Of an orderly and
lawful election will remain. 1t Is to be
expected that the result of that election
will be Loyalty accepted by the Cuban
people, and will prove benefcent to
them all.
While the election was for various
officers of government, chief interest
attaches to the successful candidate for
the Presidency-the man who is to be
the first real President of Cuba. There
are those of US who remember Cespedes
and other nominal presidents, who
were merely titular heads of rebel
lion striving to become revolution
Indeed, Tomas Estrada Palma himself
once held such place. But these were
not in any effective sense Presidents Of
Cuba. The first such dignitary will
take Office early in the present year
As for his personality, it may be said
that he is well known to Americans
well known in the senses of both widely
and favorably known. He Is remem
bered by many as the stern revolution
ist of the Ten Years. War, urged tt
the conflict by the double desire to lib
crate his native land and to avenge hii
mother, who had been starved to death
by brutal Spanish jailers; as the nomi
nal president of the Cuban Republic
and as a prisoner in Spanish jail.
By others he is remembered as 9
high officer of state in Contra
American Republic, being then in ex
lie from Cuba. To all he Is known ai
the foremost representative and advo
cate of the Cuban cause in this country
during the last war. He was not mere
ly the head of the Junta; he was the
Junta. Never did a revolutionary
cause have a representative more
faithful, more efficient or more univer
sally accepted. Five years ago Il
would have seemed absurd to question
the conspicuous ftnes Of Mr.. Palma t.
be the chosen head of the CubaI
people. We know Of nothing which
has occurred since then to impair tina
fitness or to diminish the conddenc,
and esteem in which he was held b,
his countrymen. 1t is therefore to b'
believed that in choosing him-as the!
have practically done-the Cuban
have done we'll. 1t Is we'll that he
q man of ripe years and long expe
rience. 1t is we'll that for many year
past he has been Unidentified with civi
rather than with military affairs, TO
Gu ba has now no more need Of fighting
| 1t Is we'll that he known and is knows t,
the United States and is inclined t,
remain in close and cordial relations
with it--N. Y. Tribune.

The Spirit of Winter.

The Spirit of Winter is with us, making its
presence known In many different ways
sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine and glisteninl
SHOWS, and sometimes by driving winds ana
binding storms. To many people it seems to
to take delight In making bad things worse
for rheumatism twists harder, twinges sharp
er, catarrh becomes more annoying, and the
many symptoms Of scrofula are developed
and aggravated. There is not much poetry
in this, but there is truth. and it is wonder
that more people don't get rid of these all
ments. The medicine that cures them
Hoods Sarsaparilla-is easily obtained and
here is abundant proof that its cures are
radical and permanent.

THERE is considerable speculation at
Norfolk over the fact that provisions,
ammunition, two portable houses and
a number of marines are being shipped
from that port for some unknown des-
tination. It is probably for some OF the
disturbed ports in South America, or
for the occupation of the Danish West
India islands.
