RUSSIA Bent On HOLDING /.
Determined to Acquire Permanent
Sovereignty in Manchurla'
IN DEFIANCE OF TREATIES.

Washington, April Minister Con
ger, from Pekin, has cabled to Secre
tary Hay synopsis Of the demands
made upon China by Russia respecting
control Of Manchuria.
The political impression here is that
the Russian action Is q distinct breach
Of faith with the Uniced States. The
Russian government pledged itself
three times formally and the docu-
ments are on record that the open door
should be maintained in Manchuria
and Russian troops would be with
drawn as soon as peace was restored.
Finally the latter promise took the
shape Of treaty stipulation. 1t was
provided that the evacuation should
take place within three distinct peri
DDS. The lust Russian soldier should
have quit Manchuria on the Sth Of this
month, according to that treaty.
Officials declare that there Is no dam
ger of war with Russia over this Incl
dent. The government Of the United
States has recorded Its ideas Of what
should be done in Manchuria, and as
the result of Secretary Hays projected
conference with the president, it is
probable that a further remonstrance
will be added. But it Is anticipated
that Russia will for the time being ut
least allay foreign oppositson, or at
least that of the United States, by car
rying out its pledge as to the "open
door," There will be no additional
treaty ports in Manchuria If Russia
in this last move.
An official Of the government well
informed regarding Chinese affairs,
says that the step taken by Russia is
one for which she has been preparing
for number of years. Extraordinary |
as it may seem, he says that there
seems to be no way of preventing the
of Russa's plan. He |
had no doubt that Russia would event.

BONDED DEBTS OF KANSAS.

are bearing but and 5 per cent inter
est, although there are a few old issues
outstanding upon which 6 and 7 per
cent is being paid. The Indebtedness
of the state compared with the munich
palities within it is ridiculously small.
1t amounts to but SG3s,OOO The in

ties, however, is being rapidly reduced,
times being good and the treasures
full of money, and where the bonds are
not being paid off they are being re-
funded at lower rates of interest.

OTHER ROADS RESTRAINED,


|
Kansas City, April 2O-Judge John
r. Phillips, in the United States circuit
court here granted a temporary in
junction restraining the following eight
named railroads from discriminating
against small shippers;
Chicago and Alton. Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul; Atchison, Topeka
and Santa re; Burlington and Quincy;
Missouri Pacific; Chicago Rock Island
and Pacifc; Wabash and Chicago
Great Western.
The decision delivered by Judge Phil
lips maintains that tho Determinations
and rebates made and allowed by the
railroad companies were violative OF
the interstate commerce act, and that
they tended to create monopoly IN
the shipment Of grain and products in
favor Of the individual shipper to the
practical exclusion Of all other dealers
and like shippers; and that question
presented was whether or not bill in
equity would lie to enjoin the defend
ants from further rebates aud dis
ordinations. The inclination Of the
mind Of the court was that the acts
done were not only violativc OF the
interstate commerce statute, but also
the antitrust, statute, and that the
government, in the capacity Of par
ent, representing all the people con-
cerncd in the shipment Of such products
and for the public welfare, was entitled
to appeal to It's own courts to enjoin
such violations Of the law; that the
bill known as the Ell1ins bill, under
the decision Of the supreme court OF
the United States, SO recently rendered,
expressly confers such Jurisdiction
upon the federal courts in equity, both
as to pending and future cases; that
there can be no question Of the right
of the court to grant temporary in
junction in the cases pending, which
will be done on motions now entered,
with leave to the defendants to take
issue by answer as to the truth OIL. the
Of the bill.

ROOSEVELT GIVES ADVICE.
Look At Your Differences From
Each Others Standpoint.
50 PROBLEMS WILL Be SOLVED

v Omaha, Nch, April 20.-Omaha is
threatened with an industrial strike on
May /, and The president was asked to
say something bearing on this subject
The following is taken from his
response:
III might give word Of advice to
Omaha, should like to see your dail-
press publish in full the concluding
portion Of that report Of the anthracite
coal strike commission, signed by all
the members thereof, by those in u
special sense the champion Of the wage
worker and by those in a special sense
identified with capital, organized or
unorganized, because those people did
not speak first as capt. list Or as labor
er, as Judge, as army man, as church
man, but they spoke, all OF them,
signed that report, all OF them, as
American citizens, anxious to see right
and Justice prevail. Capitalist and
wage worker alike, should honestly
endeavor each to look at any matter
from the others standpoint, with a
freedom on the one hand from the cor
temptible arrogance which looks down
upon q man Of less means and on the
other from the no less contemplate
envy, jealousy and rancor which hates
another because he is better off. Each
quality is tile complement of the other,
the supplement of the other, and in
point Of baseness there is not the
weight Of the finger to choose between
them. Look at the report signed by
those men; in the spirit in which they
wrote it, and If you can only make
yourselves, make the community, ap-
proach the problems Of today in the
spirit that those men, your fellows,
showed in approaching the great prof.
lem Of yesterday, any problem or prob
lens will be solved.
"Any man who tries to excite class
hate, sectional hate and hate OF creeds,
any kind Of hate in our community,
though he may affect to do it in the
class he Is addressing, is in the long
run with absolute certainty that class
own worst enemy. In tile long run
and as u whole we are going to 60 up
or go down together. Of course, there
will be individual exceptions, small,
local exceptions, exceptions in ltind,
exceptions in place, but as u whole ii
The commonwealth prospers, some
measure of the prosperity comes to all
3f us. If it is not prosperity, then the
diversity, though it may be unequally
upon us, will weigh more or less upon
vi. 1t lies upon ourselves to deter
nine our own fate"
