THE YELLOW PERIL.

The yellow peril as expcunded or the Continent has no practical meaning for US. It is will-o -the-wisp that may divert us from our path and lead us far astray. Even if the worst accord- Ing to the Russian prophecies were to happen, it must be remembered that Japan, the motive-pOwer according to M. De Lanessan, is an island state. which would always be liable to the moral and naval pressure that the English-speaking states, England. America and Australia, could bring to bear upon it.
 But if we substitute Russia for Jap an, the yellow peril assumes a totally different aspect Russia is not an island state. She is a vast land em- pire stretching from the Baltic to the Pacific. She has few vulnerable points and once she is secure in Manchuria there will be fewer still open to attack Naval reverses will not bring her to her knees, when her land communica- tions across Siberia have been perfect

ed. She will be able to deride the ter TOTS of blockade. These may be ser ious matters for all her neighbors, but for British interests in Asia, cOmmer~ cial as well as political, they must signify a heavy blow and perhaps a deadly blow. While we can afford to look on the development Of the so- called yellow peril under Japanese au- spices, with calmness, and even to en- courage its progress with a clear res ervation as to our sphere in the Yang tse valley, no such tolerance can be safely extended to the realization of Russia's schemes for obtaining the control of the destinies of China. Her success would mean the creation of that formidable militant power that is described in such impressive language as theatening Europe with a return of the days of the 'scourges of God" But whereas the peril under the direc- ton of the Japanese would never be more than a phantom for any state except Russia it might become in the hands of Russia a menace to the peace of the world. and the means of over throwing the British empire in Asia, and of laying the whole fabric of Brit ish commercial prosperity level with the ground.-Nineteenth Century and after.

Hanna's Small Fortune

It is surprising to learn that the late Senator Hanna left an estate of but three million dollars. e. there abouts. As fortunes go in these days, three millions Is not a great sum. Mr. Hanna had filled such a large place in the commercial world, had employed so many men and had wielded such a tremendous influence, that the public generally had long ago reached the conclusion that he was very wealthy. His own bread handed liberality and readiness to assist friends in distress accounted. of course, for much of this popular surposition. Perhaps. how ever, partisan enemies did still mere to magnify the size of his fortune. In cartoons, in the press and cn the stump he was constantly held up and caricatured as a typical millionaire of the supremely wealthy class. Now it is seen that, notwithstanding the great magnitude and wide diversity os his business interests, and notwithstand- ing his long and successful business
 The comparatively small estate left by MT. Hanna only emphasizes the fact that the overshadowing influence which he exerted in business and oo- litical life was due to an extraordinary personality.

QUAIL ABUNDANT IN OKLAHOMA

With favorable weather conditions during tho nesting season next spring there should he more quail in Okla homa in the fall Of 1904 than at any time since the country was opened. The game law enacted by the last legislature was so prohibitive that dur ing the past open season for quail.
 which closed February 1, the killing Of birds was reduced to q minimum. Not only was it against the law fer any person to ship quail to points outside of Oklahoma, but an Oklahoma sports man could not ship quail on common carriers from one point 10 another in Oklahoma.

Blame Rlls. Not Roosevelt.

In the early pages of ''Theo5ore Roosevelt the Citizen." which the Out look company is to publish soon, Jacob A. Riis tells quite plainly what the reader is to-expect, for he says;
 "So then it is understood that I am dissolved from routine, from chronol- ogy, and from statistics in writing this story I am to have full leave to put things in as l think of them as the critics of my books say I do, anyhow. A more absurd charge was never made against any one, it has always seemed to me, for how can a man put thing in when he doesn't think of them? am. just to write about Theodore Roose- welt as I know him, of my own knowl edge or through those nearest ard dearest to him. And the responsibility will be mine altogether. 1 am not going to consult him, even if he is the presi- dent of the United States. For one thing because, the only time I ever did, awed by his office, he sent the copy back unread with the message that he would read it in print. Sc, if anything goes wrong, blame me and me only"
 That MT. Riis approaches with a great deal of enthusiasm his task of writing a satisfactory life of the Pras!- dent may be gathered from this state ment in the opening chapter:
 "I shall be speaking 10 the young. whose splendid knight he is, himself vet a young man filled with the high courage and brave ideals that make youth the golden age of the great deeds forever. And I want to show them the man Roosevelt, who, through many a fight in which hard blows were dealt, never once proved unfaithful to them; who, going forth with a young mans resolve to try to make things better in this world, even little better. because he had lived in it, through fair days and foul, through good report and evil (and of this last there never was a lack), sounded his battle cry. Better faithful than famous and won"

A Tribute to John J. Valentine.

