"cHINEsE NEUTRALITY VOID"

in Strong Editorial.

III SAiSilS
The Novosti, St. Petersburg neWspa'
PEI, says edit9rially;
Continued violation OF the neutral
ity laws in Chinese ports by the Japan
csc will compel Russia to regard the
Chinese empire, or at least that part
thereof, as being within the sphere Of
active hostilities.
China lacks either the power or
the inclination to prevent Japanese in
cursions. The warships OF neutral
powers idly watch these violations.
Therefore, the agreement as to Chi
mas neutrality made at the beginning
of the war, becomes dead letter, and
Russia must ignore it in self-defense. ="

Roads Refuse to Lower Rates.


The railroads entering Atlanta have
all refused to comply with the rulinG
of the state railroad commission that
freight rates from Ohio river crossings
to Atlanta be put on an equitable ba-
sis as compared with rates to other
southern cities.
This action of the railroads was for
nal and deliberate, taking the form
of written letters to the commission.
1t is now the general opinion that
a big legal fight has been precipitated.
The railroads will not yield to the
contentious of the Atlanta freight bu-
reau and the Atlanta merchants until
every resource provided by law has
been exhausted in opposition, while,
on the other hand, those who have
been fighting Atlanta's battles will, it
is considered certain, be equally as
persistent in their stand.
This, it is thought, will bring the
matter before the interstate commerce
commission and into the federal courts
both the interstate rates and the
interstate rates being made the sub
iect mater of bitterly confessed liti-
cation

was out of luck. out of money. out of

Red Wings fame, which of course is
a great big splash to those who claim

that of Mississippi pearls, says the

Pearl buying is a science. Not only
must man be an accurate judge OF

shade of color and degree of round

thousand-dollar estimate of the clam

Shoot is the Fea-
Iure.

A new king and queen will be
crowned today at Huber's garden at
the annual bird shoot and children
picnic of the Plattdeutschen Schwes-
tern.
1t is an outing provided for the
young folks marking the close of their
school work for the term. They are
the children of the members of the
Schwcstern. and the mothers have
charge of the picnic.
The children and their mothers
marched from Turner hall this morn
ing following Second avenue from
Sixteenth to Twentieth streets, thence
south To Fifth avenue. and east to the
garden. They were led by Bleucr's
band.

At the head of the procession in
improvised chariots, garlanded with
flags and flowers. rode the king and
queen of last years shoot, Master
Franck, son of Claus Franck, and
Miss Eckcrmann, the daughter of Will
liam Eckermann. There were $50
boys ami girls i'll line. The girls came
first. marching three abreast, two
larger ones bearing a floral arch I'M
der which walked a smaller girl, all
nattily attired in white dresses. The
boys walked two abreast and each
bore a decorated cane.
The bird shoot is a custom brought
from the fatherland, where it is made
one of the important festivals of the
spring. While the celebrations in this
country are not on such large scale.
owing to lack of numbers, still they
are entered into with the same en-
thusiastic spirit. and each year grow
more interesting.
Keen Rivalry at the Target.
The shooting feature creates keen
rivalry among the children, all of
whom are expected to compete There
are two contests, one each for the
boys ana girls. y target. having q

off the head of the bird are declared

turbed by Deneen.

Gov. Richard Yates has. rewarded
the leader Of his cause in Rock Island
county in the recent campaign for the
nomination for chief executive or the
state by appointing Charles J. Searle
a member of the Illinois board OF
claims, succeeding J. f. Mcclure, OF
CarIinville, who resigned some time
ago to accept the position of commits
sioncr of the Southern penitentiary
The appointment was announced last
evening.
Mr.. SearIc has been in Chicago TAX
ing in the national republican conven-
lion. and will not return home until to-
morrow. but from a source that can
he accepted as reliable it is learned
that he will accept the plum rendered
him. and that there is a further I'M
Outstanding that he is not to be dis
turhcd in the event that Deneen sue
cecds to the governorship next fall.
Gives Up state job Recently.
The appointment has come to Mr..
ScarIe without any wirc-pulling, it is
claimed. II will be remembered that
some few months ago he resigned as
president Of the board Of trustees OF
the Macomb Normal school, giving as
his reason that it seriously interfered
with him private practice at home. The
school was completed and in running
order and he felt he had fulfilled his
duty to- his state.
Membership in the board of claims
IS worth about $500 per year. But
one meeting is held each year. 1t
continues about six weeks. The board
passes On all claims that are filed
against the state and reports them
back with recommendations to the
general assembly. The court con
vcnes at Springfield on the third Mon
day of each August.
Yates Controls Outside Cook.
Since the recent convention at
Springfield there has been any amount
of evidence to- show that there is
compact between the governor and
DcnCen. the effect of which is that
Yates is To remain in control of the
patronage outside Cook county. De

hfbit is a Moki theatre. Like all the
simple folk OF the desert, the Mokis
have their inspiration which they act
out in a series of plays and other forms
of theatrical entertainment. and they
conclude these with the most remark
able of all exhibitions, the famous
snake dance in which a number OF
medicine men and chiefs take part in
the portrayal of this wonderful cere-
mony. the unparalleled pageant or the
Pueblo Indians of Tusayan, Ariz, TO
see the original of which would take
the ordinary traveller thousands OF
miles from his home and compel the
expenditure of thousands OF dollars.
The Indians here do not use any
make-believe snakes, but the actual
serpents, which they handle with a
freedom calculated to chill the blood
o fthe Caucasian. These Venomous
serpents have a deep significance for
these aborigines. This dance takes
place in the desert country of New
Mexico, on the 25th of August, and
continues until the precise moment
when the medicine men can predict
with unfailing certainty the annual
rainfall of the region. How these wiz
ards of the sky, by their wierd incanta-
tions. draw the water of the clouds
down to earth can be well understood
when the ceremony itself is witnessed.
as is here shown in the cliff jewellers.
They are a handsome race of clean
limbed savages, who. far above any
other abOrigines, testify by their very
demeanor an ancestry that stretches
as far. if not farther than the Egyp-
tians mentioned in the sacred writings.
For educational associations that have
come to the worlds fair. the cliff dwell
ers exhibit has proven absolutely
unique. The children among the
tribes are a source of never ending
entert ainment TO old and young alike.
The boys and girls watch with faSci-
nation the war dances of the MOkis,
and people of mature minds are lost
in admiration in contemplating the
handicrafts of these wonderful saw
ages. Their dwellings, are open for
inspection at all times. and as they are
built one above the other hundreds of
feet from the ground. we are struck
by the fact that no matter what the
surroundings may be, human nature
has maintained its sameness from cen
fury to century back to the dawn of
time.

Both national parties are now sound on
the gold-standard question, but it has not
been long since both were equally unsound
in doctrine, with the practice best on the
Democratic side.
1t may be recalled, for instance, that III
1888 the national Republican convention de
nounced President Cleveland for his efforts
to demonetIze silver"
According to the New York Evening FoSf
"Mr. Roosevelt was for that declaration
then, though, to hear him now, you would
think him an advocate of the single gold
standard since before the world was created.
The Sherman Silver Purchase law of lS'D
was the work of the party now i'll power,
and that law created the silver panic which
President Cleveland arrested only by an act
of repeal carried by Democratic votes III the
House and Senate.
Both parties were wandering on the ques-
ton of a standard as late as lS!6, and both
have now reformed '-Baltimor SIM.
That statement is clear, and it is true.
In the interest of independent I'M
partially, especially in the interest OF
the truth, it should be kept before the
