way of the Japs, our British cousins have been
playing the old Russian trick. Recently Lord
Curzon has negotiated a highly favorable treaty
with the Chinese province of Tibet, providing
in fact that Tibet shall enter into no political re-
lations with any foreign State save Great
Britain. With subtle diplomacy, the treaty mere
ly reafirms and guarantees Tibets traditional
policy" as to Great ~Britain-wherea Englands
proposed treaty fourteen years ago proved abor-
tive and has never been put into effect. The So
and has never been put into effect. The So
called TRADITIONAL policy" therefore is really an
entirely new policy and Russia has protested
vigorously against this diplomatic victory of the
British.

More About the War.

Public attention last week was almost entirely
directed from the actual conflict in Manchuria to
the negotiations between English and Russian
Governments in regard to the attack on the
fishermen by the Baltic fleet. There has been fur
Their Commandment of Port Arthur, but there is
no immediate prospect of the surrender of the
fort.
The awful losses in the recent fighting on
the Shake have not vet been fully appreciated
by the general public. In our country Gettysburg
is a synomyon for the terror of war, but the
Federal loss there was only 1908, while the Rus
sian loss on the Shake was 10000.
AS time goes on, it becomes increasingly evil
dent that the differences between the Russian
and japanese armies is not so much a difference
in the individual soldiers as in the systems which
govern the two great fighting machines. The
Japanese officials are animated by the highest
patriotism and have no other ends to serve. OF
the Russian officials, however, a writer in the
November Worlds Work sums up the general
opinion in these serious charges:
"The bureaucracy and the merchants in col
fusion have built up a perfectly organized system
of graft. It is openly recognized, treated with
tolerance, even thought of with respect. Not only
do admirals buying coal in foreign ports pro-
cure receipts for much larger sums than they
have paid, pocketing the difference and dividing
it with their under officers, but no contract is
let at horne which does not allow a liberal margin
for a 'rake-ok.' In this way, Russia has paid for
her railroads two and a half times the amount
which the Minister of Finance estimates as their
by American standards, his estimate
is so per cent higher than the necessary cost.

PENSIONS FOR WORKERS

LONDON, May 2s.-Lord Burnham. in
taking the chair at the annual dinner of the
Newspaper Press Fund at the Hotel Met
ropole. announced a gift of 10000 from
Lady Campbell Clarke, widow of the late
Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph.
His lordship led up to this by a speech in
which he dwelt on the ever-increasing re-
sponsibilties cast upon the journalist He
recalled how twelve years ago he had in
speech endeavored to impress upon his hear
his ideas concerning the onerous nature
of the journalistic calling, in the light
of his intimate and incessant acquaintance
with its duties during a period of forty
years.
AT that time the work of the journalist
was full of grave care and anxiety, and the
lapse of years had only added to the wear
and tear of body and mind.
AS regards journalism, we had Lord
Burnham continued. lived century in
few years. Formerly it was the duty of
the newspaper to present a photograph of
the interesting events within limited area.
Now what was required was a biograph,
with all the vivid incessant movement of
masses of mankind in every part of the
world.
1.-The other day." Lord Burnham added
II turned back to the date of the declara-
ton of war between France and Germany.
/. think il was July 10, 1870 Well, if you
will look back to the papers of the follow
ing morning you will find that in ALL from
every part of the continent and from Amer
lea, you got about two columns of tele-
graphic matter.
Now, compare that with the morning
following the news of the definite outbreak
of hostilities between Russia and Japan.
Why. within a few hours you will find in
the papers six or seven columns of tele-
graphic matter from every part of the
world; you will find accurate maps which
must have been prepared with infinite labor,
and you will find descriptions of the COM
manders Of the two services of both the
powers"
Dean Stanley, talking one evening to a
friend, inquired what was the attitude of
the leader writer. 1t is the attitude of the
crOuching tiger" was the answer. THAT
was apt and 1T was true" said Lord Burn
ham. "A man of great intellect waiting for
subject on which TO expend all the force
of his brain in the attitude of the
crouchIng tiger. But that is not peculiar
TO the attitude of the leader writer alone.
because il is the attitude of all concerned
in the production of newspaper.
In announcing Lady Campbell Clarke s
generous gift, Lord Burnham said that il
was to provide twelve additional pensions,
which are to be known in perpetuity the
Campbell Clarke pensions"

rushed to the rescue of Prince.
Mr.. Roth heard Prince howl and was
soon on his way to the barn. Just as he
turned the corner of the building he was
astonished beyond comprehension to see
Cyclone acting in the position of peace

place his right foot between the two anil

downward with his head and actually
grasped the bulldog with his teeth. He
lifted him upward, thus breaking his hold
on Prince. The bulldog was suspended in
the air for the space of fully minute.
Cyclone then walked a few PAGES to the
left of the scene of battle and dropped him.
The bulldog, terrified by the experience,
began a hasty retreat In the direction OF

 New York, April 19.-At a meeting of the Finance Committee of the Unit ed States Steel Corporation, a definite proposition from the Crucible Steel Company looking to the purchase of the Clairton Steel Company, by the United States Steel Corporation was considered.
 The terms of the probable purchase of the Clairton Company are substan- tially:
 The stock of the Clarion Company will be wiped out. The United States Steel Corporation will guarantee the interests on the Clarion bonds. the amount of which will not be increas- ed. The Crucible Steel Company will pay the interest on the $5.000,000 six per cent. short term notes issued some time ago by the Clarion Com pany. The Crucible Company will get about $1,- O0O.0O0 (presumably par value) of United States Steel 5 per cent. sinking fund bonds and will take fixed quantity of billets from the Steel Cor poration. It is expected that the deal will involve scarcely no cash outlayl As an official of the Steel Corporation put it:

ARBITRATION WITH FRANCE.
Senators Sounded Regarding the Pro-
 posed Treaty.

Washington, April 1s.-The administra- tion has been quietly prosecuting the irl- quiries instituted some time ago to ascer- tain the prospects of the successful treat ment by Congress of an arbitration treaty with France.
 So far these inquiries have not develop ed any considerable interest provided the treaty does not involve in any degree the integrity of the Monroe doctrine. But it also has developed that there is a notable apathy among Senators who would be required to pass upon the treaty that has convinced the President that 1t IS not feasible to secure action by Con- gress upon any such treaty during the present session. However, it is the present intention to take the matter up again next session and probably there will be few exchanges between Secre- tary Hay and Nj. Jusserand, the French Ambassador to outline the basis of the proposed treaty.
 It Is stated that particular care will be taken that nothing in the convention will involve enforced arbitration: any case submitted to the arbitration com nitete must be purely voluntary on both sides. -.
 It is further stated that the United States Government has been indirectly sounded by other governments than that of France with view to the negotiation of arbitration treaties and in the proposed France-American treaty succeeds 1t will be the rorerunner of several others.
