St Louis, April 8.-St Louis went
Democratic by a plurality Of over 49,
600 in about one-half the registered
vote, which is 122.OO0. Five Republic
ans and one Independent candidate
were elected-to the house Of delegates.
The other % members elected are
Democrats. The Democrats elected
their six candidates for the city coun-
Gil. The Republican and Democratic
nominees for the board of education
were elected and the Democratic nom-
inee for inspector Of weights and meas
ures won.
The Republicans assert that gross
frauds were committed at the polls.
Throughout the state the Democrats
lost in three third-class cities that they
formerly controlled, but made enough
gains in others to fully preserve their
political equilibrium.
Outside st. Louis the Republicans
carried Jefferson City, Carthage and
Lamar; the Democrats were victorious
In Nevada, Mexico, Rich Hill, Warrens-
burg, Kirksville, Butler, Richmond,
Excelsior Springs, Moberay, and Jop-

AS TO THE OPEN DOOR
Uncle Sam Gives Russia an Opportunity to
SSSw How Sincere
She Is,

Washington, April Z. : 1t is prac-
tically admitted here that the new
commercial treaty between the United
States and China has been in one phase
especially designed to test the sound
ness of Russia's promise to maintain
the open door in Manchuria. Ever
since Russian occupation in 1900 the
province has been practically governed
by the Russians, who have regulated
all external trade.
United States exports Of great value
have entered Manchuria and as the
state department had no mind to lose
that trade to any other nation it chal-
lenged Russia's purposes and received
specific promises that open door shall
be maintained. The provision in the
treaty now under negotiati ton declaring
Moukden and its port Taku Shan at
the mouth of the Yalu river, open to
foreign trade affords the opportunity
for the test.
