London, May 22.-Ambassador Nc
Cormick is here for a few days on his
way from st. Petersburg to America.
He sails on the steamer Kronprintz
Wilhelm Wednesday next with his
Wife and Miss Patterson.
The st. James Gazette TODAY prints
an interview with Mr.. Mccormick in
which he is quoted as saying:
"One of my last official acts before
leaving st. Petersburg was to inter
rogate the Russian government on its
policy toward Manchuria. | was as
sured that Russia had no desire to see
the Manchur1an ports cIose= to the
United States or to have its consuls
excluded. The Russian government
was emphatic in declaring that they
were with America in The open door
policy in China and what applies to the
United States must apply to every
other power. Your government also
received and accepted similar assur-
ances. / know that M. Witte is
firm advocate of the open door and
have every reason to believe that Rus
STA Is quite sincere in the matter. She
points out that it is to her own inter
est to support that policy, and l think
that is the case
"You do not consider then, that the
situation in the Far East is in any
way serious on account of Russia's
policy in Manchuria, ?" Queried the re-
porter.
Il do not" Mr.. Mccormick replied
Il can see nothing at present which
need alarm the United States or any
other country"
Mr.. Mccormick added that the rela-
lions between the United States and
Russia at the present moment were of
a most friendly character.
do you think the United States
will view Mr. Chamberlain policy in
regard to protection with disfavor?"
was the reporters next question.
Il do not see why 1t should" an
swered Mr.. Mccormick I'VE have
set you the example. The suggestion
that you give preferential treatment
to the colonies is your own affair.
Canada may one day be able to give
you all the wheat you want, but not
for some time. In the United States,
too, We are growing nation and we
are consuming more of our own prod

Patience is q good protection against

Travelling Is Dangerous.

Constant motion jars the kidneys
which are kept in place in the body by
delicate attachments. This is the rea
son that travellers, trainmen, street car
men, teamsters and all who drive very
much, suffer from kidney diseases in
some form. Foley's Kidney Cure
strengthens the kidneys and cures all
forms of kidney and bladder disease.

FIND POSTNASTERS LAX.
Diamonds Struggled Through Con-
necticut Mails Seised.

Acting under the instructions of Collector
Stranahan and Mr. Hamilton. head of the New
York Customs Law Department, customs Off
GERS yesterday seized large quantity of drilled
diamonds in a number of Connecticut post
offices, whittier they had been sent through
the mails from Europe, and on which the duty
of 10 per cent had not been paid They are
used as dies for the drawing of fine gold, silver
and platinum wires, and have the appearance
of uncut stones
In mportations by mail there Is no decla-
ration of the goods by the importer or consignee.
The goods come through the mail from the
steamers are examined without opening in the
mail department of the customs and stamped
as packa ges containing probably dutfaple ar
ticles. They are then sent through the mails
TO their destination. The postmaster there is
required by law to open these packages in the
presence of the consignee. He then acts as
customs officer
The investigation so far has shown con-
siderable laxity in the performance Of their
duties by the postmasters, although there Is
no evidence of intention to help in a traud on
the government, and apparently the men VINO
have passed the stones have been imposed on.
One postmaster in particular failed to make
the required report to customs The conslgnees
of the diamonds seized have made application
for them and have offered to pay the outy-
THE investigation will continue

AGENT ALSO INDICTED.
@. r. Miller, of Cashier Company,
Named By Grand Jury.
WITH briggs IN POSTAL SCANDAL.

When the federal grand jury in Brooklyn was
considering postal cases, 1t indicted both ex-
Congressman briggs and George F. Miller. agent
for the cashier company in this city. Miller
went before Judge Thomas yesterday morning,
but did not plead to the two indictments found
against him under Section 17S1 of the United
States Statutes. His lawyer. Abram J. Rose,
wanted some time to examine the indictments.
SO =" Thomas gave them until next Monday
to holding Miller in $500 bail. Nicholas
s der. a lawyer of No. 257 Broadway who
lives Nyack, was the bondsman.
Miller is indicted under that clause of Section
Isl which specifies that every person Who
directly indirectly. offers or grees to give,
gives or bestows any money. property other
valuable consideration whatever for the procur-
ing aiding to procure any such contract, Of
fee place. is subject to two years mprisou-
ment and $4,000 fine AS in the case of briggs
one Indictment specified the payment of 5000
draft and the other in sixteen counts, embodied
the paid to briggs between July and
July "a. 1900. These indictments were handed
in at the same time those in the briggs case.
but Miller was not arraigned on Wednesday be-
cause he had gone to his home at Nyack- Mr.
Rose says his client indicted after testify
ing before the grand jury in full about the
briggs transactions.
It's rather unusual to get man to testify
against himself and then indct him. said the
lawyer. All the money he paid to briggs was
on account of the company he had no personal
interest in the transaction
Mr. Miller refused to tell whether he had. as
declared, received $25 commission on each
machine sold to the Postofice Department He
referred all questions to his counsel.
1t developed yesterday that ex-Congressnan
briggs and George W Beavers We're friends
and former neighbors. and their families held
close relations Strong efforts were made, it is
believed. to obtain from briggs and Miller test-
| nony which would incriminate Beavers, but
nothing of the sort forthcoming.
