RUSSIAN DOUBLE DEALING.

Actuated by a consciousness of right,
and the instinct of self preservation, lit
tie Japan is going forward with her
preparations for a final struggle with
the Bear, knowing that it must come
sooner or later
In 1858, China then being engrossed
with the TAPPING rebellion, Russia, I'M
der pretense of a ''rectification OF the
frontier compelled cession of the Chi
nese territory north of the Amur river.
In 1860, the allied French and English
forces being in Pekin, Russia wrested
from China by treaty the Manchurian
coast line between the Ussuri river and
the ocean. In 1896, by the so-caned
Cassini convention, Russia obtained the
right to extend the Siberian railroad
through Manchuria. In 1895, Russia,
Germany, and France. in a collective
note, advised" the japanese govern
ment to surrender back to China Port
Arthur and the Liao-tung peninsula,
eeded to Japan by the treaty of Shi-
monoseki. In 1893 Russia, the hold of
Japan being Ioosed, secured lease of
Port Arthur and the peninsula. In 1900
China again in trouble through the
Boxers, Russia occupied Manchuria. In
1903 it became clear to the world, and
especially to Japan, that Russian de-
signs extended also to and over Corea.
Such is the record of the steady Rus
sian advance in Eastern Asia. The
frontier has never been moved back, al
though most plentiful assurances have
been given of absence of intention to
acquire additional territory. To go no
farther back than the Japo-Chinese war,
we find in 1898. a solemn pledge that
the occupation of Port Arthur was only
temporary, to secure a harbor for the
wintering of the Russian fleet, and that
both it and its companion, Talienwan,
should be free to foreign commerce.
April 9, 1902, the Manehuriau conven-
/ ton was signed under which Russia
agreed gradually to evacuate ManchuI
ria and to complete the process within
| eighteen months. AS often as suspicion
was cast on Russian good faith, the
Russian foreign department promised to
withdraw Yet the work of terrifying
has steadily gone on and it is now ad-
rnitted that Manchuria is as Russian
as is Siberia. Indeed, so accepted is this
possession, that the present crisis is not
over Manchuria, but is due to the
Corean situation-the little disguised at
tempt of Russia to seize the Corean port
] of Yongampho.

Papers Printing False Reports
Refuse to Correct Them.

A signed statement from a number
of Nemaha county Republicans has
been sent to the Kansas City Journal
and the Topeka Capital, which publish
ed untrue reports of the meeting of the
county central committee in that cOun-
ty last Saturday, correcting the state
ments made in the account which those
papers published. AS the signed state
ment has not been published by either
of the papers mentioned it has also
been given to other papers. 1t is as
follows:
Believing that you wish to print only
the truth, and seeing the false report of
the meeting of the Nemaha county
Republican central committee in your
paper, we give you the following state
ment as to the meeting:
The meeting was called to order by
J. P. Stevenson, chairman of the com
mittee, at about o'clock on the 10Th.
On roll call of members, the first proxy
to be offered was that held by Judge
R. NJ. Emery, a Curtis supporter, from
a member in a different voting pre-
cinct than his own, and the same was
allowed without objection When other
proxies ere offered, on the objection
of George W. Hook they were passed
until the roll call was finished. The
proxy of William Baird to C. Z. Rod
bins, dated December Z, was offered,
as was also the proxy of Baird to Ell
Cox, dated December u, which espec-
tally revoked and recalled the proxy
to Robbins, dated the 18th.
Judge Emery, although himself hold
ing a proxy from member in dill
ferent voting precinct than his own,
objected to the proxy to Cox, because
Cox did not live in Baird's voting pre-
cinct Hook made a motion to seat
Robbins on the revoked proxy. A vote
was taken, several members not vot-
ing. and it stood to s. A motion was
than made to seat Cox on the proxy
held by him and Cox was seated
George P. Hayden had been given
two proxies, but voted only the proxy
from the member of his own voting
precinct There were % members pres
ent and represented. of which the
Curtis followers. with their proxies.
held seven votes.
On motion county convention was
called for the 2sth of January for the
selection of congressional state and
senatorial delegates. The committee
adjourned after being in session about
one hour
Governor Bailey was present in the
audience. but took no part in the pro-
ceedings, and did not ask that the COM
mittee select the congressional dele
gates or any other delegates, and that
question was never before the COM
mittee.
The Curtis followers moved that sep
arate conventions be held for the Selec-
ton of congressional. state and sena-
torial delegates. In support of this mo-
ton they could muster but seven votes.
1t was then moved and carried that
one convention be called for the selec-
ton of congressional. state and sena-
torial delegates.

