RUSSTA'S BROKEN PROMISE.

Russia has failed TO fulfil her promise TO evac-
uate Manchuria That is the obvious fact OF
the moment. Ii is a fact which appears 10
be not only void of e1tenuating circumstances,
bat actually invested with circumstances OF
material aggravation These latter will be seen
in review of the record. On April s, 1902,
Russia formally agreed 10 eyacuate Manchuria
in three stages She was TO evacuate the south
ern part Of Sheng King including New hwang
and Moukden, within six months or by Octo-
Der s. 1902: the rest of Sheng-King and Kirin
in a second six months. by April s, 1903,
and Ho-LuDg the remainder OF Manchuria, in
a third six months, or by October s. 1903. This
engagement was not fulfilled. No serious at
tempt TO fulfil it appears to have been made.
But about a year after the making of it, when
it should have been two-thirds fulfilled. Russia
renewed her promise 10 evacuate Sheng- King
and Kirin. hut not HO-Lung, If China would
agree TO certain newly prescribed conditions,
conspicuous among which were that no for
cigners but Russians should be employed in
Manchuria. and that Manchurian ports
should be opened TO commerce or any more
foreign consuls be admitted TO those provinces
Against these demands, which were in de
fiance OF the treaty rights Of other nations
and would have made China vassal of Russia,
there was almost worldwide protest, and Rus
STA saw fit quickly to withdraw them. Russia
still neglected, however 10 begin evacuation,
giving as her reason for not getting out that
there were some American and British gun
boats in port a New Chwang, OF course those
vessels had Il perfect right under treaty TO be
there They had been there, off and on. for
twenty years. Moreover, Russia herself had
an equal number of gunboats there Finally
about a month ago Russia for the third time
promised 10 evacuate Manchuria, beginning
with Southern Sheng- King October s. now
Just past provided China would accede TO GER
tain new conditions
This last promise TO eyacuate on October s
1903 territory which she had originally prom
ised TO evacuate on October 3, 1902 Russia has
not fulfilled. Her reason for doing so is that
China has not complied with the new conditions
demanded. Now Russia manifestly had no
right to impose new conditions for the fulfill
ment Of an old promise or practically TO alter
The terms of a contract after IL had been made
III she could do that, there was nothing to pre-
vent ner from demanding more conditions after
lhese were granted. and still more after those
ana so on forever. The only honorable and
honest way to fulfil a promise is to do so OH
me OASIS OF the conditions which were pre-
scTloed Wheh The promise was made and no
others Moreover. while the making of any new
conditions was indefenslbie the nature of some

il was impossible for China To grant without
breaking her faith with other nations. Thus IL
was demanded that there should be no in

rrTptDTTJOy FOR BRIBERY.

The administrations decision 10 broaden the
scope OF our exraditon system is commend
able. At the suggestion Of Circuit Attorney
Folk. OF ~. Louis the energetic prosecutor OF
doodle" aldermen, bribery is TO be added TO the
list of offences for which extraditiOn will be
asked. -Four Of the bribe-taking st. Louis city
fathers whom Mr.. Folk indicted forfeited their
hail bonds and sought an asylum beyond our
borders Two-settled IN Mexico, one fed 10
Canada. and one 10 France. A convention with
Mexico was recently framed and ratified, nam
Eng bribery eXtradtable crime, and the
Attorney General has just held that its pro
visions can be considered retroactive. II is now
proposed 10 negotiate similar supplementary
agreements with Great Britain and France, so
that the other two 81. Louis refugees may be
hailed back for punishment
Doubtless it would be a wise thing 10 add
bribery 10 the list OF offences specified in all
our extradition treaties The world is becoming
small, and even the remotest outposts OF civili-
zation are now accessible and habitable as
refugees for criminals who have the means to

4 PHENOMENAL RAIN.

People who had n good chance to witness the
downpour OF Thursday and Friday, or to note
its immediate effects, were fully prepared for
the official announcement that it was without
a precedent in the metropolis and vicinity, at
least since the establishment Of a national
weather service. Over twenty years ago, at
practically the same season, Il record for pre-
cipitation was made that approached, but did
not equal, that for the twenty-four hours pre-
vious to s a. m. yesterday. Furthermore, by
the time that the worst part of this latest
visitation over, less than a day and half
from the beginning OF the rain, almost as much
water had fallen as is ordinarily reported in
three months
According to the experts the Middle Attain
tic States and Western New-EnSland really
suffered from two storms in close succession.
Early in the week n barometric depression Of
great extent was observed IN the lake region,
and in limited localities remarkably heavy
showers occurred. A large lobe OF this area
extended down over New-YOrk, Pennsylvania
ana New-Jersey on Thursday. when the first
precipitation was experienced mere. Out over
the Atlantic. between the Carolina coast and
the Bermudas, another depression existed at
the same time, but it gave no evidence Of It's
presence until evening. No doubt 1t originated
several days ago in near the tropics, but 1t
managed TO evade detection until generally
nOrthward course brought it closer TO the con-
tinent. To the second storm is attributed the
rain of Thursday night and Friday.
\ circumstance which may have some bear
Ing on the duration OF the jnfiction is re-
veaed by the government weather maps. An
area of high barometer overlap Nova Scotia
Cape Breton and Newfoundland for several
days in just such a position as to block the

