 road from Congress Junction to Par. ker, on the Colorado river, will soon be under way.

SUCCESS IS ASSURED.
Midwinter Exposition Can Not
Be Failure.

Indictment weather can have little eff
feet upon the success of the Kansas
Midwinter exposition, which is to be
an entirely indoor show. The rapidity
of the advance sale has shown an in
creased interest in the attractions to
be offered in the Auditorium and has
assured an attendance of $4,000 per-
sons, one-third as many as the total
of the attendance of last years expo
Sition, the success of which was phe-
nolnenal. The excellence of the car
service for patrons of the exposition
will allow rain or snow to make little
difference with the attendance.
No delay has heen allowed to occur
in the preparations for the exposition.
By the hour of opening next Monday
there will he no manifestation OF IN
completeness III the exposition unless
some of the exhibitors shall fail of ar

contingency. Mondays amusement
programme will be as excellent as any
of those of the succeeding days. More
money has been spent upon this fea-
ture of the exposition than before with
the result that the management mas Sc

The Port Arthur correspondent of the
Daily Mail cables that he had had an
interview with Admiral Alexieff, the
Russian viceroy in the far east, who
spoke hopefully of the possibility of
arranging a modus Vivendi with Japan.
The viceroy then referred the cores
pondent to his diplomatic agent, NJ
Planson, who emphasized the impossi-
bility of Russia's evacuation of
Manchuria and said: Orders
were given six months ago
to evacuate Newchwang and Man
churia provided the Chinese would
agree to simple terms but owing to the
intrigues of the Japanese minister with
the Wal Wu Pu these orders were
countermanded."
NJ Plancon declared that the action OF
ciaI treaty with China without Russia's
consent under the existing circumstances
was unfriendly and undiplomatic. Rus
sia, he said, would not open or allow
consuls at Mukden and Antung under
Korea, Russia, NJ. Plancon said, would
not interfere, provided other powers al
lowed 1t, and he added:
Russia did not ask Japan's consent TO
occupy Manchuria, neither was it neces

sion to establish a protectorate on Ko-

the United States and other nations were

The correspondent adds that the action
of the United States had quite upset
Viceroy Alexieff's calculations.
AN ERROR CAUSES ILL-FEELING.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 2G.-The attacks on
Japan in the Russian press are ceasing.
The newspapers here print prominently
reports to the effect that the acute
phase is passing and they continue to as
sert that mediation is unnecessary.
confusion of Olongampo in Subig bay near
Minila, with Yongampho, the Yalu
river, has led the Russian press into a
curious attack on the United States. The
statement that Rear Admiral Evans
squadron was to proceed to Olongampo
was either garbled in transmission or
misunderstood, for it was reported here
that the destination of the American
ships was "Yongampho. This error was
made the basis of an attack on the mo-
tives of the United States by the Novoe
Vryma and Listok, both papers pretend
ing to see in this move the entrance of
the United States into the quarrel. The

WHEAT PASSED 80.
May Option Scored an Advance
of Over Two Cents.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-Just before the
closing of trading today wheat scored a
clean advance of over two cents a bush
ell over the final figures of yesterday.
The price for May wheat touched 80
cents, as compared with S9%@9O, the
closing quotation yesterday. In the last
moment or two of trading today the
price went to 921s @92Ac, the last sale as
the gong sounded was at 921sc.
Grain values on the board of trade con-
tinued to soar today and traders who
Were short on cereals were long on trou-
bles.
Not only did the wheat eclipse the rec
ord established for May yesterday and
achieve a new high mark of 921s09214 c.
but corn and oats, not to lie outdone, at
tracted their share of attention by break
ing records. May corn sold at 505sc early
in the day and oats touched 42ssc.
The high prices in cereals We're all due
to the same general conditions Current
reports are that Armour's holdings in
wheat have -congested the market and
rendered it exceedingly susceptible to
any strengthening influence. Patterns line
of May oats and the holdings of an east
ern group of spectators in corn are said
to have accomplished results in these
grains. In consequence all the markets
are nervous and respond readily to any
upward pressure High prices therefore
do not necessarily indicate an exception

TRUST ISSUE PARAMOUNT.
"On what issues, Mr.. Hearst, do you
think the next democratic campaign
will be fought out?"
1.-The main issue of a party of the
people is to attend to the main busi-
ness before the people.
1.-The universal tendency of to-day is
toward Industrial combination and or
ganization.
"The great issue of the day, there
FORE is the regulation and control of
that tendency to organization in other
words, the trust issue.
I'm a mining region, the chief issue
| is the mining laws. In a cattle coun-
try, the chief issue is the laws affecting
cattle and pasture.
I'm this country of sudden trust de-
velopment, the one dominating issue
made so by the trusts themselves-is
the trust issue.

