served notice on China that she will

Exactly what these demands are no
official of the state department Is pre-
pared to say, but the belief is strong
that they. are practically, the same as
those reported last spring and dis
avowed by the Russian foreign office.
It was said on the highest authority
that this: governm ent had reason to-
believe that Russia was insisting on
the very demands which Count Lans-

friend Of President Roosevelt won the
$1,000 steer roping contest: here, de-

the southwest. q The conditions were
that three steers were to be roped and
tied in the fastest time and the contest
was open to all. Miss Mulhall threw
her first steer and tied it up in forty
three seconds. The second required
one minute. and eleven seconds, while
the third was roped, thrown, and tied
in the remarkable time Of forty sec

The strenuous young woman was
enthusiastically cheered by an army Of
rangemen, cowboys, Indians and
others who witnessed the perform

Miss .Mulhall's home is at Mulhall

Be Helena, Mont, Oct. S.A commo-
ton was created in local police circles
last night by a report from Missoula
to the effect that a bridge near here
had been destroyed by fire as the re-
suit of a dynamite explosion, it being
understood. that the deed was.th work
of the Northern Pacific blackmailers.
I. 1t developed, however, that the
bridge in question was a large, wooden
affair near Grey Cliff, and while it was
destroyed the flames originated. be-
yond doubt, from the sparks Of an
engine.
Traffic was seriously delayed, but
it was a great relief to superintendent
Boyle and Chief Detective McFetridge,
whose headquarters are temporarily
in Helena, to learn that the day had
passed without another dynamite OUT
rage.
It had been intended to exhibit at
the state fair the bloodhounds brought
here for the purpose Of tracing the
.dynamiters, but owing to Tuesdays
explosion they are kept in a car at
tached to a special train which, with
steam up, is waiting the reports of
further outrages in order that the BAN
dts may be traced and captured.

Washington, Oct. S.-There is little
likelihood that President Roosevelt
will recommend the appointment Of
"a commission to consider the currency
question with view to suggesting
Legislation, altho there was a, sugges-
ton of It when Representative Hill
called at the White House yesterday.
This doubt is expressed by those who
have this subject most at heart.
It is pointed out that congress has
never shown a disposition to legislate
on any subject in accordance with
the d1ctation Of a commission previ-
ously appointed to make suggestions
In the case Of financial legislation,
where every legislator who has made
a study of the subject has positive
views, this disinclination to follow the
lead of a commission would be more
manifest. It is declared doubtful,
even, If a commission could be selected
that would possess the ability to deal
in a masterful way with the question.
The impracticability Of the whole
scheme discloses itself when an eff
fort is made tentatively to name such
a commission. For instance, should
it be composed OF. Secretary Shaw,
Speaker Cannon, Senator Aldrich and
Representative Fowler there would be
represented four sides Of a difficult
problem: Secretary Shaw suggested
an emergency currency taxed at a
rate of 5sor 6 per cent in his recent
Chicago speech, Speaker Cannon has
been unable to- discern the necessity
for any financial legislation whatever.
Senator Aldrich believes In substitute
ing state and other bonds for govern
ment bonds as security and Represen-
tative Fowler is an enthusiastic ex-
ponent of asset currency. How prac-
teal recommendations for the action
of congress could come from such a
commission is difficult to see and the
recommendation of a commission
which did not represent all sides of
the question would be met with de-
cided opposition in congress. II it
were deemed advisable to make the
commission nonpartizan the addition
Of several democrats would hardly
make the prospects Of harmony bet
ter There would be in the highest
official opinion one result accom-
plished with certainty by such a COM
mission as was suggested by Repre-
sentative Hill and that is the effec-
tual postponement Of the financial
discussion for at least another year.

Saws II Isn't So.

London, Oct. S.-The japanese min
lister here, Baron Hayashi, to-day de-
scribed the announcement made by
the London Daily, Mails correspondent
at Kobe, Japan, that Baron de Rosen,
the Russian minister to Japan, had
presented note to the Japanese gov
eminent contending that Japan had
no right to interfere in the question
of the evacuation Of Manchuria and
proposing the partition of Korea be-
tween Russia and Japan, as being
...fantastical and unworthy of consid-
Grafton
The news from Kobe, the minister
says. is about as unreliable as news
from Shanghai He reiterated that
there was nothing in the situation in
Korea to occasion uneasiness.
IT have not heard, and do not
believe, added the Japanese minis
ter, that Russia has intimated her
refusal to evacuate Manchuria and
that She has refused to allow Japan
to interfere with her occupation. 7
see nothing in the situation at the
present, moment that supports the re-
ports Of a warlike attitude on the par,
OF either Russia or Japan.

THE LIBERALIST VIEW
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
Scouts Chamberlain's Arguments.

Sir Henry Campbell Bannerrnan
Scouts Chamberlain Arguments.
New York Sun Special Service.
London, Oct. S.-The first. official
opposition criticism of Mr.. Chamber
lain comes from Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, the liberal leader, who,
in the course Of two short letters, says
that he does not attach much import
ance to the stories of stagnants trade
and a tottering empire. He believes
that the facts are opposed to Mr..
Chamberlain's assumptions. He adds
that Mr.. Chamberlain overlooks the
fact that remission Of the. taxes on
sugar and tea Is. due already to, the
taxpayers, they being war taxes.
Sir Henry believes that the exist
ing land system in cities and towns
operates more severely against indus
try than do foreign tariffs. He would
seek relief in that direction. He de-
scribes Mr.. Balfour's policy as unal-
Logged protectionism, burdening the
whole community to enable a partic-
4ular class to make higher profits.
What right, Sir Henry asks, has a
government which has lost the conf
dence OF the country by administrative
failures and extravagances to reverse
the accepted fiscal policy Of the British
people

Yokohama, Oct. 8.-According to
information received here, the Rus
sian minister at Picking, M. Lessar,
has informed the Chinese legation that
Russia will never evacuate Manchuria
unless her latest demands are granted.
China, it is added, has appealed to-
the Japanese minister, M. Uchida, for
Japanese assistance.
The Japanese residents Of Jef-Wie-
Jul. have filed petition with the for.
eign office at Toxic, asking that a Jap
anese Warship and troops be sent to
protect their interests, in view of the
menacing attitude Of Russia. The res
ply of Japan is not yet known. rs.
The press which reported the forth
fication by Russia of Yongampho, on
the Korean bank Of the Yalu river.
considers this action as a possible
casus belli, as being an Infringement
of Korean integrity. The report, how.
ever, is not confirmed officially. The
temporary Korean minister of foreign
affairs has been relieved at: his own
request.
The town of Jef-Wie-Ju is probably
WIFI, a Korean town near the estuary
of the Amanok, on the frontier OF
China, and a great depot for overland
trade with that country. ~ 4sa$
