Washington, July 6-The department Of

ROBBERY AND CONQUEST

Europy views with concern the fact that
the foreign press is again largely mimi
cal to Russia. Even old friends like the
United States have lately displayed in
their press a hostility such as has hith-
erto characterized England alone" says
this long established and digniied re-
view, which continues as follows:
Our policy in China scarcely Justified the re-
proach which the American press is heaping
upon us. We suffered incomparably more from
the Chinese troubles than any OF the other pow
ers, and nevertheless we have taken far less
our interests in the future than others have
Under the compulsion Of events which we did
not foresee, which we could not prevent, we
had to occupy Manchuria. Once we had entered
Chinese province, we could not leave it until
order had been restored and the operation Of our
railroad had been insured. When this had been
accomplished, we could not make up minds to
place the results Of .pur efforts in jeopardy
again, SO we kept deferring the evacuation Of
the provoinces that we had occupied in order to
obtain from the Chinese government some guar
antees for the future. In this logical game Of
circumstances one can hardly find treacher-
GUS policy Of conquest which would properly oc-
casion the dissatisfaction and the protests of
the interested powers.
All that we are reproached with in our deal
ings with China are to far higher degree
| nations also: We need here mention only the
| conduct of the Americans in Cuba and after the
Spanish war, but particularly their actions in
the Philippines. How quickly the civilized mis-.
sion OF the emancipators degenerated here into
an open policy Of robbery and conquest.

London July 6.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Standard telegraphs
that official circles there are nervous over
the situation in the far east. especially
Count Cassinfs diplomatic methods.
The Russian amba assador at Washington
is accused of making too much Of the pc
and too olittle Of the American policy in
the far east.
The Russian government, continues the
correspondent, would have looked with
equanirnity on the presentation of the
Kishineff petition, which binds nobody, If
in return an understanding could have
been reached respecting Russia's claims in
Manchuria.
It is now feared that Russia will be
obliged to forego Count Lamsdorf's plans
concerning Manchuria and China which
depended on separating the United States
from Japan and Great Britain.

OUR EXPORTS TO CANADA
They Exceed Those of Last Fiscal
Year by About Thirteen
Million Dollars.
New YORK Sun Special Service.


washington, July 6.-Exports from the
United States to Canada in the fiscal year
Just ended, show a larger total than in
any preceding year. Figures just COM
pleted by the bureau Of statistics Of the
department fcomn1erce, show that the
increase in exports to British North
America had been $12000,000 in the first
eleven months Of the year.
(, The total exports to British North
America from the United States for the
full fiscal year seem likely to be about
$125, 100000 against s112,O00,O00 in 1902;
s1O7 100000 in 1s1, and s97,0OO,OoO in 1900.
Not only has the growth in exports from
the United States to Canada been greater
in the year Just ended than In any pre-
ceding year with a single exception, but
the growth has been greater than to any
other country except Germany.
The imports into the United States from
Canada have grown, but not with eedal
rapidity. The Canadian imports for the
year just ended amount to about $4S,-

there can now be no doubt that this mo-

Gently warned the navy department that
serious trouble is imminent In China. The
department has declined to make any
statement, but the impression was con-

was with reference to internal uprisings
in the vicinity Of Canton and did not ex-
tend to a renewal Of the danger of foreign
complications in the north
More Ships for Fleet
In addition to augmenting the Asiatic
fleet by the new battleship Wisconsin,
the department is sending to China the

also in orders for the armored cruiser New
