URGE WAR ON CHINA
Cars Advisers See Panama Canal rs
Check for Russia.

st. Petersburg, April 1.-The car
is being strongly urged by his minis
tiers to declare war against China.
Even the Russian ambassador to Pc
king, who, prior to the outbreak of
the present war, was friendly to the
Chinese government, is beseech1ng the
Russian ruler to take up arms against
the Monaghan race.
It is taken for granted In political
circles here that in the very near flu
ture war will be declared between the
two countries.
The plan which in this eventuality
will be carried out by Russia is de-
scribed in military spheres here as fol-
lows:
Picking, Tientsin, Tung Chow and
Mongolia would be annexed to Russia
on the one hand and the war would
be suddenly changed into great
struggle between the yellow and the
white races on the other, Russia be-
coming the authorized champion OF
the latter.
The chief advisers Of his majesty are
said to hold that unless by measures
Of this kind the over-sea trade Of Chi
ma be monopolized by Russia, the op-
portunity will slip by forever, because
once the Panama canal has been com
pIeted, the United States, as the great
Pacific power, will resolutely veto
every effort to seize the commercial
markets Of China by means of terri

MURDER MANIA
IN MISSISSIPPI
County Jails Filled to Overflow.
ing-Murderers Crowd Out
Minor Felons.

Jackson, Miss, April 1.-THE MUIR
der mania did not manifest itself quite
so strongly in Mississippi during the
past week as compared with similar
periods since the first Of the year.
Only seven killings were reported
six shooting affairs which did not
have fatal results. This is an exceed
ingly poor showing as compared with
some weeks in which from fifteen to
twenty killings were reported.
Yazoo county is again coming to
the front with a carnival Of crime.
Ten days ago the Jail of that county
was vacant, the circuit court session
having disposed Of all the prisoners on
hand, but within the last few days
four persons charged with murder and
several charged with assault with in
tent to kill have been landed behind
the bars.
From all parts of the state come
complaints Of county jails filled to
overlooking awaiting the circuit court
sessions, and in some counties It has
been necessary to release minor felons
on their own recognizance In order to
make room for prisoners charged with
| capital offenses.
| The expense of a trial for one MUIR
derer was saved in Yazoo county last
week by a deputy sheriff who had
been sent to arrest negro named
Stuckey, who was indicted by the
recent grand jury. The negro re-
fused to surrender and attempted tc
assault the officer with an ak, where.
upon the latter shot him thru the
heart.
Pike county added the eleventh
murder to it's list for a period of five
months when negro named Drum
Brumfield killed another negro in tina
county with a shovel one day las
week. The epidemic Of crime ha!
spread to such an alarming extern
that its proportions cannot be con
cealed. The majority Of the murder
have been among the negroes. A rec
ord of over $50 murders within three
months is what has been accomplished
in this state. =

FORTY WARSHIPS
TO MEET AT SUEz
Combined Fleets Of United States
Ordered to Appear Be-
fore Turkey.

Washington, April 11.-Forty YES
sells, constituting the most powerful
fleet of American warships ever seen
In foreign waters, will assemble in
the Mediterranean this summer. The
principal reason for sending such O
large fleet to Europe is a secret close
~ guarded.
The president desires to make good
his threat to the Sultan of Turkey at
the time the American. warships were
withdrawn from Turkish waters at the
sultan's request, after the Alexan-
dretta incident. Mr.. Roosevelt then
notified the sultan that the naval
force would return in greater strength
If some diplomatic differences with
Turkey, which are still pending, were
not quickly settled. ....-
It Is evidently intended to make the
naval display as formidable as pos
sible. The South Atlantic squadron,
in command of Rear Admiral Chad
wick, will be sent to Madagascar and
of the Mediterranean and the Suez
canal, instead Of by the southern
route.
Admiral Chadwick will sail from
Pensacola about April 25 on the flag
ship Brooklyn. His other ships will
be the Atlanta, Castine and Marietta.
The squadron will return by the
6oulheIh .TouIe, SoiiipielIHS IiAS CitSAS
of Africa.
The battleship squadron Of the
North Atlantic fleet and the European
squadron will sail from Pensacola
about May i, and probably will travel
together part Of the way across. The
Illinois will follow as soon as her
repairs are finished.
The European squadron will include
the Olympia, Cleveland, Baltimore
and Des Moines. The Mayflower will
accompany the battleship fleet as ten
der, and three GOLFERS, the Sterling
Abarenda and Lebanon, will be taker
along.
One or both Of the supply ships
Culgoa and Glacier will carry stores
for the combined squadrons.

ton between Interstate carriers en-
gagged in business in such state. If
Minnesota may, by an original suit in
its name, invoke the jurisdiction Of the
circuit court because alone of the al
legged remote and indirect injury to it's
proprietary interests arising from the
mere absence Of free competition in
trade and commerce as carried on by
interstate carriers within its limits,
then every state upon like grounds
may maintain, in its name, in cir
cult court of the United States a suit
against interstate carriers engaged in
business within their respective
limits"
The court also refused to hold that
Minnesota's dignity Or rights us n
state would be affected under article
". of the federal constitution by per-
hitting the stock of corporate ns of
that state to be held by an outside
corporatitn like the Securities COM
pany. Justice Harlan said the court
did not think that the article OF the
constitution had any bearing whatever
on the quest: on, adding:
1T only prescribes a rule by which
courts, federal and state, are to be
guided when question arises in the
progress of a pending suit as to the
faith and credit to be given by the
court to the public acts, records and
1udlclal proceedings OF STATE otner
than that in which the court is Sit
ting" He said in conclusions:
For the reasons stated, we are of
opinion that the suit does MOTTO use
the words of the act Of 1875-really
and substantially involve a dispute or
controversy within the jurisdiction of
the circuit court for the purpose of a
final decree. That being the case the
circuit court, following the mandate of
the statute, should not have proceeded
therein, but should have remanded the
case to the state court.
The decree of the circuit court is
reversed and the case is sent back
with directions that it be remanded to
the state court.
The opinion Of the court was
unanimous.