In the March issue of Success ap- pears an important article by Eiwin Markham entitled, "Ors the Trail to the Golden Gate" which describes the be- ginnings of the express industry. In this article MT. Markham pays the fol- lowing beautiful tribute to the late John J. Valentine, who, as president of the Wells, Fargo and Company Ex- press, was one of the great builders of the west:
 Fear never made him trim to the wind. He uttered himself on public events, whether he went with the popu- lar habble or against it. Nc interest or influence ever drew him to the support of shady lobby or crooked policy. He stood simply and solidly for the primary rectitudes. By his honorable life he made men in love with honor.
 An army of men was under him, not as servants and hirelings, but as frie nds and sons. A large and genial nature had this captain of industry, a man who loved and trusted men, and was loved and trusted by them.
 With ideal sentiments and broad outlook, he also had a genius for de- NdllS. I1s llldtt frequent .NlSllS lO lDC scattered express offices, and no item was too small for him to note with ap- proval or experimenting escaped h.s eye from the crating of a case of eggs to the adjusting of a checkrein on a horse at the door. He was always ready. in "a rush, to handle bundles with the clerks. A story is told that he once took hold to help driver load packages at Christmas time. Mistak- ing him for holiday hand, the driver Taid, You'll be likely to get a steady job with this company pardner; you seem to be a hustler"
 Nothing shows the humanity of the man better than his letter to his driv- CTS, beginning with, "A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast" and going on to give minute directions for the care of horses in winter. In order that his men should not become hope lessly yoked tc desk CT wagon, he did what he could to give to each man the material means for living a comple e life. He knew that men are not mere hands, but also souls. Salaries were liberal and were continued during ill- ness, hours were shortened, vacations were insured, libraries were established (some of them out of his private fuuds) anu DOoAS were sent tfee 10 emplNYf S. Deeper than ever now was the hold of the Wells-Fargo company upon the hearts of it's men. A growing affect on seemed 10 knit the whole fabric t~- gether from president to porter It was one case, at least. where sentiment be- gan to have place in business. John J. Valentine did his work and has gone to his own place. He helped to sweeten toll and to build up the hope of the world"

The Canal Treaty Ratified.

The Panama canal treaty was rau- fled by the Urited States senate yes terday. ard the construction of great water way to connect the two oceans at the iGthmus of Panama IS now assured. The final and decisive step has been taken toward the con sumation Of the most important com mercial undertaking in which this country has. been engaged since the Louisiana purchase. Indeed, far-reach- ing and immeasurable in its results as was Jefferson's purchase of Louisiana the construction of the Panama canal will have scarcely less influence in shaping our national destiny. With out invading the domain of hypeTbole it may be said that a. great turning point has been reached in United States history. Were Mir. Roosevelt to accomplish nothing else during the seven years that he is to occupy the White house, his administration would be made notable for all time by ts'e Panama canal.
 And IL IS SdIe 10 say Iudl HO att Oi the senate in recent years has been so closely In accord with public sentiment. The whole country demanded the canal, and after half a century of dis cussion was growing impatient at de- lays It was In no mood to listen to the objections interposed by Mir. Cor man. Mir. Morgan, MT. Carmack, MT. Bailey, and a few other democratic senators, and it Is to be recorded to the credit of the democratic party that, notwithstanding the party whip, but 14 votes could be mustered against the treaty.
 Not only were the people almost unanimous for the treaty, but the op- position of the transcontinental rail- ways had practically disappeared. As Q matter of fact, there had been no organized opposition to canal legisla- tion since the death of Collis P. Hunt ington. Railway managers of the present day had wisely figured that the commerce of this country will be stimulated immensely by the canal, and that the increased traffic there from will more than offset any loss of business because of water competi- tion.

