CANNOT OPEN PORTS.
So Minister Conger Is Informed by
Prince Ching
SURPRISE TO WASHINGTON.


Pehng July 22.-Prince Ching. the president
of the Foreign Office. has written 10 United
States Minister Conger refusing TO open towns
in Manchuria. In his letter he dwells on the
impossbiity Of China opening to foreigners
towns which are not in her possession. but are
held by Russian troops and points out the
complications which would be likely 10 follow.
II is believed here. however, that 6 com
promise may be reached by including one town
Ia -Tung-Kao-in the new commercial treaty.
Washington, July pas the Chinese Gov
ernment has recently expressed its willingness
TO yield TO the desires of the United States for
open ports in Manchurta, the officials here are
at q loss to understand the communication sent
by Prince Ching 10 Minister Conger refusing
this concession. They have received no advices
the subject The Importance Of the COM
rnuncatiou, If it accurately reflects the attitude
Of the Chinese Government, is fully realized in
Washington. However, impressed with the
heretofore expressed willingness Of China to
open Manchurian ports, reinforced by the as
surances given to this government by Russia
along the same lines, the officials continue firm
in their belief that the situation will ultimately
be clarified and the efforts Of the United States
will be rewarded
In some quarters the objections urged to the
opening of ports in Prince Chng's communica-
ton are regarded as a mere diplomatic quibbIe,
designed, perhaps. to placate Russia. No mat
ter what fresh obstacle may intervene this gov
ernment, firm in the conviction that the prin-
ciple Of the open door in China should be en-
joyed by all nations, will continue TO exert it's
influence in that direction
Notwithstanding the publication OF cable dis
pa tches questioning the extent of the promises
made to the American Government by China
and Russia respecting Manchuria. the officials
here positively decline to add to OF take one
word from the statement sent from Washington
just before the departure Of Secretary Hay, TO
the effect that satisfactory assurances had been
received that two or more Manchurian ports
would be opened to the worlds trade It is Ger
tain thai China, which is regarded here as the
sovereign power in Manchuria, made these
pledges, and ii is equally certain that the United
States Government fully intends that they shall
be kept The details referred to in the original
statement as requiring adjustment still
settled, but the State Department is patient,
resting IN full confidence Of the opening Of the
ports required within a reasonable time It is
true, as stated in the London dispatches. that
Japan looks with suspicion on the Russian
pledges relative to Manchuria, and has indi-
Gated 10 the State Department that they are not
satisfactory but so far the department sees
reason 10 accept that view.

MRS. La BoUNTIE MAKES STATEMENT.
Says 100000 Will Be Realized from Opera
tions of Man Who Was Insane.

Buffalo. July 22.-Mrs. Frank V. La Bountie the
wife OF the confidential clerk and bookkeeper for
the law firm Of Wilson & Smith. who. it is al
legged used hundreds Of thousands OF dollars of his
employers money to carry on his extensive real
estate deals. made a statement to-day in behalf
OF her husband. She admits that her husbands
operations were extensive scale than
thus far had been admitted. The figures now are
approaching the half million mark. and the tnves-
tlgation is not nearly finished Mrs La Bountie
said:
My husband returned $4,000 before his EMPLOYERS
knew anything about his WTongdOing Since the
beginning OF the investigation ne has turned over
TO the firm Of Wilson & Smith property that asgre-
gates in value not less than $4,000 That figure is
conservative estimate Of the value of the prop
erty. In other words, he has restored nearly
S5Oo00O. No one can feel worse about this than
Frank does. When he realized what he had done
he did everything in his power to straighten out
aralrs. and he intends TO continue 20 do SO When
all is over Wilson & Smith will be able 70 reaIize
profit Of at least 100000 from the operations OF
a man who was insane the subject OF real estate
specula tons. and whose mental arrangement was
due entirely 10 being overworked. If Frank is ar
rested as has been hnted. we feel that the revea-
uon or the true facts in the Will be q good
and sufficient defence for him.
