NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Russia Agrees TO Open Door.

The open door in China is assured.
After years OF hard work Secretary
Hays efforts have been crowned with
success, and what threatened for a
time to be serious difficulty wi h Rus
sia is Strengthened out in a most AMIGA
bic manner The State Department re-
ceived official assurancesirom the Chi
nese government that in the near future
1t would open to the worlds trade sew
eral new ports in Manchuria. two. and
possibly three, are now being consd
cred in this connection. Not only has
the Chinese government given this noti-
fication. but Russia has officially con-
veyed the formal assurance to the
United States that it will not oppose
in any way the opening OF these ports.
This means that the details which will
undoubtedly include the making OF
treaty are to be arranged by the repre-
sentatives OF the powers at Peking. and
until this is done the particular ports
to be thrown open will not be known.
but IT is understood that they will be
Mukden. the most important internal
port OF Manchura. and Ia Tung Kao.
on the Yula River. Although in the
official communications received no
time is set for the opening of these
ports, it is understood that the promul-
CATION will be issued soon after the
Russian evacuation in September.
1t was stated that before Count Cas-
SIM lett Washington, and during the
call OF Secretary Hay upon the Russian
Ambassador at the embassy on June
2S' the intimation was given by the Rus
sian Ambassador that he was author
ized by his government to state that the
pledges given by his government that
Russia would not interfere with China's
granting OF the open door in Manchu-
ria were then in process OF realization.
1t is stated that he further assured the
Secretary OF State that before he
reached his home the formal announce
ment OF the open door would be made.
Later Mr.. Hansen, the charge OF the
Russian embassy, during his call at the
State Department. reiterated these
pledges and reduced them to the form
ot written promises. intimating that he
would be able within a few days to add
hnal Improvement OF the government to
his undertaking.
1t now remains for Mr. Conger to de-
fine the treaty which he is negotiating
with China the terms and conditions
under which the new ports are to be
opened.

Refuses TO Receive l..

The State Department has received
reply from Russia stating that it
neither would receive nor consider the
matter OF the Jewish petition on the
subject OF the Ksheneff outrages. This
information came in the form OF a cable
gram from Mr.. Riddle, the American
charge at ST. Petersburg, to whom was
committed the delicate task OF inquir-
ing OF the Russian government as to its
attitude with respect to the presenta-
tion OF the petition.
1t is believed that this will end the
matter and that no further steps will be
taken by this government to bring the
views OF the petitioners to the atten-
ton OF Russia. although as yet no CON
sideration has been given by the Presi-
dent to the course to be pursued in the
light OF Russia's response to our in
quiry.
The reply that Russia would make to
al! suggestions on the subject OF the
kishenef massacre was forecasted
some weeks ago in an authorized state
ment, when the public was definitely in
formed that Russia regarded the affair
as an internal matter, as to which She.
IN the exercise OF her own sovereignty.
must refuse to receive suggestions
from any other government or outside
source.

CONSIDERED OF srRATEGlcAL VALUE.
The State Department Ready TO Answer Lord
Lansdowne's Inquiry When II Arrives and
justly the Raising Of the American Flag
Over the Seven Islands OF the Coast Of
Borneo- How They Came Iuto Our Possession

No communication has yet reached the
State Deartment from the British gov
ernment about several islands off the
coast of Borneo, now in possession of the
United States, which some members of
the House of Commons seem to think
belong to Great Britain.
The State Department, however, Is
prepared to give a prompt and conclu-
sive answer when Lord Lansdowne's
inquiry reaches here. Before leaving
Washington Secretary Hay looked per-
sonally into the matter and satisfied him
self that the British government had not
the shadow of claim on the islands in
question. When the inquiry reaches
here Acting Secretary Loomis. in reply
ing, will call the attention of the Lon
don government, first, to the treaty of
1885 beween Great Britain, Germany and
Spain, by which the last-named nation
was TO have title over all the islands
outside marine leagues distance of the
Bornco Coast. Later, in the treaty
which this government negotiated with
tlc SuIldll OF yOlO lot tHe purchase OF
certain islands belonging to him, a
dragnet clause was inserted, claiming for
the United States all those islands which
had been ceded to Spain by the treaty of
1855. On file in the office of Rear Ad-
mral Bradford, chief of the Bureau of
Equipment, are the charts and maps
showing the location Of the seven islands
in controversy. Bagnan, Taganac. Bak-
kungaan, Lihiman, Boaam, Siboung and
Langkayan. The islands are clearly out
side OF the marine league OF the Borneo
Coast, and, therefore. under the terms
OF the two treaties, belong to the United
States.
1t is said at the Navy Department that
facts, recently sent one OF the Philip
pine gunboats to the islands to survey
them and mark them as American terri
tory.
1t is explained that the islands have
stratesical importance, and for this rea-
son the United States. under no circum-
stances would part with them.

SLEEP THAT ENDS IN DEATH.
Pope Leo Lying In Coma on Brink Of
Eternity.

Rome (By Cable)-The Pope lies
IN state OF coma. and there are grave
doubts in the minds OF his doctors
whether he will ever completely emerge.
His immediate dissolution seems to be
only averted by the reliability OF the
action of his heart His pulse, though
weak, continues steady. Shortly after
midnight DR.. Lapponi said:
The Pope at the present moment is
in state OF coma, which may be called
a condition preceding the last agony,
the duration OF which it is impossible
to forecast, although everything leads
TO the belief that this condition cannot
last. To be more exact he is still in a
state OF torpor and stupor from which,
however, he rouscs occasionally when
he hears sharp sounds as, for instance,
the insistent voice OF one OF his famil-
lars calling loudly for him. Left alone
he relapses Immediately into a condi-
tion OF torpor. At intervals he muir
murs in his sleep, continuing to have
iorebodings that he is being abandoned
by his valet, Centra, and myself. These
are the symptoms of incipent cerebral
anemia and general exhaustion.
He can no longer turn in his bed
without assistance, and is being kept
alive by artificial stimulants. During
the last % hours he has had two injec-
tions OF camphorated oil, three OF caf-
feline and two hypodermcs OF salt wa
ter. besides drinking stimulants."
