phasized the extent of Russian military and
industrial predominance and the beneficial
results which have followed the introduce
ton into Manchuria by Russia of railroads

the Anticipated Chinese methods of COM

1t is also pointed out that French interests
in southern China are Identical with those
of Russia in northern China, as the Chi
nese territory abutting on French Tonquin
bears the same relation to France that
Manchuria does to Russia. Advices recently
received at the foreign Office indicated dis
turbances along the French-Chnese border
following the removal of Viceroy Lu, and
1T was then semi-officially announced that
French troops would be moved across the
border If French interests were further
menaced. This corresponds to the Russian
course In the north, where Russian troops
originally occupied Manchuria on the
ground that this step was necessary for the
protection of Russian interests

ATTITUDE OF FRANCE.
Active Support or Acquiesence In Rus
sia's Plan Expected.

A dispatch from Paris yesterday says:
Owing to the absence of Foreign Minister
Delcasse. foreign office officials maintain re-
serve in the matter of the Russian terms
for the evacuation Of Manchuria, but the
belief seems to be generally accepted that
strong ties existing between France and
Russia assure at least sympathetic support
of Russia's position or else silent acquies-
cence.
It is pointed out that France and Russia
have been in accord throughout in the mat
ter Of policy toward China; furthermore,
the view prevails In well-informed circles
that the continuance Of the bonds Of amity
between Russia and France Is of far greater
importance than any question relating to
China.

the government have made extensive tours

Washington, Jan. 24.LPhilip Doblin
was the first witness called today by
the house commission on naval affairs
which is investigating the charges
made by Representative Leesler that
he had been approached with an offer
of money for his vote. Doblin said that
he had no employment at present, but
was employed by the republican COM

and attended to the distribution of
literature. He was also a deputy in the
office of superintendent of elections.
he did what he could to aid in the
election of Representative Lessler, and
stood ready to serve Lessler in any
way he could and made Lessler's of

had known Representative Quigg and
detailed a conversation he had with
Quigg relative to the Holland submar-

talked over the bill to build submar-
inc torpedo boats, and Quigg said he
would try to get Lessler favorably dis

Doblin said: "Quigg said he was not
personally interested in this thing.
There is some. friend of mine whom I
desire to favor, il / can. II can get
what want there will be $4,000 in it,.
Then he said: Il think can make 1t

E. John A. McCullagh, superintendent
of elections in New York, testified that
he had met Lessler at the latter's room
in the hotel at Washington. He told
Lessler he came from a friend who had
no interest in the Holland boat. but
who was a believer in that vessel, to
ask him (Lessler) to vote for the ap-
preparation. Lessler replied that he
could not support the proposition.
McCullagh denied Lessler's statement
that he came to Washington on behalf
of men who could defeat Lessler's
election. He had in no way intimated
to Lessler that his act would in any
way effect his election. He said his
visit to Lessler was purely question
of friendship for a friend of twenty
five wears.

Muscatine. Jan. 2l.-The finding of
the dead body of Mart Woods, recently

u sensation here today. Woods served
seven years in the states prison for

here that Woods was disposed of to
prevent him revealing anything fur

persons. 1t is known that the real insti-

without asking consent or anybody.
Now the Iowa Telephone company
claims that the streets OF city are,
"highways'' in the same class as rural
roads and therefore 1t cannot be driven
from the streets. The real significance
Of the case is that II the contention OF
the company is sustained by the su :
preme court all franchises in the state
will be rendered worthless and COM:
panies may come and go in the cities
and towns OF the state without there
being any power to prevent or regulate.
Other companies that hold what they
regard as exclusive franc chisess are
deeply interested. The fact that the
court has had the case a year and
has not yet decided indicates that the
problem was found to be knotty one.
AT the last session of the supreme I,
court the high judges felt compelled to
.call down several attorneys for pre-
pairing too extensive papers and caus-s
Ing to be printed vast documents In
appealed cases. Yesterday the court
practically threw one case from Shell
don where judgment was found
against the city on account of de-
feciiye sidewalk. The case was carried
up for the city by Milt II. Allen, and
In regard TO the manner in which he did
lit the court said Counsel for appellant
certainly cannot be charged with lack
OF zeal and enthusiasm in presenting
the case Of his client to the court. He
has assigned errors in % paragraphs,
several Of which consist of a number of
alleged errors grouped with subdivi-
sions, including one that covers all the
divisions and subdivisions of a motion
for new trial, one hundred thirty one
in all: so that we have presented to us
practically 200 points to rule upon, and
this in an ordinary action at law for
injuries received on a sidewalk. Counsel
in argument urges in a general way
and in groups practically all the points
attempted to be raised by the assign
ments, and the assignments are argued
in apparently complete confidence that
each one of them will be found to be,
a good and sufficient ground for re-
versal in itself. 1t may be questionable,
however. whether counsel shows good
Judgment in asking SO much. A few
grounds for reversal, say five or six,
would be as effective as 200 In protect
ing the interests Of his client. Can we
not say that counsel ought to have as
sumed that a case important enough
to appeal to this court was big game

a shotgun loaded with bird shot Z"
