1t is said the action of the government
of the Netherlands in stationing a war
ship permanently in the Dutch West
Indies is regarded in The Hague as dis
posing of the rumors that the sale of
the islands of Curacao to the United
States was in contemplation. Nobody
over here has had any idea that the
purchase of any of the Dutch West
Indies by the United States was in con
temptation. 1t usually takes two to
strike a bargain on the international

LET THE COUNCIL START RIGHT
The new city council elected on May 5
for a term of three years will convene
for the first time Monday for the pur-
pose of perfecting it's organization. The
membership of the new council is made
up of men who enjoy the popular conf
dence, and it is to be hoped they will
so conduct the affairs of the city as to
retain 1t to the end of their terms. In
their own interest and In the interest of
good government the new council should
revise It's rules and introduce some
needed reforms in the conduct of munici.
pal business and its mode of procedure.
One of the most needed reforms the
new council should inaugurate is the ex-
clusion Of the paid lobby from within
the enclosure of the council chamber and
from the committee rooms. The out
going council and the councils that have
preceded have been scandalized time and
again by the pernicious interference and
manipulation of corporation lobbyists
and contractors, who have had access to
the floor of the council during its public
sessions and have besieged councilmen
in the committee rooms.
1t is eminently proper that all parties
and corporations subject to municipal
legislation and regulation shall have fair
treatment by the council and fair hear
ing before the council committees when
their interests are under discussion

OUR Policy IN THE ORIENT.


There are no new developments in re-
gard to Russian policy in the far east
and according to the American ambassa-
dor at st. Petersburg, Russia has no
designs in China hostile to the interests
there of the United States. He received
assurances to this effect before leaving
St Petersburg being told officially that
the Russian government is one with the
United States in the open door policy in
China. He stated his conviction that
Russia is quite sincere in the matter.
This is reassuring and ought to have a
Quieting effect not only at Washington
but also in London, yet it is not entirely
easy to dismiss a feeling of suspicion
that Russia has some reservation to her
assurances.
AS to the position of that power in
Manchuria, it appears to be everywhere
recognized that it will not be aband-
oned, that Russia has too much at stake
to relinquish her hold there. For the
present, however, she may do nothing

countries in that quarter and it is need.
less to speculate on the future. SO far
as the United States Is concerned il
has simply to adhere to it's well-defned
policy of insisting upon the maintenance
of the integrity of China and equal trade
conditions there with other nations. This
it can do without entering into any al
lance with another power or any un
derstonding that might impair its right

1t is evident that most of the pine
will be shipped from off the reserya

Small loggers are complaining that
it will be impossible for them to give

KILLED ON THE WAY
TO HIS DYING WIFE
An Aged Inmate of Poorhouse
Struck by Street Car While
Going to Hospital.

While on his way to the city hospital
to see his dying wife, David Fisher,
aged seventy-five years, an inmate of
the poor farm, was killed by street
car at Sixth avenue south and Sixth
street yesterday afteInoon.
Just before leaving the poor farm
he told the superintendent that he was
going to see his sick wife and that he
might be gone several days, as he
fore she died. That was the last the
keepers of the farm heard of him until
they were notified of his death.
Monday afternoon Mr.. Fisher visited
his wife at the city hospital, and the
two sat together for several hours.
The woman was falling rapidly. The
doctors said that she could live but a
few days. When the time came for her
husband to leave her she babe him
farewell, and he promised that he
would return to see her Wednesday
afternoon.
Yesterday Mr.. Fisher left the home
of friend to make his call at the hos
pitaL He bought a few delicaoies, the
last perhaps that he would ever be
able to give her, and started on his
mission
He reached the crossing of the
Eighth and Central line. near the hos
pitaL just as a south-bound car came
along. The car was made up of a mo-
tor and trailer, but the old man did
not appear to see the trailer, so anx-
ious was he to reach the hospital. Just
as the motor passed, he stepped
quickly forward and was struck by the
front end of the trailer.
The force of the collision was suffi :
Gent to throw the feeble old man to
the ground. When the car was stop
ped and men ran to his assistance they
found that he was dead
The remains were taken to the coun-
ty morgue and the coroner notified.
He investigated the circumstance sur
rounding the accident and attaches no
blame to the street car men. The body
will be buried by friend of the Fisher
family, who few years ago agreed to
give the old man a decent burial when
he died.
Mrs. Fisher is sixty nine years old,
and the physicians say that it is only
matter of few days at the most
until she will succumb to her disease.
She is so weak that the news of her
husbands death has been kept from
her.

of goo. The rain, while Ii interfered
with the going of the horses, helped
out the grand stand box Office, for,
with the exhibition buildings packed

sightseers sought refuge in the covered
stands. On account of the disagree
able weather, the balloon ascension,
the flying dive act of the cyclist,
Schreyer, and the turns Of the comedy
and society acrobats were postponed,
the management attempting to present
nothing more than the race card.
AS the heavy track made the going
slow, the different events were, with
one exception, a series of parades. In
the first heat of the first race, the PIT
trot, Fanforan and Norman B aroused
the spectators with driving finish
that was not ended until Fanforan
pulled under the wire a winner by a
neck. Norman B had no trouble with
the following heats, and Fanforan
landed second place without difficulty.
In the 2:1S pace Castlewood won the
three heats in a row, Billy Boggs fin
ishing second in each heat. George
Ketcham won the novelty running
race. In this race purses were offer
ed to the horse first at the half and
first at the mile. Duplicate, who fin
ished last in the race, led at the half
mile and pulled down $50, and As
SCISSOR, leading at the mile. took an
other $50.
The concluding race of the day was
announced as a hurdle race on the
programme, but, owing to the condi-

was eliminated, the judges fearing the

EnaIand looks to canada.

LONDON, Sept. 3.-The final defeat OF
Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger
Shamrock III. was received in London
with absolute listlessness. Most of the
afternoon papers published a special edi-
ton announcing the resp< of the cup
race, but the announcement had already
been discounted by the dispatches giving
the progress of the race.
The consensus is that Sir Thomas has
done everything that time and money
could accomplish and widespread sym
pathy for him is shown. The chief hope
expressed in the streets is that Canada
will enter the lists next year and possibly
succeed where the mother country has
failed. 1t seems improbable that in view
of the failure of Shamrock H.. another
challenger will soon be dispatched from
England.
