Washington, Feb. 1S.--Russia's re-
sentiment of the unconcealed friend
ship of the United States government
for Japan is being felt at the state
department. There have been lntlma-
tons, unofficial, but none the less
plain, of the irritation felt at st. Pc
tersburg, and. Secretary Hay fears that
the relations between Russia and the
United States will be tightly drawn
before the war in the east is over, If
nothing worse happens.
AS the first step in commercial re-
taliations, Mr.. Hay has been Informed
that Russia has decided to bar the
recently appointed American consuls
from Dalny, Antung and Mukden, the
ports in Manchuria declared open by
China. What the administration
would do in that event is a matter of
conjecture but the United States is the
one power that has been persistently
driving in wedges to maintain the
open door in Manchuria, and it never
has retreated a foot from it's position
that Manchuria is a part of China.
Wi-ju as Thorn in Cars Side.
The notification from Minister Allen
that Korea has declared Wi-ju an
open port will be another thorn in the
cars side.
The edict Is attributed directly to
the friendly influence of Japan.
coupled with the mikados desire to
create as much unpleasantness as pos
sible between Russia and the neutral
powers. 1t was the fear that Russia
might refuse to permit the establish
ment of an American consulate at
Antung that prompted Mr.. Hay to de-
mand the opening Of Wi-ju. While
England and Japan were urging the
opening Of Yongampho, at the mouth
of the Yalu, Mr.. Hay was focusing all
his energies on Wi-ju, which is 2OO
miles UP the river Whatever may
happen at Antung, the opening OF WI
ju gives the United States the right to
send warships to Wi-ju to pay a
friendly visit to the consulate or pro-
tect it If necessary. Russia prevented
the opening of Wi-ju until the Japan
csc virtually took control of Korea.
An "Tncident" Is Expected.
A consul or commercial agent viii
be appointed at Wi-ju at once.
If the Russians are in control Of
Manchuria when the consuls reach
Dalny, Antung and Mukden, there viii
be a diplomatic incident of some sort
If the Japanese have driven the Rus
slams out of the three towns, there
will be q delay, as the credentials O
the cOnsuls are to the car.
The Japanese maintain that Man
churia is part of China, and the con
suls would need new credentials. I'M
less they were provided with double
set. which would not be surprising.
The possibility of a clash with Rus
STA at Niu-chuang over the reported
women by Russian soldiers is ad
United.
Consul Miller at Niu-chuang
who Is looking after Japanese inter
ests, is cordially disliked by the Rus
slams.

BALDWIN WOULD
DOWN MICKEY
NEBRASKA MUST FIGHT FOR A
DENOMINATION.
Ancient Railroad Feud Has Broken
Out Afresh and Miclxey's Enemies
Would Cast Him Aside, Even as
Was Bailey in Observation-Disclosures
and Harrison Already Brought Out.
Special to Tho JOURNAL.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 1S.-After
short period of peace the ancient Ne
braska railroad feud has broken out
again and the question of Governor
Mickey's denomination depends on the
relative strength of the Burlington
and Union Pacific railroadsin the state
conventions. - = &Es.
John N. Baldwin is credited with
the task of defeating Mickey and rele-
eating him to oblivion after the man
ner of the Bailey episode in Kansas.
To do this his political lieutenants
worked a shrewd maneuver. s-.s
J. B. Dinsmore of Sutton was the
strongest candidate against Mickey
two years ago. Baldwin threw the,
Union Pacific cohorts to the latter and
nominated him. A few days ago the
lieutenants Of the Union Pacific road
went to Dinsmore, pledged him sup
port and told him tales of Mickey's
supposed unpopularity; AS a result,
Mr.. Dinsmore formally entered the
race. His home is in Burlington ter
ritory and his action caused much sur
prise.
The very next day w. H. H. Harri-
son Of Grand Island, state senator and
ardent admirer of Mr.. Baldwin, an
nounced his candidacy. This in. turn
surprised and chagrined Mr.. Dinsmore
for one of the men who had urged him
! to run was Frank Harrison, brother
of the Grand Island man. Then he
realized that he had been used to
| 'break the ice.'' He is still in the
race and his friends say that he will
go before the convention. The trick
Of Baldwin is apparent, however, and
Dinsmore cannot make any inroads
into the Burlington strength in the
South Platte country.
Governor Mickey has gone to work
placating some Of his enemies and has
determined to make an aggressive
fight, His nomination came as a re-
suit of compromise between the rail-
roads, but the truce has been abruptly
broken by the Union Pacific men and
the same old fight is scheduled for the
state convention on May p.

Good Roads.

The Brownlow good roads bill,
pending in congress, looks to $24,-
OOO, 900 appropriation of federal cash
to begin the good roads work. Its
theory is that the government must
give literally for this work. 1t is said
that the bill is urgently backed by the
automobile makers and fanciers, and
they are maintaining an expensive lit
erary and advertising bureau, drum
ming up sentiment to back the bill. So
the farmer is to get good roads by
means of folks in the city, while gol-
den grain belt beer is sold everywhere
to those who appreciate what an ideal
beverage it is, not only because of its
healthful tonic effect,rbut also because
of its suitability to table use. No home
is complete without a case.
