kssHRSJ not beneficial mentally or
physcisally. While exercise
should be play. 1t should not be all pluy.
Health requires mental as we'll as ply
steal recreation.
A charming variation of the monotony
OF exercising is afforded by the use of
unsteady toned cymbals which are
clashed IN rythm with every movement,
either with or without the accompani-
lnent of music-waltz. mazurka or march.
The foundation principle of this form
z of athletics Is that woman should so
move that, II every muscle struck note,
only harmony would result.
Any girl who has taken her daily ath-
letics to the accompaniment of cashing
cymbals has found them infinitely more
interesting than dumb-bels or Indian
clubs and that grace Of form and mo-
ton has been developed in wonderful
manner.
Muscles of arms, throat shoulders and
legs are strengthened and exercised by
the different movements.
The movements which are designed for
the arms are as follows:
Swing both arms with a circular move
Inent to the right and clash the left
cymbal on the right cymbal.
Reversing the motion, swing both arms
with circular movement TO the left. and

CHINA GIVES HER REASONS.
Explains Refusal to Accede to Russia's
Demands In Manchuria.

London, May I'm dispatch from

Times says that in an interview held
on Wednesday with all the ministers
of the Chinese foreign Office, M. Plan.
con, Russian charge d affaires, press
ed for reasons for the rejection of the
Russian demands. The ministers re-
piled that they were unable to give
the reasons separately. M. Plancon
then, on behalf of his government, re-
quested a statement of China's inten-
tons regarding first, the contemplated
alteration in the government of Mon
golia; second, the non-alienation by
lease, concession or otherwise of any
portion of the Liau valley to any
other power, and third, the opening Of
new treaty ports in Manchuria.
To the first clause the ministers re-
piled that the alteration had not yet
received imperial sanction; to the
second that China had no intention of
alternating any Of her territory and
to the third that the opening of ports
would depend upon trade develop
ments
NJ Plancon professed to be satisfied
with these replies, but the Chinese
are still uncomfortable knowing how
powerless they are to resist Russias
demands. II announced that M. Les
sar, the Russian minister to China, is
returning to Picking and that the full
flllment OF the terms OF the Manchuria
convention viii be postponed until
after his arrival and will result from
his negotiations. 1.-THE fact that Rus
STA now appears anxious to repudiate
the orders given NJ. Plancon," con-
cludes the Times correspondent,
does not mean that her demands
have been abandoned; by these orders
Russia has acquainted China with
what she expects"

RUSSIA is CLIMBING DOWN.
Explains Manchuria Attitude Was
Misunderstood.

Washington, April 30.--The state
department received a dispatch from
Ambassador Mccormick at ST. Peters
burg, to the effect that the Russian
minister for foreign affairs, has as
sured him that the published reports
of the proposed convention between
Russia and China relating to Man
churia are absolutely incorrect and
that there is no foundation for the re
port that Russia demands that China
shall refuse the request Of other
powers for treaty ports and consulates
in Manchuria. He has been assured
that the Russian government has nc
intention to exclude other countries
from advantages now enjoyed in Man
churia or to confer exclusive privileges
upon Russians; that the United States
may be sure that nothing will be done
to close doors now open and that
American commerce and American
capital are those which Russia most
desires to attract. 1t Is understood
also that similar assurances were re
ceived by the secretary of state from
his excellency, the Russian ambassa
DOR.
Sir Michael Herbert, the British

the nature of the report made by Mr.
Mccormick, and it is presumed that
he had similar advices from his own
government. Baron Won Sternberg
the German minister. in company With
Baron Scheller, the new secretary
of the German embassy, also called al
the state department, and he likewise
was advised of the latest develop
ments in the case.
These advices have done much tc

prehension which was aroused IL

investigating Committee Says There
Was No Attempt to Bride.

Was No Attempt to Bride.
Springfield, H., May 1.-The com.
mittee appointed to investigate char
ges of bribery in the Illinois legisla,
ture submitted a final report to the
house last night.
The report states that the commit
tee is unanimous as to the following
conclusions:
First, that the evidence produced
before us does not establish any real
attempt to corrupt the action of the
speaker of this house.
Second. that there was no reason
able OF substantial ground for the edi-
torial DOODLE, published in the Chi.
cago Inter Ocean on April 81, 1908, and
that the charges therein contained
and as specified further in the testi'
mony of Mr.. Hinman, were wholly
without truth or foundation as to any
member or officer of this house, SC
far as we have been able to discover" "
During the reading of the report
not sound was heard, notwithstand
ing the fact that the lobby and gal.
leries were crowded with spectators
who had been drawn to the house in
anticipation OF repetition of the
riotous proceedings of last week. Up
on the question of the adoption OF the
report, there was a roll call.
The report was adopted without a
dissenting voice. The house also
unanimously adopted a vote of thanks
to the investigating committee for the
satisfactory manner in which it had
performed its duty.
The rules were then quickly sus.
pended on viva voce vote and the
Mueller bill, the traction measure
which had been antagonized by Speak
er Miller, was ordered to be brought
before the house for immediate con-
sideratlon. In a fierce debate, op.
ponents of the bill charged that the
Mueller law would carry with it a
grant of control for forty-five years
to street railway companies. An
amendment offered by friends Of the
bill was adopted limiting all grants
under the bill to twenty years.
