STONE RETURNS FROM RUSSIA.
Tells How the Gear Lifted the Censor
ship-Improved Facilities.

Melville E. Stone, general manager of the
Associated Press, has returned from BUSH
ness trip to Europe, where he met the czar
and the German emperor. AS result Of
his meeting with the ear Mr.. Stone Sc
cured the abolition of the censorship on
dispatches of the Associated Press from
Russia:
II met the car in the Winter Palace at
st. Petersburg said Mr.. Stone yesterday
I'VE had an hours conversation, during
which 1 showed him the reason why l
thought the censorship should be abolished.
l told him that his censorship was ineffec-
tive, in that anything that person wished
to send and which cculi not be sent through
by way of St. Petersburg could be carried
to the German frontier in eighteen hours
and sent over the German wires. l also
told him that the Russian telegraph was
losing the great revenues that were paid
for those messages.
He considered for a moment. and then
said, Your idea is a good one. and i'm
presses me very much. If you will remain
here for a week, / will consider 1t and will
give you my answer
Il told him that l had to go to Germany,
SO he asked me to make a memorandum of
my reasons for abolishing the censorship,
saying that he wished to consider them In
private. That night l again met him at
the grand ball at the palace. Mr. McCor-
mick, our ambassador, was also present,
that he was very favorably impressed with
my proposal and reasoning.
During the next week l was in Germany
and on my return to St. Petersburg
learned that the censorship had been abol-
ished.
Besides that, our representative in that
city can now visit the ministries and get
what news they have there. Formerly only
one of them was open to him.
Mr.. Stone was asked how the first report
of eleven japanese vessels sunk at Port
Arthur. cabled to this country had started.
"A subordinate in the war office" he
said fooled us on that On the morning
of the day which sent out that
cablegram crowd of 500 people was in
the court yard of the ministry clamoring
for news of their relatives with the Russian
fleet at Port Arthur
ITO appease them and to arouse patriot
ism, this subordinate wrote a statement
that eleven Japanese vessels had been sunk
at Port Arthur. and sent the statement to
the military barracks to be read to the SOL
diers. Then he rubbed his hands and
thought what a good joke he had played
while this report was spreading all over the
city and was recognized as official. When
the head of the Office returned denial was
at once sent out, and two hours later the
true news of the conflict was published in
the city"

Fl. Watkins of Scranton, Pa, who was a
member of the anthracite coal strike COM
mission, is in this city. He is in touch
with the conditions that obtain in the
bituminous coal field Asked If he ex-

present strained relations of the operators
and miners of soft coal, he declared
Il do not believe it will come to a clash.
President Mitchell. Vice President Lewis
and Secretary Wilson are unit in advising
the men to accept the reduction, and as
they have the confidence of the miners l
believe their counsel will prevail. 1t is pos
sible another national convention will be
held, but believe the advice of the leaders
will be accepted and strike avoided

The Parliamentary Debate.

The recent parliamentary debate over
this question resembled to remarka BILE
degree similar debate which might take
place in Congress. The same argument,
were used in favor of the exclusion of the
Chinese from British territory as are IA
mil1ar to Americans There was one notice.
ape diHerence. however. and that wGs in
the Doidness of the advocates Few mem
bers of Congress, no matter what their
private opinion might be in regard to the
availability of the Chinaman. would have
me poniieal courage to become his cham
plon. Inc parliamentary opposition to the
introduction of the Chinese into South
AFRICA was based largely upon sentiment
the arguments being the low moral status
or the Cinnamon, the fact that lie came
INTO the colony under contract ana there
fore was more or less the slave OF his en-
ployer and his employment in competition
with British labor which might seek an
outlet in that direction
The advocates of Chinese labor fo,,r, I, r
their argument upon the ecenenic situa-
ton. In comparing the morals of the Cnina-
man with those of the kaffir, against
whom no word has been uttered by The
British labor leaders. the Chinaman ap-
peared rather to advantage. The latter's
well-recognized and persistent industry and
docilIty make him an ideal laboror to 1T
into the conditions which are thoroughly
we'll understood by British capital. The
assertion that the Chinaman would be
brought into competition with British Ia Dor
did not seem well founded. in view of tie
situation since the resumption of work in
the mines for the wages and the charac-
ter of the work de,na nded are not such as
to appeal in the slightest degree 10 the
white workman of civilized nations.
Negotiations are now pending pntveen
the Chinese and the British governments
fer the regulation of labor to be employed
These regula tons will be based upon the
Picking treaty of 1860. in which the general
principle was laid down that the Chinese
government would not place any obstacles
in the way of any Chinese wh) wished to
go to foreign countries to the British
colonies i'm the employ of British subjects,
but that reguia tons between the two gov
ernments would have to be drawn up for
the protection and COMFORT of the en-
grants. China has pro .est1d. however
against steps already taken by English
agents for the wholesale employment of
Cinnamon. these agents having prematurely
entered into agreements with the COM
panies controlling the coolies, prior To the
making of a treaty by .he governments
concerned.

1t will be pity II the supreme
court, which denied the use of the
name Republican" to the men who
have sought to dishonor their party,
should permit the Spooner gang to
make use, as they mean to do, of
"National Republican" for their bolt
ing ticket. Having been fairly beat
en- in court in their fight for the use
of "Republican," the stalwarts now
seek to regain some CT their lost
ground by qualifying the name with
an adjective which to the initiated
only recalls the infamous skulldug-
gerry Of the Chicago committee on
credentials In seating the boiling
U. S. Senators and congressman as
delegates to the national convention,
