Washington, Sept. 1O.-While Mr..
Laesser's notice of the intention of the
Russian government to eXpel foreign
ers from Manchuria has been formal
ly brought to the attention of the state
department, it can be predicted safely
that for the present, at least, our gov
eminent will look upon this matter as
one involving Russia, China and Eng
land and as one in which it is not di-
reotly concerned. So far as is known
here, there are no Americans in that
section of China, and if it should ap-
pear later that there are some Amer
lean prospectors in that country it is
not probable the decree would be en-
forced in their case, as, while general
in terms, the decree really is aimed at
the British and marks a determina-
ton on the part of Russia to retain
the actual control of customs in Man
churia in her own hands, while nom
inally recognizing Chinese sovereignty.
The British customs employees re-
ferred to are British by nativity, but
are actually in the employ of the Chi
nese government, and it may be that
Russia will insist that the question
raised by Mr.. Laessar's order concerns
only Russia and China. 1t is improb-
able, however, that the British govern
ment will take this view of the mat
ter, and it is fully expected that the
British minister at Pekin viii call on
the Chinese government to retain these
British customs officials, despite the
Russian order

TOBACCO AND IT'S SLAVES.
Some Curious Facts Relative to Weed
Not Generally Known.
washington Pos

washington PoSt)
Tobacco is a thing of mystery. Some
of it's features and peculiarities are be-
yond the ken of mortal man. No
doubt a gentleman of profound erudi-
ton and unanswerable logic might go
to st. Johns parish, Louisiana, and
after conventional scrutiny prepare a
paper proving exclusively that perique
tobacco can be produced just as well
in Rapides or in Terrebonne as there
No doubt a highly scientific analysis
of the soil near Tampico, Mexico,
would show that in all chemical re-
spects it is identical with that of the
Vuelta Abajo, in Pinar del Rio prov
ince, Cuba. But can any true smoker
be converted to either of these beliefs?
1t is easy enough, perhaps, to prove
thing on paper with formulate, etc,
the question is one of proving it to the
satisfaction of the consumer. There
is very great difference. whole
library of calculations and statistics
goes for nothing when the untutored
smoker takes the weed in his teeth
and subjects it to the vulgar test of
use.
The question, then, degenerates into
one of personal, though doubtless I'M
informed. taste. There are nameless
and indescribable factors In the equa-
ton. There are mysteries as astound-
ing as the mystery of life itself.
The most constant and faithful de-
voice of tobacco cannot tell whether
or not his cigar is burning if you
blindfold him or put him in a pitch
dark room. He may resort to unlawful
means. He may burn his fingers at
the lighted end or he may inhale the
smoke. But, in default of one or the
other. of these expedients he has not
the faintest idea whether he is smok-
ing or not smoking. Take off the band
age or light the room so that he can
see and in a second he becomes an
EXPERT and can discriminate between
the genuine Vuelta Abajo article, and
the best cigar produced in any other
mart of the world. No one has ever
vet explained it. The fact remains.
Similarly, no one can give scien-
tific reason why cigars fully equal to
those made in Pinar del Rio cannot be
nroduced in Mexico with the same
seed. the same handlers and makers
and with soil chemically Identical.
Similarly. no one has yet been able to
expound the impossibility of raising
the real perique tobacco in Louisiana
outside of a certain very limited To-
calitv. These problems do not yield to
science. so far as the smoker is con-
cerned. The mysteries we have men
toned still stare science in the lace.

BALLAD OF THE BANsHEE.

(Bv Rev. James b DoIlard c.sliav-na-
Back aSs thro' the hills l hurried home
Ever my boding soul would saw
Mother and sister bid thee come
Long 100 long, has been thy stay"
Stars shone out but the moon was pale
= Iouched bv black clouds ragged rim
SI Iqyn heard the Banshee's wall
w mere Malmor's war tower rises grim
Quickly I strobe across the slope
Passed tb1arov and the Fairy Mound
tGloomy the moat where blind owls
Scarcely breathing, glanced around.
Mother of mercyi there she sat
e,t "A woman clad in a snow-white shroud
Streamed her hair to the damp moss-mat
White the face on her bosom bowed
Spirit of Woe" I eager cried.
Tell me none that l love has gone
Cold is the grave"-my accents died
The Banshee lifted her face so wan.
Pale and wan as a waning moon
Seen when the sun-spears herald dawn
Ceased all sudden her dreary Groom
Full on my own her wild eyes shone.
Burned and scared my inmost soul
(When shall sorrow depart from me?)
Black-winged terror upon me stole
Blindly cropping, l turned to flee.
Back by the grove and haunted mound
Ger the lone road | know not how
Hearkened afar my baying hound
Home at last at the low hills brow.
Lone the cottage-the door flung wide
Four lights burned-oh. sight of dread!
Breathing a prayer. I rushed inside.
Mercy, God!' twas my mother, dead!
Dead and white as the fallen leaf
(Kneeling. my sister prayed near by)
Wild as I wrestled with my grief
Far and faint came the Banshee's cry.

GYPSIES IN HUNGARY

London, Sept lin dispatch from
Vienna the correspondent of the Daily
Express describes a fiendish crime which
has been committed at Maria Rabna, in
Hungary. Two hundred pilgrims were
journeying to the shrine of the virgin.
They were unable to find necessary lodg-
ings and spent the night in a barn. A
body of Wallachian gypsies appeared on
the scene and robbed the sleeping pill
grirns they then set fire to the barn and
an indescribable panic ensued. Eight of
the pilgrims were burned to death, some
were seriously injured and many of them
were crushed.

After the conference Mr.. Widener
went to see ]. P. Morgan at the latter's

ence- to end the strike. Ten minutes

declined to interfere.

ment: Attorney General Ell1in, Sen
ator Flynn and myself have been in
consultation for several hours today

are doing what we can"
Governor Stone was asked what
progress toward a settlement had been

nication had been had from Mr.. Nor
