CLOSES THE DOOR
CHINA ACCEPTS THE PROPOSALS S
OF RUSSIA.
LATTER MAKES new DEMANDS
Muscovite Goods to Enter China Free
Insists on Customs Suspension in
Large Part of Empire-Other Ma
tions Shut from Province.

ST. PETERSBURG-Th st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail
hears from an authoritative source
that China has accepted the Russian
proposals in so fars as it regards the
duties at the lake bounties. After
the negotiations with the Tsung Ii
Yamen, the correspondent continues
the Russian minister formulated the
following conditions:
CD The importation of Chinese
arms into Manchuria shall be taxed
according to the discretion of the Rus.
sian customs authorities and China
shall agree to construct at Galgan a
mandatory to supply material for
the projected Russo Chinese railroad
to Pekin, which will pass into the
vicinity of Kalgan
(2) China shall establish in Rhardin
an administrative body to insure the
rights vested in the gold mines which
are now being worked by Russian en-
gineers.
CD All Russian goods sent to Cen
tral China shall be entirely free of
any Chinese customs charges.
(4) Russia and China shall Jointly
agree henceforwarad to close the door
in Menchuria to the goods OF all pow
ers.
This agreement, concludes the cor
respondent, will come into force af-
ter the opening of the Manchurian
railroad.
The Times correspondent at Pc
kin says he has ascertained that the
fourth demand in the first Russian
document, namely, that the present
status Of the administration of Man
churia is to remain unchanged, does
not apply to Manchuria, but is de-
mand that the administration Of Mon
golia shall not be changed. The OBJ
ject of this is to check the suggested
alteration in the government of Man
churia by which it was contemplated
to transform Mongolia into a Chinese
province.
The foreign Office, continues the
Times correspondent, has formally
agreed that Russia is to retain 2,10O,-
600 taels, receipts from the New
Chwang customs, now in possession
of the Russo-Chinese bank as an in
demnity for repairing and protecting
way.

On the Management OF Men
"Od Gorgon Graham" Writes the Subject to His Son
Pierrepont-Son1e Pointers to the Successful
Conduct Of an Up>to>Dae Business

Consider carefully before you say a
hard word to a man, but never let a
chance to say a good one so by.
Praise judiciously bestowed is money
invested.
Never learn anything about your
men except from themselves. A good
manager needs no detectives, and the
fellow who can't read human nature
can't manage it. The phonograph
records of a fellows character are
lined in his face and a mans days
tell the secrets of his nights.
Be slow to hire and quick to fire
The time to discover incOmpatibility
OF temper and curl-papers is before
the marriage ceremony. But when
you find out that you've hired the
wrong man, you can't get rid of him
too quick. Pay him an extra month.
but don't let him stay another day.
A discharged clerk in the office is
like a splinter in the thumb-a center
of soreness. There are no exceptions
to this rule, because there are no ex-
ceptlons to human nature.
Never threaten, because a threat is
promise to pay that it isn't always
convenient to meet, but if you don't
make it good it hurts your credit.
Save threat till you're ready to act,
and then you won't need it. In all
your dealings remember that to-day
is your opportunity; tomorrow some
other fellows.
Keep close to your men. When a

alted position, but if he's gazing at

we or they cannot sell them in .un-
opened towns. If the towns are open

foreseen when the evacuation was de-
cided upon.

of great Importance and if borne out
by subsequent information will meet
in a general degree the desires of the
American government.

Where People Talk Too Much
Restaurant Waiter Tells of Bad Habit of Many Peooh Wto

When I marry a rich man and take

eat there. | don intend to talk about
anything but the weather, and | shall
discuss that with a great deal of eau
:ion," said Waitress No. 19. Il shall
De thus guarded in my remarks, be-
cause l think it had form to give my
family affairs away before folks the
way most people do when dining and
!unching away from home.
Il remember for instance, the case
Of the man and woman who couldn't
agree to get married on account of
heir relatives. They sat here for
Two solid hours talking it over. He
had three children, which she didn7
want to be bothered with, aud she
aad a mother that he didn'c want
hanging around. Much as they seem
ed to care for each other, neither
would agree to break family ties, yet
neither would accept the others in
.umbrances. The argument waxed
pretty hot at times, and they went
away still in fighting mood.
Several months after that the wo-
nan came in one day alone. She sat
1t my table. 1 was devoured with
curiosity, and finally. as the risk OF
osing my place, l spoke to her.

Cattle Die of starvation,

TOPEKA, Kan.-Within the last two
months the Kansas Live Stock Sani-
tary commission here has received
many complaints from cattlemen in
the northern and western part of the

ease is mango and that it has come
into the state from Colorado, and 9th

teresting and important doings down
in the valley. Never lose your dig
nifty, of course, but tie it up in all the
red tape you can find around the Of
fee, and tuck it away in the safe.
It's easy for a boss to awe his
clerks, but a man who is feared to
his face is hated behind his back. A
competent boss can move among his
men without having to draw an imag-
mary line between them, because
they will readily see the real one if it
exists.
Besides keeping in touch with your
office men. you want to feel your
statesmen all the time. Send each of
them a letter every day, so that they
won't forget that we are making
goods for which We need orders; ard
insist on their sending you a line
every day, whether they have any
thing to say or not. When a fellow
has to write in six times a week to
the house, he uses up his explana-
tiOns mighty fast, and he's pretty apt
TO hustle for business to make his
seventh letter interesting.
Right here want to repeat that in
keeping track of others and their
faults it's very, very important that
you shouldn't lose sight of your own.

that they can't see their corrs; but a

Army Officers Who Are Discharged on

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The United
States supreme court Monday decided
two cases involving the question as
to whether army officers, who, upon
their own application, have received
discharges when distant from home,
are entitled to travel pay and commu-
tation for subsistence The cases
were those of Sweet and Barnett, both
of which were decided by the court
of claims favorably to the claimants.
That opinion was reversed by Mon
days decision.
The opinion was delivered by JUS
tice Holmes, who said that the prac-
tice of the war department and the
treasury department in not allowing
claims of this character had been long
maintained and that the court was of
the opinion that the system should
not be overruled.
