SOUTH CHINA IN DANCER.

France Said to Be Planning Coup whEis
Attention Is Distracted TO North.
Victoria, B. c., May 22.-AIfred
Cunningham, manager of the Hong
Kong Daily Press, passenger on the
Kaga Maru, which arrived last night,
said in an interview here that Japanese
journalists do not regard Russia's action
in Manchuria as surprising cr unantici-
pated. MIR. Cunningham says that
while attention is being maintained in
the north by Russian aggression, mat
ter of far greater Importance to Ameri-
ca, Britain and Japan is being over
looked in the south; that is the aggres-
sion OF France in the Southern PROV
inces.
Mr.. Cunningham is Of the opinion
that France and Russia are acting in
concert, the former in the north and
the latter in the south. He says
France has bribed the officials of
Kwangsi and is waiting the opportunity
to pour troops into that province. The
south, said Mr.. Cunningham, is now
on the verge Of a far greater interna-
tional crisis than that now ON in the
north. AT present the rebellion in
Kwangsi is practically brigandage on a
large scale.
The rebellion in South China, he
said, is another factor There is no
doubt but that the reformers have or
ganized the brigands and a rebellion
which will be far greater than the Tai
ping rebellion ever was will break ont
before long in South China. Large
quantities Of arms are being shipped
in to the rebels. chiefly from the United
States, and headed by the reformers a
movement will break out pro-fole eign in
its nature, to overthrow the empress
dowager and reinstate Kwang Su.

treaty between the United States and
Cuba, in which is incorporated all the
provisions of the Platt amendment,
was signed this afternoon.

and copies of the treaty exchanged
within few minutes.
The permanent treaty contains no
provision for its abrogation, and no
extraneous conditions of any kind. 1t
simply incorporates the entire Platt
amendment into the form of a treaty
The length of time consumed by the
negotiations was principally due to
the fact that Cuban Government de
sired to include in the treaty various
extraneous conditions, especially one
to the effect that there should be no in.
tervention in Cuban affairs by the
United States. except through the ini
tiative of the President of Cuba. All
these conditions were rejected.

Portland, May 22.-President Roose-
velt was gloriously welcomed tc this
city yesterday. All Portland made
holiday, put On its best attire, iocked
everywhere he went and climbed even
tc the roofs and chimneys to see him
pass. The epirit Of the people was
stirred as never before in this city. ii
il had been martial thrill that elec.
trifed the populace, 1t could not have
moved the Thongs Of enthusiastic
spectators more than the peaceful visit
oil the president.
Countless thousands crowded the
streets as he rode by. Less numerous
but still unnumbered they swarmed 10
the city park, where the president laid
the base Of the Lewis and CLARK monu-
ment. In the evening they surged
around the hotel, calling for him with
increased clamor, until he appeared on
the fire escape and satisfied them with
brief speech. Then he returned TO
the banquet from which the people
had called him.
All arrangements for the visit we're
carried out successfully. The only
untoward event was the heavy rainfall
which began just as the president en-
tered the city park, and continued dur
ing the ceremonies there. But the rain
could not quench bis ardor, ard he
spoke even the better for it. He knew
the blessing Of abundant rain, and paid
tribute to Western Oregon by saying
that here he did not need TO talk ABOUT
irrigation. Then, after paying tribute
to the memory of Lewis and Clark, and
exhorting the people Of Oregon to emu
late their predecessors, he sealed the
cavity in the monument where lies the
copper box.
He will leave this morning for Puget

The PASSPORT IN RUSSIA.
You Cannot Move About the Country
Without the Document.

You Cannot Move About the Country
without the Document.
The train slows down as it crosses
the frontier. and creeps gently up to
the platform of the first station on Rus
sian soil, Furtively peeping out Of
the window, you behold a number Of
stalwart men uniformed In the Russian
style, and wearing the peculiarly Rus
sian top boots. The polite conductor
comes to the compartment and bids you
get the passport ready. After few
minutes of waiting, during which anx-
iety Is not diminished, an officer in
smart gray-blue uniform comes along,
attended by soldier with wallet. He
demands the precious document, and,
noting Its foreign origin, casts upon it's
possessor keen, searching glance.
Then he looks for the all-important visa
or Endorsement of the Russian official
in the country of issue; and on finding
II he passes coldly on without word
All this is very formal and impressive;
you feel as a prisoner feels when the
chain Of evidence is tightening around
him: your thoughts wander back to the
past, and you wonder whether any In
discretion of your Insignificant youth
may not now be brought up In testi-
mony against you.
The utmost care Is taken in the study
and registration Of these documents
every Russian must have his passport;
every foreigner entering or leaving the
country must have it. too. Whether ma.
tive or alien, you cannot move about
the country without the document;
when you arrive in town it must be
submitted to the local police; whep you
leave that town the police must inaorse
the passport with their sanction to the
journey. The system gives the authori-
ties the firmest hold over the people;
and wise isethe stranger who complies
carefully with every part of the formal.

Conservative estimates tonight place
the loss of stock at about $4,000, 600,

figured at about 10000. This loss will
be swelled by the ruination Of the fruit
crop throughout Northern Montana.

Postal Department Must Ask Congress
for Appropriation.
Washington, May 23.-Congress will
be asked at the opening of its next ses.
sion to make an appropriation to cover
the deficiencies in both the regular de-
livery service and the rural free deliv-
cry service of the postoffice department.
Postmaster General Payne announced
today that this deficiency now aggre-
gates exactly 1927 800, OF which $lO5,-
900 is in the free delivery branch. The
postmaster general said he very much
regretted the existence of the deficit,
and Tor the first time publicly criticised
the administration Of A. w. Machen,
the general superintendent of the free
delivery system, who is now on indefi.
mite leave OF absence.
"This is not the first time that de-
ficit has occurred in the free delivery
SERVICE" said Mr.. Payne. 81 regret
its existence. At the opening of the
last congress MIR. Mschen pointed out
that without additional appropriations
no more routes could be established be-
yond those ready to be installed Janu-
ary /. He maintained, however, that
if congress appropriated 100000 for
the purpose the work could be contin-
ued during the rest of the fiscal year.
This appropriation was promptly made,
but it was exhausted. Despite this
fact, the Office Gree delivery was going
on increasing the deficiency, and if We
had not taken steps to curtail the ex-
penditures and suspend the establishing
of routes until the beginning of the
next fiscal year the deficit would have
been much larger. 1t was not good ad.
ministration.