is not any too we'll understood. 1t might not
be strictly true that the slow progress of these
depressions was due TO the unusual obstinacy
with which this particular high area held the
fort Condolences of that sort are so common
however, as to provoke suspicion that the
situation here was aggravated by that exist
ing in the Eastern British provinces.

crease OF tariff duties goods imported into
China by rail. That of course, meant exciu-
sivey Russian goods, since only such enter
China by rail. Now, the United States has just
been negotiating treaty with China providing
for an increase of duty on American goods, and
il is probable that in future there will be FUR
Their increase, as the Chinese tariff rates are
still very low. The purport of Russians demand
was therefore, that her goods should be ad-
mitted into China at a lower rate of duty than
those of any other country. To such demand
it obviously impossible for China to as
sent. unless either she was TO repudiate her
treaties with all other lands or she was to make
herself commercial and political appanage OF
Russia. 1t is difficult to escape the conviction
that the Russian Government had these things
in mind when it made these demands and that
it purpOsely made such demands so that emma
would have to refuse them. and so that Russia
would thus get n nOminal-bur. as we nave
seen, quite invalid-pretext for refusing 10 rum

said to China, do something that you cannot
do or we will not withdraw" OF course China
did not do what she could not do, and so Rus
STA remains in Manchuria
1t is unpleasant TO be compelled thus 10 re-
gard the conduct of great power with which
American relations have generally been ami
cable, and sometimes intimate. g are IOl ul-
mindful of the fact that on one noteworthy oc-
casiOn in the Kuldja region Russia scrupulously
kept faith in the restoration of Chinese prov
ince which she had temporarily occupied. 1t
would DE welcome and grateful to record like
keeping of faith in Alanchuria. IL that privilege
be denied us, however it will be Russias own
fault and no others. There is no valid reason
why she should not evacuate Manchuria accord
ing to her original promise under the original
terms. No new circumstances have arisen re-
quiring justfying the imposition OF new
terms. The old contract stands. 1t has been
loyalty fulfilled by China on her part, and no
outside power has meddled or interfered. All
that remains is for Russia to fulfil her part of
it. She has not done so. So far as can be dis
cerned she is making 10 preparations for doing
SO In such circumstances she can have no
ground for complaint if the world concludes
that she never meant to do so, but that she
made promise intending not TO fulfil but to
break il. 1t may be that in this case she will
succeed in winning her point by such means
But amid her success the question may well
arise whether such course is likely TO prove
profitable in the end

SUGAR PROMISES AND COMPLAINTS.

The opponents OF reciprocity with Cuba, in
their sOlicltude for the sugar ring, complain
bitterly of the effect which the proposal OF
reciprocity has had upon the beet sugar in
dustry They point out these three facts as
proof positive that reciprocity ought to be re-
jected by Congress, namely, that since the cam
paign for Cuban reciprocity began the price
paid for sugar beets at Pacific Coast factories
has declined, not single beet sugar fac
the area planted with sugar beets Oh the Pa
cific Coast has declined. Let us assume that
those are facts. What then?
Only four years ago the recognized leader
OF the beet sugar industry in the United States
explicitly declared over his own signature that
that industry would have nothing to fear if
Cuban sugar were admitted to our market not
only under preferential rates, but absolutely
free OF all duty. II would have nothing to
fear. indeed. if sugar imports from all the world
were made free Under not merely reciprocity
but absolute free trade his company could keep
on paying full prices for bects and paying full
dividends to shareholders. There was nothing
TO fear, no matter what might happen.
Yet now we are told that the mere talk Of
reciprocity is having a disastrous effect Were.
then those promises of four years ago mere
bait for gudgeOns? Or were they sincere but
altogether mistaken? In either case the present
fat reputation of them puts the makers of
them in an unenvable plight and destroys the
force of their clamor against reciprocity.
