AMERICAN INTERESTS.
Assurance That 1t Will Be Pro.
tected in Manchuria.
Russian Troops Are New Being Con-
centrated at the Towns of Lao
Yang and Hai-Cheng and at
Other Places.

Washington, Jan. 16.-What might
misunderstanding between the govern
ments of the United States and Russia
regarding the interest of the United
States in Manchuria was adjusted at 2
conference at the state department Fri
day between MIR. Hay, secretary Of
state. and Count Cassini, Russian am
bassador AS a result the Russian
government will be advised by the
ambassador that he has the best assur-
auces that the interest of the United
States in Manchuria is absolutely and
exclusively commercial and that the
ccnsuls sent to Mukden and Antung
will confine their activities to the
faithful care of American trade inter-
asts in that province.
Count Cassini called at the state de-
nartment Friday to inquire into GER
tain statements in which several Eu-
roDean diplomats had brought to his
attention and interpreted to indicate
change of policy on the part Of the
United States government in the iircc-
zion of political intervention in Man
churia.
The conference between the secrc-
tary and the ambassador was charac-
terized by frank cordially on both
sides. It is said that no matter what
occurs in the far east the United
States will be fully protected in COM
mercial and treaty rights. so far as
Russia is able to act in the affair
Picking, Jan. Let is reported from
consular sources at New-Chwang that

THE JAPANESE REPLY.
1t Amounts to a Denial Of Rus
Sia'S Propositions.
Brig. Gen. n. 7. Allen, u. S. A., Has
Arrived at Picking and Will Join
the Russian Army as An OBJ
server in Event of War.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Mr. Takahira,
called on Secretary Hay and informed
him that the Japanese reply to the last
Russian note had been delivered Thurs
day morning. The reply amounts to
a denial of all the important Russian
propositions and Japan's counter pro-
posals, it is said, are of nature that
almost will certainly make them unac
ceptable to Russia. Therefore a most
pessimistic view of the future is taken
at Toxic.
On the other hand, advices that
come to the state department from
Paris, St. Petersburg and Berlin are all
of pacific character Ambassador Por-
ter, at Paris, cables that pressure is
to be brought to bear on the would-be
belligerents, and particularly on ia
pan by at least two of the great neu-
trail powers to cause Russia and Japan
to come to terms and so avert open
hostilities. The car also is reported
to be extremely DESTROYS of preventing
war Taking these two conflicting sets
of advices into consideration, the Off
cial opinion here is that Japan will
not yield to any such pressure.
The Japanese minister has supplied
the state department an abstract Of
the last Japanese note. Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian ambassador, on his
part, has acquainted the state depart
ment verbally, as is his custom, with
the nature of the Russian note, SO that
the department is fully informed. but
as both these communications have
been made in confidence the officials
do not feel they should make them
public in whole or in part. 1t is stated,
however, that there has been no sub
stantial change in the Japanese prOpO-
sition nor the Russian counter pro-
posal since they we're so lucidly set out
by the press in its semi-oficial dis
patch from Picking last week.
Brig. Gen. H. T. Allen, U. S. A,
chief of the Philippine constabulary,
has arrived at Picking from Manila.
He formerly was military attache at
st. Petersburg and will join the Rus
sian army as an observer in the event
of war

The FIRST SESSION.
The Constitutional Convention Of Pan
ANA Meets.

Panama, Jan. 16.-Members of the
junta and several consular representa-
tives were present Friday at the first
session of the constitutional conven-
ton, which was also attended by a
great crowd of people.
DR.. Pablo Arosemena, temporary
president OF the convention, delivered
the opening address, watch was re-
peatedly interrupted by applause. DR..
Arosemena said:
THE republic will live less by its
material power than by the virtues it
will practice independence must be
maintained and the republic must
adopt without reserve that policy of
probity which is born Of justice and
knowledge"
Representative Burgess proposed that
the convention should send a patriotic
salute to the junta for its distinguished
services to the country. This was
unanimously approved, thus indicating
the cordial relations which exist be-
tween the legislative and the execu-
tive powers.
The message from the JunLa 10 the
convention begins by reviewing the
history of the independence movement
and its causes. The junta formally
resigns legislative powers to the con-
vention and lays before it an account
Of its acts, giving the reasons there
for 1t says that the revenues of tae
republic are insufficient, because the
commercial tax has been cOnsidera-
bly, diminished, owing to the anticipa-
ton Of the changes which the ratifica-
ton of the canal treaty would effect in
the revenue system, and, also, owing
to the inevitable increase in the army
and the navy.
The juDta formally informs the con-
ventiOn of the ratification Of the canal
treaty and says it has powerful rea-
sons for such ratification. The mes
sage goes on to say that the benefits
to be derived from this treaty are in
calculable and that a seed has been
sowed which will grow into tree Of
greatest benefit to posterity and that
this treaty will realize the noble and
high aspirations of the people.

POSTAL TRIALS.
Perry S. Heath Testified in the Ma
cher, Croft and Lorenz Cases.

Washington, Jan. len the trial
Friday of August w. Machen, the Croft
N.others and DR.. and Mrs Lorenz,
charged with conspiracy to defraud the
government, the defense scored an i'm
portant point with respect to the char
acter of evidence to be introduced at
this time by the government. The de-
tense insisted that the government had
not brought forth any documentary ev-
idence showing the existence of a con-
spiracy to defraud the government and
that which was being offered naturally
should follow the evidence Of conspir-
acy so as to specifically connect the
defendants with the various transac-
tons which had been referred to. The
court sustained the point.
At one point in the trial Mr.. Doug
lass, for the defense, called on Justice
Pritchard to reprimand First Assist
ant Postmaster General Wynne for
volunteering the statement that for
mer employee Of the post Office depart
ment recently had been sentenced in
Baltimore to a term of two years in
the penitentiary. The suggestion was
not complied with, but the justice in
structed the jury that their minds
must not be prejudiced by the state
ment of Mr. Wynne.
Perry S. Heath, former assistant
postmaster general, who was subpoe-
naed from his home in Salt Lake City
to state what he knew about the adj
ministration of his Office, was on the
stand during the day.
Former First Assistant Postmaster
General Johnson also gave TESTIMONY
as to the practice Of his Office in the
handling og matter originating in the