KEPT IN THE DARK.
Democrats Think Facts About
Panama Are Held Back.

Washington, Jan. ia conference of
the Democratic senators to discuss the
Panama situation was held today. More
than two hours were consumed in con-
sideration of the various plans suggest
ed of getting full information, concern
ing the alleged participation by United
States officials in the revolution of the
Isthmus.
Nearly every senator spoke, and it
was the unanimous opinion that the
Republican senators are in possession
of facts which had been withheld from
the Democrats. Despite this feeling it
was agreed there is no way the canaf
treaty can be defeated in the senate.
1t was admitted that a number of
Democrats must vote for ratification of
the convention as their geographical
position and the consequent CONNER
ciaI interests demand it.

SPREAD AT A DANCE.
How Linwood Came to Have Plague
of Smallpox.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. ia dance
was given at Linwood recently and
among those who attended was a young
man of Kansas City. Kan, who had
smallpox, and who as later ascertained,
was nursing a friend in Kansas City
who had the disease. This young man
danced with the young ladies of Lin
woods best families and sat down at
the festal board with others. A very
prominent citizen of the town sat next
to him, and caught it
Shortly after the departure from Lin
wood the germs began to get in their
work and several cases resulted, but
now owing to the very able manner in
which the disease has been handled
there are but two houses under quar-
antine there. At Fall Leaf six fam
lilies are under quarantine as the direct
result of the young mans visit.
Sheriff Myers went to Lfnwood and Fall
Leaf at the request of DR.. LangwOrthy,
county health officer, to establish quar-
antines over the houses in which persons
are Ill with the disease. Complaint was
made to the county health officer that a
certain family was violating the quaran-
tine regulations, so the sheriff went to the
towns. In company with Drs. Warning.
Phillips and Scott, Sheriff Meyers paid a
visit to all of the houses and the inmates
were told what the quarantine reguld-
tons were and asked to abide by them
absolutely, which they will no doubt do
as they do not wish the contagiOn to
spread any more than it has already. T.

DEAD AND CAME TO LIFE.
Man Tells of Happiness
in Heaven.

Harrisburg, Ill, Jan. 19.-The days of
miracles are not passed. according to
those familiar with the death and re-
turn to life of Ulysses S. Roberts,
cigarmaker and musician. He had been
afflicted with consumption for nearly
year. Two weeks ago his condition be-
came worse and a few days later he
called his wife and two children to his
beside, and kissing them goodbye. told
them of the fast approaching end. In
the presence of the family, his pastor,
Rev. a. s. Maxey. of the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church of this city. At
torney r. 8. Marsh, his family physi-
clan and a number of relatives, he died.
An undertaken was called. Twelve
hours had elapsed since the spirit had
left the body, when suddenly the figure
lying on the cot smiled and opened its
eyes. Mr.. Roberts then spoke and lslz
ed them how long he had been gone,
and, when told, he said:
That's strange; it seems to me I
have been gone 1000 years. have been
in Heaven and I have been happy"
He told of his meeting his father
who had long preceded him and other
relatives and friends. Many questions
were asked by the pastor, Rev. A. S.
Maxey. concerning Heaven and, the de-
ScriptiOn given by him was wonderful.
But" said he, ST have Just seven
days to reEe2in on earth when I will
leave you until we meet up yonder.''
When asked by Rev. M. MaXey as to
how Jesus appeared he said he was
most always happy, except at times
when he beheld this earth stepped in
sin. Roberts expressed a desire to re-
turne to Heaven, and true to his pre-
diction, on the seventh day, and at
the very hour named, he again died.

PHILIPS TO MANAGEIT.
Will Call the Hoch-Mulvane Caucus
Here.

The Mulvane forces in Shawnee
county are preparing to use the power
of the county central committee to
hold caucus to nominate delegates to
the county convention and thereby
pack that convention with delegates
who will vote for Hoch delegation to
go from Shawnee county to the state
convention at Wichita.
H. NJ. Philips, chairman of the Shaw
nee county Republican central
committee, intends to call for q caucus
to be held in each ward in the city and
each township in the country. He in
tends to name the place where the
caucuses shall be held and to announce
the date on which they shall be held.
What right Mr.. Philips, as chairman
of the central committee has to issue
any call for ward and township eau
cuses is a mystery and as Philips is
treasurer of the BOSS Busters it GER
tainly seems that he is using his posi-
ton on the Republican county commit
tee to show partisanship and claim
whatever power he needs to further
the purposes of the Mulvane forces in
Shawnee county.
The primaries for the election of dele
gates to the county convention will be
held under the Crawford county sys-
tenn and there is nothing to prevent
other caucuses and other lists of dele
gates being selected than those Mr..
Philips contemplates.

