BETTING EVIL
It's Rapid Increase in England
Is Frankly Acknowledged.

London. Jan. 3.--The rapid increase IN
hating on horseracing in the United
Kingdom, especially among workingmeh'
and the evils arising therefrom are fuily
acknowledged in the report Of the select
committee of the house of lords issued
this morning But the remedies recon-
mended are not far-reaching.
The committee finds that betting is
greatly facilitated by the universal prac
tice of the newspapers in publishing start
ling prices. but the committee Is not pre-
pared to recommend its prohibition as u
would tend to encourage dishonesty on the
part OF the bookmakers. IL recommends
that all advertisements and circulars OF
sporting "tipsters' be made Illegal and
favors legislation that bookmakers he i'm
prisoned II they bet on the streets with
children.

QUESTION OF PREFERENCE
Again Submitted TO the Powers by
Bowen in Protocol.

Bowen in Protocol.
Washington, April 26.-Herbert w.
Bowen the Venezuelan plenipoten-
tiary, has drawn up a new protocol
for the determination by The Hague
arbitration tribunal of the question
whether the blockading Powers shall
be entitled to preferential treatment
in the payment of their claims against
Venezuela. This has been presented to
the British ambassador and copies fur
nished to the diplomatic representatives
of Germany and Italy. The new in
strument contains all the points on
which the negotiatorS practically are
in accord, except one, which, 1t is
thought, will be amicably adjusted.
The allied governments having de-
termined not to press the point of con-
sideration by The Hague tribunal of
whether or not Venezula shall be COM
PEELED to pay the expenses of the block
ade, the new protocol contains no pro-
vision on that point. The document
has been transmitted to London by
cable, and an early reply is expected
by the British ambassador, which will
authorize him to proceed with the
consideration of the matter.
According to the protocol, the tribu-
nal of arbitration is to be appointed
by the Car of Russia and will meet
on Sept. 1.

COUNTRY NOW NEEDS
A NEW ADMINS RATION

ports and other questionable transact
lions connected with the army.
Land grant frauds in the Interior De-
partment.
The maladministration of the postal
service, as disclosed by the pending in
vestigation of the Postotfice Depart
ment.
Embezzlement by disbursing officers
OF the State Department, Department
of Justice, Census Bureau, and so on
down the line until there is hardly
division in the public service that is
not in need of a thorough investiga-
ton by impartial and non-partisan in
vestigators.
1t is unreasonable to expect the Re-
publicans, while in power to expose
their own misdoings. 1t would be
equally unreasonable to look for an
honest and impartial investigation OF
a Democratic administration while that
party was in power.
Congressional Investigations amount
to but little. when partisan questions
are involved, The majority party in
varIably names the investigators with
a previous understanding how far the
inquiry may go without damage TO the
dominant party.
Department Investigations are con-
Quoted on the same basis, and all hon
est efforts to put a check upon the
loose business meIlOuS OF aQullulStId-
ton, are strenuously resisted by those
who have for many years past enjoyed
Especial privileges" at the hands OF
the Republican party.
The pending investigation of the
postofIice scandals, particularly the
Mrs. Tyner incident cit might proper
ly be called a sensation). shows now
loosely the business of a great depart
ment of the government-the one of the
greatest personal interest to the masses
of the people, may be conducted
Chapters upon chapters might be
written upon the subject of special
privileges to favored few by those
entrusted with the administration of
the public business. The President,
the Congress and the departments have
apparently formed a corruption trust
to run the government in the interests
of the privileged classes.
Practical business methods are en-
forced in great private establishments,
but II seems difficult to devise a
system of national administration, free
from corruption while one party is
continued in power for an indifinite
period. There is rural proverb to
the effect that "a change of pasture is
good for the cow" So it has been said
recently by some of the ablest men Of
both political parties that a change in
the political complexion of the nation
al government will be good for the
people Of the United States.

To Some of the Demands That Are
Made by Russia.
London, Auril 27.-In a dispatch from
st. Petersburg, dated Saturday, April
IS, the correspondent there of the Daily
Mail says he hears from an authorize
tive source that China has accepted
the Russian proposal to modify the ex-
listing Russo Chinese commercial
treaty in so far as it regards the du-
ties at the lake boundaries. After the
negotiations with the Tsung Ii Yamen,
the correspondent continues, the Rus
sian minister formulated the following
conditions:
First, the Importation of Chinese arms
into Manchuria shall be taxed accord
ing to the discretion of the Russian
customs authorities, and China shall
agree to construct at Kalgan a manu-
factory to supply material for the
projected Russo-Chinese railroad to
Pekin, which will pass in the vicinity
of Kalgan.
Second. China shall establish in
Rhardin an administrative body for
the purpose of insuring the rights
vested in the gold mines which are
now being worked by Russian engi-
neers.
Third, all Russian goods sent to Cen
trail China shall be entirely free of any
Chinese customs charges.
Fourth, Russia and China shall joint
ly agree henceforth to close the door
in Manchuria to the goods of all
Powers.
This agreement, concludes the corr
respondent, will come into force after
the opening of the Manchurian rail-
road; it shows plainly, says the rep
resentative of the Daily Mail, the in
tention to make Manchuria a Russian
province.

