RUSSIAN PROTEST.
Note to Powers Accuses China OF
Giving Aid to Japan.

Paris, Jan. 18.-The Associated
Press learns authoritatively that Rus
sia's note addressed to the powers rel
alive to China's breaking neutrality
gives what Russia claims to be abso.
lutte proof Of Chinese breaches. The
three main complaints are:
First, that the Islands Of Miaotao,
in the straits of Penhill, opposite Port
Arth r, have been constantly used by
the Japanese without Chinese inter-
ference as strategical base and as a
harbor for Japanese torpedo boats.
Second, that the Chinese army on
the border has accepted the command
Of Japanese officers.
Third. that Chinese firms have been
constantly working in behalf Of the
Japanese, supplying them with provi-
sions, military accoutrements and gen.
eral war stores.
The note lengthily sets forth the de-
tails and complains that China has
not given satisfactory explanations Of
the breaches of neutrality and that
therefore Russia advises the powers
that she intends to use complete liber-
ty Of action in regard to future abuse
of neutrality.

the COwAROlY SHARK.

Every sailor in the South Seas, de-

knows that the shark Is a coward. A
man who has served many years in the
navy tells Of an experience with sharks
at Tahiti. A crew Of seamen gunners
had obtained permission to take a
beach swim, and had not given n
thought to sharks, although they had
seen numbers Of them about the har-
Dor.
In addition to being young, writes
the sailor, was more self-confident
than I've ever been since. because
there wasn't a man or boy on board
that could teach me anything about
swimming. That's how It came about

water on the Papete beach proceeded
to outswim all the rest. just to show

When turned. I saw about hun

lows from our ship lined up on the
beach at the edge Of tho water, jump

arms at me, and yelling with all their
might. But saw something more
important than that. There were. II

more than ten yards from me.

RATE BILL READY.
Pre- sident's Views Embodied In Meas
ure Proposed by Hepburn.

Washington, Jan. l6.-President
Roosevelthas held a conference with
Secretary Taft and Representative Hep
burn of Iowa, chairman Of the inter-
state and foreign commerce committee
OF the house, regarding railroad freight
rate legislation. At the conclusion Of
the conference Representative Hepburn
said he had prepared a bill on the sub.
ject of freight rates which embodied
the recommendations Of the president
30 far as they went. Mr.. Hepburn
added that in few days conference
would be held, probably at the White
House. for the consideration of the
measure he had prepared.
edo you think rate legislation will
be ratified at the present session." he
was asked.
II do, most certainly" replied Mr..
Hepburn. II believe the house will
pass q measure before the end Of this
month. and there is no reason why it
should not be crystallized into law be-
fore the session ends
There were some informal confer
ences among the senators ON the ques.
ton Of railroad legislation after the
senate adjourned. The general opinion
expressed was that there is not suffi.
cient time left to accomplish anything
in that line during the present session
Of congress.

ARBITRATION TREATIES.

80 OF Transmission. 49,
Washington, Jan. l6.-The senate
has made public the letter Of the pres.
idsnt to the senate regarding the arbi-
tration treaties sent to the senate De.
cember Is, 1904. In this letter the
president says:
"These conventions do not 60 % far
% could wish in scope and object.
but they form, taken together, very
important step in the progress Of the
world toward . policy Of q peaceful
solution Of such difficulties as cannot
conveniently be settled BY diplomatic
negotiation. Their very limitations.
which seem Questionable to many ad.
vocstes Of q policy Of arbitration, are
not without compromising advantages.
They commit none Of the contracting
parties to any action in opposition to
their national interests, their policy or
their aspirations. Their principal val.
ne is that they constitute a considera.
BILE advance in the direction Of the
purpose so ardently desired, Of the
reign of universal peace and good will.
"No discrimination has been made
among the powers signatory to The
Hague convention who have desired to
enter into these friendly relations, and
it would be undesirable from the
standpoint Of what this government is
striving to accomplish to make any
such discrimination. I should not
willingly exchange ratifcations with
any Of the powers unless the series Of
conventions as a whole should meet
with the favorable consideration Of
the senate"
