NO FURTHER DAMAGE.
Kansas River Reported Falling at
Kansas City, But Rising
at Other Points.

Kansas City, Aug. 19.-The Kansas
river here fell about five inches during
the night, but rise was expected late
Tuesday. No further damage has been
done.
The Kansas river about here, at Law
renee and Topeka, continues to rise, and
the Smoky Hill, at Abilene, rose six
inches Monday night, covering a number
of fields. At Junction City and Salina
the rivers are stationary, indicating that
most of the excess water is near the
mouth of the Kansas, and will soon be
dissipated At Lawrence Harry Noah,
a member Of a bridge gang, was drowned
while working to strengthen the Union
Pacific bridge.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. Unreliable wa
ter gauges show the Kaw fell at least
seven inches during Monday night, and
is receding rapidly. All danger of food
damage at present seems passed, as re-
ports from Wamego and Manhattan
show similar condition of affairs. Street
car traffic is being resumed along the
river, and North Topeka has again set
tied down to business.

AGREES TO SIGN TREATY
Another Step Towards the Open
Door to China.
Prince Ching Consents to the Opening
of the Ports of Mukden
and Tatung Tao.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Minister Con-
ger, at Pekin, has secured written
promise from Prince Ching to sign on
October 8 a treaty with the United
States which will include a guarantee
that Mukden and Tatung Tao shall be
open ports. .,
Picking, Aug. 19.-The arrangement
made by Minister Conger for the signing
of treaty between China and the United
States providing for the opening of Muk-
den and Tatung Tao on the date of Rus
sia's promised final evacuation of Man
churia ends the stubborn resistance by
the Chinese which for some time prom
ised to be successful. Prince Ching made
one defense after another until all were
exhausted. He first argued Russian op-
position to the opening of these ports.
He then said that he was not informed
that Russia had consented to the open
ing Finally he refused on the ground
that China was unable to open towns
which were held by another power.
When the present settlement was pro-
posed with the explanation that China
must presume that Russia intended to
fulfill her evacuation agreement, Prince
Ching reluctantly gave in. Tatung Tao
is small port which does not promise
much business to attract foreigners in
the near future. Its opening is mainly
important as victory for the open door
principle.
