about an even affair. while the control

split in the Republican ranks.
A hot contest is being waged in Mas

a slight chance. Ohio also excites ones
curiosity as TO whether or not the Re

RIGHTS OF UNITED STATES
Secretary Hay Probably Urges
Speedy Ratification of
Recent Treaty.

Advices from the Oyient received by
the State Department indicate that Rus
sia and Japan have reached an agree
ment by which each gains and China
alone is the loser. BY it Japan is to con-
tinue her sway over Korea, supposedly
independent. and Russia is similarly to
dominate Manchuria.
Just how this affects the United States
or in what manner the United States is
to assert its rights to free trade in
Manchuria, Secretary Hay does not de-
fine, but it is more than probable that
his interview this morning with Senator
Cullom, in which he urged upon the
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations the necessity for the
speedy ratification Of the treaty with
China. has unusual Significance
Any delay in the rstihcation may mean
the total exclusions from Manchuria OF
American trade ard 1t also might mean
an estrangement between this country
and Russia.
Protests May Be Futile.
Should Russia obtain full sway in
Manchuria, the right of the United
States to free trade in Mukden and An
tung would be seriously impugned. and
undoubtedly be rendered null The State
Department in such case would hardly
go beyond protests. and these with a
country of Russia's caliousness would
kafdly be effectual.

SENATOR DIETRICH INDICTED
WORK OF FEDERAL GAND JURY
IN NEBRASKA.
The Senator and Postmaster Fisher Of
Hastings, Neb., Charged With Con-
spiracy and Bribery-Evidence Be-
fore Jury-other Cases to Come Up
First of the Kind Against Senator.

Omaha Nov. 18.-The federal grand
jury has returned true bills against
United States Senator Charles II.
Dietrich and Postmaster Jacob H. Fish
er of Hastings, Neb., charging them
with conspiracy and bribery in connec-
tion with the appointment of Fisher
to the position Of postmaster. The In
dictments were brought into the dis
trict court. Judge Munger presiding,
and were placed on file. The court
merely accepted the report Of the
grand jury, making no remarks on its
contents beyond making an order to
the clerk for filing of the bills.
The indictment against Senator Diet
rich charges that he accepted money
and property in consideration Of MS
recommending Fisher for appointment
as postmaster at Hastings. That
against Postmaster Fisher charges him
with making an agreement with oena-
tor Dietrich by which the former was
to pay in property and money $1300
for securing Fisher the appointment.
Evidence was presented to the
grand jury to show that Fisher had
bought postoffice fixtures from the
Grand Army post at Hastings, Of the
value of $500, and later turned the
property over to Senator Dietrich, to
whose building it was removed, and to
whom was paid rental by the govern
ment. In addition to turning over this
property, 1t is charged that Fisher
paid to the senator $500 in cash.
The members Of jury came from all
parts of the state, no two Of them be-
ing resident of the same town. The
foreman, Frank Il. White of Omaha, is
secretary Of the grand lodge of the
Masonic order Of Nebraska. The 9th
er members are mostly prominent
business and professional men. -Four
other cases, said to be Of similar
nature, are being investigated by tho
jury and report on all or part Of
them is expected very soon. All are
cases in which postofIices and post
masters are concerned.
This Indictment is said to be the
ture and caused intense excitement in
official circles in Nebraska when it be-
came public.
Postmaster Fisher was formerly
mayor Of Hastings and has been
prominent in republican politics Of Ne
braska for several years. He said in
Omaha:
"There is really nothing In the
charges, and my friends will support
me in my defense. If witnesses had
been permitted to have been cross-ex-
amined the result would have been
quite different and no indictment
would have followed. Men have push
ed this matter who were turned dswn
for reappointment and have trumped
up charges to get even"
