CIRCULAR TO THE POWERS.
Russia Formally Protests Against Ac.
tions of Japan.

tIons OF Japan.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 24.-Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff has sent the fol-
lowing circular to Russian representa-
tives abroad:
"Since the rupture of the negotia-
lions between Russia and Japan the
attitude of the Toxic cabinet has con-
stituted open violation of all custom
airy laws governing the mutual rela-
tions Of civilized nations. Without
specifying each particular violation Of
these laws on the part of Japan, the
imperial government considers it
necessary to draw the most serious
attention of the powers to the acts Of
violence committed by the Japanese
government with respect to Korea.
The independence and integrity of
Korea, as a fully Independent empire,
has been fully recognized by all the
powers, and the inviolability of this
fundamental principal was confirmed
by article one of the Shimoneseki
treaty and by the agreement especial
ly concluded for this purpose between
Japan and Great Britain on Jan. 80,
1902, as we'll as by the Franco-Rus-
sian declaration of March 16, 1902.
1.-The emperor of Korea, foreseeing
the danger of possible conflict be-
tween Russia and Japan, addressed
early in January, 1904, note to all
the powers declaring his determina-
ton to preserve the strictest neutral
ity. This declaration was received
with satisfaction by the powers and
it was ratified by Russia.
Violated International Law.
"In disregard of all these facts, in
spite of all treaties, in spite of it's OBJ
legations, and in violation of the
fundamental rules of international law,
it has been proved by exact and fully
confirmed facts that the Japanese
government, first, before the opening
of hostilities against Russia, landed
its troops in the Independent empire
of Korea, which had declared it's neu-
trality; second, with a division of it's
feet it made a sudden attack on Feb.
8, that is, three days prior to the decla-
ration of war, on two Russian warships
in the neutral port Of Chemulpo. The
commanders of these ships had not
been notified Of the severance OF
diplomatic relations, as the Japanese
maliciously stopped the delivery of
Russian kilograms by the Danish ca
ble, and destroyed the telegraphic
communication of the Korean govern
ment.
Third, in spite of international law
and shortly before the opening of hos
tilities, the Japanese captured as
prizes of war certain Russian mer-
chant ships in neutral ports of Korea.
Fourth, Japan declared to the en-
peror of Korea, through the Japanese
minister at Seoul, that Korea would
henceforth be under Japanese admins
tration and she warned the emperor
that in case of his Noncompliance,
Japanese troops would occupy the
palace.
Fifth. through the French minister
at Seoul she summoned the Russian
representative at the Korean court to
leave the country
The above are alleged to be VIOLA
lions Of international law and Russia
asks her representatives to present
the facts to foreign governments as
her protest against Japan's actions.

Paris, Feb. 24.-In a dispatch from
Hardin, Manchuria, a correspondent
Of the Matin says ambulances are be-
ing sent in there from all parts of
Russia, and that the Baltic railroad
has furnished a sanitary train for 200
wounded.
A dispatch from Port Arthur pub
lished in Paris this morning denies
categorically the reports of new at

says they have been repulsed with
loss every time they appeared in the
roadstead.
The Russian colony at Seoul has
taken refuge in the legation at Che

it is satisfactory to be able to say that

In the first place, of course, there is
the Anglo-French agreement, which has
set at rest anxieties that have overhung

TALK OF GOOD ROADS
General Miles Has Views on
That Subject.
ARMY COULD GIVE AID
In Time of Peace Engineers
Could Plan the Work

st. Louis, Mo-, May lin the interna-
tional good roads convention today, the
principal speaker was General Nelson A
Miles. General Miles declared himself to
be thoroughly in sympathy with the
movement for better roads and in his ad-
dress recommended that 5000 men in the
army be used in times of peace as an en-
gineering corps to locate the best and
most feasible roads and cooperate with
the surveyors Of various states. He said
that the government would be vastly
benefited by such a proposition when it
became necessary to use such roads. The
preliminary work Of surveying could be
done by the army, he said, and the work
then left to the state to be carried to
completion and the general Of the army
to ave control. General Miles said he
would have introduced in congress a
resolution or bill to this effect. A. W.

A MAN OF MANY ANXIETIES.