TARIFF IS TRUSTS FOSTER
MOTHER.
What is your attitude in regard to
the tariff?'
| s1'The tariff is more important today
than ever, because of its vital influence
upon the trust question Mr. Have
never of the sugar trust enlightened the
people usefully when he said: The
tariff is the mother of the trusts
THE tariff is certainly the foster
mother of the trusts, and it can be
used to curb and rule them
The moral principle underlying a
tariff on importations consists in the
willingness of the people to sacrifice
their own interest for the time in order
to promote an industry of which the full
development will benefit all
AN industry fully developed means
labor well paid, increased national
wealth. The tariff represents the peo-
pies willingness to make sacrifice to
give a start to industry, not their will
ingness to put themselves at the mercy
| of any monopoly.
To-day we see industries that have
developed under a tariff system abso-
lutely Indifferent to the public welfare
i These nonopolistic Industries, utterly
devoid of any patriotic interest in the
4 nations welfare, use the tariff to put
the home consumer at a disadvantage

trust, for instance sells for $22 per ton

i terprise fostered by the tariff is a men

it should be deprived of all tariff pro-
lection or benefit For some years the
idea that I have sought to spread

HE ROBBED A CORPSE.
Man With $500 Diamond Con-
fesses He Stole 1t.

Chicago, Jan. 2O.-The municipal
placer mines in the debris removed
from the Iroquois theater are panning
out better than at first expected. Up
to the present an average of over 500
a day has been extracted from the
refuse.
AS far as possible all articles found
are returned to owners, but all loose
money, which it is impossible to iden-
tify, will be applied to the police PEN
sion fund.
Eight more churches and a number
of halls have been closed by the order
of Building Commissioner Williams for
violation of the city ordinance.
The police arrested Frank Uhler, a
printer 10 years old, on a charge of
robbing the dead after the fire in the
Iroquois theater. Uhler attempted to
dispose of a diamond ring valued at
$500, and when taken into custody con-
fessed that he had stolen it from the
hand of a dead man which was hanging
over the edge of a wagon when the load
of corpses was backed up in front Of

day talked for two hours with a cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune. He
talked on general political questions and
especially on matters concerning himself
and the impending Democratic nom1na-
ton for the presidency.
The following interview can be re-
garded as the platform on which he will
make his fight for the nomination and,
if nominated, his fight for the chief
magistracy of the nation, and the Trlb-
une herewith presents it as the views of
a prominent contestant in. the ensuing
battle:
Mr.. Hearst, what do you conceive
to be the attitude of the more conserva-
tive class toward you? How would the
average conservative citizen look upon
your nomination for the presidency
THAT depends upon what you mean
by conservative. replied MI Hearst
For myself, 1 should define conserv-
atism as the preservation of those qual-
tiles rights and principles of proved
value to the American people.
I think that the fundamental Amerl-
can ideas which have developed this
country making its national wealth and
greatness, while fostering the individual
happiness and prosperity of its citizens
should be conserved.
Il am conservative in the sense thai
/ believe in the spirit anu III the le%tc1
of the United States constitution, the
declaration of independence, ana in the
characters and purposes of such men as
washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lin
coin.
PATHS.
Too often, unfortunately those thai
call themselves the conservative ele-
ment are endeavoring to introduce rad,
ical departures from these old conser-
l 1Taln n
views are in conflict with those of any
citizen-however conservative, if his
conservatism takes the form of al
! earnest desire to preserve and perpetu-
ate the original American form of gov
ernment and the liberty, equality, in,
dependence and opportunity guaranteed
under It.
But I am in conflict with those so
| called conservatives that are revertine
to the ideas of former centuries and ol
other nations, seeking to exploit the
mass of the people for their own profit
Such men are reactionary, they are moi
