About sixty productions, nearly
every one Of them f1rst-class, will now
be conducted under the auspices Of
the combination, while virtually every
attraction Of enough Importance to
arouse attention even in a. one-night
stand Of consequence must be. routed
thru the offices Of the new organiza-
ton.
The new trust embraces the inter-
ests Of the Frohmans, Klaw & Err
LANCER, Nixon & Zimmerman, Rich &
Harris, Lift & Dingwall, AL Hayman,
and Stair & Havlin. It took Ding
wall year to bring 1t about, but he
succeeded.
Recently A. w. Dingwall has been
manager of Lifts Broadway theater.
| At one time he was manager of NC
Vickers theater in Chicago, and, prior
to that, was associated with Mr.. Lift
in the management Of his theaters in
Minneapolis and st. Paul, where, as
SANDY Dingwall, he practically had
his start in the theatrical business.

MILES OF DEAD FISH
SHOAL OF HERRING DRIVEN
INTO THE ENTRANCE TO MANA
mo HARBOR By DOG FISH.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Seattle, Wash, Feb. 5.-For the
third time in month a shoal OF her-
ring crowded into the narrow en-
trance to Nanaimo harbor, on Van
couver island, and literally smothered
to death. The waters of the harbor
were inadequate to support the
seething mass of fish, and for several
miles along the shore the bottom of
the harbor is covered to depth Of
three feet with dead bodies of the
herring, and the tide leaves the beach
white as it recedes
The phenomenon is considered most
remarkable It is a mystery why the
first and third shoals of fish entered
the harbor, but it is known that the
second shoal was herded in by dog
fish. lust as a dog herds sheep. The
larger fish We're preylng on the
smaller.
So thick do the herring become in
the harbor at times that fishing boats
are literally lifted out of the water.

be one of the dominant planks in the
national democratic platform this
year-a demand that the United
States shall be as potent financially,
economically and industrially as the
Monroe doctrine is politically. This
speech commanded the applause of
the democratic side, and the thoughts
which it suggested have received seri-
Gus consideration at the hands of the
democratic leaders.
Mr.. Lind's speech was in part an
amplification Of the speech which he
delivered In the middle Of December,
advocating reciprocity with Canada,
and which was cordially Endorsed by
John Sharp Williams, the leader Of
the minority. The fact that Mr.. Will
liams has been able to bring the solid
south over to his position In favor
Of reciprocity with Canada, and with
the whole world, for that matter,
shows that public sentiment in that
section is broadening and growing
more intelligent. With the promise

Gated by Blaine, and emphasized by
Mckinley in his last public address,
Mr.. Lind takes the ground that as
the Monroe doctrine includes the
whole American continent, American
trade should be equally extensive
Trade follows lines of longitude. not
of latitude, and has done so since
the dawn of history. The peoples OF
different American ATTITUDES, produc.

artificial tariff barriers will long be

result.

REPLY SENT EAST !,
Russia Regards Japanese Demands as
Unreasonable. Ss3ssfs.7l


st. Petersburg, Feb. 5.-The Rus
sian reply to Japan has been for
warded to Viceroy Alexieff. If he ap-;
proves it will finally reach the Toxic
government on Monday.
The feeling in the higher circles
continues to be that Russia has Of
fered substantial concessions, but that
she cannot meet Japan's wishes re-
garding Manchuria or agree to Japan
csc Notifications in southern Korea.
1t is intimated in unofficial quarters
that if Japan should offer a counter
proposal that Russia guarantee Chi
mas Manchurian treaties, irrespective
of the ultimate sovereignty Of the pro-
vince, there might be chance OF
compromise.
It is argued that this settlement
would safeguard the existing CONNER
cial interests Of all the powers in Man
churia, and it is contended that if
Japan demands more this would re-
veal her Interior ambitions which
| would be inimical to the interests of
! not only Russia, but of the very pow
ers which now sympathize with Japan.
| Russia will not declare war, nor be-
| gin hostile action If the negotiations
/ break down. Russia will remain
| quiescent until attacked.

ELlHU ROOT

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
washington. Feb. 5.-The New
York Tribune this morning, in a first
page article, notes a strong sentiment
in that state favoring the nomination
of Elihu Root for governor if he will
have it. This sentiment has crystal
lied since Roots eloquent address on
Roosevelt before the Union League.
The Tribune also says Root will go
as a delegate to the Chicago conven-
ton and probably make the speech
nominating Roosevelt. The delegates
at large, who will be selected by early
March, probably will be Senators De-
pew and Plat, Governor Odell and
former Governor Black.

Williams believes that 1t can be
worked out. Mr.. Lind stands by him.
They would have the democratic CON
vention at ST. Louis adopt plat
form demanding the reservation of
American trade for American nations,
and a system of reciprocity arrange
ments shutting Europe out Of South
and Central America and Canada.
This is the ground which the re-
publican party has for years been
pledged to occupy, but which it has
not occupied, owing to the strong in
f1uence Of certain high-protected. IN
dustries in the New England and other
eastern states. If the democratic
party should declare in st. Louis along
the lines of the Lind speech, it would
put the republican party on the de-
fensive In nearly one-half of the north
ern states. more especially those OF
the middle west.
