SHOOK TO RUSSIANS.
New Treaties e Body Blow for tho
 Cxar'g Government.

Czar'B Government.
 London, Jan. 14.-AlI the morning papers have editorials which attach great importance to the ratification of the com mercial treaties between the United states and China and between Japan and China.
 The consensus of opinion in these editorials in that the ratification of the treaties implies an act of sovereignty by China equivalent to a declaration that Russia's occupation of Manchuria is only temporary and for specific purposes. The pro-Japanese Morning Post says:
 ''That is precisely the point for which Japan has been contending and which Russia declined to discuss with her. Ja- pan is now in the advantageous position to champion a cause which Is also that of the United States"
 The Daily Telegraph says that Japan is naturally proud of being in measure the champion of Western rights in the far East.
 The Daily News thinks that China has displayed omlnous courage in her recent diplomacy which will make for peace owing to the tremendous hazards which war, under the present conditions. would involve.
 Some importance is attached to the un- usually long conference between Foreign Minister Lansdowne and Count Behcken- dorff, the Russian Ambassador, last even- ing. The Ambassador arrived at the For eiRn office after the usual reception and remained an hour and twenty minutes The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Paris edition of The New York Herald and the special cablegrams from other correspondents ct the Russian capital say that the opinion Is held that the ratihea- ton of the Japanese and American treaties came as a shock to the Russian Foreign OfIice.
 TN.N says that Japan's last note ts couched in the most courteous language% Ft that it reafiirms absolutely and unS vocaliy Japan's inability to accept RusS 5 pro- pOsals either as regards Korea ol Man ehuria

Aldrich and Carmack.

Aldrich of Rhode Island. when Carmack had finished his speech in the Senate to- day, tried one of his old tricks Of denn- erately misstating the position or ms political opponent. He said, with the air of crushing the effect of the speech with one word. that Carmack had shown that he was opposed to any canal.
 The Tennessee Senator. who was about to leave the chamber. in answer to card from a visitor. turned and confront" ed Aldrich, attempting courteously to cor rect him. Carmack was at last so pro- voked by the persistent misrepresenta- tions fthe Rhode Island Senator 10 say to his this: 'The Senator from Rhode Island knows he says that said what he knows did not say
 Aldrich wabbled and lodged and finally admitted that Carmack only preferred the Nicaragua route, the latter contending that he was for a canal, but for the law first.

axoN PLANS.
Powers May Kake Effort to Prevent
 War

Paris. Jan. 1s.--No action has yet teen taken in the direction of mediation be- tween Russia and Japan, but 1t Is learned that the powers desirous of peace in the far east are considering the desirability of such a step. Whether the proposed action will be joint or independent re- maihs to be determined. Thus. far the representa- which Great Britain has made to Japan and which France has made to Russia have been in the way of advice that some pacific means be found for terminating the dispute rather than in the direction of mediation.
 It was stated positively today that no representation of a mediatory character had yet been submitted, nor was it ex- pected that anything of the kind would be done until after the contents of the Japanese reply to the latest Russian note had become known. There seems no doubt that such step will be permissible without giving offense to either disputant under the terms of The Hague Conven- ton to which Japan as well as Russia was a stgner,