THE cares and tolls of chief engineer
in the navy" remarked one of them to a
! reporter, referring to the recent death of
Commander Warburton on the battleship
| Maine, have not diminished any by SUBJ
stituting enlisted men for the assistant
engineers formerly employed in the navy,
nor are they likely to be. Nor has the
change Of title OF chief engineer made
any difference in his responsibilities.
Lieutenant Commander Wharburton
entered the Naval Academy as cadet en-
gineer in 1872, and was graduated in 1876.
Two years later he was commissioned as
an assistant engineer, and in 1887 he was
promoted TO past assistant engineer He
was promoted to chief engineer in 1897
and transferred to the line as a lieuten-
ant commander in 1908, but, like the other
transferred engineers, he was to continue
engineering duties.
He was wrecked on board the Huron
in 1877 on which occasion he acquitted
himself with great credit. He served on
board the New Orleans during the war
with Spain.
1T was his custom in the old engineer
corps to begin al the bottom of the engi-
neering ladder and obljge each engineer
to do practically all the work in the en-
CINE room and fireroom excepting the
actual handling of coal. 1t was impressed
on them from the very beginning that
the engineer on watch had all the respon-
sibility of his watch. and he must see
personally to each and every job done.
The habit once formed was forced to
stick, and as long as they did service
they were looking after details and never
ceased to feel the responsibility. 1t is
more than likely that Lieutenant Com
mander Warburton was overworked in
that ship, which had something over 100
engines (for all purposes), and with 49,
600 horse power in her main engines

LABOR PROBLEM STUDIED
Opposition to Strikes the Key.
note to His Address.

! Pittsburg, Pa, May 17.-Nearly 200 dele
| annual convention of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers was called to
ordert today.
At the conclusion of the welcoming adj
dianapolis, delivered his annual address.
In his annual address, President Parry
briefly discussed the labor problem which
he declared was at present the para
mount question before the association. In
reviewing the labor events of the past
year he said:
There ar many indications which go
to show that organized labor is learn
ing very valuable lesson in economics
and law observance and hopes can be
reasonably entertained that the strikes
which have characterized the last year
will be less strenuous in the immediate
future
In regard to the National Association
of Manufacturers l am positive that
any crusade having for its object the
grinding down of labor would meet with
the determined opposition of practically
the entire membership. The policy of
this association is primarily one Of peace
If We stand for anything we stand for
the development of American industry.
1t is obvious that men will hesitate to
invest their capital in productive enter
prises if it means constant struggle with
labor unions and if frequent strikes tend
to destroy trade by making uncertain
the filling of contracts. Industrial strife
adds hazard to investments involving
the employment of labor which will not
fail to be injurious to industrial de-
velopment, thus causing permanent loss.
maintenance of peace and not to the
adoption of measures that will arouse
hostilities.
Speaking of the closed shop Mr. Parry
said:
The closed shop is against public policy
and is of doubtful legality. The liberty
of the individual would be impossible if
he is debarred from the right to con-
tract for his services because he does
not belong TO a union. l believe that
this truth will become generally recog-
nized and that the day must come when
no industry will be allowed to, run on
the closed shop plan
In closing Mr.. Parry announced that
the association had gained thousand
members in the last year bringing the
total membership up to 1900 and was in
better financial condition than ever be-

BOIL WEEvIL PROBLEM.
Little Encouragement for Destruction
of the Pest Given.

Washington, May Insignificant official
| predictions regarding to the ravages of
the cotton boil weevil are made in a re-
| port written by w. d. Hunter, who has
charge of the chronological part of the
agricultural department. investigation,
in which half a hundred experts are now
engaged.
Mr.. Hunter says that conservative au-
| at present unexpected occur, the pest
will soon cause an increase in the price Of
cotton throughout the world. BY living
within the fruit of the plant the weevil
is well protected from any poisons that
hight be applied; it takes it only fourteen
days for development from egg to adult
and the progeny of single pair in a
season may reach 1874 million individuals;
it adapts itself to climatic conditions and
is remarkably free of parasites and dis
eases. all these facts combining to make
efforts to control it difficult.
The report estimates that the presence
of the weevil practically doubles the area
of land required to produce bale of
cotton, and that the weevil caused the
planters a loss of about sl5,ooo.ooo in 1908.
Assuming 100000 600 as the value of the
normal cotton crop of the country, Mr..
Hunter says the probable ultimate dam
age after the pest has become spread
over the entire belt would approximate
$3.50 100000 annually, provided nothing
Were done to check it. Planters, however,
are adopting changes in methods that
tend to minimize the damage. The report
predicts that the weevil eventually will
be distributed all over the cotton belt, ad-
vaancing into new territory at the rate
of approximately 500 miles a decade, and
says it probably always will be as de-
structive as il has been in the past since
1924. The report suggests that the prob
ability of its being carried to West
Africa or elsewhere abroad is not at all
remote, since in case the seed happens
to be sacked or even shipped in bulk
there is nothing to prevent the weevils
from being carried long distances on
shipboard as they are able to adapt
themselves successfully to climatic con-
ditions. 1t is pointed out. however, that
the danger could be avoided by fumigation
or by leaving the seed sacked in store
rooms isolated from new cotton for
year previous TO shipment.
