there has been no joint action as between
the United States and the two powers
named, yet 1t is fact that the preamble
ito the new treaty might be regarded as
almost paraphrase Of the position Of

have little concern The sovereignty OF
Russia or China over Manchuria would
be to us an immaterlaI issue so long as
American ships are free to sail into Man
churian ports on even terms with Rus
sian ships; so long as American products
may be entered in Manchuria at the
same tariff rates as Russian; and so long
as American railroad and mining project
ors may operate in Manchuria as freely
as those of any other nation. In other
words the United States is contending
for the open door" in Manchuria, and
il recognizes in this new treaty sup
port liz its contention. 1t is understood
that the Japanese Minister and the Brit
ish and Russian Ambassadors here are
fully acquainted with this attitude OF
the United States.

(By the Associated Press.l

Groton, Mass, Feb. 12.-If Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr.. continues, for the next
twenty four hours in his present condl-
tion, his physicians have given the Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt to believe that
their sons vitality will be sufficient for
him to meet and pass successfully the
crisis in his disease. which is looked for
some time tomorrow, and on Friday
morning he will be practically out of
danger.

that the night had been good one, and
that should the favorable condition con-
tinue for forty-eight hours the danger
would be passed.
After the examination by the doctors
tonight, Secretary CorteIyou said that
the crisis in the right lung, that in the
left having been passed, would probably
be reached before tomorrow night So
confident are the President and his wife
that their son will pass through this
crisis In good shape that the President IS
already making some slight preparations
to leave for Washington. Tonight 1t looks
as if he might start some time Friday
The 8 O'clock report of the boys con-
dition was the most important one of
today. Mr.. Cortelyou said that the left
lung had cleared considerably during
the day, that the boys temperature, res
nfration and ft,lSa had shOWn but little
variation. The clearing up of the left
lung will enable the boy TO meet the
crisis In the right lung better. What Is
known as resolution has set in in his
left lung. Mr. cortelyou said that no
change had been made in the program for
Prince Henry's visit. The President viii
not give up his trip to Charleston, but
will go there after Prince Henry leaves
Quite unexpectedly Mr.. Cortelyou
made a sick room report at IL o'clock,

up both sides of the staircase When
they had finished the lady suddenly ap.

claring that her husband thought more
of his flowers than Of her by bringing
earth into the house. Nothing would

the divorce did not take place.

back to change his tie. But down came
the lady Of the house In furious rage,

that pink shirt and a green tie was the
best of taste, and she would not re-

Sol Smith Russell was born at Bruins

out, he went to the front as a drum

play the drum in theater at Cairo, Ill,
and thence he went on the stage, sing
