THREE POWERS TO
ENTER PROTEST

London, April 25.-The Associated
Press learns that there is in contem-
plation a forcible joint protest on the
part of Great Britain. the United
States and Japan against the Russian
demands in the matter of sovereignty
of Manchuria.
Sir Ernest Satow, British minister
to China. in dispatch to the foreign
office. confirms the synopsis of the
note addressed to China by NJ. Plan
con, Russian charge d'affaires to Pc
kin. Further official advices regard
ing the intentions of the Chinese gov
ernment and explanations from st. Pc
tersburg are awaited anxlously. Mean
time the British government is not
taking active measures, although For
eign Secretary Landsdowne intends to
circulate pour parleurs looking to
joint action from Washington. Lon

nation sustains the present abstract
of the Russian demands.
The foreign Office states that If the
Chinese government correctly repre-
sents Russia's claims, these claims
constitute absolute breach of all the
undertakings given in connection with
Manchuria, and utterly abrogate the
principles of the open door, terrific
rial division and international comfy,
to which the British government con-
stantly and publicly has committed it
self. 1t is added that in these prin-
ciples Great Britain has always acted
with the United States, and it is pre-
sumed that similar feelings exist at

definitely known, as with the excep-
ton of the British minister to China
no British ambassador has yet re-
ported.
Russia's explanation may throw a
different light on her demands, al
though in official circles here there is
frank expression of the belief that
Russia has no intention of evacuating
Manchuria, and that she hopes, after
demanding the maximum, to secure a
compromise.

SALISBURY AND THE UNITED

How the Late British Premier Awoke
10 the Importance of Concilating
Americans.

In an article on 1.-The United States and
the late Lord Salisbury" which appears
In the November number of The North
American Review, Mayo w. Hazeltine
dwells upon the signal service which Lord
Salisbury rendered in 1898 to his own
country and to the United States. AT the
beginning of his career, Salisbury's senti-
mcnts were anything but friendly to
America, and his sympathies in the Civil
War were avowedly with the seeding
States. His diplomatic negotiations with
the United States were apt to be OF
perfunctory character. and 1t was not I'M
til Mr.. Cleveland's celebrated message
forced him to the arbitration in the Nene-
zuela case which he had previously de-
clined to consider, that he awoke TO the

TAMMANY'S NEW BOSS.
Rise of Charles +. Murphy
TO n Position of National Importance.

Charles +. Murphy, the Tammany hail
leader, whom the events of day nave
raised to national Importance, is grad
uate of the Tammanv school of politics.
His interest in municipal and district at
fairs dates back to the days when he
played ball III the vacant lots of the gas
house" district. At thirty he was deputy
leader of the eighteenth assembly district,
and owned three saloons within its pre-
cints. Five years later he became leader
de facto. and realizing that he was in a
position to become power in Tammany
he set himself the task of becoming
valuable to Richard Croker.
With the election of Van Wyck in
1905 Murphy became dock commissioner,
At the conclusion of his term of office he
became one of the Triumvlrs appointed
to direct the affairs of the NVgwam
In May, 1902. he was made sole boss OF
Tammany. in that capacity he engineered
the Tammn nyzng of Brooklyn and the
overthrow of the Mclaughlin machine
His was also the brain that evolved the
coup of taking Grout and Fornes from
the fusion ticket and putting them on that
of Tammany. The election of this ticket
now places him in the front line Of demo
cratic politicians. His power will reach tC
Albany. His control of the democratic
caucus in both the Senate and Assembly
will place in his hand the direction of tn,
democratic policy.
He will be in a position to name more
than one-third of the State delegates t.
J the next democratic national convention
/ He will have the selecting of the demo
cratic candidate for governor next yea
and his influence will go far toward tn,
selection of a candidate for the pres
dency.

The Question of Canadian Annexation
From Different Points Of View.
OFrom the Bellows Falls Tim,

After 20 years of dispute the Alaskan
boundary question is settled but 1t looks
as if its settlement in our favor may be
productive of great and perhaps grave
results in Canada. The condition OF at
fairs in Canada is at present far from
peaceful. The Canadian government in
the person of her commissioners has in
simulated that Englands chief justice has
betrayed the interests of the colony while
from one end of Canada TO the other NUT
terings are heard which SAVIOR of disloyalty
and even suggest as a remedy separation
from the mother country. Some of our
papers have suggested the old plan OF
annexation but they evidently do not
understand the spirit of the Canadian
people for popular feeling in Canada as
n result of the Alaskan question is plainly
much the other way at present. 1t has
been even rumored that the idea is enter
tanned of closing Canadian ports and fish
ing waters to American vessels in spirit
of retaliation. Newfoundland II is eN-
pected, would join with the Dominion In
