The monetary loss by the storm is esti-

where the damage could not be repaired
in time.

CHINA GAVE PLEDGE
OFFICIALS NOT DISTURBED BY
REPORTS FROM PEKING
Ching's Objections to Opening Man
churian Ports Regarded as a Quibble
to Placate Russia.

The State Department has heard nothing
recently from Mr.. Conger respecting the
Manchurian negotiations. so it is suggested
that the Peking report TO the effect that
the Chinese government, through Prince
Ching, has declined to open any Manchu-
rian ports refers TO Il phase of the rcgotia-
uons dating about two weeks back. The
reason for this suggestion is a knowledge
on the part Of the officials here that before
Secretary Hays departure for his sum-
mer home the Chinese government act
ually did pledge itself to open two or more
ports In Manchuria.
1t Is not deemed proper here to Indicate
how these pledges We're conveyed whether
through Mr.. Conger at Peking or the Chi
ncSe minister here; but S to the fact there
can be no question. If, however, there has
been any change in the Chinese attitude
since this pledge was given it is said here
that the United States government will not
be moved thereby. but holding fast to the
pledges already given, will insist on their
redemption.
Respecting the plea attributed to China In
the Peking dispatches to the effect that
she cannot open the Manchurian ports be-
cause they are in the possession of Rus
sian troops and officials. 1t is pointed out
mere that as several weeks, and even
-.-i 1''' .i'"'' iiS liS sldpse peloie tilc
new treaty can be made and become opera
tive, there will be ample opportunity Tor
the Russians to evacuate the desired ports
If such course Is necessary
Impressed with the heretofore expressed
Willingness of China to omen Manchurian
ports, reinforced by the assurances Civ .n
to this government by Russia along the
same lines, the officials continue firm in
their belief that the situation ultimately
Will be clarified and the efforts of the
United States be rewarded In some quar-
ters the objections urged to the opening of
ports In Prince Chings communication are
regarded as a mere diplomatic bubble de-
signed perhaps to placate Russia. No mat
ter what fresh obstacle may Intervene our
government. firm in the conviction that the
principle of the open door in China should
be enjoyed by all nations, will continue to
exert It's influence in that direction.

Will Not Be Officially Represented.

The United States government will not be
officially represented at the funeral of the
pope, although some of the members from
the United States embassy in Rome may
attend in their private capacity. The Presi-
dent has given no intimation of his inten-
ton to be represented personally, and the
State Department does not expect him to
do so. for it would be contrary to all prece-
dents.
The United States has already taken Off
cal coSnizance of the death of the pope by
expressions of coincidence Cabled by the
President.
If Mr. Iddings. the United States charge
or any other member If the embassy at
tends the obseuuies he will do as pri-
vate citizen, and it is not expected he will
occupy seat with the diplomatic represen-
tatives accredited to the Vatican.

vorably On the case OF Lieut.. James q.