WAR CRISIS AND MARKETS.

The troubles which have beset Wall
street for many months, have about
disappeared with two exceptions. These
are the Northern Securities case and
the war crisis in the east. In a dis
cussiOn of the situation the Financial
Review says:
AS to the latter predictions are use
less. Just now the outlook is more
peaceful. And yet careful considera-
ton leads to the opinion that war will
be difficult, if not impossible, to avert
unless Russia backs down, which seems
unlikely. Concessions are possible that
viii delay hostilities, but Russia's per-
sistent policy of encrOachment, made
imperative as a matter of national self
preservation, seems destined to bring
hef in armed conflict some day. 1t is
the inevitable clash of two systems of
civilization; that of government con-
troll represented by Russia, and that of
individual freedom represented by Ja-
pan. Russia under her economic Sys-
human beings and more territory to
tax; and Japan alone stands in her
path towards contamination of these
designs. This explains why Japan
finds so much international sympathy,
and Russia so little. AS for the sinew
of war, money, it is difficult to say
where it will be provided. France, Rus
sia's strongest friend, already holds
about 81, 500, DOC, 600 OF russian bonds,
and is not likely to be hungry for
more; especially as such aid would Of
fend England, who is a much better
customer for French products than
Russia. There is no other country that
would be anxious to lend Russia, ex-
cept upon exorbitant rates; and it must
not be overlooked that Russia's cruel
treatment of the Jews has brought her
the dislike of powerful bankers of that
race who could easily put obstacles
in the way of Russian borrowings. On
the other hand Japan could undoubted-
ly place large amounts of bonds in
London. where both sympathy and
self-interest are on her side. Discre-
ton would no doubt lead Russia to
moderate her aggressions; the ques-
ton is, can she2 Eventually her gov
ernmentaI industrial schemes must
break and produce serious internal dis
sensions. It is a gamble, therefore,
whether or not not war will precipitate
these -dissensions or postpone them;
but just now the war party is donin-
! ant both at St. Petersburg and at To-
kio, and therein lies the danger.
If Japan insists upon her demands,
which are that Chinese sovereignty in
Manchuria, also Japanese influence over
Corea, be continued. war will be the
outcome. 1t must be remembered that
/ Russia has for many centuries past
/ been scheming for an open sea outlet

northern ports for two-thirds of the
year Russia's original scheme of re-
lief was via Constantinople. but that

Cincinnati Jan. 19.-The convention
of the Boot and Shoe Workers Interna-

ton of the st. Louis controversy Sec
retary-Treasurer G. L. Balm of Boston,
made an elaborate statement to show
that Messrs. Pinta, Lawrence and Mot
tan were mistaken in their charges
about misuse of funds and incorrectness
of the books. He produced the reports
of the auditor and committees.
Messrs. Pinta, Lawrence and Mottan
had returned to st. Louis, and there
were no such scenes today as char
acterized the session of yesterday al
ternoon when Organizers McMorrow
and Slovenian were criticized by the

were false
T. c. Farrell, reported that he exam

MOUND H1m Ar WILL

| People are learning more about the
abilities of Mr.. Hoch as the campaign
progresses. He is becoming a lightning
change political artist. First he was
not a candidate, then a passive candi-
date, now an active candidate, soon to
become a swinging round-the-c circle
candidate.
It is wonderful, the influence the
Burton people have over Mr.. Hoeh-
There are some in the movement who
have no use for Burton. They are the
ones who are being manipulated and
do not know the inside. The real pull
ers of the wires are Burton managers
and people itching for place.
Burton's only hope in Kansas lies in
some sort of revolution. In the noise
and explosion which follow he expects
to carry off the plumber. Hoch is mere
plastic clay in the hands of the mould
ers.
Frank Grimes. one of Mr.. Burton's
most intimate political managers, says
the Hoch movement is catching like
wildfire. If Mr.. Hoch displays no more
backbone when he gets into Office than
he has before the nomination. he win
be the weakest Of governors. He has
now permitted the Burton people to
run him and move his mind about like
they would a pawn on the checker
board.
He is becoming a good man going
wrong; a partisan turning a faction