THE CHARM WORKED TOO WELL

s story of witchcraft in East Africa, was told at a. meeting of the Folklore society by Robert Webb. A man ap- rlied to a witch doctor for powerful charm to kill an enemy. He was given parcel to bury in the path down which the victim was to walk. To test it's efficacy the man buried it just out side the door of the witch doctors hut. A female slave of the magician was the first to leave the hut. and on passing the spot fell dead. The witch doctor sued his client for the value of the dead slave, and the caee was tried be- fore the native cOurts.-London Daily Mail

HUNDREDS OF MILES OF
WIRES COATED WITH ICE
Sleet Played Havoc with Trolley
Lines and Impaired Telegraph
Facilities.
TROUBLE AT LOUISVILLE

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Feb. 1S.-A storm of
sleet and rain. extending over a territory
two hundred miles in extent. with Louisville
as its center. to-day handicapped all means
of transportation and seriously impaired tel
egraph facilities. Trains from the north
and west were especially affected. several
OF them being many hours late. Not since
the famous sleet which attended the visit
of Admiral Schley to this city, three years
age have there been such weather condi-
tions.
Although the street car company kept
cars running all night, the service to-day
was for a time entirely suspended. Later,
by the addition of one man, who was put on
top of each icy car TO remove ice from the
trolley, a few cars were run. A large cleo
trio line burdened with icy wires fell across
Baxter avenue with a crash, carrying away
a trolley wire and missing the rear of a
street car by only a few feet. The forty
seven passengers in the car were thrown
into a panic by the suffering and flashing
of the current and were held prisoners until
the electricity was turned off and the
wrecking crew sent for.
~ number of minor accidents caused by
police and hospitals, but nobody was Sc
riOusly hurt.
Trouble began for the telegraph COM
panies with the opening of business for the
day. One by one the wires failed and at
noon the only means of communication
southwark out of Louisville and north to
Indianapolis was by the leased wires Of the
Associated Press. There was no INT
cation to Cincinnati or Memphis save by a
circuitous route; Evansville was entirely
shut off and wires in every direction were
reported on the ground. The telephone
companies received many complaints, but
they do not expect serious Impairment I'M
less the storm is followed by a high wind.

IMPROPER AGREEMENTS
ALLEGED IN COPPER DEAL
MacGinnis Asks Court to Restrain
Boston and Montana Con-
solidated from Selling.
ECHO OF HEINZE FIGHT

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-John MacGinnis
has applied for an injunction restraining
the Boston and Montana Consolidated Cop
per and Silver Mining Company and others
from making any disposition of any prop
erty of the corporation. The sureties on
the bono are Arthur P. Heinze and Otto o.
Heinze. Later a temporary injunction was
granted by Justice Gildersleeve of the Su-
preme Court.
Counsel for Mr.. MacGinnfs made the fol-
lowing statement: 1T is apparent that
Mr.. MacGinnis is not satisfied that the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of Montana
had virtually ended all litigation as far
as the dividend question of the Boston ana
Montana is concerned. The injunction
signed by Justice GilderSleeve reStrains
the payment of the several moneys in con-
troversy. The order is returnable to-mor-
row.
THE action involves very serious and i'm
portant questions not affected by the de-
cisiOn of the Montana court in that the ac-
ton is of an entirely different nature, and
the relief sought also entirely different.
Among other facts charged is one that the
Anaconda had paid to the Amalgamated or
two of its directors the sum OF $T,0O,OO in
two payments; that improper agreements
had been made by the Amalgamated with its
subsidiary companies to furnish material
at a cost far in excess of what the same
could be purchased for elsewhere.
THE action prays for an accounting and
an investigation of the acts of the directors
Of the Amalgamated Company, and to set
aside the improper agreements.
THE rumors as TO a settlement are UNI
founded, and Mr.. MacGinnis will not stop
his suit until he has been fully protected
and obtained his just rights"
