A BUSINESS ONE
RUSSIAN OFFICIALS FROM CHINA,
MANcHURIA AND KOREA DEPRE.
CATE WAR TALK-RESENTMENT
FELT AGAINST UNITED STATES

Port Arthur, July 9.-Via. Che Foo, july
1.-THE visit of all the prominent Russian
officials in China, Manchuria and Korea
to this place is strictly business one. The
officials had arranged an elaborate ester-
tainment for the visitors, but after
brief review of $4,000 troops on the race
track, General I<uripatkin, the Russian
minister of war, announced that the re-
mainder of the visit must be devoted to
work. High officials strongly depreciate
war talk which is rife among officers Of
low rank and civilians.
The policy of the United States govern
ment on the Manehurian question Is gem
orally regarded with surprise and resent
ment, comments being made to the effect
that the Russians expected Great Britain
to antagonize their project bat relied
upon the traditional friendship of Ameri-
ca to secure American approval.
Admiral Alexiff, who hitherto has re-
ceived visiting correspondents with mark
ed cordiality replied through his secretary
to an American who sought an interview
with him that considering the recent hos
tility of the American and British press
toward Russia. he could see no reason why
he should grant favors to their corre-
spondents.
The presence of a British squadron at
Wei -Hai-Wei and Of American warships
at Che Foo is a subject Of great interest
to the Russian officers who ask many
questions regarding the mission and
movements of the British and American
war vessels.
At Port Arthur there are twelve Rus
sian battleships and cruisers, and at
Vladivostock are forty-five smaller craft,
most of them tori pedo boats. The number
of troops at Port Arthur and IN its en-
yironments, according to the best infor-
nation is 10000. The fleet and army are
displaying unusual activity.

MODERN.

It is chicago's proud claim that she is the most up-to-date city. and she is certainly modern. How modern she is is indicated by the story that comes from there that one of her citizens who happened to be shot at also happened 10 have a roll of bills in his pocket which happened to stop the bullet and save his life.
 This is truly in accordance with the new times. Formerly bullets were ar- rested by bibles carried where they ought to be. Now money does the business in progressive Chicago. Per haps bibles are still carried in conser- vative cities like New Haven and Bos- ton, which have not yet been given en- tirely over to the worship of the new money god, but it is not surprising to read that money instead of a bible saved a mans life in Chicago.
 Some who know the speculative ten dencies of Chicago's men might doubt fully ask how 1t happened that in these days a Chicago man had a roll of bills. Perhaps he had not been quite cleaned out. He might have been on his way to his brokers office to respond to the call for more margin. Possibly he had been bear and was on his way home with the proceeds. In some of the conservative cities it would be hard to find man with a roll of bills large enough to stop bullet, but there are probably some "bears" in wide awake Chicago, and this man may have been one. Anyhow, he is alive and has money to burn with hot bull let.
