AUTHORITY WITH 4 STRING.
Chinese Diplomats Not Allowed to Make
Final Bargain.

Washington, March 1.-THE pleni-
potentiaries OF the powers who are en-
gagged at Shanghai in negotiating trade
treaties with the Chinese commission
ers have discovered what they regard as
flaws in the credentials Of the Chinese
agents which may make 1t impossible
for them to bind their government to
treaty form. The matter already has
been brought to the attention of the
state department, and Mr.. Conger is
asking for advice, he, too, being en-
gagged in the negotiations.
It appears that the Chinese commits.
sioners must memorialize the throne
before the treaties will have force, and
the powers object to this lack of au-
thority on the part OF the commission.
ers. Because Mr.. Conger will have to
refer any treaty be may draw up to his
government here for approval, precise
ly as the Chinese commissioners must
do on their side, the United States
government is not in position to pro-
test very strongly against the sufficien-
cy Of the Chinese cedentials, so that
Mr.. Conger will go on with this treaty
makings, while doing his best to have
the Chinese credentials enlarged.

PRESIDENTS TRIP WEST.
Win Leave Washington About April 1st
and Not Return, Until June.

Washington, March l4.--PTesident
Rosevelt's contemplated western trip
was a subject of some discussion at the
white house today. Senator'S Long, of
Kansas, and Hopkins, Of Illinois, and
Fourth Assistar.. Postmaster General
Brisow, OF Kansas, talked with the
presidenE about his tour. The Kansas
people are urging the president to make
some stops in their state after the de-
dication Of the exposition grounds on
April 80. Only one stop has thus far
been arranged. The president has ac-
cepted an invitation to attend meet
ing OF the railway branch Of the ". m.
G. A., to be held at Topeka May /.
Few other details of the itinerary have
been worked out. It has been decided
with practical deRniteness that only
one trip will be made.
While no date for the beginning of
the trip can be fixed definitely until
the senate shall have adjourned, it is
expected now that it will not be far
from April l.. After leaving Washing
ton the president win not return to
Washington until some time in June.
1t is likely that the first two or three
weeks OF the trip viii be passed prin-
cipally in the Yellowstone park. There
the president will seek rest and recre-
alton, but it is understood that he will
do little hunting.

ward that he was supporting a crippled
mother and an invalid sister who had
been left helpless in the world by the
death of her father. He might have
run away from home and eyaded the

He just sold papers.
At the loop on 10Th street a crowd
was gathered, waiting for the evening
cars. A ragged little girl was selling
flowers at the 10Th street end Of the
waiting station when man, rushing to
catch his car, knocked her against the
side Of the building. Without stopping,
probably not having noticed what he
had done he continued his rush, when
the boy stepped in front Of him, de
family.
"Say, what do you want to knock a
girl down for? Hit me; I'm big enough" I"
The man paused In surprise, and then
glanced around, He saw the flower girl
picking up her wares, and understood.
without a moments hesitation he went
back to her, gave her money enough
to make her eyes sparkle with JOY, and
said;
"I'm sorry, my dear, that hurt YOU
didn't see." Then, turning to the boy,
he continued: You said you We're big
enough, young man but you9e a great
deal bigger than you think. Men like
you will have lot to do with keeping
this old world in a condition of self
Vspect."
Then he caught his car and the boy

Midway Islands VIII Be Protected from
Roving Japanese Sailors.

koFlH& JdpanSSG SaAkOEss
Washington, March IS, - The presi-
dent by executive order has turned the
Midway islands over TO the navy de-
partment. This was done at the in
stance the Pacific cable company, which
has asked for the protection of its props
erty on the islands. Rowing Japanese
sailors are in the habit of landing on
the islands for the plumage Of sea fowl
and for guano. II is probable that the
navy will estabIish small station on
the islands and American warshipa will
make practice of touching there much
more frequently than they have done
in the past. The islands are two in
number, Sand island, having 6SS acres,
and Eastern island, 245 acres. There
is harbor afffording about is feet Of
water. The islands are deemed essen
tial to the operation Of the Pacific
cable, which will touch there on its
western route from Hawaii.

New Orleans, March 10. = 1t Is gem
orally admitted by government, state
and city authorities that the Missis-
sippi river will in all probability break
all records before the present Hood be-
gins 70 Iecede. The gauge here tonight
shows the river to be just one foot be-
low the high water record. and every
precaution Is being taken to prevent
serious damage and to prepare for emer-
gencies.
All the levee lines are being inspect
ed and large forces of men are at work
day and night. Though all the su-
thorities admit that record stage is
probable, they maintain that the leyee
system is higher and stronger than ever
before, and that the banks are pre-
pared to Withstand the extra strain.
The most unfortunate condition at
present ID the continuance Of the rainy
weather. This is having the effect OF
softening the Ievees and all Louisiana
is praying for a return Of sunshine.
Six hundred men are at work today at
various points sackiDg weak points and
raising the line OF embankments.
Thousands OF sacks OF sand are being
distributed along the river. The engi-
neers report the levees between South
Port and CarrolIton in excellent con-
dition. The United States engineer
officials have promised their CO..
operation with the authorities in carry
ing on the fight against the food. All
the Ievee boards Of the state may be in
continuous session and every foot of
levee on the river is under surveillance
OF armed guards.

Empire State E,pre,s in Foo,-BaI.

The New York Central's Empire State
Express is recognized as the swiftest and
surest train operated by Americas greatest
railroad, and considered the very best means
to cover the ground in the time required. 1t
is for this reason that the Harvard Uni
versity football team named their best and
surestplay Of the season of 1902 1.-THE Empire
State Express" for they believed it to be
the most reliable play in their programme.
1t was successful throughout the season
until it met Yale's '20th Century Limited
play, which was just as swift, safe and sure,
buthad longer endurance and was ''limited"
only by the size of the field. The names of
the rival teams very correctly describe the
difference In the famous trains, the Empire
State' running only from New York to
Buffalo, while the '20th Century Limitedn
makes the $50 miles between New York and
Chicago in twenty hours every day of the
year. Great is the New York Central and
great are the trains it operates-swift, safe
and reliable.-FrOm The Brooklyn Standard
