RESPECTING CnINA's RIGHTS.

Russia's promise to respect the rights
of China. while holding a large part OF
| it and using it as Russian soil for war
| purposes, does not count for very much,
even though the pledge is heraIded as y
triumph of American diplomacy. Upon
this and other related points an Eng
hsh paper has the following:
If Japan and China together. with
the aid OF the benevolent neutrality of
Great Britain and the United States,
can check Russia's onward march for
twenty years, it will give them time to
so reorganize China that we shall hear
no more of schemes for her partition.
We have said Japan and China together
because, while China has determined
to remain neutral if Japan and Russia
come to blows. her leading men. like
Prince Su, Na-Tung, Yuan Shin Kai,
and General Ma, have no idea of MAIN
tanning passive neutrality. Prince
Su's contention, with which the other
big men we have named are under
stood to agree, is a very sound one.
If China is to remain neutral, she must,
if necessary, enforce her neutrality;
and enforcing her neutrality means
turning the Russians out of Manchuria,
because it is not just to Japan to allow
Russia to make use OF China's three |
eastern provinces as base of opera |
tons against Japan.
ITO this argument Russia can make
no valid reply. 1t is now more than
six months after the date on which !
she promised to evacuate Manchuria
entirely; and even if China could be
persuaded to acknowledge the validity
Of Russia's pretexts for prolonging her
in time of peace. it is OBJ
viously an act unfriendly to Japan to
allow Russia to use Chinese territory !
,or the furtherance of her military
'perations.''

In day or two the Advertiser will
publish large war map, with distances
marked and all the places of interest
plainly set down. This map will be
based upon the one issued by the Illus
trated London News, which is nearly
correct. As the news develops and in
significant towns become important as
places of military or naval concern, the
map will be republished with additions
1t will, in fact, keep pace with the war.
Subscribers who cut out the map and
paste it on cardboard will have a useful
and handy guide to the study of the
campaign.

SENATOR HANNA DIES
VIII LIE UNCONSCIOUS
Continued from page -

- 49,
realizing the Importance of the coal
and iron industry of the Great Lakes
identified himself in small way with
that business. BY strict industry he
enlarged the scope of his activity year
after year until he became a great
power in the financial world of Cleve-
land. 1t was through the business of
one of his great coal mines that he
became acquainted with Mckinley. At
that time the latter was an obscure
lawyer and had taken charge of some
cases in which he defended small
band of striking miners. Their bust
ness dealings at that time ripened into
friendship which lasted through the
vagaries of many political campaigns
until the death of the President
In late years Hanna has been con-
nected with some great business enter
prises. He was head of the firm of
NJ. A. Hanna & Co, coal operators;
director of the Globe Ship Manufac-
turing Company; president of the
Union National Bank; president of the
Cleveland City Railway Company;
president of the Chaplin Mining Com
pany; and had extensive interests in
other business enterprises.
Hanna received his first real political
start when the late Gov. Bushnell. of
Ohio, appointed him Senator to fill the
vacancy caused by sherman's retire
ment in 1897. After that the editors
of his State took care of him. He
remained in the Senate and his current
term would not have expired until 1905.
He was a member of some of the i'm
portant committees of the Senate. He
had been chairman of the Republican
National Committee since the cam
paign which elected Mckinley Presi-
dent the first time. AS a statesman
Mr.. Hanna has always been looked up
on as strong. He was blunt. coura-
geous and honest. man of affairs.
he knew the needs of the United states
and his rugged way of advancing. the
interests which he considered most i'm
psrtant won for him many friends.
One of his famous sayings was that he
would rather make harmony between
the forces of capital and labor in the
United States than become President.
Less than year ago Hanna dis
posed of his business enterprises. He
sold his steamship lines, his iron mines.
his coal mines. and his street railways.
and declared that he would spend his
time in connection with public affairs.
Senator Hanna leaves wife. a son.
and daughter. Ruth, the latter hav-
ing been married last June to Joseph
NJ. Mccormick. a son of the United
States ambassador to ST. Petersburg.

For years this paper has urged the
ex-Queen to drop her quest of a for
tune from Congress, but misled by
claim agents and jollied along by in
dividual Senators and Members who
ought to have been in better business,
the venerable lady has made annual
journeys to Washington, only 10 meet
recurring disappointments. Now again,
for perhaps the fifth or sixth time her
bill has failed to pass. 1t is perfectly
clear to any one who knows how even
just claim without votes behind it
rarely gets much notice from Congress,
that the Queens claim. about the jus
tice of which opinions differ, and which
has no votes behind it, cannot possibly
pass. Liliuokalani will never get a
nickel from~Congress if she lives to be

every year.

Concerning the report from Maya
saki that Japan is now mobilizing her
army, a thing done long ago, we may
infer that something is going on which
the talk of slow preparation is intended
to conceal. Coupled with the feint at
Pigeon bay-a small cove west of Port
Arthur-and the landing or attempted
landing near Dalny. we have report
from Alexieff that the japanese are
preparing to land at another place
called Tsinjenda. It ali tends to show
that the army. instead of mobilizing,
is moving. and that something. decisive
from it will be heard soon. Possibly
the blizzard, which has ragged for three
days in the Gulf of Pechili, has delayed
the plans of invasion.

To complicate the naval data in
hand comes a dispatch from London
in this mornings budget, carrying the
rumor of another battle at Port Arthur
in which eight Russian vessels were
sunk and ten captured. Unless Rus
sian fleet from yladivostok has come
to raise the siege-which is most I'M
Hkely-the story can win no credence.
There Were but fifteen war vessels at
Port Arthur. as We have seen, before
the disastrous battle of the sth. Where
could eighteen drop from now? Lon
don, it should be remembered, is as
full of pro-Japanese invention as Paris
is of pro-Russian romancing.

The Bulletin admits that the Adver-
tiser has more time, than it has itself,
to set accurate war news. That is one
of several reasons why the public takes
the morning paper by preference. The
Advertiser has both the time and the
intention te keep its readers in touch
with what is actually going on. in the
Far East; the Bulletin apparently has
neither.

nIlR TRADE WITH RUSSIA.

| Exports from the United States to
! Russia in the year just ended aggre-

! amount of our exports to Russia in
! 1901 the year in which duties We're ad-
tvanced upon merchandise from the
United States entering Russia, and is
also double the average for many years

since that time In 1903 they were
s1O,907315, against $7,263,S74 in 1901.
Thus the total commerce between the
United States and Russia in the cal
endar year 1903 exceeds thirty million
dollars, and is double that of 1901, the
year in which such alarm was felt with
reference to our commerce with Rus

exports in 1903 are 55 million dollars

the reduction in exports, as compared |
with 1901, is more than II millions, and |
to Belgium, more than 3 millions. To |
