hurled him clear to the curbing of the

ment that If any foreign power makes
a demonstration for the settlement Of
Gains against the Dominican govern
ment, he, through the United States
war vessels will assume charge Of all
custom houses of the Dominican gov
eminent and have them guarded by
United States marines. This. il is
stated is in order to insure priority
for the claims of citizens of the Unit

recent decisions of the Hague arbitra-

HEARST MAN
HAS BACKING OF MAHON.
ING COUNTY
STARK COUNTY CROWD
May Have Something to
Saw in the Contest.

Youngstown, April 18.-The result
Of the Democratic primaries here for
the selection of delegates to the con
gressional convention at Alliance is
that Thomas Mcnamara, jr., a candi-
dte for delegate to the national con
vention from this country, win have
a solid dele cation.
Mcnamara 10 regarded as Hearst
man and his securing the entire dele.
CATION in Mahoning county is regard.
ed as victory for the man from New
York. Whether or not Mcnamara
will have strength enough from Co.
lumbiana or Stark to land him as one
Of the delegates to the national con-
vention remains to be seen.
Canton Democrats do not think that
the statements of the special dispatch
give McNamara's real position, as he
is not thought to be Hearst man
Mahoning is the smallest county in
the district and both Stark and Co
lumbiana will have candidates. Frank
Weybrecht of Alliance, is said to as
pire to the place and Al Carlisle OF
Salem, is also after the honor. There
is a possibility that the delegations
from Stark and Columbiana may di
vide on the Hearst-Parker question
and thus prevent united action in the
convention which meets in Alliance
May 6. 1t is understood that the coun
ty which furnishes the congressional a.
candidate will not ask for delegate
also, so that each of the two remaining
counties would be given one.

AGREEMENT
BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN
AND RUSSIA
NOT AN IMP0SSIBILITY
Such is the Belief at St.
Petersburg.

st. Petersburg, April 19.-Uondon
4 Iimes.)IThe newspaper Russ cordial
ly welcomes the Anglo-Freneh agree
ment, and is ready to believe an agree
ment of similar nature between Great
Britain and Russia is not beyond the
bounds OF possibility. The paper even
makes an attempt to sketch the lines
such an agreement would follow:
-aking as model the Anglo
French agreement and applying its
fundamental principles to the interests
OF Russia and England, we find along
the line from Lhassa to the Bosphorus
that 1t Is indisputanly important that
England obtain guaranty Of secur-
ity in India and Russia is equally in
need of outlets to the southern seas.
ITO secure the safety of India, the
English will demand certain guarantys
on its northern and western frontiers.
II is particularly important to Eng
land to have our assurance that we
will not interfere in Afghanistan. We
for our part, have no immediate in
terest I'm India which for us is a
means and not an end. Our tasks do
not lie in the direction of expansion,
but we are bound to secure for our
selves an outlet to the sesa.
For England, however, their pol
icy of refusing us admission to these
seas is not 80 much direct end as a
means of guarding against any danger
our presence might constitute to their
communications to India"
The Russ considers the idea of an
agreement along these lines by nc
means too daring, once the principle
Of frank recognition of the predomi-
mating interests of the negotiating
parties is permitted to operate freely,

RUSSIANS
Not Outnumbered al
Port Arthur.

Toxic, April19.-(London Times)-
The Korio Maru, the vessel which laid
the mines at the entrance to Port
Arthur harbor on the night of April
IL, is new torpedo transport Of twen-
ty seven hundred tons. Captain oda.
who directed the operations of laying
the mines, was decorated recently for
the invention Of a process which is
said to greatly increase the efficiency
Of such instruments.
The Japanese squadron at Port Ar
thur April 13 consisted of six battle
ships, two first class cruisers and
four second class cruisers. The Rus
SLAMS had five battleships, two first
class cruisers and one second class
cruiser.
The disparity in force therefore was
by no means so great as Russian ac-
counts indicate, and certainly did not
warrant the Russians precipitate re-
treat.

DIETRICH INQUIRY.
Senator From Nebraska on
Stand In Own Defense.
DENIES BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION
Said That Directly OF Indirectly He
Had Never Received "A Cent For
Any Appointment He Had Made,
Nor Did He Expect To.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-At the
Dietrich inquiry in the senate Senator
Dietrich took the stand and at his re-
quest was sworn, although Chairman
Hoar stated that the practice Of the
senate had been not to swear a senator
on the theory that all senators had
equal rights in that body. In reply
TO Senator Hoar he first reviewed his
election as governor and senator and
then, in answer to Senator Hoar, said,
II have never received a cent for the
appointment of Jacob Fisher as post
MASTER" Then the senator told OF his
relation with Jacob Fisher and how he
came to recommend him for postmas-
ter instead of appointing him oil in
spector.
Senator Dietrich stated that while he
was governor he had made Il contract
with the ~postoffice department for the
rent of the Dietrich building at $1,S00.
This contract was made with Postmas-
ter General Smith. He heard of pro-
tests regarding the rent to be paid and
told Jacob Fisher that he would take
81, 300 for the building, although he
felt that he ought not to pay for the
fixtures. Mr.. Fisher responded that he
would pay for the fixtures. Mr.. Diet
rich declared that Jacob Fisher would
hove been postmaster no matter where
the p~ostoffice might have been located.
He denied that the deed of the post
office property was made to his daugh-
ter SO that he could lease his building
to the government.
IN reply to a question from Senator
Hoar Mr.. Dietrich said that never, d.
rectly or indirectly, had the question of
money been suggested to any candidate
or applicant for any position while he
was governor or senator and said he
had never received, directly or indl-
rectly, a cent for any appointment he
had made, nor had he ever expected a
cent from any one SO appointed. He
said that when the money that had
been received by his daughter from
| Jacob Fisher for the rent of the back
room was returned to Fisher and Fran
| els that he (the senator) paid the
amount, his daughters account at the
bank being overdrawn.
Senator Dietrich denied having had
a conversation with Fisher in which
the subject of paying $4,000 for
Thompson's expenses came up.

CITY OFFICIALS WITHOUT BONDS.

Ten weeks have now passed since
the terms OF several of the city offici-
ais expired and as yet no appointments
have been made. The Evening News
called attention to this matter a few
DAYS ago but since then the real seri-
business OF the present state OF affairs
has been forcibly brought out and we
wonder how long the aldermen think
the people will stand for such dilatory
methods.
The terms of the three city officials
who handle all the city's money ex-
pired January first. They are the city
treasurer, Garrett Brodbead; collector
Of revenue, Conrad F. Hall, and city
clerk, John f. Rielley. The persons
holding these offices are required to
give bonds for the protection of the
city's Interests. The bonds of these
men expired with their terms. These

yer until the new appointments are
made. In the meantime they are
under no bonds whatever. OF course
the city does not for a moment think
any Of them is likely to disappear
with the city funds, not one would now
be holding Office if there was the
slightest suipicion, nevertheless the
fact romans that the clause in the city
charter which reads as follows, is be-
ing violated:
"And be it enacted that tn" city
clerk, { cas- r collector of ravei u Ind
such other officers as tho council may
require shall, before they enter on the
duties of their Office, give bonds to
tho city"
The city cannot req uire bonds OF
these officials until they are appointed,
