Committee Reports That Coming Ma
tional Gathering VIII Be Made
Interesting

The different committees appointed
by the Retail Grocers' Association have
been making rapid progress in their
respective lines of work and report that
great interest is being taken in both
the exposition to be held in the Me-
chanics Pavilion and in the entertain
ment of the delegates from the Nation
al Retail Grocers' Association.
The making of allotments for space
for exhibitors has been going on rap
idly and but little room remains un-
sold Most of the leading pure food
products of the coast will be exhibited
and the grocers are congratulating
by the exhibitors. Ninety-two Of the
main spaces have been contracted for
and the entire space in the building
will in all probability be sold in the
next week or two.
The reception to the visiting dele
gates will be on a grand scale, as a
large amount of money has been sub
scribed for this feature, independent of
the exposition itself. 1t will include
day trips to- different points around the
bay and special features in the even
ing.
One feature of the exposition in which
both producer and grocer are much in
terested will be the demonstrating of
the absolute purity of the different pro-
ducts, and ii is intended to make Ii a
great object lesson to the consumer.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March a.
More than a million dollars worth OF
property has been destroyed by the

than 1000 families rendered homeless.
Though the river is falling at
Wilkesbarre tonight towns In the vi

the worst flood in their history. Three
spans of the great steel bridge erect

Creek went out this afternoon.
The ice moved at Danville early in

The bridge was 1000 feet in length.
Industries all along the Susque-

VARIABLE STATEMENT FROM OFFICIAL SOURCE RUSSIA CRZES SECRETARY H
American Diplomacy Is Declared to Stand in the
Way Of European Efforts to Prevent
Spreading Of the War.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 9.-The
misgiving existing in high quarters
here regarding the ultimate aims and
purposes of the foreign policy of the
United States were verified to-day in
the following remarkable statement to
the press from an official source:
Were it not for a single unknown
quantity the European situation at
present would be as perfect as pos
sible for the avoidance of one thing
every chancellory in Europe has been
straining every nerve to prevent
namely, the ENHANCEMENT of an out
side power in this war. That unknown
quantity is your State Department The
situation following the outbreak of
hostilities was exceedingly delicate and
surcharged with dangerous possibili-
ties to the peace of the world, and the
leveI-headed statesmen of Europe in
stantly co-operated to avert a general
catastrophe, when, almost at the in
ception Secretary Hays circular note
for the naturalization of China almost
defeated them. But. happily, he did not
press it to a point where differences
were sure to have arisen, and, as it
turned out, owing to the length to
which the powers gave adhesion to its
principle it really contributed to the
trend which all desired. The note
might have proved disastrous, did not
the present moment find all Europe
practically in accord as to what should
be done.
THE only place where uncertainty
exists is Washington. We are at sea
as to what to expect from Mr.. Hays
American diplomacy, which in these
latter days is so aggressive, so start
lingly sudden in the way it proposes
propositions to the remainder of the
world, and we have not time to prepare
for the shock. 1t is veritable night
mare TO Europe. The present situation
is like an algebraic problem-every

SECRETARY HAY SMILES.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-No offense
is taken at the State Department at the
remarks of an anonymous Russian Of
fetal cabled from st. Petersburg to the
effect that the diplomacy of Secretary
Hay is a nightmare" to Europe, be-
cause he acts so suddenly that there is
no time for preparation for the shock,
and that a solution would be easy If
everybody knew what he stood for and
what he intended to do. Secretary Hay
undoubtedly regards the statement
from the Russian capital as a compli-
ment. He had no idea that the i'm
portance of American diplomacy would
be so openly recognized. His face has
worn a broad smile to-day whenever
the subject was brought to his atten-
ton. An Official a friend of Secretary
Hay, said tonight:
1T is puzzling to America to know
just what prompted this statement
from Russia. Perhaps too much i'm
portance was given it by putting it on
the cable. 1t seems to be rather foolish
since the relations between this coun-
try and Russia are so friendly and the
tension between the Russian and Amer
lean people is becoming less and less
annoying because less noticeable.
There never was a moment when the
interests of Russia were threatened by
the note which Mr.. Hay addressed to
the powers regarding the neutrality of
China. On the contrary. the interests Of
Russia were we'll served by the sending
of the note Mr.. Hay was a true friend
Of Russia. 1t is hoped that the effect
of the note and the assent of all the
powers to the simple principle suggest
ed in it will prevent China being
dragged into the war. That is surely to
the interest of Russia. The very fact
that both France and Germany assent
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-10

ed to the note is proof that it was for
the good of Russia, because both Of
these nations are friendly to Russia
and would not give encouragement to
anything which could have embar-
rassed her even remotely
WAR WILL NOT SPREAD.
What is thought of the suggestion
made by the ST Petersburg statement
that the Hay note really contributed to
the trend for peace?" was asked.
There can be no doubt that the Hay
note accomplished that very thing, and
the Russians are generous to acknowl-
edge it. 1t may have been sudden, but
ii came at the right hour. Perhaps Mr..
Hay had a clearer insight into what
was needed than the European diplo-
mats, who professed themselves sur
prised."
The official quoted further that the
Washington authorities agreed with the
view taken at st. Petersburg that the
outlook was good for confining the hos
tilities to the two belligerents con-
cerned. 1t has been growing better
every day since Hay first addressed the
powers on the subject of the neutrality
of China and the localizing of hostili-
ties 1t seemed now that no other pow
er will be brought into the conflict. In
that Russia would be benefited. If
France were brought into the war on
the side of Russia, Great Britain would
be sure to follow on the side of Japan,
and Russia would be weaker with both
of these powers so aligned. There seemed
to be no conditions which could arise
which would bring Germany into the
struggle, but if Russia were attacked
by Great Britain there was a strong
impression that public opinion in
France would force that nation into
war on the side of Russia, no matter
how strongly indisposed the Govern
ment might be to risking conclusions.
The prevailing belief now is that
Great Britain will be able to keep clear
of complications.

MRS. CHIN KING SUNG
MUST BE DEPORTED
Her Marriage to an American Citizeh
After the Order Had Been Made
Is IInnYailing.

Mrs. Chin King Sung must be de-
oorted to China, whence she came.
such Is the Judgment of the United
States Circuit of Appeals and such IS
the ending Of three years of litigation
in the case.
Three years ago the woman, VINO
was then known as Wooey Ho, arrlV-
ed at San Francisco from China and
demanded admission to the United
States as the daughter of Chlnese
merchant. The Chinese bureau re-
fused to admit her and she appealed
to the United States Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court decided that the
Judgment of deportation should stand.
The woman then surrendered herself
into custody of the United States Mar
shall. Pending deportation she was
released on bail. Last December she
married Chin King Sung, an American
citizen. and sued for a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that as the wife
of an American citizen, she was OF the
same political status as her husband
and entitled to remain in the country
The United States Circuit Court of
AppeaIs yesterday handed down a de-
cision to the effect that at the time
the judgment of deportation was en-
tered the petitioner was not entitled
TO remain here and that her marriage
subsequent to that date to an Ameri-
can citizen did not affect the validity
of the judgment.
So Mrs. Chin must go back to Chi
ma But should she return she will