Smoke was first seen Issuing from the
basement under the saloon. The fire
smouldered for half an hour and the

troll, when the flames suddenly burst
from an upper story. The flames. after
clearing out the Brunson, spread to the
buildings south. The Union was COM

TO WILLIAM
WILL BE MADE FOR THE NOR
MONS IN GERMANY.
HIS TOLERANCE is ASKED.
THE MORMONs HOPE 1T MAY IN
CLUDE THEM.

Petition to the Emperor Sets Forth
the Morality of Mormon Doc
trines-Denies That Any SeditiOus
or Political Teachings Have
Emannted from the Missionaries.
Copies of the Book of Mormon
Sent to the Emperor and the EN-
press, Translated Into German.
Berlin, April 26.-Hugh ]. Cannon,
the Mormon missionary, intends to
appeal to Emperor William for per-
mission for the Mormons to remain in
Germany, hoping that his majestys
policy of religious tolerance may in
clude the Mormons.
In his petition Mr.. Cannon sets forth
the morality of Mormon doctrines and
refers to the inability of his adver-
saries TO cite any example where Nor
mon teachings have been subversive
of the government of the state, or
of orderly citizenship; he declares also
that by the command of the supreme
head of the church polygamy is not
taught.
Mr.. Cannon last Wednesday sent to
the Emperor and the Empress copies
of the book of Mormon in German.
If no aid is extended to the Mormon
missionaries by Emperor William and
IL the orders of expulsion are enforced,
all the missionaries will leave quietly
Mr.. Cannon expects the United
States to intervene in cases where
missionaries have been maltreated, as,
for instance, in the affair at olsen
bruek, Prussia, last January, when two
missionaries were dragged through the
streets of the town and imprisoned for
three days. They were deported to
Hanover, where they were again placed
in jail and later sent on to Hamburg
Affidavits of these occurrences have
been forwarded to Senator's Kearns and
Smoot, who, it is said, here have ask
ed Secretary Hay to demand an apol-
ogy from Germany in this matter, on
the ground that American citizens were
treated brutally.
Among the converts to Mormonism
made in Germany are several police
men who were sent to observe the
missionary meetings.

BY r. M. Larner.

Washington, April 26.-"Let us have
a look at the books" would form the
basis of a far more practicable policy
or platform for the Democratic party
than much of the silly drivel the hon
est people are obliged to inhale in the
political atmosphere, under the de-
cayed title of Organism"
Republican and Democratic papers
are daily filed with non-partisan state
ments showing to what extent corrup-
ton, fraud and loose business methods
prevail in almost every branch of the
public service. The Republicans have
been in power so long that they act
as though the government was being
carried on at the expense of the tax
payers for the exclusive personal bene-
fit and comfort of few favored fed
eral officials.
The Democratic party elected Grover
Cleveland because there was a general
desire to have a change in the political
complexion of the administration. The
time is now ripe for another change.
Instead of wasting time talking about
the hot-air productions or the past ana
gone Bryan campaigns, the Democratic
leaders might employ their time more
probably, and with far more prospect
of success, by taking step at the
business methods employed by the
present administration, and former Re-
publican administrations, In conduct
ing the business of the 100000 of
people in this great and growing coun-
try.
There is immediate need for practical
business reform in every branch of
the federal government from the White
House through every executive depart
ment, down to our insular possessions,
in Porto Rico, the Philippines, and
Independent 90 Cuba. Here are some
of the items as they surge upward
in the minds of thinking men:
Unauthorized extravaganza in and
about the White House.
Numberless accusations against con-
suls for dishonesty in the State De-
partment.
Silk frauds and numberless allega-
lions of corruption in connection with
the collection and disbursements of the
revenues of the government by the
Treasury Department.
The Wood and Rathbone scandal in
the War Department, growing out of
the administration of Cuba, and other
charges of fraud relative to clothing
contracts, purchase and sale of trans
